wei chao did a really great job here and in the letter scene. i have extra appreciation for how he projects subtle emotions through his intonation and pace of speech. every pause and every ebb and flow of his voice has meaning

sorry but adding to this thread again. imo an exception to my “tag whatever you want” rule is def danmei fandoms or any media where the creator has a designated dynamic bc i’d want to respect the creator’s wishes

the combined effects of global warming and water-guzzling AI data centers will make the earth unreasonably hot and you will have to patiently explain that men once wore these things called "sleeves" and then people will say you're just nitpicking

and as someone who posts fics sometimes part of the joy is in comments like “i didn’t think this’d be Bottom XX but you made it work” 🥺

and tbh power dynamic matters more to me than t/b. eg top bruce and power bottom bruce are the same to me 😭

- 100 authors can write the same dynamic in 100 diff ways, so there’s no guarantee a properly tagged fic wouldn’t upset them
- and they’d think the author should add more specific tags wrt the dynamic bc the general t/b tags might be “misleading”
- and the cycle goes on

- sometimes when i read a fic that doesn’t tag t/b it surprises me in the best way possible and i actually appreciate it when my expectations are subverted
- sometimes i read a fic that does tag t/b the characterization and dynamic still isn’t what i wanted at that moment

- as i do have a t/b preference for some ships i filter for fics by the Top XX / Bottom XX tags sometimes, so i do miss out on fics i would’ve liked but were untagged in this regard. but it’s fine! it’s just that i’m not fated to read it at this moment! it’ll come back eventually!

straightening out my thoughts on the Big Tagging Discourse

- it’s within your right to advocate for the tagging system you think works better
- however insulting other people for not following whatever system you follow is extremely rude and entitled
- consumerism will be the downfall of fandom
