Hello! Just Wanted To Ask What You Think About The Idea In The Fandom That Shang Might Be Bisexual Because

Hello! Just wanted to ask what you think about the idea in the fandom that Shang might be bisexual because he was in love with Ping before he knew Ping was actually Mulan?

It’s silly, and stupid. It’s the product of people mistaking any kind of “positive reaction” for “romantic love.”

Shang is impressed that Ping can fight well, especially since he’s the one working toward that goal—having trainees who can fight better than he found them—and people think that pleased/impressed facial expression must mean he was in love with a man.

Shang is glad at least someone is on his side, based on his own merit, not just base on his parentage—and he happens so be glad enough to show a tiny half smile over one shoulder—so people think that tiny half smile means he’s in love with a man.

Shang’s life is saved by Ping, who breaks the rules, breaks ranks, and disobeys a direct order—the complete polar opposite of discipline-focused-character Shang—and so he shows concern when Ping collapses—so people think that concern must mean he was in love with a man.

There are many and varied shades to human emotion. It is not “totally impassive” OR “wildly in love.” A smile doesn’t mean one character is in love with another. Joking together doesn’t mean one character is in love with another. Concern when one character is injured does not mean one character is in love with another. Growing up together and remaining close through hardships does not mean one character is in love with another. Bickering doesn’t mean one character is in love with another.

Romantic love is a conscious choice that might get its inception from an involuntary moment of attraction. But everything else about it has a beginning moment, and that beginning moment is when Character A consciously thinks, “what if me and Character B got together romantically?” Shang does not have that moment until he’s on the steps of the Emperor’s palace. He has a changed perspective, he has admiration, he even has camaraderie, but he does not have “what if me and Mulan got together romantically?” until after the fight is over and it’s time to evaluate who they are to each other.

People have a desperate desire to make every positive or barely-kind interaction between two people be the utmost peak of all affection, instantly, and it’s sad. It shows either an obsession with sexual desire or a desperation to see “romantic love, which is the Peak of All Interactions” in everything.

My very first cosplay!

In 2017 when I was a huge Steven Universe fan and made a whole lot of gemsona OCs!

I dressed up as my Star Sapphire OC called Taurus ♉🐂✨

My Very First Cosplay!

My dress was literally hot-glued together because I despised using our modern sewing machine (I still do)

I didn't have much money as a uni student that didn't work, so I DIYed a lot of the accessories, like the horns and the gem with whatever I had on hand.

I can't remember where I got the flowers, but I know they were free and I already had the perfect shoes! You can't see it very well, but they have cute little leaf gems on them.

-------

I'll be doing my second and third cosplay this year as I'm going to two cons! They're both Danny Phantom-inspired!

This one will be my closet cosplay with a few extras. I've been documenting it for Tumblr and you can find what I've done so far here.

My Very First Cosplay!

And this is my King (Queen) Phantom cosplay. Haven't started this one yet, but I'll also be documenting it, so look out for those posts!

You don't need anyone's approval for the stories you write and the art you create. But it's also absolutely valid to want some approval from your audience. Kudos and likes don't determine your creation's worth. But it just feels amazing to receive them.

Reluctant Jamette- Book Cover Design 1

These were the ideas I sketched for my final assignment. I decided on another minimalist cover with bright colours. I went for that half-and-half theme. The character sees herself and her alter ego as two separate things, as she didn't choose this for herself.

I played around with shackles and playing card themes as well, seeing as she's being toyed with by demons. She feels trapped despite seemingly having more freedom behind this dark face.

The clownish idea came from the Youtuber Understanding Conspiracy and his popular theory of 'The Nephilim Look Like Clowns'.

I borrowed the idea of the clown nephilim in their bright colours and mesmerising patterns and combined it with a character called a Jab Jab from my country's culture.

Catching back up with some OC doodles!

This is Rowena Galen. She was originally my Steven Universe Ruby OC that I turned human, that I turned into a witch, but I'm not for that witchcraft thing anymore, so she's a regular human now.

I have so many story lines for this character (she's my favourite, obviously). The sword alludes to her occupation as a knight.

I've recently decided to resurrect her, and I've been doodling some potential new designs.

Cute chibi girl! 💕💕

I used to draw like this as a teen, being inspired by the cute, girly art and cartoons of the era (2000s- early 2010s).

Another OC! This is Bruna Draven, a bird-type character. I remember putting a lot of thought into her design, but I never got around to working on her story.

She was supposed to be a jealous rich mean-girl, but she slithered her way into being the oblivious yet well meaning friend.

She, Rowen and Iris are all from the same universe and are friends.
