A Strange News From Another Star @ananke220 - Tumblr Blog

Tonight I gave Art Spiegelman the National Book Awards Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. And we're both being banned. Some of you may think this is a good thing because you don't like my books or you don't care for Maus. But I guarantee that there are books you love on the banned lists too. That's why libraries and librarians fight for their rights to have all the books on the shelves and for your rights to read them. And it's why I support them.

Il problema di tumblr è che di mettete duecento tag non ne ho proprio voglia...

Is Keaya Alberich x Diluc Ragnvindr (Kaeluc) Incest?

Tw: eh, mentions of incest ig and Homophobia and racism at the last part

Tldr: It's is.... NOT INCEST

Why is it not incest? Because they're sworn brothers

" But it's still BROTHERS!! IT'S INCEST!!!!!! "

Now listen here you ignorant fool.

Chinese version of "sworn brothers" is 义兄. Meaning 义兄 =两个人之间没有血源关系，但是兴趣相投，或者是志向相同,虽不同路，但相互怜惜便结拜为兄弟.

Translation: to 2 people, NOT related, but have the same Ideals and aspirations. However, they go different paths in the future, thus, to cherish this bond, they become sworn brothers BY a ceremony.

Kaeya and Diluc are no where near related, Diluc's dad just took Kaeya in to foster.

Notice that the word 义兄 is hardly used now in modern society, that's because it was commonly used in ancient china ( when there were emperors and wars and etc.) with many ancient Chinese literature to back the term up.

The reason why many Chinese kaeluc or luckae fans ship this is because of the double meaning. In ancient china, homosexuality is actually very common, it only became illegal in 1903 (Where the war with England and stuff happend).

A lot of famous Chinese literature like 《红楼梦》、《金瓶梅》 has some 男风（男=boy/men 风= wind, 男风= "a wave/ trend of male homosexuality" or a more secrete way of saying male homosexuality ) topics and stories. Ancient Chinese history books like 《宋书·五行志》explained ：“自咸宁、太康（公元3世纪）以后，男风大兴，炽于女色，士大夫莫不尚之，天下咸相仿效，贵胄孤寡女眷尤甚，或是至夫妇离绝，怨旷妒忌者。”

男风大兴，炽于女色 = a love of men to the point that it overcame the love of woman

Thus since homosexuality was a thing in ancient china, there must be gay marriage. However, historians found that ancient people was using the term 契兄弟= contract brothers ( 契= deed/ contract, 兄弟= brothers) to describe gay marriage.

Since having a gay relationship has intertwined the words brothers "兄弟” in it, many historians also wondered that “ 义兄” which was widely used back then could have a double meaning to male lovers.

Yeah, it could or could not be in Diluc's and Kaeya's case. However, Mihoyo didn't use 继兄= step brother, but instead used 义兄= sworn brothers.

继兄= step brother 🙅‍♂️

义兄= sworn brothers 🙆‍♂️

(If they were step brother's it would be stepcest, I guess)

And since a lot of BL (boys love, basically yaoi) written in current China has risen in popularity. If you read a lot of BL novels, u may find that sworn brothers is a common troupe in them, as this is also a way to censor and give an excuse to the bond between the 2 men.

Why would we need an excuse for a bond between two men?

Because China and most other Asian countries are not as accepting to homosexuals like the west. But that can be said in another post, probably not, i dont like posting these.

Here is my closing.

I myself dont ship Kealuc. No, not because im Homophobic. No, not because im against a tan dating a white. And No, it isnt because im a Jeanluc or any other shipper. It just does'nt float my boat, ok? It's cute, yeah, angry x sly is cute.

Then what gives me the right to rant about this?

Im just tired of seeing artist on twitter, instagram and tumblr getting harrassed for liking a ship that you or anyone else dislikes. Comments like "Wow you're art is so good, such a shame that you ship Kealuc tho" or "it's always the talented artist who are the Kaeluc shippers" but the ones that hurt me more are the one who directly attack my identity "it's always the chinese who are problematic" and even "First you start a pandemic then you do this, can you be even more disgusting?"

That's not ok, that's racist.

Racism is not ok. And it never will be, dont tolerate racism cause if we do, nothing will change.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

I hope that if you were onw of the people who attack others, I hope you can change. I wish you no bad luck.

(Oh yeah, you can make fun of me for using mobile lmfao)
