i'm hopeful he'll return to india and persia at some point too, was surprised he didn't because i mean there's a bit of a subgenre for that in yaoi (exotic, dark skinned seme with quasi-indian-ish or middle-eastern-ish fashion) so i think they'd be popular in japan if given a bit more fleshing out and some interactions with others. i liked india's friendship with prussia, but i don't think india stands out enough or rather i have difficulty imagining in in various situations aside from wanting to share dance with people which... is kind of a service-y trait, it doesn't fill in much about his personality or motivations.

yeahhhh i feel like fandom kind of overcompensated in trying to correct the past where people would slap strangers with "yaoi paddles" at cons or make rape jokes constantly. but now we've got the opposite problem and it seems actually a lot worse than the former problem; or at least much, much more pervasive. i find it extremely difficult to avoid the sjw thought police in most fandoms, whereas it wasn't that difficult to avoid the obnoxious fans of yesteryear. and the yaoi paddles type at least never doxxed people.
