I better see uncle Bill punch Mattrash like that later in the future. Punching Kyle like that when he could've just easily push him away instead of causing both of them falling and hurting themselves.
"Ian keeps going back to tj"
Ian: walk in an alley minding his business
tj: finds Ian and drags him to the toilet and guides what he selfishly wants to do.
The only problem is Ian needs to take a stand against tj actions. That the only criticism as of now and how you say the oppsite of what actually happens dilutes the storytelling.
1. Ian did not go back to tj, he was found by tj. 2. Ian did not say his life is miserable without tj, he said tj leaving after the funeral (after Ian gave him a answer) made him feel miserable.
3. Ian did not imply pleasure in their sex, he implied it's only a familiar feeling, how their sex is always conditioned. That's it.
I feel like this fandom is just a bunch of surface level readers that ruin the story. Tj is rightfully hated. Jo is not. Half the shit tj has told Ian yall would burn Jo at the stake if he had said it. Cut the hypocrisy already and take off the rose tinted glasses when discussing what is actually happening between their words and actions.
Amen
TJ is really a piece ot shit thats for sure, but the way you are saying he "guide' Ian into sex doesnt seem right. You even add Ian needs to take a stand against TJ.
Ian is the one who keeps making the choice over and over again to be with TJ. And he is making that choice based on his feelings and no other influence as far as i know. So what Ian needs to do is make a choice : go back to TJ and be miserable OR move on.
In this chapter, Ian actually seemed pretty into it sexually. Atleast for the first half (up.until the penetration started). My guess is he loves both ML but slowly leaning more towards Jo.
Also, saying "ian keeps going bacl to TJ" is probably meant as him keep going back on his situationship with TJ, not him physically going back to TJ.
Idk why but I’m always relieved to see your comments it’s nice knowing someone actually understands the story instead of just glazing their fave (mostly tj stans) without really seeing what’s going on.
You misinterpreted what I meant by guide, my fault since it does seem worded weirdly. I didn't imply guide Ian INTO sex. I said guide Ian as in guide him into a PLACE to have sex because that what tj wants to do, but its not like we havent seen tj actually guide (coerced) ian before. The rest of your comment (minus the last paragraph) is a longer version of what I said/directed. I don't see the need to tell me.
Last part could be so but ig you haven't seen many of the comments saying Ian went back to tj directly. Still doesn't change the fact most of the time Ian doesn't go back but actually follows after being found by tj several times. Ian only went back once (from what we seen) and that was at the funeral which tj lost the opportunity after Ian finally (basically) gave an answer.
Thank you♡ I do appreciate when others like what I comment. It's very hard when the majority of readers, all sides, don't understand the context. I even get upset with Jo stans because every once in a while they act like tj stans when Ian enters his turmoil and self destructive state. This story is not meant for everyone esp if they refuse to accept Ian relationships with both tops.
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
It's so obvious tj wants to stay in the past while Ian does not. They aren't meant to be, and just like the lyric of the song the author shared before the update, "it was never worth to begin with".
What song?
Right. People focus so much on how many years they’ve been together, but never care for the suffering within those years. It’s so depressing.
Vivid la la love by lee chanhyuk. A song about delusional love and an imagination of attachment of to survive.
The Twitter tag is a bunch of fools twisting the narrative. All they're thinking is the red blushing on Ian face instead of his words,
OMG lmao I saw a post regarding that. It’s insane how delusional they can be. I can tell most are kids.
Whether you want Jo with someone else or "better" but stop saying that Ian x tj should be together because both are bad when it's the oppsite because no fucking way tj deserves Ian after all the misery he put Ian through for a decade. At the least, Ian deserves to get away from him permanently.
And once again this chapter confirms nothing in their relationship changed and all that is holding it by a thread is sex. The only so called chemistry they have because outside sex they have no chemistry at all. But can I call this chemistry when Ian is visibly annoyed?
Well for me, it seems more like Ian missed TJ and communicates this by responding to the sex. Sex is kind of their communication, it’s what they’re used to. The intimacy here was also pretty fast paced, little to no proper prep time, and at end we see TJ about to stick it in.
I don't doubt Ian miss him a bit but if he really, really did why didn't he respond to tj saying he missed Ian. Why did Ian initially push tj away. Right now Ian is angry and we already know he grew accustom to tj wants because tj never let's Ian have his way because tj does not listen to Ian. Even when Ian lets it happen, Ian facial expressions shows hints of uncomfortability. Like he has many times before with tj.
Hence the sex is used as communication. I don’t think it’s the norm for them to verbalise how they feel all the time, especially Ian. Maybe Ian was upset at TJ for being away, so this is also why I suspect they might not be endgame due to having to wait for the one he loves.
I believe that Ian’s love for TJ was strong back then, it’s still love but that spark is gone. It’s reasonable for that to be the case because it’s been a decade.
Ian has a mouth and this encounter only happened cause he want to when he killed those guys. Even TJ said that he thought all Ian wanted was a quiet life. This uke is make me more frustrated as time passes
I'm sorry but I need share a funny ass comment I saw on tiktok. Someone said Keira daddy issues were so strong she picked his twin to be her ML
I mean, did majority of readers thought erez saved her during that explosion (? Can't fully remember) but next chapter it show is was her father. Starting to feel like the writer made the father blonde (he was originally white hair) just for this reason lol lol
I can't help but love Toby. She cares so much even though shes not close to either of them but knows both Ian and Jo are someone she can trust. I can't wait for all of them be family, uncle Ian definitely spoil her baby
No one is [badly] mischaracterizing tj. This chapter literally show his greed to own Ian while he's also out and about (Ian reactions says alot). People just speak on his negative side because that what impacted Ian life more. Most stop giving him the benefit of the doubt, we thought he saved Ian from David, he didn't, we thought he help Ian to rehab, he didn't but tj and most readers think he did. Not sorry people need speak on his negative side more frankly because people do mischaraterize him as a certain savior that he's not. Well not a savior presay but as someone who's actions are (look) beneficial but they're just selfish actions
Leave the fan translation on bat0 because you can separate fan and official translation on that site while on here, you can't.
Ch.1-7 so far it's good, feels like Felix is a double agent, the scene with Romani was suspicious but I'm disappointed he's not a power bottom (yet?) what a lost opportunity. But I do appreciate a uke with a dominant personality.
Edit: (CH.11) OOHHHHHH AM I WRONG?!?! HE BETYER BE A POWER BOTTOM.
Edit: (CH.12-14) like I said a lost opportunity.... story nice though I'm intrigued mainly with Felix, the seme is annoying not gonna lie lol but he's learning ig
