Theory of Love is definitely one of the hardest BLs to take seriously that I've watched so far (NOBODY SPOIL ME PLS I am up to ep6 and hoping we're gonna switch at some point from Gun POV to Off POV and turn the perspective on its wet-from-water-bottle-showering head, but I don't KNOW for SURE so don't tell meeee) but one thing I'm really vibing with is just how well it captures the sheer disastrousness of disastrous gay friendships!!!
I don't love watching a bunch of dudes be toxically masculine @ every girl that walks past them (though I understand that this performance is the sibling to the boy craziness I performed at all the girls I was in love with in grade school), but I just love the dynamic within the friends group of like WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHY ARE OUR FRIENDS SUDDENLY ALWAYS MAD AT EACH OTHER??? WHERE IS ALL THIS DRAMA COMING FROM?????
The drama is coming from Disastrous Queer Friendship. From two friends who cannot/will not communicate how they feel for each other or why "just" friendship is not working. There is no escaping it my guys all you can do is ride the ship through the storm at your bros' side
#and to be very fair to bone and two they ARE doing their level best to ride that ship through the storm so far!!#no idea what's happening one minute to the next who is in love with who who is mad at who whose side to take#but they are gonna stay in it with their bros!!! support whoever has a crush on whoever!! keep the Gang together through hell or high water#i'm watching this very quickly for me b/c i neeeed that pov switch lol i am going to be fr disappointed if we don't pov switch#BUT DON'T SPOIL ME!!!!!!!!!!#theory of love#dear diary#it's jsut interesting because if i watched this idk 10 years ago i'd be very annoyed w/ both third and khai for a lot of their behavior#third being sooooo bitter every time khai kisses a new girl khai treating third's housework and support the way a spoiled kid does his moms#but it's all just so real in a Disastrous Gay Friendship (tm)#it is so hard to unblur and untangle all the different blurred tangled lines and actually communicate past the giant feelings#when third was like 'i meant to be the third thats his friend but i once again ended up the third thats in love w him. i'm angry at myself'#SO REAL!#he knows he is being unfair but he cant HELP it he doesnt know how to navigate his way out of the role he's caged himself in#friendship isn't a cage but it's real easy to convince yourself it is when you see your queer feelings as a threat to that friendship#and it's real easy to see queer feelings as a threat to friendship if you live in a society!!!!#lol this is prob all self-evident but i am just truly enjoying the messiness#back at it again in the shower with my clothes on. bawling.

6-10 for your pick of ocs! :3c
OGH FUCK FOR THE OTP MEME? beautiful mutual lexi i would die for you in real life just know this
im gonna do dante & beau (from my vampire oc collection)... i was originally going to do trevor n gabe but i dont think ive posted about them yet on the ol tungle and i dont give dante n beau enuf love as it is! so!
(im def gonna add trevor n gabe to my ocs page later tho i love them. Two Bros 🎶)
also im gonna interpret this as questions 6 thru 10 SO if i was wrong. dont hesitate 2 inform me
6. What is their favorite feature of their partner’s?
dante loves beau’s eyes. they’re always so expressive and he thinks they’re so RIDICULOUSLY cute... you can see them cloud over when he’s grumpy... beau loves dante’s hair lowkey (it’s floofy) and also his shoulders bc there’s still some freckles on them from back when he was human (don’t ask how he kept them shhhhhh)
7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?
beau, realizing he has Feelings for this absolute idiot vampire: [inhales] [DEEP SIGH] bartender i would like a glass of vodka
dante, realizing he has Feelings, 10 thousand metaphorical years after he gains them, possibly AFTER they date for a good while: 
Tumblr media
EDIT WHILE I WAS FINISHING THIS UP: actually i took this more in a “how they react” way than in a “actual physical effects” way so: beau starts being jealous at dante’s SHIT TON of odd friendships and occasional flings and just being an extrovert w 80 close friends bullshit (unlike beau who’s an introvert who’s busy trying to learn how to levitate) and so he’s a little more grumpy than usual at dante’s party antics [tm]. He mellows down a while before they actually get together in an exclusive romantic full boyfriends package way but yknow. also theyre kind of friends w benefits at this stage so that ? goes awry too?
dante doesnt notice anything bc hes absolutely oblivious and by oblivious i mean at some level he knows hes crushing on beau but he’s like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ nothing in life matters! 
(”Jules your lore contradicts” real life lore contradicts too so im valid)
8. Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?
beauregard thorpe please stop calling your boyfriend an idiot. We all know you’re just tsundere
(also dante was the one who started calling beauregard “beau” and it just caught on and beau was like. Ok fair eough. If dante calls him beauregard [not beauregard thorpe and not beau. just beauregard] it means danny’s in Quite an emotional distress pickle)
9. Who worries the most?
BEAUREGARD DEFINITELY dante does it for the vine and beauregard worries about his safety but he’s a little tsundere about it (just like “hmmmf. dante what did you do now” while like bandaging his skinned vampiric knee or something, just... just hold that pic in ur mind. it’s good) (”Jules does beauregard sound like solid snake or what” i dont have to legally answer this question. art can be interpreted in a multitude of different ways)
10. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?
they both do and they both surprise each other with that knowledge but i think its more special w dante remembering? bc for dante it’s just a nice thing to do for him but beau at one point (before he actually started 4realz crushing on dante) thought dante was a total airhead which he’s? not really? and it actually made him think Deeper about dante when dante was like “oh yeah he wants this or other” and YKNOW. YKNOW i dunno they’re both kind of disastrous 
tl;dr: Gay
Thank U For the first ask sent to this blog btw actually. wow. Big heart emojis
