The Curious Case of Misha and the Salad Dressing

i cracked the code 🙊 people — i think.

(mature content minors dni)

so see how misha said he had to wear jensen’s shirt because he poured salad dressing on his shirt but it was later discovered that he doesn’t eat dressing salad? well, i know we all speculate that salad dressing was code for c*m and i think that was the intention because if jensen was tossing misha’s salad or misha was tossing jensen’s wouldn’t salad dressing read c*m be a key ingredient involved in the process?

for those who may not know what “tossing the salad” means

things that keep me awake at night.

Jensen is always looking at Misha. Even virtually:

[ziigee]

It's been a while since i have socialised. For the past 2 weeks, my mind, body and soul has been possessed by Destiel/ Cockles. I have a Christmas dinner to attend to, not family, but old colleagues, literally old dudes. There's no avoiding it.

The problem is I have nothing else on my mind besides cockles (exactly what I wanted, for now). Taking a break from life.

I live and breathe cockles.

Silly, cute, obnoxious, stupid, embarrassing, filthy, messy, cockles images, boom boom boom

That reminds me, change my phone wallpapers.....

Whisky. Lots of it.

Did i miss anything?

WAIT WEREN’T THESE SHIPS VOTED OUT?? or: answers for a list of things i expect to be yelled at me 🫡

These ships were already voted out! Why are they back??

The number of ships were not adding up for future rounds, so I figured bringing four ships back from the dead (just in time for halloween!) would be a fun way to fix it. Also it’s funny.

If these ships win will they actually move on?

Well yeah! If they didn’t that would mean there would be nothing to work for!

How is that fair?? They already lost!

🤷‍♀️ better work hard to make sure they don’t win idk!

How were these ships picked/are they just ships YOU ship/why wasn’t there a vote?

They were picked either cause they make me laugh or because their shippers were intense or for maximum carnage/I do not ship any of them/I would be lying to you if I said J2 vs Cockles wasn’t the ENTIRE reason I decided to do it this way. Can’t be having u guys vote on it just for Cockles to not be picked, come on now.

This actually upsets me and you ruined my week and you’re an awful person and you are to blame for every stranger on the internet who pisses me off and why should we have to suffer because you were too stupid to think the math through from the start??

This is a tournament on tumblr.com. Also, you can block anyone who annoys you, and that includes this blog ❤️

You are an evil person.

Probably.

i have literally returned because i just got the BEST FUCKING ANSWER from you. please don't feel obligated to keep replying bc i WILL continue to keep gushing but. siri being 5'7 really warms the cockles of my heart bc that's my tall-for-a-girl height and the DREAM is a 6'5 daddy like remus. 10/10. i love that remus has these depraved (yet oddly wholesome) fantasies about his baby boy. and the funny thing is that siri is just fucked up enough to love it all. running out of letters but i love u

Are you kidding me I love this shit, I'd talk about them all fucking day if someone would listen. (I am very slow to respond sometimes, but that's my work schedule's fault.)

Sirius is definitely a little fucked up, and it's hard to blame him, with his upbringing. And he hasn't thought about any of this all that deeply because he hasn't felt the need to -- he knows that he likes thinking about daddy owning him, though the specifics of that statement are just kind of revealing themselves to him as they go along.

But Sirius is smart, too, and he wouldn't be in this at all if Remus hadn't first shown him that caretaker side. Because Sirius really wad just fucking around, having fun anonymously flirting with this hot daddy; feelings wouldn't have been a factor had Remus not looked after him on his birthday, or asked about his family, or bought him groceries just because. That's part of the ownership too. The caveman is hot because it's the opposite side of that coin. Sweet, calm, nurturing Remus has a switch in his head and all Sirius has to do to flip it is flutter his lashes and say "Hi daddy," and suddenly he's got this handsy, snarling, possessive man all over him.

"Everyone's gonna know my daddy marks up my throat 'cause he owns me." That was Sirius, that was the first time either of them voiced it. And up until that point, Remus hadn't even really let himself think about it in those terms, because that was literally like three minutes after they had kissed for the first time.

Sirius has taken every first step. Remus has just been pulled along from holy fuck he's hot to I'm going to fuck his brains out to he's mine all mine forever. Remus did not see this coming. You better believe he was biting his tongue HARD that first night in Sirius' bed. There were so many things he wanted to say, and nearly did. A few of them might slip free over Christmas.

As a side note, I will die on the hill of the wolfstar size difference. Remus as a gentle giant and Sirius as a tiny spitfire is my forever headcanon.

Your comments on my old Thorki fic always made me giddy (I did not realise you were the same person until after I responded to your last ask). I'm so flattered that you read off-pairing for me, and your enthusiasm makes me so fucking happy. Thanks friend ❤️

i read your blog religiously because I love the way you expose gen but you treat Jared as if he is some saint, he is also not some goody two shoes or whatever he has doxxed people, throws public tantrums constantly when things don't go his way, I earlier used to blame gen for this too for not controlling that man child. Also the stealing fans money in the name of charity through his weirdly self centered shirts and Michele stands, him pranking his co stars bordering sexual assault and non con. I wish you did expose of all padaleckis because we need brave soul like you to expose all the fake flop actors, but you keep yourself way too focused on one flop girl. Jared is not some victim if not better he is way worse than gen that's all I want to say.

You certainly said…that…

I hesitated to give this anon a platform, but I will say this:

I’ve been very clear to NOT paint Jared as a victim. Multiple times. But I also want to be clear that I don’t align with anything else that you’ve said here.

You’re using buzzwords that make me think you’re a big ole extreme Misha fan, and I have to tell you that I don’t want anywhere near that crowd or types of content. There’s a ton of drama, exaggeration, and hyperbole of the Heller and/or Cockles variety in this ask. And I guess I could be wrong, but you kinda checked all the boxes there. You just forgot the arrest.

Jared is not a saint by any means, but this isn’t an anti-Jared blog.

If you feel that strongly about your opinions, there is a near endless supply of Tumblr URLs…so pick one, tag your content to find your tribe, and get to posting. Instead of whining about my content, I’d actually invite you to go ahead and put in the work of developing your own engaging posts. I won’t be recruited to do it for you.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX666XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I sat depressedly in Daddy Till’s office wiv Hedwig, Satan, James, Serious, Snap and Lucian. Daddy Till was sitting in front of us cruelly. He looked more young den he did in da future. He had taken da ipod away and wuz now lizzening 2 a shitty Avril Levine song. Hedwig couldn't take it anymore and flew around the office.

“What da hell is this anyway??” he cackled meanly. I hoped he didn’t find out dat I was frum another time. Even though I had already told everyone that I was from a different time, they had children and those kids could just not keep their hands off me. I had not exactly been subtle about the time travel at all! AT ALL!!!!!

“Whatever u do don’t blame Paul Darkness Alzheimer Birdflu Landers, u jerk.” Satan said. "Nothing bad that ever happens is her fault!"

“Yah, siriusly she was trying to get Satan and Hedwig back together.” Serious said deviantly.

“Be quiet you Satanists.” Daddy Till cockled. “If ur lucky I’ll probably send u all to Akazaban!!! That will teach u to copolate in da Great Hall.” He changed the song on da ipod 2 a n’Sync song. Suddenly I noticed sumfing strong about da Ipod. It was slowly chonging! Daddy Till didn’t notece. He was too busy cockling secretly behind his desk. I knew he loves me too.

“You fucking poser.” I muttoned.

“I bet you’ve never herd of GC.” James said. Know I knew waht da iPod was chonging in2- Morti McFly’s tim machine!!!!!11

“Shut up Jomes!!!” Richard's dad shouted. Well, not dad I guess. Not yet. But he knows that

“Yeah shut up!!!!” Snake said preppily.

“No u shut up Daddy Till!!!!!!!!1111” said Tom.

“I’ve had enough of u Satanists in my school!!!!” shouted Daddy Till spuriously.

Suddenly I grabed da iPod from him. “Evry1! Jump in b4 itz 2 l8!!! I jumped in2 it. But only 1 odder person jumpd in. It was……..Satan.

“You dunderheads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111” screamed Daddy Till wisely as we went.

I looked around. I wuz in da Slitherin conmen room wiv Satan. I was wearing a blak plaid miniskirt with hot pink fishnetz, a sexy blak MCR corset and blak stiletto boots with pink pentagroms on dem. My earrings were blake Satanist sins and my raven hair was all around me to my mid-black.

“Hey kool where iz dis?” he asked in an emo voice.

“Dis is da future. Daddy Till’s iPod dat he tried to take away from me wuz really also a tim machine.” I told him.

“Kool what’s an ipatch?” he whimpered.

“It’s somefing u use 2 lizzen 2 music.” I yakked.

“OMFG kool wait whatz a 4-letter-wurd 4 dirt?” he esked in his sexah voice.

“Um I guezz sand????” I laid confuesdly.

“Yah I wuz just triinyg to make sure u were stil da same perzon.” He triumphently giggled.

Suddenly some of my friends walked in.

“OMG you’re fucking alive!” said Ginny wearing a blak leather jocket, blak baggy pants and a goffik black Frum First to Last shirt. I explained 2 her why I was alive. And why she was in the story. And why she suddenly liked me. And where she had been all this time. And that she was totally not some rando who just showed up because I had a fight with my friend again and I needed a stand in. She was made of cardboard.

“Konichiwa, bitch.” said Willow. She was wearing a blak corset showing off her boobs with lace all around it and red stipes on it. With it she waz wearing a blak leather miniskirt, big blak boots, white foundation, blak eyeliner, red eyeshadow, and blak lipstick.

“Hey, motherfucker.” Said Diabolo with his red hair. He waz wearing a black P?ATD t-shit and blak baggy pants.

“Hey whose that, Paul Darkness Alzheimer Birdflu Raven Face Landers?” Frau Schneider questioned as she walked in wearing a black t-shit with a red pentarom on it with lace at the bottom, red letther pants with blak lace, and black stolettoes.

“Oh its Satan.” I told her and she nodded knowing da truth.

Suddenly Satan started to cry.

“Are you okay Satan?” we asked concernedly.

“OMFG ur from da future!!1! What if u don’t like m anymore koz were from difrent times?????” he asked.

“No I still like you.” I said sexily to him.

“Ok.” He said ressuredly. I let him lizzen 2 Teenagers by MCR on my ipod while I was about to go outside to find out some fingz. I gave Diabolo a signal to keep Satan occupied. Satan fell asleep. Diabolo was the most boring person in the school and only there when I needed a stand in for Richard or Vampire. Much like his sister. I took the iPod. I was about to walk outside. Profesor Sinister ran in!!!!!!!1111 She was wearing a gothic blak minidress with depressing blak stripes, white and blak stripped tights, and red converse shoes. She was wearing LOTS of blak iliner.

“Oh my fucking god, where’s Richard!!!!111 How did Snap get back here!!! I tohot he wuz in Azerbaijan.” I asked sadly.

“Paul Darkness Alzheimer Omnipotentia Landers I was so worried abott u but I know you can’t fucking die because you’re a vrompire. Even though you have died like 7 times already but I guess some people just won't die. Snape came back because that girl Britney freed him. I never liked her she was a bad student. For no reason whatsoever and we just need someone to bitch at so that one person you know in your life had to do” Trevolry said reassuredly.

“That bitch!!!!!!!11 Did she also free Hargrid and Loopin?” I shouted angrily. I hated Britney because she was a fucking prep. No reason as to why whatsover

“Yes they are on the loose at this school. Daddy Till is back Cornelia is on his way to help evry1. Tell evry1 u see to lock themselves in their conman room!!!!!!” Trevolry said worriedly.

“OK. But where’s Richard???? How cum he was doing it with Snap?????”

“I dunno why but I know he almost tried 2 commit suicide after he saw u almost kill urself.” she said. "Also that wasn't Snape, that was the nice one, Flake. Snape is the evil one and he has been posing as Professor Flake all this time!"

“OMG dat’s terrible!!!!!!!!” I gasped. Satan was still asleep, so he couldn’t tell what was going on. Then I said “Lizzen evry1, I have sumthing imptent to do. in hr evry1 stay!!!!!!!!!” wiv dat I ran out.

“Good luck Yoda!!!!!!!11” everyone cried.

I ran sexily down the staris in2 da Grate Hall while da portraits around looked at me scaredly. There was hardly ne1 else in the stairs nd tere was an atmosphere of horrer. On da way I saw Britney laughing on da stairs. She was wearing a a slutty pink shirt wiv flowers on it, a blu jean skirt Abercromie and pink stiletoos. She looked jest like a pentagram of those fucking preps Hilery Duff and Lindsey Lohan.

“You fucking bitch!!!!!111” I shouted angrily.

“No, your totally a bitch. Now Voldemort will like totally kill u!” she laughed.

“Crucious!!!!!!!!!1” I shouted selectively pontificating my blak wand and she started screaming koz she was being tortured and I laughed sodistically. (pontificating is a hard word and definitely used wrong here)

“No!!!!!!1 Help me!!!!!!1 Please!!!!!!!!1” Britney screamed terrifiedly.

I put up my middle finger at her. In her hand I saw da video camera Snape and Lumpin had used to take da video of me. I put the tape of Voldimort doing it with Hedwigg onto it. Then I continued to rown down the stairs with the camera. When I had reached da Grate Hall I saw Vampire Potter. “OMG Vampira!!!!111” I yielded.

There was a magical cow in the great hall. We hugged each udder happily. He locked at me wif his gothic red eyes and spiky blak hair. Around them were blak eyeliner and iShadow, the newest product from Apple. His He wus wearing a blak leather Jackson, ledder pants, a Panik at da Disko concert shirt and his blak congress shoes. He looked mor like Joel from Good Charlote than ever. (did u hear der song da river it rox!!!1)“I wus so worried you died!” moaned Vampire.

“I know but Im a vampire lol. When I woke up I wuz back in 1980, so neway I bought Voldimort from when he was yung with me.”

“Where’s Richard?” I asked spuriously.

“Richard? You mean that fukking poser who betroyed you?” Vampir snarkled with anger in his sexy voice.

“I NO BUT WE HAV 2 FIND HIM.” I SED SMARTY.

“I’ll do it den.” Harry said angstily.

“OK.” I argreed. Suddenly……….all da lights in da room went out. And den…….da Dork Mark appeared.

“Oh my fucking satan!!!!!” Harry shouted.

“I fink Voldimort has arrivd.” I sed anxiously. “Fuck, I have to find Richard!!1 I guess we shood separate.”

“Ok.” Vampire sed diapperating. Sadly I ran into the Great Hall.

I saw this photographer complaining about your use of the picture, too. Reading the comments was just …

Instead of calling someone a creepy conspiracy theorist because they interpret a photo (and real life comments and actions) differently than themselves, maybe they should try looking at things from another angel. This obsession with seeing Jensen as perfect and constantly having the time of his life is ridiculous and points to a huge bias. I’ll be honest, the particular picture in question, where Jensen looks in pain, could be him "living the music" but to me, he does not look like he’s just grooving. Also, there is video of the concert, so it’s not like people’s opinions are only based on photos.

The last time Jensen performed at a con, he was yelling, not singing, and yet they praise his amazing performance. Jensen has a lovely voice when he isn’t straining it, and is a good performer (usually), but that doesn’t actually mean he is an amazing, Uber talented singer. He was very good as Dean, but to say he never had over the top moments or ones that didn’t quite connect, is just not true. Saying he’s liberal and a huge ally is a huge stretch seeing as he is very closed mouthed on politics in general (I don’t actually blame him there, as if I were famous I’d want to appeal to the widest audience and would stick to discussing my art). Saying he likes Destiel now because he learned the hard way that criticizing the stupid ship gets him outright hate and death threats, is embracing willful ignorance. Jensen and Danneel can only be viewed as couples goals, despite the fact that their body language screens anything but affection. Jared is the bad guy because he cracked the illusion that Jensen is a perfect friend, professional and gentleman, and had a "tantrum" on Twitter because he didn’t let Jebsen off the hook or bail him out, for once, for his shitty actions around the prequel. Jensen supports Ukrainian and really cares about the issue, despite the fact that he starred in a commercial promoting Atomic Heart. Anyway, my point is the man is not perfect, no one is, but as soon as they see any criticism, they call the person delivering it crazy, a hater, or a miserable person who is just projecting.

I love my family, but that doesn’t mean I think it or each family member (myself included) is without flaws.

I started watching Supernatural as a Dean and Jensen fan. I was crazy about Dean until later seasons when he just got angrier and more hypocritical. At first, I admired Ackles for his love for Jared and humility, but his behavior (his inconsistency at cons, and how he talked about Jared lovingly one minute, then criticizing him at JIB or joking at his expense when he’s not there, while calling him brother in the next breath) would not allow me to keep blindly sighing over him. Not to mention, I noticed how his stories were always humble (or not so humble) brags. He isn’t consistent and changes for the crowd he’s in.

I’m sorry, but if you are the one who only sees someone as perfect and can’t acknowledge any flaws to the point that you need to attack anyone who dares mention one, then you are the one without a balanced view. Our observation are subjective, obviously, and you don’t have to agree with how someone elde interprets something, but to instantly write them off as just a hater or lying (unless it’s a provable lie, or delusion with no proof like hellers and cockles shippers) maybe take a look at your own objectivity and need to go to battle for someone you don’t actually know.

It saddens me that Jensen has such judgemental, toxic fans that only care about fetishiz*ing him. Then I remember there are also fans like you, who are able to see him as a real and complex person. Thank you for this beautiful post! 💕💕💕

I think the reason why they immediately resort to bullying and gaslighting is because they know they stand no chance of making eloquent, balanced arguments because they lack objectivity. I mean all they do is project, not only on others but on Jensen especially, he needs to be the fantasy they created and is not allowed to stray from that perfect image. I cannot imagine how painful that must be to him. No human is perfect and we all just want to be loved for who we are, not for some false image others build in their attempt to exploit our beauty, like in his case.

So i screenshotted the hell out of Misha last night (still haven't figured out giffing 😑)

Some fine examples of this man that has overtaken my mind and my cloud space.

(how does anybody get any work done with this man around?? He is soo frigging distracting and I have only seen him in 2D 🙄)

Anways,

4 hours and 2000+ screenshots later, i was so disoriented from awe and disgust (affectionately) for this man's beauty and charm, this isn't me, i thought. I have had ENOUGH! I am going mental!

***

Morning comes and i am greeted by this magnificent beast of a man with his fine husband,

[Oh hello my beautiful angel, let's get on with the day, shall we? I wonder what you are up to, today? Hope you are doing well, Misha. Have a good one 😘]

That's how internal convos goes every morning before i speak to anybody other humans.

So, to summarise, I miss you EXTRA today 🥺

💙💙💙💙

💙💚

[certain-blue-eyes]

So...

I changed the home screen of my watch as well...

This is one of the pictures I'll never forget...

Bracelets: it's an Italian brand, actually 🤭

The blue one is because blue is my favorite color, and if this bracelet had a name, it would be 'blue means eternity and freedom'

The silver one is actually my con bracelet. One new element for each con visited by me. After Purcon6, JiB12 was my first con outside of Germany. Btw - did you see the 'green heart and the blue dots'? 🤗

[archervale]

Y'all idiots keep pushing me deeper into the cockles (rabbit) hole *ba dum bts*

I am blaming you for this

[deancrowleycas]

That photo op of jensen and misha where you said there’s lipstick on jensen’s side of the face isn’t lipstick. That’s the con where misha was mugged. That’s a bruise under his eye. He also had an injury on his mouth, hence why he’s covering his mouth. He covered his mouth on every photo op that con.

Not blaming you for not knowing, but the actual reason he has that mark(s) is pretty sad, i figured you’d want to know in case you wanted to take the post down. I’m all for jenmish/cockles, but that specific example isn’t great.

I was already in the fandom back when he was mugged, but my memory is super bad so I actually forgot which con it happened. Thx for informing me

[xianyao-villainousquartet]

She (涉)/She (蛇)

So someone on twitter years ago tried to make a dig at Su She for have the given name She (涉 -  wade) as being similar to She (蛇 - snake) because the Twins of Jade were considered to be dragons and snakes were considered to be their inferior counterpart. Even though both characters have different sounds and characters, so they’re nothing alike except for how its spelled in English and that’s even a stretch.

But then now it’s making me go down a rabbit hole because you can pack so much symbolism into Su She that it isn’t even funny. I’m trying to give this man a backstory, and just his name alone is making me go from having him be a basic son of a noble to him becoming a complete foreigner from a completely different country in the Far East of Russia.

Like you have to understand that yes She can mean snake which is inferior to dragons, but dragons are actually made of nine parts from nine different animals. “Dragons were described visually as a composite of parts from nine animals: the horns of a deer, head of a camel, eyes of the devil, neck of a snake, abdomen of a large cockle, scales of a carp, claws of an eagle, paws of a tiger and ears of an ox.”

And you know what the NECK IS IN CHAKRA LANGUAGE. The neck is basically a throat and a nape, and the throat is the blue sound chakra. Blue and sound basically relates to the Lan sect, and as Avatar has taught us, it deals with truth and is blocked by lies. 

And I’m like, what does Su She have to lie about. I mean there was the whole Hundred Hole situation which is a lie of omission technically, but then again, we don’t actually know what happened in the background, and it wasn’t like the Jins were advertising it to look for the one responsible (Also totally think that Jin Zixun was the one who tried to curse Su She but it backfired on him, and he blamed the Yiling Patriarch out of denial. It just didn’t make sense for a new founding Sect leader to literally risk his life over being bullied when he had real responsibilities and not out of nowhere. This is literally after a war, so Su She had to be too busy trying to build a sect. Compared to Zixun who had no responsibilities and an actual superiority/inferiority complex.)

And that’s how Far East Russia got into the conversation because I joked about him having the worst backstory, but now I’m like what if the entirety of Su She was a lie. He’s not a Lan disciple or even a native in the Jianghu. He’s a straight up foreigner from a mystical land of snow who survived a genocide, a war, and its aftermath before being fostered into the Lan sect as a secret refugee since he’s still being hunted down for genocide.

And because he’s a target, so much of who he actually is down to an ethnic biological level has to be hidden away. He literally can’t afford to be unique or to stand out, so he becomes invisible in a whole different world. 

But yeah, that’s the gist of how I’m trying to shape Su She. 

I mean for everyone else, their backgrounds are:

Meng Yao - Born of a brothel worker and Jin Guangshan. His mother was formerly a daughter of a scholar in the North Western countries, but after an uprising, she was human trafficked and sold at Yunping. Hence why she knew how to act like a noble lady with ease, and why Meng Yao has “distinct pupils” and other light features (not from his father, dammit donghua). His mother was tricked by Jin Guangshan into thinking he would buy her freedom because she was wistful for the life she had before. Yet came to accept her fate after she no longer sees him for two years. Falls in love with Sisi who raises Meng Yao with her. Meng Yao helps around the brothel and does odd jobs throughout Yunping to raise money, learn new skills, or earn materials. Accidentally helps a member of the underworld who promises to buy his mothers’ freedom after they achieve their ambitions. However, the stairs incident happens, Sisi is murdered by a jealous wife, Meng Shi has a stroke from the news and becomes a vegetable before they can fulfill their promise. So instead the underworld member provides Meng Yao with other needs which give Meng Yao the experience and intellect to become the formidable natural strategist he’s come to be known for during the war. Finds Xue Yang around the time, and Meng Shi dies a few years later, Meng Yao goes to Koi Tower out of guilt and grief, and then spends the rest of the years living in another city in Lanling with Xue Yang. Meets Jin Zixuan and his dog and become close brothers secretly.  

(My main idea with Meng Yao is that despite his background, he actually had a lot of opportunities and access to greater things because of his high emotional intelligence and visionary ideas. However, bound by familial love to his mothers, Zixuan and his other brothers, he takes on the responsibility of taking on riskier positions for the sake of their survival. Achieving the impossible everyday despite the obstacles yet burdened with the immense consequences of his loved ones’ choices and actions.)

Xue Yang - Is actually from the Wen royal family from his mother’s side, but because of a dispute/misunderstanding between Wen Ruohan and his father, his whole family and his father’s clan was killed off. Xue Yang was able to survive because his mother had him hidden in the kitchen oven, and was left wandering southward as an orphan. Tragic losing pinky story happens, and he further travels East until he meets Meng Yao who takes care of him until the war happens. Ends up joining the underworld through Meng Yao’s contacts where he’s trained to be specializing in cruel and unusual interrogation and assassination, but is played off as simply a delinquent on the surface.

(With Xue Yang, the main word is “simple”, hence why he has the shortest background summary. Out of everyone in the Villainous Quartet, Xue Yang is the one to not overthink things, sees things just as they clearly are, and is able to differentiate the lies from the truth. He’s the one Jin Guangyao trusts the most to pick who he should befriend because despite his social etiquette and high emotional intelligence, Meng Yao is actually highly untrustworthy of others for that reason. Xue Yang and Su Minshan being the only exceptions. Mo Xuanyu met Xue Yang first so he’s a special case. Furthermore, I made Xue Yang a Wen because it just seems right.)

Mo Xuanyu - Born from a concubine’s teenage daughter and Jin Guangshan. Had a relatively good life for the first four years of his childhood when Jin Guangshan would visit his mother, but after Meng Yao’s stairs incident, Jin Guangshan abandoned them. Xuanyu’s mother and him were then abused by their relatives, which drove his mother to develop a mental illness where she ends up abusing Xuanyu, too. His social growth is stunted, but he remains intelligent and creative by spending all his time buried in books. Most of them about horror and taboos, so he doesn’t feel alone in his situation. Almost ten years later, he’s found by Xue Yang (the reason varies depending on the story, but main storyline is to find a Jin heir after Jin Zixuan’s death and turn them into an ally), and this leads to meeting Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao, and being designated for an important role. Xuanyu holds no resentment for Meng Yao’s indirect cause of his abuse, and instead finds solace in his brother’s kindness. No incestuous feelings sprouted, but Xuanyu’s odd intimate behavior is due to the lack of love from home (e.g. kissing Jin Guangyao square on the lips because he was told that it was something you do with someone you love, not realizing the person meant love “romantically” and not “platonically”). Jin Guangyao would’ve made sure Xuanyu wouldn’t display it in public for the sake of their reputations, especially considering his marriage, but there may have been a situation where a misunderstanding had led to an incestuous accusation, and Xuanyu played the (disturbingly convincing) insane person to protect Jin Guangyao’s reputation. Also, he doesn’t spend all his time in the shed. He has puppets that he keeps in a hidden storage to take his place, and created the mask to hide the imperfections.

(Now for Mo Xuanyu, he’s definitely the baby of the group, being 10 whole years younger than Meng Yao. My constant idea for him is that he’s the oddest and darkest among the four (the Goth basically) where he surpasses Wei Wuxian in demonic cultivation with ease because he truly embraces the romanticism of death and darkness. When she’s more socially adjusted, she realizes she’s transgendered, and after accepting and transitioning, she becomes more vibrant and feminine (Perky Goth), and her and Xue Yang are more in sync like twins when she is. In the main storyline sadly, Xuanyu doesn’t come to this realization because he has to be the Xuanyu that society is familiar with for Jin Guangyao’s sake so he never digs deeper into what will make him feel identified.)

For Su Minshan, I want him to be the most unordinary person because he seems like such an ordinary person. With the other three Villainous members, they are misunderstood by their intentions, but people are not completely off the mark. But with Su Minshan, he’s misunderstood ENTIRELY, which is why I’m in a rabbit hole. 🐇🕳🐍🐉

Yuletide 2024

Dear author,

I hope the extra information here is helpful, but if you have something different you've been desperate for an excuse to try then please disregard anything I mention that's too specific!

Sally Lockhart - My first great fictional love, from a time before I even knew what fic or fandom was. My eternal love for the found family trope can probably be traced to the door of Garland and Lockhart. The lack of fic is a constant sadness, and I would love anything and everything involving Sally, especially if it predates or flat-out ignores Fred's death. But something set in post book canon with Dan or Harriet wanting to know more about him would also warm my cockles. Basically anything Sally Lockhart and I am in.

Queen’s Thief - I wholly blame Kamet e dai Annux, with his dry, long-suffering patience and the way he manages to be both the smartest and stupidest person in the room at any given moment, for my love of these books. Costis/Kamet is my favourite pairing, and I’m also a big fan of the spyfam-in-the-palace headcanon post RotT, ala ama’s Spies and Soldiers series, so if you're going down the shippy route my preference would be to veer away from the information in Moira’s Pen. I've got a few QT fics in my AO3 bookmarks which should be a good indicator of my preferences here - I obviously love Gen and Irene and Helen and Sophos too, but Kamet and Costis win out.

Rivers of London - I don't even know where it came from, I've read the books before and enjoyed them but mostly veered away from fandom, and then a re-read this summer sucked me fully into Peter/Nightengale, and then Peter/Nightengale/Bev. As mentioned, with the latter I do prefer a full OT3, but anything that involves Bev and Nightengale bonding over their shared love and frustration for Peter, in whatever guise that takes, is more than good with me. I do have a real weakness for touchstarved Nightengale, and future-fics that involve adopted apprentices. As with Queen's Thief there are a fair few RoL fics in my AO3 bookmarks.

Memoirs of Lady Trent - HOW do these books not have a bigger fandom?! The practical courtship of Isabella and Suhail brings me so much joy, and her relationship with Tom is my platonic OTP. I'd love something that touches on things that the books can't include due to the first person POV - Tom and Suhail, either of them and Jake, any of their thoughts on Isabella and some of her more madcap schemes. But I also love the sheer pragmatism of Isabella's POV, so don't feel you have to avoid that!

In general, I love tropes, I love found families, I love getting-togethers and established-relationships, and I adore lovers-meeting-again-after-years-apart (every fandom needs a Persuasion AU...). Hurtcomfort is my jam. I LOVE AUs; full-blown alternate universes (feel free to use any fandom I have an AO3 bookmark for, or to check anonymously if it's not there), everybodylives!, modern, canon, whatifs, whatever. Slice of lifes. Outsider POVs of a relationship, be that platonic or romantic. My general AO3 bookmarks are probably a good indicator of my likes and loves, if only for how broad they are.

My squicks are relatively benign. I rarely enjoy A/B/O or dom/sub unless it’s done very well. I’m British, so blatant Americanisms in a UK-set-fic (fall and sidewalks are the two I am particularly petty about) do bug me. Angst with no happy ending is not something I need right now. I’m rarely a fan of space/sci-fi AUs. While I love a clever other fandom AU I'm generally not keen on crossovers (so give me a Pride and Predjudice AU, but don't have Mr Darcy and Nightengale interacting, unless it's in a minor cameo sort of way)***. And I think that’s about it.

Thank you so much for writing for me, I’m looking forward to reading whatever it is :D

***This is not strictly true, I can think of at least two or three full blown crossovers that I adore (coughPeterWimsey-PhryneFishercough), so maybe it's more about the setting making sense for them to interact...I need to think on this some more XD
