the beauty of aroaces characters that have SO MUCH love, that irradiates care on they own special way, that love the people around them SO SO SO MUCH that they can't barely say a word about it-

I know we’ve all talked about the callbacks to the tragic greek myth of orpheus and eurydice in relation to charles and edwin but just think of the callbacks to the more ancient and tragic myth of dean and castiel

Something about all the JJK endings beings snippets of a slice of life, of the characters just living and enjoying their time with each other doing regular teenage things. Just them living in a world where for a moment nothing terrible has happened yet and they can just be kids. It's just so.......god

Why don't you just kill me? It'd be easier.

JJK endings are liminal spaces the opening can change to reflect the terror, we can watch the most devastating moments of their lives unfurl on screen but the ending will always play and those kids there will go about their lives untouched by all the tragedy.

What's the difference between a BL and a queer drama?

Easy!!

BL's has intentional focus on a love story between to males and it can vary in genre. It can go from typical romance soaps with cliché plotlines and sappy confessions, to intense thrillers and murder mysteries.

Queers drama may include romance but it isn't the main point. It highlights queer experiences and emotions such as family dynamics, coming out, life stories, forming bonds, etc. It also understands queer identity as more complex, which is why characters may diverge from the cis homosexual.

Now LISTEN TO ME... BL can show actual queer dynamics the same way a kdrama about a girl who falls in love with a rich CEO can slip on some important commentary on women experiences or even class disparity. One is nOt inherently better than the other. Calling something a BL doesn't make the way it talks about the importance of found family and building a support system not based on kin less valuable. Especially now that more queer people are getting involved in it. But we must remember BL has it's origins in fantasies (not necessarily sexual) so that's the way it's gonna lean. Yes people, history and tradition of literary and cinematic currents and genres IS important when defining it.

Here are some shows that are BL

2gether - University drama

Jack and Joker - crime

On Cloud Nine - supernatural

609 Bedtime story- sci-fi

'till the world ends - apocalyptic

This love doesn't have long beans- cooking

Bad Guy my Boss - CEO x secretary

Here are some shows that (according to me) are queer dramas

Shadow - supernatural mystery

180 longitude passes through us - family drama

Love in the big city - anthology (kinda?)

More than words - dealing with the norm

1626 - coming of age

Right time right you - drama

I understand that the lines may be blurred sometimes but it's mainly because people are using BL as a trampoline to get to a wider audience but in reality are not producing strictly BL stories.

The point in knowing the difference is just so that you know what you might or might not get with each one, and it's NOT THE QUALITY or the director.

180 degree longitude and 7 days before valentine were directed by the same person but one is BL and one is a Queer drama.

(I didn't include queer drama focusing on Trans, lesbian, asexual experiences bc the point here is to make a comparison and those are least likely to be compared)

You are allowed to disagree with me

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

do you think gojo sent the first years on the mission with disposable cameras to go "scout" for curses or something but secretly just to take pretty pictures and enjoy their day and have fun because nobody can take away their youth in the season 2 ending song?

Did we fail at being human, or is this how humans are meant to be? Always suffering, aching, burning, rushing, hating, downgrading everyone from the status of humanity except themselves.

Hello!! I’ve read your cruel bloodline darling and I gotta say it’s my fav thing so far! The idea of the Y/N’s only acting cruel and mean when it comes to the Joestars really interested me.

But, what if there’s a reason why they’re like that? What if there’s a curse that’s keeping them from loving them. This curse was there ever since the first Y/N, and none of the members of the family are safe from it.

If a Joestar falls in love with them, their time becomes limited. They’ll slowly start to rot until they’re no longer a person, just an empty shell. So, in order to ‘protect’ the Joestars, the Y/Ns treated them horribly so they don’t experience the pain of losing them.

But this is just a silly lil thought:33 Keep up the amazing work, don’t push yourself too much!!! <3333

an ask that expands the cruel bloodline concept.

Hello dear anon, really glad that you loved it!

As of your concept, I find it quite interesting how you put more depth to darling's personality as they are more than just a harsh face and mean actions (while I myself didn't think more of their character when I worked on that piece). the worst about darling's 'love life' that they have to abuse the jojos to no end, swallowing their remorse and tears grudgingly so as the jojos stay alive.

Darling really doesn't know how to break the curse or show love without clawing at their beloved's. the lack of solutions forces them to choose the least terrible method : abuse, emotional or physical, but mostly emotional.

TW for physical/verbal abuse, generational trauma.

Darlings were in a peaceful world, thinking that they finally got together with their Sweethearts the joestars, but a while after a deep loving relationship, they noticed how the joestars grew numb and silent, something like they weren't at all. just as darling was trying to figure things out, a heavy anvil of a shocking revelation falls on them as their parent informs them about the curse.

Darling is in terror: 'can't I just try to love?' and they just receive a dull answer of 'if you truly love them, make sure they stay alive, just like your grandparent did'. and so, everything started.

Slowly, darling changes their treatment: kisses with wounds, love confessions with degrading and support with control. at least they were lively again- you would say, but wanting to kiss and embrace them is impossible; you're stripped of the simplest right to love.

Darling wants to say 'you're my everything' when they say 'you mean nothing to me' to Jonathan. They want to say 'please don't go' when they say 'I'm done with you' to Joseph. They want to say 'I need you' when they utter 'I don't love you' to Jotaro. They want to say 'you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen' when they say 'you're ugly' to Josuke. They want to say 'Your love saved me' when they want to say 'you're a monster' to Giorno. They want to say 'be always with me, now and forever' when they say 'you're annoying' to Jolyne'. it's an endless cycle of pain for both parts who know they can't live without the other if they left.

Thank you for the thought anon! I enjoyed adding more to it, hope I'll hear from you soon 🦋
