#you get a whole pride ep when two leads are queer

Harlem (2021) - 2x05

[absolutebl]

Hi P'ABL. Not sure if you have answered something like this before, I couldn't find it with search, but what are your favorite "Oh" scenes? Either "Oh I'm (or he's) gay" or "Oh I'm in love with this person". Asking this question after rewatching Ep 4 of Bad Buddy and watching Qian's reaction to seeing BL novels in Zhi Yuan's room.

Light Bulb Moments in BL!

Ooooh, good question. And no I haven't answered it before. You mean specifically the viewer coming to this realization?

My Favorite: Oh HE V GAY!

Takara just looking at Amagi.

A reading K's mind in the elevator in either Cherry Magic.

The New Employee at the dinner party across the table from the boss with the two queers being like: "Us? Dating? Are you cray, we hella rainbow."

This moment in Jun & Jun:

And then the "not instantly moving away" utterly flirtatious response.

City boy finding the hot farmer's little box of Pride on the shelf in Some More

To My Star - surprise robe flashing moment (I also love Addicted's execution of this one but it doesn't count as an ah-ha moment, just a big fat tease - pun intended)

This character's admission in Nobleman Ryu's Wedding:

MinSung on that train with the earbuds in Wish You.

Solo walking into that cafe in Oxygen.

Fighter meeting Tutor in Why R U?

Step by Step at the gay club, I mean FINALLY.

I'll just call him my wife in SOTUS.

This scene in I Feel You Linger in the Air:

My Favorite: Oh I'm in love with him

Eternal Yesterday, that damn look in the rain, holly hell (the cool thing about this one is ... it's mutual)

Aoki climbing into the plastic bag in My Love Mix-Up - I mean, COME ON, how gay is that? "oh no! I'm into love with him, I am trash, must be ultra dramatic about it"

Unintentional Love Story the agony of realizing he's in love with someone he has to deceive and betray - those EYES

Mark running after the Taxi in Love is Science?

Ai's "what is going on" in Love By Chance

Pete's AH HA moment in Kiss Me Again

Pretty much most of Love Sick. It's kinda the point of the show. But you can never get away from this one:

Possibly one of the most iconic moments in all BL.

Anytime the character starts swearing and is mad at himself when he realizes he is in love: Semantic Error, The Eclipse.

Pretty much all 3 leads swapping both of these "ah ha" moments back and forth in Light On Me

Honorable mention: Someone ELSE in the story's "oh HE'S in love with him?!"

PitchBank, need I say more? (Golden Blood)

Takara's bestie just focused in on Takara's actions around Amagi for the whole day at school and then being like, "Oh I was teasing them but my friend is IN LOVE. Activate WINGMAN mode."

Are we surprised Suzuki Jin appears twice on this list?

Also no shocker this list is full of JBL, they very good at this kind of thing since a lot of it is eye work and thirst.

Will the real Kane please stand up?

S1 E7 - Tell Me the Truth Review

★★★★☆

What an episode. Where the other CW shows are kind of skirting around plot for the sake of getting ready for Crisis, Batwoman is diving head first into the story, making sure to keep you on your toes as to what’s going to happen next.

And this episode delivers, if a bit scattered on the how and what.

Truth seems to be a big thing about this show so far. Kate asked Sophie to tell her the truth about whether she loved her way back in Point Rock, and Sophie lied in order to continue her career and graduate.

Now, Kate is trying to decide if it’s worth lying to Sophie about her vigilante proclivities, though it is understandable, considering Sophie has no qualms about telling the truth to Kate’s father.

Which is where we start the ep, with another baddie getting their asses handed to them via Batwoman, and though the aptly named The Rifle gets away, Sophie manages to get Batwoman in her sights, and gives her the ultimatum: Either Kate comes clean, or Sophie does it.

Now, while I can imagine that being outed as a vigilante isn’t in Kate’s plans, both for her own safety and that of her immediate family and friends, the problem is that there doesn’t seem to be any real stakes or dangers to the characters for Kate being outed.

And that’s mostly because in the beginning, Commander Kane was touted as this security guy that was by the book, absolutely abhorred vigilantes, and wouldn’t hesitate to put a bullet through one of them. But we haven’t seen much of that. Last week’s episode was the closest we got to a true spat between Jacob and Batwoman in the courtroom, and even then it fell a bit flat. Sophie’s ultimatum would have had a lot more gravitas if say, he put a bounty on her head, causing chaos for the Crows who wanted to bring her in, and Gotham’s underworld wanting a big paycheck. Then that would provide a real danger to Kate, as well as provide a crisis of conscience to Jacob, he let one daughter down by giving up the search, and now he put his other daughter in the cross-hairs.

Instead, he seems to be tolerant of Batwoman like someone who has to tolerate a fly on a summer day. You try to swat it away, but it will fly back and continue trying to do its thing.

But nonetheless, the threat is made, and Kate has a choice to make. Enter the MacGyver to solve all of this week’s problems: Julia Pennyworth.

On one hand, it’s great seeing this next generation of Bats, such as Kate, Luke, and even Julia. On the other...either Kate is really bad at keeping secrets, or Julia has superpowers.

Maybe it’s just me because I’m not an expert in mixed martial arts or what have you, but most of Kate’s moves look the same, and definitely not something I could recognize someone with.

But I digress. Just when I thought Kate would try to put Luke in a red wig and have him gallivant through Gotham, in comes the perfect doppelganger to throw Sophie off their trail.

But not before Sophie starts stirring the pot and creating issues. She tells her commander the truth (more on that in a bit), and alludes to it to her husband enough that he grows paranoid and restless.

I was half expecting him to follow her.

Instead, we get a powerful story on the dangers of coming out and being queer in public. From Alessandro attempts to kick them out (I do want Batwoman to come crashing into his restaurant in a future ep like “I’m here, I’m queer”, just to spite him) to the fear she has of her homophobic mother finding out, and we see that in real life, not everyone has the luxury of wanting to out themselves. It speaks volumes that Kate is perfectly fine being unapologetically queer, while Sophie hides behind heteronormative assumptions.

The fear of being out and being an outcast is what made Sophie choose the Academy over Kate, and marrying Tyler as well. And the fact that she told him the truth does show the trust she has for him, even if his words are a bit on the dismissive side of her sexuality. For being a forgetful character, Tyler made a point of being quite vocal and opinionated.

Nonetheless, Sophie reassures him that she’s with him, and that’s that on that.

On the other side of Gotham, we have the Wonderland gang causing chaos as usual. I can’t help but wonder of what Dodgson said a few episodes ago, that Alice is only pretending to care about Mouse. It certainly would lend to the idea from the previous episode where Mouse pretended to be Kate on the phone and baited Alice, and now she certainly saved her by switching the cartridges on the weapon and prevented her (rather Julia) from being killed by The Rifle.

It does seem there is still something to be said about that twin connection, if it was Alice’s idea to have Mouse pretend to be Jacob Kane. Both sisters had someone else impersonate someone in the Kane family for their own ends.

Kate was to save face and show that she can’t be in two places at once - though why she would be in a derelict building by her lonesome when there are Crow agents and a mercenary out and about should have certainly given Sophie pause - while we have yet to see what’s Alice’s and Mouse’s endgame by pretending to be Jacob.

Which begs the question: did the real Jacob Kane file for divorce? And why would Mouse and Alice want Catherine to feel that Jacob is trying to mend things between them? Curiouser and curiouser.

It also doesn’t help that we didn’t see Jacob do anything out of the ordinary. Mouse just wasted an entire flesh mask to what? Play broken house and lead the Crows for a few hours?

Of course, the stand-outs are always the smaller characters. From Mary nearly walking in on the entrance to the Batcave, to Luke basically having a conversation with himself, it’s characters like those that help balance the darker Bat mythos with a levity that just keeps things interesting. Julia was also an interesting choice to include, though I wish they had used her for a bit more than “we need to get a woman that could realistically play Kate’s doppelganger and get in the suit”, because it feels like a really cheap way to use a guest star. Especially considering the whole gun that can penetrate the Batsuit that no one knew wouldn’t actually kill her. They basically sent her to a suicide mission.

And we can’t forget the mention of a new baddie pulling The Rifle’s and the Wonderland gang’s strings - Safiyah. An obscure DC mention if I’ve ever heard of one, but one that promises of a bigger plan.

For now, we will toast to another successful week, as well as Gotham Pride Real Estate’s first acquisition: a dump that will soon become a gay bar to make Alessandro (whose restaurant is conveniently right across the street) uncomfortable. And Kate makes sure to include Mary in the project as the designer, solidifying that no matter what happens to their parents, their sisterhood will remain intact.

Batwoman returns on December 1st
