Summary
(please note that this essay was originally published on tumblr in 2025 and was written to be understood by an audience who had never heard of dream of the red chamber!)
last year, i was introduced to a novel and immediately became obsessed with it. from literally the first chapters i smelled something queer was afoot with its protagonist, and as i read on i began to realise that he was not only queercoded but perhaps the most trans character i have ever read who is not textually transgender. for over a year i have been, on and (very much mostly) off, putting together my manifesto for this theory, and finally my work is done (at over 10k words).
so without further ado, i present to you my thesis that jia baoyu from dream of the red chamber is trans. fair warning: this will be long as fuck. maybe grab a snack or something before you start.

Dream has retired. He wears glasses and knits now. He begins to try to think of life - especially his own - as something beyond a story.

Summary
“Hey, Mila,” Viktor looked up at her, bleary-eyed. “You don’t know any theoretical physicists, do you?”
“…No?” She replied hesitantly.
Yakov had seen enough. “What the hell are you doing?!” He stormed, rounding the table.
Oh no, he thought when he saw the video. His stomach sank a little. It was that Japanese skater, Katsuki. The dark horse who had just demolished the competition at Skate America.
Yuuri and Viktor find themselves years in the past, right at the start of the fateful season where they first met. Now, if only they could figure out whether they’ve come back alone.

Summary
"Where am I?" Yuuri demands once he's able, enunciating as best he can, although the syllables are still rough. "Where's Viktor?"
The doctor sighs heavily. "You're the same place you'll always be, Tsvetok Yuuri. Now, do not lie to me: did you do this to yourself? Was this a bid for attention?"
Tsvetok?
Yuuri shakes his head. His heartbeat thumps in his ears.
"For your sake, and for your attendant's sake, I hope so. Our lord may not have much time for his garden, and I understand that your rank means you see him even less, but listen to me well: stunts like this will not impress, nor give you the attention you seek."

Summary
In seven years of coaching, Viktor would have never dreamed that Yuuri would be forced to defend his Olympic title while a global pandemic and a doping scandal are haunting the figure skating world—least of all that he would do so injured. The Winter Games are barely over when an even greater calamity disrupts their perfect little sphere and forces Viktor to decide where his allegiance lies. As Yuuri prepares for the final competition of his life, Viktor thus returns to the place he has not set foot in since he hung up his skates: Russia.
This story is my way of processing the events of the 2022 Beijing Olympics and the weeks after leading up to the World Championships in Montpellier.
