It felt like when a college AU fanfic is clearly written by a 15-year-old who assumes that all of the social dynamics of high school continue into adult life

100% agree. I watched it and I was like "welllll, to be fair, it's for kids" and then when I said that to my friends who liked it they were like "what? no it isn't"

"I allowed myself to Have Fun With the Boys because I was sure it was very heterosexual, but now this man that I perceive as insufficiently masculine is doing it too?? Have I been doing gay things this whole time??"

It's really good! Though this time I actually added the honey to the potatoes as directed and I think I prefer it without!

I quite liked it! The linguist in me was a little thrown by the odd accent choices and the bad ADR, and it could probably have stood to have about 15 minutes cut out, but it was suspenseful, surprisingly poetic, and a miracle of choreography.

Maybe it was like how Adam Driver carried a sheep in Vogue

I initially interpreted this as an addition to the quoted post
