maomao when every important figure in the empire keeps asking for her help

[quijotine]

maomao is my favorite "not like other girls" style protagonist bc for one shes a girls girl through and through. to the bone. and two she's just a weird little freak. absolute lunatic. they have the whole "omg she's actually beautiful and everyone falls for her when she's all made up" trope but the punchline is that she does not fucking want to look like that. she actively puts dirt on her face every day bc she does not want to be perceived as attractive (mostly out of fear of being used for sex work though at the same time she has the utmost respect for women who do sex work like she grew up in a brothel those are her sisters). she's Sherlock level smart and solves every mystery so fast but goes "well thats none of my business. anyway back to testing poisons on myself" she has the 2nd most powerful guy in the nation head over heels in love with her and is like "man this guy is weird around me what's his deal. I guess he's fine though because he gives me rare medicines and has no dick" fucking ICON i love her. also she once slapped someone so hard they fell on the floor. 10/10

Malta: okay, well just moan in a super horny way that’s even worse than saying “Kant”

Malicious compliance, gotta love it. Now that’s a diva!

There's actually a whole chapter dedicated to citing studies like this in "Bi: The hidden culture, history, and science of bisexuality", where the researcher suggests that the "default" state of mating dynamics might be bisexuality and not heterosexuality.

She talks about some really interesting evidence, I believe it was with some sort of chimp, where the scientists of the study argue that sex may have more than just the reproductive function in nature. Because across species (and also in chimp species) different studies have gathered evidence that sex is practiced as mediation, as a bargaining chip, as a way to build trust, and most importantly, just because it's fun and feels good for the animal. Reproduction is just one more of those functions.

The researcher that wrote the book mentioned that in hindsight, it's kind of dumb to assume that the only animals that mate for reproduction are the only ones that get to mate at all because first, sexual selection is one of the filters of evolution but it doesn't prevent the "unselected" animals from having sex at all, and second, it's a natural urge (as proved by the studies in citation) that is satisfied by the act of sex in itself, not the act of reproduction. Sort of how when you're really hungry, it doesn't matter what you eat, so long as you eat something. Or on the flip side, when you're not hungry but wanna eat something, and since you can afford to be picky, you eat what you actually like. Same with animals and sex. When it's not about reproduction (because sex doesn't go away whether there's reproductive partners or not), animals just. fool around with each other for no other reason than that they simply want to. Hence, there's good reason to believe some animals' default, particularly among mammals, is to be bi.

Random fact: They did a study on courtship and mating behavior of American alligators at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in the early 1980's. This study revealed that, among other things, the majority of alligator sex is gay
