All this Himbo prelims thing is making me re-evaluate a lot of characters, it's really fun! Like, is Chen Yi kind enough to considered a himbo? Imp, no. Cao Weining however, now that I'm thinking about it, fits the definition pretty well. Which makes him and Gu Xiang a himbo-for-himbo couple! Power to them!

And I'm discovering other characters too!!

Anyway I'm having a lot of fun, wanting to say thank you for organizing this! (and thank you to everyone who submitted characters!) <3

Yes! I studied philosophy in school so I've got a lot of experience in the whole process of writing a comprehensive definition of something and figuring out what does or does not fit within that definition. and it's really fun to take fandom terms like himbo and treat them with the same level of seriousness and really analyze if a character fits into that definition or not. It is really interesting for characters who at first blush seem to fit until you really look at them and hold them up to your definition! And characters who you would not think of at all until you really look into it and realize that they fit perfectly!

Also yes Cao Weining and Gu Xiang being himbo4himbo is something that never once crossed my mind until this bracket and now I love them even more.

And you're welcome!!! I love organizing things like this!!! It's very fun for me!!! I'm also so glad that you're finding new characters through this!!! That's very cool!!!

#answered ask #also for those curious: my interest in definitions and categories is how I started coming up with omegaverse aus before like properly #getting into omegaverse. I was like huh you've got these distinct categories of alpha beta and omega. how would they map onto my favorite #characters taking into account the complex social factors between them and the cultural implications of having secondary genders in society #even tho at the time I was like I would never actually read normal omegaverse for any fandom I'm actually in lol #long story short then:#this is why I have a concept for an omegaverse au for just about every fandom I've gotten deep into in the past year or so.#cause of the categories you see.
