this is. I'm a little. hooooo boy.... oh wow oh golly gosh wow....
Me explaining Desire to a non-BL non-Ao3 friend.
Friend's eyes getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
(I actually had to go into the history of m/m, shifter prn, ABO world-building & mpreg. Then China's checked censorship past, the miracle that was Revenged Love, and current CBL practices on marketing and distribution. Luckily this friend is savvy on current global political landscape so I didn't have to explain the insanity that is Hong Kong or Singapore as distributors and Gaga as the platform de jour.)
Eventually the friend says, “I think I must watch this.”
Me, “Oh no! It's not good, it's just a miracle of the modern age.”
when the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one 🌞 🥰 and the sunshine one doesn't appreciate that kind of condescension from someone who holds everyone else in the world to rigorous intellectual scrutiny 👀🔥👀 and the grumpy one low key thinks the sunshine one is a lil morally bankrupt and self obsessed for maintaining the facade even when acknowledgment of struggle and negativity is necessary for constructive change 🤭 😌 and they get divorced. they get divorced. 🧑⚖️❌
