Aw, thank you for taking the time to say so, anon! It means a lot to hear it in these times too! Whew, they have been rough. In so many ways, so many new ways every day. But yeah! Eventually I’ll be pulled into something and then gif it, I’m glad it helped you too!
I’m pretty excited for The Half Of It. It looks wholesome! I’m fine with the not HEA ??♀️ Somehow, as you said, with all the other releases not finishing with a HEA and still embraced by the community I feel like it may be a bit hypocrite if this one get rejected but oh well let’s see the final result first
Hey, those movies have never been embraced by ME. 😛 Although, I think a lot has to be said for those movies still focusing on the f/f relationship to the extent they did. What a story spends its time on matters. And how, lol. Not to be a defender or apologist for a movie that I have only ever said I don’t want to watch, but Portrait’s like, this cinematic piece of art, right? While this movie is deliberately subverting a romcom trope to be about a platonic friendship, and that’s not really particularly subversive when it comes to f/f media.
Again, Alice Wu can make whatever she wants and it’s not her fault if people take the impression that it’s a lesbian romcom, but I would absolutely not blame anyone for being disappointed. Although I don’t really think people especially are? The trailer was very much about Ellie and Paul and I’m only seeing positive remarks so far.
THE HALF OF IT TRAILER IS OUT!!!! it’s so surreal seeing it because I’ve been waiting since before anyone was even cast but it’s still so exciting and looks like it’s going to be another alice wu masterpiece. while some people are probably going to be upset at the opening ending I think the way aster and ellie’s interactions play out on screen vs just reading off a page are definitely going to color it more positive
Aah, thanks for telling me! And right, right, absolutely! And honestly, of the possible endings when you see the actual dynamics at play, it’s only a little bit short of a full f/f HEA.
Have you seen little fires everywhere? So good so far, one of the daughters is confirmed wlw
I haven’ttt, not yet, it’s just so much drama? It felt like Big Little Lies but with this strong race element? And I just haven’t had the energy for that yet .But I do have it on my list (meaning I’m downloading it), there’s just not been any point in the last few weeks where I’m like, this is the show I want to start next. I might wait till the season finishes, might not. I’ll see how I feel. 😮
