OK ITS 4AM AS OF WRITING THIS BUT I NEED TO JOT THIS DOWN BECAUSE I JUST HAD A FUCKING LIGHT BULB MOMENT
!!EXTREME SPOILERS FOR JAMBOUND!! IF YOU HAVENT READ IT OR HAVENT CAUGHT UP IN A WHILE, GO DO THAT!!!! THE FINAL CHAPTER JUST DROPPED, AND IT IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!!!!
Okok, now with that out of the way, I’m just going to get straight to the point:
The bond is a metaphor for sex.
“No shit Sherlock, they made that pretty obvious.” I hear you saying, but more specifically:
The bond is a metaphor for relationships that are made and hinge ENTIRELY ON sex.
I mean, just think about it
To start us off, let’s list off some of the basics on how the bond functions:
- they can’t stray too far from one another
- they cant go too long without “connecting” with one another, and if they don’t there’s physical strain/side effects (I hope I don’t need to explain this one)
- after “connecting” with one another………..to put it frankly, they act like they just fucked. There’s no other way to put it-
and most importantly: -when under the influence of the bond, they both fall madly in love with each other. Especially Pure Vanilla.
Now, time to get down to business:
In chapters 22-26 (I know those are scary to think about, but don’t worry, I’ll hold your hand) Shadow Milk is scared to break the bond in fear that what he and PV have wasn’t real and was all just a part of the “bond” (aka, he’s scared that their relationship will be nothing without their little bedroom tangos) but PV wants to break the bond to make sure that what they have is real. (Aka, he wants to take a break from “bonding” and see if they actually have feelings for one another rather than just what they have in bed) and to my and everyone else’s collective relief, they do!
Now, in the final chapter, chapter 32, (again, GO READ IT IF YOU HAVENT YET AND THEN COME BACK) Shadow Milk finds that he feels a strange feeling in his jam. Not the pulling and longing feeling of the “bond” but something else. When he asks PV about it, PV suggests that they try “connecting” again. When they do, they have a dream about SM trying to find PV in a flock of a bunch of other sheep, and resting together when they finally are reunited. (Aka, Shadow Milk has finally found his soulmate in the crowd of thousands of other cookies on earthbread) and when SM wakes up, it doesn’t feel like the aftermath of a “bond”, it simply feels nice, Like he just took a nice nap or something.
There’s no pull or need in their bond anymore. It’s now simply something they can do for funsies sometimes, and not something their relationship entirely depends on.
So what’s the moral of the story? don’t start a relationship sheerly because you want to have a nice time in bed.
That’s a prolonged hookup, not a relationship.
Oh yeah, also that Yaoi is fucking awesome, that too.
