[forcebookish]

topmew scenes seem "off" or "unnerving" for three reasons: y'all were looking for a flaw so you wouldn't have to have complicated feelings about their breakup lol, you cherry-pick scenes to find fault in like when top literally got dumped or they were fighting, and finally because mew is afraid to fall in love.

mew is expecting to be let down, mew is looking for a flaw, mew is holding himself back. he's controlling himself and the relationship, he's not controlling top. for the most part, mew keeps it playful and flirty because anything deeper terrifies him. he's afraid of his own feelings. he's afraid to be "so into" top: snoop his ig, check his messages, want him all for himself, to be heartbroken, listen to ink waruntorn's music and cry alone in his room every day. that's not to say that he fell in love on accident (they were dating omg what do u think the point of dating is), he was just more cautious.

and anyone who has "pointed out" that they're "unromantic" have very obvious ulterior motives: discredit forcebook's chemistry and make themself look smarter than the writers. because it's simply not true. they are tender, they are thoughtful of each other's feelings, they have fun together, and they enjoy each other's presence. topmew have a romance, it's just a different kind of romance than your typical BL. they have a normal relationship where both of them bring in their own baggage and they fall in love because and in spite of it.

the point is that they're just boyfriends. i understand that it's different from other BLs, because they're based on real people. whoever heard of a BL where the main character meets the love of his life through a friend and they just start dating right away? no one. but in real life? it's as common as the cold. it's not meant to be more complicated than that - it's the intertwined friendships between all the other characters that make it complicated.

it's literally spelled out for us that the series is about three couples with completely differently defined relationships that progress differently, and that love and heartbreak are two sides of the same coin. mew himself tells you that in the first episode. that's it. p'jojo himself has said there's no moral to the story. no one's "trying to say something" more than tell the story of these dumb boys falling in love and fucking up and trying to work through their relationships. it's about what you do when those complications arise: do you choose love or hate?

come on, it's really not that deep!!!
