baihe novels

for those of you who think danmei (chinese boy’s love) is pretty neat, here’s some baihe (chinese girl’s love) for you.

unlike danmei, which is written mostly by heterosexual women, baihe is mainly written by queer women and often focus on female empowerment which isn’t really a thing in the case of danmei as our male leads are already privileged. so if you’re bi, les, gay, questioning or just curious, give baihe a shot!

this carrd link is really cute and really nicely put together! hope it’s helpful!

“unlike danmei, which is written mostly by heterosexual women” This reads like the same “straight women write slash and lesbians write f/f” I saw in the 90s and early 00s.

since writing this post, I’ve seen quite a few responses questioning that line and I have to admit it was ignorant of me to write generalise writers into categories based on sexuality. 

orginally, I didn’t expect this post to even pass 50 notes and I’m still surprised by the recent increase. so I guess part of the reason why I wrote that line back then was to advertise baihe novels, but did it by unintentionally bringing danmei writers down. although I didn’t mean to, I did write it, and so I apologise and will edit this post :D

baihe novels

in comparison to danmei, baihe seems super underrated- it’s a little sad to see how little content there is out there in the baihe fandom on tumblr. but guys, we all need a little bit of lesbian in us, so for those of you who think danmei (chinese boy’s love) is pretty neat, here’s some baihe (chinese girl’s love) for you.

so unfortunately the link in the heart is no longer working, but I found another carrd which is similar to the first, though I’m not sure if it’s the same, but anyway I’ll link it here

happy reading!

520 and Wenzhou

Wenzhou shows their love in different ways and both of them without knowing it, is the kind of love they needed in their lives.

Wen Kexing shows his by putting food in his soulmate’s bowl before anyone else’s, putting his sleeves infront of him to protect, spouting poems, booking a whole inn, cooking by himself and by listening to his soulmate’s woes at night when everything is quiet and all they have is each other.

Zhou Zishu’s love is silent. He shows it through his warm embraces, his firm grip, his bravery when fighting everyone despite his weakened body, his offering of a home and a family to man he barely knows and the promise of a life of freedom from the darkness of their pasts.

They show their love to each other by drinking wine and sparring. They say “I love you” by saying their names while basking under the sun.

It’s love that they can offer and both need and it is enough.

#fascinated by the way they’re both so afraid of genuine vulnerability #so they over perform helplessness as a joke to get the care and attention they want (via @sugarbabywenkexing)

[elenalost]

Never thought about this way. I'm just happy to see how they became more open about their own vulnerability and insecurities while being in more and more direct and straightforward with each other.

HOW TO ASK SOMEONE OUT ON A DATE by wenzhou

[elenalost]

OMG I JUST REMEMBERED THE FIRST TIME they really went into an making out session was on the SCORPION's ROOF. Maybe in this very exact time at the novel. Soooooo maybe the "making a bigg mess" it's means "messing around" and the scriptwriter meant to refer to it?

Okay, obviously I'm just overreacting, but it's nice to imagine. And not hard to, if you think about how much time they left hidden sign for us to refer to their real relationship, it's imaginable.
