hi lin! it’s lati hehe. i saw your thread and as someone who has yet to read your stories (that reminds me, what would you recommend šŸ‘€) i’m telling you this rn, being completely aware of it tells me everything i need to know. i’m certain none of them feel heteronormative!! as someone who uses she/they pronouns i understand completely where you’re coming from in terms of masculinity and femininity! i feel the exact same yay. anywho, i hope someone gives you a clear answer, and that person has read your stories!! i’ll be reading some as well but i’m certain there’s none of it. please don’t worry too much but thank you for bringing this to attention! it’s super important to talk about these things :)

hi lati omg!! here i am 7 months later omg i’m so sorry😭 (it’s the 7… the bts number……) i myself am even queer both gender and sexuality wise, and i definitely have a very skewed and unconventional idea of femininity and masculinity, yet i still can’t help but worry yk😭 heteronormative views and ideals are so deeply ingrained into everything around us that you rly can’t escape it no matter how much you try, sadly. and falling into those norms w my writing which is supposed to be fun, an escape, and a direct attack on those norms? that would be the worst thing that could happen. plus there’s also always gonna be a difference between what i personally view as very queer-centric vs what other ppl may view as such. i wanna make sure i’m not blinded by my own views and somehow appealing to things i shouldn’t thru that :( ofc in the end gender, sexuality and expression is a lot more complicated than simple dos and don’ts, but yeahšŸ˜ž even if it’s a small thing, our silly little aus—and just art of any kind, rly—does impact the relationships with and the views of queer culture and norms in little ways either for the better or worse. and there’s sadly a lot of heteronormative tropes and ideals we gotta fight in the bts fic writing community :( god i’m probably just babbling, talking in circles and not making any sense at all i’m sorry. i’m not very good at articulating stuff and i just tend to end up in a ramble😭 sorry that this turned out to be so damn long!

now what would i rec of mine??? whaatudujdjsjd are you crazy there’s no way i could ever answer that. i’m just a mentally ill sheltered bitch that’s just trying to stay alive who writes once in a while I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM DOING😭 i’m rly just self-taught and putting words on a page blindly. can i answer w ā€œnothingā€ā€¦? there’s not a ton of stuff that i’m super proud of or at least consider good🫠 ESP FOR YOU TO CHECK OUT HELLO?? showing michelangelo my 3rd grade art project hello sir what do you think of my clay blob his name is todd
