hi lin! itās lati hehe. i saw your thread and as someone who has yet to read your stories (that reminds me, what would you recommend š) iām telling you this rn, being completely aware of it tells me everything i need to know. iām certain none of them feel heteronormative!! as someone who uses she/they pronouns i understand completely where youāre 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!! iāll be reading some as well but iām certain thereās none of it. please donāt worry too much but thank you for bringing this to attention! itās super important to talk about these things :)
hi lati omg!! here i am 7 months later omg iām so sorryš (itās 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 canāt help but worry ykš heteronormative views and ideals are so deeply ingrained into everything around us that you rly canāt 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 thereās 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 iām not blinded by my own views and somehow appealing to things i shouldnāt thru that :( ofc in the end gender, sexuality and expression is a lot more complicated than simple dos and donāts, but yeahš even if itās a small thing, our silly little ausāand just art of any kind, rlyādoes impact the relationships with and the views of queer culture and norms in little ways either for the better or worse. and thereās sadly a lot of heteronormative tropes and ideals we gotta fight in the bts fic writing community :( god iām probably just babbling, talking in circles and not making any sense at all iām sorry. iām not very good at articulating stuff and i just tend to end up in a rambleš sorry that this turned out to be so damn long!
now what would i rec of mine??? whaatudujdjsjd are you crazy thereās no way i could ever answer that. iām just a mentally ill sheltered bitch thatās just trying to stay alive who writes once in a while I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM DOINGš iām rly just self-taught and putting words on a page blindly. can i answer w ānothingāā¦? thereās not a ton of stuff that iām super proud of or at least consider goodš« 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
