Which is better, fixed-focus lens 50 or 85?

People with a 50mm fixed-focus lens are better. 50mm has a certain blurring effect, unlike 35mm, which needs to be close to achieve a satisfactory blurring effect. 50mm portrait shooting has certain scene narrative ability. For example, 85mm is a bit narrow, especially for indoor 85mm, most of them can only take busts or headshots, and rarely can they take pictures of the environment.

50mm perspective is more natural, there is no tension in 35mm, there is no spatial compression in 85 mm, 50mm looks as plain as water as human eyes see, and there is no "emotion" given to the photo from perspective. Of course, some friends here say that photos are easy to have no features, which is a common problem.
