Good Morning Gays (x)

romeo and juliet, william shakespeare // bad buddy episode 12

falling in love is a rarity in this world. 

Can you believe that Gaya Sa Pelikula talked about so many lgbt+ related issues as openly as it did? 

Can you believe that it gave a lesson about euphemisms and how it is not shameful saying the word gay out loud? Can you believe it talked about allyship and how it’s not always done right, but that if people are willing to listen to lgbt+ people and are open to learn it is valuable? When was the last time you saw a show saying microaggression? And especially, related to how people assume that passing privilege is a good thing and shame more feminine lgbt+ people. When was the last time you heard that “you don’t look gay” is NOT a compliment as explicitly as gsp did? Can you believe it also talked about how Vlad devalued those little mundane romantic things like prom because as lgbt+ we feel those are still out of reach for us because of the hateful societies we live in? But then immidiately showed us that we can have those experiences as lgbt+ people. Can you believe how they also highlighted that coming out feels like coming home, or all the talk about Boca del Cielo which is a place that doesn’t feel real but in the end it is found, and how the show values finally being able to express yourself as lgbt+ as something to celebrate and dance to? Something freeing and beautiful?

Pat adjusting himself so Pran could feel comfortable enough to deal with his own feelings will be forever one of the best things a BL series ever gave us. It shows how much in love he is and how much he cares about Pran's feelings and pace. They both knows they like each other, but Pat also knows Pran needs a reason to face, without fearing it, this new path their relationship took, so he gave him exactly this.

Ingredients the series (2020-2021)

THEY LEARNED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

the fact that ohm changes his twitter icon to whatever legendary bad buddy scene made fans lose their minds this week is so funny i love this man

I just cannot get over how BAD Yu Zhen is at romantic communication.

It's definitely related to his trauma.

But he just... he's absolutely terrified of putting words to his feelings.

There have been at least two direct occurrences of him using his knowledge of exactly how soft and caring Shi Lei is to manipulate him into giving him affection.

We've seen him ease into affectionate looks and initiate touches and clutch Shi Lei tight to him because he craves that contact so deeply.

But he never uses words.

He steps into the coffee shop after taking a deep breath and still only manages to point at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei asks for time to himself and Yu Zhen panics so hard he fakes an allergic reaction just to bring Shi Lei back to his side.

He cannot bear the thought of their separation but also cannot face the peril of putting words to feelings, of saying what he feels.

His pride, his fear, his control, his past... everything is catching up and crashing down around him.

Shi Lei can only do so much if Yu Zhen won't tell him anything. And he'll really only do so much without the words he wants, without the confirmation of their relationship.

Three more episodes and the pain has begun and I don't think will be going away any time soon. Each young man sleeping in their own room next episode... ooof.

Crying today because I learnt that -

if someone lets you go because of lack of courage and not being able to take a stand for themselves, don't worry. Because there'll definitely be someone out there who'll always be there to lend you a shoulder or open their arms to comfort you.
