okay all this album is doing for me is making me want to write a 50k fic about 70s-era monaco where jin guangyao is hustling as a croupier, moonlighting as a discreet gentleman's escort, and sending money back to his mom
the fic ends up being a lovesong to how both jobs are goddamn difficult, an exploration of queer subculture during the 1970s, there's a killer soundtrack, and jin guangyao wears platforms to try and cover how small he is and it doesn't work.
i don't think we all appreciate fully how good lan xichen would look in, like, Biba-style fashion, and how much he would need to be taken there and dressed up by jin guangyao in order to realise that
(YES I KNOW BIBA WAS IN LONDON, BUT LISTEN: the image of lan xichen increasingly nervous in a store full of fashion For the Youth of Today as jin guangyao is flipping through the racks rapidly and collecting.....a lot of colour.....there's.....oh no a-yao i don't.....a-yao -)
men's fashion of the 70s, with the wide lapels and deep necklines and high waists and boots and flares to elongate legs was basically was made for his body type. so i'm right. i am valid. SEND TWEET
there's a scene in the freddie mercury biopic set in biba where his girlfriend of the time dresses him up and he looks at himself and you see him view himself as desirable and that being a shock and that's the vibe i'm feeling here
