Listen. Benji And Victor Don’t Have Chemistry & Season 2 Proved That. Benji’s Storyline Was Sort

listen. benji and victor don’t have chemistry & season 2 proved that. benji’s storyline was sort of random? he never apologized to victor or isabel about how he handled that argument? he danced at one game and i’m supposed to praise him for being a great boyfriend?

“we spent a whole season with victor & benji”…..so? that’s like saying “well that’s how it was, so it should just stay the same!!!” this is damaging rhetoric. time means nothing. i fall in love with people every other day. just because you’ve spent a lot of time with someone doesn’t mean you know anything about them. i don’t feel any closer to benji than i did in the first season.

also idk i just can’t ever truly relate to the white, masc, cis gay, (upper) middle class character w/ his pretty tame home life - it’s boring and i’m sure that’s why i prefer rahim, who feels more realistic as a character. (not discrediting benji’s story - it was important to discuss, but it felt out of place). don’t even get me STARTED on the “what does me being white have to do with it?”

victor says in ep 9 [referring to his parents, but the sentiment remains the same]: “maybe that’s part of the problem; what are the odds the first person you date is the person you end up with?”

from that same conversation, rahim echoes the phrase “felt like magic” to victor in the finale when he’s speaking about their relationship.

but either way, i like this (tired) trope of a love triangle. give me all of the cheesy, dumb tropes….but make them gay. we need them, in moderation.

if i was a court jester i’d flirt with the king at any given opportunity. subtle at first but if he was interested and we’d share banter then i’d sit in his lap. then he would say i’m the funniest silliest little man alive and kiss me with tongue

boy: send nudes? ;)

me: *sends a picture of stars*

boy: um wtf is this?

me: its me. its us. its humanity, stripped. this is our true nakedness- we are painted with stars and consumed by the cosmos, only to come back again brighter than before. my heart is the sun and my soul is the void.
