In a unique interpretation of a famous Korean folk tale, two women of vastly different backgrounds find comfort and strength in one another while fighting against a world and culture dominated by men.
happy femslash february, here's a 90 episode webtoon about a couple of teen gals being pals in terrible situations. there's a bit of cultural context here where the original folktale is about filial piety and sacrifice while the gay webtoon is about different ways these gals navigate different types of oppressive and coercive environments. to be clear, it does get to be A Bit Of A Heavy Story (there's the stress and stigma of poverty, there's being a teenage bride in a political marriage, there's dealing with sexualization and harassment, there's a brief reference to suicidal ideation, etc) but from my perspective it didn't get gratuitous with depiction. I find it a satisfying balance of messiness where the girls do approach the situation trying to manipulate it in their favor, but of course form a genuine bond and find happiness; it does have a happy ending.
I *really* love the extras because it's about two of the adult women and they're both. kind of losers lmao. the print version in korea has a couple of additional gag comics, but as far as I know none of them has been officially translated (😔).
also. look at her.

it’s so funny how much cis dudes (generalization I know) hate/dismiss fanfic. i had a dude ghost me when I said I wrote fanfic and then on the date I went on last night, the guy was telling me how much he wants to be a writer but doesn’t have the confidence/skill etc etc. and i was like, you might consider writing fanfic, it’s a great way to hone your craft and get immediate feedback blah blah. he didn’t even reply just instantly changed the subject. ok dude wallow in obscurity forever then

Sex scenes don't bother me as much as kiss scenes. When the characters are making out in a way that indicates it will lead to sex, I'd scream at the screen "Just take off your pants and start grinding under the covers already!" because I cannot watch them mash their mouths together for another second.
That being said, I'm not a huge fan of sex scenes because firstly—I can't take the movements seriously, and if there's sound effects, there's also a high chance of me laughing. Secondly, the squishiness of the human body is another thing I can't take seriously. When I first watched the Only Friends trailer, and I saw that scene where Sand thumbs Ray's tattoo, I thought it was a butt tattoo because of the way the skin bounced in slow-motion, but no, it's actually a hip tattoo; the human skin is just that springy on every part of the body. While everyone was going crazy because of the tattoo-touch, I'm laughing because the bounce was so pronounced.
Basically, kiss scenes ick me out while sex scenes are comedy.
omg that sounds like such a fun way to experience sex scenes tho!! i wish my reaction was more like that rather than convulsion. i'd much rather experience a comedy show tbh dfjkkdgj
also interesting point you bring up about the human body being so squishy. i never really thought about it but yeah. human bodies are just so weird?????? actually, only the other week i was talking with another friend (who's likely also ace-spec) about just how humans (and tbh even animals) will just have things dangling from them?? whether it be genitalia or boobs or whatever. like, those body parts are just... hanging there?? and technically even your arms but at least you can control those. meanwhile my boobs will just bounce depening on what movements i make and i can't control them and they're just hanging from my chest while i go about my life. like, why?? i want dog boobs where you mostly have just the nipples and they only really get big when i have an actual child to feed (i know human breasts also swell when they fill with milk during a pregnancy, but why do i have to have two balls of meat hanging from my chest even when i'm not pregnant?? who thought of this design??). coming back to your point of the human body being so squishy and actually yeah, i'm realizing now that i can't take it seriously when people talk about how hot boobs are precicely because boobs are so squishy and also so wobbly and just. how is this not funny to people? dkdfjdjfk
and lmao i remember everyone going crazy over the tattoo!!!!! i realized right away that it's on the hip but maybe that was bc i remembered the placement of it from the eclipse. which is also why that scene didn't make me laugh, i was actually too busy trying to read what it said bc in the eclipse we never got to see that tattoo up close enough in order to be able to read it. so while everyone was freaking out i was just sitting in my corner like "omg so the tattoo says 'beautiful'???" i'd been wondering about it for a year ever since the eclipse, so i was just excited to finally know what it says bc i'm a nosy ass bitch lmao
anyway, i love hearing about your experiences. it's so fascinating how varied the ace experience can be and how specific things affect everyone differently. and i think it's also cool to hear what things other ace people pick up/focus on while the allosexuals are busy drooling over whatever is happening on screen dkjkdkjg
the kissing... idk, i can't tell you why it doesn't actually bother me that much or why i might even enjoy it. although i do have to say, the act of kissing does look extremely weird. sometimes (usually during longer kiss/make-out scenes) i'll be sitting there and suddenly it'll hit me that "actually kissing looks SO strange, whose idea was it for kissing to be a thing??"
sometimes in my head the kissing just conjurs up the image of a fish opening and closing it's mouth, like so:
except, you know, kissing involves two people so in reality it's more like:

So I made another account on Netflix just so I could fuck Alex at every opportunity and still be "good" in my main playthrough but like??? It's just oral???
Like I think we're 69ing at the end there? And it still cost $40,000??
I mean "going all the way" has different meanings for different people, but this just kinda felt like a way for the writers to keep Alex's genitalia ambiguous?? Which is normally the way you wanna do things for a nonbinary character, but like........
.........I think we kind of have an idea.....

You're talking about the Turkish thing? It's been a while since I last saw the movie.
omg i forgot to answer this. but yeah no i am definitely not talking about that. the post was referring to the sequence on the isla de pelegostos. the bit with the cannibals, when the writers abandoned actual plot and character development to focus on a very racist depiction of indigenous people for laughs. its weird and uncomfortable and just so, so unnecessary.
