Re: Confessions/secrets you can't be bothered to make

Back in my early days of fandom, I had this friend who was very into Fushigi Yuugi. This being before I had access to high speed internet, I didn't see it for myself until years later. (Which kinda tangents off into this thing of how I functionally have nostalgia for a show that only exists in my own head, but that's not the point.) It was... disappointing to say the least.

But a solid decade later, and I still can't stop thinking of how frustratingly attractive Nuriko is. "Frustrating" because HO BOY is this not a good depiction of an LGBT individual. Not that I really expect much from 90's anime, but it's got such a bad case of conflating gay men and trans women, mixed in with this awkward dash of "just needed to meet the right girl" at the end, that I legitimately don't know whether to consider this character male or female.

And that ambiguity is kinda... hot? What even is my brain.

If loving Nuriko is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I love Fushigi Yugi when I was a kid. I reread it and it was just not as good as I remembered it, but Nuriko was still awesome. I also had a little crush on her/him (don't quite remember what gender Nuriko ended up identifying as) and had some very confused feelings about that.

I at least had the advantage of being bisexual as fuck and knowing it by the time I actually got around to taking a look for myself, and in the years since I've only gotten more and more drawn to androgyny regardless of gender. Nuriko probably helped in that regard. (It's just a pity in this case the androgyny seems to stem more from questionable writing. But damn it, Nuriko has a permanent place in my heart anyway.)
