i love how fanghua are so danmei coded. fang duobing as the protective nianxia ml whose life was so monumentally changed and shaped by a shifu he met only once when he was younger but whose small act of kindness moved him so deeply that he spent most of his life trying to get stronger, working hard to finally be able to catch up to and be worthy of that glorious shifu that he so admired.

except he finally meets that shifu again years later as an adult and he's finally caught up to him but now their positions are reversed - li lianhua is now the sickly one, and fallen from grace; fdb is now the (physically) stronger one, the young hero, and he becomes friends with and falls for llh who he now no. longer wants to be the disciple of. instead, he now wants to protect and care for li lianhua like one protects and cares for a lover.

why is sexual attraction mostly defined by "gender you want to fuck". what if i don't want to fuck any gender in particular? my sexual attraction is not about gender at all. the concept of sexual identity is breaking before my eyes today wtf why did i never realize how strongly reliant on the concept of gender it is. by that same logic, asexuality also feels like something relative to gender in the same way the term nonbinary is relative to the binary..... hmmmm ....i am having Thoughts

the tragedy of outlining an original story with 4 main characters is that they need names and not temporary nicknames that later bc their actual names like mr suit and mr jacket, and I am not good at figuring out names until much much later

I don’t like engaging in label discourse because it’s stupid, but last night I was thinking about the bi lesbian discourse especially and like…

Okay. Words mean things, sure, but also. Sometimes words mean different things to different people, and that’s. Fine???

Does the existence of the American biscuit invalidate the existence of the English biscuit? Of course not.

But that’s an imperfect metaphor, because the point is that no human experience can be summarized by a single word, and if people want “lesbian” to have exactly one rigid, widely recognized definition, my only question is… why? Why do you want to be able to boil yourself down into one word?

How does someone else calling themselves a lesbian make the word less meaningful for you? It’s just. Stupid. Language is imprecise and we are all just trying our best to explain who we are with the words at our disposal. Policing labels helps no one, it’s so dumb

[scryclown]

anyone else simultaneously super anti-gender labels but also feel insane over the fact you have no words to define it. the struggle continues on

im just thinking like,, you didnt even need to make it move for it to be a duck, right? sculptures of ducks are also ducks. an alive duck is just like a more specific kind of duck the same way a mallard is a more specific kind of alive duck, right?

What do you think gay men are attracted to in men that they can’t be attracted to in women?

It can’t be anything about femininity or masculinity obviously. That’s both sexist, and cultural so can’t be what drives men-only attraction.

It can’t be anything about stated identity because someone could lie just as easily as they could tell the truth in such a statement, and it makes no sense because homosexuality and heterosexuality exists in other species with no stated identities. It’s not like other animals without gender are all pan.

Saying idk it’s the vibes or some indescribable trait men have that women can’t but “I can’t explain” is a nonanswer.

Soooooooo what is it? Or do you think any sexuality but bi/pan is just cultural performance or an identity rather than an inborn orientation?

Bestie gender itself is a performance, don't know why you're asking specifically about gay men tho when it's quiiiite clear I'm a lesbo lol. But there are clearly people who preform masculinely and feminally and of course those who don't preform either or switch it up. And of course it's not all based on gender presentation but also sexual preference, I would not like to have sex with anyone with a dick regardless of gender for example. So like yeah everything is performative and built on culture and society because that's just how humans work. There are many factors that influence the people we're attracted to and labels are just there to be labels. A gay man can say he likes men but that doesn't mean he likes all men yknow, labels just make shit easier to get across.

Anyway this was a random ass ask but kinda fun to think about for someone who is currently doing a queer theology course lol.
