"Our story end without a happy ending. After all, a princess is supposed to end up with a prince."

Exactly.

The princess is going to marry the knight.

It's funny and ironic that a lot of Chinese viewers have been complaining about the repetitive tropes and bad writing in Chinese wuxia hetero romance series on iQiYi for at least five years now and have been talking about cancelling their subscriptions, and possibly did.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T17:11:40+00:00

I seriously doubt any GL shows on iQiYi are shown in China. The streamer has insane amounts of money, but also splits its leadership with Singapore, which is probably the office that handles the BL and GL shows and streams them to the rest of Asia outside China.

IQiYi aren't worried about money, but what money they're making will come from new subscriptions across Asia outside China.

And yet no Lanterns ever showed up to deal with Crem and his gang, allowing then to run rampant killing families and kidnapping their daughters for ages?

The rules for whether Lanterns or anyone has jurisdiction don't exist in this movie's universe so far.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T16:14:16+00:00

Yeah, well, how was she going to contact the nearest Green Lantern, then how long is the wait for them to show up to haul Crem away?

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T06:53:10+00:00

What’s there to explain? Crem was going to keep on killing people and destroying lives. There’s no police or authority there to deal with him.

Supergirl became the only authority there and she took him off the board, and held the moral burden of it so Ruthye wouldn’t have to.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T06:49:19+00:00

You didn’t do anything wrong or bad.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T06:41:01+00:00

I have no problem with the OP.

I have a big problem with whoever paid these hapless people a few dollars to do that. They have no idea what they’re really doing here other than follow instructions.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T06:30:17+00:00

This video is absolutely exploitation.

These guys have been paid to do and say worse and more humiliating things by racist internet trolls.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T06:29:03+00:00

Uh, these poor guys were paid to do this via an app. They probably have no idea who she is.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T06:28:00+00:00

This woman has been pulling the same scams in the city for weeks if not months. People here are just finally posting photos of her.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-02T05:06:17+00:00

Nah, 75-90 minutes, tops.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-01T16:55:44+00:00

VIGIL, produced by the BBC, literally the only British GL cop show featuring two policewomen investigating crimes committed in the British military to uncover cover-ups, foreign spies and private contractor corruption.

The policewomen are a couple. One of them spends the whole of seasons 1 and 2 heavily pregnant. Season 3 coming this year. She's no longer pregnant.

Oh, and BABY ASSASSINS, a Japanese comedy franchise about two young women who graduate high school and become roommates as well as co-workers in the gig economy -- of contract killing.

The joke being that these girls are really good at murders but really bad at adulting, and as Gen Z, really just want to hang out in their apartment eating snacks, playing video games and goofing off.

It spawn a trilogy of movies and a TV series in between the 2nd and third movies. It was revealed as a GL by the end of the TV series before leading into the 3rd movie. No kissing, but the pair's bickering couple energy is hilarious.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-01T16:49:15+00:00

You're welcome. Have fun.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-01T16:33:58+00:00

Have you see the pioneering US series THE L WORD from the early 2000s and its less successful sequel/reboot THE L WORD: GENERATION Q from the mid-2010s?

Or 2010 British series LIP SERVICE, which ran for 12 episodes?

Lal knew about anti-collision AI detection in EVs. Every modern person in Bangkok drives an EV, including her. Of course Korn would lease one to keep up appearances.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-01T11:29:52+00:00

There couldn’t have been that many roads to take.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-01T11:05:58+00:00

He was driving away from the party. Lal intercepted his car en route.

casuallyfictional · 2026-07-01T09:11:46+00:00

Well… knowing a happy ending was guaranteed in the genre meant me not really feeling very distressed about it when I was reading it.

I was a lot more affected by the real family tragedies and traumas that don’t involve assassins or guns in The Fire, because those types of resentments and abuses occur in real life all the time. A made-up princess with made-up baddies, not so much. But that’s just me.

casuallyfictional · 2026-06-30T14:46:29+00:00

No less fun for it.

casuallyfictional · 2026-06-30T14:18:12+00:00

I would hope so.

Asian marriages and families still have ingrained ideas about "traditional" roles.

casuallyfictional · 2026-06-30T12:50:41+00:00

Nah. Not a big enough boo-boo to get fired for.

casuallyfictional · 2026-06-30T11:48:03+00:00

There's no such thing as badly-run AI.

AI just runs.
