So we've talked about noun names (love them) but what about adjective names? Name yourself Green. Name yourself Bright. Name yourself Hungry to outmanoeuvre your dad.

What I find really fascinating about the Goncharov fics on AO3 is that, for once, the number of mlm fics and the number of wlw fics are roughly equal.

People often accuse fandom of fetishising mlm pairings whilst ignoring wlw ones, but this proves to me that the real issue is that, in most media, the female characters are so underdeveloped that it is hard for the muse to strike.

As the saying goes: build it and they shall come. Goncharov has managed to create two fascinating, multi-faceted characters in Katya and Sofia, who crawl into a writer's mind and demand to be written about. It's so refreshing to see.

I hope that now this masterpiece is finally receiving the attention it deserves, filmmakers and storytellers will take note and be inspired to develop multiple complex female characters in their tales.

(But I'm not holding my breath.)

Me in season 1: Where are all the queer coded characters?

Me in season 2: Oh, its because the real villain of the show is heteronormativity.

Me in season 3: There is strong textual evidence to be had that the main meta conflict of gx is repressed emotions, conformity to the status quo, and a societal norm to love and be loved in exactly traditional relationships, all of which are forces directly contrasted by the ideals of the queer community, which is why Jesse, as an openly gay character, is thematically integral to the message of the show and attempting to censor or dilute his identity are impossible, as an arguement could be made that his queer identity is the cornerstone that supports the entire arc of the story, in this essay I will-
