Ari do you think Suguru is overprotective of his s/o and gets worried whenever you are late from work or uni? Or when you don’t answer your phone?

OH HE IS IN SHAMBLES . to me suguru is a very empathetic and emotionally sensitive person, and that bleeds into … most things involving you 😭😭 i think that if you went too long without answering your phone he would get physically anxious. finds it impossible to relax before he hears from you. he manages it fairly well on his own but he does worry about you a lot.. he’s absolutely overprotective and it manifests as this grating itch he can’t scratch. it also partially stems from his control freak tendencies — he needs to have everything under control. he needs to know where you are, that you’re okay.

it’s part of what i mean when i call suguru’s love a little suffocating because i don’t think he’s toxic, but i do think it could be overwhelming </3 he’s a mother hen at the end of the day. so please try to answer his calls when you can, it puts his weary heart at ease!!!!

Got a question for you It Never Happens AU. Do you ever imagine any of the party, King and Siffrin included having dreams of Bigfrin/The Lost One being generally menacing? Or even Mal Du Pays just mocking someone? Sorry if this seems random...

What do you mean by Shen Jiu being female-coded? /genq

Hello! To preface, in a lot of fandom spheres calling any cis gendered character "[gender]-coded" tends to be negative, usually to highlight poor writing or usage of harmful stereotypes, i.e., male-coded women being arrogant and demeaning to other women or female-coded men being sensitive and the butt of jokes among other men. However, there are instances where it is done and, rather than promote negative gender stereotypes it rather... Emphasises a masculine and feminine natures that resonate with people.

I am not always good with words, but there is [gender]-coded that is basically thinly veiled sexism and there is [gender]-coded that is simply nature. Think along the terms of pre Christian colonialism, where many cultures and religions have masculine energy and feminine energy defined outside of biological gender.

I see SJ as female coded because of how the fandom reacts/reacted to him. We don't got a lot of info on him, canon wise, at least not without heavy (and unreliable) bias. But there is a stark difference to how fandom treats him compared to the other men in the story.

And I don't mean in the sense of "he deserved what he got/he deserved so much better" discourse that surrounds him, but how fandom understands him.

Depending on where you fall, the degree of SJ's childhood trauma could range from demeaning slavery with a historically usual amount of abuse and demands to underage sexual abuse and torture. Regardless, the common thread is that men have control over his autonomy. Men (and nobility) dictate what he does, how he dresses, what he will receive, and how others percieve him. This is something SJ does not escape, even when he becomes a Peak Lord, although the degree has lessened by this time. He fails not just because of his actions, but due to the words and judgement of people who only see him on surface level and, thus, scrutinise his every action as "evidence" to their preconceived judgement.

And boy does fandom run with this!

And it makes sense because, a huge portion of danmei demographics are women... Women who understand all too well the dangers a negative statement can have on their livlihood.

This is why Shen Jiu is female coded, to me. Qui Jianluo, Wu Yanzi, Yue Qingyuan, Luo Binghe, even Shen Yuan, etc etc all, in some way, have taken his autonomy. QJL and WYZ did it with their abuse and power over him, YQY did it by undermining him and placating him (while allowing the bad rumours and his bad behaviours to persist), LBH through his revenge (literally crippled him), Shen Yuan quite literally takes over his body and has no regard for its treatment for most of the story.

In fandom, I think its telling that Qi Qingqi, Mu Qingfan, and Liu Qingge also feature as a prominent antaongist that contribute to Shen Jiu's abysmal reputation. Unfortunately, the three kinds of people women should feel protected by and safe with- other women, doctors, and those who uphold justice- are some of the main contributors to the problems they face. They aren't taken seriously, they're ostracised or put down, they're ignored or labeled as over emotional.

Its also telling that, for most fanfics/discussions/art/etc where Shen Jiu is "redeemed" or given a second chance, the main reason why he suceeds is because others listen to him. They let him have a voice and respect it. He is able to advocate for himself and not be torn down or turned away. And if he is, usually there's a man that stands by his side and acts as the "ally" or "bridge" that gets people taking him seriously.

Or, him being attached to a well-respected man is enough for people to change their opinions. Fandom can't help but reflect real life in their works.

So, with all that being said... I understand that there's going to be people who think this is a "bad take" because I rely so heavily on how the fandom portrays Shen Jiu, and that's fine. There will always be Bible-thumpers in every piece of media we consume, and they're here for good reason. But I consume stories for the feelings they evoke and the influence they have on others. People make connections, that's just what we do, and this is the connection I made.

Chat i am scared to check my inbox so i graciously offer another wip for fashion meme except you can tell which character in the video is when i finally understood the slide transition thing

[dandelionjack]

sometimes ‘unreliable narrator/pov protagonist’ is just ‘narrator/pov protagonist that is suffering from mental illness’. hill house reread and i’m thinking yeah, nell is unreliable to an extent, sure, because the house has chosen to fuck with her specifically as a scapegoat/‘fear condenser’ (crude, i’m aware. i’m not writing academically right now, sorry) for the others, but also this is just. eerily close to how a person with severe social anxiety experiences the world around them and social (friendly) interactions through the lens of their disorder, even without the irresistible influence of vile and deranged architecture. speaking from experience. it’s the same with merricat and ocd but i’ve already talked about that i think and plus she is the actual narrator
