the literal god of death materializing in front of Casiopea and ordering her to go on a trip with him and her being like “a TRIP? ugh do I really have to go” is the most introverted-person reply i’ve ever seen

ah yes, that stage of any we-don’t-vibe-to-maybe-lovers trope where one of them tries to be nice or even flirty but instead it comes out like this
“I dreamed about you.”
- hun-kamé, the god of death who never dreams, to casiopea
- hun-kamé, the god of death who never dreams, to casiopea
the..... yearning..... in this book......
he brushed her lips.... with his fingers..... to magically heal the cuts there........... just kiss please.... i am in so much pain
this moment between hun-kamé and casiopea obliterated me...... please I just want them to be safe and happy together but it seems more unlikely with every page and I am so scared https://twitter.com/proyearner/status/1308863574526357509">https://twitter.com/proyearne...
oh. oh no. not the “villain finds out they’re longing for each other and promptly plans to take advantage of that” trope.......... fuck
i can’t remember the last time I read a story with this much unceasing onslaught of sharp, agonizing yearning...... i am going to COMBUST

i am fucking DISTRAUGHT
i am fucking DISTRAUGHT

the sexual tension between hun-kamé and shedding his godhood to live as a mortal with the object of his desire whom he asks for a new name

I really can’t handle the sheer power and breadth of YEARNING in this book..... I am not strong enough.....
the author just HAD to sprinkle in a little “you and me against the world” as if the yearning isn’t AGONIZING enough
I can’t stop seeing this scene in my mind’s eye, and there are no words to put around the sheer ache lancing through my heart
// SPOILER //
i am but a shell of my former self.... i will never recover from this
