(A general discussion, for example, of sexuality leading to Luxi’s mom’s confession that she’s never had an orgasm leading to TongTong’s mom . . . I’m sure everyone here can fill in the blanks from there.)

for a second i thought this had happened for real, and went to look for a chapter i may have missed.

So, I would like to take this moment to say that even women who are sexually fulfilled can be total bitches, homophobic or otherwise.

Just to clarify, as usual, I was talking about story tropes and plot mechanisms, and making absolutely no generalizations about real-life human beings.

I think you came up with something highly plausible (and we could come up with other possibilities), but I wonder how long their purported arc will be. Luxi's mom is written in a way where she's very isolated and seems to have no one besides Luxi, whereas the mom friendship hasn't been going on very long and had its trust severely damaged. Reestablishing the friendship without false pretenses seems like it should be its own arc, while I don't think the author will want to spend too much time away from Luxi / Tong Tong. Unless the author is going to make most of that happen off screen and surprise the MCs, I would expect it take more than one arc.

I don't care whether it's realistic, probable, based on evidence, medically certified, whatever. I want their moms to get together because it would be funny and cute as heck.
