#I really don’t see other cp’s that have a history of delivering the task assigned in Last Twilight

[maybe-boys-do-love]

Currently watching episode 7 of Last Twilight,* and I’m generally enjoying it. Aof is doing his usual fairytale thing—this time featuring an actual fairytale, too. But no offense to the Jimmy Sea fans out there—Sea’s def delivering in his blind performance, and Jimmy’s got the toughness down—but watching Day scream into his pillow made me realize how tailor-made these roles seem for Gemini (those Tinn affectations) and Fourth (the burdened angst of Li Ming), and the more obvious elements of queerness they bring. As someone who watches more for more legibile queer performances rather than hot bros kissing, Jimmy and Sea, as nice and open as they seem, just don’t deliver for me.

*the nerdy side of me is interested in how the ableist ending aligns with Aof’s broader thematic interest across his work in medical intervention relating to HIV and also his ideas about queer visibility
