#Hi I'm Maiden

[maideninorange]

Hello there! I'm Maiden in Orange, but you may call me Maiden or Orange, I have no preference, and I go by she/her pronouns. I'm also aro-pan in case any of you were curious!

I'm a veteran fanfic writer of at least ten years now, but it is only fairly recently I actually decided to start posting stuff and getting social media accounts like here on Tumblr due to my bad anxiety. As a result, my body of work is... lacking, compared to some other writers of my level.

Right now, my works are mainly dedicated to angsty and horrific works about characters from funny danmaku games. No, not *that* one. The other one! You know, the one where nobody has a set gender! That one! Len'en Project! (Though I do really like Touhou too.) So you can probably expect to see my writing, headcanons, and messy worldbuilding for that once I figure out how Tumblr works from this side.

Besides my perpetual obsession with Len'en, I occasionally wander into other fandoms, though I mainly ramble about my OCs and the world they inhabit here. I dream of writing the world they live in one day, but alas, I'm too much of a fanfic writer right now to do anything more than occasional snippets and flinging them into other 'verses. Maybe one day...

What else...Oh yeah! Besides video games, I'm a nerd for any field of zoology, an occasional history nerd (and enjoyer of social sciences), and am teaching myself Japanese! (Not good enough to post translations yet, but I wanna be one day!) Oh, and I draw sometimes!

So yeah! That's all about me! Not too interesting beyond my penchant for rambling in the tags lol.

Here's my AO3 if any of you are interested in angsty Len'en fics!

Bingqiu AU where Luo Binghe's the chosen village sacrifice to the evil deity who lives up the mountain.

Normally the village sends maidens, but they've more or less run out of expendable girls of the right age and, ahem, "virtues". So of course Luo Binghe's early life bad luck kicks in. In the wake of his mother's death there's no one to really care about what happens to him, he's fairly pretty, and the village leaders decide that if they dress him up like a girl the teenaged homeless kid should pass well enough. And hey, y'know, he's probably got a hard life ahead for him anyway -- dying in a brothel of some venereal disease or on the streets of exposure or starvation. At least as a sacrifice, everyone else gets to benefit from his loss! And the kid will get added to a shrine and be remembered as a hero! If anything, he should be happy about this!

Binghe is not happy about this.

But he's also a skinny underfed nobody who is easily overpowered, dressed up like a bride, and tied to a post. So. Not much he can do but wait for the evil deity to come and do whatever horrible thing he's gonna do to him.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan is pretty sure he's been isekai'd into the over-powered hero of some kind of supernatural adventure story? He's not totally sure because he doesn't recognize the setting, but the signs are there. He's got a shrine-like base of operations (though it seems to have become corrupted/ruined, probably he has to restore it somehow), he has a very resilient and handsome new body with spiritual energy of some kind flowing through him, and a very clearly magical sword. Plus lots of neat starter powers! Though it feels like he has other abilities that have been blocked somehow? Probably he has to level up in order to access them.

When he treks out of his "base" and finds what seems to be a distressed maiden, he takes it for his beginner hero mission. The girl claims that she's been doomed to be sacrificed to an evil god. That sounds a little above Shen Yuan's pay grade for dealing with, so he unties her and decides that they had better just get out of the whole region altogether. He already packed up anything useful from his base, anticipating he might get caught up in an adventure once he left, so they follow the river away from the settlement until they reach another one.

While they travel, Luo Binghe tells Shen Yuan about the cursed deity, Shen Qingqiu, who was cast out of the heavens for slaughtering one of his brethren and has apparently being do-who-knows what to maidens from the local village in exchange for his "protection" ever since. Sounds like a real asshole! And also mid-level boss type bad guy at least. Shen Yuan hopes he doesn't have to fight him, but he probably will.

Thank goodness he found Binghe, though! Clearly the helpful little sister type! He's definitely going to require her assistance if he's going to figure out how to navigate this world and level up his skills enough to take on a god.

listen i love snufmin as much as the next fella but most people i've encountered who ship it are like "ooh! aah! snufkin is so cool and mysterious, he must be dangerous (but in like a sexy way) and knows all the ways to woo someone-"

listen. listen. if snorkmaiden is anything to go by, then moomin would canonically be the more experienced with relationships. i bet snufkin doesn't even know how to hold hands /hj

Finally decided to note down all the parallels between this trio. They really are just same character, different font.

like father, like son.

Xie Ju'an, from Jinling. Five years ago, he won three consecutive awards at the imperial examinations. When he entered the palace, he took the position of the Crown Prince's Junior Preceptor. He has been in court for four years and has made friends with the Ministry of Justice. The recent case of the rebels took a turn for the worse last night. Afterwards, you asked Mr. Chen to meet me.

I'm kind of heartbroken over the fact that luo bingmei is comfortable enough to cry in front of his shizun (even if 98% of the time its for show) but after shen jiu poured tea all over luo bingge he never cried again....

I am actually so thankful for Oshamir because it's reminded me that...yes, I actually DO love me my Corruption Ships. My Nice Girl and Evil Guy ships. It's been years since I've been able to enjoy them, though, because there was one giant piece of garbage writing taking prominence.

[grinchwrapsupreme]

for a show that's fundamentally about family it's weird that we've never heard even a passing mention of Pete White or Dr. Mrs. The Monarch's families. Like we saw Sheila's wedding and her family wasn't there, and you can't tell me Rose hasn't asked Pete about his mother at least once. We know more about Brock Samson's family than theirs. Hell we know more about Underbite's family than theirs

Summary:

His dad was sitting in the living room – Charles ignored the instinct screaming at him to move away from Edwin – with his head in his hands. His mum wasn’t visible. It shouldn’t have been strange. Charles had seen both of them alone, at times, though rarely now as age caught up with them. But he and Edwin had been in the business too long to ignore bad feelings. They exchanged a glance, Edwin’s eyebrows beginning to furrow, and then Charles’ dad shifted, and bright morning light caught on his red, red knuckles.

Or: Maybe Charles’ death was the wake-up call his dad needed to become a better man. Then again, maybe it wasn’t.

Imagine being Namari and listening to your workstie Toshiro, bright eyee and aflush with sincere emotion (and alcohol), confide in the most sincere and vulnerable voice you've ever heard from him, how he realized he liked your bosses' sister while she was holding a bug

Another random head canon (because I'm nowhere close to being back to normal):

During those 500 years, Xunfeng refers to Xiao Lanhua exclusively in variations of "sister" or "Moon Queen".

Particularly pointedly if in the presence of anyone from Shuiyuntian.
