the way that laios is consistently misconstrued by the people in his life within his own story and then the wider fandom sees this following up by doing the exact same behavior (mischaracterizing him to death, seeing him as a disturbed freak, frequently underestimating him etc) only proves the validity of his strongly coded autism more than one could imagine

I'm with you there on preferring bottom!Alastor and getting squicked out by top!Alastor. The squick is worse for me when searching radioapple than radiostatic stuff, and I think it has more to do with the egregious amount of uke-fication of Lucifer that I've seen. Vox and Al get it sometimes too, let's be real that's gonna happen in any mlm ship. But I feel like it happens SO often to Lucifer, mostly cause he's small and cute, that people completely forget he's the oldest and most powerful entity in hell.

He would NOT be genuinely scared or intimidated by Al or any other sinner for that matter and Al would NOT be able to physically overpower or threaten Luci. It just feels so wildly out of character for me that any of the appeal of the ship/characters is gone at that point.

Like, for real, no shade to anyone that likes that, go on and get your food. But my extreme dislike of it has me now avoiding bottom!Lucifer radioapple like the plague just so I don't risk being subjected to it.

I think...I think you just described why I feel so squicked out by bottom!Lucifer and top!Alastor 😦 Like, I couldn't figure out what exactly about it was throwing me off, but you just said it perfectly!!

That's literally it! It's the uke-fication of Lucifer. That's it. Lucifer would never feel threatened by Alastor. He would never be overpowered by Alastor. So when I see depictions of Alastor successfully intimidating Lucifer, or overpowering him at all, it just throws me out of the story.

Lucifer's been alive longer than Hell. Alastor's measely 100+ years of being alive is nothing compared to his millennia+ lifespan. And yeah, Lucifer is the strongest person in Hell, he could beat Alastor in any fight, no question. He has no reason to be scared or threatened by him.

And look, there are ways to get Lucifer to a point of being afraid. There are always a way to make characters act in a way you wouldn't typically see. In fact, Lucifer, the biggest, baddest person in Hell, being threatened by something would be a huge thing for his character and for the story. That could totally work!

But when it comes from Alastor just going into his demon form, or looming over Lucifer, I just 🥲 it takes me out of the story. I can't. Alastor may be a big bad Overlord, and he's dangerous for sure, but like...power-wise he is just not on Lucifer's level and Lucifer knows that--Alastor knows that--and this is what makes their dynamic so, SO interesting, especially if they're in a relationship or slowly building into a relationship. That's what makes it so spicy and flavorful. The push and pull. The insecurity and emotion. The complex dynamic between them.

I think you're right about it making bottom!Lucifer and top!Alastor lose its appeal. I went back through my Twitter bookmarks yesterday and found a few top!Alastor's & bottom!Lucifer's that I've saved, but I've come to dislike that generalized characterization of it so much that I avoid it it like the plague too.

And like you said, there's no hate to those who enjoy it. This is fandom and people are allowed to write, draw, and do what they want. It's all fiction and it's not hurting anyone.

I just don't like the top!Alastor & bottom!Lucifer dynamic in most fan-arts, and I don't click onto fics with it cause I just don't want to subject myself to an unenjoyable time 😂 I'm here to have fun too, afterall.

By all you hold sacred—by all you hold dear—by your love that is lost—by your hope that lives—for the sake of the Almighty, take me out of this and save my soul from guilt! Can't you hear me, man? Can't you understand? Will you never learn? Don't you know that I am sane and earnest now; that I am no lunatic in a mad fit, but a sane man fighting for his soul? Oh, hear me! hear me! Let me go! let me go! let me go!

Tell me how in the hell Jonathan could just stand there and listen to this. Especially those last few words. Crying for help to an uncaring audience, swearing he's not insane, that he's fighting desperately to save his own soul. Begging someone to hear him, to let him out.

I don't care if he's full of energy now. His trauma is not gone and he should absolutely have seen his past self in Renfield here. He should have spoken up on his behalf - at least to have him moved elsewhere, at least to give him something if not his full freedom.

i totally hate all this shipping arc the fandom is going through.. cant we just.. be happy and ship whatever we like? obviously if it doesn't hurt anybody or is morally wrong.. (like kirijera or jerasig yk) and totally respecting each other

What Stede says: What are you gonna do tonight? What Stede means: Hey maybe could we please just keep breathing the same air?

What Ed says: I don't know, maybe I'll just crash in the trees or something. What Ed means: Please don't leave, I just want to be with you.

What Stede says: I could put it to the crew, and if you wanted to stay one more night on the ship... What Stede means: Wanna sleep over on my fancy ship? 👉👈

What Ed says: yes. What Ed means: ❤️❤️❤️❤️YES❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm seeing people denying the actual importance and good quality and merits The Untamed had just for their personal issues.

Folks, you can have your personal tastes, you can repeat the usual discourse novel vs drama all over again, but it's really dumb and blind denying the actual facts: how this drama even after 4 years is still a major hit in cn charts, it won a lot of awards in mailand - many of the most important critics' awards - its popularity count billion views, millions got literally obsessed, not just normal liking, and started a community of content creators. A chinese artist managed to get her paintings based on The Untamed to a museum exhibition in the homeland. Two chinese olympians skaters did their program at China Gran Prix of Figure Skating with The Untamed soundtrack in 2019.

Many international people discovered the danmei genre or cdramas in general thanks to it and approached into this large world after seeing and loving it. Finally this genre got the big deserved attention and not anymore underrated. Thanks to The Untamed's popularity, the english amateur translation of Scum Villain, first in hiatus, then restarted and finally finished. Tencent ordered 2HA's live action right on the crest of The Untamed's popularity. And so on.

The impact that The Untamed had and still has, in Asia and beyond, is truly big and unparalleled. There's no doubt this drama has a special place in many fans' heart and even changed our lives for how much it had rearranged our brains.

Seeing people having trouble admitting these actual facts, attempting to deny it (I've read the crazy opinion that The Untamed is loved mostly by westerns in order to miscredit his true chinese heritage and uh my god???) and spreading fake news, misinformations and biased opinions without even watching the drama, dismissing the good stuff it had, is truly surreal and dishonest. You may not love it, it's your business, but do not pretend it's not loved or worthy of people's love and spread bullshit for simple envy over its success D:

Hear me out, I'm missing 19 Days so much that one of these nights I had dream that Old Xian dropped a new chapter about Guan Shan and He Tian in the future, and it was terrifying because in this dream chapter Guan Shan had started dating some girl. He Tian was just there like "👁👄👁wut?" but still would do his best to win Guan Shan back. The girl, who didn't know anything about their past, eventually noticed there was something really fruity about these two and was like "no but why is my boyfriend (Guan Shan) blushing at the sight of this other man (He Tian) who keeps flirting with him right in front of me?".

My head just subconsciously wrote a whole fanfic while I was trying to sleep. Old Xian, save us from this madness 😭

PS: I actually wanted to see the outcome of what was happening in the dream, but my alarm went off right when He Tian was invading Guan Shan's personal space (like usual).
