You know. This show and its commentary on love, timing, equal footings, and relationships? Yeah.

It’s in the way several characters’ paths cross all over their timelines, and for some the timing is never right for a relationship, even if there are feelings, like love even.

It’s in the way Alex says: Just because you have feelings, doesn’t mean you have found the love you were looking for. E.g. that love that is just right for you, maybe even both of you, at the same time.

And even if you find a love that’s right for you, it’s still a different thing from taking part in a romantic relationship, not the same thing.

It’s also about timing, and the factors that play into it, like your situation, your circumstances, the stage you are at in life.

Then there is that aspect that I will call equal footing, that will make a relationship one of the really good ones.

It’s about shared expectations, standing on common ground, about how knowing yourself and standing up for yourself and setting boundaries comes into it, as well as being open for someone else and the respect you have for them and their footing.

That entire scene of Bai Lang saying My feelings are the same as yours, and Xun-an going: What does that even mean, how can you say you and I are the same, when you treat me like this? I think it’s about this exactly, that feelings alone won’t make up all the requirements needed for a relationship.

And doesn’t this touch on every couple or love interest in the show?

Bai Lang and Jin Xun-an have crossed paths before, but it wasn’t their time, JinXun-an was not as settled in who he is now. This time around, they fight for the love they fall into and fight to arrive at that equal footing that makes their relationship and them so right for each other now.

For Jin Xun-An and Ye Quiran, chances to fight for an equal footing have passed, because of growing, growing apart, growing in different directions, even maybe because of each other, but never being able to build on their feelings of love in their timeline.

Even A and Renmin touch on that subject of finding equal grounds to meet on with the struggle to find common and shared interests and way to meet.

RJ and Alex. It’s why I am so curious as to what they will do with Alex and RJ. They are at very different stages of their life, age wise, could they still have equal footing now, could they maybe in 10 years, what will be their timing? They are already shaping each other, but can they be right for each other in that way?

Love alone is never enough for that equal footing, not enough to make a relationship good and healthy and maybe even possible.

But it can be the motor, love, to work and fight for that setting and timing where your footings are equal and you can be right for each other.

Of course people do not only choose relationships that are right for them, and that too is a step on their way and something that shapes you, part of a necessary narrative.

I just find the ways this show touches and comments on all those subjects very insightful.

WBL did touch on similar things, especially with that second season.

I just feel like very wise human beings were at the core of making this tooth show here, and WBL, too.

do you think that joong and dunk will get another show in 2024?

i have absolutely no idea, tbh. do i want one? yes. do i think we'll get one? i'm not even gonna try speculating because at the end of the day that decision lies with people on a completely different continent than me, with people that i have no influence on

[theinfinitedivides]

I have NOooo idea who carmen sandiego is except for the fact that the tiktok person iSNT her dhfjfjrj (unless they are????) The first time i went into the replies to find out who the tiktok person was, i saw a comment that said 'carmen sandiego' so i went with it XDDD

Tldr: i saw someone refer to them as 'CS' so I've been doing it too

asfjklmjnnjanasabsasjasnq i???? what????

behold, Carmen Sandiego, love of my queer life since the age of six when i first got my hands on the only DVD-ROM game of hers they had available at my local educational store

also apparently they made her bi in the Netflix animated series reboot? or at least i'm hearing she is heavily coded as such there—have not watched it but if so i thank them for their service bc that is exactly what she is

You're so hecking cool and smart for your tattoo idea!!

🥰🥰🥰Thank youuuu!!! I think about getting that tattoo all the time. I've told myself that if I want it for more than five years, then I can consider making it permanent.

HAVE YOU EVER DONE ONE OF THEM CROSS COUNTRY ROAD TRIPS IN A CAR, ones that span multiple days and all!!!!

If you could, who are the characters that you'd like to undertake this endeavour with!!!!

HI FRIEND I LOVE YOU

I have not taken a cross country road trip in a car because I absolutely hate being in cars for long periods of time. My tolerance for being stuck in a car maxes out at about 4 hours.

If I could tolerate it, I'd probably go with one other person because I get really sick of people, so it'd have to be someone who doesn't mind the occasional day where they could do something on their own while I recharge. So for that reason, probably my main man Alex. Even a rest day would be fun lol.

Sleepover Weekend!
