Guardian really set my expectations of "censored bl cdramas" and man that was a high bar and probably not fair of me to expect.

Guardian really opens with Zhao Yunlan asking Shen Wei "are you married? You're such a catch. Can I take you out to eat? Here's my number A-Lan call me" which like even on face value id say thats called flirting (unless I guess ur so straight Straight blinders on that 2 men have to physically fuck in front of u to consider something gay)

Then of course there's shen weis pining shit but like, that's not Hammer down obvious to I guess the most oblivious person in denial

But Zhu Hong saying she likes Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan repeatedly refusing her and feeling bad about it, Zhu Hong repeatedly acknowledging he picked SHEN WEI over her (making it fairly clear it was a romantic pick and she Lost it to a guy) and shen Wei, brick that he can be at times, tells her it will only take a few years for the feelings to fade when she'll get over Zhao yunlan. The guy in love with him, instead of her. Yeah shen wei, she's definitely not wishing she could stab you for that insensitive remark. But she's too good of a person to.

Which. I'd say the above two points establish fairly overtly that: Zhao Yunlan is into men, that his colleagues assume he's also into women (if Zhu Hong thinks she has a chance), and that Shen Wei is Zhao Yunlans romantic pick. So Shen Weis sexuality? Well he doesn't dispute being Zhao Yunlans romantic pick, and Lin Jing assumes they're lovers with dialogue (yes he's saying opposite day stuff but his opposite day is just not being a liar and spy). So Shen Weis sexuality includes Zhao Yunlan.

And so like that's just. Fairly overt explicit stuff about their relationship. There's also the "a very oblivious person could argue its only implied" flirting. (And everything going on with Lao Chu and Xiao Guo, the side couple... oh my heart ;-; when they almost froze... the family dinner at Xiao guos... Lao chu admiring how kind Xiao Guo is, scaring him trying to say he's a cannibal and Xiao Guo not running away)

There's the coat sharing macho trying to be the man helping the damsel both of those fuckers do galore, shen wei moving in across the hall (which is either stalker or deeply in love or - as is true, both), shen wei implicitly moving in (this one's vague ill admit to be fair), the fucking "You're good with your hands" line from Zhao yunlan which is absolutely a porn line, every villain in the show viscerally aware Zhao Yunlan is who Shen Wei wants to protect, Ye Zun pretending to be Shen Wei by calling Zhao Yunlan cute names and asking if his outfit looks nice (and all of That), Zhao yunlans romantic ass hit me through the heart line of "if you're trouble I want a lifetime of you" at the wedding (not ever over it), the fucking lollipop scene in ye old haixing. Just a bunch of flirty type scenes, romantic tropes galore. And that's not even covering the actual genuine subtext of ALL the cases paralleling how shen wei and/or how Zhao yunlan feel implicitly (which are just subtext to be fair... how shen wei thinks he lost kunlun, how Zhao yunlan ISNT him so it hurts he's a stranger or he IS in which case he's a liar and shen weis grieving, the case where a dixingren and human love each other and Zhao yunlan notices he wants to be close to shen wei even though shen weis lying etc).

Like. They felt as canon as Tara X Willow in Buffy. Or at least as much as Xena x Gabrielle, the center relationship of the show where all stories of the episodes are always at least in some way about them.

Live Action Last Airbender really said in order to get rid of the sexism, some other sexism had to take its place but unlike Sokka learning sexism was bad, the new sexism is never addressed and treated like its okay.

I am involved in THE stupidest situation

[rasairui]

I need men to stop being fucking weird at me or at the very least be fucking weird but in a way that doesn't block off all socially acceptable avenues of exit from the interaction

Highschool au: Student Council President Munakata only started being around Mikoto becuase he wanted to try and turn the delinquent into a good student. The two didn't get along well at first but soon they got close although they'd deny it. The teachers started noticing that too and was worried Munakata would be dragged down by hanging out with a delinquent so they advice him to stay away from Mikoto for his own good. Mikoto was also separately told the same thing. How would the two respond?

I just imagine a teacher telling Mikoto to stay away from Munakata and he’s like ‘I’ve been trying to do that since we met, tell this to that guy instead.’ Mikoto has of course been Munakata’s ‘pet project’ since he started high school, imagine Munakata transfers in and almost immediately stages an inadvertent coup in the student council and becomes the youngest student council president ever. He feels that it is his duty to foster an environment of peace and learning amongst his fellow students and that includes even the delinquents. Naturally he finds himself at odds with the school’s biggest delinquent, Suoh Mikoto, a guy who sleeps through his classes and gets into fights all the time. The teachers all tell Munakata not to mind Mikoto, there’s no reason for someone as talented as Munakata to waste his time with someone who won’t amount to anything, but Munakata personally sees this as a challenge, to set this poor delinquent on the right path (he comes out of his first meeting with Mikoto with the desire to set Mikoto on the right path and also to punch him very hard in the face).

At first Munakata’s only focus is to get Mikoto to become a good student but soon they develop an odd sort of rivalry/rapport, they’re constantly at odds but at the same time Munakata feels his heart pounding whenever he has a moment to talk with Suoh. Mikoto for his part complains about the uptight guy who won’t leave him alone but he always gets this feral grin whenever Munakata shows up to lecture him, he’s enjoying watching Munakata’s perfect persona get ruffled for once. The teachers are initially cautiously optimistic that Munakata may actually be able to turn Mikoto around but quickly it becomes clear that this won’t be happening, in fact Munakata’s perfect student veneer constantly gets challenged whenever he and Mikoto are together.

At some point a teacher pulls Munakata aside, wanting to give him some advice. They let Munakata know that hanging around a delinquent like this can’t be good for him or for the school, for the sake of his own goals Munakata should cease having any contact with Suoh Mikoto. At the same time another teacher scolds Mikoto, telling him that it’s fine if he never amounts to anything but he’s dragging an exemplary student like Munakata down and they won’t let that happen, he’s forbidden from speaking with Munakata again. Both Munakata and Mikoto listen to these lectures, Munakata with a calm smile and Mikoto with a bored face, and then leave the room.

They run into each other in the hall and Munakata informs Mikoto that smoking is not allowed on school grounds. Mikoto tosses the lit cigarette at Munakata and says aren’t you supposed to not talk to me anymore, thought you were a good little student. Munakata scoffs and says of course he endeavors to listen to his elders but in some things he cannot bend, clearly without his guidance Mikoto would stray even further into the path of the delinquent. Mikoto chuckles like aren’t you limiting your prospects hanging out with a delinquent, Munakata says on the contrary, it will be an excellent point for his college applications that he tamed a wild beast. Mikoto thinks that’s pretty optimistic isn’t it, when Munakata hasn’t managed to do a thing to ‘curb Mikoto’s ways’ yet, and Munakata just smiles widely back as he says even so, he does hate to back down when faced with a challenge, he will have to regretfully spurn the advice of his teachers in this one area.

I don't know how I got here, but I've stumbled upon the chapter "The thesis of Aramis" and after reading it I must admit that unfortunately I want him carnally.

[darlingpwease]

they say that I'm the same as their best friend whom they really admire and then they start courting(?) me, but I've read enough romantic novels, I know where this shit leads
