nailing my theses to the door: the way hua cheng acts about xie lian is precisely how those carefully non-toxic insane kpop stans behave. like “i love them and support them no matter what” and “let’s respect their boundaries” and “let’s raise a ridiculous amount of money for charity in their name” but also “every inch of my bedroom walls are plastered with their face” and “i spend hours every day getting into arguments online defending them against haters” and “i collected all 700 of their album photocards” and “i have them blocked on twitter so they can’t see my smut fics” and most importantly “if they end up dating someone i’d be devastated, but as long as they’re happy id support them no matter what”
#tgcf#hualian#my hyperfixation demon#tgcf meta#meta stuff#i have a whole au about this#but also as a veteran non toxic insane kpop stan#like. the way hc acts about xie lian is exactly just that#the parasocial relationship is real but he is acutely aware it is one sided#and he goes to great lengths to personally police himself against crossing any boundaries#that’s why i SAY. he tries so hard not to be toxic#but it doesn’t mean his obsession isn’t utterly insane and over the top. bc it is#but he’s self aware and tries to do it in a way that won’t hurt xie lian in any way#have u guys ever navigated the non toxic stan culture that exists on social media. it’s a minefield. the way they fucking talk#anyway
