GOOD MORNING I LOVE YOU

cultural ref w/o needing to mess with grammar rules. gay refs like cutsleeve, rabbit god, playing xiao (euph for blowjob)
lots of idioms out there, mostly it just comes down to speaking in metaphors, eg 守株待兔 is lit something with rabbits but means waiting for good things to happen w/o working for it

the thing about chinese poetry (and chinese in general) is that the language and grammar structures and styles are so different from english that it's very difficult to translate poetry and poetic styles in a way that doesn't sound stupid. i suggest chinese idioms and sayings, since it gives the-

the feet of women were considered private, and thus shoes were similar to underwear or lingerie
smut is often written as scenery metaphors (cresting over a mountain, trickling streams, etc.) b/c censorship
ppl sometimes mess with phrases within poetry to be snarky or change meanings to be flirty

avenuex on youtube has some guides on how poetry is used in danmei, she might be helpful
fyi some symbolism you'll see in chinese old literature (and modern smut, b/c censorship):
bells jingling is usually a euphemism b/c tying bell around ankle was form of seduction

hmm.... hi?
i have the adhd thing where my hyperfixations change every month which means i haven't posted anything even remotely danmei but i've read... i think every single one of your yi city fics. the completed ones, at least. it might just be that the interest doesn't show on the bsky page

i need him to be mean to his love interests because for once he has something of his own and he needs to break it before someone takes it away from him or breaks it for him. that's what makes him what he is. (6/9)
