@aru_j_sol man im sorry also to break it to u but you sound so male-centered im crying 😭 there are so many dynamics on how romantic relationships are built. if your idea is ‘you fuck first then bond after,’ that’s on you, I could care less

[n @httpnat11]

and critique the film all u want in terms of pacing, writing choices, or even how the conflict was handled, that’s valid but questioning whether it is BL at all just bc it didn’t follow a preferred ending or include explicit intimacy misses how the story is actually constructed

[n @httpnat11]

weird take because queer relationships in films and even in real life, don’t have to follow the stereotype that everything should revolve around sex just to be considered “real” or valid. this scene specifically was intimate in a way that felt quiet and very human.

now that i have finished soulmate this was definitely not a bl. of course why not give the queer coded characters a random sickness they will eventually die from because why would we give them a happy ending this drama just extremely pissed me off completely with this

[n @httpnat11]

Soulmate was nicely written, that’s for sure. it may have its flaws, but saying it “isn’t BL” just because it didn’t give the exact ending or physical intimacy some ppl expected reduces queer love into a checklist instead of seeing it for the emotional connection it actually gave

[n @httpnat11]

@ddiwa_ even if BL is a theme/genre debate, it still sits under romance, jus like u said it 😭 and romance doesn’t need a “happy ending + physical intimacy” it’s still romance if the emotional connection is the focus. not everything has to follow the “typical BL formula” to count.

[n @httpnat11]

people also confuse “happy ending” with “perfect ending.” a story can still have a happy or meaningful ending even if illness, grief, or uncertainty exists.

happiness in queer stories doesn’t always have to mean “nobody suffered and everyone kissed under fireworks.”

[n @httpnat11]

@ddiwa_ but BL is a genre though. promoting it as BL isn’t “lying”, it’s just labeling the type of story it is. BL has a wide range of substyles, and not all of them follow the same formula or give the same kind of ending

[n @httpnat11]

@momomaw101 so basically, just because it wasn’t the ending or the “typical” BL formula some of y’all wanted, suddenly it’s not queer anymore? 😭 yeah okay… i’m seeing a pattern

[n @httpnat11]

@noireque right 😭 yeah the suffering part felt sudden, but the show still felt so queer and refreshing aftterr a long timee. for once the relationship was carried by emotional intimacy and storytelling instead of just fanservice/physical scenes

[n @httpnat11]

some of y’all need to log off and actually experience real relationships instead of projecting unrealistic expectations onto every queer story 😭

[n @httpnat11]

and tbh, reducing queer love only to physical acts kinda misses the entire point of emotional intimacy in the first place

[n @httpnat11]

a relationship doesn’t become less queer just because it isn’t hypersexualized, and a story doesn’t stop being BL just because it chooses tenderness or emotional connection over fanservice.
