#this is not about tyk because i havent read the end of the novel yet

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

there is just something about fictional gays pulling the reverse bury your gays card like wenzhou in woh nearly dying (multiple times!) but instead of that becoming immortal, wangxian in mdzs/the untamed with wwx committing sucide/being torn to death before he could date lwj or even acknowledge their mutual affection and then literally getting a second life in which he can fulfill all of this and more, or in tgcf with hualian both being already a ghost or a god and literally keeping eachother in this world for literally all of eternity

#personal #unrelated ramblings #this is not about tyk because i havent read the end of the novel yet #tgcf #mdzs #the untamed #woh #i love this so much and i could talk about it nonstop #i couldnt describe how soothing and rewarding and validating and GOOD this makes me feel #being gay is so good it gets you a second life/keeps you in this world #not in a superpower kind of way because that would put queerness on a weird pedestal #queerness is ordinary and normal like being born with dark brown hair its not literally divine #but theres just something about. like. queerness being so fine it #allows you to stay human and stay alive which is so beautiful #i guess it works because these stories dont treat queerness as a plot device #these people just so happen to be queer #their love that immortalizes them just so happen to be queer love #and thats insanely beautiful and validating and very important for my small heart
