I don't know if this is a hot take? But I've recently seen some posts upset abt there being x fem!reader stuff for Flambae bc he's canonically gay, and tbh I really don't think its that deep??? I'm honestly a little shocked there's controversy over this? Like, yes, hes canonically gay, but there are a bunch of canonically straight characters across fiction that get shipped with same-sex characters or have same sex reader x character fanfiction written about them still. Like, hes fictional and fanfiction is, by nature, SUPPOSED to be really self indulgent, so I don't really see why it's a problem? If a girl happens to find this extremely attractive character attractive and wants to write x reader fanfiction that she can relate to, why does that matter? Like it's not from a place of gay erasure, and tbh scrolling through this site I see plenty x male reader fics for him, too, so it's not like there's no content for it. I just don't understand why it's suddenly bad to write something self indulgent in an inherently self indulgent thing. I mean, I guess I could be missing something (pls inform me if I am) but I really don't see why it's bad with my current knowledge?

POV me desperately trying to find soneone who writes for both Twisted Wonderland and Date Everything with their requests open bc they're my favorite fandoms ATM and I'm desperate for a fandom crossover fic 🥲
