AePete is the main reason why LBC will always have a special place in my heart. I am fairly new to this whole BL fandom and I am not entirely sure if I’m that big of a fan of all those Thai-BL-shows which are going to be thrown our way.
But when I watch LBC I imagine LGBT+ people, maybe teenagers, maybe younger, maybe older and I am happy because they will watch
the main character saying he is gay
a coming-out scene which is so true to the actual expirience of coming out that it makes me tear up every time
the potrayal of a first love which is lovely and heartwarming
They will watch a couple falling in love, like every other couple. They will watch the developement of physical intimacy and the message, that yes of course you are worthy of love and this is how it should look like.
I sincerely hope that the positivity of AePete’s relationship will be the first of many healthy relationships and gay storylines in the Thai-BL-Fandom.
I will miss them and my other ship TinCan, but the impact of LBC will drive me to write fanfiction for a long time - that I can promise.
