I didn't realise i made this entirely in olruggio's pov

[spring-spite]

i love olruggio witchhat so much. he’s a sun-coded black cat. he’s a lethally chronic procrastinator. he’s a girl dad. he lies to the police. his magic is warm. his kids bully him and they’re right. he’s in a decade-long magically induced situationship, but he doesn’t know it’s cursed and he’s in it for love of the game. he’s lowkey a celebrity but chooses to live in a cottage on the countryside with said situationship and their four children. he sleeps on the couch. he was a crazy child. he’s a bit of a picky eater. he has chronic anemia and is two minutes away from passing out at all times. he hates hurting things so much that he struggles to kill a disgusting giant leech. he’s a burnt out gifted kid. he is begrudgingly excellent at one of his jobs and on-purposely atrocious at the other one. he has a baby face and is nearly unrecognizable without his beard. he carries an enormous, inexplicable guilt. he’s the sky’s kindest, most radiant star. he’s the perfect man

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

Ahhh yes. A dragon and his mortal enemy. The accountant.

Anyone care for some orufrey?

I can't find the post i made about it before but just a reminder that Binghe takes the concept of consent extremely seriously

When Shang Qinghua asks about it in the 100 questions extra, Binghe straight up says he wouldn't want to have sex with someone unless they were into it

In the RPF extra, Binghe said he'd stop at a furrow of Shen Yuan's brow and Shen Yuan agreed

And we even see this this in action when Binghe steps down the second Shen Yuan says no to something

Even when Binghe was out of his mind at Maigu Ridge having a qi deviation, Luo Binghe still asked Shen Yuan why he hadn't pushed him away or killed him

TLDR: anyone who portrays luo binghe as a sex creep is going against canon and is mischaracterizing him!

The first year of the After was the easiest. He was so angry that he could bleed with it. With the how could hes and the why did hes, he didn't have much space to think about Him, At All. And how he wasn't Here anymore, and how they can never go back.

The second year of the After was the hardest. He found that if he didn't hold on to the anger very tightly that it would vanish, and it did, all at once. And when the anger was gone, all that was left was the Loneliness and the Emptiness;two concepts that weren't as similar as he originally thought.

Also, the Great Big Sad. It felt like a physical thing. Like a Yoke. He got used to it, in the later years, this yoke. Infact in

[starseekerstar]

This too lmao

But its a part 2 to this

[starseekerstar]

This isn't how it was meant to go. This isn't how he planned it. It was supposed to be easy, a play in three acts. i. he frees the girls ii. he ends the village. iii. Satoru kills him.

He's not meant to be here, 10 years later, declaring war on his people. This isn't how it was supposed to go. Why won't Satoru kill him?

Why is he still on the stage, performing?

[starseekerstar]

I genuinely thought i was cooking with this one lol

Okay one really funny thing about liu yao is how much embarrassment yan zhengming had to go through in the mount azure arc.

Its a transmigration novel but not from the point of view of the transmigrator. First time I've read one like this, and it was funny to see how weird a transmigrator can be in the eyes of outsiders.

The entire book is just the gong doing whatever he can to please the shou will trying his absolute best to be as lazy as possible. Want🧍🏾to kill🫢 the crown👑 prince👹 cause he looked💩 at you funny👺? Alright👌🏾 I'll help😪 you my beautiful 😍❤️ wife 😚💟.

Oh yeah and they get married thrice👍🏾

He was already dead. He's going to die. He's coming back. He's leaving again. He's dead. He's not dead. He's living on borrowed time He was dead since the very beginning.

Our science teacher composed a poem to discourage us from entering into relationships. I just remembered it now and it reminds me so much of my favourite ships.

I love you. You love me. Your love will kill me. And i will die.

I didn't mean for it to turn out like this but this is pretty cool
