Merlot created a topic of I Am The Villain

i couldn't care less for the ship right now - is this the first time blondie bro hears about what happened to her?? He looked shocked, but if he puts two and two together, he'll be the only one to actually believe Lucy when she says she's not Lucia. Well, he already knows, and thinks she's faking it, but maybe now he'll realize that she TRIED to tell everyone, and was treated as if she was crazy. PLS team up! I'm a sucker for found family/sibling reconciliation stories!

Merlot created a topic of For My Abandoned Love

I binge read the novel and i am so EXCITED for all that is to come. If the manhwa stays loyal to the novel, then the ending is SO satisfying!!

Merlot answered question about confess to your crush
As a gay man, I absolutely agree. Not to say that there aren't people IRL with strict preferences, but in fiction there seems to be a strong adherence to gender roles even in portrayals of gay couples (you can tell that the authors tend to have a "which one is the woman in this relationship" way of thinking when writing gay couples).

It depends, if the main purpose is to chat and exchange news, then we meet up for coffee or tea at a nice café. If we just want a usual hangout without anything specific to talk about, we tend to go bouldering, swimming, or just hiking if the weather is ok.

the way I want to punch his dad's face in....

Anyway, Etienne remains my absolute fave and I'm ok everything and everyone else burned down so long as he ends up happy.

Merlot answered question about wanna date
They went to the same med school (different classes, dad was a year older). He asked her out, and that was that, lol.
Merlot answered question about question
Reading the answers here is absolutely horrifying. I'm sorry that so many have had to go through so much - the shit yall went through is something that should not have happened. I teach econ at a small private university, and while most of the faculty are fantastic, there's always that handful who treats teaching like a power fantasy fulfillment o......
Merlot created a topic of The Origin of Species

The shoe scene is perfect. The red-flag MLs from other stories could never, lmao.



"In the end the origin of species is love." I read this line in a spoiler ages ago and it's haunted me ever since. I LOVE how it wraps up the whole story with this point.

Merlot answered question about stay at home for several days
I've heard it works for some, but I'm not interested in it on any level (not in a story or irl).
Merlot answered question about stay up too late reading yaoi
"does instagram translate palestinian to terrorist arabic english" A bit of context: someone told me this is happening (or was happening). I wanted to see if there's any backlash. Meta issued some faux apology about this "error". Just thinking about it makes me angry again.
Merlot created a topic of Bokura no Shokutaku

i love this so much omg so good and sweet! The only thing I wish we could have had would've been some sort of closure regarding his family, but that's just me thirsting to see some remorse from the brother and sister who were absolute assholes. Ugh!!

anyway, this is an easy 5 stars. LOVE IT!!

Merlot answered question about favorite food
No. In Sweden, we have bananas on pizza instead, which works much better.

someone pls spoil me - does she say yes? I LOVE THEM!

idk why but I feel like something is going to go sideways very very soon. Or do I dare to dream that MC gets to be happy already?

i love this SO MUCH also those two girls in chapter 88? ICONS "read the room, limp dick" IM IN TEARS.

Anyway, this is still my #1. Perfect for me in every way, although I'd be even happier if Eve grew up (physically) a bit.
