People who think Kylo murdered all his classmates for no good reason when both the movies implied and comic confirmed otherwise, or dislike Kylo because they think sequel is not about family but Jedi Order's best student contest can stay the hell away from my blog. I don't want your inattentive psycho ass here! 🙄

i'll be honest it gets kind of annoying when ppls immediate canned response to an m/f ship is "she deserves better" because over half the people who say that then proceed to hyperfocus on some yaoi with the man involved and never give the woman a second glance. forgive me but i think she deserves better than being girlbossed off screen and never mentioned again

Going back to what I said about pulp literature and fiction, there's probably something to be said about superheroes.

Namely how some of these Marvel/DC characters come from the same period where people reading their stories also read other kinds of stories.

So it's as if the "superhero genre" wasn't really a thing because people still read a variety of stories.

Nowadays, if a guy reads superhero comics (Or more realistic, only watches superhero movies), chances are they won't read or watch anything else.

And these modern superhero stories will have the cynically "proper, not-goofy" overdetailed superhero costumes and speak quippy dialogue, as a contrast to the more earnest, sincere older stories.

Even Star Wars falls into this, considering how Lucas was inspired by Japanese/samurai movies, maybe even WW2 stuff and, if I recall, even Valérian and Laureline.

Meanwhile, Disney SW tries to mimic the old SW but not its influences, so it bases it on the idea of "this whimsical sci-fi adventure, with the funny mascots wooo" and it all feels flat.

Have you ever noticed how straight woman tend to romanticize yaoi, and completely ignore yuri? Yuri is literally so underrepresented in fandoms and as a lesbian it kills me.

Also the obsession straight woman have with gay men is lowkey weird, reminds me of straight men wanting to 'turn lesbiand straight.'

then YOU write more yuri. I never say “yuri is bad”. all I say is that I enjoy yaoi, and therefore I read, write and talk about yaoi on my own blog.

if you like yuri, then YOU read, write and talk about yuri. nobody is stopping you.

I am a cis woman, and I am obsessed with my mlm ship — because that’s my passion and my source of comfort. I write because I love my mlm ship, and because these fictional men make me happy (and no, I don’t want them straight, I want them gay and in love with each other). I am not going to apologize for doing whatever makes ME happy for myself and my own enjoyment. I am not here for a stranger’s approval. sorry if you find it weird I guess? I literally don’t know who you are, and a stranger’s opinion is not something I care about. especially when they come into MY house and start telling me what I should or should not do and enjoy.

I’ll continue reading, writing, enjoying and talking about yoai. and you can’t stop me.

again, fanfiction is not an act of activism. do whatever makes you happy, whatever turns you on, instead of trying to shame others for enjoying the thing they enjoy instead of the thing you enjoy.

The submission here is such a dishonest take.

Writing two men being attracted to each other is NOT the same as "wanting to turn lesbians straight". An equivalent of that would be women trying to "turn gay men straight". Which is literally the opposite of what's happening in yaoi ships.

The mental gymnastics in this makes me wonder if OP just wanted an excuse to bash straight women for... not providing free content that YOU specifically want to consume? These people don't owe you anything, Anon. This just reeks of entitlement.

If you think about it for just a second, it makes a great deal of sense why straight women would be attracted to romance stories between gay men. I suggest you try that, Anon, instead of twisting facts to fit your narrative.

The irony of coming into a blog that fiercely advocates against antis - people that shame other people for what they like in fiction - and then proceeding to shame and name-call other people for what they like in fiction - would be funny, if it weren't so sad.

this and also another anon said it better than I could

#EXACTLY #do we say gays and lesbians are fetishizing straight people because they like titanic and watched the boiler room lemon scene on repeat!?!#bashing women for not reading their yuri but adding a *straight* in front is just a thinly veiled attempt to shame people into reading what #they like #the reality is a lot of mlm liking women are not straight and those who are don't read it exclusively #they read wlw too..at least those who appeal to their taste #people who read Thousand Autumns danmei for example have read the Beauty's Blade or recommend they all read it because of similar themes

LWJ's morality never changed..

I have seen a lot of ppl in fandom , who have seen cee queee elll no doubt, think that w*ngxian is a dynamic where perfect protagonist WWX finds love and LWJ the love interest gets influenced by WWX's free spirited ways. He finds unconventional morality and justice away from the orthodox clan of his and becomes open and what not...yeah no.

That is a show only invention which hardly makes any sense. After all there is no thing called "just" POW treatment in this fantasy. WWX won the war and basically forgot about the Wens and what would happen to them beside being homeless and in custody of Jins. They just inserted that for sake of sprucing up their main character to adhere with certain standards censors of the country demands

In the book, WWX is the kind of person who is raised with the idea that his life is not his, its OTHER'S. Other people who have done him favors by taking care of his needs, so he should repay it with his life.

At first it on surface doesn't bother him because he is boundless and talented and hence has a lot to give to others. Especially his clan, the Jiangs, who raised him. He has even convinced himself that he doesn't even like marriage!So what if it kills him on the inside and he is now a functional alcoholic at 15? he can just laught it off and pretend he thinks marriage is jail anyway! its nothing but chains! ( note the word "chains" when he says to Yanli, coincidentally what his life is like with Jiangs. Chained by obligation to restore an elusive happiness they lost because Madam Yu, the toxic matriarch cannot accept accountability)

Wens are just another obligation in long list of obligations that he HAS TO repay for saving JC's life and keeping it a secret from him till their literal dying day. Wen Ning blabbing doesn't count because he is not technically alive. He rescued the Wens because Wenqing knew he would repay her if she approached him . WHICH HE DID.

Unfortunately WWX's ability got outscaled by sheer adversity and bad karma he was facing thanks to situation beyond his limits. His powers alone cannot face off against the cultivation world which ironically happened partly because of the same powers which became out of his control. That is where bad karma is. He created a power where he could exploit the souls of dead and there is only so far it would take him.

In the end WWX's life fell apart because he has to keep paying obligations to others especially Jiangs without getting anything in back. WWX is expected to do everything in his power to mollycoddle JC, to keep Jiangs safe, but do Jiangs feel obligated to back him up if he decides to keep Wen remnants safe? Nope. ( coincidentally, WWX and shouldn't have to even ask, he is the head disciple and JC remembers the Wen siblings AT LEAST sheltering him and his brother during times of crisis...JC truly is a taker from so many people and he never gives back). He has never known a life where people have his back before the Wens and LWJ.

This is why he lowkey admires the Lans. He wanted to replicated by Twin Jades with JC. How tragic is that??

WWX is the one who wants to be like Lans. He for the first time didn't say some stray individuals but a whole SECT backing EVERY member it has no matter how close they are to the Sect leader or not or have clan relationships or not. He saw them punish LWJ for injuring his own elders who might not have been his clan members. He saw them punish LWJ despite being son of the sect leader...something he NEVER saw happen in his own clan where the way he is treated by everyone and how JC is day and night different! He saw for the first time what is its like how to live in a place where everyone is treated equally however cumbersome its rules are. They truly mean their morals and their rules.

Its LWJ who was going around helping poorer, random people in need of rescue or help even before WWX 's first life. It was LQR who warned him to not dable in Gu Dao its against morals of a cultivator to exploit the dead. Its LXC who sheltered him and LWJ when it would have been convenient to throw WWX out to save his brother instead ( something WWX is familiar with , that is how it basically was, leaving the Jiangs) . WWX is the one who wants to keep up with LWJ and now helps random people around too, when he didn't use to before in his first life. That detail in the extras is important- Not because WWX lacked morals but but because there was even a higher standard set by LWJ that he admired and now helps his husband with.

So if WWX is the one who is influenced by morals of LWJ and not other way around...what exactly LWJ's character growth change? Its the fact that he opened up his heart to love and decided its not a bad thing to follow the path of his own father.

Imagine being LWJ, being born a prodigy to a clan leader, who is basically looked down as a wasted potential because he chained himself to his criminal mother. LWJ loves his mother but he cannot deny what she did was wrong. LWJ was raised by his uncle who had to basically handle everything in his sect and basically raise the brothers too, when as second born, he probably had more freedom to do as he pleased and be free of obligation to have any heir. All snatched away in a second when his elder brother decided that its worth it all to keep his love/wife alive no matter what heinous action she committed against their sect. The PRESSURE on LWJ to not repeat the mistakes his father made and be on right path but also with right people must have been immense.

LWJ beside later thinking WWX is straight and he has no chance, also thought that WWX is that he is not right person he could share his ambition with of being a righteous cultivator either- a kid who is laughing about the idea of harnessing the resentment of dead, gullible, hapless souls like they are just inhumane products rather than a another pathway of living being who also need level headed compassion or attack depending on threat to be delivered from cycle of reincarnation , is frankly NOT morally sound. But as he knows him he realized WWX is not bad, he is just misguided ( like most of the cultivation world is. More concerned about powers and treasure and not what Cultivation as a philosophy even means...now wonder there is only ONE Boashan Sanren) and as tragedy slowly unfolds, LWJ realizes his decision to keep his distance from WWX has cost him any right to keep him safe.

This is why he was willing to take WWX to Gusu and follow the path of his father and mother. Something he never wanted to do but is willing to just to keep WWX safe. Exactly like his dad. And he FOLLOWS THROUGH with it when given second chance when WWX comes back from dead!

In that sense LWJ and WWX have that parallel- both are expected to shoulder the burden of not repeating the "mistakes" their parents made and not make their current family unhappy. Both realize that they didn't make a mistake as people think and avoid being a tragic ending.

Fandom Problem #15,922:

Yes, it is important to re-educate people about misconceptions regarding how wolf packs work.

But maybe omegaverse fanfiction and wolfshifter romantasy novels aren't exactly the right place for that. Believe me, most people aren't reading them for their realism.

Mxtx's fandom, both Anglo and CN have to be one of the most ENTITLED and ARROGANT fandom I have ever seen. Its one thing when I used to see fandom insist the canon is not true about western books or shows because writers used to love to play games with people in order to promote their work. But its another ballgame, to see these "fans" act like they know a story and what is or isn't canon more than Mxtx does when she has been pretty consistent about her story and also said she revises things to ENHANCE what is already written.

What is funny is that they have consistently shown they don't read texts. They skip it, or read summaries. We have people readily admit they didn't read the whole book and skipped things in reddit and tiktok and some, who do read it whole, also tend to mix it up with other medium, like donghua, manhwa, whatever fanfiction they read etc

They know they have high chance that its all wrong. I have habitually seen them make shit up that doesn't exist or miss crucial plot point like pretending Madam Yu didn't coerce her husband into marriage knowing he never liked her. Or people pretending Feng X*n is a good friend when he slapped Xie Lian simply because he was angry and said something he never would, as if he has a right to hurt XL like this etc Its even common in other author's fandom..like Meatbun fandom hilariously having Mandela effect and think He Yu has bangs!

Then they have the audacity to insist that...Mxtx is retconning? or doesn't know her own plot? or that she is this or that apologist? From a fandom which is fan with sexual and romantic coercion as long as victim is a man or forgetting literal paragraphs to make up HC that doesn't exist ( acting like Shen J*u was sexually abused ??? LBH r*ping someone which is SJ extrapolating a text we don't know primarily? FX not slapping XL?? MQ being treated badly by Xl which never happened?? LWJ "waiting for WWX for 13 years and playing Inquiry!" etc OMG , wow)

It really is audacious coming from bunch of people who frequently lie, and forget about basic crap from million word books. TRULY
