Experience Tumblr like never before
Okay first of all I love Cat King, queer icon fr but also it’s driving me insane that he gave Edwin a lily because aren’t lilies like super poisonous to cats lol and it’s driving me bonkers actually,, idk it just won’t leave my brain cat king my dude don’t give ur crush poison please (I know lilies aren’t poison to Edwin but stiLL)
(I actually really loved their goodbye but I also did experience fear for a moment, straight up thought cat king was about to perish)
Idk if anyone else noticed this or cares but I Do.

The Cat King did not sexually harass Edwin. I'm tired of seeing this bullshit.
He only offered to sleep with him once and as soon as he saw that Edwin was uncomfortable, he offered him another task.
Yes, he continued to flirt with him the other 2 times he saw her, but at no time did he try to force Edwin to do something he didn't want to do. That's all the difference.
And also, for the thousandth time, Edwin was clearly in crush on the Cat King in return. He enjoyed all the flirting and interest the Cat King gave him. Not only that but it was positive for his development.
So please, people stop talking about this bullshit.
I also saw someone say that the Cat King acted like a predator towards Edwin... But in what way ?
Because he asked him to sleep with him ? Do you know that sexual proposition does not necessarily equal predatory ?
Because he put a spell on him ? Punishment for Edwin doing the same thing to one of his cats.
That he had him watched ? Well he literally gave him a task / punishment to accomplish in his own town. Logically, he therefore keeps an eye on Edwin.
Whether people liked it or not, but Edwin liked the Cat King and was attracted to him. He was not traumatized by him. He's not afraid of him. He appreciated all the flirting and interest that was shown in him. And the Cat King didn't force him to do anything at all. He didn't even try. The complete opposite of the behavior of a predator and a sexual harasser.
Frankly, it's getting ridiculous. It's okay to dislike the Cat King and the Catwin relationship, but stop trying to turn it into something it's not.
What are you so afraid of ? Edwin will probably end up with Charles anyway.
But I imagine that what once again drives these people crazy is precisely the fact that canonically, whether they liked it or not, Edwin had a crush on the Cat King and appreciated his attentions, without experiencing / feeling them like attacks, which they obviously were not, as I said in many others posts...

These are two of my favorite catwin fics. The first is about Edwin wanting to learn to self defense so he goes to the cat king to she if he can teach him. The second is about Edwin pretending to be the cat king to trick two people that have come to speak to him. The second is a locked fic, that is why there is no link.
