😭😭😭 so many layers to this show! I love it. It’s sad that the general BL audience isn’t into shows like this. Sadly most of the fandom just watches for the kissing scenes and the attractive men. I wish more people watched for the depth and the story! 😭 Like ACTUALLY watch for the plot lmao

2022-12-28 23:04:48 +0000 UTCEXACTLY!! Preach!! Also, straight men are allowed to compliment other straight men!!! You can tell your friend he looks handsome or hot and it doesn’t have to mean you’re not straight 😭😭😭 Most straight guys don’t understand that tho. But thankfully I do know some straight guys who do.

2022-12-28 23:02:32 +0000 UTCoh thanks for telling me! and your explanation is exactly how I feel, there's nothing wrong with being vulnerable and open about your feelings... it just makes you human. I can't relate with characters who are constantly strong and suddenly feels sadness for 2 sec (and most of the time its because someone is dying or about to die). normalize man not being scared of showing vulnerability and being able to show affection without it being sexualize or being labeled as being gay.

2022-12-28 22:53:41 +0000 UTCYESSSS! I totally get what you mean!! Although I do want to let you know that “fragile masculinity” isn’t quite the term you’re looking for in the way you’re referring to it. Fragile masculinity refers to how insecure most men are about being masculine or “manly”, and it’s the core reason why toxic masculinity exists. “Fragile” means “easily broken or damaged”, meaning they constantly feel that their masculinity is being threatened. This is what causes them to overly compensate by not opening up about their feelings or not allowing themselves to be emotional - which essentially what toxic masculinity is. This is also why a big symptom of toxic masculinity is homophobia. They’re so afraid of seeming not masculine enough that they reject or fear being called gay. There isn’t really a term for what you’re talking about, but it’s essentially men who have zero toxic masculinity, are secure in themselves and who they are, and aren’t afraid to be vulnerable, emotional or open about their feelings. These are also men who are completely comfortable and open with their sexuality. I totally agree that men who don’t have any toxic masculinity are WAY more attractive!! It’s totally okay to be open about your feelings, but unfortunately a lot of straight men are too afraid to be that confident in themselves because of the toxic masculinity that is passed down to them and perpetuated in society. 🥲🥲🥲 HHAHA omg never apologize for your big ass paragraphs!! i always love reading them! ♥️♥️♥️

2022-12-28 22:52:50 +0000 UTCITS OKAY THAT MADE PERFECT SENSE DON’T WORRY I GET YOU HAHA. Love those insights!!!! There’s definitely parallels with how the story is going now with what happened in the past. The phone calls from the mom made me feel bad for In because the sound of the phone ringing must be so triggering for him! 😭 It totally makes sense now why he’s been so disconnected from the world and why he’s been in isolation for so long. He has so much pain and shame and regret that he hasn’t confronted 🥺

2022-12-28 22:39:21 +0000 UTCthe reason I got interested in BL is because of fragile masculinity (I realized it not too long ago) I don't know if that's a bad thing ahahah its the reason why I also like Kpop. in BL the characters are emotional and are not scared to show it, they have sadness not only anger. im tired of tv portraying men as strong and stoic with only anger and being horny as the main emotions. sadly we don't get a lot of fragile masculinity in typical straight shows. an exemple of a character who didn't have that toxic masculinity trait is Spencer Reid in Criminal Minds which kinda explains my obsession with him hahaha. so yeah, BL and Kpop really brings out those traits in men (for some reason) and I appreciate that. the moral is: stop with the toxic masculinity, fragile masculinity is a lot more attractive and easier for people to connect with. thanks hahaha sorry for the big ass paragraphs

2022-12-28 22:31:39 +0000 UTCthis ep really made me realize that the story was repeating itself but this time with wang and In. the one interrupting the new confession is his mother. the one recreating those agonizing midnight calls that in rejected from siam is her. also, the part where wang started to speak as if he was his father was really telling in a way. it kinda shows how In sees Siam in Wang (remember that In mentioned that they look exactly the same). I believe that In is struggling because the only thing he sees when looking at Wang is Siam, so the question is... is In attracted to Wang or is he attracted to Siam. and is Wang actually attracted to In or is he really just infatuated with him? In is the only person who can help Wang learn more about his dad and what actually happen, he kinda see's his dad in In, he wants to know and feel how is dad felt and I think he is doing that through In (trying to connect with his dad through someone else's experience and stories). its so late and im not sure I am making a lot of sense so sorry hahahaha
