I guess I'm confused. Do you mean - they make it look like kissing? Or do you mean they consider having done CPR as akin to having kissed the person?

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like the former to me. I haven't seen Promare, but I know people have been all over the CPR scene which lasts...some good seconds. Totally not fanservice.

[tabaqui]

Weird, okay. Did not know that was even a thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Have seen Promare here, and there's no CPR scene. It's more of a sci-fi Sleeping Beauty or Snow White situation. The kiss has a purpose other than being a kiss, but it is still a kiss and nothing like performing CPR.

[(Anonymous)]

It’s performed as CPR. Galo delivers the Promare back into Lio through his airway. Much closer to CPR than a kiss, and neither treats it as a kiss (which is refreshing, since so many shows have the giver sputter “I-I-I did it to save your life!!” no-homoly.)

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, Promare's scene isn't actually CPR though, not in the normal sense (without going too into it, it's more of a 'reigniting inner fire' moment, and it's definitely staged as an intentionally intimate moment).

[(Anonymous)]

I read it as the latter fwiw

[tabaqui]

Huh. Considering how gross CPR is in general (when done to actually save a life).... Wow.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like the former to me, too.

I know back in The Day, Chris Carter was quoted as saying that the idea in the first X-Files movie was that there'd been the intention for a kiss, which got interrupted, and then later there was CPR, where their mouths actually meet, so in his mind they'd kind of kissed?

I...have a lot of complicated thoughts about that. I like it, hate it, find it stupid and also smart, find it deeply problematic but also compelling...you name it.

But yeah, it's definitely A Thing in plenty of (het) media.

[(Anonymous)]

*latter, I meant to say it sounds like the latter.

[tabaqui]

I guess it's a concept i'm not remotely familiar with. Creepy is right.

[(Anonymous)]

Never saw Honey, I Shrunk The Kids?

[tabaqui]

Absolutely not.

[(Anonymous)]

I love that movie.
