[transfemmbeatrice]

seeing someone say “house constantly implies he’s trans but never says what his gender is” and then using what conclusions people jump to as a way to learn about THEM. and i’m obsessed with it

house doesn’t really care, his gender is “i just work here” but he does love to fuck with people. he caught onto “did you just assume my gender??” very early on and has NEVER let it go

wilson is like “no i didn’t assume your gender but i have to use SOME kind of pronouns for you because if i say your name any more often i’m going to get put on a LIST” [that one courtesy of my spouse]

house is like “actually i prefer amateur nouns” and wilson just starts making up neopronouns for him. including stuff like “cunt/cunts/cuntself” which house responds to without batting an eye.

genuinely i think house’s gender is “i don’t Mind this, transitioning is too much work, and being a man makes the world easier to navigate” but he does like to get a little funky with it from time to time. on special occasions (which could be anything from ‘cool party’ to ‘fuck with taub’ to ‘crack this patients egg.’)

Canon/Headcanon likelihood chart

So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)

I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy. Image description under the cut.

Inspiration:

ID courtesy of @hatreds-og-imagedescriptions (thank you!!)

[ID: a chart going from 10 to 1, with explanations of the ratings on the left and images of characters with queer flags and descriptions of said characters on the right.

10: "Explicit canon. Clearly stated in the original media." Trans Barney from Dead end Paranormal Park. "Barney says "I'm transgender"".

9: "Implicit canon. Never explicitly stated, but 100% canon in the original media". Nonbinary Raine from The Owl House. "Raine never says "I'm nonbinary," but uses they/them and is never referred to as a man/woman (also, confirmed by Dana)".

8: "Creator confirmation. Never stated in the original media, but confirmed canon by the media's creator". Aroace Lilith from The Owl House. "While never mentioned/implied in TOH, Dana has confirmed that Lilith is aroace".

7: "Heavily implied. Never confirmed, but likely true (either by canon evidence or creator implication)". Genderfluid Nimona from Nimona. ""Aaand now you're a boy" "I am today" (anyway, the whole movie has trans/GNC themes)".

6: "Possibly implied. Hinted at in the original media, but could be explained as something else". Trans Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. "Doof COULD be transmasc, or the whole "raised as a girl" thing could just be for the bit".

5: "Fanon. Never confirmed, but generally accepted by the fandom". Aromantic Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. "While only confirmed to be ace, most of the fandom also sees Alastor as aromantic".

4: "HC with evidence. Headcanons supported by a dedicated fan's detective work". Bisexual Mabel from Gravity Falls. "People have noticed bi flag stickers hidden on Mabel's scrapbooks".

3: "Canon neutrality. Could be true, could be false, but overall makes sense and doesn't contradict the original media". Genderqueer Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch. "Maybe Pleakley is genderqueer, maybe he just wanted to crossdress for the mission, who knows? That's why it's a headcanon."

2: "I made it the fuck up. Based on vibes, has absolutely nothing to do with canon". Bisexual Megamind from Megamind. "No evidence, no explanation, he just has Disaster Bi™ vibes".

1: "Um? No? But go off. Directly contradicts canon (but who cares, that's why it's fun)". Trans Stanley Pines from Gravity Falls. "Even though flashback scenes prove Stan is AMAB, some people HC him as transmasc." End of ID.]

Tumblr crashed and killed my post and I'm too lazy to go find what I was reblogging, but:

You need to understand that there is a type of right-wing person who is (relatively) sex positive.

You need to understand this because it explains some "contradictions" but more importantly so that you won't assume someone isn't wildly right wing just because they're sex-positive. These people still have horribly opinions on a lot of things, including sexual ones. They just don't think it's Inherently Wrong to do "weird stuff" in the bedroom.

I always describe this viewpoint as "it's okay to get freaky, but don't be a freak".

They're making a distinction between things you DO and things you ARE. They hate the latter, and think the former is fine.

This is a big part of why you get "confusing" things like right-wingers who are against trans people but those same people might enjoy crossdressing during sex. They're fine with wearing girls clothes while they get pegged, but don't think you should be allowed to go by she/her in the workplace if you're AMAB. Crossdressing is a thing you do. Being trans is something you are.

And the post I was trying to reply to was about swingers disliking polyamorous people: it's the same thing. Swinging is a thing you do: they're having freaky sex. What's wrong with that?

But polyamory? Having multiple partners at the same time, even when you're not fucking at the moment? That sounds like something you are.

Basically it seems to be the worldview of people who are sex-positive (to an extent! I don't want to overstate their positivity) in their personal life, but are against "the decay of society".

They're basically conservatives nostalgic for an imagined world where everyone has 1950s social roles in public, but can get up to whatever weird sex stuff they want behind closed doors.

I don't know how much this kind of few point is due to libertarian influence on these kinds of right wingers (where they've internalized the "the government shouldn't tell me what to do" part of the ideology, but still think "the government should tell those weirdos to get cut it out" is fine), or how much this is because of the rise of 4chan as an alt-right meeting spot, and that site was (and still is) partially a porn site.

It's slightly hard to argue that all sex besides married missionary for procreation is immoral when you're one click away from threads full of anal-toy-howtos and pregnant "dickgirl" hentai. (Not that they don't try, sometimes)

Just keep the fact that these people exist in mind: it'll better explain some of the strange opinions you sometimes see online.

It's probably also a major driving force behind Bidoof's law. They can easily argue against something innocuous like polyamory or trans people while filling their own timeline to with images of trans orgies, because they think Doing Sex Stuff is morally neutral, but Being Stuff is inherently wrong. You can cross dress or swing, that's fine, whatever gets your rocks off. But you can't be trans or be poly. That's wrong, apparently.

(This is probably also South Park's fault but I'm not an expert on that show so I'll not try to explain)

Don Knotts (The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Ghost and Mr Chicken, The Reluctant Astronaut)—Just look at him. He’s just a lil scrungly guy. Also he started entertaining as a ventriloquist, and there’s nothing scrunglier than a ventriloquist. In all seriousness, Don Knotts’ career is singularly unique. His speaking voice was iconic, and he used it to his advantage and played it up – see also the included YouTube link to his small role in No Time for Sergeants [link]. He not only played second fiddle comedic character roles, but also played leading comedic character roles. He didn’t need a sidekick for his movies but he could *be* the sidekick if needed. That’s key to Scrungly Little Guy™ behavior, in my opinion. Knotts undoubtedly influenced many comedians and sitcom characters in both his lifelong film and TV career – and I do mean lifelong, as his final role was in 2006, the year he passed away! In the 70s, he became a frequently used actor in live action Disney comedy films for kids like The Apple Dumpling Gang and appeared in many children’s programs. Knotts was said to be one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, which is important for Scrungly Little Guy™ lore.

Conrad Veidt (The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, The Man Who Laughs)— oh my god look at him in Caligari. I specifically said that he's from this because him as Cesare is just. MMMMM. he's so wet and sad and scrungly. and little. he's like a kitten left alone in a dark alley except he's also killed people (not his fault). something wrong with him (Cesare). as for Conrad himself. oh my god look at him... them big ole eyes and the walk of some fucking thing creature

This is round 5 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you’re confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]

Don Knotts:

TBH, I was first introduced to Don knotts in things like three's company, the og Scooby-Doo cartoons, and later on that Disney chicken little movie. He's probably most remembered from his time on the Andy griffith show. But just look at him! Don't you just wanna put him situations?

When you say scrungly his face is just what immediately pops into my head

Don Knotts plays in most if not all of his filmography someone who is kinda dull-witted, afraid of his own shadow, or kind of cowardly. He is the scrungliest of scrungly people!  

Conrad Veidt:

I mean just look at him. The wet cat energy. The ghostly eyes. He did the monster mash before anybody. Where would we be today without him, he even has one (1) song on spotify. I regularly forget he's dead and wonder what his next movie will be. He slays in any role. The Ultimate Skrunkle.

He's the ultimate scrungly to me, the basis for many of our scrungly guys today. he's so skinny and pale and he wears so much eye makeup

He was THE bisexual goth tumblr sexyman of early film. Seriously the old timey Tumblrinas would send him fanmail about wanting him to choke them. He inspired the designs for the Joker and Jafar,and was nicknamed the “Demon of the Silver Screen” for his horror roles. His first wife divorced him for crossdressing. Hitler sent him hate mail for speaking out about antisemitism. He really loved his wife and told the Germans to go fuck themselves when they threatened his job if he didn’t divorce her for being Jewish. Just look at me and tell me this guy isn’t scrungly he’s like a personification of the emo kid from Horton hears a who

[cw the below clip depicts assault/abduction and could be scary for some viewers]

[plaidos]

I'm interested to hear more about trans fem Simon, it paints the whole crown thing in an even darker light then it already was.

if it helps any i don’t think Simon would’ve cracked under basically any circumstances he’s been presented with yet either, but yeah like Ice King is constantly talking about being pretty/constantly crossdressing, and Simon’s whole Thing is losing his sense of self to a dangerous, toxic, masculine outside influence. the crown literally masculinises Simon, it grows his beard but balds his head, it makes him more of a misogynist even. and he will die without it! but it’s a prison, it’s a curse, he’s a shadow on the wall of who he should be. he’s a joke even to the other wizards. they don’t see him as a “real” wizard. they look down on him.

and then there’s the whole Fionna and Cake thing….

1. Hello, I'm looking for a fic about wwx. He lost most of his memories, and all he really remembered was the bad parts from what happened to him. I think he was alright with a yuan but no one else could go near him. And in the end some of the juniors and I thing lwj and lqr take some of his memories so he doesn't suffer alone? @bubwly

But otherwise the description matches.

2. Hello, this is for fix finder. what i remember from the fic was that wwx acted like and was called lan er-furen and there was a scene where he would sew things for the junior and others from other clans and a jin clan member wanted a wolf but wwx did paws instead and he fake cried so that lwj would be extra mad. that scene was from sizhui’s pov and all the other juniors from the other clans backed him up as well

5. hiiii i'm looking for this fem!wangxian fic where wy and lz are broken up, and afterwards lz gets with mxy. they're all famous influencers or smth like that and wy goes on nhs' youtube podcast and publicly discuss lz's relationship with mxy (i think? something like that). later on they meet at a party where lz and wy hook up in the washroom and afterwards lz tells her that her and mxy were never acc tg, it was just to make mxy's ex jealous. lz and wy admit that they still love each other then get tg @ashxi-wx

~*~

6. For fic finder, please! It was an a/b/o au where, during Cloud Recesses lectures, Wei Wuxian accidentally triggered Lan Wangji’s heat. There was a mix up about this. The Lan’s were outraged, thinking WWX was teasing and purposefully riled LWJ up, but WWX didn’t know what had happened/didn’t do it on purpose. WWX is thrown from the lectures, and possibly ousted from the Jiang clan too. WWX and LWJ don’t clear things up until several years later when they met again and it happened again. I think it was just that LWJ was so strongly attracted to WWX that he threw himself into heat or something

8. Hellour! I am so tired of looking for a fic i know everything about and i just cant seem to find it. Its a slight crossover god!wwx fic where wwx ascends to heaven and gets appointed as one of the gods in the underworld. The heaven system is of tgcf and the starting paragraph has him interacting with xie lian unknowingly. This is after the first burial siege so wwx schemes and saves everyone he can. He was supposed to ascend with lwj when they killed xuanwu of slaughter but he went nope and got back down. He did this 2 more times and more so, he doesnt remember doing so. But as hw and lwj couldnt ascend to become martial god pair, he became the god of death and flowers? I think. I mean in the first few chapters, he comes to the burial mounds and he rejuvenates the lush life and gets rid of the resentment. He was called fuzing mushi i think and at the climax when every culticator was gathered in burial mounds, he took them to a quick trip to hell. Jin guangyao gets his redemption arc and becomes a monk after cutting off his hair (there was a seperate story on that)

Basically i know much more but i couldnt fit all of the ff into that. It has been asked before on one of the imtf or fic finder but it was months ago so i cant find it. Thank you for any help!! @just-troy0-0

10. Hi I'm looking for a fic I previously read of wwx not being part of the Jiang sect (think he might have been a rogue cultivator) and somehow ended up in the lan sect sparring

I remember this one specific line about wwx only ever fighting yao and having practically never fought another person so he does not know how truly to pull his punches.

There might have also been sentient burial mounds but don't know

Thank you in advance! @charrychailatte

~*~

11. Hi, I don’t know if I’m looking for one fic of three. Three things I remember;

Jiang yànlí was content with her little life she had. It wasn’t in politics or. Jian Zixuan was in love with her.

Jin Zixuan married a second wife or a concubine saved his life. It might have been Luo Mianmian. They were deeply in love.

Wei Ying was married to Lan Zhan and his life was much. Either yu Ziyuan was unhappy and’Jiang Yànlí was envious @kyuubikuroba

Oh my god I thought I dreamt writing that ask for fic finder that you posted for March 9th. I was half asleep and couldn’t even read what I wrote lol. One thing is that I wrote spelling mistakes. For the first point “Jin Zixuan wasn’t in love with her” the second point I think it was MianMian but I might be wrong. But a woman had saved him and they had a child after she became a concubine. And the third point I think it was an arranged marriage with Lan Zhan that’s why Madam You or Jiang Yànlí were so upset that Jiang Yànlí’s marriage didn’t work but Wei Yings did

FOUND! 🔒 Alliance AU by Ilona22 (E, 21k, WangXian, JYL/OC, Arranged Marriage, A/B/O Dynamics, PWP, WangXian Get a Happy Ending, Intersex Omegas, Not JC Friendly, Matchmaking, canon Jiang family dynamics, Family time, Night Hunts, Mention of male omega pregnancy, Intrigue at Jinlintai, Mentions of Prostitution, War, Conflict between characters) Specifically parts 7 and 9 deal with Jiang Yanli and a concubine that saved Jin Zixuan.

12. Thank you so much for helping me find some great fics from my last ask!

I'm looking for a post war fic (not sure if it's post canon or AU) where Cloud recessess are once again open for lectures and the disciples from Moling Su sect along with children of Su She also attends. There is an instance where some disciples bullies them and LWJ comes to their defence and rescue. @grrumpywoof

13. hello! i have a fic finder request, this may be a little hard as i cant really remember the plot, but i do remember one bit in particular that i haven't seen elsewhere, WY make and new talisman/array or modified the jins butterfly messenger, he creates these messenger koi's that take the colouration and attitude of the sender! i think JC's was purple and zapped WY while JY's was very colour and pretty and acted gentle, i think the koi's could also briefly interact before disbursing, sorry i cant remember more.

14. Hello! I’m trying to find a fic I started and now can’t find. The Yilling Patriarch is a vampire. An inventor and wealthy. In the AU there is a system of donating blood and after LWJ donated blood entered into an exclusive contract for the blood donation to the YP not knowing who the vampire really was. That’s as much as I remember bc I didn’t get far into the story before I lost it. Thanks!!! @oblivioushappiness

FOUND! Yes @/relenafanel I checked my twitter bookmarks and there it was I never finished reading the rest. It’s an @/anaphoricae threadfic. Thank you so much!!!!!

I think 14 is a threadfic - I no longer have an account but if that helps anyone else identify it

15. Hello and thank you for what you do for this fandom! I'm looking for a fic where wwx is a severely depressed plant dad. I remember he had an apartment full of plants he was trying to keep alive, kind of as a metaphor for his mental state. At some point, he drags the plants onto the balcony between his and lwj's apartment for better light bc his plants are dying. I also remember a shower breakdown, I think? And lwj coming to help him? @turtleoftheabyss

16. Hello, I'm looking for a fic where I can only remember a short part of the first chapter. LWJ is sent back in time and vows to treat WW better. They were arranged to be married in the first timeline and somehow or another he ends up being poisoned instead of LWJ and saving him.

17. I have an ART-finder request, if that's something you can help with 🎨

A while back someone did a short comic strip of wwx in the burial mounds with the words from the long-term nuclear waste warning ("This place is not a place of honor" etc), but hell if I can find it again. I think it might have been traditional art rather than digital but I'm not sure.

Many thanks!

~*~

18. This is how it goes, it was a modern au and wei ying and lan wangji is in an arranged marriage due to the lan elders forcing it because wei ying was baoshan sanren grandson. Lan wangji and wei wuxian co exists with each other without getting in a way of each other, lan wangji first interest or crush is nie huisang but he rejected him because he likes Jiang Cheng and I don't know the rest of it. It was mpreg and wei ying adopted a-yuan. Help me please, I am super desperate @lanwuxian0725

~*~

19. hello, really sorry to bother you as i think you might be no longer active but i am at my wits end. I remember reading a fic about wei wuxian who wakes up in cloud recesses post-canon disoriented and scared because, as it turns out, he doesnt remember anything including and after his ressurection. In general it dealt a lot with his feelings and grief, this wei wuxian was still emotionally fresh in/from(?) burial mounds. I would really apprecciate if you had any tips! Either way though, thanks in advance.

~*~

20. Looking for a fic once again! In this fic the Jins pretty much take over the cultivation world after WWX has long been dead and the sects have the Lans call for him with Inquiry.

The Jins apparently use the Yin iron publically to threathen the other sects. The sects manage to actually speak with WWX in hopes of getting info on how to destroy the Yin iron.

Any info about a fic like this is welcome! @pancakeshitdifferentat4am

Apothecary diaries episode 5 analysis

I just finished watching episode 5 of The Apothecary Diaries, and I had to put my thoughts down. This episode addresses two big questions I’ve had about this show. The first is how in-depth they were going to go with the social inequalities of women, especially in Qing China. The second is when Jinshi was going to go full feminine.

Ming-Qing China, which the show is primarily set around (though it takes inspiration from multiple periods, this one being the major influence), was horrible towards women. They had little to no rights, and by Confucianist principles, women were automatically considered lower than men and were expected to stay in their place for the sake of a happy and peaceful society. So, Maomao being able to make medicine and take on a "man's" job didn't make sense—especially in a show that actively discusses women's struggles in the palace and the inequalities they face. The fact that they acknowledge Maomao isn't supposed to be making medicine and that she’s going against the status quo (which was likely a law, though I'm not entirely sure) adds a sense of weight to it—this is serious.

This show beautifully balances being silly and lighthearted while still addressing serious issues that continue to affect people in our modern world. Maomao is obviously incredibly smart—she has saved three high-ranking officials/consorts from assassination, solved multiple mysteries, and maintained peace in the inner palace. And yet, despite all of this, she still isn't allowed to make medicine simply because of her gender. She has to do it in secret, even though some of the most powerful people in the empire benefit from it. At this point, I’m pretty sure the emperor knows she makes medicine since she doesn’t really try to keep it a secret, but she’s still not technically permitted. Meanwhile, she has made about ten times the impact of that quack doctor (still love him, though).

Ever since season 1, when Maomao put makeup on Jinshi, I have been waiting for this moment. And it did not disappoint—he looked so pretty. But looking at the historical context, it was surprising to see him not fight against the idea. Crossdressing in China was not common, especially in Ming China, which stood firmly by Confucianist principles. The only place it was seen was in theater, which might be why Jinshi didn’t seem too bothered by it—he may have just thought of it as performance art, plus the fact that only Maomao and the envoys were going to see him. He seems to take his job very seriously, despite holding more power than his role technically entails.

But off-topic—why is Jinshi so beautiful? In the most recent episode, Maomao literally described how immensely stunning he is. At first, it seemed like this would clash with the toxic masculinity of old China, but it actually makes sense. In historical China, powerful men were often praised for having refined and delicate features while also being charming. The Apothecary Diaries also emphasizes how beauty is a source of power—especially for the consorts. Along with this, Jinshi is (probably) of royal blood (I haven’t read the manga, but it seems likely). Princes and princesses were expected to be beautiful because they came from an esteemed bloodline—though honestly, I mostly think it’s because emperors just had kids with beautiful women.

I'm so excited for the next episode. I’m pretty sure this season is supposed to have 24 episodes, so my brain is going to be very distracted and working on overdrive until it finishes.

Everybody loves to consider Greek mythology as a world of clear-cut deities with specific roles and defined limits between them, but it isn't true - and looking at how the deities changed, evolved and mixed together throughout the times is always a deeply rewarding experience.

One example I can give you are the "alternate Aphrodites". Aphrodite was one of the main and most important goddesses of Greek religion - as such she existed with many local variations, specific epithets and alternate cults. But many of these alternate deities ended up actually fusing Aphrodite with or having her replace other gods - a confusion between deities reflected by their very myths and legends.

The most famous case is the "Aphroditos" that was honored in Chypria: the "phallic Venus", the "bearded Aphrodite", an Aphrodite with male and female attributes honoring a mix of both female and male sexualities - and which according to records was linked to rituals of genders exchanging clothes, and other ritual crossdressing. It has been attested and confirmed that the "male Aphrodite", "Aphroditos" was the source of "prototype" for the figure of Hermaphrodite, the source of "hermaphrodism", and the male-female androgyne born in legends of the union of Hermes and Aphrodite - while also acting himself as an alternate form of Hermes in some places.

Hermes isn't the only lover of Aphrodite the goddess ended up confused with. Everybody likes to talk of "Aphrodite Areia", "Aphrodite of war", "Aphrodite in arms", the Aphrodite bearing weapons honored in more war-like cities and cultures of Ancient Greece, notably Sparta. This Aphrodite was usually coupled or paired with Ares, and legend does notoriously point out how the two were lovers. But in some areas, Aphrodite Areia was more than just the companion of Ares or an "Ares-influenced Aphrodite" - she was LITERALY the female version of Ares, replacing him. One same idea of a deity, for two genders.

And a last example I will point out is the Aphrodite Thalassa, or Aphrodite Pontia. "Aphrodite from the sea". We all know Aphrodite has a strong connection to the sea, since in the Hesiodic version she is supposed to be born out of it, and in religion she was considered a protector of sailors and ships. But further than that, you can see how deep her connection goes due to how in Greek religious (or non-religious) art, Aphrodite was often paired with Poseidon. It is something attested (you can check the book "The Twelve Gods of Greece and Rome", which studies the various depictions of the Twelve Olympians) - among the Olympians, when Aphrodite isn't depicted paired with either Hephaistos or Ares, she was usually paired with Poseidon - and when Aphrodite wasn't among the Twelve, she was replaced by Amphitrite, Poseidon's wife and queen. To the point that in many depictions it is hard to tell them apart - if they weren't fused in one...

Aphrodite's alternate self and "combo fusions" can even go in unexpected ways. Take the local cult, at the Hermione town, of Aphrodite "Nymphia" - Aphrodite the Bride, an Aphrodite of weddings and wives honored both by maiden virgins who were to lose their virginity upon their marriage night, or by widows who prepared themselves for a second union. This marital Aphrodite is the first step in the existence of another alternate self usually described as... "Aphrodite-Hera". And if you recall, back in The Iliad, Homer himself talked of how Aphrodite shared with Hera her belt of seduction to awaken the desire of Zeus... (Plus the fact that Aphrodite was said in the Homeric tradition to be the daughter of Zeus and Dione - Dione herself being literaly just a female verson/counterpart of Zeus ; and by extension later some people called Aphrodite herself "Dione" in reference to her mother, the same Helios in the Homeric traditon is also called "Hyperion" despite Hesiod splitting them in a father-and-son duo)

So yeah, sorry all of you who like neat classifications and little boxes that never get mixed up - but by the real facts, while Greek mythology as quite stable, it was also more fluid than you'd think, and the gods did have a tendency to fuse together...

(Cut to a long post about how Selene, Hekate and Artemis ended up all fused into the "Diana triformis" and the "Triple Moon" by Roman times)

mikhail’s genuinely one of the characters ever. crossdressing exorcist/nun who’s also a famous influencer and whose closeness with his male peer and gender presentation is treated Completely Normally. to the point where it took me like halfway into the arc to realize he is crossdressing. i just thought those were the church’s usual uniforms LOL

[aranarumei]

what would separate hirano and kagiura?

so. about that preview of the adult au… I’m sure everyone’s wrecked right now. and I. have some thoughts.

so like, for the adult au to exist at all, harusono sensei has to contrive a situation for both hirano & kagiura to not get their romantic drama in high school, and the same applies for sasaki & miyano. it’d be easy to say that these couples are separated just because they need to be, but i think it’s worth giving them a look. under the cut because i'm being thorough.

for sasaki & miyano, it’s simply that they never meet past their first meeting. hirano doesn’t tell sasaki what miyano's class is, and that’s that. kinda mundane, isn’t it? like… cmon, you’d expect sasaki to try a little harder.

except. well. if there’s any word that defines the sasaki of middle school and most of his first year of high school, I’d say it was apathy. I think sasaki's got a very strange relationship with the idea of force—he uses too much of it on his sister once and subsequently avoids using any kind of physical strength to an extreme degree. he doesn’t break up that fight in the beginning by brawling, and when those kids retaliate he doesn’t hit back (ch 1, 2, and 4 of sasaki and miyano show these scenes, but it's ch 2 of sasaki and miyano: first years that explicitly confirms that sasaki threw no punches) and in a friendly arm wrestling competition he uses basically none of his strength at all (2020 sosenkyo extras). he’s careful in how he speaks to miyano and he feels bad for asking him to quit the crossdressing competition (ch 23, sasaki and miyano). he’s really patient about getting his answer.

in its best form, I think sasaki & miyano's relationship is about Care—miyano is so into his interests and so bright about them, and i think that overwhelming sincerity attracts sasaki, and i think it's a large motivating force in making him a more active person. so in a certain way it makes sense that the way they "miss" each other, in this au, is something that amplifies a negative trait/feeling that exists in the original.

for hirano and kagiura, they don't room together for the next year, and then... they drift apart. but here's what interests me. in the adult au, kagiura gets 61st on his exams. you know what he gets in canon? 60th! that's a difference of one place—the difference is so very clearly not the grades itself, it's internal. @raihanstrapinch suggested that this is perhaps an AU where kagiura took the "one day off" mentioned in ch 19 (you can find the post here) and I think this makes sense for a one place difference! (that one place being the possible cutoff for being able to be roommates again is tragic, though)

interesting is that kagiura says that he doesn't want to look back and regret taking that day off, because then he'll never forgive himself. I think this is exactly what motivates kagiura and hirano drifting apart: shame.

in ch 18 of hirano and kagiura, the topic of "equality" in a relationship gets discussed. kagiura wants to have a relationship between equals, and so that's why they start doing stuff like taking turns waking each other up, and it's why hirano gets kagiura to teach him some basketball. this isn't a new topic, since kagiura's been wanting hirano to be needy with him for a few chapters now, and it's one that gets extended on into ch 24, where hirano makes clear that his 10 seconds is distinct from kagi. reciprocation... it's beautiful.

point is, a lot of hirano and kagiura deals with what hirano and kagiura can do for each other. that's because it's central in establishing their continual understanding of each other. hirano is learning to fall in love with kagi, little by little. they're figuring out their relationship. of special importance is how both hirano and kagiura influence each other in the spheres of basketball and studying.

basketball is obvious: in ch 1 and ch 2, hirano takes care of kagiura so that he'll recover quickly from his cold, and he also helps him handle his loss. it's in ch 17 where we really see the full scope of how it applies to both of them, though: kagiura takes his 10 seconds and gets recharged for practice, and then hirano thinks that he really wants to study right now. despite their differences, hirano and kagiura sharing space with each other makes both of them better at their goals. it's a direct repudiation of the ideas that are floated in ch 11 and ch 13: that kagiura came to the dorm to focus on his club activities, while hirano came to the dorm to focus on his studies. their focuses, then, should naturally be pulled in opposite directions. they might just end up distracting each other.

something that's fascinating about the preview of the adult au is that, after waking up, kagiura demeans himself by saying he essentially has no self-discipline / control. here it's in the context of getting basically blackout drunk, but I think it also reflects how he might've felt back then, getting that grade. he didn't have the self-discipline to balance both studying and basketball well enough, in his own opinion, and since he feels like he didn't try his very best at it ("one day off"), I think he might have concluded, personally, that it might be best to pull back. it's not the first time that kagiura's drawn back, after all: he was like this when he started reacting too much to hirano's touch, and he's still like that because he keeps carefully calculating out his 10 seconds. as hirano says in ch 23, he looks annoyingly miserable when he's like this. he worries so much about crossing the line, about not being as good as hirano thinks he is... to me it's perfectly reasonable that there's a world where kagiura retreats.

in their character descriptions for the adult au, it's noted that hirano is mostly taken up by studying and doesn't socialize much, while kagiura doesn't really talk to anyone outside of basketball-related matters. i think this really shows off that idea of the adult au kind of expanding on a theme that gets introduced in the original, but in a negative direction: instead of balancing and positively influencing each other like they do in canon, here hirano and kagiura have retreated solely into their own focuses.

i think hirano is genuinely rooting for kagiura's success in basketball. he's always so impressed by his passion for the sport, so I think here, along with kagiura's self-inflicted withdrawal, he'd probably rationalize to himself that kagiura's working hard on basketball, and it's... good for him that he's doing so. honestly he seems kind of slow on the uptake with emotions in general so even if he did circle around to thinking about reconnecting, he might've already graduated and it would've felt too weird for him. i also think that, to sort of mirror kagiura's own hard work with basketball, he'd also work hard on his studies. in some strange way, they're still powering each other forward.

6. I am in the mood for fic where there is focus on Lan Zhan and Nie Huaisang relationship. Because both of their older brothers became sworn brothers together and I wonder what Lan Zhan and Nie Huaisang thought about it. Were they jealous and felt replaced?

I don't think I have ever read what they might have thought about whole sworn brotherhood trio.

What if gon and killua and all the subtext r queerbait??do u think they might be

I've answered this kind of thing before, but why not do a refresher? I keep this image on my desktop for when someone doubts Togashi's intentions.

This was well before HxH was created, before even Yu Yu Hakusho was created. Note that he says he wanted to create this gay, crossdressing manga based on his own "personal interest" and that he grew "deeply attached" to it.

Togashi has noted himself to be a fan of Patalliro!, a BL series written by Mineo Maya--one of the few male BL authors, and Patalliro! was the first BL series to be adapted to anime. He has stated that Hiei's hair was inspired by a character from Patalliro!

Togashi has discussed enjoying putting "shojo manga elements" in his work as well. This can, and likely does, refer at least in part to all the gay subtext.

He put Sensui and Itsuki in Yu Yu Hakusho, who somewhat ambiguously seem to be in a romantic relationship. See this line:

He's even said Itsuki is one of his favorite characters in Yu Yu Hakusho.

He's also married to the Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon, who famously has also included lesbian relationships in her manga.

Looking at how multifaceted and fully integrated into the characters themselves/the story the "hints" of romantic feelings between Gon and Killua are, I have trouble believing Togashi would just be doing this out of "queerbaiting," which is a complex topic in the first place when it comes to anime and manga, because the culture in Japan is different and the anime/manga industries have a long complicated history with queer themes.

He's grown up in a fairly conservative culture that has changed only gradually, and he has been working in decades in the most mainstream manga publication out there, which I'm certain has rules around what he can and can't portray (though the degree to which he's bound by those rules at this point is unknown). It makes sense, therefore, that he's accustomed to using subtext and ambiguity rather than portraying gay relationships in a way that is 100% undeniably canon. He's not writing for BL publications, after all.

To me, the romantic aspect of Gon and Killua's relationship feels very genuine and heartfelt. It's built into who the characters are and how they're set up as characters in the first place (like Killua's birthday, for instance), and what they mean to each other is one of the main emotional cores of the series. The way he weaves this concept into the series in many, many different ways has emotional weight and meaning. It does not feel at all like something he casually added as fanservice or for the hell of it as an afterthought. I think it's left ambiguous on purpose, but the repeated and sometimes quite blatant hints are there for those who want to connect the dots.

As time has gone by and I've read more of Togashi's own words and discussions of his influences as well as considering just how much queer subtext exists in the series (and not just with Gon and Killua by any means--Alluka, LeoPika, HisoIllu, PariGing, etc.) AND in his other series as well, it's only made me more and more certain that he includes all this stuff with full intention, and coming at least in a large part from his own personal desire to include these elements.
