I was enjoying the harley quinn serie and a lot of other shows (as any multi shipper should) and then got caught up on skam france s6 as suggested by your anons and now I can’t think of anything else, I can’t even go back to enjoy harlivy anymore omg

Oh no! Or oh yes? Heh, I guess it depends on how you’re taking your current ship hangover. Are you happily basking in them or wishing you could get into something else? The ship’s that good, huh. Those pesky anons strike again!

Wait so did Ivy finally dump kite man and did she not go thru w the wedding? I’ve been waiting to watch Bc I don’t trust the writers lol. And for some reason kite man seems to be popular with ppl which makes no sense to me Bc he was a total dick in the ep I watched.

Well. Well! She– Hmm. Okay. Soooo…no? Heh. HE realized how much she didn’t want to marry him and dumped her and left. >_>

I’m of two minds about it, tbh, because on the one hand, yes, it is absolutely clear to everyone, including the audience, that Ivy loves Harley, so if he left because she didn’t love him or HE left because she didn’t love him, same difference. But on the other hand, there was a TON of him and there’s just BEEN so much of him, and exactly as you said, people seem to love him and I don’t know if the writers get that when it comes to female characters, it doesn’t even matter if they’re the leads, people will jump at any chance to center men. So even though I don’t think they like, sidelined Harley or Ivy for him, you gotta just expect a certain reaction and account for it. Aside from the actual plot point of it still being nice if Ivy made the decision.

But like, to be very precise in this, it’s not that the disappointment I have for this ep is deep, I’m just working through having any at all. I’m mostly venting because I think they could have just so easily made different and better choices, or ones I preferred, anyway. I wouldn’t at all dissuade people from watching, especially the whole show.

i really want javier and raúl to have some kind of hookup or sexual tension damn now that would be good ( and I deadass thought javier’s dad was going to kiss him on the lips when they were walking away the football pitch- that would have been creepy af but i’m all for it

Ah, well, I honestly couldn’t tell them apart at first and I hate Raul so, but you live your dreams, anon.

And another anon (or the same?):

do you like white boys? how is it to be a pakistani-american in the us?

Not especially. And it’s fine, I guess? I’d say I’m pretty lucky and have class privilege that shields me from a lot.

Watching Penny Dreadful here because of Lorenza Izzo. Shes a fellow WLW and needs to support. I dont know if you also ever saw Casual were she was in a WLW relationship there as well.

 Oh, she is? I had no idea. Although I wasn’t really aware of who she was to begin with, I don’t think… Regardless, yay! And yeah, definitely will be paying attention to her too now. So that’s her AND Kerry Bishe now and obviously Natalie Dormer’s just hot af so. I will probably stick with the show unless it does something horrible.

ETA: I totally forgot to address the Casual part. Um, I’ve heard of it…in the sense that once I googled it, I was like, ohhhh, that, but no, I haven’t seen it or know much about it. I might watch her parts, heh.

Hi so I’m the anon that mentioned that they would probably drop the trailer for THOI next week, so waking up to it this morning was a happy surprise. Having just seen it and not knowing anything else. I’m assuming that they are focusing more on the platonic friendship and less on the F/F. Which honestly I like because like you mentioned on a post it’s about finding an ally in small town America and crushing on the same person, which is something that happens all to time to friends.

Cont. of date anon, As well as I’m not sure how many people remember Sierra Burgess is a big loser. But it kind of dealt with the same topics of helping another person get their crush. And after it came out people had an issue with it, because while we like to imagine it as a cute story you tell later in life. It is actually a person being misled and lied to about who they thought they knew and realistically I don’t think in RL any type of relationship would work out.

Last part. I think I believe Ms. Wu realizes this as well. Like you mentioned there is not a whole lot of happy W/W romcoms out there and to create one based on a lie doesn’t seem like a thing she would do. I would prefer if they built up the friendship between Elie and Paul and used it as a way to show that starting a relationship off with a lie doesn’t help anyone and by putting Aster on a pedestal they don’t really learn about the real her.

I’m so sorry it took so long to reply, especially since we have an ongoing correspondence. 😛 Now it looks silly when I say “Yay! You got your trailer early”, because it’s almost two weeks after. D:

Yeah, it does look like it’ll be more about the friendship and coming of age and her identity as a second-gen Asian American in a small town. 

I…don’t remember anything about Sierra Burgess is a Loser, which I had to google just now. I honestly haven’t seen any of these, I just know vaguely that one is about a tall girl and one is about a kissing booth, one of course is TATBTILB which was ALL over my dash. I had no idea that people had an issue with it, I feel like there’s a lot more leeway given to romcoms and of course movies in general that people wouldn’t tolerate in real life, but it doesn’t surprise me that people point out objectionable things more now.

But anyway, in this case, I get what you’re saying about how this relationship works (or doesn’t), but I don’t even think that needs to be said. It’s not as if the premise was the actual obstacle to a relationship, if it were, she could have just written a different one. It’s just not the focus, dearth of f/f romcoms or not, this wasn’t intended to be one and then changed because she realized it didn’t work, it was just never meant to be that. And that’s totally fine.
