yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

#canary in a coal mine #this is why i cant take the 'activist' who complain about BL GL seriously #from a pragmatist pov they just sound stupid

The divide in fandom regarding Lu Feng and Yichen can be summed up with the fact that Lu Feng is an active character while Yichen is a passive one.

#Yichen never moves to do something or take a stand or draw a line #he is bending to the will of whoever is in the room with him #and while that is realistic #it will always make him a less attractive character than someone like Lu Feng #who has been taking all the actions in their relationship #double helix

I love how no one is talking about Mundo and whatever his evil plans are in My Royal Nemesis tag. We don't care! Segye kissed Seori's wrist!!

People need to understand that not all villains are made to be dissected and understood. Sometimes they just exist for the tension, for the spice and there is nothing wrong with that because the villain is not the point of the story. The leads are. They drive the story and themes. Sometimes all the villain needs to be is set dressing. And sure some people don't like that. The want a villain to have some sad backstory or some reasonable reason for villaining. But this is just a show and just a story. As long as the villain isn't written from an egregiously out of touch pov, a villain being just a villain is enough.

Wtf. Anyone else recurve those fake tumblr verification notices? I was tagged in one and thank god I saw the username and checked tumblr staff page and found nothing on there. I don't know what it does but everyone should be careful.

Grandpa straight up jumped into the deep end (omegaverse).

Sir, you are not ready for this

#my grandpa is a bl writer #honestly i would never rec omegaverse to a bl newbie

Everyone is calling out Lu Feng for emotional incompetence (as they should) but Yi Chen is just as bad

#double helix #tbf we wouldn't have any drama if not for their constipated emotions #but still #they are both equally shit at this

DJ, please play "traitor" by Olivia Rodrigo 😅

#the way she just pushed him is so funny #at least she isnt getting fired #double helix

The way this man is tearing up a passport. Sir that is a crime

#double helix

The two latest episodes of Double Helix are absolutely devastating.

#double helix #chinese bl #cbl #it that they are both right from their own pov and that fucking hurts like hell

If this show had come out when it was supposed to it would have been a massive hit. The absurd almost disney channel like quality this show has is so fun and entertaining. The cop and barcode speak Korean and Thai respectively and understand each other which means they know the language but are actively choosing to speak korean and Thai. One alien speaks Thai, the other speaks English. Genuinely such an absurd show and that is without getting into the lore which suggests that all kpop artists are aliens.

#wuju bakery #it's absurd and fun #and i genuinely didnt expect this to be any good

Someone on here said that Double Helix was toxic, can someone point me to the toxic?

#like what even is toxic in this context? reality?#that they act like people?#have people gone so far up homophobia less BL utopia that they have forgotten reality exists?#double helix

hey everyone "I" have something to show "you"

This happens because the "I" pov stories are always seen as (accused of) being 'for self-inserting'. Eg: Twilight, Hunger Games ('girls should self insert into this one'/'this is better for girls to self insert into')

What if I said I am shipping Queen Mother and Prime Minister, what then?

#perfect crown #they cant be a couple or she would lose everything but its fun to think about

Maybe it's because I am watching Pursuit of Jade at the same time but Perfect Crown just doesn't have the IT factor. Sure there are moments like the car scene but overall it lacks a certain presence.

And maybe I have been swayed by the Zhang Linghe - Byeon Woo Seok comparisons but even Tian Xiwei has a better presence than IU. And I was so looking forward to watching an IU drama.

Sure the genres are different but there are also so many commonalities between the stories.

My problem is also that the incompetent Kings (the previous two, not the child) aren't being called out of being incompetent. Meanwhile every single incompetent idiot in PoJ was called out as such in one way or the other.

And Queen Mother is a fucking fantastic villain but she is dealing with misogyny both in universe and by the creators. I'm not expecting serious critic of power but she is an important character.

#perfect crown #pursuit of jade #media analysis #media critique

You know, for a show that can hire IU, the clothes are boring af

#perfect crown #like why are some of her outfits so drab?#meanwhile the others are boring #like the outfit she had for the last part of episode 6 is too boring for the events happening on screen #and the ml only wear one type of clothing with those giant lapels #was the stylist sleeping on the job?

So get me out of here.

Perfect Crown (21세기 대군부인) 2026

I loved this and the following sequences where she shows him the world. A little rr in my kdrama is appreciated

#perfect crown #kdrama

Honestly, the last two Kings were such shit kings. I understand the Queen Mother's actions. If her husband was no longer King their lives could be forfeit in the name of the crown. At minimum their dignity.

Their dad was a raging idiot who apparently was an all out a-hole who didn't understand basic royal shit. Like why do you hate your spare so damn much?

And the previous King, seems like a coward and a weakling, likely made that way because of their father so not all on him but still, he is a grown man.

The majority of royals (not even monarchs) who have forfeit their position have come to regret it throughout history. They realize that commoner life is not all they made up in their heads.

#at least it makes for good drama #i just dont like how people are hell bent on seeing Queen Mother as solely evil instead of a complex person in a complicated position #to say nothing of why she would be worried about Ian's marriage to someone not loyal to her #since that could create a possible contender for the throne #like i get it its only a constitutional monarchy #but clearly it holds power #or huiju wouldnt want to be a part of it #perfect crown #iu #oh beomseok
