whose pov of MDZS is funnier: Jin "my crazy gay uncle turned out to be my OTHER crazy gay uncle" Ling or Lan "thought my dad got seduced by a rando twink but it's just my other dad" Sizhui
Aventurine would take Ratio's last name and be incredibly fucking annoying about it. "i'm MR RATIO perhaps you've heard of my husband the genius DR RATIO???"
i think it's so funny that for like half of MDZS the juniors thought Wei Wuxian was just this cool demonic cultivator they met and Sizhui's dad wanted to fuck
HUA CHENG: Gege...would you be disgusted...if you saw my real form...
HUA CHENG'S REAL FORM: 6'2", long dark hair, sexy eyepatch, impeccable fashion sense, rich as fuck, flawless manicure, fangies
XIE LIAN: .........no
idk my opinion as always is if someone thinks yaoi is fetishizing or whatever they should watch some gay pron made by gay dudes for gay dudes and witness some true depravity
ppl say Lan Wangji dealt with his grief for Wei Wuxian in an unhealthy way and i just? disagree? i think he dealt with his pain in the best way that he could. sure, he never would've loved another person again, but he dealt with his sorrow by upholding WWX's ideals and memory-
there's a special type of dramatic irony found only in fanfiction, wherein the author relies on their audience's knowledge of the source material to raise tension like an ancient Greek playwright relied on their audience's knowledge of mythology
BAI ZHAN PEAK DISCIPLE, STANDING ON TOP OF TREE, YELLING: your peak ain't shit!!!!
NING YINGYING, ALSO ON TREE, ALSO YELLING: come tell that to our faces, aholes!!!!
> Binghe: insane but he's going to therapy, he's doing CBT, he's doing his best, ok
> Hua Cheng: insane but Xie Lian is into it so he doesn't come across as insane until you think about it
> Lan Wangji: insane but years of repression has made him an expert in hiding it
Hua Cheng, looking at himself in the mirror, carefully adjusting his mask, double checking his contour and mascara, applying lipstick: DONT fuck this one up, Hua Cheng. this is the Big Moment. the first step of the 50000 step plan to marry Dianxia
"what does it mean when omegas nest tho?" i ask myself, in my bed with 7 blankets, 4 pillows, and my multitude of stuffed animals, sweatshirts, sweaters + a bathrobe
is Shang Qinghua a powerful cultivator? no. is he a devastating beauty? also no. but he does have one advantage, and that advantage is the ability to do math
by helping the common people, teaching the juniors not to be judgmental, and raising Sizhui with the love and care him and WWX were denied as children. he was clearly out in the world, perhaps melancholy but still participating instead of going into seclusion like his dad did
LUO BINGHE: my Shizun is a peerless immortal, versed in every aspect of heaven and earth
HUA CHENG: Dianxia is a martial god of unlimited power and perseverance, capable of besting anyone in the art of the sword
LAN WANGJI: i found Wei Ying on the side of the road. i love him.
imagine you think you're rebelling by hanging out with this Bad Boy Demonic Cultivator who none-the-less mentors, teaches, and protects you (and is also fucking Sizhui's dad) but then it turns out to be the cultivation world's boogeyman
Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang being half brothers but none-the-less loving each other fiercely is actually an interesting foil to the various Jin offspring being alienated from one another 🤔
Weak Jin Guangshan: cheats on his wife, serial abuser, doesn’t care for his kids to disastrous consequences, inglorious end
Superior Nie Papa: his two wives lived in apparent harmony, raised 2 sons that loved each other fiercely, cinematic d3ath
LAN WANGJI: calm, resolute, unwavering. No matter what happens, he is there and he is Dad.
WEI WUXIAN: Life Lesson Dad disguised as Fun Dad. 3 am ice cream run turns into a long discussion about philosophy and the future and now you’re crying for some reason???
HUA CHENG: in many ways a fun dad, but you also are suspicious about his vague job description
XIE LIAN: he’d watch his child eat some dirt and go “eh, they’ll probably be fine”
i love moshang because you know Mobei Jun is into the pretty bog-standard "rough sex with cuddling afterwards," typical brooding demon boyfriend stuff, meanwhile Shang Qinghua has spun an elaborate Conquerer/War Prize au rp, 500k, enemies-to-lovers--
the relationship between the translator and the author they're translating is endlessly interesting to me. for instance, i'm pretty sure Rynn wants to fight Meatbun in single combat
when omegaverse goes Hollywood/English-language mainstream, it'll be through an adaptation of a heterosexual kindle exclusive that inexplicably gets ultra popular. alpha man/omega woman. no fun exploration of gender and sex :(
contemplating how in the grand scheme of things it's really wild that the fanfic to trad pub book pipeline rly only took off with the most heterosexual of popular fics
At first brush, Lan Wangji taking down all those nets looks like him being Honorable and Righteous, but in hindsight it was really a chance for him to be a dick to Jiang Cheng
Ratiorine au wherein Aventurine is an influencer/vlogger with a mysterious never shown partner. the only thing Aventurine says is that he teaches math. everyone thinks hes probably boring. then, boyfriend reveal video...
LUO BINGHE: you WILL be getting the childhood he never had. Overly involved. Judges your friends. Bake sale god.
SHEN QINGQIU: it’s canon that he’s the pampering, overly indulgent, spoiling type. All of your electronics are state of the art. Wish he’d stop pinching your cheeks
Shen Yuan is a Gamer who is known for ranting about media and books on his streams in a hilariously catty manner, but immediately becoming Soft Boy when his male model boyfriend comes in to give him snacks
Shang Qinghua: sits somewhere that is not Mobei Jun's lap
Mobei Jun: the fuck??????????? is this??????????? Qinghua...hates me? he hates Mobei Jun???????????? this is Absolutely Unacceptable--
@oikilluas
There's something deeply horrifying about Sakura and Sasuke's entire relationship. Like shipping aside it should not exist for so many reasons.
actually, modern au where rich city boy Jin Zixuan goes to his fiancee's family's farm and gets put through torturous manual labor by Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying
LWJ TO THE JUNIORS: I’m taking down these nets because they are unsporting and violate the spirit of the night hunt
LWJ INTERNALLY: fuck you Jiang Cheng
MO RAN: fun dad fun dad fun dad! All your friends have a crush on him.
CHU WANNING: deeply concerned about your grades, are you eating enough? He’ll awkwardly hold your hand through all of life’s hardships
BINGHE STANS: look at my handsome hardworking boy! he's so good and sweet and beautiful! love my protagonist!
SHEN YUAN STANS: look at this fucking loser weeb who never left the house and played dating sims all day
The problem is that a lot of people don’t know what “critical reading” means in an academic context. It’s a lot more complicated than just “reading something and trying to figure out what’s wrong with it.”
ME: man sometimes i wonder how Shen Jiu got away with half the shit he did for so long...yeah he was sneaky but not that sneaky
Donghua SQQ: [exists]
ME: that explains it
MOBEI JUN: marriage mellowed him out. Gives you food instead of apologizing. Living jungle gym for his children.
SHANG QINGHUA: never stops worrying. Secretly runs the PTA. You worry about his stress levels.
YAN WUSHI: prank dad. Will eat your Halloween candy and call it Dad Tax. “If they’re going to do it I’d rather they do it in the house.”
SHEN QIAO: sometimes you wonder what he sees in your other dad.
omegaverse but lion pride dynamics...omegas pool their resources together and work while the alpha takes care of kids, knocks the omegas up, and beats up intruders
nerdy librarian Shen Qingqiu cannot figure out why this sharply dressed gangster keeps showing up. Luo Binghe just wants to show the librarian who helped him with schoolwork how much he's grown.
