The chapter:
Oh how I wish I could have died 4 minutes ago in an asteroid strike so I didn’t have to have my soul ripped out and shredded right before my eyes like this… ╥﹏╥
You can’t throw the first punch even if it’s to defend someone else. I will say though, Korea is really bad at policing gay discrimination and hate crimes. Usually, a good cop would urge the original assailant to drop all charges because in the court of law, no judge in their right mind would prosecute a human defending their possibly blinded lover over a person who threatened one person and assaulted their lover. With that many people willing to testify, it’s an open and shut case. The main issue is that this isn’t a civil matter, it’s a criminal one and is treated as 2 separate cases since it wasn’t our wounded baby boy who hit doucheface. If he was the one to hit him, it’s self defence but since it was technically third party, it’s assault. The law FUCKING SUCKS for doing that but it’s to stop people from ganging up on people. I just hope that bitchface either got caught on camera or drops the case or both!
I understand the way they voted. I too would have voted with them since I understand why the law exists. The people outside are important since they bring back supplies and if one of them were to die, a villager would have to take their place. In order to maintain status-quo, they set aside provisions and medicine for those on the outside aka the hounds. In order for villagers to be safe on the inside, they need to make it worth it for the hounds. It’s an exchange like we do with our military and their discounts. That’s the part I understand.
What I don’t get is the bat. I can’t tell if it’s because they don’t want weapons in the camp so that no one can kill each other or if it’s cause gyuwon WANTS to feel every hit so he can continue to value a humans life accurately or if it’s cause he enjoys it or what. My best guess is that gyuwon uses a bat as a deterrent to others and himself. It’s brutal and slow and painful and he himself has to deal the blow so he himself is forced to confront the life he’s taken. It’s not like a bullet where you’re detached from your victim. You literally feel every single hit you land because at some point, you crack and break the skull and then you’re sinking deeper into flesh. It’s gross and bloody. Having everyone (adults) watch is like how many countries used to have public executions. This is all just speculation tho. I have no idea why he actually uses a bat.
Best analysis of this chapter
Yeah in a world like theirs this should be the norm. Supplies are limited and not being replenished by factories and people that fabricate them. So finding medical supplies is harder than everything else. You can always make food but medical supplies? Nah they are super scarce...I understand why the father did what he did I do not blame either or. There were reasons for what gyuwon did. Specially the public execution. It's a simple example of actions have consequences and reasons and reasonings
I mean even in our world. In the military, it’s also like this. You don’t take medicine or food without express permission. Even hospitals have to carefully log the medication they use because they have a limited supply given to them. It’s everywhere. The fact that he’s against it is in a way him being an ineffective “peacekeeper”. Like people who glue themselves to the road. It’s not actually changing the system nor does it actually challenge the mindset of the masses. It’s just something they do to feel more righteous while completely overlooking the necessity of the current situation as well as the feelings of those who are forced to be the bearer of responsibility. I hope he apologises to gyuwon. You can see he didn’t wanna do it and he even hit himself as punishment for not being stricter and allowing this sort of insubordination to happen to begin with. Had the dude asked gyuwon, he might have given permission and taken personal responsibility from the dad if a hound needed that ration of medicine. It just sucks.
Yeah… it’s super embarrassing to think back on it but I’m glad it was a family member not a stranger! no one explained the difference between types of love so it’s easy for little children like me to get confused. This is a PSA to please educate children on types of love ╥﹏╥
Levi is a grump. He’s not submissive in the slightest. If the author actually bothered to read the manga or watch the anime, they would know Levi is the furthest thing from submissive even for a soldier. In fact, he disobeys direct command on so many occasions it’s a mystery how he wasn’t court martialed. He doesn’t even trust Erwin, he just respects his position. As lovers, Levi is more decisive and Erwin is more permissive cause that’s their original dynamics. Levi also wouldn’t be caught dead being carried. He would rather his lifeless body be dragged on the floor than lifted. Please authors do your research. As shippers, we literally love the original characters and don’t want them changed!
My friend has those exact proportions and she freaks me out sometimes ╥﹏╥
How can someone be the same size as you sitting down (5’0 for me) and then stand up and suddenly is 6’1 ITS SO UNFAIR TO BE 80% LEGS
Certified kitty lover! Share the same box and coughing up hairballs is so kitty love. Cats are by nature both social and personal creatures. Unlike canines, they aren’t pack animals but they do like to groom each other, they normally just like to ef off at the end of it. He’s literally saying he wants cohabitation (a thing literally no cat does lightly) and since they would be sharing one territory (tigers are more territorial), they would also share a litter box! Quite literally merging scents! Cats that don’t have a really good connection usually won’t share a litter AT ALL because the smell literally says “stay away this is mine” when they dislike each other. This is so nuanced it’s great! Also double meanings are fun!
Literally Ty for this I loveee the added layers
Ngl I wrote this for me cause I’m such a cat mom and I love learning about the ways cats communicate so I can be a better mom but I’m glad it was good for others to read too!
You could stay glued to him and become his backpack? Guide him as an oxygen tank. It’s not that it’s going to be worse for him or dangerous for him, it’s just that you’re gonna have to tag along for everything and be literally on him at all times so you’re able to give contact radiation at a pin drop. The esper just needs to protect you as he would a limb of his own body. It’s kinda romantic if you see yourself as an extension of him like how male creatures sometimes become a part of the female creature and they stay together until they die as one unit.
FR... Like please
But the ML hates him? And the ML and MC have now a situation where staying together is not an option. You know when they are together there's mixed feelings.
Yeaa that's also true... I forgot that MC told ML that he'd leave him if he forgot about him, and now that MC knows their imprinted, he's probably still gonna remove the imprint by doing some dumb shi and imprinting on someone else with the same ranking as ML which doesn't make much sense in my opinion. Like, if imprinting with ML was such a dangerous thing (being ML's weakness), then it wouldn't make much difference if he imprinted with another person with the same rank as ML. I get the feeling I know who MC is gonna try and imprint with tbh
Also also, I don't think ML ever truly hated MC. I just think that after all he's been through, it's just harder for him in some way to show his feelings, or admit that he likes someone y'know?
Yeah, but our MC definitely thinks it's the other way around so he'll definitely do some dumb shts than to approach ML
According to ML's flashback during the session with mind reader esper, I don't think he hated him. He is like denying or hiding his feeling because he is afraid that MC will end like his loved ones. Plus there's no way he will ask him 4 hrs guiding session everyday when he is S rank if he hate him
I so knew it was coming and I hated every single microsecond of it. Why didn’t a single one of those people trip the bastard up? Just stick your foot out. That’s all that needed to happen but no. Now my baby that I hated at the beginning and now love with all my heart and soul is bleeding from either his head or his eye and I’m crying cause I gotta wait another week for an update ╥﹏╥
He’s fighting for his life rn
