I don’t know why but I really hope that the man who supported his bride’s relationship is doing alright or found someone else and is happy.

[@kassandracarter6054]

Yeah, I kinda want a part two where he finds someone new that loves him and we see kinda the same ending where the topper him and his new bride are paired similarly in matching or if it has to be kept on LGBTQ+ brand, he discovers he's bi and gets with another groom, that’d be cool too

[@DingusDungus]

Lol I was kinda hoping he marries the villain. But then the villain died.

[@Bonnie_Mairead]

I like how the one groom is super angry, but then the other one is just mostly confused, and all he knows is that he cares about the one bride, so he's willing to let her go and get with the other bride because he knows that's what she needs most. Like he's confused, and willing to understand, and because he loves her, he's willing to let their situation change because he's supportive.

[@ChaoticWatcher]

Yeah, I'm glad he isn't getting hate, he didn't understand what was going on, so he tried to stop her, but after realizing they love each other, he was willing to let them love each other

[@Olao402]

Yes, that’s exactly what I thought! He reminds me of my bi male friend

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

@@Olao402 Being gay is a lie, being lesbian is a lie, being trans is a lie, what else there to say? We all been deceived on a major scale. Whence the truth been known, it can stop a heart. Truth can blow a mind, as the lies collapse. The reality is opposite to what we been told. Many live in delusions and proudly so. Can a soul survive, while seeking truth? Can a mind stay sane, as lies get exposed? Can a heart stay beating, whence the old life collapsed? What a wonderful testimonies from souls, as they found the truth. What a heartbreaking tragedy from those who stayed in lies.

i love the extreme contrast in the two relationships at the beginning. one was extremely toxic and downright abusive and the other one was much more caring; at first he didn't fully understand but after seeing the two girls fighting together for what they wanted, he understood and let her go without a fight. loved everything about this, down to the last detail!

[@yourlocalbarb2018]

Funny story, my parents experienced the exact same thing (kinda) my dads gay but he didn’t realize he was until he had already had 2 kids with my mom. And after he got around to telling her, she didn’t believe him at first, she honestly thought he was joking 😭 plus, they both grew up in very conservative areas so they never really understood what being gay was all about. After a while though, my mom finally realized that he was serious and supported him. About 8 years later, they’ve both happily remarried and now I technically have 3 dads lol. My mom and dad are still best friends and my stepdads are the best stepdads I could ever ask for

Approximately 100 years ago, the silent film was diminished, and thanks to the developed technology that allowed films to be able to speak. there is hardly a person in this modern era who hasn’t grown up with a screen that can talk back to them.

[@CasualPearls]

@@Harsovoimaa what do you mean? what ab this fictional story was inaccurate? it's accurate that their are different experiences, some lesbians are able to leave there partner in a healthy way and still be good terms with their old partner while some lesbians have more toxic partners who take it more personally. Even the way the brunette's ex bf took some time to adjust and was a hurt at first but eventually came around when he realized what would make her happiest is accurate to what some people experience, just bc it's not accurate to you specifically doesn't mean it's inaccurate.

[@girl1213]

One shows a man who cannot accept a woman is free to love whomever she loves, even if it's another woman. He feels the need to control her and keep her under his thumb. The other shows that even though it hurts him, he realizes that a woman who cannot love him shouldn't be with him. He accepts her happiness is elsewhere, but he'll be there if she calls for his help to defend her and her love.

Yeah, honestly, I felt kind of bad for him. Even before his turnaround, he just seemed really confused about the whole thing, like he was constantly thinking 'Wasn't she made for me? What's happening?'

I adore that they managed to teach us that love is love, there isn't a straight love between a man and woman, but of a sane and healthy relationship no matter the gender or the sexuality

And how people in toxic relationships should leave there partner if they aren’t still in love with them and/or abusing them.

What I love about this animation is that it not only focuses LGBT but I can see the topic of ‘abusive relationships’ 0:51 when he kicked away her broken arm shards dismissively as he helps her by hiding from ppl ‘s eyes that he not an ‘abuser’ but everyone knows the truth this scene reflects reality.

Absolutely brilliant! Also love the metaphor of the broken arm to show that coming out and having the courage to love who you wanna love won't be an easy journey and you might get hurt, but inn the end it's worth it! Love this

[@KyrieChii]

This just popped up in my recommended & I'm so glad it did. This was beautiful & clever, & said SO much without saying a word. I actually gasped when douche-groom slapped her & she fell to the ground. Of course the end had me in tears, especially when I realized the blonde lady in the couple was also missing part of an arm. Both brilliant & heartwarming. (Kind of an 'aside', but the brides who found their perfect decorator, which somehow managed to include their appearances all the way down to the arm, would sure look to me like a 'sign' they were 'meant to be' ^^ So romantic.)

[@Eatshizam]

It did In mine too ^^

[@mixedbaggamer]

I think the whole reason that was because the Brides on the top of the cake was supposed to mean representations of the actual Brides so what we saw was essentially the life story of the blond and how her and the brunette fell in love

gods the credits in those gay shorts are everything also you DO see the difference between an abuser and a man who actually cares. Loveless marriage does not mean there is no care there. Great representation of that, of gayness, and of disability. That end story had me in the feels.

What struck me was that the angry husband helped his bride up off the floor not because he cared for her, or felt sorry for striking or pushing her off, but obviously just to save face (pun intentional), and I love that she was _not_ having any of that. She didn't cower, didn't accept him back, didn't play along or act thankful. She went like "You hurt me, and you don't care. I'm not going to help you with your image" The human couple at the end was really cute, too, and that the toppers changed position from dancing in the shop to kissing at the wedding 😍

I love how the cakes represent something as well, the cake the blond was on was filled with thorns showing a unsafe relationship and a hard place to leave without suffering injury. As for the cake with the pearls seemed delicate and safe, yet the bride wanted off. In my eyes it meant that even though everything is going well, you can still wish for more. As the groom on the cake held her back it seemed he didn’t wish for her leave him unsure what she was wanting, yet not knowing what he was holding her from. The fight scene showed there’s more to just a ending of relationship someone is always gonna think that two people that ended on good terms either hate each other or live in disgust of knowing that their used to be other half is now living a better life off without them and it turns into the motivation of well, “blank and blank ended like this and he’s upset or she’s upset yet I’m fine with the fact we broke it off yes it hurts but it doesn’t mean I can’t wish happiness for that other person” the guy on the blonds cake seemed angry that she left him, and he seen he was hurting her (which led to her falling off the cake and breaking an arm) but he didn’t care. Or I’m an 15 year old paying wayyy to much attention to a small animated film about cake toppings and have nothing to do with her summer.
