Wei Wuxian (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation)

Identity: MLM, explicit Notes: In a relationship with Lan Wangji (a man). Propaganda: N/A

vs. Enjolras (Les Miserables)

Identity: Asexual, implied/coded Notes: Is directly stated to feel no sexual interest, and to have “passion only for France”. Propaganda: 1. "I’m going to be annoying about him: Enjolras is compelling because he’s serious in a way fiction rarely lets people be without making them a joke. He’s not here to be relatable or charming or “morally grey.” He’s here because he believes people deserve better, and he refuses to treat that as a cute idea. The level of conviction he has is almost frightening - and it’s also what makes everyone else around him move. What gets me is that he isn’t written as soft. He’s demanding. He expects commitment. He’ll push people. He’ll make the hard call. And yet he’s not doing it for ego; he’s doing it because he thinks the cause is bigger than any one person. And yes, I know a lot of people find him “too intense” or “too perfect,” but that’s exactly the point: he’s not a cozy character. He’s a character about belief and sacrifice, and he does not pretend otherwise." 2. "he has has that very specific kind of presence where the second he shows up, everything gets more intense. he’s charismatic, idealistic, frighteningly committed, and so completely consumed by what he believes in that it makes him feel larger than life. people remember him because he’s not just passionate, he’s the kind of person who would burn up for a cause without hesitating. a lot of his appeal is tied up in how powerfully people have connected to him through queer and ace readings and adaptations for years. he’s one of those characters who has had a huge grip on queer fandom for a reason. there’s something about that mix of beauty, conviction, distance, and total devotion that really sticks with people."
