Lmao sameee the fact theyโre not hiding it is stressing me out so much. Yeah as a woman itโs so difficult to watch these things happening to them. The fact it is really how it used to be pains me.

2024-01-10 13:09:18 +0000 UTCThe Olive Oil Scene was a masterclass in showing growing intimacy between 2 characters. Jom was taken aback by Yai asking for the massage, as it is a level of intimacy that had yet to share. They had kissed, and cuddled, but always fully clothed. Jom was viewing the act from a modern lens, and was unsure of whether the act was going to lead to where it may have in a modern setting - Yai is still quite young and inexperienced with these matters, given the time period. By Juxtaposing the massage with Jom's alone time, it was showing how the act of the massage stirred something in both of them, yet while Jom was worked up and had to 'finish' on his own, Yai put the breaks before it went any further - he grabbed Jom's hand to ground them both and stop the massage out of fear of fully investing - the words of his dad from breakfast about the tragedy of gay couples in the era is playing on his mind. Jom fears being discovered and the consequences, but doesn't fear the act in and of itself, whereas for Yai, actually giving into desire is something to be feared, as you cannot undo that..

2023-10-03 10:17:11 +0000 UTCI agree that it can be triggering, however, it is important to see that these things were realities back then. While we may not always like it, History is so significant to the way we view things today. And these attitudes are still present today and accepted in some ways. Even though we have come a long way, there is still lots of work to do. I am enjoying this series very much.

We're coming from very far and it's still not right yet today. The hesitation of Jom toward Yai is sometime annoying but again... 1920. So I understand it in the fullest.
