how fast the night changes
shut up shut up shut up this pic is SO CUTE
LOOK AT HIMMMMMM
Still really annoyed by this by the way
I truly hope from the bottom of my heart they fucking explain what he meant by that.
Sir? Isn’t that the love of your life? Didn’t you say you loved him? How can you say something so serious and awful about the man you love? Bro what the actual fuck I beg you your finest pardon?
I am incredibly confused, okay? I truly, truly cannot find any explanation as to why it would make sense for Jack to say such a thing about someone he cares so deeply about.
I know this is revolving a lot about lying and betrayal and in the beginning Jack did threaten Joke quite a lot with “killing him” since he antagonized him for what happened five years ago. I get that.
But even then, I don’t think Jack truly meant it. He never wanted to kill Joke. He never wanted anybody to die, for that matter. That isn’t who Jack is at all, no matter what he’s been through
Sure, he toughened up. He became less cheerful, more guarded and a bit bitter, but his essence never changed. He is still the same good person he’s always been.
So I can’t figure this out, for the life of me.
“We might have to kill him”
First of all, who is “we”???
Second of all, why is he detaching himself so awfully from his boyfriend? the literal father of his child? his family? the man who, if I read that post-coital moment right, he wants to marry?? (all of those titles given to Joke by him, by the way)
So far, this show hasn’t been leaving any loose ends. Not major ones, anyway.
So I hope we get an answer to this because it’s genuinely bothering me to the point of insanity.
I really, really wanna be objective here and understand both sides, and I do, but this is a bit much.
Leave your thoughts if you’d like, I love reading them❣️
Thanks for reading!
they’re already so husband coded
they’ve been killing it with the foreshadowing and I am not liking these odds
so I just read a post from @everythingiloveblog and—first of all go check it out it has incredible insights and constructive criticism— I feel OP has made an incredible point which brings me to something that bothers me from episode 10:
Okay. I understand Jack and Joke have a…very unusual relationship. I know they’ve been through hell and back, together and apart, and their bond is stronger than ever.
And, ever since the beginning, they show us a dynamic that doesn’t promise to be all “lovey-dovey” or cute or anything like that.
That’s fine. We’re all here for it. Every relationship is different, and actors Yin and War have made it clear Jack and Joke’s dynamic was going to be different.
But, and this is a big, big but, there are things I do not agree with, and I’ll start by casting light on this moment right here where they say “I love you” for the first time.
Emphasis on the first time.
That was not a first time “I love you”. That’s not how you say I love you for the first time to your lover with whom you’ve been through hell and back.
I mean yes, they’ve shown it plenty, but still. This moment was, and I’m very sorry if I ruffle some feathers, to me, very bro-coded (there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just not very engaging for me)
And as much as I love their dynamic, as much as I love their characters, it felt incredibly underwhelming and lacking of a tenderness I was desperately craving after such a long slow burn. I know I may be coming from a more “romantic” point of view, but what’s wrong with a little romance?
I really would have loved them to be a bit sweeter, or more tender about it.
Another thing is the closing scene at the hospital; sure, Joke later tells Jack he was the one who betrayed, but Jack didn’t know that right away, and the first thing he saw was the man he loves in shambles, bawling his eyes out, visibly in need to be held, and he didn’t take him into his arms nor made any move to get at least physically closer to him.
That put me off, if I’m being honest. Aren’t they supposed to be in love and care for one another? Jack did say “I’ll only focus on you” and, yeah, he’s angry and confused about Save and worried about his daughter but it would have been very human of him to at least seek and give comfort to the person he loves.
They do have their moments, their chemistry is top tier, and that’s undeniable. But there are certain little actions that would be very realistic for them to partake in, and it leaves me a tad unsatisfied when they don’t.
Of course, I’m still eating this up, I’ll take anything. Yin and War did an incredible job with this show, and this is just a bit of criticism, done in my most humble, respectful opinion.
Thanks for reading! I know some will not agree and that’s fine! Let’s just all be respectful about it! ✨🫶🏽
kind and self-sacrificing like her dada
and a witty, cheeky little shit like her papa
truly, the most beautiful culmination of both of them, like they birthed her.
oh please don’t haver her dying
please please please please
this was hot and all but Yin’s little “huy” sound when War made him stumble had me wheezing for several minutes
now that I got he appreciation post out of the way I’ll yap about what I loved the most about this whole scene because was a fucking masterpiece.
1. He looks fucked out and I’m going insane. His heavy breathing was blasting through my headphones and, although that is something that usually annoys me during these scenes, it was done carefully and tastefully. It felt natural and real, not overplayed, not overkilled, but raw and perfectly genuine.
2. Anyone else devastated by the absolute adorableness of this moment? Just me? This was such a cute short thing that casts light into their relationship. They’re both actually very carefree people, always have been, even if Jack had a hard time coming back to his true self. This moment felt so intimate and relaxed. From trying to make the other submit, playfully and sensually, they both pause here and quickly take a breather to gauge each other and decide how is this going to happen before Jack takes the lead again. These are truly Jack and Joke.
3. Wall slamming. It’s one of the cliches I absolutely devour. Ever since episode 1 I knew they would be the kind to do this. I knew their NC would be like this. They want each other too much, they’re gonna take and take and take.
4. No awkward stripping. Just desperate. The moment characters strip have always felt so unnatural for me. This was done hastily and they stumble and it doesn’t look pretty because it shouldn’t. They have wanted each other for too long for them to wait another second in getting themselves naked. Joke is so desperate he struggles with taking Jack’s shirt off and he doesn’t care nor slows down. It adds on the realness of it all.
5. More wall slamming. Dear god I’m unwell. No further words.
6. He was stupid hot for this. They are possessed. As they should be. There’s tenderness and roughness at the same time in their movements and touches, casting light on the fact they love each other but are desperately hungry for each other’s body. They never let you forget that, not once.
7. Did you hear my screams? I was not expecting that. What I’ve seen happen many times on BL NC scenes, is that there is a high contrast done in between the couple when it comes to portraying desire. Usually it’s only one of them that is more vocal or physical about it, while the other takes it and follows. Yin and War have mentioned they don’t want their characters to stick to one dynamic, and it shows a lot in this whole scene. They both are perfectly capable of taking the lead, they both want to take the lead, they both want to submit. They are equals. And that’s always gonna be that way.
The power play, the switching, the rolling in the sheets, the CONSENT, the loving looks, the gentle touches, the rough touches, the pauses, the desperation, the desire.
they did it all. not one single thing missing.
they deserve nothing less than a standing ovation.
yinwar, you did it again
“this time, let me do it”
is anyone surprised they delivered? because I’m the fuck not.
still thinking about how War’s first instinct was to go for the neck, even when their director kept telling him to grab his collar.
it’s always the neck with them
it’s their thing
i’m chewing on glass
few more thoughts on j&j before we all die on monday
I do not care for Save, and Hope is still on my black list waiting to redeem himself for what he did to P’Jennie.
also this, which is equally if not more important
lets zoom in shall we
they are swollen.
that’s it.
you can move on
when joke pushed the bottle aside and said "yeah" i experienced the same euphoria i felt when pat said "no" on the rooftop
my hair burst into flames, y'all
holy shi i ii i i i ii t t t t t t do u wanna kill meeeeeeeeejekfckkdjx
the way yinwar just keeps on giving
I’m glad they had such fun doing this scene even if they altered my brain chemistry forever
pull the collar war (im dead)
holy shit another angle for that moment
no amount of gifsets will make justice to this part so ofc you get the video my lovelies:
look at them goooooo
you can see the desire from afar their acting skills are no fucking joke
the laugh of two men who know they delivered the best quality content of all time

true kings of BL everyone
the fulfillment of a promise made a lifetime ago
