dont leave us hanging on dilf jing yuan and kindergarten teacher darling's spicy sweet love story, darling. I mean we love to hear the tea, right teacher? :)
Fic for it coming soon! There’s plenty of little shenanigans I’m throwing in there. Love the miscommunication and misinformation trope. Here a little idea for it I’ve had marinating
Jing Yuan is already plenty whipped only a few weeks into Yanqing starting kindergarten. He is just so enamored by how personable you are and how well you work with the kids (and are very much like a mother figure to Yanqing a few months in).
Some nice chats and parent-teacher conferences and he’s hopelessly smitten. He hides it well of course. Stupidly thinks he can play the long game of courting you (but hasn’t officially asked you on a date or anything). He’s a fool in love, don’t blame him.
However, you are out on a Friday leaving the kids with a substitute teacher for the day. A jarring experience to the little ones so used to their darling teacher. She explains you had to go to the doctor but you would be back on Monday, no problem. The substitute of course doesn’t explain further because what would the five year olds care.
During their little snack break Yanqing’s little table end up wondering what’s wrong with you because hospital equals ‘bad things happened’ in their little minds.
“What if Teacher never comes back?” one kid asks as they munch on an apple.
It sets an unease in Yanqing. His attachment is too great at this point.
One of his classmates pipes up to cheer him up. She goes on to explain that her mom is going to have a baby so she goes to the hospital all the time. That in one of the hospital visits they’ll tell her if she gets a little brother or a sister. So clearly by that logic, the teacher must also be having a baby, right?
“How was school?” Jing Yuan asks over dinner.
Little Yanqing pushes a few pieces of broccoli around on his plate, his eyebrows scrunched in thought.
“Teacher wasn’t there today,” he starts.
“Oh? That’s new.”
“She went to the doctor because she’s sick with a baby,” he explains as best as he can remember per his little friend debate in school.
Jing Yuan nearly chokes on his water.
And truly he thinks it’s so over for him now that he thinks you have a partner and a baby on the way. (You don’t but he’ll find that out eventually lol)
Needless to say, he sulks for the next week. Hard.

hihi!! platonic jing yuan and yanqing with yanqing’s younger twin?
★ A/N: We love this found family dynamic adnifnogrn
☆ Genre/Trope: Platonic + Familial (Found Family)
★ Format: HeadCannons + Mini Scenarios
☆ Warnings: None
★ Extra: Not proof read, wanted to ramble in a way. I love the found family trope wkdnfrg // Reader is taller then Yanqing but younger // Single father JY // Reader is part of the alchemy commission (not stated much as I don't know much about it/can't remember) // I wrote this on my phone at like 3am
General Family HCs - Platonic! Jing Yuan + Yanqing + GN! Reader
Despite you and Yanqing being twins. Both him and Jing Yuan are still protective over you despite you only being younger by like a couple of seconds. You DO have freedman. They’re not that over protective. But do expect at least one of them to visit when you’re at work.
The difference in how you all treat your room honestly…Jing Yuans room is messy, sure his bed is made but documents and such are all over the place. Being a general means he can’t really have the time to care. Yanqing room (at least his side of the room - you two share) is also messy. Not as messy as Jing Yuans. Actually probably messier. There’s swords laying on the ground (safely) and clothes. Your side of the room is more cleaner. I feel like if you work at the alchemy commission you probably know it’s important to keep tidy.
Jing Yuan goes all out for your birthday with Yanqing. He’ll throw a party and get anything the two of you want. Even if they contrast horribly with each other. He will be making the two of you happy. Even if it means confusing anyone walking by if you decide to have it in a more public area.
You probably have been taught how to wield a sword. Both Jing Yuan and Yanqing know they’ll have to stop constantly checking in on you. So to ensure you’ll be able to protect yourself. You know how to wield a sword (or any weapon of your choosing)
I have a weird feeling you’re the best cook out of the trio. The other two do help though!…With like mixing and cutting. Jing Yuan at least knows how to cook simple, but if you want to feel fully fed and energised for the day. Perhaps you should take over?
Yanqing used to be taller. But then you grew taller. Honestly it’s funny to see how pouty he was when you first grew a few inches above his own height. He’s fine now though…just don’t assume he’s the younger twin.
Jing Yuan has a habit of patting your head. Yours and Yanqing. It’s his subtle way of saying “I’m proud of you” and he always is. He’s proud of the two of you and how far you’ve come. He’s proud to consider the two of you his children. And he’ll be proud of the two of you until he dies.
When you first joined the alchemy commission. I feel as though Yanqing wanted as many updates as he could about you. Jing Yuan trusted whoever was your mentor there but Yanqing was a bit worried. He will always protect his younger twin! Once he knows you’re doing well, he’ll start actually paying attention to HIS job.
If you say anyone bullied you for anything? Yanqing there to give them a piece of his mind (and if things got physical - maybe do some pay back) and Jing Yuans there to help and reassure you.
100% you all cuddled when you and Yanqing were much younger. Jing Yuan could not let his little babies alone. (He had to eventually, wasn’t happy)
Once you and Yanqing tried styling Jing Yuans hair and a family of birds flew out.
I feel like I said this before but just encase I haven’t - If you ever get a partner, they’re gonna have to get the approval of both of them. Jing Yuan may be easier to impress but Yanqing might be a bit harder
You honestly probably got to boast that your dad was the general at school. Whether or not you did is up to you.
Imagine a small you and a Yanqing struggling to hold up Jing Yuans weapon. You’re lifting up one side and Yanqings lifting up the other.
You also have a lion that you can snuggle up with :D Mini loves you, maybe you’re her favourite 👁👁
I absolutely hate working on my phone. But I didn’t have my laptop with me to do this sob. I’ll fix anything once I have it again if I find any mistakes
Last request will be started as soon as I come home from school! I’m hoping to have it posted by Sunday or Monday :))

Significance of props in LFCT
I have been obsessed with lfct and its ruining my life. I need ep 7 and 8 now, today, NO YESTERDAY !! The best part is how well directed it is, rather, the direction in this show feels more intentional than other bls i have watched in a long time. The layers in the show, and the fact that the show trusts the audience to pick up on things is what makes me like it more. So I get frustrated when people complain it is too "unnecessarily confusing", isn't that the whole fun, to discover the story ourselves rather than have everything spelled out to us like we are just horny teenagers waiting for the two main characters to make out? (although that's exactly what I'm waiting for, but you get my point) Anyway, I'm sure there are valid criticisms, but I gotta defend this show because of my brainrot rn. :)
I wanted to compile a list of props that might have symbolism, can someone please help me organise and make sense of it. :)
1... Cigarettes: I found it odd that the show used a tracking short at the beginning and the first main character we see on our screen is Hyunwoo. The first conversation is also about cigarettes. The two students are punished by their teachers for smoking, and HW himself is hiding a pack behind a book. This immediately pointed to me that cigarettes must be a symbolism for something. Cigs or cigar, typically in many queer films or films with queer subtexts, have been a metaphor for homosexuality, due to the *ahem* phallic *ahem* shape, indicating to us that when two characters smoke together, they're probably fucking. Its definitely untrue in the context of show because we have seen that DH does not smoke but his dad does. So my next interpretation is that it represents abuse or trauma. Im going to interpret as whenever there is a presence of cigs = presence of abuse/trauma. We have not seen HW smoke but he holds the packet behind a book, aka hides his trauma from others, and put it in his left coat pocket, aka his heart. The two students are getting dragged by the teacher in the first shot, probably to get abused, hence the smoking talk. Whenever the dad beats up other kids besides JY and DH inside the taekwondo studio, he always says that it is because they were smoking. One of the friend and JY quit smoking because they were teaching children (they say that before DH comes to the funeral) because they do not want to transfer their trauma to kids, so quitting cigarettes represents stopping the cycle of abuse. They smoke together because despite us not seeing the two other friends being beaten by DH's dad, because they came from same, school, neighbourhood and time when corporal punishment was legal, they probably share the abuse. JY just came back from crying at his abuser's funeral so it feels fitting for him to smoke and reminisce his trauma. The dad is smoking indoors when DH confronts him for hitting JY. The dad and his friends are always smoking when they call DH and JY for their late night errands, the director could easily have them just be drunk, not smoke. But because they are all complicit in DH's abuse, they smoke along with the dad. I hope they bring up cigs in final two eps so we can see if its consistent. Its also fucked up that they used such a prominent queer symbolism with an abuse metaphor. Genius.
2... Vehicle: This one is also very consistent throughout the show. I am thinking the car represents their lives. JY uses the taekwondo van from his work. The key features of this vehicle is that it is bright, it is used to service others (picking up kids, dropping them off), it is rented, and it is big. Despite being apart from DH, JY is a positive person and his personality stands out brightly. If we look at JY's story so far, we can see that he is mostly a selfless person because he stood up for his friend who was getting hit, and for DH, and he probably has not changed much since that time as shown by the van. It is pretty sad to say but JY also probably does not have a life of his own, he is constantly influenced by people he loves and people around him. He works for his friend so he is using his friend's car (he returns the keys back to her in ep 6 before going to DH). It also means that the way he lives is similar to DH's dad (minus the abuse obv) as both JY and DH's dad drive a taekwondo van. Probably why DH does not want to ride in the van aka live a life that is so close to the image of his father. The taekwondo van had to go, and I'm glad it did. Side note but their first few kisses often happened on the back seat of DH dad's taekwondo van. Pretty symbolic that it was not on the front seat as both of their lives are being driven DH's absent father. JY also has never owned a car. The second car which he rented before going to see DH is heavily influenced by DH. Despite still being big and bright, it is a new and expensive car. It is white, just like DH's car. The fact that is rented also may imply that the life that JY and DH share may be temporary. I am scared. Hopefully he buys a cheap, bright car soon after everything is resolved and takes DH out. Make it more permanent JY, please. DH's car is expensive. Probably the only stand-out feature. His life right now is for show. He also has a lot of money. DH's car also has to go, start walking, get it towed away, crash it idc. DH and HW currently share a life together (despite the ambiguousness of their relationship) therefore they share a car multiple times, DH wants JY to drive his car aka, come to life. All DH desperately wants is to live his life with JY so this man keeps asking about whether JY can drive well, aka "whisk me away safely, thank you".
3... Food: Love. Thats what I think it represents. DH initiates the act of giving love first. He prepares food for JY. Always. And JY does not get a chance to return it, which is why he keeps saying that he wants to cook sometimes. He finally gets a chance to make food for DH and they eat together. JY also wants to eat with DH's dad, he says 'it would nice to eat together often' during ep 1. DH is uncomfortable because he does not have love for his dad. JY's parents pay for his meals but never eat with him in the show, they pay for his love aka they love him but never directly (idk what kind of twisted love it is). We never see them share the love between them last time because JY never gets around to making the lunchbox before the final test. We are also never shown the food they eat at the restaurant that JY chooses after they are reunited, their love is a shrodinger's cat at this point, we will never know if they shared a meal there together or not. We also see a conflict when HW wants to have a nice meal with DH after he books a restaurant. DH does not want to eat with him aka share his love with him. We never see them eat together despite going to a restaurant with their friends. We see a menu but never food. A twisted love once again when we connect money with food, representing what is going on with DH and his current friends.
4... Chapstick: No idea. Please let me knowww :(
Then there is the glaring ones like telephone, snow, taekwondo and alcohol. Is there any other, I want to talk about this show forever...

goddamn who tf out here making thirsts that bad 😭 *looks away from my own* i healed from brain rot but dived back in bc i want some wholesome things on my name too
i know you’ve talked about pups already, but i wanna expand on it bc it’s a cute topic
blade would not want pups like you said, but i think if he did have one, he’d be terrified to hold them at first because he’d think his mara would affect them somehow or hold onto them too tight (strong hc that he was terrified to touch people for the longest time bc he thought he’d hurt them from not being able to control his strength). buuuut, once he was gently reassured and got the little one in his arms after a few days to get used to them, that man would not let that kid go 😭 his mate would probably have to “fight” him to hold their pup longer than five minutes bc he’s being protective
jing yuan, same thing, except he wasn’t scared to hold them. A+ dad, would 100% make dad jokes (save yanqing and jy’s mate for the love of aeons), giving his mate a break if they needed it with what he could handle (like feeding, changing diapers, etc) he would probably pout if he had to let them go bc they needed to be fed or if he had to go to back to work because fu xuan caught him slackin and realized he was lazing off at home to get out of doing paperwork
- messy nest (my brain shut off for welt and luocha, my two boys are living in my brain rent free)
Yay wholesome :D
cw: omegaverse, pregnancy mention
Blade
His omega got pregnant the day their heat/rut cycles synced up for the first time.
When he heard the news he wasn't entirely sure what to do at that point but didn't throw a fuss when his omega decided to keep the pup. He watches over them like he would if he was in rut which has almost lead to a few people(Kafka) to almost lose their limbs when they got too close to his mate for his liking.
Wasn't present during the birth as a script had to be completed but he's present afterwards and is stunned to see his smiling, though exhausted, omega with their new pup.
With how cautious he is as he approaches their side you'd think there was some sort of enemy in the room but it's just a baby. He doesn't reach for them or do much except stare at them like they could attack at any moment. His omega understanding he's simply out of his element and worried about his own strength and mara, offers up their pup for him to hold, gently guiding his hands and arms into the proper position before handing him their pup.
He actually shakes before the pup is in his arms but stills almost instantly once he feels how warm they are through their little blanket. It's a sweet sight seeing him relax and calm down from his anxiety that his omega is surprised how stubbornly he clings to them when it's time for them to nurse their young.
It's comical how he twists himself to the side to keep their hands away from the pup, Kafka and Silver Wolf snicker as they come in with gifts. He eventually relents though after all their pup needs to be fed but as soon as they're done he wants them in his arms again.
More than happy to take the pup to tend to them while his omega rests. He'll feed, change, etc his pup just good luck getting them back.
Jing Yuan #1 Dad
His omega gets pregnant the same way Blade's mate did, during the first time their heat/ruts cycles sync. Of course the biggest difference is he made absolutely sure they'd be knocked up by the time the week was over.
Made sure nothing would stop him from being present for their pups birth, he even asked Fu Xuan to divine the exact time and date to make sure he had it off. Present during the birth and his hand might be broken but details, it was worth it he tells his mate as they apologize.
Holds his pup carefully with a little assistance in getting them into his arm while Bailu mends his hand. He's absolutely smitten and pouts when he has to let go of their pup so they can be taken care of.
Best Dad award goes to him as he's taking care of his pup without being asked while his omega recovers their strength. He might get Yanqing to help so he gets used to handling the little one and learning his responsibilities as their older brother.
It's like he's been waiting his whole life just to be able to make dad jokes. His mate and Yanqing are sick of him already.
Gets into all sort of trouble because he's using the pup as an excuse to leave work. Yanqing and Fu Xuan will drag his butt back to work while he pouts having to leave the pup home. On some days he'll bring the pup with him to work including meetings. Mimi adores their pup to bits and will watch over them as they sleep, Jing Yuan has to fight them for the pup because she will not let him have them it's hilarious.

Red Yarn…
Because last time I did it there was no exact proof but now we have more consistent dates
I thought that we already knew this but I saw some people making posts about getting closer to the end of our beloved comic because apparently they still think the boys have been together for less than 19 actual days, and well I’m just making this to give some reassurance that the name of the comic and the days that have passed are two different things so no need to worry, maybe
I won’t go all the way back just a few chapters to show that there’s no way although you’re free to think wherever you want, let’s start from here
Right after school festival, and let’s count this as 1 just for reference
Then we had the day HT was looking for Mo at school and he offered money , She Li fight, HT and Mo reuniting, let’s call this day 2
Then the weekend and we had a lot of fun there but even tho we almost went to jail, lost the apartment and slept in a hotel, dance on the street and all those were just day 3 and 4
Wonderful week until unfortunately
So a whole week happened, those are days 5,6,7,8,9,10 and 11
And school again day 12, after this we have brother Q home disaster and now they’re with HC and they’re not going to school so the weekend again and even if this wasn’t the weekend it would mean day 13, this leave us with 6 days, 6 less than a week that would mean that Mo fought JY and almost killed ZZX a few weeks ago, cooked for HT, got his first kiss stolen and almost got expelled, JY was kidnapped, lived with He Cheng and went back home, HT did a lot of crap, went to visit his dad and came back, ZZX interacted with his sister and got mad at Q and all of them went to the mountain, ALL that in 6 days, that’s just not feasible
So once again my conclusion is that the name and the timeline are not related, we knew that it was just the name that was used in the compilation that they first appeared, just JY and ZZX and that doesn’t mean they’re the protagonist either we just met them first, no need to bend over backwards to make the days work and no need to overthink, at least not on this subject, about an end because as far as I know OX hasn’t said anything about it, if they did please let me know so I can schedule with my therapist accordingly
P. S. This 🧶 is made for @reizzeri apologies because is not the best, have a good one

You cannot Leave me.
I don't think I have ever expressed everything I feel about ZhanYi, but it seems appropriate to do it now, when TianMo is already established as the couple we always wanted.
Loving ZhanYi is for masochists, that must be made clear from the beginning, because we know that at a certain point, a breakup of the couple will happen.
The worst thing is that ZhanYi is not likely to be canon until they are both adults, unlike TianMo.
Ok, but as you may be a little lost, some context in case you didn't know or didn't remember:
Both vignettes are taken from the third chapter of 19 days, exactly one thousand years ago.
If we position ourselves in time, we can define that "high school" is the year after this one. So the kids are, between 15-16-17 years old.
Old xian made it somewhat confusing, but from moment one, we are established that Jian Yi is going to disappear (even dated) and that, therefore, there will be a break in their relationships.
What we see now, the very romantic moments of TianMo Jian Yi's drama with his best friend is the past.
To love ZhanYi is to assume that ZhanYi will not settle down as TianMo did. It's knowing that it's going to remain unfinished and that the boys' relationship is going to be on standby until college.
Apparently I'm a masochist, because I love ZhanYi.
Now it's my turn to talk about the chapter:
First… ! She called him by his full name. A marvel that shows us how much trust they have for each other.
It's obvious that ZZX already possesses romantic feelings for JY, but I love how slowly Old Xian takes his main partner (who right now seems more secondary) to develop their relationship.
Because this shows us the clear differences between the way the four boys love.
Jianyi: Affectionate and direct, but at the same time caring and funny.
Zhan Zheng Xi: Insecure and shy, who must give himself a moment to reflect and not act impulsively.
He Tian: Direct, overbearing and intimidating; it is the plain truth, he has been like a puppy dog after Mo.
Mo Guan Shan: Evasive and embarrassing.
Then, taking into account that JY has already made things clear to ZZX, I find the slowness with which both of them perceive the world too natural. Especially ZZX, who always sees things from an introspective perspective; as he compares pros and cons, because of the love he has for his family and the appreciation he has for JY.
About the relationship of Jian Yi's mother and father, I can't say too much yet because we still don't know much about it. Rather, it seems that Mrs. Jian Yi was in a one-sided relationship because Jian Yi's father did not tell her anything about himself.
I guess Old Xian shows us Jian's mom's relationship for us to make a contrast in their love lives… How JY is always on the lookout for what ZZX wants and thinks, in a relationship based on mutual trust v/s the illusion Jian's dad maneuvered with mom.
I want to know more and more about the Jian family. Because, it's clear that it has something to do with the mafia, and who knows, maybe it also has something to do with the reason for Mo's father's imprisonment.
Right now we could say we're like this with the boys' relationships:
And I couldn't be happier about it. My day just got so much better.
No puedes dejarme.
Creo que nunca he expresado todo lo que siento acerca del ZhanYi pero me parece adecuado hacerlo ahora, que el TianMo ya esta asentado como la pareja que siempre quisimos.
Amar el ZhanYi es para masoquistas, eso hay que dejarlo claro desde un principio, porque sabemos que va a suceder, en cierto punto, un quiebre de la pareja.
Lo peor, es que lo más probable es que el ZhanYi , no sea canon hasta que ambos son adultos, a diferencia del TianMo
Vale, pero como pueden estar un poco perdid@s, algo de contexto por si no sabían o no se acordaban:
Ambas viñetas están sacadas del tercer capítulo de 19 days, exacto hace mil años.
Si nos posicionamos en el tiempo, podemos definir que la “secundaria”, es el año siguiente a este. Por lo que los chicos tienen, entre 15-16-17 años.
Old xian lo hizo algo confuso, pero desde el momento uno, se nos establece que Jian Yi va a desaparecer (hasta con fecha) y que, por lo tanto, existirá un quiebre de las relaciones de ellos.
Lo que vemos ahora, los momentos tan románticos del TianMo el drama de Jian Yi con su mejor amigo es el pasado.
Amar al ZhanYi es asumir que este no va a llegar a asentarse como el TianMo si lo hizo. Es saber que va a quedar inconcluso y que la relación de los muchachos va a quedar en stand by hasta la universidad.
Tal parece que soy masoquista, porque amo el ZhanYi.
Ahora me toca hablar del capítulo.
Primero... ! Lo llamó por su nombre completo. Una maravilla que nos demuestra la confianza que se tienen de forma mutua.
Es obvio que ZZX ya posee sentimientos románticos hacia JY, pero me encanta la lentitud que se toma Old Xian con su pareja principal (que ahora mismo parece más secundaria) para desarrollar su relación.
Porque esto nos demuestra las claras diferencias entre el modo de amar de los cuatro chicos.
Jianyi: Cariñoso y directo, pero al mismo tiempo cuidadoso y gracioso.
Zhan Zheng Xi: Inseguro y tímido, que debe darse un momento para reflexionar y no actuar de forma impulsiva.
He Tian: Directa, prepotente e intimidadora; es la pura verdad, el ha estado como un perrito detrás de Mo.
Mo Guan Shan: Evasiva y vergonzosa.
Entonces, tomando en cuenta que JY ya le dejó las cosas claras a ZZX, me parece algo demasiado natural la lentitud con la que los dos van percibiendo el mundo. En especial ZZX, que siempre vemos las cosas desde una perspectiva introspectiva; como compasa pros y contras, por el amor que le tiene a su familia y el apreció que posee con JY.
Acerca de la relación de la mamá de Jian Yi y el padre, no puedo opinar demasiado aún debido a que todavia no sabemos casi nada. Más que tal parece que la Sra Jian Yi, estuvo en una relación unilateral, ya que el padre de Jian Yi, no le contaba nada acerca de si mismo.
Supongo que Old Xian nos muestra la relación de la mamá de Jian para que hagamos un contraste en sus vidas amorosas… Como JY siempre está al pendiente de lo que quiere y piensa ZZX, en una relación con bases en la confianza mutua v/s la ilusión que maniobró el padre de Jian con la mamá.
Quiero saber más y más sobre la familia Jian. Porque, esta claro que tiene algo que ver con la mafia, y ¿quién sabe?, quizás también tenga que ver con el motivo del encarcelamiento del padre de Mo.
En estos momentos podríamos decir que estamos así con las relaciones de los chicos:
Y no puedo estar más feliz por eso. Mi día mejoró demasiado.

As fun as the events and ideas you posted about 19days would be, wouldn’t it also just bring in more negative stuff - like fandom in general has become a field of land mines and I fear that something that’s supposed to fun will turn into some sort of battle. Like how some people get extremely heated over any other ships outside of their fave ship and they cannot possibly have other ships except theirs, etc. The last thing anyone wants is for content creators to be targeted simply for making something they thought would be fun
(This ask and answer is about this post.)
First of all thank you so much for addressing such a big and valid concern. I agree that that has indeed happened in certain fandoms - I can say I've been in the thick of it and witnessed quite the warfare - but in others it has also brought fans and readers and content creators together even closer and tighter in a wonderful thriving community.
I have the feeling this'll get quite long so please proceed under the cut with that in mind.
I believe all things are potential harbingers of both discord and harmony. There will always be people who feel entitled and who want - even demand! the audacity! - authors and artists to create for their ships and their ships alone. And there will also always be people who can appreciate the writing and the art without judgemental treatment regarding the pairings/characters depicted, no matter their preferences.
All of that happens and will continue to happen, whether we go forward with these events or not. And yet authors will still write what they want to write, artists will still draw what they want to draw, graphic designers will still make the edits they want to make as well. What we could do, in this small and close knit fandom, is take in our hands this powerful rich opportunity and try our best to make a model of positivity out of it.
In these events, there would be no bashing or shaming allowed. The content created would be to be enjoyed by those who are attracted to it, and those who do not have a taste for that fanwork in particular would be asked to remain respectful. (As it should always be.) There would be no ship wars in these spaces. Discourse, hate-speech or anti-behaviour would not be tolerated by the moderators of the event.
Creators who indulged in it would be immediately disqualified. Any unnecessary commentary or complaints from the audience would be deleted and reported as spam. Anyone instigating conflict would be only painting a target on their back, really. Because most of us - I dare say - are only here to appreciate the brilliant artwork and fanfiction woven and crafted by the talented people who share it with us.
If it came to it and it escalated, this hellsite has several tools that can be put to use to that regard. Accounts could be blocked and/or even reported. They wouldn't be able to interact with the blogs created to run these events from then on. We would be able to create a black list and post it publicly so everyone else who wished to could simply block those unruly pesky accounts and remain at peace and free to enjoy themselves to their utmost.
Let us not forget that this is all fiction and it's all for fun. Everyone's allowed to have their own opinion, likes and dislikes. There simply is no need to step on anyone else and their interests to elevate them.
Let's exemplify, for the sake of clarity:
Do I personally ship A with B? Imagine I do not. I do not search for it. If I come across it? I scroll past it. Once or twice, I may even like - and even reblog - if it happens to catch my attention and it's well written/drawn! (I have tags along the lines of 'I don't ship it but' and 'look at this beautiful art' or 'drown in the power of these words.')
It's so easy to interact amongst ourselves without coming with pitchforks at one another. Know what actually needs effort? Being a meanie and a party popper! Who in their right mind wastes their time on things they don't care for? Dum dums, that's who! Of course, we're all dummies at times... and that's okay! Let's just not harass people or crash their fun while we're at it!
If nothing else: you wouldn't like if others did this or that to you, therefore don't do it to others. It's a simple concept to grasp.
Very important: in these events, every single piece would be explicitly and properly tagged and warned for right at the very top of each post, so there would be absolutely no excuses for anyone being nasty.
We would just have to be open to the experience. Enjoy our ships and let other enjoy theirs. We do not have to all like the same thing. That would be just boring. But we can cohabitate devoid of trouble in fandom. Each one of us just has to be respectful. No need to even be nice. No one has to compliment something they don't like. They also don't have to step on what others do.
Don't like a ship/character/theme? Don't read stories focused on it. Don't put down authors who write it or readers who enjoy it. Same for art. No need to shout about how awful it is just for the simple reason that it does not fit into your personal shipping preferences. It can still be still be a tasty and wonderfully baked cake, it's just that you're not fond of vanilla or strawberries. It's okay. There are all kinds of cake for everyone's tastes!
Further examples: If a ship happens to be a NOTP for me or I don't care for the character(s)? I filter the tags. All of them. Any and every tag I can think of. It's very easy to protect ourselves on Tumblr from content we do not wish to see. (My own list is huge and just as effective.) Filtering is incredibly important.
So go ahead and filter out the ships you can do without! Filter out porte-manteaux like Tianshan, Zhanyi, Qiucheng, Tianxi, Tianyi, Lishan, Litian, Liyi, Shantou, Polydays, (...) Filter out any ship tag that doesn't strike your fancy like Q x MGS, HC x JY's mom, (...) Filter out characters that aren't your cuppa tea like HT, HT's dad, SL, JY's mom, XH, (...)
Make it safe for yourself and for others. That way you won't rage at the sight of your NOTP, won't feel the compulsive need to trash the people who ship it, no one is hurt and everyone is happy!
There are many steps we could follow to prevent rotten eggs in our coop. And many more actions we could take to throw them out if need be. I firmly believe, however, that if we're all of the same mind everything would go well and with very few bumps along the way.
If we only ever feared the possible negative consequences of our actions, never taking the risk for the possible positive ones, we'd never get anything done. I say let's not let our beloved fandom stagnate or dry out. Let's incentivate and motivate and inspire! Let's share! Let's have fun!
Think of it in these terms: it wouldn't be a competition at all but rather a charity event. Performers and spectators coming together for a common good, raising content and spreading joy! There would be no winners or losers or prizes. What would matter would be good old-fashioned participation, both by providing content and/or consuming it.
It could also a good way to get people to express themselves more. Many content consumers tend to lurk or keep to themselves even if they like the content posts. (I used to be one myself and only a couple months ago started to come out of my shell.) I myself advocate for reblogging instead of liking - if you have to choose one or the other, I mean, why not do both? - and leaving a word on every single post I like and/or reblog. Sometimes I go nuts commenting, sometimes I leave a small note in the tags.
It doesn't matter how. Even if you're shy or introverted (*raises hand*) or don't know what to say I guarantee a single emoticon or a string of disordered letters symbolising incoherence will make the creator's day all the same. Getting feedback is so important and motivational for creators and also a great way for fandom members to keep in touch and support each other.
Additionally, if a person would like more of a certain type of content here are some healthy actions they could take: a) commission a creator and pay for it if they can; b) politely make a suggestion to a creator with an open ask box; c) post a prompt publicly for possible interested creators to use; d) do it yourself and share it with others!
This turned out into more of a "behavioural guidelines" thing than I'd have liked. I am not in any way whatsoever telling anyone what to do. This is what I do, and it works wonders for me. I stay completely out of toxic arguments and in on all the goodies. I'm able to fully enjoy my fandoms. And isn't that what we all want?
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me. And I apologise for the long rant!
Of course, this is only my personal stance on the issue. I did go for a survey first exactly for this end, to get their opinions on the subject and see if it would be worth a shot. I shall hope many other people will think as I do, but I will wholly respect those who don't.

To finish this amazing JC Love Month that has given so much joy, could I ask for a final chapter of Lan Quiren being the good dad that little Jiang Cheng is in desperate need of? Thank you so much for that series!! It is all that I ever wanted and more,but I just need a WWX and JY and reacting to YZ and JFM and Lan Quiren interacting. Thank you so much!!! 💛💛
JC Love Month 2020 Day 30
Breathing and Footsteps
Your wish is my command, Anon! Day 30 of JC Love Month brings one last confrontation between LQR and JC's parents, this time witnessed by JC's siblings, who fully support him and LQR taking care of him. This also marks the last day of JC Love Month, so thank you all for sticking with me through it all! Technically it was a free day but I'm very bad with those, so my friend gave me a few word prompts to work with. This follows after Day 23 of JC Love Month.
Jiang Cheng is reading over the material they will cover in class later, when someone suddenly sits down next to him.
Jiang Cheng frowns, a biting remark already on his tongue, but he swallows it down when he turns and sees that it’s Lan Xichen.
“Oh, hi,” Jiang Cheng breathes out and Lan Xichen’s mouth twitches in amusement but when he smiles it’s kind.
“How are you doing?” Lan Xichen asks him, sending a pointed look at his newly cast-free hand.
“I’m doing well,” Jiang Cheng gives back and he’s almost surprised to find that he means it, too. “Doctor Wen says it’s healing well and if I stick to the physical therapy I shouldn’t have any problems going forward.”
“That’s very good to hear,” Lan Xichen says. “Though I think Wen Qing insisted on you calling her by her name.”
“She might have,” Jiang Cheng says and looks down at his book.
He tried, too, but it felt wrong when she was removing his cast and so he decided to stick to Doctor Wen. She had glared at him when he did, but her glare held none of the bite Jiang Cheng was used to from his mother, so she probably wasn’t too bad.
“As long as you know you’re free to call her Wen Qing, it’s okay,” Lan Xichen reassures him and lightly pats his forearm. “Listen, there’s actually a reason I’m here,” Lan Xichen then says and Jiang Cheng can’t help it, he tenses when worry settles in his belly.
“Is anything wrong?” Jiang Cheng asks, his voice low and scared, because most times he still feels like he’s in a dream, as if one day he will wake up and Lan Qiren won’t care about him and Jiang Cheng will have to sleep back in his own huge, empty house.
“Nothing is wrong,” Lan Xichen immediately tells him. “I’m sorry it sounded like that,” he goes on and Jiang Cheng thinks he knows him well enough by now to know that Lan Xichen will consider his words much more carefully from now on.
“What’s going on then?” Jiang Cheng asks, reassured now that it won’t be something bad.
“Uncle is working late today,” Lan Xichen starts and Jiang Cheng nods.
Lan Qiren had told him about the meeting he has today, much to Jiang Cheng’s surprise, because his parents never bothered to tell him where they would be and if they would be coming home that day.
“Yeah, he said,” Jiang Cheng whispers, still almost feeling uncomfortably surprised that Lan Qiren took the time to inform him about his plans.
“Good,” Lan Xichen says, as if it’s entirely normal that Lan Qiren told him. “I thought since you’re doing well with your arm, that I could show you how to cook one of Uncle’s favourite dishes today? I think he would like coming home after that meeting to a home-cooked meal.”
Jiang Cheng has to regulate his breathing at that, because he feels this close to a breakdown in the middle of school and Lan Xichen puts his hand on Jiang Cheng’s shoulder.
“I’m sorry if I upset you,” Lan Xichen lowly says, taking care that no one else can hear them, but Jiang Cheng shakes his head.
“No, I would like that,” Jiang Cheng immediately says and looks at Lan Xichen. “Please, if you have the time.”
“I wouldn’t have offered otherwise,” Lan Xichen says with a smile and squeezes Jiang Cheng’s shoulder once. “I’ll come by later then, alright?” Lan Xichen asks and Jiang Cheng nods.
“Thank you,” Jiang Cheng breathes out but Lan Xichen shakes his head.
“It’s my pleasure,” Lan Xichen replies and gets up. “See you later, then, Wanyin,” he says and leaves Jiang Cheng to his reading again.
Jiang Cheng wants to go back to that, but his mind his whirring now, too touched by Lan Xichen’s kindness and thoughtfulness and Jiang Cheng is looking forward to giving Lan Qiren something in return, even if it’s only something small.
Jiang Cheng barely managed to concentrate on his book again, when he hears footsteps coming up behind him and Jiang Cheng turns his head with a sigh.
He immediately straightens up when he realizes that it’s Lan Qiren who is coming up to him.
“Is everything alright?” Lan Qiren wants to know, not looking directly at Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng can still tell that he’s honestly worried that anything could be wrong.
“Yes,” Jiang Cheng very honestly says and Lan Qiren seems to believe him, because he nods once and then finally looks at Jiang Cheng.
“How’s your hand?” he wants to know, as if he isn’t asking after Jiang Cheng’s wellbeing every day but Jiang Cheng smiles at his obvious concern.
“It feels fine,” Jiang Cheng gives back and carefully rotates his wrist to show Lan Qiren that he’s not lying about it.
“That’s good,” Lan Qiren says and then his eyes wander to Jiang Cheng’s book in front of him. “I’ll let you get back to studying then,” Lan Qiren decides and simply marches off without giving Jiang Cheng another chance to say something.
Jiang Cheng smiles slightly when he watches Lan Qiren walk away, and he feels entirely too fond of Lan Qiren at that moment, realizing that this really was just him paying enough attention to Jiang Cheng to have seen Lan Xichen with him and to immediately worry.
He is not used to care like this, but he slowly realizes that it seems to be the norm with Lan Qiren. Jiang Cheng smiles into his book at that thought.
Jiang Cheng schools his face into a frown when someone sits down opposite of him and by now Jiang Cheng is absolutely convinced that he will not get any reading done.
Especially so when he sees that it’s Wei Wuxian who sat down at his table.
“What?” Jiang Cheng snaps out, because he hasn’t seen Wei Wuxian all that much since he moved out of his old house two weeks ago, and he only ever hears from Lan Wangji that Wei Wuxian is alright.
“How are you?” Wei Wuxian asks with a look at his wrist and Jiang Cheng shrugs.
“The cast came off,” he says and Wei Wuxian rolls his eyes at him.
“I can see that. But how are you?”
“I’m okay,” Jiang Cheng says, much more softer at that, because he can tell that Wei Wuxian is really worried.
“Are you in trouble?” Wei Wuxian asks with a frown, and when Jiang Cheng looks at him in confusion, he nods to where Lan Qiren just vanished.
“Why would you think that?” Jiang Cheng wants to know and he nods at Lan Wangji when he joins Wei Wuxian.
“You’ve been spending a lot of time at the headmaster’s office. Are you in trouble?”
Jiang Cheng looks at Lan Wangji at that, who simply shrugs.
“You said not to tell. I didn’t,” he easily replies and Jiang Cheng knows that Lan Wangji doesn’t particularly like him, so he didn’t expect that.
Since Jiang Cheng moved into Lan Qiren’s house permanently Lan Wangji has been a lot nicer during family meals, but they will never be best friends and that’s okay with Jiang Cheng, but to hear that he respected his wishes really touches him.
“Thank you,” Jiang Cheng whispers and Lan Wangji only nods.
“What’s going on here?” Wei Wuxian whines when he sees them exchanging looks and Jiang Cheng sighs.
“You know what?” Jiang Cheng asks him and shuts his book. “Come to the house tomorrow afternoon and you’ll see,” Jiang Cheng tells him, because tomorrow they will pick up the last of Jiang Cheng’s things from his old room and Jiang Cheng suspects that Wei Wuxian needs to see that Jiang Cheng left to really believe it.
“You know what, you should bring A-jie as well,” Jiang Cheng says as he stands up. “She should know, too.”
Jiang Cheng felt bitter for about the first week when he realized that neither Wei Wuxian nor Jiang Yanli noticed that he’s not at home, or when neither one of them checked in on him, but he realized that it’s unfair.
Jiang Yanli is just starting her new life with Jin Zixuan and Wei Wuxian is clearly still living on cloud seven with Lan Wangji so of course they wouldn’t notice.
Jiang Cheng doesn’t like it, but he understands. It’s unfair of him to expect to have all of their attention all the time and Jiang Yanli did ask about his wrist.
“What is going on?” Wei Wuxian whines again but this time it’s Lan Wangji who shushes him.
Jiang Cheng doesn’t pay too much attention to him anymore, simply walking away and getting to his class.
~*~*~
Jiang Cheng is nervous when Lan Xichen leaves him to it. He talked him through the whole process of making Lan Qiren’s favourite dish, not actually helping that much and he seemed proud enough with Jiang Cheng’s result that Jiang Cheng shouldn’t fret so much.
But he can’t help it.
He feels like if he botched this attempt of Lan Qiren’s food then he might as well just move back in with his parents and Jiang Cheng is stressing way too much over this.
He wishes Lan Xichen hadn’t left as soon as they were done, if just so that someone was around to keep his mind off things, and Jiang Cheng briefly debates calling Jiang Yanli, but in the end he doesn’t.
If he calls her now, he would have to explain why he is cooking for Lan Qiren and Jiang Cheng doesn’t feel like doing that this evening. He will have to explain enough tomorrow after all.
Jiang Cheng is startled out of his panic when he hears a key in the door and his hands start to sweat when Lan Qiren calls out a “I’m home”.
“Welcome home,” Jiang Cheng gives back and meets Lan Qiren in the doorway to the kitchen.
“What’s smelling so good?” Lan Qiren asks and Jiang Cheng gives him a sheepish smile.
“I cooked,” he says and Lan Qiren’s face immediately falls, and Jiang Cheng feels sick with nerves.
“Why? How is your wrist? Did you overdo it?” Lan Qiren asks immediately and he reaches out for Jiang Cheng’s arm as if he could tell if Jiang Cheng overworked it.
“I’m fine, I’m fine, Xichen-ge did all the heavy cutting, don’t worry. I was careful,” Jiang Cheng reassures him, flooded with warmth when he realizes that Lan Qiren is simply worried for him.
“Is that what you were talking with my nephew about today?” Lan Qiren asks as he looks into the kitchen.
“Yes,” Jiang Cheng admits. “He offered to teach me one of your favourite dishes. I wanted to do something nice for you, for once,” Jiang Cheng whispers and Lan Qiren’s face smoothes out.
“Wanyin,” he breathes out and tugs Jiang Cheng into a half-hug. “Thank you,” he sincerely says and then moves them into the kitchen.
“It smells delicious,” Lan Qiren praises him and Jiang Cheng ducks his head at that.
He’s not used to being thanked or to getting praised and he still doesn’t know how to handle it. So instead of looking at Lan Qiren he busies himself with setting the table while Lan Qiren brings over the heavier pots.
Jiang Cheng keeps quiet as they start to eat, as per the rules in Lan Qiren’s house, and so he’s extremely surprised when Lan Qiren lowers his chopsticks after a few bites.
“It’s absolutely delicious, Wanyin,” he says and Jiang Cheng is surprised enough that he broke his own rule so that he only stares at Lan Qiren until Lan Qiren awkwardly clears his throat.
“I’m glad you like it,” Jiang Cheng finally says and then shoves another bite into his mouth.
Thankfully they spend the rest of the dinner in silence after that, but the praise sits warm and heavy in Jiang Cheng’s gut, warming him through and through.
He’s not used to feeling like this, but he likes it very much.
~*~*~
Jiang Cheng swallows heavily as he looks up at the house in front of him but Lan Qiren is a steady presence at his side.
“We’ll just get your last things and then you won’t have to come back,” Lan Qiren promises him but Jiang Cheng is too nervous to nod, because he spotted his parent’s cars in the garage and he knows it won’t be nice.
It will be even messier, Jiang Cheng realizes with a start when Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli come up to them.
“A-Cheng,” Jiang Yanli greets him warmly and pulls him into a hug. “How is your wrist?”
“It’s all good,” he reassures her but she still checks his wrist for herself. “You won’t see anything,” he says with a slight chuckle but she continues to fuss over him.
“What is Headmaster Lan doing here?” Wei Wuxian asks though he does pull Jiang Cheng into a hug as well.
“We’re getting my things,” Jiang Cheng tells them when Lan Qiren stays quiet.
“Your things?” Jiang Yanli asks with a small frown and Jiang Cheng nods.
“I am no longer living here,” Jiang Cheng finally admits and watches as their eyes go big.
“What?” Wei Wuxian almost yells out and Jiang Cheng can tell that Lan Qiren wants to reprimand him for his volume but then thinks better of it.
“Wanyin is living with me,” Lan Qiren tells them and then pushes Jiang Cheng towards the house. “Let’s get this over with, okay?” Lan Qiren asks and Jiang Cheng knows that he’s looking forward to the family dinner they will have this evening.
Jiang Cheng is too, if he’s being honest.
“You’re what?” Wei Wuxian calls after them, but Jiang Yanli shushes him and follows them as well.
Jiang Cheng doesn’t have a key anymore—his mother took it when they came by the first time two weeks ago—and both his siblings give him a startled look when he rings the doorbell.
His mother flings the door open and she scans the small crowd in front of her with a judging look.
“It took you long enough,” she then says, not looking at Lan Qiren at all, who puts a steadying hand to Jiang Cheng’s back.
“It won’t take long,” Jiang Cheng says and his mother scoffs at him.
“As if anything you did ever went fast,” she mutters under her breath and Jiang Cheng can feel how Lan Qiren stiffens next to him.
“Mother!” Jiang Yanli snaps out and Jiang Cheng flinches he’s so surprised at that.
But their mother doesn’t even spare her a look and simply walks away from them, clearly trusting that Jiang Cheng will show them the way.
They barely made it three steps into the house when Jiang Fengmian comes out.
“What is going on here?” he demands to know when he sees his children and Lan Qiren in his hallway and Jiang Cheng takes a steadying breath before he answers him.
“We’re here to get the rest of my things,” Jiang Cheng tells him and Jiang Fengmian frowns at him.
“The rest of your things?” he asks, but then he gets distracted when Wei Wuxian moves or breath or whatever it is he does to capture Jiang Cheng’s father’s attention so easily.
“How have you been, A-Xian?” he wants to know and Jiang Cheng can’t help the bitter laugh he lets out at that.
“Father,” Jiang Yanli scolds him as well but Jiang Fengmian seems honestly confused about what she is so upset about.
“We know the way, don’t trouble yourself,” Lan Qiren suddenly speaks up and moves confidently down the hallway towards Jiang Cheng’s room.
“What is Headmaster Lan doing here?” Jiang Fengmian asks and Jiang Cheng is surprised to find that he’s not surprised to realize that his father didn’t even notice his continued absence. “Are you in trouble again?” he asks then and his voice is heavy with disappointment.
“He is helping me getting my things,” Jiang Cheng says, with more patience than he actually feels.
“Your things? Where are you staying?” he asks and Jiang Cheng shakes his head.
“As if you really care,” he mutters, and then drags his siblings along when he follows after Lan Qiren.
“A-Cheng, for how long has this been going on?” Jiang Yanli asks him on the way and when Jiang Cheng only presses his lips together.
“Since the fight, right?” Wei Wuxian suddenly asks. “When I told you not to come home.”
“Since the fight, yes,” Jiang Cheng answers. “Lan Qiren brought me to the hospital when mother wanted me to go to work. And then I had nowhere to stay, so he allowed me to come over. I’ve been over a lot and then two weeks ago mother wanted me to get the cast off and Lan Qiren had a few words for her.”
“She wanted to have the cast taken off after four weeks?” Jiang Yanli suddenly asks and Jiang Cheng nods.
“And Lan Qiren didn’t let her?”
“Him and the doctor they took me to.”
“Good of them,” Wei Wuxian says with vehemence and Jiang Yanli nods at that.
Lan Qiren already gathered most of the things Jiang Cheng mentioned he needs and so there is not actually that much left to do for him.
“Anything else?” Lan Qiren asks him and Jiang Cheng quickly gathers two more knickknacks he knows he would miss, but then that’s it.
That’s his whole life packed away in two short trips and Jiang Cheng isn’t actually that sad about it.
“Where are you going?” Jiang Fengmian suddenly asks from the door, a thunderous expression on his face. “Is this why you haven’t been at work?”
“Now you notice,” Jiang Cheng says with a scoff, but when Lan Qiren puts a hand to his arm, he falls silent.
“You will let us leave now. Wanyin will not be back, and if you need further details you best speak to your wife.”
“You can’t just take my son. That’s abduction!”
“And what you’re doing is child neglect at best and active abuse at worst,” Lan Qiren hisses at him, and Jiang Cheng ducks his head.
He objectively knows that Lan Qiren is speaking the truth but it doesn’t make this any easier to take.
“A-Cheng,” Jiang Yanli whispers, clearly horrified but Jiang Cheng shushes her, too concentrated on the look on Jiang Fengmian’s face.
“What are you saying?” he demands to know, but he already lost his posture so Jiang Cheng knows that he will let them leave without further fight.
His father did always shy away from confrontation.
“I am saying that if you don’t want child protection to come knocking on your door you better shut up now,” Lan Qiren says and Jiang Cheng has never heard him speak like this to anyone.
It seems like he has no respect at all for Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Cheng can understand that.
“Wanyin,” Jiang Fengmian tries, but even as Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli clearly gear up to tell him a few choice words, Lan Qiren steps right in front of Jiang Cheng and blocks his view at Jiang Fengmian.
“You will not speak to Wanyin, except to apologize to him and to wish him a good life at my place,” Lan Qiren decides and then nods, clearly expecting Jiang Fengmian’s silence.
“Then get out of the way,” Lan Qiren says and when Jiang Fengmian isn’t quick enough to comply with his wishes, he bodily pushes him aside.
Lan Qiren never struck Jiang Cheng as a physical person, but it seems like he’s entirely fed up with Jiang Cheng’s parents and Jiang Cheng can’t say that he minds it much.
“Come on, Wanyin,” Lan Qiren says over his shoulder and Jiang Cheng sticks close to his side when he starts to walk away.
Jiang Yanli and Wei Wuxian don’t follow them immediately, but Jiang Cheng doesn’t look back.
He suspects they have a few words for Jiang Fengmian as well, and he’s not too keen on listening in on that.
Madam Yu doesn’t show up when they leave and Jiang Cheng is really grateful for that, because he doesn’t feel ready for another confrontation with her, even though Lan Qiren is a steady and supportive presence for him.
“Can we wait for my siblings here?” Jiang Cheng asks when they are at Lan Qiren’s car and of course Lan Qiren nods.
“Are you okay?” Lan Qiren asks and Jiang Cheng blinks when he realizes that he is.
“Yes,” he honestly says. “Thanks to you,” Jiang Cheng tacks on and then he darts in to quickly hug Lan Qiren, who pats his back when Jiang Cheng can’t bring himself to let go again immediately.
“A-Cheng,” Jiang Yanli suddenly says from behind them and it’s only then that Jiang Cheng lets go of Lan Qiren.
“Oh, A-Cheng, I didn’t know what mother wanted to do,” Jiang Yanli says as she pulls him into a hug herself and Jiang Cheng bites back the bitter reply on his tongue and falls into her embrace instead.
“It’s alright,” Jiang Cheng mutters, and then groans when Wei Wuxian gathers them both up in a hug as well.
“You should have said something,” Wei Wuxian mumbles but before Jiang Cheng can say that maybe they should have realized on their own, Wei Wuxian goes on. “I’m glad you had Headmaster Lan at your side.”
“Me, too,” Jiang Cheng gives back, because he doesn’t even want to imagine what would have happened to him if Lan Qiren hadn’t been there for him.
“We have to go, guys,” Jiang Cheng says when the hug goes on and on, and while he enjoys this, he knows that Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji are waiting for them at Lan Qiren’s place, and he’s actually looking forward to that dinner.
“Alright,” Jiang Yanli reluctantly says and let’s go of Jiang Cheng.
“You’re welcome to visit Wanyin whenever you like,” Lan Qiren speaks up, much to Jiang Cheng’s surprise.
“Thank you,” Jiang Yanli says and then also hugs Lan Qiren.
He doesn’t quite seem to know what to do with that, but before he can figure it out Jiang Yanli steps back again.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my didi,” she quietly tacks on and Lan Qiren clears his throat.
“You’re welcome,” he says without meeting anyone’s eyes and then he gets into the car, clearly looking to get out of this situation.
Jiang Cheng smiles at his behaviour and Wei Wuxian brushes their shoulder’s together.
“Are you really doing alright?” he quietly asks and Jiang Cheng leans into his side.
“Yes,” he honestly says and Wei Wuxian nods.
“I promise to keep better in touch now,” Wei Wuxian says. “I know I was occupied with Lan Zhan, and I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”
“It’s alright,” Jiang Cheng gives back, even though he’s not entirely sure it is, but when Wei Wuxian smiles at him he figures they will be okay.
“We’ll be around much more,” Jiang Yanli also promises him and takes his hand in hers. “I promise. I’m so sorry I left you alone with this.”
“It’s not your fault,” Jiang Cheng says.
Jiang Yanli is only two years older than him after all and it really shouldn’t be her job to worry about Jiang Cheng’s life.
“But I will still do better now,” she says and Jiang Cheng believes her.
“Alright,” he says and then smiles apologetically at her and Wei Wuxian. “Listen, we have to go now. It’s family dinner tonight,” he explains and is startled when he sees tears in Jiang Yanli’s eyes.
“Go and enjoy your family dinner then,” Jiang Yanli says as she pats Jiang Cheng’s cheek and he blushes.
“I will,” he promises and then he moves away from them, because he actually itches to leave with Lan Qiren now.
“Are you ready?” Lan Qiren asks when he slides into the car with him, and Jiang Cheng nods.
“It’s too much today,” he admits. “But I’m looking forward to them visiting.”
“They truly are always welcome,” Lan Qiren reiterates again and reaches over to squeeze Jiang Cheng’s shoulder.
“Thank you,” Jiang Cheng whispers. “For everything.”
“That’s what you do for family,” Lan Qiren replies even as he starts the car, mostly to avoid looking at Jiang Cheng, he knows that by now.
Jiang Cheng smiles at his predictable behaviour and then settles deeper into the seat.
Lan Xichen promised to make Jiang Cheng’s favourite dishes today and Jiang Cheng is even looking forward to see Lan Wangji and he realizes that this must be what family feels like.
It’s a very warm and comfortable feeling and Jiang Cheng hopes he gets a lot more of this now.
But when he looks over at Lan Qiren, Jiang Cheng knows that he will do his best to make sure that Jiang Cheng always feels like this.

THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH EP 14, My Appreciation and How It Made Me Feel
Moving on to the pregnant lady that LR was switching. We actually did not know what is the purpose of showing her story until later. But im okay with it because it added to the story development anyway. Also her acting was great! I love both ladies here, very good. I love how this series shows you that we got to see the dark side of people. How selfish and how they willing to do anything for their own needs no matter if its wrong/bad.
The scene with PM speaking to her mom and give her a code was clever. This thing should have been done by JTE to prevent Luna to screw things up. And PM was also after the whip! Seriously while watching it on air my mind go wild that there will be shifted in villain from LR to Luna and PM. I thought that they will manage to get the flute from both Gon and LR and create chaos. But im sorry, no 🤣
JTE coming to bamboo forest because she misses Gon so much. The way she put coin inside the payphone just in case Gon will come and call her is sad ����🥺 then JTE got another new memory. Gon visit her in 2016. This visit is rather sad because Gon seems to look tired and he look startled to see JTE not recognizing him. My fav was when Gon put hair ties into JTE arms, i feel him longing to touch JTE. How he missed her. Also i appreciate the directors or editors (whoever) has the idea to insert the -i just want to stay with you- music here because its symbolize the starting over from the start. The way music start with piano when Gon explain they will see each other agian at gwanghamun on 2020 and said “can you try to be little friendlier to me when we meet again? And make some more time for me. We dont have much time” amazing! Because the music is a trademark of early episodes 🥺🥺 and they way he says “bye” was so painful. Basically the entire script here was amazing!!! Also appreciate how they play with camera movements when Gon from the past lay his head to the pay phone glass and turn to JTE from the present. Same place different time, and they used different filter for that different time was cool. Kudos to the writers and production team 🤌👏🏼
Then Before Gon back to the April he visit JY at the rowing race. He make sure that the sequence going as it is. He put the jacket on the bench and the racetrack card inside. So Luna will take it and lead him to Korea. So really, the best thing happen because you make it happen. This is super cool. But i think Gon creates different realities while doing this visits. It creates a loop and possibilities of entanglement. Niceeeeee
Then we are back to Korea where we saw Luna going shopping with JTE dad and Nari, its pretty bitter to see her laughing while watching Nari and “dad” joking around. Something that she never felt before. Having a family.
Then JTE and her locked eyes. JTE have been following them around. And Luna goes to gang way followed by JTE, they finally face to face. Damn creepy. This scene was well made. KGE you should get an oscar! The way she is in shocked to see Luna make her off guard. And the blinking of street light added to the tension. Luna STABBED her!! And leave her.
JTE call the police to safe her dad. And while in pain she received new memory. But this time its not initiated by Gon, but by her 🥺🥺🥺
What a great way to end an episode !
How it made me feel:
Excited and sad at the same time! Eps 14 is my favorite out of all 16 episode of TKEM. Because its revelation night, time travel, new reality, many possibilities comes to mind while watching. So much fun. I love the magical aspect they added in this sci-fi drama, the manpasikjeok makes it more interesting. So another entity was controlling the entire sequence because it want to be whole again. But at what cost? That is what we will see next! Im excited.
In this episode actually my mind go wild to PM and Luna, because both are after the flute. If only we got 20 episode for this, im sure the writers can use this potential villain to create a better catastrophic for the story. It will added the fun. But she has her own idea, i still respect her. Up to this point i kind of appreciate her, because her writings getting more complex after goblin - mr. Sunshine - TKEM. She is getting cooler! I hope her next drama will be more excited. Im curious.
Sad because we need to see Gon say goodbye a few times to JTE 🥺🥺 man thats hurt, i am crying a lot while hearing the music i just want to stay with you played while Gon say goodbye kn 2016. Damn! Also cry when Gon say “i was indebted to you” to Lady Noh! Also the ending. JTE from different reality holding Gon instead 🥺🥺🥺🥺
What i want to appreciate for this episode also the production team. Wow guys. Everything is wow! The camera placement, camera movements, filter, color, setting, music, choreography all along the treason night, basically the directing and the editing was amazing in this episode! All cast also do their part very well esp KGE. Damn girl you are the star !

iT'S YA BOI !! i read your foreign mc headcanons and i stan 💕💓 which had me thinking, how would warlords ( mitsuhide, nobunaga, and whoever else you'd like ? ) react to their s/o being kind of homesick and singing some soft songs in their native language? ( me being me i don't have that good of a voice so maybe mc isn't the best singer out there, but the songs are soft, slow, about love, about heartbreak, etc etc ) gotta love them ballads. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK! you posts make my mornings.
Hi, there dear! Thank you so much for the request, is always much appreciated! <3 You are so freaked sweet thanx for ya kind words! I hope ya like it! And I hope you are staying safe and well! So these are probs the songs that you would find me singing if I were stuck in the past lol! 🔥🦊❤
HEADCANON: MC Singing in her native language
feat; Nobunaga, Mitsuhide and Kenshin
Nobunaga
One night you and Nobunaga were relaxing in your shared room
Nobunaga had, had a long week and now had dark rings under his eyes
You had dragged him away from the important document to rest his head on your lap. You soothingly caressed his hence and hair, trying to coax him to sleep.
He looked up at you with pleading eyes
“Entertain me, fireball.”
He had heard you singing softly a few days ago. You were hanging out the washing and wind seemed to carry your voice to his room, giving him a renewed sense of energy for the day
“I am entertaining you, or would you rather I tickle your ears.”
Nobunaga’s eyes went wide, and he cupped his ear, narrowing his eyes at you. He had a cute little pout on his face
“Careful fireball, if you tickle me, it will be seen as a declaration of war.”
You smiled challenging at him, Nobunaga didn’t want to take any chances with you. He uncovered his ears and took your hands in his. He then intertwined his fingers with yours. He smiled triumphantly
“Okay, okay I accept defeat, how do you want me to entertain you.”
Ruby eyes stared excitingly up at yours, he gave you his signature smirk, and he asked you to sing for him
“Fine then, but it’s not going to be any good,” you rolled your eyes and started singing
“Ek sal jou nooit los nie en ek sal jou nooit vergeet
Waarvandaan ek kom en al's wat ek nou weet
In 'n wêreld vol bakleiery het jou vrede my nou beet
Want jy gee vir my 'n rede, 'n rede om te glo”
He looked into your eyes as you sang, he could tell it was some sort of a love song, he smiled up at you and closed his eyes to savor every soft sound of your beautiful voice
He had often forgotten that you had come from a completely different place and that your customs and languages were so different from his.
You would often sing these songs in your native language when you were feeling homesick
And every time you did, he would envelop you in his warm and ask you about your life, childhood, and favorite memories. Sometimes there would be a few tears, but Nobunaga would always be there to kiss them away.
He loved to hear about your life before; he would shower you with love and kisses, he knew that you had sacrificed so much to stay with him
He loved to listen to you sing, and you were only to sing to him and no one else.
He loves to rest in your lap as you softly sing. Sometimes If you are feeling particularly homesick, the roles would be revered, and Nobunaga would now be the one gently playing with your hair and singing some of his native songs to you, to ease your homesickness a bit
Mitsuhide
You were busy cleaning up your and Mitsuhide’s shared room
Little knew how sentimental the sneaky snek was; he kept a box in his cupboard filled with precious trinkets for his past
In the box was a small trinket that Nobunaga had gifted him the first time, they met. You looked at it and was flooded with memories from your past and stories your parents and grandparents used to tell you
You parents were also sentimental creatures and kept a similar box in their cupboard and as a child, you would also always open it up and gaze in wonder at the contents inside
You remembered a particular item that was hidden in the box that you stole for yourself.
It was your dad’s army jacket embroidered with your family’s surname.
You used to wear that jacket everywhere you went. You remembered how you would even wear it when you and your brother would play war games. You smiled at the memory and couldn’t help but remember your dad’s favorite song, well, to be honest, it’s one of those songs that every Afrikaans person knows
“Op 'n berg in die nag
Lê ons in donker en wag
In die modder en bloed lê ek koud,
Streepsak en reën kleef teen my
En my huis en my plaas tot kole verbrand
Sodat hulle ons kan vang,
Maar daai vlamme en vuur
Brand nou diep, diep binne my”
Mitsuhide smiled as he walked into the room hearing his sweet mouse singing what sounded like a very passionate song in her soft voice
Once the song was done, he snuck up behind you and frightened you. He sat down, pecked you on the cheek, and looked over your shoulder to see what you were up to.
He could see you were feeling a bit homesick. He asked if you would sing him another song from your homeland.
You beamed up at him; you were feeling a little shy. “only if you don’t tease my terrible singing voice.”
“But my love, I love it when you sing so out of tune.”
You rolled your eyes and hit his chest
You softly started to sing another song from your homeland
“Well honey you're the reason
For the poet-inspired love affair
Honey this is treason
The king is gone, Rapunzel let down your hair.”
You smiled as this one was more of a love song to help lighten the mood a little
You spent the afternoon singing to Mitsuhide and reminiscing about the past
He would just sit and listen to your beautiful singing, occasionally giving you a flurry of kisses while gently stroking your soft, smooth hair.
He loved hearing stories of your childhood and family
Every so often, you would get a little homesick, but Mitsuhide would always be there listening to your stories and singing. He would hold you in his arms and remind you just how much he loves you.
TBH he has heard you sing a few songs so many times that he will join in on softly singing with you.
Kenshin
You were playing with the bunnies in the garden
The rabbit you were now petting in your lap was white with black ears and legs. The cutie reminded you of the bunnies you used to have back at home
You suddenly started thinking about home and your sweet buns
You used to sing to them all the time because they were an energetic bunch and would only come to you for a cuddle if you sang to them
Your family would often joke about how spoilt your bunnies were back at home
Feeling a bit nostalgic you decided to sing, to the bunny on your lap, hoping that the wind would somehow carry your voice to the ears of your bunnies back home (even if they were 500 years away)
“We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say wave goodbye….”
You softly sang a song heavy with sentimental memories
Kenshin walked in the garden hearing the wind carrying a soft whisper of a voice singing
He instantly recognized your voice
He stood and listened for a minute, not realizing a tear managed to escape and was now rolling down his cheek
He could hear the song sung carried so much emotion; he softly walked over to you
Plonked himself behind you and rested his chin on your shoulder while wrapping his arms around your waist
Kenshin wasn’t the only crowed you manage to attract with your singing as it seemed like the full army of fur balls was now at your feet, nudging your legs as if to say “don’t stop now, keep singing.”
You felt a little bashful; you had only ever really sung to your sweet bunnies, and with your mom in the car
Kenshin was now nudging your neck with his nose, like the rabbits.
You couldn’t help but smile, Kenshin is the bunny lord, after all, so singing to him would be like singing to your rabbits.
You continued to sing the whole afternoon, Kenshin love the sound of your soft voice
Since that day, Kenshin would often try and convince you to sing to him when his head rested on your lap. He would usually hum along to the tune of the songs
And every time you sang to him, the army of bunnies would gather and listen to your sweet singing while nuzzling you lovingly. It's hard to feel homesick when your new home is filled with so much love
I hope you enjoyed it dear! and once again thanx for the request friend❤!
Hehe so the songs in here are:
ELVIS BLUE - REDE OM TE GLO
Bok van Blerk - De la Rey
Parlotones - Colourful
a-ha - Manhattan Skyline (hehe so this one is actually a Norwegian band, but omw they are so good and they are legit my mom and I favorite band! We have lots of memories attached to these songs so I felt like I just had to add it)

i need you to know you‘ve infected me with jy breeding kink thoughts and it‘s all i think about now
jing yuan with a breeding kink in the most meticulous ways… Doting on you and making sure your body is doing well. Making sure you’re getting the foods and vitamins that boost fertility and health. He will specifically have meals made for you by attendants ensuring it’s using foods that promote fertility and the likes for healthy future pregnancies. I strongly believe he would want a big biiiiiig family and almost considers retiring early as General of the Xianzhou Luofu just to breed you as much as he wants and build a big lovely family with you. (Oh to be barefoot and pregnant, constantly doted on and spoiled by Jing Yuan 😔 he would save me from corporate hell)
I can see him honestly knocking you up with mostly, if not all, girls. I’m molding his XY chromosome gacha to fit my needs as we speak. Huge girl-dad. He would love his daughters so so much.
Loves to get you nice and pampered so he can ravage you until early morning. Body oils and bath elixirs that smell delicate and act as a subtle aphrodisiac, nothing but the best imports for you. He wants you dripping by the time he’s got you in a mating press. So much potential with such a meticulous lover getting a breeding kink that leaves jing yuan desperate but holding back just to make things perfect as can be. Sighs dreamily…
I have a jy breeding kink fic in the works that I’ve slowly been working on. I’m going to try and power through it this weekend 💗
#ask stuff 💌#💌 anon#cw breeding#have to keep pausing bc he makes me too feral#but in the meantime I’m having fun with these jy asks#jing yuan x reader#nsf mii

hello!! may I request platonic blade meeting the child he had previous life (as yingxing) reincarnated?
they died before yingxing and were reincarnated, they still have the same genes so they are still blade’s child, blade finds them at xianzhou luofu since jing yuan took them in bc they lost their mother and blade is a stellaron hunter now
A/N: Hello!! Sure you can request this :> I wasn't too sure what plot to go but I assume it's just mini fics of Blade meeting his kid from his past life?
Genre/Trope: Platonic + Familial
Format: Mini Scenario (Multiple)
Warnings: Small spoilers for the Xianzhou Loufu quest (? - debatable)
Extra: Blade is bio father, but you see JY as your father since he took you in // Mainly just random scenarios of you meeting your bio dad and a small reunion // pretty much rambles(?) // Reader is about 12 yrs old (in terms of whatever species they are)
Blade didn't want anything to do with his past. Not entirely anyways. He wanted to rest, but he couldn't. As much as he hates it.
Honestly, I feel like Blade had an idea that you'd be reincarnated, but didn't think much about it. To him, you'd just be born into a different family and wouldn't even know him but he was wrong.
As it turns out, you kinda just...popped into existence, meeting Jing Yuan and the General took you in. Being a former friend of your father he knew what happened to both your parents, and as DNA tests would follow, Blade is still in fact the father.
As much as Jing Yuan knew it would be best for you to know your biological father, he thought against it. At least until Blade arrives in the hands of the Cloud Knights.
When Blade had broken out of the prison, imagine his surprise when he spots someone who looks exactly like his kid when he was still Yingxing,
He quickly fled however, as much as it's a surprise to see your child's reincarnation. He's a wanted man, though he never counted for the fact that you saw him yourself.
Despite Jing Yuan never telling you who your actual father was, seeing Blade. You felt a sense of familiarity in your body as you watched him flee. Being the adopted kid of the General, you know paths others didn't so you were able to catch up with him quickly.
When you did catch up to him and the Cloud Knights weren't anywhere near. You two probably just...stared at each other. You both knew you two were related even if that possibility seemed impossible but at the same time you two were strangers. The two of you (well at least you) were reincarnations, and in that previous carnation you two were family.
I feel like after a bit of staring Jing Yuan found the two of you, and he ended up explaining why you two probably feel the sense of familiarity and how you still somehow had the DNA of Blade.
You wanted to get to know your biological father, sure Jing Yuan will always by your "dad" as he's the one that took care of you for so long, but you had to get to know whoever was your biological one.
Blade was a bit uneasy on his end, on one hand he would like to know who you are but on the other hand, he'll be leaving eventually.
He did end up agreeing to catch up in a way. Jing Yuan allowed it and had a restaurant reserve a seat for the two of you. Tbh very awkward but you made it!
You two did catch up thankfully(?) Blade told you he's a Stellaron Hunter and you told him about being adopted by Jing Yuan. For some reason, Blade didn't like the fact you saw someone else as your father but he brushed it off.
I feel like Blade after that meeting would feel a wave of protectiveness over you. You are his kid, whether you view him as one or not, he's your biological father.
He, you and Jing Yuan agreed he'd be able to meet up with you. Even just as a hologram, though this will have to be kept secret from public as who knows would could happen if some people found out Jing Yuan was willingly letting a criminal meet with his kid?
Blade, even though he doesn't show it. Is a caring father to you and listens intently to whatever stories you say. And if you ever get a partner? Looks like they have to get the approval of 3 people. (Yanqing, Jing Yuan and Blade)
Writers block randomly left me after my recent post so I did this! Hopefully will finish the other requests soon

I know I said I didn’t want to theorize about the finale, but I just saw that in the episode 16 preview LG sheds a tear in his glorious outfit, all bloody and when it’s snowing. That means that is during the night of the treason...which he went back to with Jo Yeong. All I’m saying is JY BEST NOT DIE BC I CAN’T HANDLE THAT. That tear better not be for JY. (But I also don’t know what else LG would be crying for in that moment? He already saw his dad die so I wouldn’t think it’s tears from that. I don’t think it’s from watching himself die either.)

About the He Tain and him knowing stuff he shouldn't. I've had the idea that its not just Mr Jian who wants his son to take his place. The Manhwu also suggest that Mr He wants He Tian involved. On the boat it was made clear Mr He had been watching, and he expects a lot from He tian. Even if He Tian tries his best to distant himself. (On the boat it felt like MrHe was humoring him) So I don't think its to far off to say He Tian was involved to watch Jian yi unknowingly. Its not to far off 1/2
(cont. ask )2/2 to say or hint at He Tian that he needs to be friends with Jian. Or He cheng drops hints to kinda push He Tain in that directions. Because i don't think Mr Jian got ahold of He Cheng without going through Mr He first. Like it seems easier to have his son whos already being watched. Just add another Teen boy to that watch. At the start now its clear He tain has his own interest so now they have to get more people involved to watch Jian yi. ( I hope this made sense.)
Hello there. Yep, worry not, I get what you’re trying to say here (except for the boat part, IIRC there had been only young He Tian and He Cheng, so you might be referencing something else?).
I suppose my post made it sound ambiguous, but my beef with He Tian's "unexplainable" knowledge mostly pertained the attempted kidnapping of JY by HC and his goons, which was touched upon by the OP and which I meant by Mr Jian’s plans 😅. By that time, He Tian appears to have cut all the contact with his family, his father included. What's more, he seems to have been doing that for some time already, distancing himself from his previous life. He moved away, he seems hell-bent on never contacting neither his brother nor their dad. Even supposing that Mr He or He Cheng encouraged him to befriend JY in the past when HT, that still does not explain how present-day He Tian learned about the impending abduction and its details (time, location, etc), which is what I’m talking about in my reblog. He Cheng wouldn't have informed him (what's the point?), what's more, he looked hella surprised to see HT there. Mr He doesn't appear to contact He Tian directly. And if he does, why would he tell him about the kidnapping -- the operation was supposed to be clandestine? So while the theory that HT was supposed to look after Jian Yi could explain HT's perceived vaster knowledge regarding his friend's background, it still doesn't explain some of the immediate details -- the ones HT had no way of knowing after, well, rebelling against his family, ostensibly dropping out from their circle and moving out.

TRC ENTERTAINMENT TRIPLE THREAT CHALLENGE AUDITION BY HEO HYUNJOON song ; ONF - Original ( 1:22 - 3:17 ) outfit ; here & here
it’s nearing a year since the last time hyunjoon took part in something big for the music industry. in two short months it would be a year since the announcement for what he would come to consider his biggest waste of time. honestly, after the mistake that was mga4 hyunjoon really never saw himself doing something like this again. he wants to get signed somewhere yes, but he isn’t too sure he would put himself through the same thing. at least--not right now as he knows he has a long way to go before he’s really considered a good performer. while he’s sure his busking fans would disagree with him, he also knows they’re overly biased. hyunjoon also will probably never really be satisfied with his performing.
especially considering the pressure he sometimes feels having seungah as his cousin--miss cheri from luxe. shes been hitting new highs with each new comeback, her group recently having gotten their first win and all. hyunjoon likes to pretend he isn’t effected by this, that he would be the one to end up comparing himself to his cousin given their age difference and the fact she had been training long before he had even decided he wanted to be an idol.
but its hard not too when he hears them--her--every where. other buskers are always covering luxe, he walks into stores and one of their songs is playing. he see’s ads for them all around and of course his stan twitter account is always blowing up about luxe. his mom is always always gushing about her niece anytime she gets the chance to. playing the songs and watching whatever show one of the luxe girls might come on. she tells hyunjoon work hard and you can be there with her one day and hyunjoon takes that to heart.
it’s a lot of the reason he threw himself into practice once he was all cleared from the doctor. leaving school and going straight to a studio so he can sweat away the hours until he needs to go home only to wake up and repeat the routine the next day. telling himself the only way for him to get better is for him to work hard.
being a busker makes it easy for him to stay in top form and to keep on top of the new dances. he’s over a year now in orion and in that year hyunjoon has really picked up a skill for learning dances. he can figure out moves rather quickly and then its merely repetition to get them sharp and on time. on a good night he can learn a whole new dance, on a rough night he might learn half the dance. but generally, hyunjoon leaves practice with the knowledge of how the dance is to look and feel even if he doesn’t quiet have the sharpness--or fluidness--of the dance down yet. thats what hours and hours of practice is for.
and hours upon hours of practice is what he did when he heard about the trc challenge.
the triple threat challenge. he remembers watching the one that happened two years ago. remembers thinking how wild it must be to look for someone who is sufficient in all three of the main skills. thinking the company crazy for thinking any noob the find on the street would work.
yet now here he is kicking his own ass trying to win that title for himself. though, it’s not so much that hyunjoon see’s himself as a triple threat. he knows there is a lot he still needs to work on--skills he can improve upon--but he likes to think the last few months have really balances out his collection of skills. dancing has already always been his strongest thing, he’s a dancer as much as he is a chef now and the trick was just adding in vocal performances to his dancing.
when he was injured hyunjoon took to singing during busking since he couldn’t dance at that time. he gotten to speak with one of his dads old coworkers who worked with vocals and he gave hyunjoon some things to work on if he were serious about singing.
and then he befriended a strange man working in a noraebang who was apparently a rapper. and with yuto’s help, hyunjoon started working on rapping as well. rapping? cool as fuck, so why wouldn’t he want to learn. he had gone with singing originally because he supposed he had an alright voice and singing seemed more tame than rapping but. in the end, he really had wanted to learn rap.
when him and hyojeong planned their live performance of zero for conduct had been the real test for hyunjoon. the real question of can he see himself doing something similar to this for the rest of his life? and yeah, he can. it had been fun learning the song with her. learning dances with his best friend has always been great but there had been something so much more exciting about performing with her in that way. live singing and rapping while dancing? in the busy streets of hongdae where anyone could stop and judge? with no backing vocals? honestly, he had been scared shitless but they absolutely crushed the performance.
he focused that energy--that feeling--into the performance he was using for the triple threat audition. only hyojeong had gotten word of what he was doing but he hadn’t even showed her any bits of his performance. wanting it to be a surprise even to her.
as his name is called, hyunjoon heads up and gives a simple but cool greeting, a polite bow of course thrown in there somewhere but he was making sure his cool vibes could be noticed. it’s not hard, hyunjoon’s stoic nature and ability in fashion often do help him have a good vibe going on even if some he comes off as a cold cool he would accept that. his goal for this? his concept. was to show he can do more than one concept. which is why he walked onto stage and gave his greeting all cool and chill.
뭘 또 심각해 혼자만의 세상 속에 갇힌 채 빙빙 돌다 길을 잃어 You always be like that
괜찮은 척 하지만 귀찮은 척 하지만 아니잖아 아프잖아 더는 못 보겠어 jerk
his performance of choice though is a more chic cute vibe to it than anything. his song choice he felt really did help to showcase all three of the skills they were wanting. the song starts almost a minute and a half in with a vocal part, and then he gets to a rap portion before a more dance orientated section. the hardest part of this performance he chose was near the end after the dance segment there is a long higher note he has to old for a few seconds. a few hours has been dedicated to practicing that line alone and by the end of the night hyunjoon had really felt he would be able to nail it. it wouldn’t be too bad because he wasn’t dancing when holding this note.
천천히 널 일으켜 Follow me 날 따라와 숨 들이 마시고 내쉬고 겁먹을 것 없어 uh
시간은 항상 누구나 같아 거짓으로 살긴 아까워
Original wa woo woo Original wa woo woo
honestly, he worries he might be being a bit too bold with going onto stage and performing his whole song live while dancing. he knows they want to showcase all skills, and singing plus dancing at the same time is some thing pretty much every idol needs to be able to do. but hyunjoon only has a couple of years of dance under his belt--and only a year of singing--so maybe it was a bit much for him to do this.
but it’s not like this is his first time dancing and rapping/singing because it’s not. hyojeong and him spent months working on their zero for conduct performance and on top of that, hyunjoon had added singing into his normal practices to help with is stamina. he supposed that if he could dance and singing or rap to most of the songs that he busks with then he should be able to get it for any song. and maybe he had been on to something.
Ah yeah JY 세상은 무한의 색으로 칠해지길 원해 모두가 마음껏 끝없이 빛 나도 돼 Red yellow green uh 네가 그린 그림 그거면 돼 눈을 가렸던 그 안대를 풀어 잠그던 마음을 반대로 풀어 아무도 우릴 신경 쓰지 않아 just dance
through out his performance, hyunjoon makes sure to channel the energy he has when he’s busking. the facial expressions and dancing adlibs with always seem to make the fans go wild. he throws in peace signs where they fit, and some cool finger hearts when the moment calls for it. it was only around the main chorus of the dance did his voice come off more breathy but luckily this song he chose didn’t have much in the way of singing when it comes to the chorus. his rap is the cleanest part of his whole performance which was thanks to all the work he put into zero for conduct as his part for that song was very intense rapping so hyunjoon was really starting to get the hang of it.
Original Yeah yeah Original All right
as the song comes to an end, he falls back into the cool concept he had walked onto stage with. ending his performance with a stoic look and a calm facade as if he hadn’t just danced all cutely and full of energy. hoping his concept of showing his duality would give him a bit of an edge. regardless, as hyunjoon walks off he feels... content with his performance.
이 세상은 생각보다 아주 작고 넌 그보다 커 숨기지 마 너의 모든 걸 보여줘 그대로의 너
he knows he has a ways to go with his skills and maybe he’ll never reach seungah noonas level. but maybe thats okay, they’re different performers after all.
and at the end of it all.
he had a lot of fun on that stage.
