7 and 15 for the mdzs/cql ask game
(from this ask game)
7. favorite popular fanon AU(s)?
Not sure if it's technically an AU if it's just filling in the unknowns of post-canon, but I like the Chengning timeline we've built and semi-canonized within the Library Pavilion Discord server haha. For a fic AU, a part of me is always thinking about Lynchpin by ShanaStoryteller
15. what's a canon scene you can't stop thinking about?
Besides every single Chengning interaction, a scene I think about a lot is in Episode 33 of CQL, where WWX is walking through the Cloud Recesses and seeing his younger with JC and JYL laughing and running down the walkways. Have never been able to get through that scene without crying.
Thanks for the ask!

for the fic commentary ask game: the scene in "dead boy" where hua cheng digs up his remains and burns them
adlkjg okay we are NOT looking at how long it's been since you sent this ANYWAY
The fun thing about this scene is that it's one of those places where I was waffling on basically the same questions as the POV character. I've seen different takes on when Hua Cheng forged the ring from his ashes, what he was doing in the 2 months after the 100 swords, how he came up with his name, etc., and I'm just...not quite sold on any of them (ironically but unsurprisingly, including my own versions I've noodled on). So while Hua Cheng is debating back and forth, trying to think of names, trying to decide who he is, I was also trying to answer those questions and not really coming up with anything I liked enough to commit to, which is part of why that scene ends without actually answering the questions—and honestly, it still feels right to me to embrace that uncertainty and in-the-process feel of Hua Cheng at that point.
also like. as i think everyone knows at this point, i have Feelings about Hua Cheng and self-worth, which I find particularly tasty to explore through his relationship with mortality, his short mortal life vs his eternal post-death afterlife, and the more...physical mechanisms of being a ghost

when the cardassian uprising started, damar and weyoun immediately made it as personal as possible
damar’s first move was to destroy the facility that could clone weyouns. weyoun’s new priority became destroying damar.
they’re obsessed with each other

mdzs for the ask game
asdfhjdkjs 💓 (this will be more untamed than mdzs)
in reference to this post
blorbo
Tumblr media
it's him! wei wuxian most Character of all time! i remember when i watched the untamed for the first time and it was like this dude abducted me, emotionally. rotating wei wuxian in my mind like a rotisserie chicken
scrunkly
Tumblr media
he is so Shaped and the shape is murder <3
none for scrimblo bimblo or glup shitto as im sorry but there are NO underappreciated characters in the untamed. every one of these dudes has had BOOKS of meta written about them. maybe that one guard who touched jiang cheng's tit? (also i can't believe you made me write the words "scrimblo bimblo" and "glup shitto")
poor little meow meow
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LITERALLY who else could it be. jiang cheng invented being pathetic and im convinced that jgy tumblr was partly responsible for the poor little meow meow meme becoming so popular
horse plinko
i can't find a decent gif but song lan, because he has too many traits that unfortunately remind me of myself (we are both boring bitches who pine) and it infuriates me
eeby deeby
i would send nieyao to eeby deeby together, as a date, hand in unlovable hand <3

nirvana in fire fandom!
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)
Xiao Jingyan. I love the Paladin Archetype, what can I say? And he's a really well executed example of that archetype.
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)
Probably either Fei Liu or Yan Yujin. Fei Liu is younger, but Yan Yujin has a bit more "I'm babey! :3c" going on with him.
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)
Xia Dong is great, and I love her. Like, the cast definitely needs more people who are that particular combination of ~badass and grieving, but I also think it's very important that there are characters who believe the Chiyan army rebelled who are actual reasonable and moral people. It's important that not everyone who believes it believes it because it benefits them, you know?
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)
I love so many side characters in this, it is so hard to choose, but choosing the semi-objective measure of who I've written fic about: Zhou Qingyao. Gotta love ~~moral people who get suckered into doing evil "For The Greater Good"
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)
Xiao Jinghuan Did Nothing Wrong
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)
Xiao Jingyan is just so fun to whump! He's so stoic, and made 90% of Duty. It's great.
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)
XIAO XUAN

for the fic commentary ask game:
this passage from "to be ungentle"
"That is... impressive," he says, as Qin Su strides forward to collect the knives. When she turns around, he's staring at her with that same wide-eyed look again. She thinks it might be awe. "You should not be known only as Lianfeng-Zun's wife."
Keeping out of sight keeps you from being targeted , A-Yao's voice echoes in her head. I want you to be safe. "I have not had great need to show what I can do before," she says. "And I should be grateful for it."
"Are you?"
Qin Su is not unaware of the talk in Jinlintai, in the streets. She is known more for the tragedy that has befallen her rather than for who she is. Lanling's expectations and ideals have set her into a mold, pushed her into a pre-drawn image.
Sometimes, just sometimes, she feels like breaking it.
But she chose this life. She grew up hearing every rumor about the Lanling Jin sect, and she held her head high and walked into it regardless. For A-Yao. "Yes," she says, and swallows the whispers of bitter words rising in her throat.
"You are wed to one of the most powerful men in the world. It would not be out of place for you to show yourself as more than what others think." There is a challenge in Jiang Wanyin's eyes. Perhaps one day, in some far off future, Qin Su might accept it.
(from this ask game)
Ooooh, this is a fun one!
Firstly, if I recall correctly, I don't think most of this passage was in my initial draft. I decided I wanted to say a little more about Qin Su before moving on, so I added this in. I also wanted to add in some more slightly sinister hints about Jin Guangyao without Qin Su recognizing them, it's part of her character's tragedy.
The context is that Qin Su is visiting Jiang Cheng with a young Jin Ling in Lotus Pier, where they can speak more freely without prying eyes and ears. They have a pretty good relationship; Qin Su feels she can be more honest to Jiang Cheng than a lot of other people, and Jiang Cheng is both supportive and protective and a little bit in love but he doesn't know that.
This snippet here is where lines in societal and gender roles are drawn. Qin Su has just shown an extraordinary skill with knives, and Jiang Cheng doesn't think she should be keeping that talent hidden. But for Qin Su, as a woman and particularly one with Lanling's prejudices, being quiet and gentle means you go unnoticed, and unchallenged. Her greatest advantage to staying alive is to be gracious and gentle but otherwise invisible to the stronger men of Jinlintai. While for Jiang Cheng, it's always been the opposite, he's forever had to show all the strength he has to prove he's powerful enough to lead a sect. To fight a war, to be taken seriously. (Women in Yunmeng Jiang have also never shied away from fighting. See: Yu Ziyuan, Yinzhu and Jinzhu.) Jiang Cheng is good to Qin Su, but he can't see exactly from her perspective.
And here that's a good thing! Because Qin Su at this point is known for her dead son, and her husband always has Lan Xichen other people to be with. Yet here Jiang Cheng is, not only someone who actually shows her kindness and attention, but he firmly believes Qin Su can go beyond the place she's stuck in and with complete earnesty. He's pretty much asking her "Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just wanna go apeshit?" but in a way befitting of Sect Leader Jiang.
And yes, Qin Su probably would not mind that! But at the same time, she knows that going to Jinlintai was her choice. If she breaks her image and reputation, all the criticism will land on her shoulders and no one else's. The Jianghu is a gossip mill and she'll be crushed in its cogs. She doesn't entire set down Jiang Cheng's opinion of her though, and what he's asking. More like it's tabled for a later date. To Be Ungentle was supposed to be the first of three scenes, but even on its own I wanted it to still be hopeful.
Thanks for the ask!

hi rino! i would love to hear more about chengsu with jin ling moments and/or the mermaid au if you want :)
ahhhh hello lovely! thank u for asking this ahhh i love to talk about my babies
the chengsu fics really are just tiny soft moments for now, but since ive got into sprinting recently i might try and bash at least one of them out at some point soon since i know exactly what happens in them both.
so, one fic is of qin su going to find jiang cheng after noticing him get upset at some conference somewhere, and then thinking about how jiang cheng treats jin ling when he thinks no one is looking, and hoping that he will one day treat a-song the same way (ok maybe it was not all soft oops)
and the other is qin su accidentally unloading onto jiang cheng about all her fears (and some not fears, more understanding and wanting to be happy for them) regarding jgy and lxc, so its not really explicitly relationship chengsu but i just like it when they are friends so. and im usually not big on cheating and all that but also theyre. theyre like. jin guangyao is her um. anyway. i dont know! its difficult to know where i stand but anyway, chengsu,
...you get it.
the mermaid au is! an idea that i really like but am also quite very stuck on unfortunately. its half au, half canon divergence in which handwave handwave it diverges off of ep 31 but somehow the previous events have all happened without the lans because they uh. [busted voice] they live underwater.
so, wei wuxian is captured and forced to live underwater with them so that he cant speak and therefore make any music, while hes put on trial for the whole shebang of ep 31 (except jin zixuan didnt die because im a soft hearted bitch) at first lan wangji seems is unmoved by wwx's whole existence and all but as time goes on he starts to realise that wwx isnt the villain as he has been led to believe, and that he has a family that needs saving because the burial mounds is currently under siege and oh-no-what-happens-next-will-shock-you they fall in love and stuff
lil snippets of the fics under the cut if u are interested in that!
chengsu:
She finds him - where else - by the lotus pond. Jin Ling is there, three years old now, and splashing around as if making waves will turn it into a Yunmeng lake.
Jiang Cheng is watching, tense and upset, the sort of face she's seen him make with Jin Ling thrown over his shoulder because he won't stop wailing and he refuses to sleep. But this isn't about that - obviously. She's been at the conference, just as the others have - even since her marriage is so different to the way she envisioned it - A-Yao asked for her support and her presence, and she gives both willingly. She'd been at the conference, therefore, when conversation had turned to grievances of old. When Sect Leader Jin had seen fit to publically mourn his son, and daughter-in-law, and nephew, and fill the hall with cries of hatred for their murderers.
Eyes are drawn to the loudest in the room at this point, such is always the case, but Qin Su finds her eyes on the quietest. On the closed-lipped, trembling-handed anger - no, not anger - betrayal - no, nor that -
Grief.
mermaids (the snippet could be considered pretty heavy, and kind of graphic about drowning, so be careful if that bothers you!):
The water is heavy.
The water is heavy, and suffocating.
The water is heavy, and suffocating, and drowning is what he deserves.
They never wanted him to breathe down here, to survive the spell - curse, more like, that they pretended to put on him to allow him to live underwater. This was all a ruse. He knows it. His lungs are folding in on themselves under the weight of the water, and any second now they'll be crushed completely.
He can still feel the blood seeping out from the gashes on his chest, dissipating into the water behind him, the spelled blades that sank through his ribs not allowing for the blood to stop flowing so easily.
There was pain, too, but oh, how easily he ignored it. Compared to what else he's felt, this means nothing, it is nothing. He is stronger, better, above everything that they throw at him, and when he dies in this water he will become the resent and control it from the inside, and he will watch over his family at the Burial Mounds and he will have his revenge on those who -
He is still half resent. Can't push it out of himself, think without it, rise above it. Does it matter? Perhaps not, but he would like to think he could return to himself now, climb back up onto the edge he jumped off when faced with Jin Zixun - only it seemed to have snapped something inside him, and the resentful energy flows thicker than blood, waning only for small snatches before returning in full force.
With these thoughts to distract him, he hasn't noticed that he's still alive. Beneath the lake, ankles weighed down with those engraved stones, ribs still flowing over with blood - only they're not, anymore.
He's alive, no longer breathing, no longer bleeding. His hands, when he looks down, are colourless and icy cold, and the water filling his mouth no longer feels unwelcome.
Is he alive? He can't be.
Cursed, is what he is. Neither alive nor dead, neither resent nor golden energy, neither human nor creature of the deep.
He exists, but as an affront to nature. And voiceless.
Voiceless. Powerless.
Trapped.

hello!! :)
The residents of Cloud Recesses knew not to stare impolitely. This did not stop a few lingering eyes when Lan Wangji made his way home, his left hand carrying both Bichen and a sword that was equally recognisable. No doubt word of his plans had spread — every senior of the sect would have to make up for their absence, so had been told in detail — and the rule against gossip appeared to be more loosely interpreted these days.

five characters meme: 14 for shi qingxuan, lan jingyi, hua cheng, wen ning, ling wen
14: Leave in charge of my home while I’m away
akjflhg oh my god
5. Hua Cheng — look. I love him but he would not take care of anything. I would come home to all my plants dead, my neighbors TERRIFIED, and him scoffing at my art. I don't need that.
4. Shi Qingxuan — I love them but I am skeptical about a spoiled young master-cum-god having a good sense of like. taking care of other ppl's things and cleaning house. DEFINITELY would drink my wine but would replace it with something nicer. Definitely would NOT take care of my plants and I would cry.
3. Lan Jingyi — Honestly, I feel like he'd be fine. He might forget to take care of the plants or break something but I feel like he's kinda a package deal with Sizhui, who would likely think abt those things. Worst case scenario he and the juniors would drink my wine and get kidnapped. Which is bad (the kidnapping) but like. They'd get out of it. it'd be fine.
2. Ling Wen — I feel like Ling Wen would mostly be totally fine and my house is neat and simple enough to not add much stress to her life. On the downside: potential giant mess when I come back and also risk of murderous plots. 100% would not water the plants.
1. Wen Ning — I think Wen Ning would become friends with my landlady's tiny chihuahua and honestly I just really want Wen Ning to get to love and be loved by a tiny little wriggling bundle of affection. Also mostly think he would remember to check on my plants.
Give me 5 characters and a number, and I will put them in preference order for that situation

i've always wondered where your blog title is from, and now i've found out and i am not okay lol
Hi Emilu! Hahaha oh my gosh, this ask totally made my day. I'm always enthused when someone recognizes or figures out my blog title. 😂I absolutely love angst, so that moment in the novel definitely was one of the scenes that stuck with me the most. 😭I'm assuming you're reading 2ha, and I hope you're enjoying it!! Much more fun to come in the chapters following. 💜
I hope you're doing well!
