I think modern au Zhu SHOULD be the lesbian best friend trope to Ouyang except that its because this man is her pet project and gODDDAMIT she's gonna FIX him she's gonna MAKE him be BETTER she's going to SOLVE EVERYTHING and he will RESPECT HER (she is actively making him worse). She has a whole complex about it and everything. She has based a part of her identity on dragging this man up from his toxic funk and is fully convinced that if she tries hard enough he will eventually come to his senses and be an equal participant in this relationship. They have a terrible wonderful toxic loving codependent relationship that's neither a romance nor a friendship nor a rivalry but a secret fourth thing.

Predictably, this does not go well. The character arcs would be Zhu learning she can't fix a sinking ship and letting Ouyang fail by himself, and Ouyang learning to not be a shit person, actually, and coming out of his bubble of self-centeredness and working on himself instead of unloading his emotional labor onto the people around him. And they should both get to develop a healthier relationship with each other than what they had in canon bc queer solidarity is great and its even better when it's in the shape of some weird bullshit some gay people built out of the corpse parts of heteronormative romance (affectionate and completely unironic)

when i first went to college i wasn’t sure what brand of queer i was and within the first month something really scary happened with a guy which gave me ptsd that i went to therapy for. and then, for WHAT I THOUGHT, at the time were unrelated reasons i started to identify as a lesbian. and now it’s 7 years later and idk if im more healed or just more mature but. i think actually me being attracted to celebrity men isn’t a joke anymore

Okay to truly appreciate this anecdote, it is important that you know that my father is a gaunt and very stern-looking white dude who wears a sport coat with an American flag lapel pin, and his nickname at work used to be "the senator."

Anyway, when my sister and I were young, we used to visit our grandparents out in California with our mother every summer. Dad would stay home, partially due to the expense and hassle of skipping work and partially due to his political distaste for both air travel and the state of California. After one such trip when we were in our early/mid teens, we got home to find that Dad had spent the week that we were gone absolutely demolishing all our high scores in Super Monkey Ball 2. This is not the funny part. The funny part is that years later, he told us that he'd done it by getting stoned as hell and like, hyperfocusing on Super Monkey Ball 2 for a period of time. I still do not know how or where he obtained weed.

"Cats are heartless and selfish!" You're not respecting your cat's boundaries and constantly inducing fear in them. As such, your cat doesn't view you as a member of their pack but as a threat or, at the mildest, a major annoyance that they unfortunately have to rely on. If you ignore all of the body language and warning signs that they give you that they're scared or done being touched, they will lash out at you. If your cat is hiding from you and you try to drag them out, they will lash out at you. If your cat has already hissed and growled and you haven't stepped away, they will lash out at you. Cats only relax and have trust in owners who respect their space and autonomy and listen to them about their needs. Simple as that.

The way women over a certain age use “girlfriend” to mean “any platonic female friend” could fuel SEVERAL wacky-misunderstanding-based romcoms

Also. The weird girl in school feeling of both intense jealousy and violent repulsion towards "normal" girls.

My current lack of offline friends is definitely my own fault for failing to put the effort in but in my defense, (a) I am so so tired and social stuff costs energy, social stuff with people I don't already know and like costs so much energy especially and most of the energy I have for that is currently being used up pretending to be cordial with landlord and (b) actively seeking out friendships has never actually worked for me*, every good friendship I've had has just kind of happened to me so at this point it feels like it would be a waste of energy I can't spare.

*In retrospect the question of why me approaching people I don't even like that much while heavily and unsustainably masking and projecting a So Very Sociable And Normal And Enthusiastic To Meet You version of me doesn't lead to close long lasting friendships is probably not that great a mystery.
