hating a waifubait character from a waifubait game is not misogyny, but hating a real woman for shipping gay ships is! i know it's very hard to distinguish, but the first is not a person but the second is a person.

hope this helps!

Aidan wants to join the army and end the war. However, his near-death encounter with enemy soldier Chronus awakens a power to control fire that he never knew before and complicated feelings that leaves him wondering what’s worth fighting for.

#DVpit #GN #YA #F #R #Asian #LGBT #EnemiesToLovers

Comic cover titled The Firewalker featuring two main characters: the red haired guy is pointing a spear to the black haired guy, who parries the spear with a sword. They are surrounded by fire all around. Behind them are distorted clock with a hand of the clock pointing at number 1.

A single panel that shows Chronus pointing his sword to Aidan. Underneath the panel is monologue by Aidan: "Back then, I wondered..."

Two panels showing Aidan's hesitant face and Chronus' determined face side by side. Underneath the panels is monologue by Aidan: "Why you hated me so much."

Two comic panels, the first showing Aidan's hand gripping a spear while the next is him pointing the spear at Chronus (off the frame). The monologue by Aidan reads: "But I'm not going to hesitate this time! I will stop you!"

Things had gotten even worse, with me taking care of my hospitalized mom AND our sick cat. We desperately need $500 for hospital bills, utility bills, and groceries. Any help is highly appreciated!
