@ aninfiniteweirdo, @lan-xichens these contain your asks :) and asks from other Anons! ╰(*°▽°*)╯ 

General

1. If you had to join a sect, which would you join?

Gusu Lan. 

A) I actually don’t mind the rules. Getting up at five? Please. I get up at 4 and have to be on call for 26 hours. Just so y’all know, the getting up at 5am and going to bed at 9pm thing was a regular boarding school (high school, university etc) practice in the China in the 70s and 80s. There’s an entire generation of people who grew up like this and they look at the young people of now and judge (nag) us for our lack of discipline.  >:) 

B) The rules are more like suggestions if you know how to live your life right. Look at Lan Xichen. Look at Lan Jingyi. 

C) I gotta admit that back when I was a kid, I was a huge teacher’s pet. I knew how to get on all their good sides. I aint afraid of Gusu Lan and their 3000 rules. Once, in the 7th grade, I chewed gum in class and purposely got caught just so I could experience detention for once in my life. It was boring, so I didn’t try it again. 

D) I love music. 

3. Manhua, donghua, novel, live-action, or audio drama? 

Live Action 100% ! 

Ships: 

5. Platonic OTPs/BROTPs? Rarepairs? OT3+s?

Platonic OTP  → Wen Qing and Jiang Yanli. I just want some sisterly affection or friendship between women. Platonic friendships are important. 

BROTPs  → The One Neuron Trio. Not even neuron, like...just one floating astrocyte probably. Nie Huaisang, Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian could’ve had it all!!! I’m so bitter. 

OT3s  → 3zun. If Meng Yao and NMJ’s strife stopped at the death of that one Nie disciple, if NMJ saw through Meng Yao’s bullshit but also his cleverness and usefulness. If NMJ and MY were united in their single-minded goal of protecting Lan Xichen. If Lan Xichen played an effective mediator. I refuse to take criticisms. 

6. Describe a ship in five words.

XueXiao: well shit, that escalated quickly. 

Characters:

3. Favorite character & why? 

Hm..... Mian’Mian. I can’t say she is my favourite character to write because often to write there has to be something I find lacking in the character, but I see nothing lacking in Mian’mian at all. She is a friendly, down to earth, sociable person; a brave and trained cultivator; a clever and diplomatic disciple; and a woman who was unafraid to stand up against the injustices she saw in the world. When she knew she couldn’t win a fight, she chose to walk away, and that level of common sense and self preservation done right (without blindness nor cowardice) is something rarely seen. In addition to all of that, she does not need to be a “not like other girls” archetype. She found love, got married, had a child, and lived for the simple life. That sweet ending of a little cottage in the countryside is the comfort I needed to get me through all of mdzs/cql’s bullshit.  

5. Favorite character of the juniors? [don’t forget OYZZ]

Ouyang Zizhen. I choose to believe he is a very accepting and kind person. He is able to be Jin Ling’s friend when many people even Jin Ling’s own sect dislikes him. That says something about OYZZ’s judge of character and his ability to see past the initial appearance. He is in touch with his feelings, and is a boy who is unafraid to cry. Yet, he is also unafraid to speak his mind and right the wrongs even against his father in public. He does all of this not because he is part of the same sect as JL, LJY or LSZ, not because WWX is his long lost dad or his misunderstood uncle or anything. There’s no familial ties that holds him to the other characters, and yet he is there, and able to be a critical, impartial third party, and I think that’s very important. There is something admirable in this young person, something the other youngsters do not have.  

6. Favorite character from each main sect (secondary is optional)?

Gusu Lan - Lan Wangji (cql)  Yunmeng Jiang - Jiang Cheng. Qishan Wen - Wen Qing. Qinghe Nie - Nie Huaisang Lanling Jin - Jin Guangyao  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  The rogue cultivators - Luo Qingyang aka “Mian Mian.” 

Fic: 

2. What characters/ships do you mostly write for?

I mostly write for wangxian, but I will throw in xiyao and chengqing because Corie’s got an agenda and she’s not afraid to push it. 

5. Recommend a fanfic!! Can be yours or someone else’s. 

I just finished  The Way It Wasn't by KouriArashi. HIGHLY recommend. A different kind of fix it, not what you expect. Has everything I love: wangxian, xiyao, nhs & my as friends, nmj doesn’t hate my’s guts, my is ALLOWED TO BE  A TRUE GREY CHARACTER, and a glimpse of chengqing. My crops are watered.
