He did the same thing during the tea party...

I wouldn't be surprised if he built everything himself from the waist down

Danmei is a very unique genre of queer literature which both centers and de-centers queerness. None of the Danmei I’ve read have been essentially “about” being gay. They’re just stories of life, of magic, of fantasy, of love, in which the main characters happen to be gay. Which is a kind of representation I have often seeked from western media and related intermediaries because why is every gay story, a coming out story? Is there not more to queer people than that?

However, while capturing the personhood of queer people; Danmei also captures the queerness of people because none of these stories would work if the characters weren’t gay/queer

Wei Wuxian’s absolute buffoonery of misunderstanding Lan Zhan’s feelings in a decade long telephone game in which neither of them open their damn mouth would never work in a non-queer story because between a man and a woman romance would be the natural assumption of everyone around them and therefore wouldn’t leave space for confusion. The misunderstanding of their romance is so closely tied to the plot succession that the plot would be… non existent without it

In TGCF Xie Lian and Hua Cheng’s absolute aspirational love is literally in the backseat and front seat of the story. Not too different from a classic hero’s journey but instead of the hero being one person, it’s two people. They are so intertwined with eo that they become one character and witness a lot of the story together. Witness being a very interesting word choice. Their queerness doesn’t drive the story but replacing one of them with a woman would dampen the effect— it’d remove the uncertainty, the confusion from everyone around them, the genuine slow burn of the romance. There’s also this idea of Hua Cheng falling in love with Xie Lian so far separated from concepts such as gender or whatever which wouldn’t have been hammered home in a straight romance where those conversations aren’t always had between the audience and the story

And Erha.. well obviously. Half of Chu Wanning’s “this is so inappropriate” spiral wouldn’t exist if he was a woman. And, the idea of Mo Ran being a “cut sleeve” builds up the under current of his character being so far dismissed by society because he’s seen as immoral. Which just wouldn’t serve to the same effect if he was into exclusively women because so was every other character.

Not in a single one of these stories is queerness and homosexuality the central theme of the story yet without them, the romance wouldn’t be the same. Liking the same gender as you comes with baggage in our society which is so heteronormative and that effect has to exist in the person characters become for them to be authentic but at the same time, limiting that effect only to produce coming out stories/falling in love stories is unfair. Danmei mends this through a middle ground where the plot is the focus but it doesn’t exist in a vaccum, it exists in queerness itself

Beware the jester

[brainrots-and-stuff]

If I wrote a fic about XF going through it™ after he woke up at the hospital, would you guys read it?

It would be really fucking angsty

If I did should I write something more light, where it ands when he meets mobei

Or

Should I really go for it and end when he meets up SY?

go light angst-longer or full on breakdown but shorter?

don't torture SQH too much

Let that Twink suffer

you're evil and I want to see the answers

Schlocktober Day 6

Defiling a Puritan

Danny Phantom everlasting trio time travel fic. Danny’s memory is wiped and he gets cast into the past by an enemy. He is mistaken for John Fentonightingale’s nephew and becomes indoctrinated into his ancestor’s Puritanical ghost hunting team. Tucker and Sam have to chase him back through time to Salem and remind him who he is. . . with their bodies.

Room Temperature Play

SQH finds out that wax play is liable to actually injure MBJ (temporarily, he is a demon after all), so he resorts to lukewarm water instead. Given MBJ’s coldness, it freezes solid like wax would, anyway.

Edging on an Edge

Make the IAC endless abyss scene even more fucked up. Could be:

Moshang - The System requires SQH to distract MBJ from killing SQQ while Plot is happening, so SQH rolls for seduction, not expecting it to work. . . why did that work!?!!! But now he has to kill enough time for the scum villain to shove his disciple into the abyss and escape (so that LBH can exact his revenge when he returns, it wouldn’t do for the scum villain to die early) so he ends up edging his king until they’re forced to retreat from cultivator reinforcements. What he wasn’t expecting was for MBJ to beg him to finish the job after transporting them away.

BingJiu - Bingge uses his dream powers to torture SJ, but somehow the dream goes a much different direction than anticipated.

SQQ, wracking his brain for ways to thwart the System and avoid shoving his white lotus into the abyss, stumbles across the idea of incapacitating himself with an aphrodisiac plant. If he’s poisoned and experiencing a flare up from Without A Cure he can’t be forced to hurt Binghe, right? It works, perhaps too well. Now all he can do is curl up on the ground and masturbate while MQF, YQY, LQG, and LBH stand around him in a circle debating who should be the one to dual cultivate with him to save his life. SQQ is this close to just throwing himself into the abyss to escape the mortification and the unceasing arousal.

Bingqiu dream sequence where they revisit the IAC for therapy reasons, and SQQ accidentally lets slip about the System. Binghe is so overwhelmed with joy that he pounces on Shizun.

Maigu ridge could be another edge, if you wanted to continue the theme of “absolutely fucked up” for maximum angst potential.
