Why are these grown adults cowering to outside forces? YOURE AN ADULT! I know what it’s like living in a culture where it’s family first but this is 2025. If my family told me to leave someone both me and my child adored and I wanted to marry, I’d tell them to mind their own business and keep their nose out of MY love affairs since I don’t get involved in THEIR love affairs. It’s got nothing to do with them. It’s not even something said as concern! “please don’t cause this woman or your child pain by letting them get attached if you’re not sure you truly want a family with her.” Is fine but “leave her!” Is not. Boundaries exist for a reason and a lot of adults forget that they ARE adults. They work and pay taxes and live alone and they are capable of making their own decisions. That’s the whole point of parents. You raise your child to be able to do those things and then you let them free and hope they succeed in life and visit you often out of love and not fear. If you can’t let them free, you’re treating them worse than a dog.

The man has tattoos, scars and is very blunt and rugged. Your first and most likely only thought is usually “wow a gangster!” And his initial thought was also “scary! A gangster!” So what did he expect??
Also, as long as ahjuicy has never hurt you (outside of what you consent to), I don’t really see the reason to care. You’ve been wilfully ignorant this whole time so just maintain that. Nothing changes. You’re not married. You’re not bringing a child into the relationship. You’re glorified BDSM partners/lovers. Him being a gangster is irrelevant to his dick or his sadism.

I do think he should die. He’s killed so many guides in order to get their espers and he’s assisted in heinous crimes with his “father”. I genuinely think the world would be better without him or his father in the picture. But I do know how it feels to have a parent just not give a crap about you and that HURTS. My own mother told me she’d help me die when I was struggling with mental health. I ended up living with my dad the next day since she called the police on me and they agreed with the doctors that it was safer for me to be with my dad than a mother who didn’t care. So I do get it and I hold empathy for it but I also didn’t become a puppet to gain her love and affection and I didn’t murder anyone so it’s kinda hard to properly sympathise and empathise with someone like that.

Except for owen, nick and that kid that brought mutations up. ALL of evolution is a genetic mutation in which a living organism adapts to its surroundings to better survive. Everything is a mutation. Our own cells mutate constantly. Every single person on planet Earth has cancer but our bodies kill the cancer faster than it can reproduce because our cells are constantly mutating to better survive. White blood cells constantly adapt itself to better fight off pathogens. Our skin constantly reproduces and cycles through to better adapt to the suns rays. This is literally taught in high school science class. Also, all cells start off as non specialised stem cells and they mutate into specialised cells to perform certain tasks. Mutation is simply the changing of a structure. The fact they are debating whether or not a change in biology is a mutation or not and then debating whether or not evolution counts as a mutation? Crazy. Scientifically illiterate people. THIS IS HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE PEOPLE HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE!! THEY ARE ALL ACADEMY KIDS CAUSE THEY ARE ALL RICH KIDS!!
But I love when couples actually discuss the reality of their situation and communicate. Both of them wanted kids and knew they wanted kids. The alpha knows it’s the omegas body so it’s his choice if he carries or terminates and was supportive of it but also voiced that in a life and death situation, he’s choosing his husband over the children and acknowledged the elephant in the room that it’s something that could upset the omega. The fact that they both respected each others wishes like that was so so refreshing! I want more stories with this level of mutual respect!
