I hate robot genres.. they seem too fake and staged😭 I want to watch this just coz it's bl but I fear I might…
girl... there are literally over 1000 (+ more coming ) other BLs and GLs of different genres on the market, nobody forces you to watch a genre you don't like. Why waste your time like that when there is already so little to watch all of that... unless you want to give it a try and widen your horizon with foreign ideas and concepts, that's never a bad thing for someones brain. But don't makle it everyone's problem when you still don't like it in the end. (I just say that because 90% of this websites user does that...). Just hit the bricks and move on then.
btw the "he's a robot/AI without heart" is actually a sentiment that gets questioned in this series. How meticulously, close to the original, can an AI simulate human emotions and body functions till they actually are basically a human actually feeling on their own? (Also in Anti Reset, which is the prequel to Eternal Butler but with a different couple. They have little cameos in EB now and then)
I need them to make spin offs about all the robots in this universe. This concept is so fun and adorable. It's like watching a 90s sci-fi TV series but in gay.
(no I don't give a f that this concept isn't new or perfectly constructed and executed. What matters for me is that the characters are charming and interesting and the story more unique than the regular BL)
tbh I would watch a special episode or second season, despite half of these characters were annoying. But I loved the mains and second couple also Dinneaws mom.
Maybe it is not intended to be seen as cute, maybe it is intended to be seen as you do. This story is all about…
Yes, I don't know why but he changed his plan at the end. He still wanted to be with Boss, but maybe because Boss did not agree to use the women as cover AND didn't get rid of Pie, he didn't see any other option. I don't know if you continue to watch (it's not bad, it's a wild story), but here is how it went down with Euro: The two occasionally met in the bar at night while Pie covered for them (for Boss mainly). Bit weird that Boss ended up dead drunk every time. Later Boss' dad got Euro and tied him up threatening Boss to marry Pie or he shoots Euro. Pie and Boss got Euro out of that and after that Boss sat in his tent alone crying. We got a time jump, where Boss was hiding from his dad somewhere, and when he came back Boss scrolls through insta looking at Euros wedding photo :/
(but tbh I expected them to not go all the way with PopTopten before MichaelTopten had their characters get together. They already got so many stupid hater complaining about PopTopten having like 2 minutes in Affair the series. As if they are betraying Michael or whatever... as if these guys aren't actors and can't have multiple acting partners at once (+ the three of them are friends and supporting each others projects).... I hate the BL fandom sometimes when people overreact so toxic like that. That's why we can't have nice things. Literally. My bubble on tumblr is super chill and more rational, while on social media there is always some imaginary war happening over nonsense.)
Maybe it is not intended to be seen as cute, maybe it is intended to be seen as you do. This story is all about…
He wanted to have a fun time with Boss and then ditch him after 3 months when he gets married. Which he basically did, and told Pie to take him over basically like a pet he can't keep anymore. He vanished after Boss got him out of the situation with his father... also he constantly made fun of Pies abusive relationship... I don't hate him, and I love Pop. But Euro was a piece of work and didn't fight for their relationship. (+ he wanted to use the women as cover without telling them. Even Boss hated that)
I love PopTopten but I am not mad that Euro x Boss wasn't endgame. (but I hope they get another series together)
Maybe it is not intended to be seen as cute, maybe it is intended to be seen as you do. This story is all about…
Yes that sucks and is a weird choice at the end indeed, I don't believe his father is better now. Pie is bit annoying and overstepping but at least tries to help... but Euro was an ass too. I am glad he didn't end date any of the two. But I mean they did show that Boss is irritated and annoyed by Pies bad behavior.
btw in the first episode it said it's based on a real story so it kinda makes sens that it's not a perfect rational happy end. It might also align with Thailands ethics and believes about forgiveness (Buddhism).
I love PopTopten together, I hope they get more project.
(To be clear I also love MichaelTopten, don't come at me with this stupid ship war. I would even love Change2561 to occasionally mix up all actors for fun little projects to see how it goes and maybe as challenge)
I really hope that the writers for this particular segment of Theory Of Love don't expect that viewers would understand…
Maybe it is not intended to be seen as cute, maybe it is intended to be seen as you do. This story is all about how to NOT do things and how things do NOT work.
I'm quite disgusted that in this day and age, there're still people out there that think that being gay can be…
But that exactly is the reason why they made this story, to emphasise that it does not work! Sometimes stories are intended to give the audience something to think about or realise.
In no way did they suggest in this show that this 21 rule thing is a good idea nor that it works. The two gay characters mentioned a few times that they can't be changed / cured. That's the lesson of the story, that you can not force love and sometimes you just have to step back and realise this isn't working.
Maybe don't judge a book by it's cover :/ not everything is bad intentions.
So again bi eraser? Tired of getting married to men because her fAmIlY sAiD sO concept.
But when there are no bi characters there is no bi erasure. The male character might be straight and the female one is lesbian. There are no bis here. And I don't see that as harmful. Just the presence of a male character who's in a one-sided interest towards a female character, has nothing to do with bisexuality. Even if all of them were bi, it's still not harmful imo when they don't end in a relationship because the feelings aren't there. Bi erasure means there is a bi character or an implied bi character, who's bisexuality gets denied at the end of the story or completely thrown out of the plot and character design (like in a remake or adaption). Or the whole potential existence of bisexuality gets ignored by the story or audience. But that's more in the line of "if you are straight you can not be gay" (because they don't think bisexuality is an option) and usually a characters flaw for thinking that way, rather than the storytellers (well sometimes it is).
I just think the term "bi erasure" is not the right one here. And makes it sound worse than what it is. Because bi erasure is discrimination. Guys as plot device for lesbian relationships is not discrimination. That's just the love triangle trope just in a queer setting. One can like or hate that.
So again bi eraser? Tired of getting married to men because her fAmIlY sAiD sO concept.
But that is not bi erasure if they potentially create a bi character who's potentially into men and women, rather the opposite actually. Saying that the girl who's into girls could never be into a man despite getting into a relationship with one, that is bi erasure (for denying the potential bisexuality of the character just because it's f/m now doesn't make them not bi). But in the case you imply, the girl who is into girls ending with a man because homophobic parents forced her, then this too is no bi erasure since the girl is not bi but a lesbian who got forced into something she doesn't want. But therefore there is also no bi characters sexuality to be erased sine there was no bi character, she is a lesbian.
If you mean the "he is only gay for the one guy" trope that trope itself is not bi erasure either, the hate of it is actually. Because a guy who was into girls so far, and now discovers that he likes a guy, is either bi, pan or demisexual (or whatever other option) but not straight and probably not gay. But treating that situation as if this is impossible, unrealistic (it is actually very realistic) and undesirable, that is bi erasure and maybe even biphobic.
Yall... this is not an action or overdramatic high school series, it's a story in a vacation resort with barely any guests. Of course it's a bit more chill. That comes with the location setting. We are watching the development of those characters and their relationships. And the struggles of the mom and her business. idk what some of you expect to happen here. Besides NC scenes most of you are only interested in anyways.
This is a series for when you want to lean back a little.
I sincerely hope they wouldn't now start to act as a couple in the movies and dramas in the future. Its gonna…
Arm and Porsche, Silvy and Mint or Newyear and Both act as couples in series too and they are about to marry (the guys)... It's not them being an issue for being public together, the issue is how fans look at them. Why should the actors step back and don't work together, when it's not their fault but it's people who can't distinguish between fake-dating fanservice and reality. Not every public display of affection or closeness is fanservice... a lot of actors are just like that without pretending (which can be platonic in most cases). Also they can show how much they want of each other. Even if they would publish a nude photobook or open an OnlyFans account, it's their decision and consent to give.
btw the "he's a robot/AI without heart" is actually a sentiment that gets questioned in this series. How meticulously, close to the original, can an AI simulate human emotions and body functions till they actually are basically a human actually feeling on their own? (Also in Anti Reset, which is the prequel to Eternal Butler but with a different couple. They have little cameos in EB now and then)
