hi lin! itā€™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‘€) iā€™m telling you this rn, being completely aware of it tells me everything i need to know. iā€™m certain none of them feel heteronormative!! as someone who uses she/they pronouns i understand completely where youā€™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!! iā€™ll be reading some as well but iā€™m certain thereā€™s none of it. please donā€™t worry too much but thank you for bringing this to attention! itā€™s super important to talk about these things :)

hi lati omg!! here i am 7 months later omg iā€™m so sorryšŸ˜­ (itā€™s the 7ā€¦ the bts numberā€¦ā€¦) 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 canā€™t help but worry ykšŸ˜­ heteronormative views and ideals are so deeply ingrained into everything around us that you rly canā€™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 thereā€™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 iā€™m not blinded by my own views and somehow appealing to things i shouldnā€™t thru that :( ofc in the end gender, sexuality and expression is a lot more complicated than simple dos and donā€™ts, but yeahšŸ˜ž even if itā€™s a small thing, our silly little ausā€”and just art of any kind, rlyā€”does impact the relationships with and the views of queer culture and norms in little ways either for the better or worse. and thereā€™s sadly a lot of heteronormative tropes and ideals we gotta fight in the bts fic writing community :( god iā€™m probably just babbling, talking in circles and not making any sense at all iā€™m sorry. iā€™m not very good at articulating stuff and i just tend to end up in a ramblešŸ˜­ sorry that this turned out to be so damn long!

now what would i rec of mine??? whaatudujdjsjd are you crazy thereā€™s no way i could ever answer that. iā€™m just a mentally ill sheltered bitch thatā€™s just trying to stay alive who writes once in a while I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM DOINGšŸ˜­ iā€™m rly just self-taught and putting words on a page blindly. can i answer w ā€œnothingā€ā€¦? thereā€™s not a ton of stuff that iā€™m super proud of or at least consider goodšŸ«  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
