Piece of Cake | Animated Short Film

[@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.

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

okay so a few things i really liked about this: 1. I love that the cake with the blond boyfriend and Val had thorns around it, while Jesse and Mara's cake had pearls and softer features, kind of showing the difference in their relationships and who they were as characters 2. THE ANIMATION IS SO GOOD?? 3. I love the idea and i want to know what drugs you were on when you thought of it so i can buy some (/j) 4. i also love how, in the end, Jesse realized that the blonde guy was not a good person and helped Mara and Val 5. the difference in the dancing is absolutely amazing

[@LuluWizLovesLife]

Watching this reminded me of one of my closest friends. Her mother was married to a man who was abusive towards her when my friend was born.

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.

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 😍

[@VideoGamesAndTheWorld]

I'm a heterosexual male, and there was a time I was against same-sex marriage. Two reasons, the way my time was and also because of my own faith becoming zealous. A lesbian co-worker made me see the error of my ways. I tried to justify and pretend to be someone I wasn't and self-gaslighted. I felt shame and took the time to self-reflect and later became a supporter of same-sex marriage. Especially since having family members who are LGBT. With all the anti-LGBT sentiment growing every day, I must fight for them, especially for the family members in the LGBT. My lesbian aunt, my lesbian cousin, my transgender cousin-in-law. And for my friends. Overall, I loved this animation, it makes you think.

This was very moving for me to watch. My wife and I married before it was legal in all US states (12 years ago), and we had to drive 12 hours to a state where it was! The world has changed a lot since then, although we obviously still have a lot of work to do.

[@Meela9088]

[@genericname2747]

I forgot human rights are still a new thing to some places.

[@huntuckian]

@@Meela9088 It's complicated. The first US state (Massachusetts) legalized it in 2004, and several states followed slowly. But full nationwide legalization only happened with the Supreme Court decision in 2015. That means my marriage was not legally recognized in the state where we lived, or by federal law, for 4 years. For some couples this isn't a big deal, but in our case it was.

[@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.
