Hello!! Can i ask some tartali fanfic recommendations??
look at my bookmarks for some fics that u might like [: https://archiveofourown.org/users/neptuneartyk/bookmarks
the correlation between misogyny and homophobia aside, i think anon has a few luggages to unpack bc why were they talking about relationships like its a power struggle ("why would a powerful archon submit to a weak harbinger")
ok. im sorry, i didn't think of it like that. also from my last sentence i meant that when I've been called misandrist, i would prefer to be called misandrist than to be misogynistic bc I'm just gay and just a "women>>" type of person I'm sorry
writer anon again !! i wrote "pet" ! the very e rated foxchi/bunli one :''))
Is there a movie/series that reminds you of tartali? of so can you kindly share it to us :3
Just wanna thank you for taking the time to explain your view about that top/bottom discourse( I was reading the whole thing). It takes a lot of intelligence, maturity and empathy to explain your side patiently when most people just wanna fling petty insults at each other. You never know when you can change someone's mind, which is exactly what you did!
retroneptu | nothing to thank me for! if my words helped them realize what was wrong, then i am glad. i gotta say i've also "fought" about top/bottom stuff in the past, which is indeed petty, and i learned that those kind of discussions don't really matter-- if some people like to see their fave characters fixed, switching, or whatever, we should all respect each others likings. doesn't mean we have to be comfortable around everything, but just respect, and know our own limits. it's just a preference on dynamics that relies only on each individual fan :)
Waaaa that mpreg Tarta/trans!Li AU gives me so much brainrot!! Do you plan on drawing some of their backstory like how did they meet, fall in love or decide to have a baby? Or maybe Zli coming out and Chlde being a supportive boyfriend? On my knee waiting with an empty bowl in my hands aaaaa
retroneptu | omg thank you so much TT yes i have some ideas for them!! i don't know if i'll make them all because i mostly want to draw them being soft and cute around each other, but i do have thoughts about when zl takes the pregnancy tests and tells childe, or them buying stuff for the baby ;v; or discussing what kind of name they should give them !! aaa i love them so much ueueue
i saw one of my fics in your bookmarks !! its not much but i really enjoy your content so it was a nice surprise 🥲❤️
will we get to see more of hai yu? 🥺
i reflected. and im sorry and thankful for letting me realize that. I didn't know that i had internalized misogyny when i had always hated people who're misogynistic and homophobic. im sorry and very thankful that u actually took the time to write that all out for me to realize. I'm very sorry
thanks to you for letting me explain it how I see it, and for actually reflecting on it! we all have some parts of internalized misogyny, homophobia, or any other prejudices against minorities because we are born in an awful system and sometimes it's hard to notice our own mistakes, but it's a great step to say sorry and try to think about it from another perspective <3
ok im that one anon from last time who asked why zhongli was the bottom, and rlly set me straight from how i see this ship and im sorry but literally where did u guys even pull that I'm misogynistic bs from?? when we're literally talking about two men, literally no woman in what we're talking about. I've literally been called a misandryst n proud of it even tho i would actually get shit if i admitted it
I'll explain it to you, don't think i'm attacking you or anything, just telling you why people and i myself correlate misogyny with homophobia as well. You implied that zhongli is a god therefore stronger than childe, therefore it would fit him more to be a top. People with internalized homophobia see bottoms as the weak side, as the "femenine" side (typical question 'which one is the woman in the relationship?') because they receive in the sexual position, like a woman in a typical heterosexual relationship. Being a bottom is seen as being like a woman, thus making it seem that they are weaker than their partner who is also a man just like them. Woman are weaker than men in the patriarchy system, the more caring, nurturing, cute side, while men are portrayed as the stronger, prideful, harder to break side. Whether it is conscious or unconsciously, it is both misogynistic and homophobic, because again they are setting stereotypes of hetero relationships over homosexual relationships. Being a botton in a mlm relationship has nothing to do with a woman, of course, and yet being a bottom has nothing to do with self strenght either.
To answer your question as to why zhongli is a bottom-- simply, why not? Why couldn't he? What is the reason to not be one? Absolutely none. If you like to see him like that, good. If you don't, then good too. There are no reasons for being a bottom or a top in fiction, these are solely based on the fans preferences/desires/likes. That's all there is.
I hope that answers your doubts a bit more clearly.
Also... not sure what you meant with your last sentence, I'm hoping you just didn't say you are actually misandrous and that you're proud of it?
I hope you never stop doing what you love just because of some anonymous hater(s). A lot of us here got your back!!! Cheers to more of your beautiful art and amazing concepts 🥂
