Somewhat put off by the spoilers I've read about Mary and George. There's no doubt nearly all relationships in the British court were some level of sordid, but King James, to all intents and purposes, had genuine feelings for his three male favourites, most especially George Villiers. He was no Henry VIII. I don't know why they wanted to reduce the most famous and open homosexual relationship in European royal history to a comedy between a "cock-struck" old lech and a conniving courtier that led him by the nose and then betrayed and murdered him.

All evidence points to George at least being loyal to James (if you discount his love letters as simply sucking up to his benefactor) and even had a fond relationship with his Queen and his son Charles. He was in fact in France when James died, and reportedly cried when he heard the news.

It's even a little heartbreaking because this is right after Nicholas Galitzine played the closeted gay Prince Henry in Red, White and Royal Blue, who in the book is proud of the open and unashamed love between his ancestor and his lover, and the way even James's son Charles I honoured Villiers for accompanying him to the Spanish Court to ask for the hand of the Infanta.

“Actually . . . you remember how I told you about the gay king, James I?”

“The one with the dumb jock boyfriend?”

“Yes, that one. Well, his most beloved favorite was a man named George Villiers. ‘The handsomest-bodied man in all of England,’ they called him. James was completely besotted. Everyone knew. This French poet, de Viau, wrote a poem about it.” He clears his throat and starts to recite: ‘One man fucks Monsieur le Grand, another fucks the Comte de Tonnerre , and it is well known that the King of England, fucks the Duke of Buckingham.’” Alex must be staring, because he adds, “Well, it rhymes in French. Anyway. Did you know the reason the King James translation of the Bible exists is because the Church of England was so displeased with James for flaunting his relationship with Villiers that he had the translation commissioned to appease them?”

“You’re kidding.”

“He stood in front of the Privy Council and said, ‘Christ had John, and I have George.’’

“Jesus.”

“Precisely.” Henry’s still looking up at the statue, but Alex can’t stop looking at him and the sly smile on his face, lost in his own thoughts. “And James’s son, Charles I, is the reason we have dear Samson. It’s the only Giambologna that ever left Florence. He was a gift to Charles from the King of Spain, and Charles gave it, this massive, absolutely priceless masterpiece of a sculpture, to Villiers. And a few centuries later, here he is. One of the most beautiful pieces we own, and we didn’t even steal it. We only needed Villiers and his trolloping ways with the queer monarchs. To me, if there were a registry of national gay landmarks in Britain, Samson would be on it.”

Henry’s beaming like a proud parent, like Samson is his, and Alex is hit with a wave of pride in kind.

He takes his phone out and lines up a shot, Henry standing there all soft and rumpled and smiling next to one of the most exquisite works of art in the world.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m taking a picture of a national gay landmark,” Alex tells him. “And also a statue.”

Like all white liberals, Casey McQuiston tends to romanticise the crime against humanity that is royalty and also that house built by bunch of slave owners that has since housed a progression of genocidal war criminals. There's very little to like about any British monarch. But the relationship between James and Villiers is a significant part of gay history and there's no need to smear it even more than it's already been smeared the last four hundred years, contrary to the actual known facts.

Idk man. I'm sensitive to this stuff Ig. Maybe I'd be a little more positive about it if I watched it, but the trailer gave me "tee hee they're gay" vibes so Idk if I want to.

Edit: so it seems the trailer is misleading and the story is more complex than a "tee hee gay" comedy. I might watch it after all, even if the starkly visible age difference makes me a bit queasy. How tf is Galitzine nearly thirty and a babyface with those razor cheekbones?? Perfect to show how uncomfortable it looks for a middle aged man to get with a kid of twenty.

this scene here is shot like we're jaewon. yes, there are multiple pov shots in other kbls as well but this takes the cake. here the sole focus point is jihyun. theres no annoying background, not even annoying noise from other people. just the shower running. the cherry on top is the fact jihyun isnt fully visible but hidden- making it obvious those are stolen glances.

if they continue to deliver us more scenes like this idk how i'll survive because as a lifelong artist and someone who was raised with melancholic media the whole bl is scratching the right part of my brain and i already know i'll obsess more over it the more episodes come out

reasons to watch I Feel You Linger in The Air:

Protag has The Worst Day Of His Life and It Gets Worse, but don't worry he's a fighter

Love Interest is the most Green Flag man I've ever seen depicted in this genre. He's not boring, but he is so genuinely kind and compassionate despite the privilege he holds in the world of the story. So many of the choices he makes are such a breath of fresh air for love interests in these stories.

features some of the best written women I've ever seen in the genre. the two main female characters both have their own wants, their own schemes, their own agency in the story, even in a world where as women they have so little agency. one of them is a lesbian! the other is a cool badass! we stan

the other female characters are also generally well developed with their own mini arcs. yes there are multiple interesting female characters in this one!

James! he gets his own shout, he's just a cool guy

period setting! poetry! kissing in the rain!

we got genre twists: its time travel babey

oh and the Big Mystery gets solved by a drag queen who serves the most dramatic 'I saw! I saw it all!' dinner party murder mystery confession Of All Time

its on YouTube! with subs! for free!

#i feel you linger in the air #ifylita #khun yai #yai x jom #jom ifylita #thai bl #thai gl #queer drama #time travel #soulmates #trigger warnings: the two main female characters do both get raped not super graphically on screen but it is a part of their stories

Pete X Kenta 😌

This kinda reminds me of VegasXPete

I already assumed it when Daddy Tony left Kenta with Pete. And my assumption didn't took much time to become reality. But Kenta still like Pete and I'm waiting for Pete X Way content 😭
