“So what was it like for him to be the "follow"/"protected" for once?”

This would be a good question to ask Nick. I’m sure he’d have a thoughtful and interesting perspective on it.

RWRB Thoughts: Height Difference

Today on Meraki's rwrb thoughts because this movie and book are implanted in my brain now, we're talking about the movie size difference

Don't get me wrong, book height firstprince is adorable, but there's just something about the movie height difference that just feels so special.

The thing is, the height difference between movie firstprince, or in other words Taylor and Nick's height difference isn't that big (ok I tried to search online for the precise number but there are a bunch of different fucking answers in different units but my point still stands you can see it)

But somehow, it's so prominent when you put them two together, especially when they're holding each other.

And think about it from Henry's perspective: Henry's not small. He's taller than both his siblings and his best friend Percy. he's about the exact same height as Shaan and as much as I know they care deeply about each other, at the end of the day, that's his equerry, his employee. His grandfather is taller than him, but that's the King, so that comes with this sense of authority and intimidation. So in most cases, he's the taller one, the bigger one. The one that has to be the support, the one that has to stand on his own. (so essentially my "oldest daughter/sister" rant but when it comes to height)

But when with Alex, suddenly he's the smaller one. To the man who would fight the whole world to protect him, to make him happy, the man who he loves and who loves him more than anyone in the world. Look at how Alex holds Henry: he curls around him, almost like a shield.

"You don't need your armour anymore, I'll be here to protect you and your heart from now on."

Actually, it's not just Henry, to a less emotionally intense extent, it's Nick too: In M&G, when it comes to the guys George/Nick has physically intimate scenes with: Tony (King James) is shorter than him, Dylan (Peter Carr) is shorter than him, Laurie (Robert Carr) is about the same height, the various other men we see in montages later in the show, all shorter. He's also taller than all the girls he's played opposite of, including Anne.

If I'm correct, up till now, Taylor is Nick's only on-screen partner that's taller than him. And that affects the physical intimacy, like where hands go and how the boys are positioned. Personally, I call it a "lead/follow" pair (like in partnered dances) or a "protector/protected" pair.

(Also please note that I know that this is kind of stereotyping, people don't always follow this fixed dynamic, and these labels only apply when they do follow a fixed dynamic. And I'm also just referring to the physical dynamic, not the actual relationship dynamic)

It's something new for him: for the entirety of his career, he was the bigger one in whatever relationship he was in: the big spoon, the one who lifts his partner, the one who's holding the other's waist; the "lead/protector". So what was it like for him to be the "follow"/"protected" for once?

Marriage equality in Thailand is an awesome news and so worth celebrating. Just don’t make it about fake couples and ships please. Have some respect for real people who have struggled (and many more who still struggle) to have their rights recognized and respected by governments.

Yeah I’ve seen something, he’s kinda cute when he’s not acting even camera shy and that makes this situation even worse 😕

Anyone is following what happened to Yoon yesterday? Because that’s the description of fucked up and it’s not even fiction.

The guy was harassed during a live thing by the host of the show, the videos are disgusting to watch (I’m not gonna share them here). The company posted some kind of lame excuse to the fans and solved it by giving him a day off (which won’t solve shit, but hey they tried, right?).

Then to add more shit to the pile (and ruin said day off), they sent Yoon to apologize to his abuser like it was his fucking fault he was sexually harassed at work. He looks so uncomfortable in the video, won’t look her in the eyes, keeps his distance as much as he can… it’s painful to watch.

I’M SO FUCKING MAD!! She pulled the age card like that makes it okay 🤦🏻‍♀️

Talk about victim blaming… and the company that should help him and protect him sent him right back into the shark tank. Thank you very much 😡

I don’t know about the other things, but this had me raging. People are saying is a cultural thing, that he HAD to apologize because she’s older and in the business and he’s young and blah blah blah… what I saw was a scared kid doing what he was forced to do. I saw that they could have paused the live when she started being disrespectful, maybe have her calm down and go live again. Or they could have just dropped the whole thing to protect a clearly uncomfortable Yoon. I don’t know… i just hope he doesn’t have to work with her anymore ever.
