ik everyone is still having trouble with "gnc cis person/cis person who crossdresses isn't secretly trans or an egg" but i would like to add onto this point by saying that a straight person who kisses or fucks people of the same gender is also not ~secretly at least a little bit gay deep down~

like people love to see a straight person even mentioning the idea of kissing or having sex with someone of the same gender and going. 😉😉🤫😏💅🤣 but i think perhaps we could stop doing this now. everyone is out here all the time going "oh god i can't tell the difference between platonic/romantic/sexual attraction" meanwhile simultaneously being like "haha fellas is it gay to say someone of the same gender is good looking (yes)".

(this goes the other way too obviously. like you're not necessarily secretly bi if you thought everyone in the pirates of the caribbean movies was hot actually. maybe for some people this is their experience and that's fine! but literally nothing is this cut and dry)

i love slutty girls who openly and eagerly want to be fucked into nothingness <3

Think you would be friends with Colin from the OIAR?

Nyes. I could. Whether or not I would depends entirely on what's going on in that set of computers of his.

I have no idea what's going on in his world, my knowledge is limited to what you have right now. Not much is passing through the cracks, I'm afraid. Typical.

Ouch.

you have a wound that will never heal? me too! actually it's gradually widening and expanding, consuming more of me with each passing day [props my chin in my hands and smiles at you] at what point do you think i'll become the wound itself and not simply the bearer?

thoughts on cheese mr doctor man sir?

Hello.

I am neutral on the topic. Honestly, I don't believe I have ever met anyone who was especially passionate about it, though I must admit that my social circle is... somewhat limited.

I would say I'm settling in quite nicely. I've found a way to get what this place considers money: to kill monsters, just as that devil told me. It's what I'm good at, it's what I've been doing for many years now, and so it's reasonably easy. 

A couple of days ago, though, I killed a giant rat. It didn't seem sentient, so I didn't think about it too hard at first, but then I got home, and my rat friend was there, and I refused to tell it about my day. I'm sure it understands — can probably smell its kind on me. It didn't act like I did anything wrong, though, and I suppose then it is a kinder guide than my master is.

It feels like blasphemy to write that last bit, though…

Onto other happenings: apparently, there is a little urchin boy on my roof. He reminded me of something or someone (I can't remember things again, damn it), and so I let him in to warm up. Can't help but feel compassion for these children. He was so cold. Just a small fellow. I wonder if he has any family…

The rat told me about the others it helped. Apparently it's just what it does. I might ask it about rat-catching later. I want to determine just how sensitive of a topic that is first….

It’s weird. On the surface, violent things like these were not normal. I was not normal, and my master always told me it was in my nature to be violent. Here, it seems, many are like me. The rat told me about so many others. It’s not a thought I’m used to thinking. I wish I could ask my master for advice. It’s difficult to be without guidance, and I’m not sure the rat would understand.

Finally, some people here have squid for faces, and some seem to be made of clay, and I suppose that my job is not to ask very many questions. After all, nobody has asked too much about me so far. It would only be fair. I should really go and be polite to the coleman.

Ursula K. Le Guin, “Author’s Note” from The Left Hand of Darkness

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 山河令 | Word of Honor (TV 2021), 天涯客 | Faraway Wanderers - priest Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu Characters: Wen Kexing, Zhou Zishu

  Additional Tags: POV Zhou Zishu, Set During Zhou Zishu's Leadership of Tian Chuang, Perfumer Zhou Zishu, Brief attempted honeypotting, Zhou Zishu fails because he's gay, Underground Ghost Valley, Master of Ghost Valley Wen Kexing, Shameless Wen Kexing, Wen Kexing Loves Zhou Zishu, Nails of Seven Torments (Faraway Wanderers), Very loosely inspired by Patrick Süskind's Das Parfum, Zhou Zishu basically has an extraordinary sense of smell, The danmei and German literature cross-over you never knew you needed, it works I swear, Classical Chinese Poetry, lots of flirting, Idiots in Love

  Summary:

The first time he breathed his scent in, he felt an overwhelming urge to hurl. The thick, pregnant odour combined a thousand different aromas, and it shifted wildly from comforting compatibility to irritating divergence. It tickled his face, caressed his mouth, and dipped in between his lips, sticking itself to his tongue. It spun itself around his thoughts until he could barely gather them anymore. Few scents caught his interest. This one was so overly obnoxious he had no choice but to notice it.

In which Zhou Zishu possesses an extraordinary sense of smell and encounters Wen Kexing on a spying mission to investigate the truth about the Ghost Valley having gone underground.

Y’all should buy a ticket for the emotional rollercoaster that is “Body’s a Bad Monster” by @inkskinned! Emotions I didn’t know I still had are sore. Feels like there are maggots eating away at the decaying flesh in a wound I didn’t even know I had. 10/10. Owie. 🥲👍
