is it just me who doesn't like the term "mom" getting used for a biologically male person in a fic where the couple has kids? for example, shua being called "mom/mama" in many fics, like... i don't know. It's like, for me, as a queer person, it rubs in the wrong way because you're making it seem like that only a mother can have such a vulnerable role of taking care of a child, that it's a mother's duty only so the guy, in a ship, who's taking on the role of nurturing the child more actively, should be called "mama" like... i just find it weird. It's not weird when they say "mommy" (as almost a joke) to a really sexy photo, that's okay but it's weird in fanfics tbh.

I don't know, sometimes, everyone here feels so homophobic. Like the topic that shua is pretty and feminine so he must be a bottom like no, he has great muscles and while I also mostly like to read fics where he's a bttm i just think that its weird to ignore his actual body for which he works so hard for. That being the case, i think there should be more fics with dom bottom shua who manhandles han easily like... that's really accurate to actual jihan/yoonhong dynamics.

A top can be pretty like a girl and feminine and like cute things and a bottom can be manly as fuck! thinking otherwise, it would just mean we're trying to force a bxb ship into a hetero one, something more "socially" acceptable and falling into stereotypes about gay people. I don't know if i'm explaining it right but, yk?

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ANON 🙏🏻 i 100% agree with everything. i also like bttm js/top jh more, but people feel SO homophobic sometimes. they might just as well ship straight ships and leave us alone, i’m truly tired of their heteronormativity. joshua isn’t skinny and fragile but he can still be a bottom, jeonghan isn’t muscular and huge but he can still be a top, and the dom/sub can vary unrelated to who’s dick is in who’s ass. i’m not against ppl who have top/bttm preferences but it’s getting too much and it feels genuinely weird especially as a queer person.
their headcanons correspond only to their y/n fantasies and not to the real dynamic between jihan which is disappointing as well.
