Hi everyone! *waves* - new to BL (only discovered early this year) but making up for it enthusiastically! :)
Usually a lurker but I feel compelled to ask this - sorry if this is highly unpopular opinion - but I’m just not getting the same feels for MaxTul?! I watched manner of death first then together with me but didn’t even make it to TWM 2. Is there a recommended order to watching their shows? Like start with Bad Romance? They are so popular that I’m feeling a bit strange that they didn’t give me the same butterflies as MewGulf or MileApo / ZeNunew despite them being new pairs.
Dieheart MaxTul fans, please don’t shun me as an outcast - I am trying!! :)
Though I haven't been updated with MaxTul recently, let me tell you the reason why you aren't getting butterflies might be because you're not looking in the right place. Many MaxTul fans are their diehard fans not only because of their onscreen chemistry (which is obviously GREAT) but because of how they are in real life. They are an old onscreen couple like MewGulf, SingtoKrist, etc but where these couple are not as active together online, we can still see MaxTul being close friends (pls note that I use "online" because we don't know how close these ppl are irl). They are also one of the few bl couples who very explicitly support LGBTQ+ community.
Another couple who are like this is OffGun. It's not like they have dozens of shows (not that they need to, Not Me alone is enough to beat like 5 shows), but their real life relationship is so good and they're so genuine that you can't help but fall in love with their onscreen chemistry.
So if you want to feel butterflies, maybe checkout some of MaxTul's behind the scenes footage :) And if you still don't feel the butterflies, no issues! Everyone has preferences and you don't have to vibe with every couple, for example I don't vibe with ZeeNunew, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize they make an amazing pairing. Just not every pair is for you.
