This was supposed to be a piece of Vacancy Signs but I can’t find a place to put it so now it’s either going to be scraped or made into its own story. But I LIKE IT. 😭

Oh my god, this dream I had last night. I had picked up a book, right? Took a look at the back where the blurb was and started laughing so hard I was doubled over.
I remember thinking it was such a knock-off Raven Cycle type book, where main character had a pet crow. And his name was Reclan. Reclan.

I had a dream that I was visiting a friend and her father, who was Stanisław Lem, and I was trying really hard not to fangirl over him.
Eventually I was alone with him for a little bit, and I asked if he was willing to talk about his books with me. He kind of rolled his eyes and said, "you can explain your pet theory to me if you want."
I just wanted to say I found one of his stories really moving, but clearly the fandom had Gotten To Him.

I'm reminded so much of Binghe in Cixous’ 'Stigmata' (specifically ‘Love Of The Wolf’)
“For us, eating and being eaten belong to the terrible secret of love... The story of torment itself is a very beautiful one. Because loving is wanting and being able to eat up and yet to stop at the boundary." (pg 78)
"...who says or doesn’t say, but who signifies: I beg you,
eat me up. Want me down to the marrow. And yet manage it so as to keep me alive... and I urge you: bite me. Sign my death with your teeth." (pg 78)
like cmon, you mean to tell me this doesn't remind you of them?
"The wolf says to the child: I’m going to eat you up. Nothing tickles the child more. That’s the mystery: why does the idea that you’re going to eat me up fill me with such pleasure and such terror? It’s to get this pleasure that you need the wolf. The wolf is the truth of love, its cruelty, its fangs, its claws, our aptitude for ferocity. Love is when you suddenly wake up as a cannibal, and not just any old cannibal, or else wake up destined for devourment." (pg 77-78)
Now while I've yet to do an in-depth analysis of Bingqiu's relationship, I have done one of Binghe and I really really love how he aligns with a concept I can't fully name. it has something to do with love as defying your nature, or the expectations set for you, or your past. Love as a choice you make, and as a conscious effort to be better.
I don't know if I'm just connecting two things I enjoy or making everything I do about the Thing I Currently Like, but I thought id put it out there anyway (cause I'm pretty sure if it doesn't apply to Bingqiu, then it applies better to another ship from danmei I've yet to read *ahem a lot of them*)

The way Shen Qingqiu conceptualizes of showing affection between himself and Luo Binghe once they get together is hilarious! In his mind:
refusing to hold Luo Binghe’s hand = flirting
BUT
“Luo Binghe” refusing to hold his hand = being rejected/punished/“Binghe must be throwing a tantrum.”
Why is he like this? 😭😭😭
