hey, i'm michael (he/she/they), welcome to the place where i waste most of my time. i usually just reblog stuff, but i very occasionally post drawings and edits. if you're interested in that kind of stuff, go ahead and hang around for a while, we're all friends here.
(icon by me)
was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.
to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:
kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
Hunt-low would actually be really interesting if you explored the way their respective traumas would occasionally fuck up their relationship & also focused on BOTH their traumas instead of just making them cute, but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation.
i think if you're going to love a young boy character who's filled with an inescapable sadness and overperforms masculinity you're really just going to have to accept that some people are going to see those issues and decide estradiol and she/it pronouns are the fix she needs
