For the record, to the sort-of-triggered anon, if I don't like some kind of kink and it is clearly marked, I don't read it. Or if it isn't clearly marked and I'm reading and it starts going a way that I don't like, I just stop reading and go distract myself. I don't go and play moral police with the person who wrote it. It's not my job.

These things are, repeat after me, FICTIONAL. It's not as if they're plastered on some news site and claiming to be true.

As a mostly straight female and only child, from the ages of about 8 to 14 there was a good amount of experimentation of some stuff with a first cousin who was kind of like a brother, we were very close. Neither of us had siblings and therefore we experimented with each other, but if we had had siblings or close friends of the opposite gender (we were both straight) we probably would have experimented with them. Neither of us is mentally ill or in unhealthy relationships as a result of what we did in our pre-adolescent and adolescent years. We're healthy, well-functioning adults, we have friends, normal jobs and normal hobbies. Not to say we haven't experienced hardships or poor mental states like most people do in their lifetimes, just none of them had anything to do with our horny shenanigans from like 10 years before.

This is for everyone out there, but if you're curious what kind of sexual behaviours are normal or not normal for children and young people up to the age of 17, search "Brook Traffic Light Tool". This is a tool often used by social workers and other professionals to identify and risk assess different sexual behaviours in children and young people under 18. If you're too lazy to search, an example of the tool can be found here.

Incest could be considered a red flag behaviour in a person who is aged 13-17, but nowhere has it been specified that shittybrother!Gyu is underage, if we had to get technical. And even if he were written as underage - don't like, don't read. It's FICTIONAL.

Also babe, I'm sorry that you're not feeling well! I hope you feel better soon 😙 I can make you some nice soup to make you feel better 💕

i've already told you this, but it's worth repeating over and over and over again—i really appreciate your openness and honesty, and also the fact that you've gone out of your way to share an actually useful resource with us all💕 soup would be lovely, but i don't think it would survive the trip here, and talking to you is enough to make me feel loads better anyways💕💕💕 (me being under the weather isn't even that big a deal, i just have a trashfire for an immune system 😂)

also, re: brother!Gyu, i've been deliberately keeping ages vague just to make reader easier to identify with (because so much other stuff is being specified 😭). i've definitely been writing both versions of him (younger and older) thinking that he and reader are both in the range of 18-25, mainly because i figured that roughly-college-age is a nice place where they're simultaneously young enough to have very bad ideas and old enough to have the freedom to actually follow through with them; any younger, and the stuff they get away with makes less sense, but any older, and the whole shitty-skater-dirtbag-in-a-garage-band deal that Gyu has going on just doesn't work. this certainly isn't to save us from a 'red light' situation, though; i'm a little too soft to write them as toxic as they could/should be, but reader and Gyu wouldn't have a healthy relationship no matter when they started fucking. 😂

exploring the ethics and ramifications of people owning actual sentient beings as pets is not a thing i am interested in or equipped to do, hybrid aus are just a fun porn setting to get weird in for me. but i cannot have write in any universe, even a fun silly smutty one, without a consistent internal logic.

we’re going with the softest of soft sci-fi explanations here—hybrids are ‘creatures’ made from human dna spliced with the dna of various other animals. it probably started out as a “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think whether they should” kinda thing, but then once you have actual catboys and cowgirls, it’s only a matter of time before someone looks at them with dollar signs in their fucking eyes.

whatever animal they have visible features of (bunny ears, puppy tails, snake scales, feathers) is the species they’re marketed as and the one making up most of their non-human dna, but we also pull some jurassic park bullshit where the dna of various other species is spliced in as like. filler or whatever (this explains how hybrids of non-ruminant species can go into a rut or how literally every species can go into heat, and also how hybrids like funky lil pig-bunny Changbin can exist).

there’s a lot of debate about whether things like ruts/heats/mating cycles are a bug or a feature—the actual science behind splicing hybrids is pretty obscure, with a lot of specifics locked away from the public as “trade secrets.” regardless of the original intent and limitations when the first few generations of hybrids were created, they’re definitely now a feature.
