#'wrong'/people who don't like *ember's HC are in denial or whatever... pls

[harocat]

People really think that canonically HC is built like a tank.

Where are they getting this though. He's described as slender and lanky. He's certainly broader than XL, and it says as much, but XL is a small guy. He's one of the shortest characters in the cast (though he is ofc extremely physically strong, so he's buff in his own way).

Like there is only ONE version of the series; adaptation, official art, etc. where HC is BIG, and it's the one where he didn't start off that way but expanded into nineties yaoi proportions as the series went on. He's good in the early manhua and early manhua official art.

Like isn't this the first official art of HC??

That's not huge or swole or tanky. that's just a... tall guy. But over and over in this fandom you're 'ignoring canon' if you deny that he's huge like *Ember's HC.

#look i am all for size differences and BIG GUYS are great but HC is not... really that #he's just tall #and XL is short #and i truly do not mind if people want to draw him that way but to say he's canonically that way and people who draw him otherwise are #'wrong'/people who don't like *ember's HC are in denial or whatever... pls #especially when they make it some kind of activist thing like 'oh you just can't accept that some gay couples do fit more traditionally- #-fem and masc aesthetics' #for example #i don't go to SVSSS yet but I like the art where binghe is rly big with huge fluffy hair even though it's apparently not accurate #it just appeals to me aesthetically #but i promise when i read the books i will not act like my opinion of this is canon and everyone who pretends otherwise is lying lol #i even often enjoy a more noodly take on HC than canon bc TALL SUPER NOODLE HC and short buff XL is cute to me #but I'm not like 'wow you're denying canon if you don't draw it that way' #tgcf #size difference wank is stupid but here i am
