@mythmoor​ asked   :    👑 Yanluo Wang >:^)   -   SEND ME 👑 + A CHARACTER NAME OF A CHARACTER YOU THINK I SHOULD WRITE !
WOULD I: YES / MAYBE / NO (probs nah, religions are weird man)
HAVE I EVER BEFORE: YES / NO
ICON & WRITING SAMPLE (IF YES TO EITHER PREV. QUESTION - ):
Tumblr media
Technically it was “No” to both previous questions BUT I would like to take a moment to say that I’m the FC Queen Young and Sweet and if anyone ever wants to steal my FC ideas, my thoughts were Zhang Zhen, as styled in Red Cliff as Sun Quan would be a good aesthetic.
And then I would like to take a second moment to address why I am personally uncomfortable rp-ing a figure from Real Chinese Mythos. Obvi, everyone else, you do you, these are just personal scruples, and here goes. Mun is of the Buddhist/Taoist mix religion that’s been pretty widespread over Asia for a lot of history, and while not heavily religious and religion doesn’t factor greatly into my life (i.e. I don’t necessarily practice), I believe in these gods, or at least I would like to err on the side of believing in them. While China and other countries in Asia tend to blur this line themselves in their media, mythos is still undeniably a religious aspect of culture, and there are practices where before someone embarks on a fictionalization of a deity, they will offer prayers and offerings, etc. to make sure they’re okay and they’re not offending those gods. 
I’m ok with playing fictionalized portrayals of these mythos figures based in other established media (my three lives three worlds muses’ portrayals are strictly based in their canon, yes, with some mythological influence, but mostly their canon), but playing them only based off their role in mythology feels like, to me at least, the equivalent of saying “I’m going to be playing Jesus, from the Bible,” and just sounds a little...off? And makes me think I might get smote by lightning. Hence why I’m not Exactly Comfortable Doing it. Obviously, you’re all allowed to do whatever you want and I love you all for it, this is just my 2 cents on why I won’t be playing any actual mythological muses on this blog.
