your aroace fujoshi

the difference between liushen and bingqiu is that liushen are highschool sweethearts, starcrossed lovers, i love you intentionally, i love i love i love you, I'm yours if you'll have me, loving you is the easiest thing i have ever had the privilege of doing in my life vs bingqiu that is divorcee rebounds with a scandalously young boy who goes for older men, i only know how to exist when im wanted, i love you and by extension i hate all other things, love as a violent act, i would rather break the world than lose you, please love me.

Hua Cheng being able to be put on a cool and chill act when he initiates the flirting, like convincing Xie Lian to exchange spiritual power through kissing and stuff like that is so hilarious. Cause like, you know, he has been practicing his seduce Gege moves. He’s able to be calm because it’s following his planned, thought-out way of seduction, but then Xie Lian will do something like drink water from the same bottle he drank from and it just breaks him. He will be staring down at it wide-eyed, with his mind blasting the words “INDIRECT KISS YOU JUST HAD AN INDIRECT KISS WITH GEGE”, like, sir, you just made out five minutes ago; calm down.

Would I be too out of line if I said I don't care for the fact that there's a million headcanons about shen jiu being SA'd by Qiu Jianluo even though theres zero evidence of it but no one cares about Su Xiyan being canonically molested by the old Palace Master?

I'm willing to hear you out and change my mind on this. Are there any examples from the text you can show me that prove Qiu Jianluo had sexual intentions for Shen Jiu?

I'm gonna make a post about it later tonight, right now it's 2am where I am but I'd be happy to make a more concise post when I get off work in a few hours! i will admit, I'm not going to be able to "prove" it as in, find it literally stated in the text "Qiu Jianluo wanted to fuck Shen Jiu" because I think if that were the case it would never need to be a discussion, but I think when you add all of them together it raises the question "what did mxtx mean to imply when she put All Of This in the text, and why would All Of This be in the text if said implications weren't meant to be there?"

correct me if i am wrong, but i think most people headcanon shen jiu as a victim of sa because of his fear of men, especially when it comes to sleeping around men. I think it's a very fair interpretation to look at this, combined with the knowledge that he was abused and umm implied to be qjl's "preferred" slave and victim. However, as you pointed out, there is no proof for this abuse actually being sexual and shen jiu's fears and trauma are a valid response to many different acts of violence
