i’m reading chinese cinderella in my english class and it’s one of the most amazing books i’ve read that’s like an autobiography. it’s truly a devastating story but it’s written in such a nice way almost as if it’s not a book but a diary. truly a peace of art.

ROUND 2A, MATCH 2 OUT OF 8!

*Includes Grimm Brothers and Charles Perrault tales.

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Cinderella / Aschenputtel / Cendrillon:

I love all Cinderellas but the Grimm version refocuses the story away from magical aid and transforms it into a story of the ability of grief to conversely power hope. ashenputtel weeps over the grave of her dead mother so much a beautiful tree grows out, with the voice of her mother guiding her and giving her the gown and shoes that ultimately get her to the ball. It turns Cinderella from a kind of passive receiver to a woman whose own love, in a way, saves her—her grief cycles into new joys, her love for the dead changes her for a new life. Idk it’s just a tremendously hopeful, haunting story, grounded in sorrow and love as our ways of guiding into the future.

Her slippers aren't made of glass, thankfully. Also, her step-sisters are blinded by birds who like Cinderella, apparently, on the day of the wedding. (I had to check this, as I knew the sisters had parts of their feet cut off to fit the shoe, but I was sure the mother had something bad happen, but there was no mention of a comeuppance for her. I found it on grimmstories.com, so I'm not sure how accurate to the original it is.)

Ye Xian:

Read it in middle school and have been fascinated with it since.

I love your country by country BL breakdowns and your trope discussions! Are there any tropes that are specific to Thailand, Korea or Japan or that show up extra often from a particular country?

Oooo, very good question.

Country Specific BL Tropes!

Visual tropes that specific countries seem to like more than others. Which is not to say everyone doesn’t do them, or Thailand doesn’t do the most (because they do the most BL). It’s a matter of in-country statistical re-occurrence.

Taiwan’s Beloved Tropes

Crash into me, AKA proximity alert and the pratfall kiss (I actually call them out for this one) I don’t think I have ever seen a Taiwanese Bl that hasn’t had this trope

Head in lap (also China & Japan)

Boyfriend sunshade

OTHERS

Weak seme uke dynamics

Masc presenting physicality

Friends to lovers

Casual physical affection and domesticity (heads in laps are popular)

Childhood crush & long term pining (also China)

Stepbrother trope (and other taboo power dynamics like teacher/student, age gap)

Kidnapping for love (also China) - old and rare

Korea’s Beloved Tropes

Korea is really strategic about their tropes and seems to be aware of the entire scope available but only deploy them as required to move along the narrative. As such they don’t really have ones that reoccur all the time or that they lean into (aside from the usual romance beats like first kiss, jealousy, etc...)

Beach frolic - this seems to be used (like Thailand) by the tourist board to remind people that they have beaches too.

Back hugs - yeah I didn’t realize this either

Wound tending, a variation on this one does seem to get into all their BL, it is a very useful plot device and excuse for physical contact (like messy eater, with is pretty rare in KBL - they don't like messy)

Extreme height difference (Japan & Thailand do this too, but no one pushes it as hard in BL as Korea)

OTHERS

Food (kitchen) or small business settings, and eating

Love triangles

Hyung AKA age gap (also Taiwan)

High production values, yoai framing, careful wardrobe and lighting

Japan’s Beloved Tropes

The wall loom/bang AKA Kabedon

The rooftop assignation

The water bottle drinking seme

OTHERS

Blushing maiden

The crisp blue school uniform (also Korea)

Whipping boy

Office settings

The running of the gays (one boy has his romantic epiphany at the moment of nearly losing the other guy and then absolutely must run, usually through city streets, to find to him)

Out of control seme (repressed desire spurts out)

Vietnam’s Beloved Tropes

Lap sitting

Household domesticity & gay families (also Taiwan)

Thailand’s Beloved Tropes

Thailand, because it dominates BL, dominates a lot of tropes, but here are some that specially BELONG to them, started with them, or are so very ubiquitous that we think of them as Thai.

Sing Your Feelings

Pillow Clutch

Shared Earbuds (dead trope)

Sharing his closet

OTHERS

University & high school settings

Sleep facing,

Mosquitos leave hickeys,

Forehead kissing, (others do it but Thailand LOVES it)

Hand kiss (Taiwan will do this too),

Car kissing,

pink milk,

pealing shrimp,

he’s in engineering,

post-it love note,

pinky swear (also Korea),

clear umbrella,

white wet towel sponge bath,

punishment language,

More on Thai BL & Romance Tropes

I don’t talk Chinese BL much (because for me, censorship goes both ways), but boy are they BIG fans of the fated mates AKA soulmates trope.

Other Country by Country stuff

(the above post is frozen and can no longer be updated) as this one could be at any time so here's the last update date for reference:

Nov 2023

Summary:

Joker (Zhou Xingchi) was brought back five hundred years ago by the Moonlight Box, met Zixia Fairy (Athena Chu), was branded by the other party to become the other party's person, and found that he had become Monkey King. Zixia and Qingxia (played by Zhu Yin) were originally the wicks of the sun and moon magic lamp in front of the Tathagata Buddha's seat (Zixia during the day and Qingxia at night). Although they have the same body, they have a deep hatred, so Zixia made an oath. Whoever can pull out the Ziqing sword in her hand is the one she likes. The Ziqing sword was inadvertently pulled out by Joker, and Zixia decided to agree with her body, but she was rejected by Joker who had his heart and mind for Bai Jingjing (played by Karen Mok). Bull Demon King rescued Zixia who was lost in the desert and forced Zixia to marry him. At the critical moment, Joker appeared.
