"You can only be so much of an adult on a CW show, because you're not even really allowed to kiss with tongue. That aspect

Maybe this is me showing my sheltered self, but I always wondered if actors kiss with tongue or not. I guess it depends.

Wow I feel dumb writing this out lol

If it's any consolation, I've been adoring your Reepicheep icon the whole time!

[alchemic_jedi]

Aww thanks! I’ve had it for years and it’s my favorite one!

I don’t think they’re supposed too generally? At least I remember Eliza Dushku talking about how she used tongue when she was kissing David Boreanaz on Buffy, not realising that it’s not something that’s usually done, and when she mentioned afterwards that she had cut her tongue on his vampire teeth everyone was teasing her about wait did you use actual tongue to kiss him then

Lmao these comments, idk if it’s a matter of WANTING to tongue kiss your colleagues, I think it’s about having weird arbitrary limits on intimacy the show is depicting anyway. If we’re seeing two teen characters literally having sex (which Riverdale has done!), why is a line being crossed by depicting a tongue kiss? Why isn’t the standard more consistent?

Right? I mean why not leave it up to the actors and intimacy coordinators?

My first thought was that they forbid it so actresses don't complain about creepy actors forcing their tongue into their mouth, but I doubt the CW cares much about women being comfortable.

[notoriousreign]

Yeah there's a spectacular misread going on here lol (I can't blame people though)

Madelaine and Vanessa used tongue in the season finale lmao

gonna be honest: dont care for tongue kissing. open mouth yes, but sticking your tongue down my throat just doesnt it for me.

[theactualworst]

Some people are seriously so bad at it lol.

[poisonapple73]

Same, I really don't care for it. I usually have to explain to people in advance because if they do it to me and it feels weird I start laughing 😬

no amount of money would be enough for me to kiss a coworker with tongue
