The moment Song went from "I want to f*ck this man and never see him again" to "I want to protect and cherish this man for the rest of my days"

This is the night of their first meeting during the apology date!

Also I can't help but wonder: is that the same dress Song was wearing in Patch Job? Is it the same night or is it just a coincidence?

Uh uh a little bit of Mansa's past! Even if it is really sad😢💔

Where is this picture placed in the plot line? Is this during their first meeting which ended in a fight, or during their follow-up date when Mansa looked up Song to apologize? Or is it later?

That’s way funnier than what popped into my head when reading your comment. Best I got was “Limi lovers” and the general “Limis” for short. Gate crashers is way better!

I may just be slap happy from working for so long, but that would also support what I think would be a hysterical slang term, "gate crashers."

Follow-up on my earlier suggestion for a word for this identity. Liminis amatores would be lovers of (the) threshold (as a reference to crossing through the Gates of Hell). Lovers probably makes more sense than my original suggestion of love of threshold. Plural would be liminum but singular would let it specifically reference *the* Gates of Hell.

I'm so sorry you have to hide your identity from your family. I'm glad you're happier now where you are. 💙

They definitely did! Song was 19, about to be 20 here and 28 when he ran, and mansa is 5 years older than him

As someone hiding their identity in more than one way from their mostly Southern Baptist and pretty homophobic family, this one got me. I can't handle isolation, or what would certainly happen if they knew the truth, so I just moved away so I can have more happiness and freedom where I am now, and just withhold information and lie a bit as needed when I visit. Thank you for this closer look into Mansa! The art as always is beautiful. 💜

Oh their beautiful little baby faces. How old were they when they met vs when Song ran? They really had to grow up together didn’t they

I love how this is that universal thing that young people do—stay up late into the night and share deep truths.

What about something that evokes crossing a threshold, like going through the Gates of Hell - an infernal crossing to Earth just as much as a human crossing to Hell? Amor liminis would be love of thresholds in Latin. That feels like words that could elide into a portmanteau.

Infernalist?

"I traded my family for my identity"- oof 😣 going through the same thing and this hits right in the gut. I feel for him, it is not an easy thing to go through

There are two words that come to mind. "Nether"- infernal comes from the latin word low/hell and nether has the same meanings. "Thrall"- gives the connotation that an infernal has used magic to bewitch them. Maybe these help to give some ideas/ inspiration 😊

OMG look at them babies!! Is that song with short hair??? So cute!!
Michelle Garcia

So both Mansa and Song had a thing for the other race before meeting each other? In this world, is this actually rare, or just very hidden like queer sexualities in the past?

It’s definitely a stand in for sexuality identity and orientation 💕

OH MY GOD THEY’RE BABIES. Song’s hair is SO CUTE, I want to pinch Mansa’s cheeks, and their expressions are so frickin tender 🥺❤️
Ash S.
2021-08-11 22:00:05 +0000 UTC
So a human who's attracted to Infernals is an identity like any sexuality we have. That's such a cool idea, I wonder how Song would identify?

Sweet baby faces I can’t!!!!! Oh Song… I’m glad his honesty led you to knowing you could love and trust him from the start ❤️❤️❤️

Daniela Costa

I haven’t come up with a word for it yet (suggestions welcome!) but I also just have identity written because Mansa has a hard time referring to himself as that term/freely taking pride in that identity at this point!
Whiteley Foster
2021-08-11 21:51:03 +0000 UTC
OH MY GOD. This page just knocked me off my feet. I know what you feel, Mansa.

Aw! That’s so sad he felt he had to chose. Question: Mansa says his “identity” presumably meaning the fact that he’s attracted to infernals, not humans, but is there a term for that in their world?

Mansa has brothers??? but ohhhh that's why the bean went into the military 😭 no wonder his family also isn't really around for him. I'd hope his grandmothers would be proud of him anyways 💕

*slams table* I LOVE MANSA SO MUCH. Im so happy Mansa decided to not hide who he is even at the cost of his family. It had to hurt to bad but he made the right choice.
