Iām obsessed with the fact that Lovely Writer has a dark plot and manipulative male lead, but itās not clear to Gene or the audience because everything about Nubsib is so pink and sparkly. Heās the definition ofĀ āyou can catch more flies with honey than with vinegarā. He doesnāt need to force Gene or be aggressive because heās so good at playing the wolf in sheepās clothing that he can make Gene do whatever he wants.
It feels like meta commentary on how the male leads of most BL dramas often have these traits but we as viewers donāt notice or even care because of sound affects and pretty lighting.
Nubsib tricked his way into Geneās home within a week of meeting him.
Nubsib knew that Gene likes a mountain of jam on his toast. How did he know that?
Nubsib tricked Gene into doing everything he wanted him to do and was so good at it that he made Gene think it was his own idea, like the kiss.
Gene isnāt the slightest bit aware of Nubsibās manipulativeness because Gene is too naive and because Nubsib playsĀ āinnocentā very well. But heās obviously anything but.
The things they show us are mere personas to play their characters in this supposedly perfect world. Problems occur when fans refuse acknowledge the reality of what these actors are & what they really aren't. We're not Alice in wonderland. Just like them, let's be professionals.ā„ļøššš¤
