one one hand i'm like "aww i lowkey feel bad for him with all the burden he's carrying, it must be hard for him" but on the other hand i'm like "WOMP WOMP"
how did the author nail exactly what it feels like to be an out gay guy in a conservative school???? like what sui experienced and what he did to protect himself (making himself the butt of the joke, playing along with the so-called "friends") is EXACTLY what i did as a gay teenager (i was forcefully outed) wtf and the line "i'm glad i was born as me" WTAFFFFFF I AM LITERALLY CRYING RN
like ouch. it's like word by word what sui heard from people once they knew he's gay.
the ml is just 100% pathetic. when he lost his memories, he was so attractive because he was proactive and so forward in loving the fl. but now that he doesn't have those memories, he looks so fucking dumb and stupid and just useless like i don't think a redemption arc can even redeem his ass cuz he just looks so pathetic in a bad way
the title is a journey like my reaction was like "oh okay another fuckbuddy bl- stepbrother?????"
like i'm only here for that. and the rain scene kinda gave what it needed to give. sometimes i go to that specific chapter, put on the 30th by billie eilish and time it so that the bridge comes up when jaehyuk starts panicking in the rain....always an emotional journey to read it like that. but this story is very cliche tbh like it was just meh overall. the art lowkey saved this lol
their sex doesn't turn me on because their touches look like they love each other sm like it makes me feel more wholesome than horny ykwim? it's so sexy but also so so
like fr i really hope he doesn't come back to jaekyung...but that's impossible considering this is literally the author of bj alex. at least like leave him for years pls cuz jaekyung literally treated him less than a human being lowkey
how can someone who goes through so much hatred be so open to empathy and understanding? i understand that she is part of the monarchy (basically part of the "problem"), but realistically as a woman she can't even change anything much (cuz misogyny duh). it's like marie antoinette all over again :( people really do hate women
i love how this manga shows the characters' actions and thought process without ever excusing their shitty actions. the mangaka writes them "yes their actions are wrong, but also here is the past they grew up in. i'm not justifying their actions, i'm showing how they can become the way they are because of their past" and i love that. i love that so so much. takamatsu sensei is an amazing writer wow. the intricacies and details of the characters' conversations and interactions just felt so real to me, as if they're all real people going through real life. and i know there is a lot of psychological mangas that deal with this type of writing, but they're often too depressing/negative....on the other hand, skip & loafer is just so positive and realistic and it always inspires me to become a better person
and i'm going to ignore the hell out of it because as a victim of SA this manga made me feel seen and i go back to this manga a lot of times to heal...the author's note is not needed pls
jiho didn't push all the blame to chungi, he was just mad at chungi because why would he say that to inwoo??? if yall have a friend who you trust with your whole lives to keep what you said a secret from others, and then that same friend went ahead and blabbed about it, won't you be mad at them too??? What he said to chungi might be not the best thing to say, but he said that in confidence and chungi should not have told it to inwoo no matter what tbh i see jiho and inwoo in a mess of a relationship rn, what they both need to do is to communicate properly instead of keeping everything they feel to themselves!!! sick of people saying "jiho is blaming everyone but himself!!" when clearly he regretted what he did, he was just mad that chungi betrayed him by revealing what he said to him, knowing that it would hurt inwoo. yes his actions are wrong, but yall act as if jiho's the villain when inwoo also kept A LOT of things to himself
"nepotism doesn't sound bad" YOU BET IT ISN'T!!!!!! I'm actually annoyed ugh
