Byf;

I do reblog nsfw and body horror art/text so if that's not your cup of tea feel free to block. I am also not comfortable with minors following me, if your age isn't visible I'm going to have to block.

This is going to be a reblog heavy blog, I will try to make my own post from time to time.

Please, no jk/r fans should interact, I do not support terfs especially terfs that use their money to oppress others, trans women are women, trans men are men.

Bigots of any kind are not welcome here, you get an immediate block.

I don't "hate" characters (anti "insert character") I find that to be a complete waste of time & energy. I'm not going to spend time writing a think piece about how if you like "insert character" you're actually a terrible person, equating liking a character to ones morals is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, to me, the most annoying thing a character can be is boring.

I do love me my villainous characters so if this ruffles your feathers and hinders all logical thoughts then yeah this blog isn't for you.

to note: i like jiang cheng & jin guangyao some of you lose your minds when it comes to the above characters so i'm typing this out now, if you hate these characters hop of my blog and block me, it'd be better for the both of us.

I'm a multi-shipper so if you're the type to spit blood over people "disrespecting" canon ships stay away from me, life's too short to be dealing with the likes of you. It's an immediate block.

I utilise the hell out of that block button, I like my own space to be filled with things I enjoy, so no offence, if you find yourself blocked by me I most certainly don't vibe with you, or you have something in your pinned that made me block you.

i'm very open to others interpretation of media (books, series etc) but if you come on to my blog screeching at me about why your reading is the supposed "best one" completely ignoring subjectivity, i'm blocking you, don't be a rude dog.

I'll add to this if there's anything I'm forgetting.

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

shipping has a deserved reputation of being able to nuke ppl’s understanding of the source material but i would argue that ppl with intense hate boners for certain ships are very capable of matching them in this regard

a relationship and dynamic with another character can be a huge component of characters and their development and themes. it may be a fundamental part of their stories. a bias coming from the opposite direction can lead to just as laughable analysis regarding the bigger picture

Any fic that acts as if Lan Wangji cares about Jin Ling in any form besides as "this person Wei Wuxian loves" or that Jin Ling trusts Lan Wangji at all except as vaguely "this authority figure who won't let me come to harm from an external threat" needs a 20 chapter spin off detailing the development of this relationship because in canon Jin Ling shows no trust in Lan Wangji even by the end of the story and Lan Wangji is just an asshole to that kid.

OP: If ordinary people wear commoner-style Hanfu, will it enhance their aura as much as wearing elaborate Hanfu?

Got a message asking why so many hanfu in transformation videos are elaborate styles for officials and nobles, like do "commoners’ hanfu" get no representation? That's actually one of the hot topics in China's hanfu community. It's been discussed so many times, and there are already a lot of well-formed views on this.

The revival of hanfu is incredibly diverse and inclusive — commoners’ hanfu is definitely part of it. In this context, “commoners’ hanfu” generally refers to simpler clothing with less decoration and less luxurious fabrics, worn by everyday people like peasants, townsfolk, urban residents, small traders, household servants and so on (they held no official posts and had no noble titles, and they weren't wealthy merchants either). Hanfu enthusiasts have actually recreated many such styles based on historical records.

Back in feudal times, ordinary people were not allowed to wear colors reserved for the imperial family or use embroidery patterns that symbolized noble rank or official status. This doesn't mean they dressed in rags—far from it. In dynasties known for open social customs and economic prosperity, commoners, especially women, could dress quite elegantly and colorfully. Chinese people in those era placed great importance on festivals. During celebrations like the Lantern Festival, Spring Festival, and Shangsi Festival(Double Third Festival for Spring Outing), they would go out to meet people, so they pay extra attention to their attire. It was very common for ordinary people to save up for a few nice sets of clothing — not being wealthy didn’t mean they had no decent clothes to wear.

Particularly during the Song and Ming dynasties, it was common for ordinary people to wear brocade. In the Song dynasty, wearing floral headpieces(huaguan花冠) was popular among women, whether noble or common. By the Ming dynasty, women could even wear bridal attire resembling phoenix crowns and embroidered capes(feng guan xia pei凤冠霞帔) for their weddings — as long as they avoided patterns exclusive to the nobility. Even maids from noble households could dress in lavish and delicate attire, thanks to the advanced silk weaving techniques of the time. Though they were commoners by status, their clothing was often indistinguishable from that of the young ladies of wealthy families.

Also you can often see commoner men in classical paintings wearing long robes like formal gowns, cloaks, or even loose-sleeved garments, while commoner women usually wore a top layered over a skirt. Basically, commoners and nobles wore very similar styles of clothing. The real differences were in the fabric, decorative patterns, and craftsmanship.

In discussions among Chinese netizens, there is a divide in opinions regarding Hanfu. Some argue that there should be greater promotion of "commoner hanfu""everyday hanfu""modern hanfu" – simpler, more practical styles suitable for daily wear and relaxing at home – rather than always opting for elaborate, ornate Hanfu that requires time-consuming hairstyling and makeup. Others believe that in the modern era, intricate Hanfu represents the artistic heritage of past laborers and artisans, not just the privileged class, and that people should be free to wear whatever they prefer.

Nowadays hanfu content creators widely share this sentiment: Many of today's Chinese people are descendants of resilient ordinary ancestors who survived generations of war, natural disasters and hardships. In this era of material abundance, they now wear exquisitely crafted hanfu. Wearing hanfu feels like fulfilling a long-cherished wish on behalf of their forebears—after all, everyone hopes to dress as they please; These garments embody the craftsmanship, wisdom, and diligence of historical laboring people (even royal hanfu was made by embroiderers and weavers, who themselves came from ordinary backgrounds); so exquisitely crafted hanfu never belonged exclusively to the wealthy; it truly belongs to the people.

Of course, not all hanfu content creators share the same view. Some hanfu bloggers still believe that daily outings should feature simpler, more casual Hanfu styles rather than always dressing in elaborate attire. Their reasoning is: “I still hold the view that the revival of Hanfu depends on reaching a broader market. Only when people who don’t follow traditional culture become aware of Hanfu can it truly take root.” Other bloggers respond in a more conversational tone: “Public tastes vary. While some prefer simplicity, most people are first drawn to eye-catching, gorgeous outfits, which then spark their interest to learn more. I don’t think we should dictate what others should wear—clothing is a personal expression. Those who prefer simple, everyday styles should wear them, and those who love intricate designs should embrace those.” In practice, it’s common for people to switch between different Hanfu styles depending on the occasion and their needs. Many content creators have also shown interest in commoners hanfu and have recreated styles suitable for both lounging at home and going out.

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.
