I will say, for a guy whose social media presence is mostly about self-help books, protein-maxxing and cold plunges (which is to say, someone I perceive as deeply heterosexual), Joss really can kiss the fuck out of Gawin. He sells it every time.
test?
reblog if you pan, bi, gay etc
like if you are straight
So apparently 🤏🏼in Thai is 🤜🏼 in English?
One thing I've always deeply admired about Wei Wuxian is his unshakable hopefulness. He moves through life with such playful lightless, yet every step he takes leaves an indelible mark on the world and the people around him.
For all that he embodies the heaviest virtues- honor, integrity, an unwavering commitment to doing what is right, he never lets the weight of those ideals extinguish his spark. Even after losing everything- his golden core, his family ties, his reputation, he comes back in his second life still teasing, still laughing, still choosing kindness first.
No matter how dark the circumstances, he retains his faith in life and in humanity. People are inherently good and are worth saving is literally his core belief. This belief is not naive, yet a deliberate choice he makes again and again which saves from the quicksands of fear and despair all around him.
Thats why I think MXTX in her parting words said-" hope you all be like Wei Wuxain in character and Lan Wangji in virtue' because Wei Wuxian's character is the embodiment of how to retain this hope, this love, this faith in humanity, in life. His resilience is not in fighting against whats wrong but in choosing to see the light time and again

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
[suddenly] theme of the day:
#give me ALL the drunk!wangji content ✳ @intoxicatingimmediacy
ok 😆😆
I was telling the whole Jin Ling's Uncle bit to one of my friends who isn't into danmei and they were like
"y'know I kinda hate it when Everything revolves around the MC"
and I was like, "oh, JL isentd the MC"
then they asked, "then who's the MC?"
i looked them Dead In The Eyes and responded:
"Jin. Ling's. Uncle."
okay tumblr’s exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks “where can i find you on social media” and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of y’all change urls every week like you’re in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didn’t send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words “connect with me on tumblr!” is on the ao3 profile of an author i’m actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.
fully obsessed with the people in the notes who are like “i don’t know what y’all are worried about 🙄 i simply curate an entire dummy tumblr account connected to a different email address where i reblog a regular stream of cute animals and aesthetic pictures of old buildings and then give that url out instead” like they’re maintaining a deep cover identity for a cold war spy. completely normal behavior.
a funny thing about this being one of my more popular posts is that in all truth i DO tell people out loud that i'm on tumblr, and the myth that this site is dead is so pervasive that it absolutely does not matter. i can say “i have a tumblr” present tense, or “i am going home after work tonight to spend a ridiculous amount of time on tumblr,” or even “here is a direct link to a post on my personal tumblr blog, that i made just now today about a currently happening event,” and they’re like “wow i remember hearing about tumblr. how many years ago is this from?” it quite simply will not sink in. great news for the “i do not wish to be perceived” crowd we are actually comically impervious to it.
We need happy and wholesome nice queer representation to remind us that being queer doesn't doom you to a short life of loneliness and misery and we need fucked up and toxic queer representation to remind us that queer people are human beings who are messy and complicated and are not required to be beacons of moral goodness

American Television after 5 years of pushing for queer representation: I hope you wanted unnecessary drama, angst with a maybe resolution, and three unfulfilling seasons of questionably written flirtation. And that all comes before anything is half-confirmed with a singular lukewarm kissing scene between two conventionally attractive, white bisexual women!
Thai Television .3 seconds after they figured out queer content is marketable: Did you want something kinky, soft, or stupid? Did you want cat ears? We’ve got cat ears! We’ve got safe/sane/consensual OR off-the-charts bad etiquette BDSM. We’ve got college students out the ass! As long as they’re an engineer or architect, choose your flavor. Do you want an age gap or classmates? Something for adults? Teens? Everyone was childhood besties, how about that??? This is a short order restaurant and I will flip you some gays like they’re hotcakes, just tell me what you want.
Okay so I've been following you for ages and you're cool and we vibe but I have NO idea what this chinese live-action show you're obsessed with is. Gimme the sales pitch, I've been looking for something new to watch. Convert me.
The untamed is an adaptation of a fantasy bl web novel about a DEEPLY oblivious necromancer and the man that's been in love with him since they were teenagers. It's a murder mystery, and also a political drama, and also a high school rom com, and also a Greek tragedy, and also a fantasy action/adventure series. Sometimes it's several of these at once.
It opens with the main character, infamous inventor of necromancy Wei Wuxian, waking up sixteen years after his death in someone else's body. He has a month to kill everyone his original summoner wanted revenge against, except he doesn't know who they are because the guy who summoned him is no longer in this body. Then he runs into his nephew (whose parents he killed), his brother (who killed him), his zombie best friend (who was supposed to be cremated sixteen years ago), and his ex-boyfriend (who has sworn to eradicate all evil, like for example mass murdering necromancers!), and attempts to keep his true identity a secret. And mostly fails from the get go, because he is the poster child for disaster bisexuals. Inserted into this story is a flashback to Wei Wuxian's coming of age in a territory on the brink of war, the circumstances that led to him inventing necromancy to save himself and his loved ones, his villanization by his peers, and his eventual fall from grace and suicide via fratricide.
"But wait," you may ask, "is it queerbaiting or are they actually together?" I will say this: the gay romance is as explicit as they were legally allowed to make it under Chinese censorship, and also
You can watch it on Netflix, Viki, or legally on YouTube. All the subtitles are apparently of equal quality (middling and teetering over bad), but the acting way makes up for it. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are fantastic leads, and their supporting cast is equally talented. Every episode has me remembering this show won actual awards.
is the sun bothering you my queen?
The reviews for Heart Burger must be spectacular:
"Free show with every meal. Service is so-so."
"slowest service on the planet. I think they make everything from scratch. Doesn't matter, you're not here to eat. Every day during the lunch rush this twink in a crop top appears like a comet foretelling a great doom. I'd assume it was a kink thing but I think he and his boyfriend (works in the kitchen) genuinely hate each other. Riveting."
"The carbonara is okay. The burger are pretty good. Whatever the owner has going on with his boyfriend is great tho."
thailand needs to make a batman movie specifically so jeff satur can play catwoman send tweet
