its alright you can just say the truth that its mid
i think it’s a very problematic story disguised as a feminist retelling despite putting down every single woman who does not condone the cradle robber relationship. the justification is that persephone is 18 and ignores that her lover is old enough to be her father and she barely exited teen hood. if she was one year younger then hades would’ve been a groomer, but apparently the added year has made their enormous age gap completely okay. anyone who says that she’s technically a very old goddess remind me of the people who say that lolicon is okay because the 6 year old girl is actually a 1000 year old demon.
it also villanizes a good mother who mourns her daughter’s kidnapping by making her a control freak who won’t let her daughter grow up. ironically persephone is portrayed as naive and easy to take advantage of which completely justifies her mother’s worry. it’s also very creepy how she’s constantly infantilized while also sexualized as if her childlike innocence adds to her sexual appeal
i hate everything about the way her SA was handled, i hate that apollo is a comedically terrible supervillain for absolutely no reason, i hate that the fan base will rip you apart for not worshipping the narrative which is spun out the author’s 7th grade ao3 account. the whole thing is a self insert x mads mikkelsen fanfiction which teaches young women that it’s okay to fall in love with your 35 year old boyfriend because you’re so mature and independent and everyone who tries to protect you is against you. art is cool. wish that not everyone looks like the same person in a different swatch and —
*BANG*

last movie: Saw X (surprisingly also a lot more wholesome than you'd expect????)
sweet/savoury/spicy: Sweet :3

Koisenu Futari

other stuff I watched this year: Not listing all of it here (I've never watched so much stuff as I did in 2023), but I'll mention the ones that I enjoyed watching the most from each month so far (*not including rewatches):

shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: I barely remember the ones I watched till the very end 🤡 But ok, let me see...
Eve (dropped after one episode; Rich People and their Rich People Problems™, I think was the reason)
A few straight GMMTV shows that I didn't really catch the name (I. Well. I just. I just couldn't make myself give a fuck, ok 😔)
+ Currently deliberating whether or not I should drop Chains of Heart. All the subtitles I've found are lacking in terms of coherence, and the story itself is already not the most straightforward, so I can only hope I'm understanding what's going on at all? 😀 And I'm also not feeling the main couple from either the present nor the past (? I suspect they are the same (but I may never know))... HOWEVER, I like the acting of the main, and the Thai scenario that is not Bangkok for once. That's always refreshing. And sometimes the cinematography is pretty too... Decisions, decisions...
currently listening to: Back for More by TXT & Anitta (I went after the link for it and distractedly searched for "banger" instead of the title 😆)
currently reading: Codename Villanelle (it's a small book but I'm. ..struggle)
current obsession: I'm not obsessing over anything at the moment 😟☹😫 Have been too busy with mundane adult life problems (therefore, as you can imagine, I'm just about going up the walls here :))
