well I'm glad this is over. I have not a single positive emotion for this left. remember kids, this man molested a random stranger on the train and now they're lovers! that's romantic. we sure love to see it
Hi, I understand that this is a hard topic for a lot of people but please hear me out.
This is fiction and no one was hurt in the making of it.
There is actually a community for this stuff that's a lot more extreme than this. The fact that ideas such as "safe word" and "consent" were used and respected are very good.
Yes the act of molestation is wrong. The seme got lucky because the uke was fine with it. Was it messed up? Yes. Was it real? No.
While it may not be a trope you like, I would personally say it was done pretty well here. The only improvement they could have made would be if they dealt with the fact that it was molestation. It's just fiction so let us enjoy it.
The rest of the story was consensual non consent.
literally stop trying to berate me. I've read and written more fucked up shit than this knowing full well that it's "just fiction", but that doesn't mean I automatically have to be okay with everything and turn a blind eye all the time. y'all are very much free to enjoy this to your heart's content. I'm not sorry that I can't overlook the fact that this man is a molester and that he's shown little to no remorse whatsoever. so he's respected the use of a safe word once? good for him. in my book at least he's still an asshole though
Emmm I was being genuine with you. Why do you think I was berating you? If I was I would have never wrote anything this mild.
I think I made it obvious that I wasn't pushing my view on you and that I accepted that you don't have to like/approve of it and was just letting you know what I think. Just so that you could understand why someone may be ok with reading this.
"for me, i guess [spring] would be golden."
"golden? why?"
"it's a secret."
maybe there are tears in my eyes rn
so anyways, i was on pins and needles waiting for the next chapter of this and i am SO GLAD that someone did us the great service of translating it.
this was such a cute read. really the only can of worms someone could open up here is that gaku took advantage of an inexperienced himari at first, but other than that it was virtually unproblematic. gaku was gentle and sweet, and his assertiveness didn't feel predatory. himari was cute (he looks absolutely lovely when he's blushing!!!) and dorky. his bluntness was really funny sometimes. also loved the size difference between them! love me couples with big height differences!!
it seems that "blue spring" is an actual saying in japan which means something along the lines of "the best time of one's life", apparently sometimes connected to youth and adolescence. gaku and himari talking about it was obviously referring to their newfound love, and gaku's "for me spring would be golden" was referring to himari, whose hair is blonde (golden)
the things i read just to get 5 pages worth of well drawn nipple play oh lord
lbr there's no way around the fact that the guy is a disgusting piece of shit with no redeeming qualities because he molested a random kid on the train even before that kid started seeking out the physical contact on his own. as long as he keeps it consensual from here on, I'll let him live
what really bothered me this chapter was shii saying "if you act so horrified, it will hurt my feelings" to guilt trip tamaki into kissing him while knowing full well that he is manipulating him ("if I don't use such strategies now, I'll never get to touch tamaki"). if he's thinking like this now, it's a little worrisome to imagine how far he'll take it with this justification. he's putting his own desires above tamaki's obvious discomfort --- though I guess we can attribute that to shii still being unaware of tamaki's trauma and that his own idea of "physical closeness" has an entirely different impact on tamaki.








ok but noah is fucking gorgeous. those eyelashes and his long hair... chefs kiss
