im clowning but im free cause it sure felt like all three of teds female potential love interests (sassy, michelle, rebecca) were all in this episode to showcase the differences and the disconnects and how none of them quite meshโฆ almost like they were clearing the slateโฆ
steve and robin pop duo and the friction between the part of their fandom that thinks they're married vs the part of their fandom that's like ๐.....๐ณ๏ธโ๐โ
like just the radically different fandom responses to the same photo of like. robin sitting on steve. where the straight fandom is like 'aw they're so cute here they look so in love' or 'aw in so jealous of robin haha steve seems like such a sweet boyfriend' vs the queer fandom being like 'ah the universal lesbian experience of using your guy friend as a chair. we've all been there'
i donโt watch bridgerton (just never got into it) but i hope all of the cressida x eloise babes get what you want bc i donโt even watch the show and the screenshots/clips iโve seen of those two have me going:
hi Shan thank you so much for sending this, hope you're doing well ๐๐ฉท
3. Who was your first Asian ql blorbo?
Sky from Love In The Air for sure, it was adoption at first sight snakhsdj he has bewitched me shared trauma responses & soul since the very first word he spoke! friend who suggested me the show literally said "he reminds me of you so much" first thing before i even watched and she was so right โจ
13. Which Asian ql tropes get you every time?
bisexual on a motorcycle gets me every single time, or in general every motorcycle/bycicle/scooter related moment in every way or form in any ql show. Ongsa driving Sun's scooter at the end of 23.5? SandRay in ep 5? every PhayuRain or PaiSky scene involving a motorcycle in LITA? i don't care how many similar scenes they can throw at me i rarely ever feel tired of it as long as it fits and it means anything emotionally-wise or for the plot (says girl who usually despises any trope that gets repeated more than twice in the same category of media)
also a huge sucker for all those ๐ณ๏ธโ๐โ moments characters often have in ql shows AND the various pool scenes/underwater kiss variations (although ngl i should likely blame the skamverse for this)
