the “this character is insufferable” to “this character is literally me” pipeline strikes again

teh being so (please, hurry, leave me, i can’t breathe, please don’t say you love me) (i bend to the punch, then pretend that i’m fine when really i’m crushed) (i don’t like being left alone in a room with all its opinions about the things i’ve done, so yeah i blast music loud, and i work myself to the bone).

and oh aew being so (i wonder how i got by this week, i only touched you once) (you looked back at me once, but i looked back two times) (you’ll push me and i will push you back, so come and look me in the eye).

both of them being so (i would lose my decadence, i’d do away with all the dirtiness for your love) (it would be a hundred times easier if we were young again) (you’re so lovely, when you cry it hurts me, you’re the only person left, so hold me, don’t leave me) (stay with me, hold my hand, there’s no need to be brave) (lie so sweet until i believe that it’s only been me to touch you) (i’ll follow you into the dark, no blinding light or tunnels to gates of white, just our hands clasped so tight) (i’m going crazy in love for you, i’m going down like a stone in the sea) (all i ask is if this is my last night with you, hold me like i’m more than just a friend).

you get it and you agree.

HI! Numbers 12 and 13 for the bl ask game!

Hi- Thanks for the ask!!

12. most rewatched bl ~ this one’s a tad hard since there’s more than one…

If you mean since I started watching BL then it’s UWMA but if it’s based on recent shows then it’s a tie ~ Between Us and Semantic Error

13. bl you think is overrated~

I told the sunset about you… I have not been able to watch all of this one and I doubt I ever will!!!

Which BL couple had the best story arc from Season 1 to Season 2?

I legit had to give up on TharnType half-way through season 2. I regret seeing part 2 of 2gether. I refuse to watch the Together With Me sequel. (It's been too long to see that MaxTul storyline again. There's no way it's not problematique.) I barely made it through part 1 of I Told the Sunset About You and SOTUS. And Dark Blue Kiss and Between Us (below) did not stick the landing as spinoff shows.

Gameboys 2 (below) and To My Star 2 (top), however, knocked it out of the fucking park. Give them all the awards.

Fingers crossed the Cherry Magic movie sequel still captures their vibe. I've been anxiously avoiding it. 🙃

Oh-Aew: Don't give what's mine to others

I told the sunset about you so far is VERY sapphic coded like I can't explain it

Maybe it's the fact that they were childhood bestfriends that had a messy fight and stopped talking which is a very universal sapphic experience I feel

I’m genuinely surprised by viewers who seem upset over the plotline of I Promised You The Moon (season 2 of I Told the Sunset About You). It seems very naive to imagine a couple that got together in high school remained monogamous for life with no bumps in the road. In particular a gay couple that popped off to college to hang with theater majors, the gayest lot on campus. I’m not saying it can’t happen, I’m just saying I’d prefer a story about the other 98% of high school couples.

I prefer this story. Which… if you think about it… is still the story of a high school couple that sticks together so it’s still the 2%… so stop hollering, it’s still a love story.

Personally the idea of having only been with one person my entire life sounds like a fate worse than death, but I’m a pragmatic romantic.

In the realm of this story, we are dealing with two young men who are very much in love. So yeah, it hurts a bit to see one of our boys straying - but within the context of the story it makes perfect sense. They’re both growing up and figuring out who they are as adults. There is tension in their relationship and a lot of push and pull. And our cheater is true to his character in the first season - always the slowest to digest his emotions, worried, impulsive, pondering “what if,” and a bit shameless with his ability to hurt others while he shuffles through his internal processes.

I dunno. But I do know that I would not enjoy a drama genre that did not offer me variety in how couples are portrayed. We need the bl stories about cheaters. If you think about it, they’re both cheaters - I mean in season one our little sassy sweetheart spent months separating his crush from his girlfriend. Ya dig?

I like that their relationship wasn’t perfect. I like that they made a mess and still managed to find each other again. I still hope they make the 3rd season, as I believe this is an intended trilogy. And whatever mess they throw at this pair in that season - I want to see it. Even if it’s an end to their relationship. Even if it’s an end to their friendship. Even if there’s a death. I’m invested in their story, I wanna know.

They had a bit of a chance encounter on a day where Blueblood was dealing with something that was very difficult and was so caught up in his emotions he didn’t even care that he was in the garden getting grass stans on his coat and Ditzy, with her natural impulse to cheer ponies up, didn’t even notice or care that she was flying into the palace gardens when she saw someone sat in the rain.

At first he was definitely going to call the castle guards to come apprehend this strange filly with the odd eyes who was intruding when this was the last moment he’d want to entertain any desperate debutantes, however she surprised him by not fawning or anything, not even caring about his status, just putting one of her fluffy wings up and asking if he needed somepony to lend an ear.

“Don’t let my eyes fool you, my ears work just fine!”

She was incredibly disarming and while he didn’t reveal everything about why he was upset, he found himself talking about his feelings to her. And she made such cheerful remarks, and was very comforting. In the end, he felt better and she came to check on him the next day, even sharing a blueberry muffin with him. He remarked that he’d never seen her around before, and that he wouldn’t mind terribly seeing her more often.

The rest, as they say, is history.

When these two combine, it’s like two people using force against each other’s hearts, which means ‘Sad’.

A Must Read

So glad @waitmyturtles brought my attention to this Teen Vogue article about purity culture. This is the start to a very good conversation about queer sex on screen, and as your resident “writing academic papers about sex in Only Friends” enthusiast I say everyone who watches queer media and BLs specifically should read this.

Hi my love 💜

For the bl ask game I would love to hear your answers to number 13 and 14 😊

Have a wonderful day!

Hi - 💙 - Hope you're having a great day!!

13. bl you think is overrated – I Told Sunset About You (honestly - I love some of the gifs I’ve seen but I actually can’t stand one of the leads so, I haven’t been able to watch this one)

14. BL you think is underrated – Cherry Magic ~ I just watched the movie and remembered why I love this one...I can't believe some of the people I've talked to lately hasn't seen the series.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄

Sex is great and all, but have you ever watched a scene with so much tension that your soul left your body?

Like Togawa's thumb in Nozue's mouth?

Or Teh smelling Oh-aew?

Perhaps Ritsu giving Masumi some water?

Maybe Mangkorn commanding Yai to kneel and not speak?

Possibly Vegas sniffing Pete while forcing Pete to talk to his grandmother?

When Tan leaned into Bun and asked him this?

Did Li Cheng licking Mu Ren's lips finally do it?

Or is your soul intact and still very much tethered to your body?

i was today years old when i realized that the orange blobs on this shirt pat wears for a good part of episode 6...

... are flowers (and rocks)...

... and not, as i fully believed, many tiny flying pomeranians. for your convenience i've prepared a visual to argue the validity of my interpretation
