#I get that if you're reading thot after reading a lot of modern bl it will seem weak and half-baked

every time I check the tags for the heart of tomas I'm like. ah. this place is filled with people who have no idea what this series is about
#just thinking thoughts...#seeing some 'thomas was a total manipulative bitch' takes in there and I'm like.#he didn't kill himself because he wanted juli to love him back.#he killed himself because he wanted juli to love himself.#and he realized that as juli was he couldn't accept any sort of love for himself because juli perceived himself as a sinner#and THAT'S why thomas killed himself. he was universally loved by everyone;#so he commited a huge sin BY killing himself and it's a query to juli. do you love me any less because of my sins?#and if you can still find it in yourself to love me despite the fact I killed myself.#can you find it in yourself to love yourself too despite your own sins?#sorry. thot is like. the biggest piece of misread media that I passionately love#sorry there was another take that was like oskar and erich will LITERALLY have the best dynamic and then not end up together?? for what??#and well bestie I hate to break it to you. even though thot is oftentimes called a forerunner of bl.#it is actually not about boys getting together with other boys. it is about juli's religious journey#I get that if you're reading thot after reading a lot of modern bl it will seem weak and half-baked#because you're evaluating it from a 'the characters must eventually become a couple right?' standpoint#but it's not about that. free yourself from your shackles. come with me.#we can find it in ourselves to see worthy stories not just about loving other people but loving ourselves as well#I feel okay saying this bc like. ONE thot blog follows me#usually I'd complain in the dms to my friends though LOL
