Rose's Day of Asks
Top 5 umbrellas in bl.
Have a great Day💜
This took me a minute to get to because I had to work and then I had to go and find screenshots because I have something to say about umbrellas in BL.
I'll get to my top 5 in a moment, but first I need to talk about how my top 5 are ALL in 1000 Years Old because that show is the only show with any vision.
Because 90% of BLs have decided that clear umbrellas are the only umbrellas (pardon my horrendous screenshots):
Don't get me wrong, I have no problems with clear umbrellas. I own a couple myself. HOWEVER. Clear? Really? That's all they can manage? In these queer shows, they can't even give their umbrellas any flair? Listen, I have a clear umbrella but it is kind of chrome. It's got style. It's got flair. It's got flavor. I need these shows to give me something. I digress.
There are a few that have a basic umbrella that is a dark, solid color:
Shoutout to Blueming though, that umbrella does look like the most practical and useful umbrella out of all of these.
BUT other than 1000 Years Old, the umbrella winner is Love in the Air with this yellow beauty that fits the characters and the lighting in the scene:
But for my top 5 umbrellas in BL?
5. This beauty:
4/3. Look at the COLOR
2. Absolutely obsessed with this one and need it immediately:
And the number 1 umbrella in BL? It can be none other than this beauty. Not only is it gay, but it looks like a phenomenal umbrella to use. That's an umbrella that will keep you dry.

idk maybe it's the ace in me, but i really hate how so many people treat "in love" and "falling in love" as phrases that are exclusively designated for romantic love.
because i say CONSTANTLY that i'm in love with my friends. that i fell in love with them. because it encompasses more fully what i mean when i say i love them. i don't just love them, i'm in love with them. i exist in that love daily. i am held together by that love.
and to act like that kind of love, or rather, that way of conveying love is only for romance is so sad to me. because i think if we divorced those phrases from the connotation of romance, a lot more people would be talking about being in love with their best friends. in the most beautifully and deeply platonic way.
i don't know where this is going but tell your friends you love them! platonic love is beautiful and just as fulfilling as romance, don't let anyone downplay it

i feel bad for raquel lee bolleau and i feel like what she's saying about the lack of transparency behind quiet on set is a bigger issue that the consumers of this type of content don't want to talk about or criticize. social media has led to a huge boom in tragedy porn and trauma porn about the entertainment industry but especially the children's entertainment industry, especially especially from the eras when the largest demographic in that audience were consuming it themselves.
it's already been problematic in itself that there is an oversaturation of unresearched and repetitive videos on the exploitation of former child stars. it seems like the creators and audience don't often ask themselves "have we gotten enough of this? do we need another take on it? is another video full of dan schneider rumors and gossipy forum posts really adding to the public discourse?" i don't know quite at what point it becomes exploitative that this content continues to be made, and be evergreen in social media algorithms. the volume, the reach, and the general lack of quality control are the evil triad. because we are far past the point where i really believe everyone consuming this stuff cares about exploited children. there's far too many people gawking and not reevaluating the systems of power involved. or, to put it more concretely: how many times do we all need to watch those clips of ariana grande squeezing the potato and spilling water on her neck? at what point is this just personally disrespectful and retraumatizing for the victims that for the most part we, the consumers of internet content, are claiming to advocate for?
quiet on set is the first time traditional media got involved in this niche. there is still a lot of value in some of the discoveries made by the series. but it does not have completely clean hands in this either. it does not feel like everyone involved in making the executive decisions cared nearly enough about the vulnerability of former child stars they recruited to share their stories, or hell, whose stories were told without their involvement, such as amanda bynes and racquel in episode 5. these people did not even give statements.
the focus of this docuseries was far too broad and not coherent enough at the end of the day. and they did not give enough support to all of the people they roped in to tell their stories about childhood trauma. i have a hard time trying not to be completely cynical about its whole production, because i really want to believe that many of the people who worked on it do care. not every individual involved knew or had control over the injustices that happened in its own production. but the executives? fuck em. they greenlit this thing, and probably incentivized the creators to make these episodes as fast as possible, because they knew it would be a cash cow. something as sensitive as THIS series should not be so poorly produced just because it will be a guaranteed smash.
