Role Reversal (RR) Drama Lovers Club

 Simi_Tutu:

One idea maybe  we could create a separate forum for our club members who who are participating in other body watches? This would keep it focused on our club while minimizing off-topic discussions. Plus, it could serve as a centralized spot for all our notes on these non-RR series, which would be really helpful! 

That does sound like a good solution!! Since buddy-watching was your idea, feel free to start the thread and I'll link it in the index! <3 Otherwise I can do it too or someone else, no worries 

 Simi_Tutu:

How about we set up a request form so people can suggest additions to the list?

Oooo, I like the sound of that- what are we thinking? I was thinking maybe we could have like a voting list where we can add airing, recently aired, and upcoming RR titles with the requirement that every addition be paired with a comment so as to 'validate' it? But idk, let me know! 

 Simi_Tutu:

you're the one editing these posts

Ehehehe, yes xD I have a bad habit of biting off more than I can chew, oops...

 Simi_Tutu:

Sorry for throwing all these ideas your way

Not at all! I love hearing your ideas and finding ways to make the club more into what everyone wants! ^^ 

 Simi_Tutu:

You're absolutely welcome! I really appreciate all the hard work you're putting in to keep this club running so smoothly. Thank you for everything you do!

Thank you so much for the kind words, that means a lot 💗💖🥺

I'm genuinely so happy I made this club. I was shy at first and had this club on my profile much like the Dark Side club but Ree encouraged me to make it and honestly it's been only pleasant since. I'm quite surprised we have this much activity and I'm really loving the vibes we got going on here- it's so cozy here

Alsooooooooooo, kinda a side note cuz I already have the template cooked- Would a bingo be better for (popular) RR titles or RR tropes? Or both? XD 

 Simi_Tutu:

I just need a little assistance in figuring out the correct Sub-Category in the community tab

I think the same one this one is in. So that'd be General Asia Forum ^^

 Simi_Tutu:

but we will have to put our buddy watch on hold for me to get things in order

Yeah, no worries at all! Take it easy

 Simi_Tutu:

An idea for setting up currently airing  dramas

Oh wow, that's very thorough! Definitely more elaborate than what I got going on rn! I'll work on setting it all up in the index tomorrow <3 Thank you so much!!

 Simi_Tutu:

Non-Currently Airing Drama

This would be for titles that recently finished airing (like say Moonlight Mystique), yes?

 Simi_Tutu:

At the end of each year, we can move these titles to the master list to prevent massive posts on the first page

That's a good idea! 

 Simi_Tutu:

I'm a bit unclear on what the bingo involves

Me too, tbh but from what I gather it goes as following... The former which is related content would be something like this or this, where popular or voted on RR titles would be added into the bingo and you check off which you watched in hopes you get a bingo xD The latter would be probably title (drama/movie) specific and regarding common RR tropes kinda like this- Example: Set in a matriarchy, Puppy ML, FL is a fighter and stuff like that- does that make sense?

 Simi_Tutu:

This helps a lot thanks  do you have any suggestions on what to title it? 

Hmmm, you can go either easy to understand and straightforward like "RR Club Watch Party" or "RR Club Off-Topic" or you can go with something more thematic and quirky, such as "RR Club Tea Party", "RR Club Gossip Corner", or "RR Club Side Quests" 

Since it's related to the club, I'd keep it mentioned but you can also drop it and keep the RR or just make it something else entirely ^^

 Simi_Tutu:

Haha, yeah I'm used to staying organized for my job. I often assist others in streamlining their projects.

I applaud you! Staying organized isn't easy xD 

 Simi_Tutu:

We will only add dramas for the current year.

Based! ^^

 Simi_Tutu:

One of the examples listed is "The Flu," I have so many questions, haha!

I just checked and that's an actual movie, LMFAOOO

 Simi_Tutu:

I really love this idea! "The Role Reversal Trope Bingo Card".  xD

Awesome! I'll get to work on it :3 Let me know if you got ideas on what to include <--- This goes for everyone who sees this btw, group effort 💪

Pokefriends! Anyone else watch Family Matters and found it to have RR subtext? Family role reversal, anyone?? Anyone???

Okay so firstly we got the two leads who are married. They're seriously giving Girlboss x Malewife, Warm Man/Cold Woman, & Power Couple (but ultimately more egalitarian than RR imo). They're the "Us against the world" kinda deal and FL is the more badass, stronger, and cooler of the two (she's also the MAIN MC). God, she's so protective of her family, it's lovely 🥺🥺

Then we got the kids. SFL and TML. She's the rough, angsty, done-with-everyone's-ish type while he's a very poorly adjusted cutiepie. They're both definitely strong individuals but SFL literally kicks so much butt and is snarky, rude, and just the usual edgelord not often seen in female characters. Slight spoiler on the family dynamic, mostly the kids with the mom: She's also got beef with her mom, she loves her dad but finds her mom to be dangerous and messed up and it's giving a mother-daughter dynamic I haven't often seen before. Meanwhile TML is a total mama's boy, all smiles, affectionate and looking up to her and like? Just look at them

Also the whole (spoiler) Badguy organization where it's run by The Mother and The Fathers are the children handlers? Like, even the organization was giving RR xD

It seems like there's a wheel of time-like theme where the women (FL and SFL) have powers while the men (ML and TML) do not but they do have an influence over the women, mostly as protectors(ML)/caretakers(SML). This wasn't really addressed a whole lot until the very end so we'll have to see how it continues but seems promising.

Definitely on the more subtle side but I was surprised to find any at all. 

Side note: My RR list is sitting at 123 titles xDDD 

 Simi_Tutu:

 Could I use your post on the first page of this group as an outline for our non-RR buddy watch forum? 

Absolutely!

 Simi_Tutu:

OK, I'll start working on it now!

alrightyyy, let me know if you need anything else ^^

 Simi_Tutu:

Also, I'm  impressed that's a big number XD

I know right? Kinda impressed I managed to get such a number in a bit over a year, hehe. Curious how many RR titles everyone here has watched

 Simi_Tutu:

Now, I want to make a list of series I've completed
