I genuinely like that this represents both the healthy and toxic sides of a gay relationship. Coming from a lesbian background myself, I've noticed a lot of people call toxic queer relationships "homophobic" or "hateful", when in reality it's no different from hetero relationships. This was executed so good and beautifully in a comedic and serious light in just 10 minutes that I am genuinely amazed.

[@polishalastor142]

[@royalibis42]

@@NeoNik944 i mean, the start has a bunch of hetero couples if you are going off of just looks. The background characters dont have any specified genders so almost every couple thats not important to the plot could be straight as well. And it is realistic, gay couples are more common than you would think as long as the space they are in is safe and welcoming. Also isn't this short about queer couples? And is probably made by a queer person? Of course theres going to be more gay couples than you would usually see in media

[@cherrytries2922]

@@NeoNik944 i know uve already gotten comments on it but i mean. its like 6 gay people. ashley could be interpreted as gay/bi but personally i see it as a 'mean girl' making fun of the lesbian sorta thing. its not crazy that the 4 gay people would be friends, often friend groups can end up being really gay because they all have similar experiences and thus understand eachother more. also, the focus of the film *is* gay relationships in a way, so it makes sense that gay people would be the central characters.

as a straight dude, just wanna say I love seeing a greater variety of love stories that show the complicated nuances of searching for love from non-hetero perspectives. Theres something so refreshing from a story telling perspective as well as fundamentally relatable in the human experience of dealing with rejection. Nothing about this story felt like pandering or anything like that. The pacing was dare i say, perfectly done i found myself baited guessing what was gonna happen. And the dialogue was I don't know how to phrase this, but digestible in a way that felt accurate to the circumstances they were portraying. It was realistic but entertaining nonetheless. Happy pride and valentines to one and to all! (i know Im a bit late) I know animation and storytelling both take a lot of hard work, and everybody here did a fantastic job! Hope to see more in the future!

[@rose-oi2zg]

4:12 AHAHAH i totally get it, as a fellow bisexual girlie. This may come as a short rant but it got me thinking... the boundary between platonic and romantic love is very blurry for me... It feels weird to violate that boundary when you can't differentiate what it is. The only way I kinda got my gf now was because of luck that she liked me romantically too, I guess. And that she was extra lonely on the inside and I was there to help her and that I was the first person in her life who really cared about her interests. It's still a struggle to accept fully that she loves me, even till today, haha. I can't fully see the impact my little acts of kindness have on her. I've just got to accept that there's a whole nother person in this world, and they love me. The struggle of confessing to your best friend: you'll lose a friend AND a lover. Double whammy, huh. The girl who probably says i love you platonically and it's your wrong to see it as romantic because it's just part of girlhood, all those messy stuff. But at the end, i just appreciate that company and how they'll stay with you to the end. and I think that's what mattered in the end, to me.

[@rose-oi2zg]

Had many boy crushes in my life. But I didn't see the point of confessing to them, they were all too 'bro' guys who kept touching each other 'not in a gay way' in class to an annoying point. I only liked them coz they were hot. But I hung around them because I liked the conversation they provided to fuel my extroverted energy. Thought I was ace for the longest time (i generally hated a lot of people in life, not elaborating tho) and that it was normal to admire girls in a pretty way, until I actually had my first real girl crush: her.

[@rose-oi2zg]

Thanks for making this little animation tho, I really enjoyed it. It got me thinking about my own relationship, crushes, and sexuality as a whole.

[@rosechuma2006]

Ayy, thanks for sharing your story! Means a lot that you found that connection in our silly little film :3 💖

[@venti2569]

I totally get the whole part with not knowing if its platonic or romantic im so confused rn and im just hoping itll work out one day i just know ill never confess to anyone no matter what lmao

[@christopherthompson5400]

AAHHHHHHHHH STOP NOT CONFESSING!!!!!!!!!! you deserve love, and the person you like deserves to know you like them. Don't be too forceful about it, but you can let someone know that you are interested without it being too awkward. It took me 5 or 6 rejections before I finally got the yes that i was so desperate for. 6 years later, and believe deep down she and i are soulmates. The thing was if i didn't ask her out when i happened to accidentally bump into her, she was already planning to ask out another dude to the dance the following monday (it was a friday) and just by sheer dumb luck i asked her out first, and that was the luckiest moment of my life. look what im trying to say is complacent longing is agony, and the fear of rejection almost always hurts a lot more than actually being rejected. I'm not saying ask them out tomorrow. But atleast start having conversations that could hint at you being interested. like asking them who their ideal partner is, what they think a perfect date would be etc. And before you even say ' oh itll be too obvious' that is exactly what my girlfriend was talking to me about 4 years before i even asked her out, and I had no idea because I'm stupid and could never take a hint on anything. Again im making this about myself too much but its the only real experience i have to work with. I have spent years wishing people would want me enough to make the first move cause the idea of losing a friend terrified me too much. They can still be your friend after, and this may be hard to hear, but if they don't want to be your friend anymore because of that, maybe you deserve a better friend. One that gets you to the core, one that you don't have to hide anything from. Trust me it makes friendships much less complicated and emotional burdens much more bearable. CONFESS!!!!!!!!!! DO IT! DO IT!!!!! please, you may hate me for it now but I promise you 5 years from now you won't regret any of it.@@venti2569

So I, a straight man who hasn’t felt the embrace of a woman in my entire life, watched this and felt like it was pretty cool. An awesome animation that is pretty wholesome with a thrilling, feel-good conclusion. (I love gushy romance with good plot!) Even though I can’t relate to any character cuz it feels like 90% of them are at least bisexual, (my god every frame of this is ZESTY,) I still gave it 10/10, would watch again. But then… I showed it to my Lesbian friend, whom like me had been maidenless for a good while. I left her to see it for herself without any spoilers. When I got back, she was angry at me for not warning her about this “emotional bombshell” and she had fucking TEARS IN HER EYES. While I can relate to the feelings of being stood up or rejected, of being just that one second too late, as well the feelings of love, and valentine’s day, and bla bla bla, I can’t relate to THAT SPECIFIC FEELING as a straight man. So I must say, you struck the CORRECT CHORD when writing this thing! I already thought this was a SUPER high quality production from an underrated animator, but my friend REALLY loved it, like on an EMOTIONAL level! With that in mind, 14/10, would be alone on Valentine’s day again!

OMG was that Mykie's Voice at 8:12 ?! If so that's another one of these little things that make this animation feels so rich and crafted with passion and love! ❤😄❤

This is so cheesy it’s adorable! As an avid hater of Valentine’s Day, I never get a valentine as my form of protest. As a lesbian who has yet to come out to one of her parents (for personal reasons I am scared to tell them) this touched my heart.

As a closeted aroace I absolutely dread valentines day ad I have to pretend to relate to my friends when I just can't really understand what they're feeling

[@Loknhbgggg]

The ending is so sweet! ❤The artstyle is very pleasing on the eyes also :D

[@aotc2669]

as an aromantic, i can confirm i have no idea what the hell is going on, but theres gay people in it so it's probably good

[@KatOnline]

I'm aro and I understand what's going on. I might not be able to experience romantic attraction towards anyone but that doesn't mean I don't know what love is and can't see that 2 people love each other.

[@aotc2669]

@@KatOnline i dont mean to say that all aromantics dont understand love and stuff if thats what you mean

[@KatOnline]

@@aotc2669 I just don't understand how you can't tell what's going on. Maybe I misunderstood your comment. But In film or in written story pieces, the writer or actor will portray obvious physical signs/symptoms that you can piece together that the character is romantically attracted to someone without having to understand the feeling itself. How to tell: The characters are really close friends with this person or a character acts like they want to be really close friends with the other individual. They tend to smile a bit too much at the person, they kiss, hold hands and blush, fast heart rate, they act all flustered around the person they like, they look at each other longingly (so much so it might weird you out a little bit), there is intiment tension between the two. That's how you can tell. Now there's the off chance they could just be friends with benefits but usually that's not the case in fiction. In real life it's more difficult to tell when someone likes someone romantically but in film and books they exaggerate it to make it so obvious to the audience. Although I am aroace and can't understand why people would feel these sorts of ways towards each other, I can see that they are experiencing a feeling evoking these symptoms. I may not understand the feeling personally but I know it's there for other people. Idk if you get what I'm saying.

@@aotc2669 Sorry for the long comment. I write to much.

[@aotc2669]

​@@KatOnlineit's fine, but yeah i'm aware that they're most likely in a relationship now considering it's a valentines special thing and all, but like you said i just dont understand any of like the reasoning behind why they feel the emotions that they do. that probably didnt make any sense but basically the last paragraph of your last comment is pretty much how i feel/see it

[@Someguydraws]

I know probably no one will see this, but I just wanna put this out there, this animation is so sweet and honestly made me emotional

[@AlbaCastillo-k7k]

I love this SO FREAKING MUCH the fact that they all say, sweetheart when they reject someone is crazy 💀 Simon might be my favorite character. He’s so chill LIKE??? is it just me or is Simon just the best person you can ever ask for- ALSO I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH VALENTINE’S DAY 🫶

[@phoenixthing]

2:48 with context this part is so funny

[@djblueu7608]

Ik XD

[@calyps0rion]

I would watch the hell out of a show with this style of writing and art. Props.

[@zekrogeneses5346]

I am really blown away at how amazing this short film is. Everything from the art style, animation, voice acting, music and story are all so excellent! I got so invested in the story and Melody's struggles. Thank you to all who made this for our viewing pleasure, you all did an excellent job and then some.
