#i am a whr for healthy relationship dynamics

Alright I need talk about this:

Consent is such a big deal to Lian. Not only does he check in with Kuea multiple times when things start to get intense.

Every time Kuea hesitates he stops, and makes sure he has renewed consent before going any further

He makes it clear that Kuea is safe and he can stop anytime. None of that “you can’t change your mind” nonsense.

After the kitchen scene, he waited for Kuea to initiate before kissing him again.

Remember the CCTV thing? Lian realizing that he didn’t think through the fact that Kuea didn’t know about the cameras and there is a consent issue there. Especially when the shirt comes off and he fixes it immediately.

When Kuea finally tells him what he needs, (to hear how Lian feels) he responds immediately with zero hesitation or deflection.

Communication is so important to our boy Lian and I am sohere for this character.
