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.

#mysterious lotus casebook #fanghua #fang duobing #li lianhua #莲花楼 #llh obviously reciprocates; the most obvious evidence is in the deleted scenes in the scripts; so many lines abt how much fxb means to llh #anyway ik i simplified what llh and fdb are to each other in my prev posts but that post was just to explain to western fans who said they #didnt pick up on fanghua romantic hints/coding. but ofc their rs def has layers and complexities #but to me most of all llh (llh not lxy) & fxb are Equals. the show goes to such great pains to establish them as equals #it doesn't have to be romantic no one has to ship them we all have our own preferences #but at the very least theyre literally canonically best friends #in the show they very explicitly are & acknowledge each other as equals. best friends. zhiji. *equals*!! #anyway i love how they reject and transcend social hierarchies to form their own unique relationship on their own terms #their real rs is something that cant be easily defined but the two of them have chosen the word zhiji for it

dob and corazón kind of have the exact dynamic of like. those really over-intense homoerotic friends you have in your pre-teens before either of you realize you're gay, so you're not sure why you're so strange about this one specific person, but i guess we are best friends! so this is normal! except instead of being 12, they're fully grown men

#mine #oxventure #this is probably an insane thing to say but i do believe it wholeheartedly i think about it too much #obviously i ship them but i dont even really mean this in a shipping way. i just mean theyre so like. #indescribably weird about each other. its great. i love them. all male best friends should be like this

i like lesbyler but the ship itself is NOT quintessentially lesbian??????? they're gay men. gay men and lesbians face (subtly) different shit and are different. like lesbyler all you want, i do too, but they are NOT "lesbian coded" or whatever you want to tell yourself.

ok bro. please go outside and touch some grass. if you dont want to see me, a lesbian, being silly and dicking around on my blog, the block button is right there:D

#like i said you only get it if you get it #i never said byler are quintessentially lesbian btw i said theyre CODED in a way that is hilariously lesbian stereotype #falling for your str8 best friend wearing plaid #having an intense homoerotic friendship that grows strained because of internalised homophobia comphet yada yada #and thats obviously not unique to lesbians but its a JOKE for gods sake its the story of our lives #that a lot of my lesbian byler moots also joke about because mike is so kinnable!!! to lesbians!!! they write the best mike pov fics btw #and im allowed to make it because im a lesbian. hope this helps #its like saying rapunzel is very desi coded. we're allowed to resonate with a story and tie it to our experiences in different ways its #FICTION #yes shes a white blonde irl shes not desi we get it obviously. obvi mike and will are guys we're not dumb #oh if this bothers you you would NOT be able to handle the shenanigans over on the lesbian jim halpert community #anon (derogatory)

stupid garbage brainstorming for possibilities w gandhi + abe in future seasons . normally id type the words out onto the drawing afterwards but this is just so cringe and self indulgent thst it doesn’t matter enough to do that

#mine #the show actually having them date i should say i honestly consider Literally impossible #not only is this show like allergic to actually doing anything that involves mlm in a way that isnt joking or in the background #but i also feel like.. idk im so used to people seeing relationships like theirs as Just Friends that i Imagine the writers thinking that- #way too where like if someone pitched the idea of abe n gandhi actually having repressed feelings for eachother that were just never made- #clear in season 1 for various reasons (well apart from. You Know. and the list goes on but that’s not what im talking about at this second) #if someone were to pitch that idea theyd be like. What?? No!! Theyre only friends! ya know #and even absolutely then i cant imagine them not making it angsty like at all. of course in my world they would bc Its Gandhabe They’re- #Literally In Love Forever And Nothing Can Come Between That but like canonically? its pretty much guaranteed they’d break up obviously bc- #that’s just what this show is #honeslty my dream scenario? my personal favourite out of all these outcomes? the one where it’s implied heavily that theyre in love but- #the show does nothing with it and they just stay best frriends. that’s what im Most happy with personally #and it’s like… literally the closest to their relationship as it is already without anything else happening #okay bye #i love gandhabe did you know this

[uris-stanley]

find it kinda strange that in s1, dustin says lucas is mike's best friend and that you "can't have more than one best friend", despite the fact we've seen that mike & will are the closest of the four (pre s3 anyway)

almost as if dustin thinks the relationship between mike & will is something Different are More Than just best friends

#i keep thinking about that line man #obviously mike knows u can have nore than 1 bff and says theyre all his best friends #but its so interesting seeing how dustin views their party before this scene #like will and mike were the original members of the party and have been friends longest. and are inexplicably closest #but dustin 'u can only have one bestie' henderson doesnt think WILL is mikes bff #what do you think they are to each other dustin?? #anyway yet more evidence in support of my theory that dustin and lucas are incredibly aware of bylers feelings + are Tired of it <3 #st #stranger things #dustin #dustin henderson #mike #mike wheeler #will #will byers #byler

Hot take, the reason so many people think c!Dream is 100% pure evil is that term “morally gray” has been reduced by media to “commits atrocities but they were sad so its not their fault” or “perfect good hero but they make mistakes sometimes”

Like, as much as I love c!Dream and joke about him being a poor pathetic meowmeow who did nothing wrong, I know he has done some HORRIBLE things. But he has complicated motives, he does morally right things that don’t aid his motives, he has fears and trauma and acts according to his own moral code. He may be on the darker end of the morally gray spectrum, but the fact that people insist every emotion and action he takes is some directionless chaotic evil outburst just goes to show how much media literacy is failing people.

Fandom is so much more fun when you just relax and let yourself enjoy exploring the spectrum of fictional morality

#not to vent but #i am SO TIRED of people calling a character morally gray #when theyre either just ‘sad villain’ or ‘reluctant/imperfect hero’ #especially in the dsmp fandom bcz some of the most INTERESTING characters are morally gray #obviously dream quackity sam and wilbur #but tommy steals and hurts people! he said to tubbos face that he cared about the discs more! #tubbo tried to have a retired technoblade executed and exiled his own best friend! #punz!! just everything abt punz!! #bbh is morally gray but hes also just straight up a wildcard which is great #honestly the only characters i would define as morally binary are #1 XD but that could change when we seem more of him #2 charlie slimecicle bcz he was far too gunky and goopy to do anything wrong #everyone else is complicated and thats good!!! #have sympathy for the devil and dont put your heroes on a pedestal!! theyre all human (figuratively anyway) #and that makes the story SO much more interesting #im very passionate about critical thinking and fiction theory if u couldn’t tell lol #dreblr

feeling guilty and gross for having romantic feelings. more at 10.

#like im literally visiting my best friend who i wont see for like. ever. #and all i can think about is being like anxious about the Person #cause their not responding bc theyre busy obviously #and im just like annoyed with myself bc all my friends think im like aroace #and i kinda am??? but not in the way they think. #idk i hate people having perceptions about my identity #whatever ill delete this later #mangoes thoughts

Wait actually I’m loving moving wtf. Why did nobody tell me I would love moving wtf

#THEYRE BEST FRIENDS THEYRE EACH OTHER’S FIRST FRIENDS IM 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #genuinely so happy watching these sweet little kids be besties like… #the way he’s clearly so excited to have someone to do nice things for #and like. the way he’s obviously mimicking the stuff his mom does for him? #like him serving her dinner and saying don’t woof your food like his mom does for him an episode before #that’s something I like so much in stories. when you can trace the threads of how a character learns to express love #moving

I had a thought that in a modern au, George & Lockwood would have debates about which is better: Marvel or DC?

#lockwood & co #lockwood and co #they're just nerds to me ok <3 #itd always be polite tho #theyre best friends ppl #They respect the others opinion obviously but they enjoy the banter #its so funny to me and i love it #lucy though is like “both are great.” #fav friendships tho anyway #i love this hc sm #might use it in my fics👀 #idk #shitpost

me: oh i gotta finish my novella and work more on my pmd fic and world and also work on that wc rewrite loose outline and oh i wanna get back to my sonic one eventually

also me: omg what if i made an anthro pokemon world based on the main series but the main gym leaders and protags are all replaced by their pokemon (not to be confused with pmd, this is just the main series but the humans are gone)

#sorry man. im an anomaly it is impossible for me to get attached to the trainers #i like some of them obviously like the harmonia siblings do still infect my brain and bws the one game im consistently invested in #but if you ask me my favorite johto gym leader i will never have anything deeper to say than ‘’uh. idk bugsys kinda neat’’ #that being said wow its gonna be harddd to adapt some of these games if i do this #black and white in particular cause that games conflict hinges on the dynamic between humans and pokemon #maybe i wont do all the games #ill admit im totally inspired by eeveelution family fjdjdkd i really wanna make pokemon anthro ocs #just not sure where to start #wait no i kinda do. i wanna do something with my paldea team #adeleine the grafaiai with her best friend. the robotic lizard that crashed on her #theyre also yuri probably #echoed voice #idk i think some of the games would be interesting to adapt. i like adaptation i think the process is fascinating #cause with a massive change like this you HAVE to change the characters and their dynamics to an extent #like maxie vs archie cant just be copy and pasted into here i think. cause its no longer just conflicting types of environmental terrorism #i mean it still is but like. ‘’archie’’ would likely be a water type who lives in the sea and maxie would be in tune with the earth #theres less separation between the things theyre fighting for

as a huge batjokes shipper i want batman and joker to hate each other in the sense they dont really hate each other, they just have really different goals and see their own version of potential in the other and right now hate is the best word for their situationship. they both love the other for what they could be but neither of them wants to be what the other one wants, and that's equally as frustrating as it is necessary for them to keep existing in their current roles. they're deadlocked and that fate surrounding each other is kind of the point -- we both have to be like this, the opposite of what the other wants, for us to keep existing at all, and for giving me that gift i both love and hate you. it's an agreement. i think the hate that's there now is born from an intense underlying love.

i think batman "hates" joker for being so amazing and smart and cunning, for being able to create grand gestures and schemes, to pull people together under his charisma and make them all believe in something, for being as extraordinary as he is but batman hates that he uses it to hurt people. he hates that joker can't channel his energy into doing something good for the world, that he hurts himself and others just because he wants to be batman's greatest enemy. i think batman wants to help joker but also hates him at this point for joker exhausting him, constantly getting hurt both emotionally and physically by him, joker never trying to improve his situation, throwing away other people's lives, showing batman he loves him by lashing out and hurting him. batman hates joker because he loves his rogues, he wants to help them, and he knows they can do better. he wants to live in a gotham that doesn't need batman but he still needs to be needed, because when there's no batman, what is bruce going to be? without joker, he will continue being batman, but it's an empty crusade. some of my favorite interactions between harvey and bruce are the ones where harvey thanks bruce for "always being there for me, never giving up on me, my very best friend." even with someone like harvey, bruce can still hold onto that hope for his rogues, never give up on them, keep going for them, even if it puts them through the cycle one more time.

i think joker hates batman in the most toxic way possible, but it's still love. i just think he's selfish and doesn't want batman to think about anyone else but him, the same way he operates for batman, but if he must think about other people then joker will make it as amazing as possible! i think he hates batman for wasting his time on ordinary people, people who are so boring that batman claims he has to protect and serve and love them but joker thinks it's all surface-level. batman won't kill joker but he'll leave room for people dying in his crusade. it's a choice he allows, and even if joker knows that's a morally fucked up way to put someone in a box, he doesn't care. batman is the type of person to train himself mentally and physically for decades and dress up in a half-silly-half-menacing costume so that everyone can have an idea about him. batman himself is not normal, and joker knows that and loves that! why is he wasting his time trying to save people that use him, abuse him, don't want him to be the best he can be? i think joker's motivations for loving batman and lashing out as if he hates him lie somewhere in between extreme admiration -- like i truly believe in your cause and that you're the right person to do it, but i'm so angry at you for wasting your time on other people and i'm so hurt and jealous that you choose them over me, just so you can be a hypocrite and let them die if i want them to anyways -- and anger at his hypocrisy -- like it's easy for joker to dedicate himself to chaos and just being in batman's life by putting batman in situations that force him to be a better and better hero, but how can batman sit there and choose and pick what morals he'll uphold and who gets to live and who gets to die?

i want to be your greatest enemy because you are the greatest hero ever, and the only way you and i can keep being the best at what we do is if we do it together, because of what we both believe in.

#does this make sense. they love each other because theyre perfect for each other #but in order to create that perfection they have to do things that build resentment #and in order to ebb that resentment they have to be in constant flux. back and forth. ebb and flow. good and evil. chaos and order. #obsession and indifference.... the two themes i think we miss out on the most bc it hurts when indifference is the opposite of love #and obviously these two cannot be indifferent toward the otther #but when they have plots that do they really fucking hurt! #like when lex luthor comes into the picture and helps joker and joker starts to make batman a little jealous #like okay maybe i dont need you to obsess over maybe any strong ideals can overtake me if u lnow what i mean #and then suddenly batmans gotta prove how well he knows joker and has to be on top of him at all times #um anyways i hope these kind of! made sense!!!!!!!!! djhdkjghijsdfhksdfh #like ideally i think joker just wishes he had batman all to himself but knows he has to share #and hes such a jealous baby that he makes it hard for batman bc of it #and batman is like yes joker jesus fucking christ i love you too but you have to let me have friends #and u have to stop killing people #and jokers like why are you friends with murderers and liars and thieves but IM BAD? #and batmans like bc i actually love everyone and want to help you all and that includes u #and jokers like jo fuck you hypocrtie hahaha see at least in my loneliness i have no laurels to rest on #and bruce is like i may struggle with my morals often but that is only because im always figuring out the best way to keep helping everyone #and if i lose sight of that ill go blind and be like you and then u wont have me anymore #lol sometimes funny tag convos get the dynamic better than the meaty posts #long post #anyways sorry i just havee 2937973957273 thoughts about them and so does everyone and i wanna throw my hat in

thinking about gorosumi siblings again.... i am in tears. big bro goro. lil sis sumi. inseparable. wanna see how hard i can cry

#persona 5 #when the towns lore #im listening to better in stereo. yknow that cheesy disney channel song from the show abt the twins #ugh. guuuhfhdgd. anguish #they make me so unbelievably happy and it makes me so sad that almost no one shares my vision on this #only a handful of people.. #theyre best friends to me.. siblings.. #its the appeal of a cheery person being best friends with a grumpy person but its also so much more than that #sumi first thinking that goro is terrifying and being scared of him but slowly coming to realize that his anger is.. inspiring? #its so funny to me how goro could say anything mean to her and she'd see it as an inspirational quote. #and goro opening up to anyone is Sweet.. but with her its like. it just makes so much sense to me #their parallels are insane. u guys realize that. #but i went ahead further and made them SIBLINGS #obviously not By blood. but like akira and futab yknow. which is also funny cause they could technically go on double dates #and i can see futaba making fun of shu.ake constantly. hah #anyway. gorosumi siblings #hop aboard. i need to spread my agenda as far as possible
