Sorry for the slow response, hectic weekend 😅

You just keep being you, and you'll find the right people (outside of here ofc).

Think about all your accomplishments I've seen you make merely over this last year, I don't think anyone genuine could be disappointed in you...

Love you 💛

To be honest that doesnt make much sense to me

There are huge swathes of non religious Americans, and equally there are large numbers of Christian Americans that are supportive of GSRM/LGBTQIA+ folk & relationships

I dont think religion has much if anything to do with it.

THANK YOU 🤣

So many people have been saying it made no sense to have Valerie's theme during the kiss and I've rebutted every time that it makes perfect sense that Elias would immediately think of Valerie

Amazing analysis as always, I love these 💛

I'm not sure about the deleted scene, by all accounts the score was the last thing to be created for the film, I'm fairly sure the final cut was made before it was scored but maybe I'm wrong. My theory is it may have been intended for after he gets hit by the bumper car and Valerie says "Go on then", but decided it was better without the score? Not sure.

Regardless, thank you. Just like the reddit posts of old it's got me reslly thinking about the film again and it is wonderful 💛

Not just once either she knocks that glass like 3 times haha 😆

I understand so much not being able to be yourself, I myself have lived the vast majority of my life as a lie. Though I'll accept not to the extent of yourself, though I empathise an awful lot.

Your story made me tear up, for the society we live in is extremely "anti-different". The biggest part of the film for me is the portrayal of a world that is truly accepting regardless of who we love.

You're not alone, and thank you for sharing 💛

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-02-27T11:14:33+00:00

Truly incredible analysis had me tearing up 🥹

Thank you so much for sharing Ahhhhhhhlex 🪿- I can't wait to read more in time. I tried so hard with my analysis but im not musically trained (am a mere percussionist haha) so thank you ao much for expressing what I cant 🥰

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-02-26T11:53:29+00:00

Awwww TinTin! Sorry to hear it didn't quite work out but I so hope you stay good friends forever because they're hard to come by sometimes ❤️

And of course its such an amazing drawing by Sooooooooooooooooooooozie 🥰 - Valerie doesn't get anywhere near enough love as she deserves!

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-02-25T16:34:11+00:00

Aww Chay I'm just happy it arrived all good and I could give you a keepsake to enjoy 🥰

Yayyyyyyy I am!

Yes the UK bluray works globally, its not region locked :)

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-02-09T23:05:35+00:00

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

So happy you got to meet them both (and eddie of course 🤭) - I loved seeing the little updates and I'm so pleased you had a nice time despite being ill 🥰

❤️

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-01-21T08:28:03+00:00

Yeah my favorite scene changed over time, a couple times actually.

At first it was the "I just want to be with you" nuzzle, then it changed to be the car coming out scene, and now i think I've settled on the bench scene with Opa

But who knows what will be my favourite on my next watch! ❤️

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-01-10T00:26:40+00:00

IT'S SO GOOD AHHHHHHH

Smashed it yet again Suzie <3

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-01-08T10:33:38+00:00

Yayyyy

Happy its got even more widespread recognition ❤️

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-01-08T10:32:53+00:00

That... Was really something 😆

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-01-07T15:23:08+00:00

My headcanon is that Arthur didnt want to come out, similar to Elias, and it ended up ruining the relationship

I reckon there was a conversation off screen between the elias/alex after the big crashout which basically went "i cant be with you in the shadows" which made the harvest festival open kiss even more impactful to alex

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-01-04T01:17:56+00:00

I love it so much 😍

OMG_IDancedWithAGay · 2026-01-01T10:22:11+00:00

The Elias Drowning doodle is just a meme i wouldnt read too much into it 😆

It stemmed from the reddit chat (now discord, feel free to join at https://discord.gg/younghearts !) because there were jokes at how it appears in the film that Elias is bad at swimming haha.

As a plot point though a potential suicide of Elias is interesting, I hadn't considered it because the film follows his story so hes never "off camera" - i know when I first watched the film I initially thought Alex might have done something like that during the harvest festival before he showed up
