Confessions without comment

Come ye salty bastards, and battle to thine heart's content. For this is not a place of honor, and while we who display your words vow impartiality, we do not promise the same for those who follow us ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ (-whatever this is by mod feiji lol)

[danmei-confessions]

(ﾉ*･ω･)ﾉ Hello! This is another danmei confessions blog. The mods here won't take any sides in things, and will just post every ask without comment. Feel free to send whatever, and we won't be the ones to sort the good takes from the bad. Unless you're sending hate to us who run the blog personally, or trying to "call out"/target another person. That's not cool.

Confessions will be tagged with:

#danmei-confessions

fandom(s) talked about (#fandom)

any ships talked about (#ship if positive or neutral, #anti ship if negative)

any characters talked about (#character unless specifically meaning to hate a character and/or the fans, in which case #anti character. note that simply mentioning a character's canon actions and not bashing fans does not count as being against a character. if you dont like hearing about your fave's crimes why is that even your fave.)

Posts that aren't confessions will be tagged #mods posting and the relevant mod posting the thing. We are mods feiji (airplane) and huanggua (cucumber).

In any case, we're all hand in unlovable hand here, and may the inevitable wank that results from thus be worthy of 'Hall of the Mountain King' ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Ok but like, Jin Guangyao’s actor in the untamed is soooo pretty dirnrjdjenrnd

I had a weird dream where Hua Cheng, Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan all lived in the same house together in stardew valley and they were in a low-key surprisingly healthy relationship

Okay you know what I don’t get why you would READ SCUM VILLAIN if the main ship makes you uncomfortable. None of the characters are good people, and if you hate the main ship so much MAYBE you shouldn’t have read it.

i miss you come back from the war. ok my actual confession is that i wish there was more gl in bl i know i know baihe exists & don't worry i am mostly just reading that but sometimes i will read bl and there will be some cute random background het, and why not cute background gl? for my enrichment. pour moi. but it's invisible to my enemies, who do not deserve a little treat.

The uwufication of WWX when this man canonically had a woman eat a table leg makes me mad as hell. This fandom was sold to me as a “repressed guy falls for demonic cultivator” story. Why do I have to navigate fandom acting like WWX is this adorable can do no wrong twink. He’s ruthless when pushed and that’s the hottest part of it!! That’s the hottest part of every character! The good guys committed war crimes (and looked super hot doing it). Can we remember some of these on occasion? For sexy purposes if yall do not care about characterization?

I am so tired of some people saying WWX *has* to be bisexual while also writing JGY as gay. While WWX flirted with women, he never even kissed one or seemed to have a real crush on them. Sounds to me like a gay guy high on heteronormativity. JGY, on the other hand, is over there courting a woman despite the initial disapproval of both sets of parents, marrying her, and *knocking her up before the wedding.* Why do people keep forgetting about that??? Maybe because JGY doesn’t fit into the extroverted, flirtatious “disaster bi” stereotype like WWX does???

Or maybe because of the incest. Okay, I kinda understand wanting to forget that part.

Unpopular opinion but MXTX writing often leans to a lot of telling than showing

[danmei-confessions]

Shen Yuan is a rape apologist.

[danmei-confessions]

I kinda wonder what things would have been like if Madam Yu had married Jin Guangshan and the lady we only know as Madam Jin married Jiang Fengmian.

[danmei-confessions]

I wish multi-cmedia consumers would please stop calling the Cultivation World in mdzs 'Jianghu'. Where did it come from? That was not the term used in canon!

.

[danmei-confessions]

I know it's canon that they're the same height but to me, Mobei-Jun is taller than Binghe by like at least half a head

[danmei-confessions]

The fact that Jin Guangyao murdered Jin Rusong instead of making Qin Su miscarry is so weird. Like you're telling me he couldn't have gotten someone to get him something that would be taken for abortions or would cause miscarriages and slip it in some tea he's sharing with her? Cause personally, I think murdering a fetus is less cruel than murdering a little kid that's alive and breathing.

[danmei-confessions]

i don't get defending chengxian as not-incest by stating that they're sect brothers/wwx was never formally adopted/whatever else, when the text, through jyl, literally calls them all siblings. jyl refers to wwx as her little brother when she defends him at baifeng mountain and demands an apology for him, on the authority of being an elder sister.

i genuinely don't see how people can apply the true sibling relationship to wwx and jyl but then turn around and say it's different with wwx and jc. if jyl sees wwx as a sibling and vice versa, why would the same not apply to jc? and if we're running with the whole "well he wasn't really adopted," then wwx/jyl should also be a valid ship regardless of canon status and we all know it very much is not.

There isn't a system/identity reveal in svsss because mxtx didn't think it was important to the story, not because bingqiu is unhealthy without it. If we go by this logic the only person shen qingqiu could have a real relationship with is shang qinghua (let's hear it for cumplane). There wouldn't have been a reveal even if liushen or any other shen yuan ship had been endgame, just saying.
