i have to write an essay for my class but i'm kinda uhh... i don't really know what the format should be, but also the deadline is like mid april and depending on the complexity it might not be a quick writeup

but i'm also a procrastinator so i just think about it and go 'eh', our professor is kinda chill so i feel like the final discussion about the essay will be more like a little chat ove a cup of coffee

that said it's a bit sad lectures are only once a week i'd love a deep dive into the topic, even if its not directly related to my phd

#talking to myself #also the course is really philosophy and terminology dense so im all #wtf how do i tie this to my dissertation

fyi again I've watched the movies all once eight years ago and while I read the books a ridiculous amount of times I haven't reread in forever (at least four years but tbh probably much longer) meaning my memory is very patchy. so if I say something egregiously incorrect well that's why xo

#i also keeping having to look up all the ya sci fi dystopia terminology I don't remember any of it #I'm just vaguely gesturing what i remember at google until it lets me know wtf I'm talking about #.txt

Random BL Superlatives: 2023 Edition

It's the end of the year and I'm feeling the need to give out some awards! We talk a lot about best show, best actors, best writing, best directing, blah blah but I gotta be honest, these are the categories that really spoke to me this year. In no particular order:

Best supporting garment: Porsche’s sweater, A Boss and A Babe

Did I create this entire list just to have an excuse to post about this sweater one more time? Maybe so.

Best performance despite a terrible wig: Daou, Love in Translation

This man managed to perform one of the hottest scenes of the year with that bowl cut monstrosity on his head. Respect must be paid.

Best new terminology: BGP, Bump Up Business

BUB gave us so many gifts, but I will always be most thankful for the business gay performance concept (BGP), a term that is highly relevant in discussions of the bl industry.

Best advice: "Unfuck it," Tien in La Pluie

It's not only the succinct phrasing, but also the delivery method.

Best ex who deserved better: Alan, Moonlight Chicken

Yes, I will be staying on the Alan apologist beat in 2024, thank you for asking.

Best unexpected needle drop: Wetter, The Eighth Sense

youtube

The moment this show captured my full attention.

Best WTF ending: The End of the World With You

You can probably still hear my scream of "WHAT" echoing in the hills. (Actual ending not pictured in case y'all decide to watch).

Best gut punch line: "Have you been well? Without me?", Our Dating Sim

Sure Shin Gi Tae, Lee Wan deserved it, but did I??

Best adorable child: Tane, Our Dining Table

Need I say more??

Best weapon: sparkle murder dust, Khun Chai

Truly the MVP of this show. I can't find an actual gif of the dust in action (too violent to be depicted) so enjoy these pretty men instead.

Best great character trapped in a bad show: Boston, Only Friends

My beloved, I will seek vengeance in your name.

Best use of music to fuck me up: Plumeria, I Feel You Linger in the Air

youtube

Cocktail and Tee Bundit, you know what you did!

Best meal: Chicken curry and cheese naan, What Did You Eat Yesterday?

Yes, this category is kind of a cheat so I can mention WDYEY on this list. And what about it!

Best unhinged energy: Nawin, Laws of Attraction

He may not have succeeded at stealing back his man but he certainly stole the show.

Best bl horror: Grand Guignol

I just need to make sure all you jbl fans know that this movie exists and that Issei fucked Mr Unlucky!!! IYKYK.

Best character comeback: Phupha, Our Skyy 2

From boring stoic love interest to actually compelling and kinda funny leading man! See what a little flirting with Pat Jindapat can do for you?!

#best of bl 2023 #moonlight chicken #the eighth sense #a boss and a babe #la pluie #bump up business #our dating sim #laws of attraction #khun chai #i feel you linger in the air #only friends the series #the end of the world with you #love in translation #our dining table #what did you eat yesterday?#grand guignol #our skyy 2 #bl superlatives 2023 #shan shouts into the void

dreamies as your disney world boyfriend

pairing ▸ boyfriend!dreamies x reader author's note ▸ i am working on the SERIES I PROMISE GUYS... it's just quite long... oops. i needed to channel my inner disney for inspiration for this sorry. the prompt seemed to make more sense in my head so i guess it's just, 'dreamies at disney' now lol. ALSO SOME DISNEY TERMINOLOGY in there i apologize. should make sense but if it's confusing ask me lmfaooo

mark lee

photographer boyfriend obviously

doesn’t even complain about how many photos you want to take

is actually dying inside but hides it away with dad jokes to cope with the pain

“it’s not even noon yet and dis-knees are killing me bro”

will only complain about the heat

“It’s like we’re on the surface on the sun dude… like satan’s armpit. that’s crazzzzyy.”

you couldn’t help but laugh

but then he just KEPT GOING

“it’s like we’re in the inside of a mouth… there are things sticking to things that-”

and you cut him off right there.

can’t help the fact that bro is a D1 yapper.

will not wear mickey ears though no matter how much you beg him to :(

favorite ride: slinky dog dash

least favorite ride: dumbo

huang renjun

the boyfriend that actually disney bounds with you

so y’all are disney bounding as nick wilde and judy hopps from zootopia (renjun’s idea)

chenle took him to shanghai disney once, so he’s a big fan of duffy and friends

oh how disappointed he was when he realized that the mascots don’t exist in WDW

“preferred parking? i would prefer parking to be free, thank you very much.”

mood is very sour upon entering

“i know you’re cold but i did tell you to bring a jacket.” rude.

however once you two start collecting your first character signature he’s locked in

somehow more excited to meet the characters than the kids are? (ur 24. reality check!)

he gets more into it as the day goes on

YOU BET HE’S WEARING THE MICKEY EARS.

although he already had fox ears on to begin with anyways

favorite ride: mickey & minnie’s runaway railway

least favorite ride: seven dwarfs mine train (it was too short)

lee jeno

foodie boyfriend

wants a turkey leg like really badly

“that guy has a turkey leg… sir- um sir- where did you get that turkey leg”

you have to bribe this man with food.

which honestly is okay by you because you just wanna take photos of the food.

"yknow with this ride being 50 years old, you'd think they could've made the boats a little bigger. have to man spread now"

whatever you’re thinking of, that’s literally not what he meant.

he’s an innocent lil guy. (seriously, it just came out wrong.)

holds ur hand on all rides.

let’s you grab onto his muscles arms while you are nervous on the thrill rides

no mickey ears though. (it’s the bow that always throws them off)

favorite ride: rise of the resistance

least favorite ride: teacups

lee haechan

out of pocket boyfriend who will not stfu

“bambi’s the only movie i really couldn’t watch… i could not be as strong as bambi”

after you give him the, “wtf” look he just continues. on.

“cause if my mom died well… there goes my friend group.”

will randomly start singing disney songs in the middle of waiting for a ride.

in those show/ride/attractions he’s the only one clapping and screaming.

especially true for the beauty and the beast sing-a-long attraction, cause yknow he’s gonna scream his lungs out.

yeah he’ll wear mickey ears, but you bought him a goofy hat instead. It was more fitting.

“can’t believe disney made a character after me… should i sue?”

also complains a lot. way too much.

“EPCOT? more like every person comes out tired.”

favorite ride: pirates of the caribbean (he kept making a booty joke over and over again)

least favorite ride: toy story midway mania (bc he lost)

na jaemin

hardcore boyfriend photographer (pt 2) + ‘mom’ boyfriend

man knows all your best angles and where to take photos

“picture, picture over here… yes yes right… in front of the castle angel. oh that’s so pretty… in… in… down… up… okay! smile!”

you two spend like half the day taking photos, jaemin needs to show off his gf ofc.

cares for you the whole entire day, makes sure you drink enough water

aggressively refills your waterbottles every second he gets.

“when it doubt, chug it out! (cue jaemin chugging his own bottle)

he unfortunately will not wear mickey ears. (jaemin i believed in you.)

he’s not the one being taken photos of, so no mickey ears for him.

“princess i don’t wanna hear it. the humidity is good for you. this is like nature’s pore declogging.”

favorite ride: frozen ever after

least favorite ride: none (bc he did everything with u <3)

zhong chenle

in between buying you everything and calling everything too expensive boyfriend

HOW THE FUCK DID HE GET A MEMBERSHIP WITH CLUB 33.

this man pulls you into that sus green building on main street, and your jaw drops.

club 33, is an exclusive, membership only restaurant at disney. it’s like an elite society filled with rich upper class, but at disney. (never been inside not sure how to describe it but oh boy is membership expensive.) the waitlist got so long in 2007, they closed it for 5 years. look it up on wikipedia disney lore goes hard

“i just asked a couple of friends, and they recommended me this place.” boy.

you’re panicking because you’re severely underdressed. (you’re in a jessie costume.)

he reassures you, since you’re at disney, and being dressed like this is normal.

once u have one of the most expensive meals of ur life, chenle drags u to every single thrill ride.

he also buys you a balloon and a bubble wand <3

but for some reason when you arrive at the gift shop he realizes he’s spent a lot.

“okay enough gift shop. look away from the gift shop. this vacation already has us in poverty.”

AND BRO ACTS LIKE THIS THE WHOLE TRIP IM NOT KIDDING.

he’ll buy you a nice meal at one of the restaurants and then…

“we’re not getting churros they’re 5 dollars.”

no mickey ears either why do you even ask

“next time i’ll take u to shanghai, it’s better okay?”

favorite ride: tower of terror

least favorite ride: it’s a small world after all

park jisung

anti-disney everything boyfriend

gets frustrated at everything. cannot read the map.

when he goes on small world…

he severely questions his mental sanity. like actually guys i think he needs help.

“this ride is for kids.”

the ride in question: the barnstormer! a 40 second kiddie roller coaster that has top speeds of up to 25mph!

literally jisung’s 13 reason.

he was screaming his little heart out poor baby.

“I’m not wearing those. Stop.” you do not stop. “Take these off of me right now.”

he wears the ears for half of the day though so a win is a win.

“we’re going to the other park? we’re not going home? there’s 3 more??????”

favorite ride: none

least favorite ride: all

I have a massive chip on my shoulder and grievance about people (neurotypicals) equating that neurodivergent = autism and that Autistic people are the only neurodivergent people to exist and refusing to even acknowledge ADHDers existence.

There have been so many times where I've been watching a video essay and someone will say "neurodivergent" and then later just say "autistic people" and then only say autistic people for the rest of the video and it's like wtf? Like that's like someone saying "LGBTQ+ community" and then later saying "bisexuals" like??????? that's such a massive umbrella term to use when you're only talking about one small part of that community. Like if you're only referring to autistic people just say autistic people, and even then the vast majority of the time what they're saying also applies to ADHDers.

Apologies, this is a very petty post to make, this been boiling for a long time and I needed let it out, plus IDK maybe someone has noticed the same thing. It's not just me who's notices this, right?

Also I'm not trying to attack autistic people, they don't have control over this stuff and what I'm saying has nothing to do with autistic people, but how neurotypicals assume "neurodivergent = autism" when that's not the case. I'm also not trying to say that autistics have it "so easy" or whatever because that's not the case at all, I'm just talking about terminology and things like that

And I'm also aware there are neurodivergences outside of these 2 disorders, I'm mentioning ADHD bc the two disorders have A LOT of overlap and are similar in many ways.

#ADHD #actually autistic #autism #neurotypical #rant

I’ve had an au rattling around in my skull for a while so here:

A 20ish Danny ends up in the DC universe one way or another, then he meets Shazam, and wtf that’s a homeless child. So Danny gets himself some fake IDs and whatnot and buys a house, inviting adopting with no choice because that is a hoMELESS CHILD- Shazam and then Danny uses some magic. The House is really in the ghost zone but it’s also in Fawcett city and Amity Park.

So the hero sanctuary begins and it’s in The House. Danny travels between so many different realms in between his duties as Phantom and Danny and he slowly picks up more kids.

He brings Peter Parker home and for the first time Peter has someone who understands him, someone who helps with his homework and understands what it feels like to try and do a test with a concussion, Peter spends time there so often it becomes a second hone, The House gets a new location in New York.

Then Dan starts a redemption arc and Dani decides to settle down at the house too, they even weeks where they do nothing but hang out together and they have odd weeks where they travel the world or do odd jobs for some money.

Next is Nico from Percy Jackson, he finally find people who aren’t creeped out by his death energy, who understand what it’s like to be so different, where did you think he stayed in between his time at camp half blood and the underworld, The House gets a small plot of land half an hour away from Camp Halfblood.

By this point Jazz moves in and acts as the mom, Sam and Tucker follow shortly after and this is when The House fully becomes Dannys home, his haunt is Amity, but his nest (think that’s the right terminology) will always be The House.

There’s also Harry Potter, Danny knows he can’t intervene much here but he gives Harry enough food that he doesn’t get malnutrition and heals injuries given to him unfairly and tells him stories that give Harry hope, Harry moves on quickly when he finds Hogwarts but never forgets and says hi to his second dad (Danny) on each of his death days. Harry becomes an even bigger embodiment of the third brother, when he does die, death is an old friend he can see again and Danny welcomes him back into The House with open arms.

Basically every child who gives up too much to become a hero finds sanctuary at The House, they aren’t judged about their powers and the needs and other things that come with them. Having someone to heal their wounds after fights is a welcome relief for each child and they have someone to lean on if all goes wrong, they’ll always have their dad (Danny, Tuckers too irresponsible for that), their moms (Sam and Jazz), their siblings, they’ll always have their family.

One day, Shazam gets beaten up within an inch of his life by Darkseid. Darkseid goes down in seconds to the angry family and if Danny asked Fright Knight to trap him in his own personal worst fear for a while, well no one has to know.

(Possible spoilers!!) Have you ever thought about how maybe one of the reasons why Kaito gets so upset whenever someone claims to "know" what Miu wants/likes is because that's probably what her stalker did? Claim to know her better than herself/her family?

I think about these siblings and their past a lot lol. I'm so curious how their personalities and their relationship must've been like before the incident. Hope you have a good day!

Yes! It seemed like that guy made a lot of claims about what Miu wanted and how she felt that weren't true but that their parents believed anyway. Seeing as Kaito is generally the one who's more hung up on what happened back then (namely that he didn't notice sooner and stop it), it makes sense that that would be why he overreacts to anything that even slightly reminds him of it. If the last time someone tried to tell him they know what she wants, they were trying to manipulate him into letting them hurt her, he wouldn't exactly be keen on letting anyone else get away with it, even if their intentions are innocent.

On that note, hot take but I think that whole situation is also the reason he gets Weird™️about Takuma asking about what he loves about Miu. Cuz understandably I feel like most people's initial reaction to him saying he's not into his sister seemingly unprovoked is "hey what the fuck?" But like,,,in the context of everything they've been through, I can see how being asked if there's some reason he cares about her so much would read like an accusation to him. Like he was being compared to that guy. I mean, it kinda was a weird question to begin with--why would he need a reason to care about his sister?

Slightly unrelated tangent but I personally always found it weird that the other characters acted like it was weird that he worried about her so much. Like bro that's his baby sister. She's 2 apples tall. Even without the tragic backstory any half-decent brother would be worried alkkfdjak.

Anyways on the note of what they were like in the Before Times, just the other day I was telling one of my friends about how much I love MarineAngemon as a partner for Miu. Bc thinking about how...oh hell I haven't played this game in a MINUTE, I think it was the fake Syakomon(?) that accused her of pretending to like things she hates and hate things she likes + how she loved how cute the amusement park mons were + the way Kaito talks about her I feel like he's not actually being totally delulu about how cute she is. I feel like she probably did act a lot more cutesy but stopped because of Certain Life Events. So having her mega be something very small and very cute but still very strong is Neat, I think. Like she got a piece of her real self back and isn't so afraid of it anymore.

I'm also pretty positive that Kaito's always been a doting loser alfdkja. Like,,,his response to Minoru being worried about him letting Miu boss him around was just "hey how long do you think I've been doing this big brother thing for" lmao. Literally 0 backbone on that boy. As long as it isn't dangerous, Miu gets whatever Miu wants ToT And Miu saying he used to always pat her head wtf why are they so cute.

ALSO I NOTICED THEY BOTH REFER TO TAKING DOWN THE MASTER AS GOING AFTER THE "FINAL BOSS" SO YOU CANNOT TELL ME THEY DIDN'T PLAY A LOT OF VIDEO GAMES TOGETHER. NERDS WHO BOTH USE VIDEO GAME TERMINOLOGY IRL I LOVE THEM.

Anyways thanks for giving me an excuse to talk about Miu and Kaito again, I miss them dearly every day of my life and think about them constantly.

#digimon survive #i did not proofread this post at all #kaito shinonome #miu shinonome #did you know those are still the two tags that pop up first whenever i go tag something on tumblr #that's how much i have prattled on about them #i say anything at all and tumblr is like ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SHINONOME SIBLINGS AGAIN alfdkja #my beloveds #the squimgies #also #it is my friends personal theory #that after what happened with tai and kari back in the day #that the writers just wanted an excuse to make kaito look dead into the camera and tell the audience not to misinterpret their relationship #which uhhhh #*stares at the survive tag on ao3 in agony and dismay*#anyway ily anon i hope you're having a wonderful time

🍄🤔🛠️

I feel like these emojis are accidentally telling the story of some ill advised, under-the-influence, avant-garde-renovation based shenanigans 👀

🍄Describe your wip/one of your wips in the format of “___ + ___ =___”

American coaches + cricket terminology = wtf??

(This one has an outline AND a title! I really like the title but it sounds BANANAS out of context)

🤔What's a story you'd love to write but haven't even started yet?

Haha. Hahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHA. (So many) I have two in particular that are Dani focused because I LOVE Dani but I also really want to dissect him and dig through his insides. These two are very much ~vibes~ stage but I very badly want to get them to at least outline stage by the end of the month (I am a slow writer). Dani is not having a fun time in either of these, in one I've torn his ACL and in the other I've given him seasonal affective disorder (Sorry Dani, you don't get to say you like to give away joy for free and not expect CONSEQUENCES)

🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

ABSOLUTELY.

One of the WIPs I was working on in the background while finishing up 'i learned to walk while he was away' is a 5+1 style multi-chapter about Sam and Jamie. Working title is '6 conversations they might have had and one they definitely didn't' - it's canon-compliant until the final chapter essentially. My STRUGGLE is that:

1. I cannot write in chronological order AT ALL (meaning I have NO IDEA when this will see the light of day whoops)

2. Because it's canon compliant I need Jamie to be mean to Sam for a bit.

AND, I don't want to be mean to Sam! I don't want Jamie to be mean to Sam! So! I am absolutely dragging my concrete-encased feet through those bits 🫠

(I also already had Jamie be mean to Robbie in the only dang thing I've published and I still feel vaguely guilty about that lol)

#THANK YOU!!! 💚💚💚#Oh no- I just counted and I have nearly 40 WIPs- what the FUCKKKKK #that got so out of control so quickly #ask game #ask box is always open #readwing #jamiesfootball #i wrote a thing #<- that has accidentally become my writing tag I should FIX THAT #writing tag

VDC Drama

After the things in chapter 5 (Rook's betrayal), I wrote this cause our NRC boys deserved something better.

*WARNING*

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 5

#LEAVE IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!

SWEARING

LEGAL TERMINOLOGY (if you don't know what they are... ask google) ✌️

Imagine that Epel had an older sister that is a prodigy and she's a lawyer, she went and saw their VDC performance and was pissed by how VDC did their judging (our boys were robbed 🤬) and things happen.

After NRC lost to RSA at the VDC, due to a popularity poll🤦Epel's older sister was like 'WTF what is this sort of judgment it's stupid' and she was pissed, like pissed cause she watch our boys work hard on their performance and they lost to a kid's song were the choreography was shit and a mess.

Epel's older sister being the boss she is was like 'this sort of judging is shit and fucked up and unfair, so let's sue them.' And that's what she does, cause Epel's older sister has her own law firm (Tears of Themis fans 👀 anyone?) so she and a few of her own lawyers end up in a heated battle with VDC lawyer.

In the end plaintiff (Epel's older sister) wins and VDC lost a crap ton of money for compensation ✌️. VDC also ended up getting some proper judges for their competitions.

Our boys ended up meeting Epel's older sister to give their thanks

*Incoherent screaming*

Okay, so... ‘shounen-ai’ means the love of boys, yes—with adult men in the assumed subject position, like many other sex terms in Japanese. It was originally coined by Taruho Inagaki to talk about historical m/m in Japan and to make an analogy to Ancient Greece. Outside of a manga context, it means pederasty.

In a manga context, it’s slightly different:

Keiko Takemiya and Moto Hagio got dragged to see Les amitiés particulières by their buddy Norie Masuyama, and the Tragic Schoolboys era of shoujo manga was born.

(See this old interview with Hagio.)

'Shounen ai’ was used for a while to refer to these manga like Heart of Thomas that were being written in the 70s: dark, fucked up, #aesthetic, showing signs of too many hours at the arthouse theater and between the covers of a Herman Hesse novel.

By the 80s, both styles and terminology had shifted. ‘June’ (from the name of a magazine) and ‘Tanbi’ (’aestheticism’) were in vogue. ‘Yaoi’ was coined in the late 70s and was used throughout this period to mean something like “PWP”.

In the 90s, ‘BL’ won out as the general market niche term and has held strong ever since.

--

Meanwhile, in English, dumbasses decided that ‘yaoi’ referred to porn (more or less true) but ‘shounen ai’ referred to tasteful art about feelings and not Bad Sex Things... LOL. WTF. Have they read any 70s manga? It’s all chock full of rape and abuse!

The yaoi/shounen-ai distinction is baked into the site design of many weeaboo websites, including plenty of ones that categorize anime and also the fic archive MediaMiner. Thankfully, this stupidass use of the term is finally, finally starting to die out as these websites age and disappear.

Okay so yeah looked though the Danny phantom stuff on your blog (by the way thanks for reinvigorating that part of my childhood) and then got to the very long posts about the fact people will apply angst to things it has no business touching (to paraphrase? Summarize?) anyway just wanted pinpoint on one thing a person typed that set off my particular sensitivities

“ Family fluff can only give you so much, with so few canon families introduced in the series, the amount of content that can be made is considerably less.”

Excuse me bitch wtf? Like for personal reasons I don’t have positive feelings on familiar relationships but are you telling me you duckers are so….I don’t even have a term for this. You can’t write a happy loving family the same people who can write thousands of pages of ship/smut stuff can’t comprehend a happy family so much you have angst it up so you can swallow it. Babies have better pallets then you do. Geez Louise that was irritating!

Also

“So, I want something positive to come out of my complaining about how blandly angsty every Danny Phantom family headcanon gets. So, if you also ever feel the same way, drop into my ask box and I'll give you a fun cutesy fluff headcanon about them as a family.”

I would like one please if it’s not too much

Haha, wow you really dug back I don’t even have a passing care fore for Danny Phantom these days but it is pretty ridiculous that someone’s defense for nonsensical angst is that there’s not enough bad families to project onto so we’ve got to rewrite them. Like you had to have one in the charmless Spider-Man knock off. also Sams family is canonically terrible but she’s a woman so shhhhhhh.

As for headcanons. It’s been a while but, uh…Jack and Maddie were so overtly supportive of Danny coming out as trans that they attempted to invent a Fenton top surgery gun and Jazz spent 3 days reading about trans terminology and real life accounts from trans people so she could be a walking resource. Yeah. Yeah that’s cute and would piss of Hartman.

ride on the wind

synopsis: wherever the winds took you, at least you had wooyoung.

pairing: wooyoung (ateez) x gn!reader

genre: fluff, comfort, genshin impact!au

wc: 1k (1048)

warnings: cursing, mentions of crying, slight genshin lore spoilers

notes: if you don't understand any of the genshin terminology you can always ask me because i know i used a lot. basically, visions are how people harness the elements, mondstadt is the region the two are in (known for its value of freedom), an archon is a god, and gliding is basically like flying but for humans lol. reader has cryo vision and wooyoung has pyro although that's not so important. some of the lore might not be super accurate because i'm a fairly new player so please forgive me ahh.

also wtf busted out 1k words in less than a day with school. happy valentine's day! wanted to try something different for it, hope you enjoy and remember to reblog and like if you enjoyed!

taglist: @restlessmaknae

you look down at the view from stormbearer mountains, a light breeze caressing your skin. beside you, your friend wooyoung smiles, twirling the necklace with his pyro vision.

"come on, let's glide! it'll be fun!"

he exclaims, joining you in surveying the territory bathed in sunlight. it's beautiful, seeing the place you grew up in with the person you loved most.

although you and wooyoung were opposite in many ways, having a cryo and pyro vision respectively, with his personality generally being more energetic than yours, amongst other things, you knew that a friendship like the one you two had was something you needed to cherish. opposites really did attract.

you laugh. "ah, give me a minute, wooyoung. let me take in everything. the weather is so nice today!"

he takes a moment to roll his eyes. "well, you're only saying that because it's not really cold, snowy or raining."

even though you take this chance to elbow him, he's right. you disliked extremely cold weather.

while you were able to tolerate most types of weather, you'd prefer to not go out in unpleasant conditions, although the rain was great in helping you freeze any enemies that you chanced upon.

if it weren't for your dumbass of a best friend getting himself into trouble (and setting property on fire in the process), hell, you might not even leave the mondstadt library at all, too lost in a good book. it was wooyoung that brought out your outdoorsy and adventurous side. his presence alone could sometimes compel you to do things you usually wouldn't.

the wind begins to pick up slightly, almost urging you to ride its currents. you weren't always in the mood to glide, but today seemed like a good day for it.

"alright, i'll glide with you today," you say to wooyoung, grasping his hand with a smile. "as they say here, let—"

he finishes your sentence easily. "—the wind lead. come on!"

and with that, wooyoung lets go of your hand gently and jumps off the edge of the cliff, not wasting any time. you hesitate for a second, but swiftly run after him and do the same.

instinctually, you open your glider, and no matter how many times you think you'll fall upon jumping, you never do. the wind hasn't failed you yet.

time seems to fly by when you glide—you're not sure how long you've been up there for. you watch a dandelion seed blow by, and suddenly you feel nostalgic as it drifts away to who knows where.

here in mondstadt, you knew that freedom was of such great value here that the anemo archon, barbatos, did not directly govern the people, unlike say, in liyue.

when you had first read about the history of mondstadt in books, you found it odd, but now, you savored the freedom your archon had given you.

you and wooyoung had felt it as kids the first time he had convinced you to glide without a license (thankfully, it wasn't from such a high altitude), and although both of you are certified now and glide from much higher areas, you will always find your first gliding experience special.

speaking of the boy, he was screaming proudly, arms extended. if there was anyone who embodied this region, it was him. he was quite the free spirit—perhaps some of the only things that changed about him were that he grew a bit taller and decided to dye his hair semi-frequently.

to be honest, you wouldn't be surprised if he went on an adventure one day, never to return. he was always ready for something new, and even if you would miss him more than anything, you know his heart yearns to be free.

you yell towards him and watch as he turns mid-air to face you. "enjoying the view?"

"well, it sure is nice," he says with a smirk. "you look beautiful today."

you quickly formulate a response before he can have the satisfaction of seeing you flustered.

"thanks for the compliment, it's worth its weight in mora!"

thanks to years of practice, you can easily laugh his remarks off, although your heart of ice still flutters a little. wooyoung just happens to be very flirtatious, another habit of his you've become accustomed to. you're not sure if he sees you as more than a friend, anyways.

distracting you from your thoughts, wooyoung points to a small stone tower. "let's land over there!"

you chuckle. "right behind you!"

the two of you land gracefully onto the platform. luckily, it's larger than it appears and there's enough space for both of you. you dangle your legs over the edge and stare wistfully into the distance.

you feel him softly poke you. "hey, y/n?"

"yes?"

"i know you're the one who's supposed to be articulate and the smart one here, but i just wanted to say..."

he's hesitating. you don't usually see this side of him, but you're grateful that he trusts you enough to open up.

wooyoung continues, his voice a little more steady. "i've realized a lot of things, and one is that i never want to lose you. even if the winds carry me away to new lands and adventures, to liyue, sumeru, hell, even if they take me all the way to inazuma. i'll always find my way back here, just so we can make more memories."

"maybe you'll save my ass a couple more times, and you can criticize me all you want, because trust me. i'll still love you anyways."

he laughs and takes your hand. "y/n, i know you've realized that my heart may be like the wind, but it belongs to you. really."

there's a stupidly boyish smile on his face that you wish didn't make your heart beat so fast.

as you process the gravity of his words, you realize that you're holding back tears. what are you, the hydro archon?

you rest your head on his shoulder. "i love you too, dumbass."

he speaks to you softly. "don't cry. i'll be here, as long as you need me to be."

the two of you remain this way for a while, letting the wind's gentle touch keep you at peace for what seems to be an eternity.

people hate on TikTok, but I really like the suggested searches with videos. you will like watch a video and then you see the suggested search and think "wait wtf did this person also say that" and check it out. or maybe the person uses some terminology you're unfamiliar with, well the suggested search is likely that.

So for readers of "Come home with me and be my Love" I thought I'd share a bit of a complex question I'm wrestling with that I hope will be seen in the good faith that it is intended: how to handle Dream's pronouns when he's in public in "female" form as Morfea.

The story is from Hob's POV, first and foremost, which means the narrative is subjective rather than objective. Everything is being filtered through Hob's POV.

Now, as established in the story, Hob has had queer and specifically nonbinary/non gender conforming lovers in the past. While this is the 1810s so he's not going to think in strictly modern terminology, he is accustomed to the idea of changing pronouns for someone and he is sensitive to this fact so long as he knows which pronouns an individual prefers that he use.

However, this situation is complicated when it comes to Dream by a few things.

1) Dream has not told him what pronouns to use, so Hob has to guess.

2) Dream is a magical shape-changer, he switches between gender presentations so quick that it's not always clear in the situation what pronoun Hob should go with. Heck, sometimes Dream looks so different from Hob's conception of him in one of these forms that Hob sometimes even struggles to view this person as Dream. In theory it should be easy to just switch based on apparent gender presentation, but I am trying to convey a supernatural level of shape-changing here, something that does not happen in real life. This isn't Dream throwing on some makeup, this is a different person standing where Dream was a second ago. I think to faithfully represent how bizarre this would be for a normal human (like Hob) is important. This is a different *person* suddenly standing where your lover was standing, wtf pronouns are you supposed to use? And again, Dream is offering no guidance, he does not for example tell Hob to call him she/her when he presents as female, he doesn't say anything on that front at all. Hob just has to guess while trying to be respectful and not really understanding how or if Dream's self-perception changes when his appearance does.

3) Dream is disguised as a woman largely under the duress of his bargain with Desire. He clearly prefers to present as male. Based on what he tells Hob about his preferred appearance being a "favorite coat", his preferred appearance is male and he uses explicitly male pronouns. Everything else is an aberration inflicted on him by unusual circumstances.

So, as a default, Hob has opted to use male pronouns when thinking of Dream as the most respectful option, even when Dream is presenting himself as the woman "Morfea" to the world. Verbally, Hob uses female pronouns, but in his inner monologue which makes up the narrative, Dream is still Dream and Dream uses male pronouns. He would of course change if Dream asked him to do so, but again, Dream who withheld his name for 400 years is not being super forthcoming about whether he wants Hob to change pronouns for him when his appearance changes. Hob makes the decision that the most respectful thing to do with Dream's preferred identity is to continue using male pronouns.

Now, from a Doylist/writer's perspective, I also chose male pronouns in the narrative because on the written page, all we have to visualize the characters is words. Switching to female pronouns for Dream risked making it feel like there was a new character entirely and when writing, I like to stay as close to the canonical character "feel" as possible. And of course, I also went through much the same internal wrestling with this as Hob did.

Anyway, this is a long, rambling, and probably overly defensive take on why "Morfea" is referred to by Dream's male pronouns in all cases except verbally in the upcoming chapters, and I thought I'd share an essay about what that is in advance for anyone curious.
