Welcome to the Ultimate Shixiongfucker / Shijiefucker Tournament

Whether the character is hot for their shixiong, shijie, qianbei, xuezhang, xuejie, senpai, sunbae, or another related title, this is the tournament to discover the Ultimate Shixiongfucker (or Shijiefucker).

If there are enough nominations, the tournament will be split into a Canonicals tournament and a Noncanonicals tournament.

Nomination Requirements

On the nomination form, you must include the character's name, their shixiong / shijie's name, the media they're from, whether the relationship is canonical or not, and propaganda for the nomination. There is also an option to include a link to a picture of the nominated character - please do not link fanart unless you can also provide contact details for the fanartist so I can ask their permission.

The shixiong / shijie character must be known in canon as a shixiong, shijie, qianbei, xuexiong, xuejie, senpai, sunbae, senior, or another equivalent role / title.

The shixiongfucker character must canonically be the shidi / shimei / xuedi / xuemei / houbei / kohai / hoobae / junior / etc. of the shixiong / shijie character.

For Canonical nominations, the shixiongfucker character must be in or desire to be in a romantic and / or sexual relationship with the shixiong / shijie character in canon.

For Noncanonical nominations, please do not submit crackships. There must be some kind of subtext or vibes to suggest the relationship or desire for a relationship.

You can nominate as many characters as you like, but each nomination must be a separate submission.

Nominations will only be accepted via the nomination form (link in the first reblog of this post).

Timing

Nominations are open until midnight on April 21, 2024.

Round 1 will begin in early May, after I've sorted through the nominations and generated brackets.

Each round will go for 1 week.

The total number of rounds will depend on the number of nominations.

General

I will aim to answer asks within 24 hours, but I may not always be able to do so. Please be understanding.

No character-bashing allowed. Keep discussions civil.

queer rep in 《鸣龙少年》 The Hope (2023)

i just finished bingeing all 30 episodes last night and i thought i was over this, but i'm really not.

Yu Yang (禹洋) is a shy senior in Class 11 with a stammer. in ep. 5, we learn that due to health issues, he took an extended leave from school and thus had to repeat his second year, so he's a year older than his peers. his mother is well-meaning but overbearing, and he was made the target of quite egregious bullying before he joined Lei Ming's (雷鸣) class. throughout the show, we see him become more and more willing to voice his own opinions and set boundaries, esp. with his mother.

(a side point, but i absolutely adore how the show did not pathologize his stammer as a bad thing he had to be "cured" of; it's through unconditional acceptance and encouragement from the adults in his life and his friends that we see him naturally come out of his shell.)

unlike his four friends in Class 11, he doesn't seem to be embroiled in any of their tangled 感情线 / "love" lines, nor does he seem to have one at all—until ep. 21.

on new year's day, the Class 11 CPs are a mess. Jiang Qinglang (江晴朗) confesses to Cheng Yushan (程雨杉), leaving poor Bian Xiaoxiao (边晓晓) who likes JQL and Li Ran (李燃) who likes CYS behind.

so when the fireworks go off, JQL and CYS are togther, whereas BXX and LR are together—contrary to how the show has been pairing them thus far.

then we cut to YY, who is watching the fireworks alone, but about to text someone.

that's a name we haven't seen before! Wu Fan (吴凡), i wonder who that is?

importantly, we see him delete the "I" and instead wish this person "happy new year."

the entirety of ep. 21 was about confessions, crushes, dating/breaking up/moving on, and the innocent and pure feelings we experience in our 青春 / youth.

so it's truly not that big of a stretch for me to think that what YY may originally have been intending to write was “我喜欢你” / "I like you."

then, in ep. 24, Lei Ming takes his class on a trip to Qingbei University in Beijing. and it's there we finally learn who the mysterious WF is.

four years ago in 2015, an older student once stood up for the bullied YY and ended up with quite a nasty beating.

as YY quietly cleans his savior's injuries, they have a brief exchange:

Yu Yang: I'm sorry. Wu Fan: You haven't done anything wrong. What are you apologizing for? In the future, raise your voice when you speak and build up your muscles; I guarantee no one will dare to mistreat you. If that really doesn't work, let's enroll in the same university later on. In the future, I'll continue to protect you.

in the present (2019), YY is waiting outside WF's university. originally overjoyed to see WF, YY's expression drops when he sees his xuezhang with a girlfriend. nevertheless, this might be one of the only times in this entire show we see YY don such a sweet open-mouthed smile.

they grab milk tea together and catch up, reminiscing about their earlier years. unfortunately, whereas YY has never forgotten their first meeting, WF remarks that he would've forgotten about it entirely if not for YY mentioning it now.

then YY asks what will happen after WF graduates.

the camera cuts to a shot of the milk tea brand: 心意 / the intentions of my heart.

this milk tea shop is a recurring setting throughout this drama. it's where one of the main CPs (Li Ran & Yu Chengshan) had one of their earliest interactions in ep. 3, and it has consistently been romantically coded (e.g., a boy treating his crush to a cup of milk tea).

so, effectively, as WF tosses away his empty cup, that is also signaling the short lifespan of his current relationship.

finally, WF encourages YY. only...

Wu Fan: I promised my mom I'll return home to take the civil service exam. After I graduate next year, I'll immediately go back to Xingzhou.

and then, once again, as YY sadly watches WF walk away, the camera cuts to the milk tea cup in his own hands.

in the end, Yu Yang never got to express his 心意 for his xuezhang, and he can only keep it to himself.

but as their Chinese teacher Tan Xiaozhou (谭小舟) remarked earlier in ep. 21 during their class on love poems:

Love is not only in the present tense or future tense, but also in the past tense. Having loved before doesn't mean that the current love isn't real. Loving now doesn't mean you won't love again in the future. If you didn't obtain it, or you broke up—without longing, without resentment—silently remembering the beautiful parts—bidding "Take care" in a cool demeanor: this, also, is love. [...] To me, the most important thing about love is that I can respect your independent nature, protect your lonely soul, and defend your right not to love me.

and so concludes our Class 11 xuezhang's 感情线. for a gaokao-prep cdrama that aired on CCTV8, i honestly cannot believe we got any of this.

here are two more small instances of queer acknowledgment:

in ep. 13, school psychologist Sang Xia (桑夏) leads a lecture on sexual harassment: what it looks like, how to prevent it, how to keep yourself safe. right from the start, she emphasizes that boys can be victims as well—and also that harassment can occur between same-sex individuals.

in ep. 21, when the school runs amok with dating rumors among the teachers, Sang Xia questions why everyone defaults to thinking that it must be a male teacher confessing to a female teacher.

overall, i seriously cannot recommend this show enough. it tackles so many themes (e.g., the premature grief of losing a loved one to Alzheimer's; the importance of destigmatizing depression and mental health overall; the hugely significant role that family/home life has on students' ability to perform well in school; that parents are not infallible and can be controlling/manipulative/abusive, even if unintentionally; that SES so greatly impacts the trajectory of a student's life; how damaging bullying/cyberbullying can be; and that though society is rife with inequity and injustice, it is the responsibility of adults—as best as they can—to create a more just and safer world for all children), and in both a realistic and gently heartwarming way.

#the hope #鸣龙少年 #cdrama ramblings #the episodes on depression also hit especially hard for me #esp as someone who is training to be a psychologist #rly like how Sang Xia put it: psychologists are both teachers and doctors #this show really humanized these students and god i wish such compassion and empathy could always be extended to people with depression

I low-key want to write a modern au in which Luo Binghe goes to college and attends the same calculus class as Shen Jiu and the same book club as Shen Yuan, but because they're identical twins and because everyone just calls them Shen Xuezhang he assumes they're the same person whose personality fluctuates between two extremes for some reason.

Cue to miscommunications and hijinks that somehow culminate with him discovering they're two people only once he finally asks them out (once in the book club and a second time after calculus just to be sure) and both brothers attend their first date.

[puddingcatbeans]

really bummed that there's no english equivalent that encompasses the vibes of "shixiong/shijie" or "xuezhang/xuejie"

#trying to speed-translate an interview rn #i'm not like a die-hard fan of this guy but #i am kinda excited that i'll be in vicinity of a pop star for the next few days #now to figure out how to introduce him to the eng speaking world... #beanstalks

[chronomally]

I can't tell if every interaction she and her xuezhang have is really like this or if it's all getting filtered through horny and/or romance novelist brain

#please feel free to ignore this #I'm watching Mom Don't Do That! #Like some of it is really obvious but some of it is like hm. maybe? #The important takeaway is they keep putting him in these very thin white shirts

“Xuezhang.” Xue Xin took a few breaths violently, and said in a bitter tone, “You really…want to do this?”

“Otherwise?” Lin Xun said softly, “Wake up in the real world and see him again? Why bother?”

He smiled, looked around the city that was so silent in the early hours of the morning, and said lightly, “Isn’t this also a kind of freedom?”

Since the beginning I've been like "haha wow the vibes on xuezhang are so bad Ru-rong you absolutely can't stay with this guy" and this is an important story about trusting your instincts because guess who turned out to be a SERIAL KILLER
