i wish there was an easier way to tell the difference between an "if it sucks hit da bricks" situation and a "sometimes being an adult means doing things that you dont wanna" situation

Why is Jin ling a fully grown man when he’s a baby

[gayanime]

polycule would've fixed them seven years ago. but at present, polycule would've made them worse.

[gayanime]

That was beautifully unhinged!

Chaotic! Over the top! Dramatic for the sake of drama!

I watched the entire last episode with a wonderful mix of awe and horror. Laughter and shock.

The presentation! He really did the presentation in the mist of all of that.

With so many great kisses, why was that last kiss a dead fish kiss? They had other really great kisses.

I need Jaemin’s origin story! Why did he take be gay do crime so seriously?

Daon. The enigma that you are. Three rings and only one that fits just right. It has to be the eyelashes that catch all the pretty boys attention.

They need to make kbls longer. Imagine the level of crazy we really could have gotten.

They really went to that cabin seven years ago and never considered poly?

Suhyeon you could have had it all. Now get some therapy. You need that and so much more.

Daon needs a boundary pusher in his life. Is it a kink?

That last scene was useless but so where many things

Secret relationships was all over the place and for that I love it. I will miss our midweek soap opera.

[gayanime]

You do, my baby, I promise! None of this is your fault! These insane unhinged men have been playing 4D chess with you for your entire adult life!

SECRET RELATIONSHIPS EP 4 - AN ANALYSIS OF THE STUPID AND THE PSYCHOPATH

The more I think about it, the more terrified I am of Jaemin.

Imagine this: you’re just living your life. Going to college, trying to escape a tumultuous family life, building new relationships, experiencing things for the first time, just making a place for yourself.

And then, one guy decides he likes you. Not in the normal way. No, he decides that you will be his. He decides that you will have no other strong relationships, no one else to turn to, that he will never leave your side but never fully be there. He just decides that.

And now? Your whole life is fucked.

Yes, some things (like Jaemin making another guy take naked photos of Daon or Su Hyeon agreeing to that ridiculous agreement) are clearly drama tropes, but the actual mind control, the real-life manipulation, that part? That’s real. We all know someone we wish we could just shake until they see clearly, until they realize they’re being played.

And all of this happens simply because one guy decides you’re the one to be owned.

Holy shit. That is such a terrifying thought.

Back to the plot - I still don’t fully understand why Jaemin dragged Su Hyeon into this mess. Let me try to break it down: Was it because total control means eliminating all external influences? Bring him in, keep him down in the trenches, and of course, use every weakness Su Hyeon has.

I think Jaemin read him like a book - even though he’s hot as hell (ugh so muchh), he’s insecure. He’s volatile, has violent tendencies, and can’t control his emotions. So Jaemin keeps him in check while simultaneously manipulating him into lashing out - so that Daon will be afraid of him. It’s a perfect plan, really.

Su Hyeon knows that Jaemin holds all the power over Daon. With just a few words, he can make Daon walk away from Su Hyeon entirely. He’s afraid, so maybe this stupid agreement is his way of trying to hold onto some kind of control over Jaemin. At least this way, Jaemin isn’t dating Daon either, so maybe there’s still a chance to create some distance between them.

Su Hyeon is already unsure of where he stands with Daon. He’s already afraid he’ll never have him, already insecure about Jaemin, already spiraling - so he agrees. Is it the stupidest thing anyone could ever do? Yes. Do I understand why he did it? Unfortunately, also yes. It was impulsive, but it was also rooted in every single one of his insecurities.

God, Su Hyeon. You could have had everything.

And honestly? Did Jaemin just want to keep Daon under his control forever, but felt dating was beneath him? Maybe he knew that if they actually dated, Daon would see the real Jaemin? Or maybe - because he’s a psychopath - he never had real feelings at all. He just had this need to possess someone, to own them completely.

I don’t know. I can’t tell what’s real with Jaemin.

But I do know one thing:

I’m absolutely fucking terrified of that motherfucker.

Going Crazy with Colors

The color of the duct tape tells me this kidnapping is the doing of our resident green monster.

Hello, sir.

However, is anyone else seeing pink on the right?

The green is obvious on the left, but am I seeing pink on the right?

Because the obvious culprit is the Green Guy since he set his plan in motion once Daon rejected him.

And he is the only one who consistently dresses is all black.

But the forum post came at the perfect time to destroy both Daon AND Su Hyeon, and Su Hyeon was being a regular blue prior to Daon disappearing, so when he appears to have no idea about the forum, it feels legit.

Like the green is always there, but the point is that his color will give him away because he doesn't try to hide his true color.

Unlike this one!

And although there is a hint of green in this scene, there is so much red when Daon entered the parking garage that we all knew he was in trouble, but who sent him there?!

Jaemin!

Like I wrote before, pink is simply a subdued red.

Su Hyeon was turning redder as Daon rejected him, but he doesn't need to win. He just wants Seong Hyeon to lose. This is why he entered into the deal with Jaemin in the first place. Nobody won.

But that's never been Jaemin's objective. It's always been him against the others hence the barrier.

And they all made wishes on that Christmas tree to stay together, but if we are going in order of how they were standing with Su Hyeon on the right, Daon in the middle, and Jaemin on the left,

Then that means the last wish about being together UNTIL DEATH DO THEM PART we see is Jaemin's, right? Or was it actually Daon's?

Jaemin was planning on leaving and tells everyone he doesn't plan to return,

But we also see snow when he is exiting his apartment.

Which, of course, is a reminder of the cabin.

Jaemin does not wear his color once in this episode.

But even our Blue Boy, with his misplaced anger, is still blue.

Once Jaemin's true color was revealed, the competition for Daon's heart was just down to two competitors — a Green Guy and a Blue Boy.

So how can Jaemin win the game for his Yellow Yal's heart when he can't even play?

Well, he can take the place of his opponents when they least expect it.

Or he can simply just end the game.

I could be clownin' and Su Hyeon could be the kidnapper which was quickly told through the green duct tape. Easy! But no matter how this goes down in the finale, the people behind the scenes of this show deserve a raise because even in that Christmas scene, Su Hyeon's pillow was pink, and Jaemin's was green.

And Christmas is the time for reds and greens, so although it's been Su Hyeon who has been living in the past, I don't think he has been the only one.

So much so, that he'd be willing to give up a future.

Jaemin, don't disappoint me. Be as crazy as the colors tell me you are.

@babyangelsky, we ride at dawn!

Poly would have saved them. The absolute amount of filthy, amazing, warm times they could have had seven years ago if those two rich assholes had once asked if Da-On would be in to it

Da-On could have been baby girl. They both loved him and it could have all been so simple if they would have talked to the man they love

Tomorrow’s episode needs to be 90 minutes

[gayanime]

@benkaben Poly could've saved them 😭

REMEMBER THAT EPISODE WHERE REESE THOUGHT MALCOLM WAS GAY AND MALCOLM THOUGHT REESE WAS GAY AND THEY TALKED ABOUT IT BUT LIKE THIS I’M CRYING

[gayanime]

The Guanyin temple confession is maybe my favorite scene of any piece of media I've ever consumed because it's so unpredictable.

You got the villain just halting his evil plot, full stop, in the middle of his gloating speech, no less, because "What do you MEAN you guys aren't even together?! What?! No, no, no, there won't be any romantic misunderstanding in my hostage situation! Honey, tell him!"

And then the calmest, most polite character alive procceeds to go his version of apeshit on this punk like "my brother like-likes you, you fucking pinecone! You useless twink! We all thought you were a hoe but you are just an imbecile!" (Which is a nice parallel to the Jiang brothers' hatred for the peacock, but I digress)

And THEN, when it's the perfect moment for a climatic love confession, homeboy goes and screams for everyone to hear that he... really wanted that dick, Hanguang-jun! Where's love? Who cares? WWX wants to ride you like a carnival ride: sticky and filthy and multiple times.

It's a wonder that Xichen didn't yank that string from Jing GuangYao to strangle WWX himself.

This has been my favorite addition, I cackled like a seal irl lol

I love finding little fun facts about the Untamed cast because the actors of the Yunmeng siblings all had other things they did before acting so it's just like:

They make me sick with sadness…

Lan Qiren opening his door: ...why are you here

Jiang Cheng holding baby Jin Ling in his arms: I heard you have experience being a cranky single man raising his nephew after your sibling dies?

Lan Qiren gesturing inside: come in. I'll teach you how to love and care about him in such a tsundere way people call you neglectful

[gayanime]

Honestly, one of the funniest things about the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is the amount of gaslighting Jiang Cheng experiences troughout it all about whether or not Mo Xuanyu is Wei Wuxian come again.

Jiang Cheng sees this dude who is playing the flute exactly like Wei Wuxian and controlling Wen Ning exactly like Wei Wuxian, and hes like "THAT'S WEI YING, HE'S FINALLY COME BACK FROM THE DEAD! I'M GONNA KILL HIM!" and everyone tells him to calm tf down and that he's paranoid (which is fair enough considering he seems to have gone on a witch hunt for demonic cultivators). But still, he wasn't wrong about Mo Xuanyu being Wei Wuxian and the fact that people dismiss him and tell him that "it's not Wei Wuxian, it's just that random gay dude who tried to make moves on Jin Guangyao" is just hilarious to me.

Because Jiang Cheng is really the only person aside from Lan Zhan who clocks that Mo Xuanyu is Wei Wuxian and that's completely understandable because Jiang Cheng grew up with Wei Wuxian, of course he would know all of Wei Wuxian's ticks and his personality to a T (I say know, but whether or not Jiang Cheng understands Wei Wuxian is another thing). Because Jiang Cheng definitely knows that only Wei Wuxian is audacious enough to say in front of everyone (who are part of a society where gay men are mockingly called 'cut-sleeves') that his type is Lan Zhan and that he would never make moves on Jiang Cheng because of it.
