I really really love the HeroxVillain dynamic and when media explores how gay it is and the weird love/hate relationship they tend to have. SUCH AS:
- Lego batman x Joker
- the Genghis Khan music video (iconic…one of my fav things of all time…this is EXACTLY what im talking about)
- Megamind touches on these themes a bit, though not as blatantly (or should i say…gaytantly..even so..Megamind is a bi icon)
- Wander x Hater
Does anyone know of any other media that has this dynamic? Its my favourite so I want to know if there’s more!
i ugly cried at this show
What if Mo knows that he is gay and just think that He Tian joking around with him?
I doubt that Mo is aware of his sexuality, anon-san. These boys are what, fifteen y.o.? That’s just about the age when teens are discovering their sexuality, and I doubt that Mo can say with 100% certainty that he’s gay or straight or bi or whatever else. “Knowing” that he’s gay would imply that he has experienced attraction to the same sex before, which I doubt is the case. With Mo being a victim of bullying, I think that he probably has troubles feeling drawn to others and developing emotional attachments. That’s just part of how psychological defences might play in his case.
Here’s what he says supposedly about girls that he likes:
And here’s how he reacts to He Tian talking about liking him more and more:
Not to mention his reaction upon seeing that infamous dikpik. Which was pretty vivid, lol.
So, again, I really doubt that Mo is aware of his sexuality or that it is set in stone. Yet.
As for playing around part, that’s spot on. With Mo being suspicious and constantly on his guard, it’s a likely mentality. Victims of bullying quite often develop some form of paranoia and believe that the world is hostile. He certainly believes that He Tian is bugging him out of boredom, and all of his gestures of kindness are but another ploy. Maybe he thinks that HT gets kicks out of making a street kid do his house chores and etc. Hell, he probably believes that all of HT being nice to him is yet another way for HT to use people (like types of She Li did): get close to Mo, get past his defences, and BAM! backstab. I think OX stressed this during the subway scene, where the girl bumped into HT. After that, even HT noted that Mo looked down.
OX used here deliberate framing: we are shown MGS face on purpose. The reason for this is that Momo (against his better judgement) gotten used to HT’s attention, and HT suddenly taking off to chase a girl just reminded him of the fact that he is (in Mo’s perception) just a plaything for a spoiled wealthy brat. That’s why he looks so frustrated and pissed here. I know that a lot of people interpret it as jealousy, but to me, it rather looked like Momo thinking that he’s just a toy. This feeling was exacerbated by the fact that Momo accidentally let it slip that he’ll remember He Tian forever. To someone like Mo, it was akin to showing underbelly.
So yep, he does believe that HT is toying around with him, but it doesn’t necessarily carry romantic/sexual subtext.
I hope this answers the question~

Mr Darcy:
Lizzie: “That you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment! That you ruined, perhaps forever, the happiness of a most beloved sister! That you -”

Not this.
So wait...
A “simple” spy is someone who works for the enemy. This is Snape as a Death Eater trying to spy on Dumbledore.
A double agent is someone who seems to work for the enemy but is actually betraying them with them thinking the spy is loyal. That’s Snape during the 1st Wizarding War, betraying Voldemort and working for Dumbledore.
A deep-cover agent is a person who still works as a spy, for a prolonged period of time (months or years), infiltrating the enemy and taking posts of responsibility and importance in the war, gathering precious information while cutting off all communication with his side of the war until they are “woken up”. That’s what Voldemort thought Snape was doing in becoming a member of the Order, a Potions Professor and Dumbledore’s (fake, but in reality not fake) spy, only to reveal himself as a true Death Eater after all.
A triple agent is someone who acts as if they betray the enemy but who’s really working for them, making the target believe a (false) tale of betrayal. That’s what Voldemort believes about his spy after his resurrection, when Snape tells him he’s “spun a tale of deepest remorse” to Dumbledore.
A quadruple (?)/fourth-time agent is someone who says that they faked a betrayal to the enemy but who’s really betraying them: they’re “faking a tale of false betrayal to the enemy”. That’s Snape who did betray Voldemort and made him think he convinced Dumbledore of a betrayal that was fake... although it was not.
Dammit Snape that’s a lot 😰
The fact that these two scenes were edited next to each other in the documentary in this exact order tho
