The day I’d let him go, he’d hesitated. I’d left the doors open and him unchained, then had gone about my way. I’d never imagined he would still be there, standing at the door like a beautiful caged bird who didn’t know he was free.
I’d never expected how much I’d deprived him could be so effective.

~ Okay wtf, ofc he thinks it's a trap and would hesitate to leave

I'm just nostalgic for STCTSG 3
This shit is shit

I never forced him. I never even initiated the act. He’d come to me, begging, seeking comfort, and welcoming touch wherever he could get it. The word no or stop had never graced his lips.

~ Not a grey area with consent. He was isolated physically, deprived of his senses and any contact with anyone else, and psychologically manipulated to depend on Duncan... this is NOT consent and he WAS raped...

Okay I know no one will understand the reference but 15 years ago reads exactly like the 10th arc in Strategy to Capture that Scum Gong. IT'S A CRAZY PULL BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN I READ THE "WHITE TORTURE" TW!! That arc lives rent free in my head as the most disgusting / distressing thing I have ever read, and that says something cuz WOUND FUCKING FIC!!

"physical assault of a parent, homophobia"

~ What does that even mean in the context of this book 😭

"Huh I wonder what white torture means in the trigger warnings"

Wikipedia: White torture, often referred to as white room torture, is a type of psychological torture technique aimed at complete sensory deprivation and isolation.

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO FUCKED, my least fav torture method to read on page :(
Anyway I'm still gonna read this book but now with slight sadness

NO ONE QUESTION ME
