Ngl im confused by who is in the main roles. Is the plot summary for only the first episode and then it does a timeskip? Or is it that it actually focuses on the parents?
These are labeled as Red Mansion but the subs say something about plums, plus theres several 1st and 2nd episodes with different images so if anyone who has watched this show can clarify here that'd be great, but if not I'm guessing some of these are just mislabeled for the wrong show? https://www.youtube.com/@reaperei/videos
bruh when that one firefighter was like "i'll take one for the team and chop it all up for you" AUGH my HEART like BABE damn if i was a firefighter and i had to trust my team to save my life every time i rushed into a burning building? i would feel so safe under her
In case any of you are interested in a broader range of titles:
Books - Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao (triad) ❤️ - The Unraveling by Benjamin Rosenbaum (large family structures based on polygamy) - To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose (non-monogamous culture) To Be Taught if Fortunate - Becky Chambers (V)
Non-MDL - She's Gotta Have It (there's both a movie and a drama for this. It's about a woman who iirc has a solo polyamory style to her relationships? But I think it first came out before all this terminology came around to describe these things (movies is from the 80s and directed by the famous Spike Lee)) - Siren (triad) - I Love You Two (French film, cheating to... idk how to define it but its a V) ❤️ - Parks & Recreation (its for a gag but there's an episode that has one main character in a three person relationship though I don't remember the structure) - The Wondrous Life of Caleb Galo (There's a bunch of supporting characters who are in a complicatedly named throuple that is open, very kitchen table style) - Steven Universe (there's a character that's like a mix of several people that are basically in a relationship with each other or something? Confirmed by the creator in a panel at Comic Con that it's a polyamorous relationship.) - Letterkenny (there's an open relationship-style triad between the protagonists's little sister and her two friends. She and the two guys also seek out sexual relationships with other people. I don't think their relationships is ever clearly defined.) - Please correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like there was also a random V in one of the very late seasons of AMC's The Walking Dead. ❤️ - She Hulk, one character in episode 3 has seven soulmates he is in a long term committed relationship with. - I Am That I Am includes many non-monogamous people (short film) - Our Flag Means Death. Throughout season 1 and season 2, Spanish Jackie is a very polygamous woman with around 20 husbands. - Andy and the Other Women (short film, garden party polyamory) - danaandthewolf (unnamed(?) youtube series)
Manga/Anime - Chainsaw Man (polyamorous lesbian with 4 or 5 other people, can't remember the exact number off the top of my head) - Yakuza Fiance TO BE CLEAR im NOT saying this example is of a healthy relationship, but theres definitly more of a culture of open relationships and non-monogamy in this one. - We Started a Threesome (married triad)
Webcomics Boyfriends by Refrainbow follows two different polycules. Its a college slice of life. Poly Bicarbonate Lifeforms by Deepti Megh is a memoir about a bicurious woman in an unrequited love with her husband/best friend and falling in love with a woman for the first time (who is already polyamorous and has another partner). Muted by Mirana Mundt (havent read)
Using the heart ❤️ to track stories where pregnancy is involved (a lot of emojis that I would prefer to use for it unfortunately do not load well on the list). Purely out of curiosity to see how common it is.
