thinking about teenaged Huaisang teasing Meng Yao about his crush on Xichen while Meng Yao helps him with his hair and blushes demurely like a Jane Austen heroine

I cannot stress enough how MINOR of a petpeeve this is and how this is an interpretation that i'm comfortable with other people having even if i personally do not but I've noticed in a lot of 3zun fics, if jgy is holding smth back- generally his own feelings because his natural reaction to conflict is to make it Go Away and so if his emotional needs are the potential source conflict he will simply Not Look At Them.- That between nielan Xichen is the one who's worried and presses for comunication and Mingjue is like "Meng Yao is an adult if there was a problem he'd say so."

And I get why this is done, because nieyao's communication is generally atrocious and Xichen is the Gentle One who'd want to make sure a-yao is okay. So I get it. But. Canonically. The person going "I know a-yao, we trust each other, I don't need to ask him, he'll tell me on his own terms." is Lan Xichen and the one going "If Meng Yao doesn't want me to know something he WILL hide it from me and i'll have no idea because he's just that good at lying" is Nie Mingjue. And in a healthier nieyao dynamic, as these fics work under, that knowledge would not lead to automatic distrust but rather a desire to check in, to go: please remember that I value your honesty more than whatever you think you would burden me with by telling me what's going on.

Xichen also wants honesty and open communication ofc but his reaction to conflict is also to make it go away as fast as possible and he feels like saying it constantly feels accusatory so he wouldn't. If he asks if something is ok and a-yao smiles and goes of course er-ge checking again if it's really okay would be implying he was lying the first time!! He's showing his trust in him!! This is really refreshing if you're constantly assumed to be untrustworthy and meng yao appreciates it so much and it works really well 95% of the time but when it doesn't? Oh boy.

Sorry about your laptop 😭 again 😭

Ok for the ask game! Suyao’s first meeting, since it’s only referenced in the text and we don’t get to see it 👀

As Su Minshan was leaving the night hunt, he couldn't help but feel bitter and resentful. Even though he himself had performed quite decently compared to other participants, only a couple of his disciples had managed to score a kill at all, bringing the sect's total down to truly abysmal numbers. And he couldn't even blame them for that; as the founder of a minor sect with no name in the cultivation world he had no promising young talents banging on his doors begging to be let in, and the handful of boys and girls he'd picked from various little towns around Moling during the war couldn't possibly compare to the disciples of well-established sects with years of training under their belts.

It was with these thoughts weighing heavily on his mind that he ran into someone. The man was dressed in a plain Jin disciple uniform, with only the vermillion dot on his brow vaguely marking him as someone of importance, and currently in the middle of arranging clean up.

As Su Minshan mumbled an apology, still preoccupied with his own thoughts, the man's placid smile turned a touch warmer.

"No need to feel bad about your disciples' showing, Sect Leader Su," he said encouragingly. "Quite a few of them showed a lot of potential tonight, with a few more years' training they'll surely become fine cultivators rivaling those of the four great sects. Sect Leader Su has quite an eye for talent."

Su Minshan blinked and bowed to the stranger, thanking him for the kind words, and it was only after the man bowed in return and left, followed by a group of Jin servants, that it finally hit him.

The venerable Lianfang-zun of the Jin sect, the war hero Jin Guangyao who had single-handedly slain Wen Ruohan, had just praised him in full view of assorted cultivators from multiple well-established sects.

Nieyao brainworms alive and well. If anyone was wondering

[little-meowyao]

I really enjoy throwing some random guy with no significant connections to either NMJ or LXC into 3zun.

[tragcdysewn]

closed starter for jin guangyao!! ( @masqce )

"guangyao." zixuan calls, sure the man he'd seen across the room is his brother. "it's good to see you." he starts, determined to have a pleasant conversation with the younger man. "are you having a good time?"

[coreofgold]

@masqce for Jin Guangyao

At first, Xichen didn't see Jin Guangyao. Xichen was just in his own little world, swaying to the music and sipping his ginger ale. "Lovely ball, isn't it?" He asks to whoever was next to him. "Especially in a place where one can explore and learn at the same time."

[theintoccabile]

I stan a lot of villains but I’ve possibly never been so of two completely different minds about a villain like JGY and it’s wild

I remain fascinated by the irony that the cut off point for me was when he killed his nasty father literally everyone in the fandom wanted to painfully die

Like JGY before that? Neat if infuriating, compelling to read about, will devour any fic exploring what could have been

JGY after that? uhhh what the fuck what the fuck go away how dare you you are literally exactly like your father??? like wtf would your mom say about this dude? you literally used those women like objects and then got rid of them?? OKAY. okay. will literally read no fic about him after this point anymore lmao

idk I think my interests are wild sometimes. also occasionally I will read people defending him and I’m like, “yeah I agree almost everyone else was awful too and let’s be real most of them would have also been quick to murder anyone disrespecting their mom like that. I would have but also... but also he went off the deep end and had to go down sorry bye. and it’s extra disappointing he’d use sex workers as mere disposable tools for his revenge while (rightly) building his mom a whole fucking temple“

do I have a point??? no but thoughts.

[mostlikelytofangirl]

Screaming crying banging my head on the wall. I am totally normal and not at all insane about this

I'm fucking SCREAMING ARE YOU SHITTING ME

ASDFGHJSDFGH

They are unreal. They are doing this on purpose, look at them!! They are RIDICULOUS OMG

How aren't more ppl going insane over this??? We talking about the psychopathic megalomaniac who was literally going to burn the world down... and he's being LIKE THIS to a cute little random guy who no one takes seriously but is just that good at what he does --and what he does is being charming af!!

AND IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE

[irresistiibles]

@masqce / jin ling & jin guangyao

“Uncle. Or Guangyao. I don't know if you still don't know who I am.” Jin Ling was nervous. He didn't want to say scared. He hadn't been scared of Guangyao before, even after he'd been held hostage and the man later went on to say he didn't know who Jin Ling was (something he still couldn't confirm or deny) the largest part of him had just been relieved to see the man alive again. Even now he was happy to have both of the people who raised him alive, but he kept a little more distance, shoulders hunched defensively even as he tried to relax. "...it's good to see you again." It was. Jin Ling was sure that it was, and as long as he insisted that to himself he wouldn't get overwhelmed or scared or frustrated and start crying, no matter how easy that would be to do right now. "I- you didn't kill me on purpose right?" The question just feel from him, completely devoid of tact, but he had to ask. It had been sitting with him since he remembered everything. "I know there was magic involved, or that's what everyone said. You wouldn't right?" It wasn't entirely cohesive, the way he was speaking, but he couldn't possibly try to reign himself in and make it better.

Love having to read a post about how "JGY could've solved The NMJ Problem by [doing thing that was not even remotely the root of the issue and would've been a band-aid on a ruptured spleen at best]" with mine own eyes on this fine afternoon. Just.

[lcngliive]

jiang cheng & jin guangyao ( @masqce )

“you,” jiang cheng spat, his voice full of venom at the sight of the other man. “you should have stayed dead,” he didn’t mind the other people who were alive again, but him? he would have hoped he had stayed dead, and not causing trouble.

[lavendaers]

@masqce continued from here

it didn't make any sense to xue yang, someone just helping him to help it. "usually when people help others, they don't really do it out of the kindness of their hearts. at least, not in my experience." he admitted, glancing away from the other. "so are you helping me because you're just genuinely kind or because you want something from me?" he questioned as he turned back towards him slowly, his brows rising as he did so. "you never know, maybe they'll never return. i don't mind if they don't. i'm doing just fine without them."
