Ok

Gotcha

Girl!!! You should watch heart stoppers.. That's adorable too❤

the book is even better i swear its so good

I CACKLED !

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

BRO me and my roommate said the exact same thing! 😂😂😂

Actually the Texas AG recently in an interview admitted to throwing out tons of votes that would have flipped texas. The lnterview is easily available, theres also a content creator called secuIar taIk that covered it

I was okay with it because they realistically lose other swing states or red states like Florida and Nevada

The way I cackled and cried harder from seeing, bae are you good?😮😢😂

I’m so happy queer kids are getting all kinds of queer stories

this isn't crying...it's s great movie

SAme, bruh, same. I live in Texas. If I want a sob story I'll show you my dating life. lol. gimme the lame fluffy happy people.

amen

he did have an "oh shit" face tho. lol

Lol the MY FAVORITE PART, like how dare they. So adorable 😂

Didn't know I wanted this. But I do now.

That's how I felt when I kissed my longest term ex for the first time. How dare they

My favourite was the way they'd sign off their emails with excerpts from old love letters.

Wow 2,1k likes but zero comment, let me be the first 🙌

2nd

He was good in Chambers and I'm forever salty Netflix cancelled that show

Fr 😂😂

But they did a good job

He was excellent in Handsome Devil - so excellent that I didn't even realise he was the same guy after seeing him in both Purple Hearts and Cinderella. Though I did only see those two movies through video essays so maybe that's why I didn't recognise him?

@@aficklefangirl2566 omg SAME! Loved Handsome Devil, and the ending was so refreshing. Love queer friendship!

Right 😂

The most unrealistic element in this movie:

well he has to get some credit for bagging a British royal, right? Like, isn't that a "score one for Texas"?

some things are changed in the movie wich were in a book or never existed in a book.. alex have a sister in book..

❤❤❤

Fr it was immaculate

right??? omg whoever did the chemistry reading needs a raise

His acting was pretty good compared to Taylors cuz with Taylor it felt like he never left the kissing booth

@@ayah2114taylor is legit alex. there’s no one that could play better than him

@@fabianaricciulli8905 cool lol that has nothing to do with what i said

@@ayah2114 they were just acting differently in my opinion nick was exaggerating his expressions too much thats why i liked taylor more but i guess its preferences

⁠@@fabianaricciulli8905 my thoughts exactly, that’s literally book!alex comes to life. The book itself is very unserious. This is a romcom. Alex as a character always makes light of the hardships he went through. A golden retriever character.

It makes me so happy. Like we have hope for the future

Pose isn't even a gay show. It's like trans and drag. ....how does it represent real gay men . Lol

​@@Imetwurld_trans people are part of the lgbtq+ community and drag is part of lgbtq+ culture. what's your point?

@@indigo.raccoon my point is it as nothing to do with the romance between two men. How is it even a gay show for gay men ?? It's for gay men that think or want to be women lol.

@@Imetwurld_ OP said "LGBTQ+ dramas", not gay dramas

The fact that they got THEE JOY REID is wild to me. The real life political news anchors took me to out.

Right?!

In the novel it was frickin Anderson Cooper, especially for the election night. But getting Joy Reid AND Rachel Maddow is also pretty darn good. I've been trying to find any interview with either Reid or Maddow talking about their cameos in RWRB, but it seems they just haven't been asked about that at all...

@@mygoat0604 They couldn't have been asked about it because of the strike. Now that it's over, maybe. Would love to get interviews with Taylor and Nick, even though it's been a few months since the movie came out.

Definitely a meme. Needs to be.

Her iPad kid coughing too during it 😭😭 cherry on top

"I'm about to wendy williams this bitch"😭

me too, i cackled so hard

Hahaha this exactly!

😭

Famous last words

BRO 'FEDERAL FUNDING, TRAVEL EXPENSES, BOOTY CALLS AND YOU' THO. I CRIED, THATS THE FUNNIEST SHIT IVE EVER READ

gotta rewatch that now

Omggg 😭😭😭😭 I melted

In the book it was their thing, Alex called Henry baby more times, if I remember correctly it was along lines "and I learnt that Henry likes to be called " (book is mostly from Alex pov, so that is his thought)

Yeah they shouldv'e made it into more of a thing, a lot of the book kind of was lost in translation imo

Sammmmeeee 😭😭😭 made me wanna go find a partner (but not really)

I've seen this movie twice.

Why is it cringy?? Lol Never felt that way for a moment while watching it. It’s a sweet awesome movie that tugs at the heartstrings. Great acting, off the charts chemistry and cute storyline. ✌🏻✌🏻

how is it cringy??!! it's ridiculously cute

@@FeeFiFoFumBalthazarWhy do u guys want queer male media to be wholesome? You guys have an issue with queer male media showing sex scenes yet u guys have no issue with euphoria

@@ninjaturtles12121 Why do u guys want queer male media to be cute so badly? You guys have an issue with queer male media showing sex scenes yet u guys have no issue with euphoria

@@DolphinboiThey just said that the movie is wholesome while it includes sex?? And I think it should be a little of everything yk? Like have some queer things that don’t have super graphic stuff so younger audiences can also enjoy some gay and does Queer have to have graphic scenes to have validity? Why does it have to be all or nothing; why not have variety?

Same, he was tender and sweet and honest

NO LITERALLY

He was in handsome devil so I was really hoping Purple Hearts and Cinderella were just him needing to pay the bills

I’ve never seen Galitzine in anything but I couldn’t believe his acting, he was amazingly good and perfect in the role.

it was easy to forgive cause Purple Hearts and Amazon's Cinderella were both shite stories and shite scrips. like RW&RB was a good story with a solid script and apparently a director worth a damn.

Grandson, to be accurate, and the other grandson was played by a queer actor too :))

i love how He was also the InterCom voice in Heartstopper.

RIGHT?

Icon

SAME. we deserve better 💔

BRUH SAMEEEEE 😢😂❤

yall it's time to hook up with a royalty or something

@@hanluvs omg is that san from ateez in your pfp?

@@kid-ava YESSSIRRRRRRR

Ditto.

Mood! I don’t get super emotional a lot in films and this movie hit me big time

Why is that exactly where my late to the RWRB bandwagon ass is crying too lmao

That’s gotta be one of the most romantic lines I’ve ever seen, read, or heard, just hearing Kennie quote it, i was in tears💕💕

I melted so much. I hate that this film made me cry lmao

You're not alone with loving that part. The actual line in the movie "When they write the history of my life, I want it to include you", and then Alex responds "History, huh? I bet we could make some", which is probably THE most popular quote in the fandom (especially since it's lifted directly from the book).

As a Minnesotan, I laughed at that as well

That scene is SO intimate and romantic and honestly as a straight woman it made me realize that I'd never seen gay sex portrayed in that light and that made me so happy that the representation is out there!

I felt like I was witnessing a private moment 😭 I had to look through the gaps in my fingers

Lol he was also a prince in Cinderella (2021) so he just left Cinderella (Camilla Cabello) because he chose to be true to himself

Why are you everywhere? Please, stop stalking the same sh¡t I see. It's not funny, madame.

​@@undercoverfangirl5491Reincarnated as gay as a may pole.😂

I haven't read the book in a while amd the whole time I was like "did I imagine there was more to their family dynamic?" Lol Guess I wasn't wrong

The one that plays in the first opening of Shiki is my favorite

I scrolled down for this comment!

This hits me right in the parasocial relationship.

Did anyone else watch Trinity Blood? Kendall singing Dress brought back some memories damn 🥲

​@@sofiar16omg yess, I had a VIOLENT NOSTALGIA HIT and couldn't from the life of me remember where it was from until I saw your comment. THANK YOU

OMG same! It's now one of my go-to re-reads when I'm in a slump, never fails!

i literally just finished reading it like a month ago and the book HAD ME CRYING AT WORK LIKE WTF?! HAD ME ACTING LIKE A CRAZY PERSON IN PUBLIC 😭🤧

Love Simon is so underrated imo Ppl like to hate on it for no reason

100% but Uma Thurman giving advice on anal sex is the superior one.

I think it's cuz the movie didn't develop the romance between the couple which is why some may not like it.@@lilya3108

⁠@@fabianfleitas5499I love that nobody remembers her name she’s just President Uma Thurman. My favorite part she wants to make sure her son’s partner is not a Republican that was way more important than gender we will be having none that kind in her family.

@@lilya3108 i remember the hate being on the author being "straight" and writing about queer kids...when the author was just bi and in the closet. like... bruh.

😂 we’re in the same boat, I prefer horror/action stuff but I’m glad this movie is getting the hype

also i want to say when i was in college back in 2012 we were taught in poly sci that the dems would win texas in the next 20+ years. it was projected and there was a lot of data about it. especially with austin and houson. back then, houston had a gay mayor. austin is austin. and so many things looked so promising for the direction of our state in so many ways. then....Things(TM) happened and with the tea party and then the orange, etc. that changed the trajectory. but texas turning blue isn't just fiction. it's something texas democrats pray and hope for and work very, very hard for. we're just fighting against some very loud voices :(

same 🥹 this is one of my comfort movies whenever college gets too much for me i re-watch it 😭

This movie makes me feel like To All The Boys I've Loved Before made me feel. Very warm and giddy.

This is my the Idol/365 days, it triggers me in ways so rich and unimaginable I stopped it after 20 minutes lmfao. I'm glad other people like it though I don't think it's bad per se, just not for me, extremely so

Ditto, again and again. I now know many of the important lines too, and the way they are said, and still bring forth happy tears in just thinking about the scenes.

Ended up watching the movie and pausing on the Blexus election map just to see what it would be like

Iowa used to be a swing state and now we can't crawl ourselves out of the red hellhole so I believe in Texas. Y'all can do it.

EXACTLY like please we’re trying so hard😭😭😭

​@@ChameleonradioI've seen people insulted that Minnesota got pictured as red state in that map 😅 "we'll secede first than vote republican!" 😅😂

I literally had to stop the movie and call a friend to vent at how sexually frustrated I was. like damn maybe i do want a man for a sec.

@@christicat221b right? I’m like not even into dating that much and I was like I need this in my life. Whatever this is universe, please give it to me too

I literally went back on Bumble after watching this movie😂

Man wow this statement hit too close 😅. I've been single for about 2 years now and I'm truly happy. HOWEVER I've learned now in my 30s, a relationship has to bring that same happiness and comfort that's worth giving up being single.

@@ptboy18 so true. Like I don’t want a relationship for it’s own sake. I want a partner who adds richness and happiness in my life. Cause I’m pretty happy single. You’re right, someone worth the trade off.

They’d make SO. MUCH. MONEY. if only they weren’t cowards, lol

@@DearxMyxSongs Yea, I would actually support them, but they are nothing but another Netflix

Ooooh I am definitely about to cop the book then cause the movie had me kicking my feet, giggling and cheesing mad hard 😭

No fr the movie cut out like 75% of what the book had but i still loved it in the end for what it was

​@@peculiarissues3784they had a reason lol but i agree 😭

I always wonder what kind of gay media would be considered to have a target audience that includes men. My experience from pre-2021 queer media spaces tells me so long as it isn’t an erotica featuring bears and muscle gays, a certain group of people will call it “targeted towards [straight] women.” So these days, when there’s a lack of those heterocentric tropes, I can’t help but feel like every time I see this sort of comment, it’s from that small group who forgets there’s a larger group of gay men okay with being portrayed as being diverse and having feelings, and also a plot driven by something other than sex. 🤔 There’s also a shit ton of gay men who love cute gay stories.

@@InvisibleReni loved love victor as a gay teen

​@@InvisibleRenI think heartstopper is a good example of a show that people might accuse of being directed at straight women, but it's supposed to be for lgbtq+ teens and adults in general

@@InvisibleRen​​⁠​⁠I think it’s a generational thing too, like how Trixie and Katya talk about and are almost uncomfortable with Heartstopper. A lot of queer people in their 30s and older are genuinely not used to sappy queer media that seems to create an alternate universe where almost everyone is supportive and that isn’t centered around tragedy or treated like a joke

@@InvisibleRen Where did I mention something being sex focused? If anything, I’m tired of “queer stories” that’s mostly driven by sex. By “targeted towards women” I mostly mean “straight passing” performances, set in a mostly hetero-centric world, the queer characters lack much edge or personality, there tends to be focus on “coming out” or coming to terms with your queerness, but there also tends to be a lack of dialogue about queerness or the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. Then you have the “queer Oscar bait”, which is mostly tragic, distraught, filtering queerness through hetero dynamics. The majority of “queer/gay movies” which Hollywood puts any real effort into promoting still tend to fit into those two categories.

Monthsssss?

It's been less than 3 weeks since it was out lol?

What do you mean months?? The movie has been out for less than 3 weeks 😭

@@kaeyasl1tlol it’s commercials have been out for months, and I know this because I’ve seen them and thought “I can’t wait for a bad movies and a beat on this”

SAME

What was the reference?

⁠@@LS-fb3foin the beginning when she’s describing her hair, she speaks Korean and there’s a music video in the background. That’s Lucifer by SHINee.

sameee

its a really cute rom-com movie with all the tropes but doing them really right, it leaves you with good feels and considering it's a lgbtq+ movie which went number 1 on Prime means a loooooot of people watched it worldwide which is amazing

Omg so did I. I will not stand for rw&rb hate. This movie is glorious.

I know intimacy coordinators talk to you before and handle that part as well, in order to set the right mindset etc. That said, I'm sure I would nod like Alex did with Miguel talking about the Texas memo, get on set and fall in love, just to come back home and say to the mirror "It's fine, you're not in love, you're just horny". Then I'd keep pining for an insane amount of time, possibly endlessly. I don't know how those two moved on tbh
