What is it that with all the recent BLs that have come out and are currently airing, the tags are full of people who just complain or want to engage in moral discourse...like bruh, keep it in your blog! or tag it appropriately! Stop! dampening! the excitement! for others, dammit! I'm seriously going to have to withdraw from the tags which is a damn shame :( but it's too irritating to get pissed off at every other post. Like, they want a bland, fluffy, slice of life (not that there's anything wrong with that but) where everyone is a Good Person Doing The Right Thing that's easy to absorb without much thought, whilst the rest of us are breaking down and analyzing scenes, trying understand motives, theorizing future episodes... it just sucks
hiii anon!!!!
honestly some day /I/ will sit and write a think piece when i'm not fasting and have enough brain juice to do it about enchante and what i took away from it and why i so wholeheartedly loved it and why, yes, its become THAT show for me.
like. i'm going through the tags tryna find edits and gifs and people's work on it and positive feedback on the show and all i'm seeing and having to sift and scroll through is slander and negativity.
which. ok! i get it! yall dont like enchante lmao!! but people have been hate watching and spite watching the show for ages now and then slandering it in the tags and i'm just like ......... stop it??? just stop doing it???? yall call THEO childish and whiny and he's a FICTIONAL CHARACTER and yet look at yall irl and what you're doing. and i'm never this rude nowadays but quite frankly i've had enough and my patience is wearing thin.
anyway. if people cant accept theo for the character that he is, from whose pov the entire show is more or less based around, then drop it! if enchante isnt your kinda thing, then drop it!!! you've got suuuuch a huge pool of bls to choose from, not watching enchante cuts out just ONE option from the so many other shows you do have to select from. its literally that easy.
why do yall have to make people who like the show look so morally out of touch and imply how we're either bad people or disillusioned or stupid or fools?? like lmao as an adult at the age of 26 who is a teacher i can promise you i cant be what i am if i'm any of those things. people are complex and theo and akk are complex and have more layers than an onion in my pantry does. and maybe you dont see them and thats chill but others do and others appreciate them and want to talk about appreciating them. so let them without making them feel inferior in any way.
and i'm not even gonna LOOK at youtube comments or mdl or whatever.
anyway. to end on a positive not bc i need that more rn, forcebook are my sweethearts and did SO SO well and /I/ am so proud of them!!! and i'm so so happy to have met them on this journey and to have found such an honest and raw show thats about flawed people who are scared of love and loving bc of their own personal baggage and previous experiences with seeing how love can breakdown and can be BOTH selfish and selfless with love but know that they want to give love a shot bc they realise that what lies on the other side of their fears is something so great with the one true person that's been a constant for them through space and time. and i can't wait to see what's to come next for forcebook!!!!

[1/2] so i love codependency as a trope. the whole us-against-them, i-will-watch-the-world-burn-as-long-as-i-can-keep-you-safe thing really works for me. love it when two characters are like, i have ONE person, YOU are that person, fuck everything else. love it best when it’s acknowledged in-universe that it’s not quite healthy but they just do. not. give. a. shit. it’s my jam and i eat it by the spoonful.
so i love that akktheo are codependent, i love that akk is theo’s one and only person, i love that akk puts theo above everything and everyone else, even his own happiness, i love it because it’s 100% mutual, one is not more obsessed or more unhinged than the other, they match perfectly in their yearning and intensity. all they want is each other. all they need is each other. despite what akk thinks, theo has never and will never want anyone the way he wants akk. despite what theo fears, akk will never ever leave theo’s side unless theo himself asks it of him. they are it for each other
and yeah. some people might find it unappealing, unhealthy, toxic even. and that’s valid. codependency in real life is not romantic at all and it can be very damaging. but we all have tropes we don’t like. me? cannot stand power imbalances. not overly fond of enemy-to-lovers even though it’s probably one if not the most popular trope. but you know what? 1) no one forces me to consume content i dislike and 2) i don’t make assumptions about people based solely on the content they enjoy
[2/2] the other issue i think some people have with Enchanté is that it didn’t turn out to be what they expected. like, unlike what the trailer had led us to believe, it didn’t turn out to be a harem story where the boy lets himself be courted by his four suitors before realizing at the 11th hour that his pining bff was his One True Love all this time. i think most people were happily surprised by that. but then, some folks wanted it to be a journey of self-realization, of choosing reality over fantasy, of theo choosing akk over enchanté. but the reveal shattered all that. instead it turns out to be the story of a boy so lonely and so desperately in love that he does this one very stupid and selfish thing to keep the boy he loves by his side. and i can understand how some people would be put off by that, i do, but to me it’s chef’s kiss because friends-to-lovers is one thing. but true mutual pining? unhinged yet un-acted upon yearning? excruciating slow burn not because of contrived misunderstandings but because of a deep seated fear of losing the one person that matters the most? we don’t see that often. and perhaps for good reason, going by the many many people who find akktheo boring or frustrating or unrealistic. but me? it hits me where i live.
so anyway, this is the longest and most convoluted way to say that 1) you are not alone in your deeply unhinged love for akktheo and the equally messy and unhinged love they have for each other, and 2) you should not be made to feel bad or ashamed or guilty about it wtf. i love how much you love them because that’s how much i love them. i love coming to your blog to partake in this shared obsession. life is fucking hard, man. if these boys bring you joy and solace and a reprieve from reality then that’s great. that’s amazing. i want that for you. you fucking deserve it. - tee ♥️
hiiiiiiiii my love!!!
SHFBSICOAJ THIS ASK. CAN WE HANG THIS ASK IN THE LOUVRE.
like. HONESTLY. co-dependency like you said ISNT everyone's thing, bc it can get V V extreme sometimes. but i think the reason why i Get It with akktheo is bc ... they are CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS. they are ALL that they have. they are ALL that they have known. there's a whole other layer to it that being childhood best friends adds. and not only that. but they're NEIGHBOURS too. like. even when they dont wanna see each other, they still do. imagine being in love ... in THAT sense.
but yeah. i'm just SO glad that enchante went the way it did. i would have Not Liked it if theo had courted all 4 ambassadors and Then realised it was akk all along. by having it BE AKK as the ONLY ONE for theo from the START, where theo didnt give A Shit about any of the other 4, just makes it sooooo much more .... intense and sensical to me. like you SEE theo yearn, and then you find out he's enchante, and it hits that much more deeper. ALL THE WHILE as we see akk Go Through It too. its the pure ... mutual-ness of it all.
and i think. like. the thing is. theo in hindsight REALISES that it WAS a pretty stupid thing to do. he WASNT proud of it. there IS an acknowledgment on his part that this whole thing which was only meant to be a small in-house thing snowballed and snowballed and it spiralled. and i Love that theo .. ugh. i Love that theo is this MESSY character. i love it SO SO much bc of how it REMOVES HIM COMPLETELY from this first impression we have of him being this absolute Angel. i WANT messy. i LOVE messy.
anyway man like. idgaf what people have to say about me or anyone else liking enchante. we shouldnt be made to feel shitty or guilty about it. i'm just glad enchante isnt as Big as other gmmtv shows are bc honestly .... who needs that stress of fandom wars man when real life is So Damn Stressful as it is. so in a way im glad its lowkey and that it isnt ~everyone's cup of tea~ in whatever sense that may be (they find it boring or slow or book's french accent is bad or forcebook look too alike or that theo is a manipulative psycho or whatever). there's plenty of other shows out there to watch if you dont like enchante!
