if the tweet was just "look how daddy dom top" gyu looks here i wouldnt have said anything lmao even i disagreed on shadows and contrats making him more masc but i digress. i didnt qrt the post bc "oh no theyre coming after bbg gyu/stans whatever will i do 😱" but bc they were conflating masc with dom/top which is just. blegh. i went in more detail on my other retro but yeah, theyre not the same so im gonna point it out. and im also a subtop bg enthusiast but personally idc what other ppl prefer, if u wanna make posts about how dom or masc or fem or sub he looks go ahead, just dont imply that someone fem cant be a dom, someone masc cant be a bottom, etc etc.

there are several things i want to touch on this so please bear with me. first of all i have seen the discourse surrounding this is issue and i very much agree with the points that where made, especially by transmasc and trans men in the community. that being said i also think the rpf fandom is probably not ready to have that conversation in any meaningful and nuanced way. what i mean by this is that a lot of people have a very narrow and oftentimes just downright erroneous understanding of gender identity, gender expression, queer sexual preferences, queer identity, etc etc. and that also crosses on the fact that how you understand gender is a very personal and subjective thing that may also carry its own stereotypes, biases, etcetc.

so that's how you get people clamoring for more "masculine" bg and equating that with being a "dom top daddy" which reinforces the gender binary in a personally uncomfortable way, much in the same way people equating "sub bottom bbygirl" with "feminine" does. i think both are part of the problem and that's why i highlighted it, because regardless of if it happens more or less often it's still part of the issue. the solution isn't to go one way or the other but to better educate ourselves on terms like top/bttm, dom/sub as well as deepen our understanding of gender beyond stereotypes and societal norms. i'm personally on that journey as i admit i am still learning and i don't think there's any shame on that !

i hope this is understandable, and thank you for sharing your opinion and allowing me to share mine as well !

(p.s: i believe my tweets yesterday might've been a bit too combative/snarky, i was in a bad mood and i think i could've handled it better)

THEY JUST FIT OKAY !! IN MY MIND THEY FIT !!! actually i was thinking tyvn would have known him, bc kvi doesn't come in until his second year and gyv dies on tyvn's first year, mostly bc i am a sucker for taegyv angst <33 omg you and me 🤝 writing things that'll never see the light of day ajhdah i actually already wrote a scene for this au that i'll probably never post but its basically a little conversation between kvi and bmgyv in which he basically tells him it doesn't matter that he's a curse, or whether he is the 'real bmgyv' or not bc he's only ever known him and he loves that person, whoever or whatever he is. its not that good but im a sucker for that sort of thing so yeah !

(also if you wanna share it if you do write it you can always send it and i won't post it if you don't want to,,or you can slide on my dms,,,,just saying 👀)

its bmgyu, it'll always be bmgyu. like im sorry thats my ride or die !! the apple of my eye !!! he can do no wrong and idec if he's a little bit of a mary sue bc i would Die for him and—well, you get the idea asjdhdf

aside from that very obvious answer tho i really love ac!yjn too !! like ive seen a lot of reaction threads be very sad about him not being anyones 'favorite' but I actually see where he's coming from and how he might be satisfied and content with the way things shaped up in their little polycule ! like idk about u but being someones 'favorite' in the way it's presented in ac is,,a bit of a Lot ?? (especially with soogyv) which is something desirable for a lot of people but definitely not me !! and i can see how yjn might prefer his romantic relationships a little less intense. its not like they don't adore him either, and in a sense the favorite thing is described as something almost intrinsic, something neither of them 'chose' really and so, having boyfriends that have that and still choose to love and care for you is special in its own way !! idk i just love how yjn handles it and avoids typical tropes that come with that sort of thing !

(as a complete aside id sacrifice my first born child to read ac!yeonkai's ritual,,,just had to put it out there)

sorry,,,u just asked for my favorite boy and i wrote a dissertation on a random aspect of the story,,,look i have worms in my brain and they love antichrist a lot and that's about as much explanation as i can give you asjdf (also take this as an open invitation to come here and talk about it or any other birdy fic if u want bc i love them all and would love to talk about them into oblivion <3)

actually i did cook this au a little ! so far i have yjn as maki, kvi as yuuji and tyvn as megumi (bc im itafushi trash first human second). but yes predictably they all do end up falling in love for gyv/each other ashkjds the plot i have in mind so far is also a bit different than the jjk one. like i have 3choi being first years together, tyvn would be a year younger and gyv would die at the beginning of his second year, so kvi would never get to know the "real" choi bmgyu but the curse sbn created. i did also think of an au where bmgyu is yuta and sbn is rika too,,,clearly the jjk brainrot is real rn ahsjd also sorry for the late reply !! i keep thinking ive replied and no i just drafted it at work then forgot to send 😭</3
