In a wlwangxian situation do you think lwj would eventually become butch. Bcus I think she might

imagined butch lwj and had to stare into the middle distance for a while. whoagh... butch lan wangji...... I think this is a powerful concept. I approve wholeheartedly

I was about to put a whole essay in the tags but then it was getting far too long so I'm gonna put it here instead. when pondering genderswaps, I like to use it as an opportunity to examine a character's relationship to gender and gender roles and how they perform gender, and also a chance to see what might be part of their personality divorced from gender performance. so now im going to use this as an excuse to discuss how I think the mxtx couples would be performing gender in a genderswap scenario (presuming a cisswap, since if I get started talking about my trans headcanons I'll be here all day)

with bingqiu, the main narrative of svsss deals significantly with gender roles, which I have talked about At Length. I won't get into all that here but essentially it boils down to both of them adopting more feminine roles (bingmei's maidenlike behavior, shen qingqiu's whole milf thing). so in a genderswap, that would be reversed -- while canon bingmei is more feminine, genderswap bingdi should get to be more masculine, especially in a like. performing gentlemanly things, like opening the doors for sqq and giving sqq her coat or whatever lol as for shen qingqiu, the power of middle aged milf shizun is blinding me and it's very difficult to look away from. however, if presuming the same logic here, where canon sqq starts acting like binghe's mother, genderswap sqq would presumably decide binghe needs a father figure and it's up to her to provide, which is. also very compelling to think about. generally shen qingqiu's relationship to gender is so fucking confusing and complicated because sqq's brain is a full of tangled knots, so idk if she would fit neatly into femme or butch, but whatever she's doing, it's doing Some Shit to binghe's brain for sure

as for wangxian, canon lan wangji definitely seems to enjoy fulfilling the husband role for wei wuxian, but tbh it doesn't really seem like a gender thing to me? granted, I am not a lwj scholar so someone else might have a more complex take than me, but lan wangji just seems to enjoy providing for wwx, and gender doesn't really come into that as the motivation. so I think a genderswapped lan wangji would still enjoy playing the husband role and providing for wwx, and I could definitely see that turning into a butch thing for her. which I'm still fanning myself thinking about btw. wei wuxian on the other hand definitely seems more aware of how gender roles play into their relationship, but in a way where he seems to really enjoy playing with them and embracing both roles depending on the context, so I think genderswapped wwx would still be kinda genderfucked. wwx's gender to me is "whatever wei wuxian would get the most entertainment out of in that moment"

finally, hualian are sexually dimorphic birds to me. regardless of gender. honestly, swapping their genders I think would have the least effect out of all three couples, which is amusing considering they're the ones who could actually genderswap themselves any time they want in canon. I think genderswapped xie lian is butch simply out of practicality. performing femininity takes a lot of effort and xie lian simply Does Not Care. in my heart, a modern genderswapped xie lian probably performed femininity pretty hard in her youth (whatever the modern equivalent of the crown prince years would be) but she's gone through so much shit that she's just like "wow this does not matter to me that much. I'm just gonna focus on what's practical instead of looking pretty" and now she's like. really into cargo shorts because of all the pockets. that sort of thing. meanwhile hua cheng LOVES putting effort into her appearance. she LOVES the drama. this is true of canon hua cheng. his fashion is the equivalent of shaking keys in front of xie lian to get his attention, an effect that's enhanced by the fact that he literally jangles when he walks. so genderswapped hua cheng is doing some crazy high femme camp shit simply because she Loves Drama and Likes To Look Good. the most exaggerated makeup. ten million sparkling accessories. extremely low cut tops to show off her (flat) cleavage. hualian never look like they're going to the same event because hua cheng dresses with the energy of "I need to be so hot it makes everyone in this farmers market want to kill themselves" meanwhile xie lian has been wearing the same overalls all week

fanart tagging updates

since i'm no longer putting my a//rcane f//anart into the main tags (hopefully it doesn't get tangled up in there at least) i've made a tag for it! i've also made a tag about that one au i keep posting about so it's easier to find!

all general arcane fanart is in this tag: #this is arcane fanart

all posts about the au is in this tag: #arcane reverse vamp/ wolf au

(note: as long as it's about cait being a werewolf or vi being arcaa vampire it will be tagged as such. this is just so i don't have to make up specific au tags for it, so it's a catch all. other aus won't have a tag unless i make enough posts about it)

The Hermit represents enlightenment, withdrawal, introspection, retreat, inner guidance, and seclusion. Reversed, it indicates loneliness, isolation, shutting out connection, rejection of society, and lack of courage.

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

I think I perhaps do it to myself more than I do it outloud but I often make comparisons between me and my F/Os and Sherlock and Watson(specifically the BBC one) in the sense that, to make a long story short, everyone who has met Sherlock has dubbed him a weirdo or strange and typically keep a 6ft pole between him and themselves, except for Watson. Watson is all enamored and oddly intruiged about him and interested in him and is there for Sherlock for more than just his detective abilities. And normally I make that comparison in the magical world where Sherlock and Watson end up together of course. But NOW I made the rather sadder Sherlock and Watson comparison between me and. The Doctor. In the sense that in the show Sherlock spends a lot of time watching Watson go on different dates and hook-ups and attempts at partners and eventually Sherlock attends a wedding that John has with someone and even though Sherlock is so beyond mind-blown that he is someone's best man(and therefor their best friend) it proceeds to be one of the few episodes where he is very distinctly upset especially at the ending. There's even a whole thing about Watson moves out of the flat he shares with Sherlock and Sherlock miserably stares at the chair Watson used to sit in and even moves it away at some point because Watson is married now, off to live with his wife(and eventually have a kid), and that means Sherlock in a sense, is back on his own. Or more on his own that he used to be because he knows he's going to partially lose something that means so much to him.
