New thesis: Marcille is not bisexual, but rather demisexual

Argument 1: Her relationship with Falin can be read as romantic because they have a special bond (school friends, first best friends, touching each other as a sign of affection, using illegal magic to resurrect Falin, fighting others to keep her safe and alive/immortal, kind attitude towards each other)

Argument 2: her succubus/ideal person (because they looked both feminine and masculine) is inspired by her favorite romance books

Counter-argument: if a fantasy setting is inspired by the middle ages, then fantasy characters have no modern sexual orientations, they just practice homo-/hetero-/other- relationships

#when we are talking about desire in early modern period #we are using the notion of the “homoerotic desire”#dunno how to better put it in words #the words/identities straight/gay/etc didn't exist but love/sex relationships weren't that connected to gender #unless we're speaking about producing heirs #dungeon meshi #marcille donato #farcille #sorry for talking much #just homoerotism is a more ancient tradition than nationalism #fandom discourse
