#seven years is like. at least one whole age. it's an eternity. tectonic plates have shifted

[itwoodbeprefect]

sometimes a piece of queer media is very obviously cheap and also bad and outdated in ways that aren't even particularly interesting, but it's just so obviously from The Before Times that it's painfully difficult not to be charmed by it anyway

#now if i admit right here in the tags that in this particular instance i'm talking about something from 2017... on a scale from 1-10 #how dramatic does Before Times sound? because personally i think that in terms of queer media #seven years is like. at least one whole age. it's an eternity. tectonic plates have shifted #but also maybe together with me (the media in question) just reminds me a ridiculous amount of a 2008-ish german soap #it definitely somehow feels. older than it is. which is not good. but i repeat: it's charming to me!! #it's many flaws in a trenchcoat and i would never recommend this to anyone but i think i love it. very irrationally so. #(though i AM largely skipping over both the age gap AND the teacher/student romance subplots. yes those are two separate relationships) #(which. frankly. is a method of watching a thing that just reminds me even MORE of the german soap. so there's that) #*
