oh you want a well-written female character in heated rivalry? right this way! would you like sexy childhood best friend who shows up whenever you need sex but never asks for anything more in terms of commitment or emotional support? or how about Baby Machine 5000 whose only defining traits are that she is a wife who loves to cook for others? no? then can i interest you in the unwitting beard who has nothing but sympathy and understanding for the man that strung her along and lied to her? or what about tiger mom? you guys love tiger mom, right??

wtf your treacherous uncle just bit me

to be honest i think ilya razzes scott hunter even more after he comes out and it’s mostly a joke but some of it comes from a very real place of ohhhh my godddd this other orphan is suchhhh a chicken pussy about being gay and he isn’t even under threat of being disappeared forever to the gulag

[hunybody]

scott hunter voice Living my authentic truth was really frightening. for a long time i couldn’t even imagine it. But then i realized… the only thing holding me back… was me

ilya rozanov, six months after scott hunter comes out and getting sort of tired of this whole huge ordeal: Wow. cannot believe they have not given you, what do they call this. medal of bravery.

[hunybody]

shane voice You’re such a fucking liar rozanov you thought it was brave.

ilya voice Yes this was before i knew he had no real problems in his life i thought perhaps he also had an evil brother who is “not” mob police threatening him with glock each christmas but it turns out this is not the case. He was scared of brooklyn art gallery

bitch moment: obviously this is subjective but a lot of modern queer lit (especially YA) has this specific tone that i find really grating. i want to call it "smug" but that's not exactly it. it's more like, that sense that the author is utterly convinced of the correctness of their own worldview and expects everyone else to agree with them on principle

[beaft]

two poles on this one btw

author is scared of me = terrified of ambiguity, uses excruciatingly precise language to avoid being misinterpreted, treats diversity as a box-ticking exercise, bends over backwards to explain itself when Literally No One Asked, all morally grey actions have to be immediately justified and resolved

author wants me dead = protagonist is unfailingly righteous and good, antagonist is irredeemably evil strawman, narrative refuses to make space for opinions/experiences that don't perfectly match up with the author's perspective, lots of Teachable Moments where an ignorant character is kindly shown the error of their ways by a wiser, more enlightened character

[mikkeneko]

#these things are not opposites on a spectrum#I see these mindsets packaged together more often than not#the author wants you dead because they are scared of you
