If we go by the premise that even trash was something useful once, and, the ml is the main subject, maybe he could be falling into a contradiction when saying that 'if everybody was born with means, like power and money, they would choose the same path as his'. But 'to be useful' is to have a purpose, good or bad. It's, ultimately, always about choices. Like some says, nobody is born good or bad. Nobody can explain exactly what makes a person 'evil', like serial killers, child molesters or rapists, even when they were raised in comfort or in a loving family (in flower fields). It's always about making choices. Everyone is born with the capacity to do some level of harm but what makes some more inclined to do extreme acts of violence... human nature is not so black and white but this characters are, opposites in fact, so is very interesting see them clash and burn.
I just want the mc to seek therapy after this and not being another story about ml crushing mc's spirit and the later becomes a toy, a pawn or a living proof of his rotten beliefs.
I need the mc to emotionally scar ml for life or put another one on his face, what comes first (me choosing violence lol)
I love when this kind of things makes me think lol
Lol rare yaoi with 10/10 philosophical overtones
Noo, I'm sorry I was trying to like but I'm dumb
The betrayal gonna hurt :/ but I'm here for Seth and he chasing Horus later on. I love Horus but... love really is blind and selfish and so complicated and I want to see him crushed and be a full and proper God.
sorry for the dislike, pressed by accident! Anyways can you share more? Is Horus gonna betray Seth? Like he gonna be too obsessed to the point of betrayal?
If you don't mind spoilers, this is kind of what's going to happen almost after their alone time.
BTW Sorry english is not my first language and it depends about your own view on their whole relationship but this is my take:
Seth is going to found out about the 'Nepthis' in the mirror because Hathor, using her own mirror, the one we saw at the end of this chapter, is going to tell him in hope for Horus to "wake up" from this fantasy he has, about him liking his uncle (another male), and she's being obligated by Osiris. Remember he was hurting Bastet. But she's going to say a lot of things, making Seth doubt about his relationship with Horus and everythig he told him, even his love confession, but the worst is the Nephthy's thing. Seth confronts Horus, asking him if he knew about that all this time why he didn't tell him, and Horus really doesn't know how to defend himself. He also doesn't tell him that Nephthy's already out. Everything is going south and Thoth intervenes and, probably because he knows what's going to happen, he uses his powers to teleport Seth, Horus, FG and the slave out of his temple. Outside, Seth is confused and he wants to go back to his wife to talk to her(free her), not before telling Horus that they're in an unnatural relationship, that he needs to marry Hathor as king of Egipt, that he was going with the flow, and that he needs time to think; but Horus feels that Seth is abandon him, that he's denying his love or that he is confusing admiration with love. Take this with a grain of salt because I used google translator. The thing is that Horus is deeply hurt and he doesn't want Seth to go back because that means, in his mind, that he's going to go back being in a marital relationship with his wife, erasing him from his life as someone who loved him and just wanted to be loved back. Horus's sadness mix with his raw jealousy, anger and controlling nature and there's a brief fight with Seth. I'm not sure about what triggered Seth's anger, he was acting more dissapointed and evasive till the fight, but he launchs a feral attack to Horus and the later just gives up and recieves it as a kind of punishment... and the eyes things happens.
Both sides are feeling betrayed. Seth thinks Horus was lying all this time and, he was never fully on board with this relationship so finding out about his wife gave him the excuse to leave. Hathor's words remind him of his duties as a husband too, as a 'man'... Seth always had that side of him, kinda rejecting that he could love another man, the son of his sister nevertheless. But he never said he loved Horus but his actions seemed that way tho.
And with Horus, he feels Seth betrayed him with the firm rejection and denying of his feelings, his memories, his own self really because all about Horus is about loving Seth, keeping his demigod status because he wants to be the one to remember about that sand god before he was known as war god... so Horus succumbs to despair in that moment.
So this is the thing that Thoth said about love being the thing that changes even what's being foresighted. That even Gods are not free from that. Not even Ra's successor and the owner of the udyat is numb to it.
Again, sorry, english is not my first language hut I hope it helps
He launches a feral attack towards Horus cuz he was breaking the mirror, and as you said "out if jealousy with a mix of anger and some other emotions" and Seth must've thought he's breaking/killing Nepthys who's inside the mirror, as you said Seth still didn't know she's already out..
Thank you. Omg I completely forgot about Horus breaking the mirror. But, true, that was the reason why Seth went after Horus and attacked his eyes.
He really destroyed something he liked/loved (feared too) about Horus and just... left him like that, seriously injured,... all that for him to still 'abandon' Horus. I guess he was in such state of shock about the level of his own rage and actions to even let himself be 'helped' by the FG, but this was the first time I actually liked the FG to be honest. He needed to intervene even if it was to take Seth away before more damage, physically and psychologically, was done. I have not read the lastest chapter because I wanted to let this marinate, but I saw some spoilers of Horus with a bandage on his head. Too depressing.
Kinda like that this doesn't romanticize criminals or cops. Ofc there's the element that the ml is clearly attracted to mc in whatever level or form but that's not the focus. I don't want them romantically together and I don't want redemption for the mc because.... Like, how... he's unredeemable... Not even with a sad past lol He should stay trash and mc should stay resilient even with all the shit that's happening around and done to him. I know when cops go deep undercover they are forced to do drugs or even kill, so what he choose to do to his friend is not that crazy nor inevitable but something he has to live with. That's why I hope he maintains his sanity and don't succumb to ml's mindgames.
But I like ml's design. It's very fitting.
One of those rare yaoi where the MC values his principles above all else, he kinda reminds me of a shonen/seinen hero tbh
True, that's why he needed his 'villian' or at least an 'antithesis', someone being an extreme opposite of him. A contradiction.
It's just me or the colouring seems whiter? I was getting used to the change in art style, Yuan being younger, prettier with very white pinkish skin than just being average looking but still hadsome and actually looking like some young adult. The Yuan in the beginning didn't look like a twink lol Now he's round and big eyes and more pouty lips. Ahjussi looks younger too and his skin a bit more in the warm tones than the cold ones. And bit more light skinned too. They changed the artist?
And it's kinda sad how they always do this kind of thing. They're afraid of melanin.
The same for Jinx by Mingwa, Kim Dan looked like a man in the beginning, then he was twinkified lol
This could have been so much better... I have mix emotions about this work. Like, I get why the top didn't want to give up on this new guy, but for real, it wasn't his fault that his last relationship didn't work. He was cheated on and dumped after 5 fucking years.... It's traumatic. And he fell in love so fast with the new guy. The top is boyfriend/husband material but that stubbornness and saviour complex are red flags. But I guess that's him falling in love so deeply. The bottom had so many problems that's unrealistic he will change just with pure will. He needs therapy. Natsuro, the top, really deserved more. I really thought Tsuyuhiko, the bottom, knew him and that's why he came to the bench that day when Natsuro was sad. That maybe he saw him that day when he was dumped and fell for him and waited for a chance if he saw him again... But well...
Kinda want him to just punch the old guy right there, without explanations and then go back to the car but with so many people I doubt it. Maybe his friend will stop him, also, he looked sus as fuck. It's true Gyeol has nothing to do with what the boss and Yesung do in private but his jelousy is in another level. The dumb one. Still, he's also the type to quickly react when something is wrong and just wants to do something to change it. But this time he's gonna bring trouble to Yesung...
Also, this author is in their Jinx era hahahaha with the MMA talk. I love that many works explore that sport.
Did he...? I have not read it yet... I don't want to if he drank it x.x
The mc became a piss fountain and ml stuck out his tongue and got a bit of the fountain
now he didn't drink it like he was doing oral. Just stook out his tongue and a few sprinkles got ib
There should be a warning for this kind of thing too, like when there's violence or devious content. Death centric chapters should always come with a warning... So sad...
Everything is going well for the director. Now he has the mc at his mercy. Probably they're gonna live together in Seoul or something because now there's no reason for the mc to stay alone in his house. Even if he's a creep, getting turn on by the mc's tears when he's crying for his Pet, he still helped him. Even if he looked annoyed the whole time lol
