"Luo Binghe raised his eyebrows, tugging the limp body in his left arm further into his embrace. 'You tell me: What have I done?'"

Hi I'm one of those romance-favorable aros that people keep bringing up and I'd just like to say:

Stop using my identity to invalidate my aro siblings

And if you're truly set on making aro characters romance-favorable, then do that!

My experiences are not the same as someone who is alloromantic just because I'm romance-favorable. You can't just slap 'romance-favorable' on an aro character to write them how you would an allo.

Have them grapple with being in a relationship and feeling guilty that they don't feel what their partner feels. Have them have tough conversations with their partner over how they feel and their specific limits. Have them fight the internalized arophobia they feel that tells them they can't really be aro if they're in a romantic relationship.

But for the love of God, stop just slapping 'romance-favorable' on aro characters to ignore the fact that they are aro.

The background says "I'll feed your boundless hunger with my endless tenderness". Because Binghe's longing for SQQ's tenderness and SQQ's wish to provide for and protect him is one of my favourite things about Bingqiu. Closeups, acknowledgements, sketch, symbolism and a fun game:

Acknowledgments: Binghe's face is inspired by @folding-fan whose Binghes are just so cute and pretty! The composition, letters and drapery are inspired by Art Nouveau posters.

Symbolism: The reason neither of their mouths are visible is to symbolise their miscommunication issues and SQQ's closed eyes symbolise his obliviousness. And the decoration on the top of the frame is a stylised lotus that shifts from white to black, because SQQ lives him at his whitest, at his blackest and every beautiful colour in-between. And the shape of the letters and if the zuiyin is supposed to look a bit like lotus petals.

Fun game: can you guess how their legs are supposed to be positioned by the drapery of SQQ's robes? Here's the answer:

Also:

They're wearing a bit of each other's colour: SQQ' red hairtie and LBH's green waist ornament :3

SQQ is supposed to be doing a rare and dangerous (for Binghe's heart) "headpat+hairkiss" combo but it kinda looks like he's sniffing Binghe's hair, which is fine too, I bet it smells so good!

After posting I noticed that Binghe's hair is way too big so it looks like SQQ is barely touching it instead of firmly pressing his head to his chest orz Just know that I was going for the latter!

was talking to my mom about how white people ignore the contributions of poc to academia and I found myself saying the words "I bet those idiots think Louis Pasteur was the first to discover germ theory"

which admittedly sounded pretentious as fuck but I'm just so angry that so few people know about the academic advancements during the golden age of Islam.

Islamic doctors were washing their hands and equipment when Europeans were still shoving dirty ass hands into bullet wounds. ancient Indians were describing tiny organisms worsening illness that could travel from person to person before Greece and Rome even started theorizing that some illnesses could be transmitted

also, not related to germ theory, but during the golden age of Islam, they developed an early version of surgery on the cornea. as in the fucking eye. and they were successful

and what have white people contributed exactly?

please go research the golden age of Islamic academia. so many of us wouldn't be alive today if not for their discoveries

people ask sometimes how I can be proud to be Muslim. this is just one of many reasons

some sources to get you started:

but keep in mind, it wasn't just science and medicine! we contributed to literature and philosophy and mathematics and political theory and more!

maybe show us some damn respect
