Ty - Wit and Folly

You're proving my point. You're being nasty. You're a bully. You jump onto other people's comments and try to fight them. I'm pointing this out to you. You engage people in bad faith. You're not a good person. I will absolutely block you and I will also report you.

The irony here is that you, @ninjarette, are a bully. You are insulting and infantilizing everyone who dares to enjoy this drama, and you're basing your criticism in real-life-"if this happened to me"-logic. Newsflash: consumers of fiction don't actually want these things to happen to them in real life. You should know better.

Booooo go away

Yes! Female power fantasies often have heroines who knowingly deal with the beast - they're not being fooled or taken advantage of. The heroines in these stories are smart, capable, express their own agency, and often experience a sexual awakening because they own their own bodies and don't allow the beast in except on their own terms. It's quite literally about taming the beast inside yourself because the beast often represents the woman's animus.

agreed. I'm actually surprised at how critical people are being, although "bad acting" has never actually bothered me. I think I can see past it if the actor or character is endearing enough, and Bright / Thyme certainly is, both character and actor are incredibly endearing.

*waves* HI MC!!!

I'm not usually on here, but MC told me about some of the discussion and I got curious! Always really glad to see the MJ love!!

MJ is just incredible. I love him. I think they merged Thomas into Hana's character. Which probably means she'll come back!

totally subjective, but I think subtlety is for the weak. there's so much symbolism and metaphor throughout. I feel respected as a viewer, but also so appreciate them being honest and transparent with what they're telling and how they're telling it.
