take kargas deal which gives ishino what he wants but at the cost of always looking over his shoulder or call up nemeth right now and say that you’ll go to him and him alone with karga but with no restrictions on his movement since he’s coming voluntarily. I kinda hope he chooses nemeth because that’s a rich sugar daddy and karga is basically a glorified attack dog so if he ever wanted to go out somewhere, nemeth can foot the bill and karga can protect him. I know he won’t but ishino has never been the sharpest tool in this open can of worms so…
The red head tried to copy hajin for the longest time iirc and tried to become the sugar baby of aegis ceo/director to move up in the showbiz world but backed off eventually cause hajin and the director are dating and hajin felt bad or felt like he owed red so he asked director to help him get into aegis. I think he helped with a case hajin had against his former ceo/director?? Honestly it’s been so long so the details are foggy but that’s what I remember. Let me know if I’m wrong.
You are the real hero for giving us folks who are on their way to esrly dementia a rundown
Lmaoooooooo well grandma, I’ll keep reminding you until it sticks <3
He feels like a man’s man cause “his omega” is spending his money so he feels like a true provider. He’d probably be pissed off if you didn’t. Alphas don’t like feeling like they have nothing to offer especially when you can do it yourself. Makes them feel super small.
Lmao it sounds like you know a real alpha
This cracks me up
The only (A) males I know are a-holes so this is taken straight from them lmaooo rich or poor doesn’t matter when they all have the same ego #－.－)
Also I’m practically a yaoi expert at this point I basically live on this site lmaoooo
So real sis
I’m so glad the author allowed him to get revenge himself instead of making the bosses swoop in and save the day! I hope he gets to feel safe and loved soon!
I do the same damn thing lmaooooo thankfully my children love me and they don’t feel embarrassed doing kissy cuddly things but I totally manipulate them into coming to me at night to sleep on my bed or to sit next to me rather than away from me lol all cat owners know what’s up
I love those tests so much. I use stuff like that with my partners so we have a clear understanding of what the other expects and we can find a middle ground if necessary! Word of warning: only works if both partners are being honest about what they want! But it’s soooooo helpful and you can properly say yay or nay to certain things wayyy before it could happen and become a problem that breaks you up! I personally think everyone in any type of romantic or sexual relationship should take tests like this!
do u recommend any specific tests??
The BDSM test is great for sexual kinks and I usually look on Pinterest for the relationship and hobbies based stuff. It’s a lot of “this or that” questionnaires mostly but it depends on you and your own needs. Sometimes I’ll google one online for free. I think relate.org.uk does a good one but idk what country you’re in. Sorry I can’t give you specific links.
Ok, thanks for that regardless (▰˘◡˘▰)
I’m guessing his backstory is that he was an esper and was broken and rebuilt into a super guide but the original intent was probably to make a super esper so he might be really compatible with the guides of fated bonds rather than the espers but it’s far easier to brute force an esper who is unstable than a guide who is stable.
If we compare the esper and guide verse to periodic elements, espers are the ever unstable hydrogen or magnesium or sodium while guides are like fluorine or chlorine. They are almost stable. While trying to make a super super stable (helium) esper, the doctor found it easier to start from a guide base since it would be the difference of 7 to 8 instead of 1 to 8 and then he can switch the guide to an esper. At least that’s my theory of how it works. I could be completely wrong and overthinking all of this.
He actually was an esper if you remember the chapter(I forgot which one but lemme find it). And was turned into a guide as an experiment where multiple other espers died and he survived and was turned into an even more “perfection” of a guide. He says it at the end too “I was not created for espers” meaning the doctor’s experiment that only showed us him being turned into a guide from and esper has something even more hidden behind it
That’s why my theory is like this. I know he’s originally an esper and that he says he was not made for guides. From a scientific perspective, my theory is based on stability on an atomic level rather than “ah shucks well if I make a guide then I can manipulate more people!”. He’s a scientist so I’m giving a scientific reasoning and method to his supposed madness.
Yeah your theory makes a lot more sense than the others. Should we team up for detectives
Omg yes please! I gotta put my science knowledge somewhere since my job isn’t in stem XD
Thanatos is the greek God of PEACEFUL death. (Yes, the comic version is the complete opposite of the deity’s role) He does not govern murder and he doesn’t approve of it. His role is to stay in the underworld and process the deaths of people who died of “natural causes”.
Hypnos is the Greek God of sleep. He may sound weak but he’s really strong. His power influences ALL and you cannot resist it. He can make anyone fall asleep at any time. This includes comas. He can put you to sleep indefinitely which is practically death.(by human standards)
Both Thanatos and Hypnos are twins and are born from the strongest deity the Greeks had: Nyx! Both of these twins have similar powers and reside in the underworld and work alongside Hades and Persephone although those two govern it.
Nyx is the Goddess of night but she may as well be the goddess of the universe since she came before all other gods and goddesses. She was the one of the first deities to be formed and is the daughter of God of Chaos. Even Zeus, the king of Gods and the God of lightning, is scared stiff of Nyx!
Thanks for reading your local Ted X talk!
They wanted us to like him but feel like something wasn’t quite right and now we get to see the “boys will be boys” side of him where he truly is a monster both literally and figuratively. He has a saviour complex and wants to be the one to save her so he creates fantasy worlds where others abuse her and he’s her one ticket out of hell and when he realises that won’t work, he shuts it down and restarts. The whole family thing too. It’s his obsession with her. Integrating himself into her life and her surroundings so she can’t escape. Some boys actually do this. I know I’ve experienced something similar where a boy in school would incite other kids to bully me just so he can swoop in and save me despite being the one who started it all. It’s sick and twisted but it’s a call out to the “boys will be boys” culture we have rn. When he’s all “grown up”, he’s mellowed out and he’s acting like it never happened and the times he’s forced to confront his horrible actions, he looks on them fondly because to him, it was him showing affection. When we see her POV, it’s him literally abusing her and making her feel unsafe even in her own home. The fact that he’s a shapeless monster means he could be ANYONE. Him going from classmate to childhood friend to brother and eventually husband kinda goes along with that narrative that it truly is an “every man until it’s no man” problem. Even the fact that his secretary and friend warned her but then still didn’t help her escape or the fact that the cat (a creature who is depicted as having eyes that can see the whole universe) refuses to look at her and bear witness to what she’s had to go through. Even her Stockholm syndrome and the way she laughs it off and her be try clear fawn response to whenever he scares her. It’s all there for us to see. The author really did a good job of showing all of that without making it overt.
Your analysis is spot on, and you put it into words so well. I really like how the dynamics of this story are so real, especially because it started out framing itself like a lighthearted romance genre. Like the moment when he made her the enemy of humanity and men threatened to yanno her; but then he was like 'why didn't you ask me to save you?' It reminded me so much of other scenes in Rofan stories with the ML coming to the rescue of the FL. He's trying to set himself up in roles as someone the FL relies on, which I notice overlaps with common romance tropes (childhood friend, anyone?), but FL refuses to feel saved. Especially what you're talking about of him looking back on the abuse fondly, it's such a ML attitude, but unlike a lot of Rofan I read this time the story doesn't hesitate to frame the behavior as villainous. I kind of feel like this is a parody of the common Rofan dymanic of cold overpowered ML and ordinary FL, but here the power dynamics are taken to the extreme in order to demonstrate how fucked up it is.
Definitely!!! Almost all “fairytales” are remade Grimm stories made to be palatable to shape and influence young and impressionable girls to accept a certain narrative and a certain type of abuse. It’s so systematic and manipulative that not many people realise it. Same way most old nursery rhymes are actually about horrific historical events like ring-around-a-Rosie which is actually about dying to the plague. This author is on another level of showing us exactly what we are consuming and what it truly is. For lack of a better way to put it, she’s unmasking what we’ve been conditioned to romanticise. Even me at the start of this story was like “awhhh he’s a bit quirky but I actually really like him and they probably just had a rocky relationship because of his race and he’s trying to do better but NOPE. That one scene where he says something and it triggers a whole body freeze response followed by him laughing and then a fake apology and him telling her “come here” and her curled into a ball on his lap was sending shivers down my spine cause that’s EXACTLY what abuse looks like and not a single person clocked it! I’m convinced this author is a genius.
That's such a good take. I would correct you (or add on?) a bit and say that he doesn't try to, lore-wise he's for certain an eldritch god, straight up inspired by Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu. He doesn't try he just toys around with FL like some of us would with insects. Her world is so insignificant and unimportant to him that he doesn't care nor understand what it means to put her through all this trauma. Which bringing it back to your point, reflects on the pov of abusers. The "man" who doesn't understand the harm he causes.
Yeah. I did realise that he is just a typical eldritch being that simply lives life on a different playing field with different morals and different values than humans do. Just like it wouldn’t be right to assign morals to a lion killing zebra as “wrong” just because murder is wrong to humans, it’s also not right to assign morals to this eldritch being. That being said, I’m 87% sure the author is doing this as a social commentary. Someone else brought up the really good point about the parallel between this and other very common romantasy tropes like the childhood best friend, the guy who saves you from being hurt, the comforting ML and the husband who loves you so much that it overrides your amnesia and you fall in love again. It’s all common tropes but they pointed out how it’s a parody of them and showing how toxic they actually can be. I thought that was really interesting too.
I told my dad that as long as I’m paying rent, I’m not living under his rules. I’ll respect him and give him the courtesy of letting him know what’s going on but I won’t abide by curfews and nonsense when I’m an adult woman. It took him a while to get it but he understands now that he’s wayyy out of line considering he wasn’t like this to his son from his first marriage and that men can father more children in 9 months than a woman can birth so the focus shouldn’t be on young women but on young men. Also she’s had a bf before. He should know the deal. Btw I’m African and Latin and grew up in a Muslim household so while it may not be Asian, it’s pretty much the exact same thing and my dad was born in the 50s so…
soooo real, when i was 18 my parents thought me staying out at 10 was late and they know i don’t party/drink/etc or date anyone but my brother can do whatever the fuck he wants when he was younger?? pissed me off bro
I told him stories about my white British friends younger sister who dropped out of school at age 13, got pregnant at 15 and had a kid and didn’t complete her GCSEs and showed him my friends liquor cabinet which had 37 full bottles and 12 almost empty ones. Me staying in my room most of the time and going out with friends once in a while or staying over at my bfs house is nowhere near any of those issues and I’m vocally childfree with an iud. I’m the least problematic 20 something year old he knows and that’s including him if his fun story about getting crabs medication at the pharmacy is anything to go by lol just embarrass them back and let them know that they still get bragging rights to all their parent friends and get to let everyone know that their child is still a success even if they come home the next day.
