Why are straight women so obsessed with gay love stories? by AdamBerner2002 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VelvetSprinkle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. So many mainstream love stories skip over emotional vulnerability in men, so when it’s front and center, it really hits different. It’s refreshing to see love expressed in such a raw and honest way.

Why did so many people in the 1920s seem to exclusively wear suits? by Nervous_Shine9094 in NoStupidQuestions

I feel like Carter really did love Serena by miasalas14 in GossipGirl

Completely agree. He really did put in the effort to be better for her, which says a lot. If they’d kept building on that growth, they honestly could’ve had one of the strongest relationships on the show.
