aepete carried
yeah uh, I'm not ashamed to admit at all that this got a much higher score than it probably should be because I'm mostly rating it based on 1 couple out of 4 lol
aepete are just sweet. something about them just tugs at my heartstrings but not in a painful way. i love saint's acting, and i love ae's character, (who seems heavily demisexual coded to me, even if I would say that's probably NOT intentional lmao). I don't know. they're SO cute and maybe a bit cliche but this is one of those instances where cliche tropes can be done right. i'm rewatching an aepete cut of the show for like the 4th time as i'm writing this review. i really adore these two so i'm clearly very biased...
tincan are actually.....okay? the dynamic is kinda funny and is a good contrast to the instantly soft and sweet dynamic aepete settle into, but i still struggled to feel any actual romantic chemistry between the two. the dead fish kisses certainly didn't help, but they also actually make sense to be dead fish kisses in context so i'm not blaming those.....but yeah they still didn't help lol. their back and forths can be entertaining though, especially if you find Can's stupid antics to be more funny than annoying.
KlaNo.................................................honestly. my major problem with this storyline isn't even with the rape or unhealthy one-sided obsession, but because of how the rape gets treated within the show. the rape isn't cool either mind you, but what makes me actually Hate this storyline is that Techno's rape gets played off for comedy?? like you're supposed to laugh at his confused and ridiculous faces the morning after? i'm usually fine with darker storylines, and from TumTar's story it's clear that the show does know how to not play off rape as a comedic thing so them choosing to still do so is deeply annoying.
TumTar. something about them just made me......deeply uncomfortable. even if nothing happened here like with KlaNo's storyline. good on you for actually treating Tar's assault with the seriousness it deserves though, I guess.
