the problem with the gay hockey show is that the acting is great, the lighting is great, the music and costuming are great, the care taken is incredible, but you can't recommend it to normal people without sounding like a pervert

My life as a serial m|m shipper

[undead-moth]

I do love that when the Heated Rivalry’s show runner was asked about casting queer actors to play queer characters he ignored the bait and was just straight up like “You can’t ask that. That’s illegal.” lmao because yeah. It is. Weird how a lot of discourse on this subject acts like this is not a factor.

[atomictourists]

Piping hot take: I don't give a shit if straight actors play queer characters as long as they do so with empathy and authenticity. When you say shit like "only queer actors should play queer characters" what you're actually saying is only OUT queer actors should play queer characters. If you're assuming an actor (or anyone else, for that matter) who hasn't declared their sexuality is straight, you are participating in heteronormativity.

Most underrated character in mdzs is Mianmian's husband. My guy saw a woman so badass and hot that he gave up his cushy merchant life to follow her around with heart eyes. Dudes is so comfortable in his masculinity he's like yeah this is my wife she's the breadwinner (we're poor asf) and she can bench three of me. Buddy is drinking respect woman juice like wwx drinks emperor's smile. He's the world's #1 wife guy and he's RIGHT.

[seineko]

okay like a new headcanon.

after everything, wwx and lwj frequently meet up with mrs. and mr. mianmian and hang out.

mr. mianmian and lwj are silently simping over their spouses. they silently brag about them but never really try to one up another, just listening to each other gush about their respective spouses.

mrs. mianmian and wwx, on the other hand, have full blown debates about who has a better husband, constantly trying to one up one another at every small thing, especially their husbands' sacrifices.

"my husband gave up his merchant life just to be with me."

"my husband waited for me to come back for 13 entire years, pined for even longer, and he was prepared to do so for his entire life!"

and so on.

wwx passes on the "yuandao" title to mr. mianmian officially. (lwj is very happy).

the juniors tag along for one meeting and xiao mianmian is instantly in love with sizhui, following him around like a tiny little puppy.

Say it with me folks:

“Eat the rich” means 1%ers and billionaires

middle class is closer to poverty than being a multimillionaire

“The rich” does NOT include children of billionaires (come on we’re at least slightly better than the plagues of Egypt)

Upper middle class children SHOULD NOT feel guilt over having money

Being aware of privilege and using your privilege to help others IS NOT a guilt trip

Constantly feeling guilty helps no one

Billionaires, however, should feel guilty over hoarding wealth.

Upper middle class is NOT rich

My uncle was one of the top surgeons in the country. He was upper middle class definitely. When he got cancer, his insurance didn’t cover all the treatments he would need and after 5 years he drained his savings on cancer treatments (while still working most of that time) and eventually died because he couldn’t afford the expensive treatments that might have saved him.

If you are upper middle class and you get sick, it will likely bankrupt your family. It’s fucked.

[olddukeofficial]

For all of the idiots in the notes ^

[dancinbutterfly]

Honest to god - even if you make 6 figures a year? you're closer to poverty than true wealth. Check your shit and remember who your real allies and enemies are guys.

[uvradical]

A 6 figure income is a lot right? That’s say: 223,000 dollars a year Which is 112 dollars an hour. Most people would consider that upper middle class. That’s enough money to have a nice house, go on fun vacations. That’s slight more than the average doctor makes.

223,000 dollars is what Jeff Bezo makes in a minute

the well-off and the rich are not the same. 

[simonalkenmayer]

There was a wonderful study done about 15 years ago I think, that shows that people cannot accurately identify their income bracket. Most people who own a home think they are upper middle class when in fact they are closer to the poverty line. Even people living well below poverty often identify as middle class. The wealth gap is even worse now. I wonder if anyone actually knows their financial standing.

One of the things that is most obvious about Wei Wuxian as a character is that he is self-sacrificing. This is clear from his willingness to let Madam Yu cut his hand off, to diverting negative attention onto himself, to taking on negative consequences, to his ultimate sacrifices.

The more interesting aspect of this is why he is so self-sacrificing, and it seems here is where a lot of fandom seems to diverge. It's such a fundamentally important thing to understand his character though, and I've been trying to put my finger on it the last few weeks. His self-sacrificing nature, in my mind, comes down to two key things.

Wei Wuxian does not think his life is more important than anyone else's.

Wei Wuxian is very smart and very strong and knows it.

Neither of these stem from low self-worth. Saying he isn't more important than anyone else isn't downplaying his own worth, it is a statement of pure compassion. Every life is equally important. (Which is fascinating in a Buddhist sense, in opposition to the hierarchy of the gentry and the idea of individual pursuit of immortality as a somewhat self-centered and detached path, if one were to interpret it that way.)

As for the second, this seems to be the one that is too often forgotten. Wei Wuxian is often willing to undertake these self-sacrificing actions because he is confident that he will be able to survive, adapt, and find a way forward when no one else could. (I'll just learn to sword fight with my left hand, I'll just invent an entirely new way of cultivating, I can just live without this thing that almost everyone else who loses it dies without.) Again, this is not low self-worth. It's almost the opposite. He's so arrogant! So certain of his own amazing abilities and intelligence! For the most part, he's right, he does manage to adapt and overcome, but if he has a flaw, it lies here, in this arrogant assumption of his own unassailable abilities.

Even the idea that maybe he's been conditioned to think his value is in what he can do for other people aligns with this. Not as a 'I have nothing to offer besides this' sense, but almost a 'well, others might only have themselves to offer to the world, but I am more useful because I'm a genius and I can make this world be righteous.' Which can quickly slide down into 'well others can need to depend on people or even depend on me for things, but I don't need to depend on others.' Yes, that also smacks of 'you can't trust people to stay' from his childhood trauma or whatever, but it is still rooted in his strengths and his arrogance, not low self-worth. (Which is why him letting LWJ take care of him eventually is such a big deal!)

It's such a compelling mix! He's so compassionate! He's so unwilling to accept bad outcomes or unrighteousness! And he's arrogant enough to think he can overcome anything! What a fascinating mess!

Omg so TRUE, I love him so much

People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2025

[kaliandra]

Though life's circumstances had stolen years they might have shared, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian had a new start. Every single moment together now carried the weight of all the years they’d lost, as if love had bound them from the moment they met. Wei Wuxian made sure they spent every minute together, getting a little too happy and a little too at ease for GusuLan’s standards. Not that Lan Wangji cared. Seeing Wei Wuxian smiling because of him was all he ever needed.

so a very long time ago, my dad worked with an arson investigator

this guy was often one of the first people on the scene following a suspected arson, once emergency services had done what they needed to do. at times, there were also civilians on the periphery. often, they were freaking out, and understandably so; their home or workplace had just, quite literally, gone up in smoke

this investigator wouldn’t try to calm them down. he wouldn’t comfort them or be a shoulder to cry on.

instead, he’d walk up to the person most visibly losing their shit, hand them a fire extinguisher, and say “hey, can you keep an eye out for any other fires, and if you see one, can you put it out with this?”

of course, there was no actual risk of another fire. he wouldn’t be on the scene investigating if there was even a chance that the fire wasn’t completely put out. but the bystander didn’t need to know that

because that person, without fail, would immediately pull it together, take the fire extinguisher, and stand guard. they were, at least temporarily, calm enough for this investigator to do this job

my dad has told me the parable of the fire extinguisher a hundred times, and i think about it a lot. i think about what it says about people and crises. i think about what it says about the grounding power of having a purpose. and i think about the importance of letting someone help me through something, even if that help is just going to be another casserole to throw into the freezer, because useless or not, that fire extinguisher might be the only thing holding them together
