devil in my ear says romantasy should have hualesbians which opens up the bigger question of "should I just trans everyone's gender then"
#hewwo#bc i could play with the gendered implications with those two#like. in what situation would a patriarchal kingdom resort to having a crown princess instead of seeking a male heir?#why would an emperor (jw) raise up the crown princess of a conquered nation (xl)?#the cultural impact of san niang seducing a sheltered hostage. and also her being the LEADER of a rebellion AGAINST a patriarch??#(<- imagining hua cheng riding in eyepatch and scimitar. robes revealing tasteful cleavage with bandages on torso)#um anyway. to my point#them being women IN a patriarchal society? slay#but if EVERYONE got their gender transed then most characters would be women. which sounds great hell yeah#but then i'd have to basically reinvent the fucking wheel bc WHAT ARE THE SOCIETAL GENDER DYNAMICS#if not only are women allowed to beleaders and generals and political players. but the overwhelming MAJORITY#and i am NOT just mirroring patriarchal power imbalances for the worldbuilding ok that's BASIC. WEAK#you see how flipping everyone would result in like 600% more work?#i am willing but am i capable#the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.#AM I MAKING SENSE!?!?!?!?!?
