approached Otto to ask if he could write a short note telling their son to commit more hours to the gym. Their son had been a huge fan of his astrophysics videos, except they’d said he was fat and lazy.
wait, so his parents knew the internet personality he was obsessed with lived in the same town... and it wasn't significant? the protagonist doesn't really talk about that either? it's just not a surprise to anyone? is this world literally just the fever dream of an anxious fatty, or is it smaller than a thimble?
Otto hit the button to power down Caulin’s bike, his hands shaking with rage. “No.” Del gasped. “Why did you stop the bike? He needs more exercise—” “No, he fucking doesn’t,” Otto growled,
everyone needs a little exercise and this dude can barely climb the front steps of the college without collapsing. you can't fight fatphobia by plugging your ears and saying, "nuh uh"
he traced the scent gland on his wrist down Caulin’s cheek, trying to show how much he wanted this omega.
why does he keep rubbing it all over this dude's fucking head bro. this is exactly the type of shit you act out if you can't picture it well so you don't write things like a guy rubbing his wrists on someone's face and over their hair as, like. sexy and romantic.
“Mine,” Otto growled. “Professor,” Caulin squeaked. “I have a name. Use it.” Caulin’s flush grew deeper. “O-Otto.” That made Caulin feel absolutely like his. “Good boy.”
it's like there's a checklist for every conversation, and we can't move on to the next in the assembly line until we've ticked all the boxes
“I assume you’re not ready for me to see you naked,” Otto murmured. “Oh, gods.” Caulin shook his head fervently.
you have???? he was nude when you slapped him right on the booty hole. and that was a day before you boinked. "sex first, intimacy later" can be written very sweetly, but not this one. not this one.
“I can—I can postpone the—the observatory visit.” “No! No, I can take a suppressant.”
omg. we're not going on a science date while we're in heat. where are the actual adults in this world. I was gonna end on that petty note but actually, this is so egregious. it's one thing to realize you're starting your heat when you're already on the trip, because you're already there, you're committed to your environment, and now you're stranded. it's one thing to kind of start feeling heat symptoms before you go and mistake them for nerves/butterflies/etc as a bit of audience foreshadowing. but for grown men to decide PREEMPTIVELY to go out and about when one of them will be going into heat is just stunningly appalling behavior
He straightened Caulin up, reached under his ass, and scooped him off his feet. Caulin yelped and flailed.
what kind of dumb fucking idiot flails around when he's being moved around naked in the shower? whoa, is this a slippery, precarious situation? let me just throw myself around as hard as possible. infant desperate to lunge out of its mother's arms and kiss the ground with its soft head type shit
“Emmy, you did not.” “I told you I found the perfect dress!” Emmy hurried back with the most blinding smile, dumping that pile of fabric onto Caulin’s lap. “And I bought it!”
you children eat fish from dumpsters. but you bought a wedding dress for your unpleasant friend and the dude who just learned his name this week? the logistics of the whole thing is also essentially impossible. i don't think the author has spent a single day on planet earth
Jones hummed. “I’ll assume you’re asking if I’ve had sex with anyone under the stars—” Caulin blushed hotly “—the answer is no. I’ve never had an omega who stuck around long enough to suggest that.”
you only fucked TWO PEOPLE, and badly enough that they had to tell people about it, before you decided to be celibate for life. that is no one's fault but yours.
He said nothing. Just scooped Caulin out of the car, bringing him to some thick blankets spread out on the grass.
as a follow up to my last note, I want the author to try and "scoop" an average ten-year-old child out of a car before telling me this dude can simply Just Do It with an adult. according to this book, the single-most fat adult on earth. toddlers can be a struggle to carry out of a car, less because of weight, and more because of the logistics of hauling a human body and all its limbs out of a crammed, rigid space. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it would neither be smooth, easy, or sexy in the slightest. be so for real.
“I’m knotted with you, aren’t I?” Jones began rubbing his wrists all over Caulin’s body,
Begging. pleading. on my knees. act this shit out before you write it. rub your wrists all over someone's head and body right now. it's actually impressive how you managed to write scent-marking in every possible way BUT romantic.
“I’m going to check you inside,” he murmured. “Hold the shirt tight around your waist. I’m out of hands.”
so he's checking to see where all his nut went and we're playing Dora the Explorer. is it in the condom? nooooo. is it on the blanket? noooo. where could the nut be? is it in this guy's asshole? let's take a closer look!
