Hello!!! I made a folder for sharing articles and books about danmei and related topics
There's a lot of academic research into danmei, so I thought it'd be interesting to share to the western danmei fandom so people can know more about danmei's context and history!
I will be adding PDFs semi-regularly, but if anyone wants me to add any specific articles or books to the folder you can reply with the name and author, and I'll try my best !!
They're all really interesting, so if you want, check out the titles or abstracts to see if you'd be curious! 💕💕💕

Look I don't think Supergirl (2026) is secretly a perfect masterpiece or anything (I personally thought it was like. a 6/10 fun time) but I do think it's wild that Tumblr isn't going crazy for it because this Kara is one coattailed suit away from being a Tumblr sexyman. she is the flawed messy female character people have supposedly been clamouring for. she's the popular archetype of a gruff self-destructive alcoholic middle-aged man begrudgingly having to look after a kid and growing fond of them but genderswapped and also 23. she's allowed to be visibly messy and kind of gross and her hair is constantly all over the place and she literally cries, screams, throws up, and pisses onscreen. she's caustic and mean and puts up an act of carelessness but has a heart of gold. she's heavily traumatised and coping with it terribly. if anything happens to her dog she will kill everyone in this room and then herself. she spends most of the movie in a trench coat and baggy band T-shirt. she gets into bar brawls and breaks a guy's hand. she is Going Through It 24/7 and looks the part. she stabs a guy in the throat. how is everyone else not obsessed with her.
Kara: Look, obviously I knew he needed to die but I couldn't let Ruthye do it, it would fuck with her head too much. So I let her get closure then killed him myself.
Clark, thinking of Batman, the Joker, and Jason: I wasn't aware that was an option...
Bill Cipher/Fiddleford McGucket/Stanford Pines vs. Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe/Liu Qingge
Billfiddlesford (Gravity Falls)

Voting ended on10h
ROUND ONE POLLS [HERE]
PROPAGANDA BELOW
Bill Cipher/Fiddleford McGucket/Stanford Pines:
(Spoilers for Gravity Falls, Journal 3, and The Book of Bill)
It's just a very interesting dynamic. Fiddleford and Ford were college roommates, wink wink nudge nudge, and then live together in a secluded cabin that Fiddleford left his wife and young child to go live in because Ford simply asked for his help. They're best friends but there's a lot to suggest that at the MINIMUM, Fiddleford certainly has feelings for Ford. (Forgetting to get his wife a Christmas gift but making two for Ford, making Ford's name his password, etc.)
Bill and Ford are ambiguously canon. It's certainly up to interpretation how exactly you read their relationship but at the very least, it's blatant both of them loved each other. (Ford literally worshipping Bill for over a year, giving him full permission to possess him as he pleased, calling himself a Cipherholic, etc. Mabel telling Bill to go crush on somebody else's uncle, "one Sixer, please", "if lost return to Bill", etc.) Whether they ever voiced that to each other in a romantic sense, unclear.
And then there's Fiddleford and Bill. Fiddleford says he never met him, but he also wiped his own memory hundreds of times so he's not the most reliable narrator. Ford thinks he was hiding Bill's existence well, but as you can see in the attached image, he was NOT subtle about his worshipping, even letting himself be possessed in front of Fiddleford. Fiddleford's invention leads to Bill's death. They're both in love with the same man, and are both too emotionally constipated to do anything useful about it. Their potential interactions are a relatively untapped treasure trove of possibility.
Shen Qingqiu(Shen Yuan)/Luo Binghe/Liu Qingge:
Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu are married by the end of the series and have both been in sort-of courtships with Liu Qingge for years but they’re all such oblivious idiots that none of them realize this.
This is THE love triangle in SVSSS, and we were robbed of these three ending up together. Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge are both head over heels in love with Shen Qingqiu. Both would do anything to make him happy. Shen Qingqiu is in love with both, even if he has 0 ability to recognize this in himself. Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge fought for 5 years for plot-related reasons, and you can't tell me that isn't the fuel for some top-tier enemies to lovers trope.

meanwhile MQF stepped out for JUST a minute to exchange dirty cloths for cleans ones (from a disciple on stand by bc shen-shixiong refused to allow anyone else in the room). He checks on the babies, both are swaddled and looks over and THERES A THIRD BABY???
okay, everyone who presses the red button survives regardless, everyone who presses the blue button dies if the blue button count is below 50%, and everyone survives if the majority press the blue button
A third button has been added. everyone who presses the red button survives regardless, but if a majority press the red button, everyone else dies. If a majority of people press the blue button, everyone survives—except for anyone who presses the green button. Everyone who presses the green button gets a crisp 1 dollar bill
I don't want people who voted green to die, but I had to choose blue again, since we're not told what happens if majority votes green. The first one said that everyone survives if the majority votes blue, but the second poll doesn't say the same thing about green. I'm forced to assume that this question is being asked by a evil trickster deity that is maliciously hiding the information of what happens if the majority votes green.
there is no downside to voting for Count Binface. its not taking away from other candidates bcos they aren't any and the more votes he gets the stupider Farage looks.
Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.
Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:
(Also pictured: Boris Johnson, Elmo)
Anyway, in brief:
Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances
He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election
He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion
His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.
the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.
and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.
I've seen some people saying he would have to give up his title but it would seem that is no longer the case as of 1999; so, no, he can keep his ceremonial bin if he wishes.
Important to note also that Count Binface is the alter ego of comedian & political satirist Jon Harvey who seems to be an intelligent individual with reasonable politics. As I said no real downside.
the natural lifespan of a fandom is unlimited. when well tended a fandom can be functionally immortal. and yet everywhere you look you see newly bred fandoms withering and dying when they’re barely a year old. barely even six months old. fans are looking at their six month old fandoms and saying i think it’s on its last legs, should i euthanise it? when with the proper care that fandom could outlive them for decades. it’s sad. sad state of affairs we’re in.
