The fact mario and luigi dont blame each other for their misadventures.

Bad first day on the job: Happens

The warp pipe excursion: Curiosity vs cat

Not that pointing fingers would do them any good anyways, but yeah, they'd probably hesitate to blame each other even for things that actually were their fault.

Doesn't stop them from blaming themselves though, especially Mario.

Mostly Mario.

#not that Luigi probably doesn't blame himself every so often #but Mario's got that ol' big brother sense or responsibility #The world is a tornado and they are but two cows being flung around for dramatic effect. They know this. #Mario Movie #askbox #anon #Mario #Luigi #Super Mario Brothers #Super Mario Bros

On racism and the moral condemnation of certain danmei characters

In light of recent fandom discourse, I’ve been thinking of this open letter by diaspora, published in July last year. This statement really hit hard for me. Since then, I’ve talked to other diaspora at length about the meaning MDZS and the wider danmei fandom holds for us, the ways interacting with fandom can be a deeply painful experience, and the way that pain can be exacerbated by fandom discourse— in this particular case, black-and-white moral statements about certain characters, and by extension, about certain aspects of Chinese culture.

For non-Chinese people, I feel like danmei can be "just" a fandom, a book that you can pick up and put down. But for us diaspora, it's a lot more fraught. A common theme I've observed across a lot of the diaspora I know is the sense of having at some point shunned Chinese culture, language, or heritage, and thus becoming alienated from it, only to regret it later. Being in danmei fandom and being immersed in our culture forces us, in a lot of ways, to confront the ways we've grown alienated from our own culture. And in that way, it also forces us to confront the painful reasons for that alienation.

For a lot of western diaspora, it's confronting the racism they face as minorities, which caused them to shun their culture out of a wish to integrate fully and be accepted by others. For me, as someone living in Asia, it's confronting the sexism, homophobia, and transphobia rampant in our society. It’s confronting the many ways I've been told, angrily, and with disgust, that I do not have a place in Chinese culture because I am a queer, non-binary feminist, and that I’m “westernized” for believing in my own rights.

I feel in a lot of ways, danmei fandom has become a space in which diaspora can "come home", a safe space we can reconnect with our culture, and celebrate it in a prejudice-free zone. But too often, we face racist microaggressions in the way non-Chinese audiences condemn parts of our culture. Sometimes, it’s even outright racism, open declarations that “Chinese culture is backwards and barbaric”. All this drives us to have to DEFEND our culture against western audiences in our own safe space, even the aspects of it that we struggle with ourselves, the aspects that are the very basis of our own oppression. As the statement explains:

There is often a frankly stunning lack of self-awareness re: cultural biases and blind spots when it comes to discussions of MDZS, particularly moral ones. There are countless righteous claims and hot takes on certain aspects of the story, its author, and the characters that are so clearly rooted in a Euroamerican political and moral framework that does not reflect Chinese cultural realities and experiences.

Too often, I’ve seen fellow diaspora having to tackle issues of corporal punishment in the discussion of YZY and JC. I’ve seen diaspora having to defend collectivist norms or Confucian social hierarchy, or to explain the sexism and homophobia woven deeply into Chinese society, in discussions of characters like JC, LXC, and LQR. Often, these defenses are prompted by western audiences attempting to paint these characters, their fans, or even MXTX herself as BAD and WRONG in completely black and white terms. When diaspora have tried to provide perspective that “unfortunately, these mindsets are still prevalent and accepted in Chinese society, so the issue is really not so black and white”— they get slapped with accusations like “abuse apologist” and “homophobe”. OFTEN, we also get slapped with racist remarks or insinuations that we and our culture are backwards and barbaric.

The unfortunate fact is that due to the prevalence and widespread acceptance of these mindsets, we navigate a society where people we care about, people we love, people we know to care about us deeply, are inflicting these prejudices and oppressive hierarchies on us. Our defense of these parts of Chinese culture is often, in fact, a defense of our parents, family, and friends, the people we care about and love. Sometimes, it’s also because we’ve been outright and directly accused of “homophobia” “sexism” and “apologism” for liking these characters and producing positive meta of them. But do you think we like doing this? Do you think we LIKE having to defend the parts of Confucian hierarchy, the parts of broader Chinese society that oppress us?

Discovering MDZS was wondrous for me, it was like finding a promised land where I finally have a place in Chinese culture, language, media, and society. Here, I get to reconnect with my culture alongside other queer diaspora, other people who are like me. It has helped me to come to terms with both my queer identity and my Chinese identity, and it is helping me to reconcile the two. That's why MDZS fandom is a deeply meaningful place for a lot of diaspora. It is a safe space where we can “come home” to our culture and heritage.

That is why I am asking: PLEASE do not make this place a hostile environment for Chinese diaspora. PLEASE do not normalize the demonization of Chinese culture and Chinese people. No one is telling you that you have to agree with and be comfortable with all aspects of Chinese culture. HECK, most of us diaspora aren’t! No one is telling you that you have to like characters that represent these uncomfortable aspects. Not all diaspora like those characters either. But please— do not thoughtlessly fling around moral accusations. Please do not demonize diaspora for saying things that you disagree with.

To you, danmei and the culture depicted in it may just be a work of fiction— a book you can scrutinize, pick apart, and morally condemn, before closing the book and walking away to resume your life. But to us, it is a difficult and fraught social reality that we have to live with and navigate every single day of our lives. And so, I’d like to end off by quoting a line from the statement’s conclusion, a line that has stuck with me since it was published:

We don’t have the luxury of stepping away from our culture when we get tired of it. We don’t get to put it down and walk away when it gets difficult. But if you’re not Chinese or Chinese diaspora, you get to put this book down—we’d like to kindly request that you put it down gently.

#i hesitate to put this in the canon jc tag #bc its not fully about jc but also about yzy lxc lqr and others #its also about demonization of mxtx and other danmei authors #i also dont want diaspora issues and the words and feelings of diaspora #to be used as gotchas by non-chinese people in fandom wars #i dont want to see accusations of racism being flung around #but i feel this needs to be said #jiang cheng #yu ziyuan #lan qiren #mdzs #danmei #meta #canon jiang cheng

#crystal springs #crystal springs FACTS #as jack is sitting beside his unconscious sister #as jack is being flung around by his mind controlled sister #as jack is trying to protect the elves and his sister AND his dad #as blaise is getting thrown around by HIS BROTHER #and so on and so on #the entire time. scott's just like what about my ro-- #and carol's like DO NOT.

today on "really mundane & every day things that byan doesn't know how to do": they have no idea how to make coffee. embarrassing, considering who they're dating. don't get me wrong, they understand the basics in concept, but if you set them down in front of a coffee maker with everything they needed to make a pot of coffee spread out in front of them... they'd ultimately end up missing a few steps and/or end up either making some very watery coffee, or coffee that's way too strong. and that's assuming they don't just stomp off in frustration and embarrassment instead of actually trying.

#one of those things that they just. genuinely never learned how to do. #you know... similarly to how they never learned how to swim or ride a bike #I think they actually have a lot of like. just really normal things they never learned bc no one taught them #you get flung around so many homes and families throughout your life... they kind of just assume that you already know how to do something #esp if most other kids at your age WOULD know how #and byan... was always too afraid to ask. now it's a pride thing but when they were younger they were a lot more afraid of judgement #afraid of being a problem. afraid of being too needy. afraid of being laughed at. #so they'd never ask someone to teach them and thus have these weird little gaps in everyday skills #gaps that they're VERY defensive of and have gotten violent over when they've been exposed #anyway...... #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made.
