As a woman who has had her nipples pierced,
do not ever pull on them so soon! It can take 6 months to a year for them to "heal" properly. In the first month, you should avoid touching them outside of cleaning, and you should never, while they are "healing" put mouths or unwashed hands anywhere near them. Because of how close your nipples are to your heart and brain, an infection could be deadly.
Also, you may have noticed heal being in quotes, and this is due to how nipple heal. So nipple piercings will almost never heal in the same way as ear piercings. Taking your piercings out of your nipple is actually super likely to close within minutes if not seconds. I had to take mine out after a year, because some guy kept unscrewing the ends of my barbells, and they kept getting infected. They also damaged the nerves in one of my nipples, so it is less of an erogenous zone than it had been before. Not to mention, they get caught on everything. Once got my nipple caught on a seat belt, hurt so bad! Lol.
I know this is fantasy, but I think it is important to know how this actually works, and that this is not safe to do. Also, if you still want them, make damn certain your aren't allergic to surgical steel like I am, and get titanium for every piercing if you can afford it. I wish mine had been done initially with titanium, but I didn't know.
So, inexperience is not an excuse. I asked my partner what sex is like the first time for men, and he told me there is no loss of control, and that that is a myth made up to excuse rape. He said what most men can count on is coming too quickly.
So, this was rape. They set it up in a way to try to foreshadow it, putting in his inexperience, putting in Courtney not wanting to let go of the power, and both of their confusion around it not going in. Under no circumstances was this not rape. If they do this series right, they will have this make an actual phycological impact on Courtney, and it should change their relationship moving forward. Courtney, as the victim, has the right to hold him accountable, and to decide the consequences he should need to endure. Also, I am not talking in a sexual manner.
Richard has no excuses, and if they do him right, he should feel nothing but extreme remorse for this. He should do everything in his power to change so that he never becomes the person he was in this chapter. Change is possible in these instances, but he should have to work tirelessly to repair the relationship if possible, or end it if the other party requests as much. I wish there was a way to know if jail was a thing in this series, as that is what he truly deserves, mistake or not, because no means no.
Also, I have been raped, as these are my own opinions based on what I have gone through, and do not indicate actual law.
Also adding, I believe people are able to change, but I don't believing in change that happens when they are not held accountable for their actions. No one should get away with taking away someone's choice.
I am 5.5 chapters in, and this guy nneeds to jump off a cliff. For anyone who doesn't fucking know, if someone takes away a medical device that allows you to move about freely, that is imprisonment and abuse. If they imply that if something bad that happens to you is your fault, that is abuse. If they insult you or pressure you into doing things that cause you physical, mental or emotional pain, that is abuse. And if someone implies that having a disability means your life is war, that is ableist and abuse.
The ML is genuinely disgusting, and even though I am only 5 chapters in, this already reads as disability porn. Like, if he tries to take your cane, hit him with it. If he forces you to walk without it, so he can have you cling to him, step on a bitches feet. If he calls you a nuisance for being disabled, ask him what he thinks of his warriors when they lose limbs, eyes, ears and so on. This man is garbage. And it is equally garbage to portray a disabled person as being incapable of standing up for themselves. Fucking pathetic.
Dude not realizing this was written by someone in the 21st century, about a time period that doesn't exist irl. This series is fictitious, and even if it wasn't, time period does not excuse abuse. The man in this series is the villain, and no excuses should be supplied on the basis of, it was a different time period.
If the plot failed to show how wrong this was, as it kinda does in more than a few instances, it is wrong. Just because it happened before, does not excuse it as ok. That is the same as say, well depicting child marriage is fine, cause it was done back then, whilst failing to make it known how bad that actually is for the fucking actual child in the story.
Depicting the FL as having instances of crushing on the ML, completely ignores the actual threats and abuse he has caused her. It is also insanely inaccurate as to how stolckholm works. Random fucking people can't just show up and have you immediately in love with them like that.
Actual abusers use love bombing first to get you comfortable with them. Once you are, they then begin to test and push your boundaries. They will then start to convince you that your family and friends can't be trusted. It is a process that takes years. I would fucking know, I have been through it.
So when we make stories that depict characters that are dangerous when seen irl, it is important to depict them that way. Because some little teen somewhere may click on this title before any others, and end up thinking that is normal and OK behavior. It being a different time and being "normal" doesn't excuse anything.
I can't be certain about that yet. I usually save my takes for the end, but the ML is an abusive piece of garbage, and it sickens me how the FL still has moments where she is taken by his looks, despite the abuse! Shy is one thing, but being attracted to someone who hurt you is another.
I really am hoping that this isn't some, oh he loves her so much, and that's why he thought it was ok to threaten her and remove her ability to walk on her own, so she would be forced to either bare the pain or lean on him. Cause that's fucking love somehow!
I actually honestly wish that the, it's fantasy, therefore no one will learn anything from it, was a true fucking statement. And then I look over my shoulder and realize flat earthers are a thing, and you should not have that much faith in humanity.
Also, because I was being abused as a kid, I know how easy it can be to read something and not think to hard on how that would play out irl, and that came with consequences. There already isn't a great amount of representation for people with disabilities, which is why the messaging here is important. People who abuse others are abusers, and should be depicted properly as the fuckwads they are. It is that simple.
Acting as if the ML actions don't matter, threatening someone's life, causing the person physical pain, forcing them into a situation where they have to marry you by using your literal power over them, and the rape that would follow that are all pretty fucking bad. And before anyone argues, yes, any "sex" after being threatened into a relationship, is rape. I know I haven't gotten there yet, but considering the 1st chapter that shows her running away whilst pregnant, I have to go on what has been shown thus far regarding his character, and come to the obvious conclusion of rape. The stolckholm will be strong in this one.
You're good! Everyone is allowed to say how something makes them feel. I specifically spoke up, because I have had the displeasure of being severely abused, and used that to come to my conclusions. I am always chill to talk about it and explain my side, and I like engaging in others thoughts as well. It may not change my opinion, but you never know!
Also, I appreciate the well wishes! I am actually a pretty positive person most of the time, I'm resilient like that, so I am gonna make it through this! I win everyday! If I am still here, I have won!
The idea that Nux has died multiple times, and has been continuously brought back is insane. It would actually explain Asperiers obsession with him. But, I wonder how Nux will take that info when he isn't in danger. Like, will he glaze over the idea that somewhere on the ship is his dead body? Also, these are bodies from the timeline he is in, so it is safe to assume that Asperier meeting Nux when he did as we are reading it, was specifically due to how many times he has failed to keep Nux alive. At no point did I expect this plot to actually plot like that.
5 chapters in, and I hate it. Everything about the begining plot was extremely rushed, so there was no time to get to know our FL before the betrayal of her spouse. The FL literally states their intent to get revenge on their evil for the sake of being evil spouse. He literally put her parents heads in front of her, and she clearly had the intent to make him pay.
So how the absolute fuck did she go from wanting revenge for her family to wanting to kill herself so desperately? Like, if you are about to die, and have no say in surviving, it makes sense to just give up. But if you manage to survive, you don't just magically become suicidal, especially when the man who killed your parents is still fucking alive.
Her being suicidal almost feels like it was only put there so that ML could rape her, which is stupid, as he had been raping her the whole time up to that point.
As it stands, the characters never got adequate time to become characters, and we have not had adequate time to create a bond to the characters given to us, so all the things that have happened in the last 5 chapters feels rushed and hollow.
Leopard can't actually purr. No big cats can purr, except for cheetahs. Cheetahs also chirp to each other, and if you haven't heard it, you should, cause it's adorable.
Yes and no! They can't produce true purrs due to the flexibility of their hyoid bones (the bone that vibrates when small cats purr) but they do produce a similar sound when feeling content
https://youtu.be/LFr9n-WwWlU
Yes, that is true. Though, leopards actually can't roar as loud as lions and tigers. Also, I would love to have one of these series with a jaguar, but also, one with accurate patterning on it. They are my favorite big cat, and get overlooked and often mistaken as leopards, and that just sucks. Sorry, lol.
Toxic scans was a scan group on here that was consistently blackmailing, bashing, and stealing works from authors. The Author of Dear Door being one of their victims. Toxic scans was removed, but made another account under the name of Celestial scans, and is continuing the behavior.
Among the list of things was racism towards African Americans, referring to them as raccoons or the n word, transphobia, homophobia, as well as making fun of eating disorders and threatening the authors whose work they stole. Please, do not support them. They have not changed anything aside from there name, and to top it all off, they use google to translate, which is why many of the chapers they do don't make a lick of sense.
Please report them, they do not deserve another chance to do this to more authors, and this could get mangago taken down.










Does the shitty chapter cutting stop at any point? I can't fucking make heads or tails of anything, and it is killing my immersion. Does the choppy hell I am going through ever stop? If not, I am gonna have to drop this, which sucks, cause the story is really good so far.
