bebe wood yuri enjoyers RISE UP!!!!
(we need a fetchen kissing on the lips scene)
this isn’t fetchenposting but every time i see lake and lucy i actually scream into my pillow briefly i forgot how cute they are
sometimes i see lake and lucy and scream into my pillow . they are so so cute it makes me genuinely insane
guys is it cringe if i oc x canon ship…
originally i was just thinking of it because they have very similar first names and i thought it’d be funny but the more i thought of it their dynamic was really cute
plus it was an opportunity to rewrite the aspects of love, victor i like the least so how could i pass that up!!!!!
so anyways my oc (their name is blake jung trust they’re not just a love, victor oc i just inserted them in it) x lake meriwether !!!!!! i gave them a stupid ship name n everything
if anyone wants to listen to me yap further i will just ask ^_^ i have a lot more details to spill :P
yap further about your oc ship! i know very little abt love victor but your writing's always top notch so,,,
EHEHE :3c FIRST OF ALL THANK U!!!
OC X CANON YAPPING STARTS NOW
if i’m speaking about this as if blake is an actual character in love, victor then they replace lucy. lowkey i don’t find lucy to be an incredibly compelling character so as much as i like lake and lucy together i’m perfectly fine with omitting her.
anyway, i did say they have a stupid little ship name and it’s true. i just ended up calling them bLake. i think it fits mostly because i can’t think of anything else ^_^
i think blake and lake meet through mia! they’d meet and start interacting mid-season two as opposed to at the very end of season two like lake and lucy. blake would be someone mia met and became friends with over the summer when they were both working together as camp counselors.
my design for blake (i’ll show them under the cut dw ^_^) was done so that they’re perceived as imposing by their peers. because of that, lake anticipates blake being an unfriendly person without even knowing them. that’s their first interaction- them just meeting through mia, and lake’s initial impression of them being negative.
then they realise that they share a class and start having study sessions together, which bring them closer. ^_^ i think they’d have a running joke of lake trying out new nicknames for blake whenever the two interact after blake proposes that she come up with one since their name is so similar to hers.
blake would sympathize very heavily with lake and her predicament with coming to terms with her sexuality due to them being raised religious and conservative. blake divulges very private details about their life that they’d never shared with anyone else to lake and it’s at that point that their relationship gets a lot closer and it would begin to be implied that something is developing than between them.
plus their height difference is really great
blake info under the cut !!!! ^_^
the oc in question !!! (the one on the right is more recent)
blake jung - they’re 17 or so (at least in the bLake timeline) and they’re nonbinary and a lesbian - they’re 5’9 and a figure skater ^_^
they’re a very quiet, mellow, and somewhat aloof person. i like to say that they have a bad case of rbf with a heart of gold. their insane amount of empathy mixed with their level-headed attitude works to balance out lake’s sometimes erratic nature.
fun fact if blake were a real person they’d look like hoyeon that’s all
bLake being their ship name that's so funny 😭 will be learning more about love, victor so i can fully absorb this lore but i Love it when characters who have less than flattering first impressions of each other end up becoming besties and i LOVE your art. the way you draw their hair and face and everything is just. perfect wow. be cringe and free <3
yeah like i said i started thinking about them as a ship bc their names are similar so it just fit as a ship name 😭 i could come up with something else (probably combining their last names) but bLake is funnier so i won’t
i’m very glad at least someone enjoys my cringeposting it’s very nice. trust i have so much more to yap about if given the chance ^_^ feel free to ask more about them bc i’m so invested in them now
i also want to use this as an opportunity to say feel free to ask abt my ocs i have two main ones ^_^ i introduced blake already but i can talk about onix too bc trust i’ll yap my head off about both of them
anyway i’m now a bLake (blake jung x lake meriwether) truther!!!! they are so doopid!!!!!
btw blake is 5’9 and my hc for lake is around 5’3 so. height difference am i right
also Eheehee :3 thanku for the compliments about my art hehe
bebe wood as gretchen wieners and bebe wood as lake meriwether are so different to me. like i know they’re obviously different characters but wow different styles of makeup is really equivalent to magic at times
gretch bebe
vs lake bebe
truly different makeup styles have so much to do with the way an actor comes off in a role it’s really cool . this is like one of the best examples for me that shows how different makeup styles can change someone’s energy
okay. oc x canon ship is getting a new name bc bLake is too nonspecific
i’m officially calling them jungwether just because i can!!!!!!

please, like and reblog if you save.
I'm sorry but why would Victor throw away everything he's been through with Benji for Rahim who he had one amazing day with :// They just did Benji dirty this season and him and Victor should work something out in my opinion.
My thoughts on Love, Victor season 2 cause I have too many feelings and I need to talk about it.
Disclaimer No. 1. This has massive Love, Victor season 2 spoilers so pleaseeeee leave if you have not watched it. Also if you do not want to engage with it.
Disclaimer No. 2: This is my opinion on the season so if you don't agree please leave. Don't come for me. I don't mind having proper discussions but I don't want unnecessary arguments so thanks.
There are a lot of unpopular opinions so as I said earlier if you don't want to be respectful, please leave.
I absolutely adoooooooored this season. I think it met its potential quite well and I liked how it panned out. I felt it was brilliantly done. I know a lot of people don't agree with me but I actually saw that it was gonna be an acquired liking but yeah.
THIS POST WILL BE GETTING TO THE MORE MAJOR PARTS OF THE SEASON. MEANING VICTOR, RAHIM, BENJI AND VENJI.
Let's start with individual breakdowns.
Right of the bat we see that this season is gonna deal with Victor with the rest of the world. The first season was very internal and dealt with his own stuff in his own head. We very minutely see his interaction with different people and how that internally affects him. This season was more of how the outward world dealt with him. His intersectionality of being a Queer POC that plays sport really adds to the discussions within the queer community and the sense of being outcasted within the community. I liked how he was able to talk to Andrew about the whole being 'the most non gay gay' and also not being 'gay enough'. It was really nice and I loved that interaction. I also liked the fact that they discussed the whole aspect of being stressed about the first time and such.
I liked the full cabin sequence in terms of his anxiety about having sex for the first time. That too with an experienced gay. It all just makes sense and makes me glad that it was addressed.
I loved him as the 'mentor' for Rahim and the fact that they could relate to each other about being POC with religious parents I think was the exact push needed for the discussions to move forward.
I think his conversation about his queer experience as a POC with Rahim was something I have been waiting for since the first season. He definitely should not have revealed Benji's secrets without talking to him and that was a mistake on his part and something that will affect Venji in a long while. But the fact that Rahim and Victor relied on each other was not surprising.
I am going to address the rest of the aspects of Victor with regards to his relationships with each of them after their individual breakdown.
Now moving forward to Benji.
I know its gonna be a hard truth but I think his character was the one that I liked the least. And this is specific to the fact that his motivations are hidden from us. He is not really open to talk to us (through victor). I had the same problem with him in the first season and was hoping he would be fleshed out more. We only see him as an extension to Victor and just his boyfriend. Even then, we barely see him communicating with Victor or anybody else all through the time. Also, that being said, I have seen a lot of people say he was OOC but I think he was actually not really OOC. The way he reacts to Victor's mom's reactions although they come from a place of wanting better for Victor, he doesn't really think twice about why Victor must not be reacting or doing so subtly. He feels very unsympathetic on many occasions and that is a pattern we see from season 1.
I'm not saying he didn't have any troubles of his. Cause he definitely did. We know that with the drunken driving episode and the AA meetings and the strip club story. They were all awful, but that doesn't excuse him from trying to understand where Victor is coming from. Maybe having a little more context and communication about him would make us understand him and his motivations better.
This season specifically, I actually found him to be very token-ish of a gay guy which is weird because it has two other gay characters (or 5 based on the multiple cameos).
Now getting to Rahim.
I LOVED HIM. He is, I think right behind Victor in my heart. I fell in love with him barely minutes into the episode. His coming out retelling was the most wholesome of all things. I loved the friendship Pilar and him shared. I'm surprised we didn't get a scene with Pilar teasing him about his crush on Victor but I think that was because the writers didn't want to make it obvious. I felt he had a character of his own that was explored more than just coming in between the main couple. The one episode where they skip school we found out more about him and it was intriguing to say the least.
He is a Muslim gay boy who likes to put nail polish and fashion and believes that his parents will not accept him. It is soo refreshing to see this theory get denied and the parents being completely okay with it. Next, Victor and him have an interesting relationship between the two. When victor needs his mind to be taken off of things or talk to, Rahim does just that and when Rahim needs some advice or just some support Victor does that.
NOW VENJI.....
I think this is again... a little unpopular right now, but... their relationship was not that great this season. And I.... kinda expected that to happen. That is for multiple reasons. They spent 50% of their time making out, 40% of it fighting and 10% communicating. Were they flawed? Absolutely and I get that. They had massive miscommunication problems. Trust issues and everything under the moon. It is to be expected especially cause they are teenagers and they are not mature enough. That being said, flaws are not when you are dismissive of your boyfriend's issues because he doesn't fit your ideal gay stereotype. Flaws are not when you say your boyfriend is too much for you to handle and say something like you are the only one taking care of them. That's manipulation. Flaws are not when you don't realise that the context your boyfriend comes from is very specific to himself and if you want to do better you need to be open to listen to where he is coming from instead of getting offended by him saying you are white when you don't get the specifics. You need to understand that by saying you are white, he is not dismissing your experience with alcohol addiction and with your father taking you to strip clubs and shit. He is just saying you don't get where I am coming from. The reason I say I saw it coming is because even in season 1 we see Benji go ahead with what he wants to do instead of thinking about the consequences. Case in point the kiss on Victor's birthday. Victor told Benji that his grandparents are homophobic and still he kisses Derek. Because it is fiction and a teen drama the consequences weren't dire and it came to be a growth point for Victor but just imagine if the consequences were different. If it ended up being something worse, what then. I feel this season we are especially able to see Benji out of the rose tinted glasses that Victor had last season.
That being said I admit that Victor was also not entirely good. He did breach Benji's trust. I don't see how they can go back from there. He didn't communicate from his side as well, but just think of it like this if someone says you are too much to handle would their partner actually be willing to communicate what's bothering them?
The things about Isabelle walking on sex. If it was my house anything remotely sexual, irrespective of the gender would have been met with shame and anger just as Isabelle did. They are 16. The little brother was right next door. In any way whether it is straight sex or gay sex it would still have been met this way I feel.
So yeah as much as they are supposed to be the main star couple of the show they lack in almost every aspect. So yeah...
Now coming to VICTOR X RAHIM
Straight off the bat, I don't know if I watched the same season that others did because I actually felt the chemistry between them was actually more than Venji had in scenes other than the make out ones.
Also, they come from similar backgrounds. They understand each other much better than any white dude could ever understand them. They actually talk and communicate.
Rahim and Victor on the other hand are both new to this whole being gay, out and proud thing and I feel they would understand each other better. I think a big problem people have with them is that the writers fall back on the love triangle trope and stuff but I like it in this instance. It made sense to me.
Why? Because they are teenagers. Also, the gay pool in schools are so small and people are bound to explore. Like Victor said, what are the odds that you end up with the first person you start dating?
Also, regarding the wedding. Benji said he would not come, so I don't think he has the right to question who he came with. It was completely innocent on Victor's part because he did invite Pilar first. I guess it is the whole first slow dance that was the betrayal and as much as their chemistry was palpable I feel Benji should have allowed to here him out. I don't know maybe you all feel different about it but I feel that is not a betrayal on Victor's part. What could have been a betrayal was the kiss. I know it is once again a repeat of the cheating stereotype and I had hoped that the showrunner's did it a bit differently but well it has happened. (But again the chemistry in that kiss!!!)
What do I want to happen next. I definitely ship Victor x Rahim more than Victor x Benji. I would love for it to be Rahim behind the door but it feels unlikely that the showrunners will actually do that so my hope is even if they get together, Benji and Victor realise just how much they don't fit with each other and break up amicably and then Victor x Rahim gets explored and slow burn happens.
I don't want Victor to be the only one apologising if Venji do get together again. For whatever small amount of time. I need them to communicate better.
So yeah..... this was long and what I thought of the main portions of Love, Victor. It's really ironic how people love everyone other than Victor in a story about him and care for all the stories other than him.
It's a sad reality that we are not the lv karaoke version of Holy is never going to be given to us officially and that makes me sad everyday
Me when Felix breaks up with Lake because she’s too embarassed to be seen with him and he’s too aware of his WORTH to tolerate that:

Go to prom together. Do the long distance thing in college, and… Fumble around awkwardly with FaceTime sex. But then you beat the odds. You actually wind up together. Who do you see?
