You know, I have a lot to say about Untamed Canon, but they really did get it right with Song Lan's character introduction. Just him and Xingchen gazing longingly at each other while holding Xue Yang at knife point. 10/10 peak character introduction.

original
if someone else has done this i'm really sorry, i didn't see it because i live under a rock LMAO
if you're gonna tag this as a ship please only do so with songxiao 🙏
ID in alt and also under cut for those curious!
[ID: A MDZS comic using dialogue from a Tumblr post. First, Xiao Xingchen looks upset and cries a bloody tear as he asks, "AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a corpse and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?"
Second, fierce corpse Song Lan asks worriedly, "AITA if i've been dead for a while but haven't told my best friend yet because he doesn't seem to have realized i'm a corpse and if he does i'm worried that he'll finally be able to accept it and let me go and i can't bear the thought of losing him?"
Finally, Xue Yang eats street food and says flatly, "AITA for killing that guy." End ID]

Fic Finder
~*~
1. olă, primeiramente eu gastaria de parabenizar o trabalho de vocês, eu gosto muito do blog e das postagens 😊
Eu estou procurando uma thread no Twitter, não me lembro muito da história, só algumas partes, mas eu lembro que o lan zhan estava apaixonado pelo wei wuxian e estavam juntos mas ele acreditava que o wei não sentia o mesmo por ele, por isso o lan se afastou do Wei, e após 13 anos o lan zhan se reincontra com o wei, com o lan sendo professor de musica do filho do Wel, e arrependido ele tenta reconsquitalo novamente.
Eu também me lembro que o lan xichen era o único que sabia onde o lan zhan estava, mas não passou o número para o wei.
Eu tentei achar a thread mas não consegui, gostaria que vocês me ajuda-se. Obrigado 😊 @silvanagomes87
(Google translated, let me know if any of it is wrong! - Mod C:
hello, first I would like to congratulate your work, I really like the blog and the posts 😊
I'm looking for a thread on Twitter, I don't remember much of the story, just some parts, but I remember that lan zhan was in love with wei wuxian and they were together but he believed that wei didn't feel the same way about him, that's why the lan moved away from Wei, and after 13 years lan zhan reunites with wei, with lan being Wel's son's music teacher, and regretful he tries to win him back again.
I also remember that lan xichen was the only one who knew where lan zhan was, but he didn't give the number to wei.
I tried to find the thread but I couldn't, I would like you to help me. Thanks 😊)

~*~
2. I’m looking for a modern cultivation AU where LWJ needs to question a vampire so he goes to a shady club where humans go to get fed on. He finds WWX. I think someone also posted an AU where Wei Wuxian and he are hunting the same beastie, that traps you in an image of your home. WWX can’t be caught because he doesn’t have a home, so he pulls LWJ out of it the first time. Eventually the Lan reset their wards and accidentally revoke WWX’s invitation. WWX gets caught because Jingshi had become home @any-mouse​
FOUND! hear the monsters calling home by sundiscus (M, 8k, WangXian, Modern AU, Vampires, Misunderstandings, Angst with a Happy Ending, Modern Cultivation, blood drinking (romantic), cross-posted threadfic)
SIMILAR! Chapter 3 of in any universe, you by sundiscus (T, 12k, WangXian, other characters noted per story, multiple AUs, summary and tags specified in each chapter!)
~*~
3. Hi, I'm searching for a fic, and it might be difficult to find. I think I found it from one of the recs here, but a long time ago... All I remember is that LWJ was living with WWX in the Burial Mounds, and i think there were kids/disciples? And what I remember most is LWJ liking to look pretty, wearing more ornaments, not sure about make-up, but it was definetely against the Cloud Recesses' rules, and the other Lans got pissy when they saw him... Please help? <3 @yumehbby
FOUND! Unpack your heart by Terri Botta (Isilwath) (T, 22k, wangxian, 1st in series, canon divergenec, romance, everyone lives au, LWJ stays at Burial Mounds, not lan elder friendly)

~*~
4. Hi!! There is this fic I want to reread, it's post canon 5+1 ish (???) fic but I remember only one scene, which is in some female lan disciple's pov where she joined wangxian with other lan disciples on a nighthunt (and she was very happy to join cuz nighthunt with wangxian = good learning experience), it goes well but wwx gets some scraps on his hands (I think) and when it was all done and they were going to rest she sees how lwj kisses wwx's fingers, wwx swoons, the female lan disciples gets flustered over how sweetly in love wx are and wishes she would get a partner that would care for her the same way (or just wishes to find a love like that idk)
~*~
5. Does anyone know about this fic in cql post canon where nhs gets wind of how wwx is traveling the jianghu, gets incredulous over why he isn't already married to lwj, gets mad at lwj for leaving wwx alone, then adopts wwx into the ginghe nie sect. It's kinda like that fic where Jin Ling adopts his dajiu into the Jin sect after he found him half dead in some inn in the Lanling territory, but with nhs basically. There also was scene where jc gets salty about wwx joining the nie's during conference in qinghe and before nhs could interfere lwj comes to the rescue and he and wwx clear out all misunderstandings. Thanks for your hard work!

6. Hi!!! I hope you are all doing good! I need some help about finding this fix. LWJ is cursed to kill any demonic cultivator. When he saw wwx, he tried to attack him. I remember wwx ranaway fron gusu, going to burial mount to find a way to lift the curse then I think wwx saw people in it (they worship wwx). I also remember lwj chases after wwx to kill him

8. Hi, there a wangxian fic that i need help finding. I think they both were married, arranged, (i think 😅) and Lan wanji comes to live in Yiling/Burial Mounds. There were several children living with Wei wuxian and initially for a moment wanji mistakes them being Wei wuxian's kids. There's a scene where Wanji plays guqin for the kids every night...

~*~
9. For the next fic finder, I’ve been looking for a wangxian fic where WWX goes to the Cold Spring, and LWJ ends up leaving WWX in the spring. Well, WWX ends either falling asleep or passing out, and LQR ends up finding him in the morning absolutely freezing. LQR takes WWX to the medical wing, and I believe WWX has to be resuscitated.

~*~
10. Hiii! I’m looking for a fic where LWJ joins WWX in the burial mounds, but it must be a canon AU where wwx lives, because this takes place after Nightless City, but LWJ has been punished with the discipline whip. He hides his injuries from WWX, who is super mean to him. But then WWX gets angry and throws LWJ against a wall, not knowing about his injuries. LWJ is hurt very badly, and WWX feels awful bc really he just wanted to push him away, not hurt him.
I also remember that the Wens were still alive, and LWJ brought a maid who helped him hide his injuries, and wwx was furious with her but promised WQ he wouldn’t hurt her.
I hope that’s enough detail! Thanks for everything you do!

11. Hello! I'm looking for a fic set during the guest lectures.I believe there was a plot point about wwx getting taught by an old lan talisman teacher (who was an oc i think) that has a similar mischievous personality to wwx and uses a cane.

15. Hello, I can't find a fic that is a retelling of svsss with mdzs characters that I've read last year. As far as I remember the fic was from wwx's pov, and there were a lot of interactions with 'the system'.

17. Hi Mods!
I have this WangXian fic I really loved but forgot to bookmark. Can you please help me find it? I read it over a year ago, so I can’t remember much of the details.
But basically, it happened after a huge war and LWJ was injured. WY found him volunteering at something like a refugee camp (?) and LWJ looked so sad and broken. I can’t remember much. But I know there was a lighthouse and WY took him there and eventually they ended up living close to that lighthouse.
Thank you for all that you do! I appreciate this blog so much.
FOUND! All that is solid melts into air by huxiyi (T, 18k, WangXian, Angst with a Happy Ending, Growing Old Together, Breaking Up & Making Up, Post-Canon, Character Study, Getting Back Together) I know #17, it was a break up then make up fic and the summary had something of a proletariat revolution and there was a pretty animation with them at the lighthouse. and lan yuan cussed out Wei ying for leaving lan zhan 🫣
~*~
18. Thank you for your hardwork! Can you guys help me find the fic where JC demanded WY to give his core (Im not sure about this but the story started with the surgery or the core transfer) but then something happened and JC died. The others don't want WY to come back to Jiang Sect then there's a scene where JYL said that WY should come with her for trial something as WY is the last one seen with JC before he die and Lan, Nie and Jin defended WY. Thank you!
Hauntcats' maybe?

19. Hi. It seems that I have lost another fic again. 👁️👄👁️ My brain is a wreck so I am back. Truthfully your blog has and will be the only thing that saves me. So I'm looking for a fic where A-Yuan can see ghosts (you see, I think that is the series name 🤔) So this is ancient cultivators time. He calls the ghost his mama and sometimes draws a family picture. He would talk to someone they cannot see. LWJ thought it was a bad spirit but y'know Cloud Recesses is a safe place spiritually, he thought maybe it was just an imaginary friend. If I remember LWJ couldn't see WWX and later on realized it was him because some of A-Yuan's description became very specific. Other people found A-Yuan creepy cause they can feel that he can see SOMETHING. 🤨 I remember from another fic in the series where it's JC's POV about A-Yuan seeing JYL, JFM and YZY in Lotus Pier. JC was creeped out but was later on like "yeah he's my nephew alright 👍" Thank you in advance to anyone who can find the link to it! 🫶 @fluffiestfluffer​
FOUND! 🧡 Lan Sizhui Sees Dead People Series by darkbrokenreaper (T, 30k, WIP, WangXian, LWJ & LSZ, JC & LSZ, Canon Divergence, Fluff, Kid Fic, Hurt/Comfort, lsz sees dead people, Paranormal)
~*~
20. I remember this fic where Yu Ziyuan left Jiang Fengmian and took Wei Wuxian with her, and I think it was Madam Yu/Madam Jin and JFM/ two others I think?? I could be remembering the pairings wrong, anyway I was hoping to find it again and maybe even other fics where Yu Ziyuan leaves and takes Wei Wuxian with her if there are any 😺 (also in a itmf)
FOUND? @/ireallydontknow made a new post by sadlybeans (M, 50k, WangXian, JC/NHS, LXC/NMJ, LQR/WRH/JFM, WQ/MM, YZY/Madam Jin/Madam Lan, SL/XXC, MXY/XY, JYL/OFC(s), JZX/SS, Crack, Fluff and Humor, Modern Cultivation, Social Media, NHS is an influencer now (or trying to be), NMJ wants to trade brothers with LXC, Mutual Pining, Light Angst, Trans Male Character)

what are Your thoughts on ships? I personally like them but when i ship something it's like "it could be perfectly a platonic or romantic relationship or both"
i'm not a huge shipper honestly!
i think it's because i'm somewhere on the aro ace spectrum. definitely ace, probably some variation of aro.
so for me, i respect all ships 'cause i'm like. it's whatever, i don't care, i was in the spn fandom. as long as people tag things and aren't weird to others about it, i don't care.
but as for ships personally? yeah i'm something like you, anon. i have to feel a pretty deep connection to the characters, i'm not really one for toxic ship dynamics, i'm picky i guess? i think the only thing i've ever actively shipped is songxiao because they were so good and so tragic and also so full of hope. i'm sucker for that sort thing.
i don't know, it's never been something i super care about, i do have an extremely small handful of ships i like (think literally just two), but again, i'm weird 'cause affection to me is often deeply platonic so. y'know.

2023: A Year in Review
tagged by the wonderful @weiwuz thank you!!
rules: link your favourite and/or most popular post from each month of this year (it's totally fine to skip months and tag some CCs you love!)
i'm going to link more than one because i feel like i've improved a lot over this past year as i adapted more to using photopea & explored a lot more when it comes to giffing using it & i'm proud of how far i've come this year! (also you can see when i went from only doing 1 gif a month to like multiple 🤣) apparently i didn't make very many sets in may that aren't in my eyes "boring" 🤣
JANUARY
first love: hatsukoi + terminal by lewloh & julia gartha
kurodachi | cherry magic + moment by jeff satur — for userdramas event 3: beginnings
lan wangji | the untamed (golden core reveal & all the things he said to wwx when he didn't know he was coreless because i love inflicting pain)
FEBRUARY
kodama sakuko | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 4: love
asatsune | reversal orchestra (with a quote by r.m. drake)
MARCH
asatsune | reversal orchestra ep 8
mike chinnarat in midnight museum ep 2 (this one might also be most popular people were rightfully unhinged when they saw this set/him in this drama)
asatsune | reversal orchestra ep 9
core four | brush up life
APRIL
jiang cheng | the untamed — for userdramas event 6: second time to shine
JUNE
takahashi satoru | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 7: identity (it's rainbow coloured what else can i say)
jeff satur lucid mv (aka the set i still kick myself for forgetting i could've used this for userdramas bingo)
wasteland by kang daniel set (another set where i kinda used b&w and didn't hate it also i just love the blending in this set, & the og mv for SOS was like yellow)
JULY
wei wuxian | the untamed — for userdramas get to know me bingo: character
AUGUST
takahashi satoru | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 9: icon
SEPTEMBER
xiyao | the untamed — for userdramas event 10: emotions (i really loved how this one turned out with the transition of the colours & just the colouring in general i really love)
asatsune | reversal orchestra — for userdramas get to know me bingo: relationship (i had a lot of trial and error with this set, it took a whole like 7 months for me to finish it because i kept going back and redoing the colouring because reversal orchestra if you haven't seen it is like literally colour coded yellow/orange, you can also tell it took me this long because this is one of the few sets after like july where i used my old gif size)
OCTOBER
xiyao | the untamed — for userdramas event 11: inspiration
NOVEMBER
songxiao | the untamed — for userdramas event 12 loss (this one is actually probably my favourite set of mine of all time)
yaojing | lost you forever — for asiandramanet nov bingo: animation (fade transition effect used, this one took me a long time to make & it turned out so much better than i expected)
tushan jing | lost you forever — for asiandramanet nov bingo: quote (i'm not a lover of using yellow in my gifsets & i actively tend to avoid it but i wanted to use yellow because i think it embodied the quote well and i surprisingly loved how it turned out)
tang lian | the blood of youth — for asiandramanet nov bingo: blending
DECEMBER
zhening | story of kunning palace — for asiandramanet dec bingo: black & white (b&w is another thing i tend to avoid with my gifsets because i usually dislike the outcome but i really loved how this turned out)
yunqing | reset — for userdramas secret santa + asiandramanet dec bingo: overlay
jinwoo/moeun | tell me that you love me — for asiandramanet dec bingo: free choice (i've been wanting to use this quote for agessss and it was just perf for them & this set has grown on me a lot)
yaojing | lost you forever (ep 33) — for asiandramanet dec bingo: typography (ironically for this what i love about it is the colouring)
jinwoo/moeun | tell me that you love me (ep 9) — for asiandramanet dec bingo: comfort
i'm too lazy to tag people so please feel free to say i tagged you, & if you read the whole of this post ilysm

20 questions writer meme
Thank you @heyholmesletsgo for tagging me :)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
76 (and counting)
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
1,095,178 at this moment
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I'm currently writing for Visual Prison and The Untamed/MDZS fandoms, but in the past I've written for Star Wars Rebels, the mcu, Supernatural, and a few others
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Maybe not so accidentally (899 kudos). A kalluzeb (star wars rebels) canon divergence AU
A Blind Goddess (657 kudos). Another kalluzeb fic. The star wars rebels fandom is a big one, so I guess it's not a surprise my top 3 fics with most kudos belong to it. It doesn't necessarily mean they're my best fics, only that more people have read them. But I'm grateful anyway.
The Reasons Why (426 kudos). Also a kalluzeb fic, and the first one I ever posted in English (I had only written in my own language until then). It was nerve-wracking to take that step but everyone's response was so kind it encouraged me to continue.
We Weren't Always Like This (413 kudos). This is a matchablossom fic (SK8 the Infinity), the first of the two fics I've written for that pairing.
No es la sangre (401 kudos). A thorki AU. This one is in Spanish
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Of course! The comments are a place to fangirl with people who are just as enthusiastic about the OTP as you are, what's not to like? Maybe I don't always reply as fast as I should, but I enjoy doing it.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I think most of my fics have a happy ending, I'm a basic bitch and proud of it. The only exception I can recall is It's not over, a destiel fic that was inspired by episode 5x04 of Supernatural and there's no way a story set in that alternate timeline could end well tbh.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
The other 75? XDD. Okay, fine, there are two fics in which the happy ending felt very satisfactory to me because the characters went through quite a lot of angst to get there: Under the Spotlight (songxiao, The Untamed/MDZS) and Take my hand, take my whole life too (sagamist, Visual Prison)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No, I've been really lucky in that regard
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do, but I'm pretty vanilla about it. I think the kinkiest thing I've ever written was some light bondage and very soft dom/sub dynamics.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
El vínculo más profundo. It's more of a fusion than a crossover actually. The characters are from the movie "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" but the story is set in the Pacific Rim universe. It was fun to write
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, it happened a couple of times with No es la sangre. Someone took it and posted it as their own, first on ffnet and then on wattpad. I don't think it was the same person in both cases. One of the (many) advantages of writing for small fandoms, as I do now, is that the chances of that kind of thing happening are almost zero.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Partially. Someone started translating No es la sangre into English, but they got busy and stopped after a while. I've thought about translating it myself but to be honest, I don't have the energy.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, a very long time ago, with a very dear friend of mine. It was for the X-Files fandom.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
This is the most difficult question of this whole meme. I can't choose one, I love my ships dearly. I'd have to name at least five.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I only have two wips currently in the works and I intend to finish both of them.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Action scenes, I think. Sometimes dialogue.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Pacing, infodumping, knowing how to let a story breathe and not rushing it. Those are the things I find more difficult to get right.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
If the story needs it, and if it's a language I know well, why not?
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The X-Files. Yeah, it's been a while
20. Favorite fic you've written?
I changed my mind, this one is actually the most difficult question. Aaah, I don't know, I tend to associate my fics with the community I get to enjoy through them, you know? It's not about how proud I am of the fic itself, it's about the whole experience. I am very fond of En la prórroga because I wrote it as a birthday gift for a friend and she loved it. I'll always love Under the Spotlight because it was my doorway to the songxiao fandom, where I have met some of the most amazing people you can find on the Internet. The same for Can't go back anymore, my first visupri fic, because I got to become part of an incredible group of friends thanks to it. And then there's Baby, It's Cold Outside and all the fun we had while I was posting that one. I'm overwhelmed by the response I've received to Maybe not so accidentally and No es la sangre, because I never expected any fic of mine to become so loved by anyone. So how am I going to choose just one?
Tagging @dreamyguns @ardilla-cocainomana @malalechan and whoever else wants to answer

1, 2, 12, 16 and 22 for the ask game! No particular fandom, up to you.
the character everyone gets wrong
Gonna say a toss-up between Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang here.Guess it depends on whether you mean in fic or just in The Discourse in general?
I see so so many bad takes on Xue Yang, especially people utterly glossing over his trauma, and... I'm happy for you guys, I guess, who've apparently never known trauma and what it does to a person? It's not a matter of Xue Yang deciding to be a murderous asshole because he broke a finger once. It's that his entire personality and the way his mind works were brutally shaped by severe abuse and trauma at a very young age. You don't have to like him or at all condone his actions, but have a little compassion, for fuck's sake.
As for Xiao Xingchen... I don't know which rubs me the wrong way the most, the "lol XXC can't do math" crowd claiming he's outright stupid, or the "lol XXC was raised by hippies" who utterly disregard his whole cultural context. Personally not at all a fan of mean (dom) Xiao Xingchen either, I just can't see it work with his canon personality, but to each their own, I guess. I won't read it, though.
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
Hmmm. That's actually a tough one, because I hc Xue Yang (And Xiao Xingchen for that matter) as rather fluid switches without particular preference as long as things are sexy and feel good.
I guess you could argue that Xue Yang would be wary about who he'd let top him because of his rough and precarious childhood and how badly the world's hurt him, but then, the boy also has a self-destructive high-risk-behaviour streak a mile wide, so.
I guess the closest I can get is that I don't think Song Lan enjoys the idea of bottoming, partly because of his more ingrained ideas of masculinity and femininity and the power roles he feels are inherent in topping/bottoming, but more importantly because he already struggles with physical touch, and the idea of being held down, touched and "trapped" in any way during sex is a bit scary. Not to say he wouldn't come around to it, but it'd take a lot more mulling over - and gentle experimentation. 😏
I already answered 12, so moving on to 16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)
Oh man, is this my cue to mutter about mean dom Xiao Xingchen again? Like, I get the appeal of exploring characters far outside their canon constraints, I really do, and if mean dom Xiao Xingchen tickles your metaphorical pickle, by all means, have fun! I just personal really dislike it. (I am super grateful to all writers out there who have started tagging for it, though! It makes it easier to avoid - and find, for those who are into it. Everyone wins!)
As for pairings, I just don't like SangCheng or XiCheng, they both feel very pair-the-spares to me, and are just... Mm. Not for me. Honestly, funnily enough, SongXiao goes here, too, 95% of the time. I pretty much only like these two as part of SXX - I don't know if it is because of many SongXiao shippers' way of treating Xue Yang like dirt, or just because the two characters on their own don't interest me much, but yeah. On the whole, I won't read fic for just SongXiao unless recommended by people I trust, and I'll only like/reblog art if it's very pretty and doesn't imply dead Xue Yang.
I also really don't like most modern au BDSM fic? So much of it reads like a wholesome manual - and I'm sure for people in that scene, it's really hot! It just doesn't do anything at all for me, except give me secondhand embarrassment. If sex is going to be a bit painful and having undertones of dominance and submission, i want it to be very, very real, borderline dangerous and not done for play or politely negotiated beforehand. Gimme the hot mess or nothing.
(Mandatory disclaimer that these are just my personal squicks and mehs, not passing any judgment on anyone who does like them! My Kink Is Not Your Kink And That's Okay, and ship and let ship. ✌)
I already answered 22, too, but... Hm. I'm sure I can think of more if I try...
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
I think Xue Yang's and a-Qing's relationship is a lot more complicated than a lot of people seem to want to think! Especially for those who've only watched CQL, where a lot of the Yi City arc was either cut or angled to make it into more of a psychological thriller - but they were a family! All three of them, and in the text there is such clear evidence that they all really cared about each other! Even Xue Yang.
A-Qing stole his candy without fear, asked him "why were you like that when you were little??" when he told the first half of the story of his childhood trauma. When she claimed to have been bullied to the point of crying, he protectively told her how to defend herself and made her apple bunnies to cheer her up. Even after Xiao Xingchen's death (and he must have known by then that she was the one who sold him out) one of the things he did while cleaning the house was to make her bed, waiting for her to come back home.
Not least of all, Wang Haoxuan said in his in-character farewell note that Xue Yang would have protected a-Qing as long as their happy 'dream' in Yi City lasted.
They ended horribly, yes, causing each others' deaths, but there was a time where they cared deeply about each other and looked out for each other, and that still matters.

Fic Writer Interview Game
Thank you for the tag (almost 2 years ago) @gusu-emilu!
I am tagging literally anybody who sees this and wants to play :D
name: Puck
fandoms: multifandom! although Untamed/MDZS continues to be my main
two-shots: I never understand this question but it looks like it means to rec your own two-chapter fics so here we go: Stories More Beautiful Than Answers (CQL, Mianmian gets to meet Jin Ling post-canon) and Rhûnlanders (I published it as a series of 2 separate fics, but it's basically 1 thing: Songxiao in Middle Earth - Xiao Xingchen is an Elf and Song Zichen is a Man, both from Rhûnland so they're still Asian)
most popular multi-chapter fic: Obviously Yunmeng In-Laws (my and @iamwestiec's CQL modern AU groupchat fic which had bafflingly runaway success) has to be the answer to this. But if we're only going by ones written solely by me, it's But, After All, I Am A Wen (incomplete Wen Qing canon divergence wherein she actually takes and uses the comb Jiang Cheng gave her to commit treason and save her family's lives)
actual worst part of writing: having the fucking brain space to fucking write, fuck. it's been really hard bc i have so many other obligations and they eat my brain so even if i have ideas i can't get them to turn into prose :(
how you choose your titles: in order of likelihood: first, quote from the fic itself; joint second place, something kinda descriptive of the fic or lines from a poem or song
do you outline? not generally. I did outline my multichapter Wen Qing fic bc it's so much more ambitious than anything else i've ever worked on and I occasionally do something resembling in an outline in the doc of my one shots when i know what happens in the sections but don't have the prose yet; it's usually, like, a series of bracketed statements.
ideas you probably won't get around to, but wouldn't it be nice? oh god so many lmao. i have an entire channel in my writing discord that is just these ideas. One idea I have is a Songxiao no eye transfer AU because BSSR doesn't open the mountain back up to XXC and how they have to deal with that. Also I have yet to write any Witcher fic but I've been playing Witcher 3 and I really wanna write a Vesemir POV fic that's 5+1 "5 times Geralt sent some random-ass stranger to Kaer Morhen and 1 time he came home" inspired by all the times in Witcher 3 when you can help someone and then be like "Oh yeah you'd be welcome at Kaer Morhen"
spicy tangential opinion: not that spicy but i wish more people would comment, especially on the smaller/less popular fics. i see your kudos! it makes me happy! but i'd love to know your thoughts if you have any!
callouts @ me: none of my self-callouts are writing-related, it's all just - clean your room, go the fuck to sleep, you're not a teenager any more and your body hurts less when you do basic life maintenance tasks. (honestly i'd probably also write better/more if i did basic life maintenance tasks so it counts lol)
best writing traits: Westie once said I'm good at making soft things hurt and I hold that compliment close to my heart <3

Hello, your Poly Bad Boys stuff is literally to die for, I love all the stuff you've done with them so far! Iv just been into a lot of poly bad boys and specially Grian/Jimmy lately too. I do have to ask tho, the latter is so hard to find so I'm trying to officially call the Grian/Jimmy ship name to Solidrian since we don't have a common tag yet, so I was wondering if you would you mind tagging any Poly Bad Boy or Grian/Jimmy works or posts you might have with #solidrian ? I would really appreciate it! If you would like to know more about the name chosen, I have a post about it in the tag. Thank you and have a nice day!
Hello! Thank you for the compliment, I'm very attached to them, and psa the final chapters of "whatcha gonna do?" and "i hope you have the time of my life" are very much in progress, they are both at least 75% written and the rest is all "i know exactly what happens, but this is so introspective that I'm struggling to get it perfect". So nothing that might cause me to give up or put it on hiatus, life has just been a lot.
Anyway, sure! I can go add the tag. This ain't my first ot3 rodeo and i know the struggles of getting everything sorted, especially if you just want one leg (or don't want anything with just over leg, sorry SongXiao people, i only want them with the gremlin).
I'll let you know that my next non-sequel bad boys fic (which might take a bit) will be very solidrian focused! Everyone loves Joel, but it's a time loop fic about Grian trying to do episode 6 over and over until he breaks the Canary Curse. (Because of course Grian can break the curse, he's Grian and curses are meant to be broken.) I don't know how many iterations I'll do, but I've written the ~final scene and I criiiied.

Do you think xue yang and xiao xingchen are soulmates, or two lonely people who just found something with each other? Or something else? I know you don't like songxiao but I can see the soulmate thing for them, so I was wondering if you see something similar for xuexiao? (I'm genuinely curious, not trying to be bitchy or convert you or anything! Hope you're having a good day!)
I’m not a particular fan of the framing of “soulmates” in general, and even less of a fan of the idea of a one-true-love or even one-great-love. (Weird fandom to be in with that opinion? Perhaps.) In general that’s just not how I think about pairings or relationships; I’m actually actively averse to it, to a greater or lesser extent, across fandoms. 
Which is to say - I see the songxiao and xuexiao relationships as being very different. And I mean, obviously, if I gotta add this caveat, the latter is based on an extremely unhealthy foundation of a massive lie, but setting that aside I think that...idk, foundationally, in terms of personality only, there’s not necessarily a “one is inevitably ‘truer’ than the other” hierarchy, or that the underlying emotions are more inevitably deep. 
(I’m not talking about “better” here, I do not care about “better.”)
Xiao Xingchen specifically gets something different from both relationships, and I think in both cases it is something that he needs (and in both cases he’s not getting something else that he does); I wrote about this a bit, specifically digging into how Xiao Xingchen relates to his “friend,” here.
(and this is why songxuexiao guys I’m just saying, Xiao Xingchen deserves all the things, he’s got two hands and a big heart)
This is to say that as far as I’m concerned under other circumstances (in another universe, in another life) there’s not necessarily a reason to consider one or the other deeper or more genuine. In canon that’s different, I’d say, by virtue of time and truth and chance (Xue Yang pretty much tanked that relationship before it even started by virtue of his poor life choices), but part of what I love about xuexiao is the missed opportunity of it all. The could-have-been, the disaster of possibility interrupted by circumstance and bad decisions.
If you assume that songxiao is like. soulmate endgame and Xue Yang was just the rebound, you lose that gutpunch. 
I actually really like the idea that, if we’re going to go with any kind of metaphysical bond, these three are like. Cosmically tied together in some tangled destructive mess. 
I’m with Song Jiyang here! If Song Lan and Xue Yang were in the water drowning, they’re all dying together.

i realized my last ask was just a lot of information to say that i like your art. all i wanted to say is that i dont rb bc i know you draw song lan and xue yang platonically and i want to respect that (and your wishes) and i dont wanna bug you. also i do love your songxiao art as well, its very beautiful and they make an absolutely lovely couple together. i feel like i may have failed in my initial mission not to weird you out just by sending my initial ask but i promise im looking respectfully and your art absolutely has value and beauty outside of the realm of shipping and my terrible weird shipper brain aoeiuraiuoer im a multishipper so i absolutely appreciate and love your songxiao works even tho im a songxue main. also you a-qing art is peak and adorable. i never see other artists portray her as perfectly as you do. thank you again for sharing your art and i really hope my asks havent bothered you at all. i just wanted to tell you that youre more appreciated than you might see and some of us just wanna be respectful to your wishes? i guess, i dont know. i know in an ideal world you would have tons of reblogs from people who like these characters and relationships in the same way that you do. i really hope that you get a ton of fans like that because you absolutely deserve it and your art is good enough to persuade people in my opinion (i was just far too far down the songxue hole to ever escape by the time i found your work). dont give up drawing what you love! i'll prolly just make that alt account i was talking abt earlier w/o shipping stuff so i can rb your stuff without making you uncomfortable. please take care and i hope you have a really wonderful day! again, im so sorry if ive bothered you at all. please take care.
Tumblr media
^took me so long bc i was making this and its not even good KSDHFJSK
in case you didn't see my response to the other ask: it's only certain ship tags that bother me! you are absolutely welcome to reblog my art even if you ship my notp of notps (which, again, songxue is not. it doesn't even qualify if i'm honest- yes this is probably a direct result of me drawing them so often LMAOOOOO), i love when people appreciate my work and everyone is free to take away whatever they want of it, i'm really sorry to everyone i've made feel like they can't interact with me because of something as overall trivial as shipping. it's just the tagging, guys! that's all i ask, nothing more!
thank you for wanting to respect my boundaries so much though and especially thank you for enjoying my art! even though yes it is in most cases intended as platonic it's really okay to enjoy it anyway. it means a lot to me that you do, and really don't worry about making a whole new blog, if for peace of mind you don't wanna tag it then that's ok but don't go through all that trouble for me PLEASE... you haven't bothered me at all and you're not weird, i'm just sorry if i made you feel this bad agh
(also, A-Qing is BEST GIRL i am always repping A-Qing.. . )

Hello! The last fic finder, I found a heart emoji before the title then I saw ur FAQ, the one with the question about it. Im just curious, (to all the mods) whats ur fav troupe? or tags in ao3? idk how to put it in a question, but i hope u'all get what i mean T_T
Its just that, if ever we have the same fav troupe or fav tags, i'll just stalk ur post with those heart emoji and try the stories i havent read yet. Thank youuuu in advance! <333
Hello! I usually go for Time Travel, Different first meetings, Crossovers, Modern AU's, Mpreg, single parent, and Fix-It/Canon Divergence type fics. Oh! And characters react/read or watch the series style fics. I love those~ My main pairing is WangXian but I do sometimes read wangxiansang, XiSang, XiCheng, ZhuiLing, XueXiao, or something else if the story catches my eye too. I'd say the kind of stories I'm into mostly veer towards Angst with a happy ending or Fluff and interesting plots or longer word counts. Though sometimes a heavy angst fic does catch my eye, I don't usually like angsty fics unless they have a happy/hopeful ending and I steer clear of pure angst/'mind the tags' style stories most of the time. As for tags, I would say I use Time Travel, Modern AU, Canon Divergence or whatever trope I'm interested in at the time the most ^^ 🧡
Mod L (@ladyunderthemolehill ) and Mod Kay (@the-last-d-boy ) probably have different preferences then me but I'm sure between the three of us, you could find something good to read ☺️
- Mod C
--
I share a bunch of interests (like time travel, first meetings, fix-its) with Mod C, it seems, though I'm really picky about any modern aus and crossovers! I tend to lean towards modern with magic/cultivation. And with crossovers so far MXTX crossovers have been more my go-to fics than others. One of my "guilty pleasures" is reading 'characters watching their series' fics haha
WX is definitely my favorite but I have read some good LXC/NHS and LXC/NMJ centric fics. Character povs I've enjoyed is WWX, LWJ, LXC, and NHS' povs!
I am not a fan of bitter or unhappy endings but angst is good as long as there is a happy ending. Humor is great and crack treated seriously is a favorite! And I just love those fics where WX are hilariously mushy 🥰
I have been a bit lazy about adding my 💖 on newer fics since I've been mostly editing on my laptop 😂
~Mod L
--
I adore modern with magic settings and canon-divergence stories a lot and I really love it when authors get creative and inventive with world-building. I'm a bit torn on fix-it stories, because they often feel a bit too hopeful for me when it comes to MDZS, so I'm more a somebody lives/not everybody dies kind of guy. WangXian is my main pair, but I also like SongXiao and I love to see Wen Qing paired up with Jiang Yanli or Mianmian.
I'm also a fan of angst and I do enjoy unhappy ending sometimes, though I too veer towards angst with a happy ending most of the time.
I feel like the three of us (+Mojo's Recs) definitely cover a wide variety of fics :D

1) Your post recommending that people watch the untamed actually convinced a friend of mine to watch it, so thanks! I need more people to scream with about this show with. 2) About song lan/xiao xingchen, I thought it's cool that song lan left with xxc's sword (purpose & focus of energy), spiritual power (literal soul), and eyes (literal body). What if someone could use that to resurrect him? Mostly bc i love the idea of them mirroring lwj/wwx's reunion somehow. So many possible parallels.
First of all, VICTORY, everyone should watch the Untamed and scream to me about it.  If anyone wants a rec post, here it is.
Second of all, G O D, I’m so???  I’m so proud of you for being the very first person to send me an ask about Xiao Xingchen/Song Lan, I love them so goddamn much, what a fucking tragedy.  The potential.  The girlfriend got very frustrated with my determination to wallow in the Anguish(TM) and dared me to write a coffee shop AU, so I am doing that.
Sort of.
There is a coffee shop extant in the AU, it exists, the fact that it is also a “Song Lan has wandered the earth for a thousand years waiting for Xiao Xingchen to reincarnate and now he has and he doesn’t know Song Lan” AU is secondary to the fact that THERE IS A COFFEE SHOP IN THIS FIC.
Anyway.  I’m kind of thinking about like...a Galatea kind of situation here?  As long as we’re on the subject of reincarnation AUs and happy endings.  Like, Song Lan sees to it that a memorial is built for Xiao Xingchen, and that’s one thing, but he also creates a statue, and that’s quite another.  It takes him a long time to think of it, and he does it because he wants to be sure that he can remember the shape of his jaw, the bend of his wrist.  Song Lan is the only fierce corpse in the world who’s spent untold decades refining the brute strength of the dead into something that resembles a skilled touch, so that he can use Shuanghua (and Fuxue, but...mostly for Shuanghua) as it deserves, and he puts it to work on clay and then on stone.
It takes him a long time.  That’s okay.  Song Lan has nothing but time.  A-Qing is gone, her spirit healed and free, and he encouraged her to move on, because it would hurt Xiao Xingchen, when he came back, to know that A-Qing lingered as a ghost for his sake.  All Song Lan has left to him is time and Xiao Xingchen’s sight and sword and soul, so he looks on the world and makes sure to find it beautiful, and goes night hunting for anyone who will take a strange mute cultivator’s help, and creates a statue so that the world will remember him.
He’s sorry, when the statue is finally finished.  It’s nowhere in particular.  It’s somewhere important.  Song Lan doesn’t know where the celestial mountain is, relative to anything in particular, but he has a--painfully clear memory, of opening his new eyes for the first time, and knows the Nowhere In Particular crossroad in question down to the blades of grass.  The statue raises its blindfolded face toward the sunrise, with a small smile on its lips and a hand held out as if in benediction or aid.  It’s tall and handsome, delicate-boned and long-haired, dressed in flowing robes and bearing a whisk in the crook of its folded arm.  It holds no sword--of course.  Song Lan couldn’t bring himself to give it a facsimile of Shuanghua, not while he holds out hope that the real thing might someday see its owner again.
Song Lan lets his fingers linger on the palm of the uplifted hand before he steels himself to step away.
The statue stirs, and reaches after him.

One Year Anniversary and 15,000 Post Round Up!
September 6th marks one year since I started maintaining this blog. Since then, I've reblogged an average of 41 posts a day, gained 1,270 followers, and been able to share the work of 3,381 artists, and utilized over 6,000 tags to help people looking for specific types of work in the fandom find the content they want! It's really been a blast, and I'm so glad I've gotten the chance to do that. Everyday I get to just roll around in the gorgeous work that people in this fandom create, and I get to share that with others, too - I can't wait to see how Year 2 goes!
we're up 69 followers since last update!
there are 295 new tags in the blog; as usual, it's mostly artists, in that we've gone from 3,252 artists to 3,381, an increase in 129 artists represented.
If you know where any of the works tagged unknown location are, please let me know. Likewise, if you know any of the artists tagged unknown artist (it’s pretty much all official art), I’d appreciate your help a lot!
If you make fanart, feel free to DM it to this blog, or @ me @unforth (don’t tag @mdzsartreblogs, tumblr rarely shows me those tags). I don’t track any unique source blog tags but I do check #mdzs daily and reblog all artwork posted there provided it doesn’t break any of my few rules (also provided that the creator hasn’t blocked me, or I haven’t blocked the creator - I’ve been blocked a handful of times (10 that I know of, to be exact), and I block people who post hate in the main tag, and yes, that’s included a few artists.)
Support artists by liking and reblogging their work! Yes, even if you see them on a source blog! DO THE THING! Artists need and deserve our support!
