#character: wn

[iridescentoracle]

#I definitely think there's interesting things to write about in terms of WQ treating WN like a perpetual child #which is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT a thing that happens when you're an older sibling who raises a younger one #and eventually the younger sibling grows up and is ready to be an adult and be treated like one #and I would LOVE to read about how WN establishes himself a little more forcefully in situations #like this one where there are so many layers to his anger and his choices #acknowledging that he's angry that WQ died and angry at JC for do not doing anything about that is GREAT #but I wonder if he looks at an ignorant helpless younger sibling and is maybe projecting a little bit in terms of the #it's YOUR fault your older sibling got fucked over #since he's obviously still guilty about the past (which from his perspective is barely a couple months ago) #and WQ went to Jinlintai to protect him and the rest of the Dafan Wens like she always had #and no matter the miracles he's witnessed in the last few months she's STILL dead #and he's maybe got a little...the irony of wanting to write 'survivor's guilt' for a zombie but that's what I'm thinking #basically no siblings in this show have a balanced view of reality #I'm sorry and thank you #looks like he would carry 1 bowl of soup up a mountain to feed a child. would carry 1 bowl of soup up a mountain to feed a child (via cortue)

Wen Ning is indeed very shy and awkward and sweet but I feel like fic writers sometimes lean into that too hard? Even setting aside the fierce corpse/berserker killing machine part. He committed treason and dragged his sister into it without asking her first. He delivered one of the most pinpoint effective (and honestly kind of underhanded) verbal attacks in the story. (Not only revealing the golden core transplant but framing it as proof of Jiang Cheng’s inferiority, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense actually but which Jiang Cheng, predictably, bought into immediately. Jiang Cheng was the aggressor in that fight but Wen Ning was fighting dirty.)

Keep Your Shirt On is a White Noise minicomic about being transgender, giving away secret family recipes, and making zines. I completed it recently and I'm proud of it so I thought I would post it separately!

It's also on my site here, and if you'd like to read the whole comic featuring these characters (and more queer monsters) you can start here. Please mind the warnings on the About page!

forever in pain that people call mdzs a story about gray morality when the book goes out of its way to point out in very black and white terms that wei wuxian and lan wangji are among the only truly good and righteous people in the cast

[sonik-kun]

Me watching the MDZS donghua, seeing Wen Ning for the first time: "Why that zombie kinda 👁️🫦👁️"

[atqh16]

Me watching the GCR: I think Wen Ning gets to be a little petty. As a treat.

Alcoholic

Submission:

[Alcoholic] woke up in the body of a guy on Earth some years in the past and decided(read got forced) to go into the entertainment industry.  This guy egosurfs a lot, was an alcoholic and got an intervention for it. Plus he goes to therapy!! Also got kidnapped once and escaped by beating up the kidnapper . There was also the one time he went into a parallel universe.

Mod Propaganda: [Alcoholic] (seemingly) starts the novel with a “I’ll do anything to survive” mindset but grows to genuinely care about and for his friends while dealing with a LOT. He’s smart and calculating, which also manifests itself in supporting his friends and the people around him AS WELL AS himself.

Boccia

Submission (Edited to remove identifying info): 

He’s a demon. He wanders the human realm to find little human trinkets, possibly to sell them. He is a good boy who wants to make a living, and deserves to be acknowledged.

Farmer Guy

Submission: [Farmer Guy] was reborn in a xianxia world after living a boring life as a civic engineer in Canada. He spent about 24 hours in a cultivation sect before quitting due to bullying and corruption in the sect, and decided to move to bumfuck nowhere to take up farming instead. After all, superstrenght & endurance makes it way easier to pull a plow, put up buildings & so on. So why is his chicken starting to do martial arts?

Moonlight

Submission: 

[Moonlight] is the boy of all time. From his perspective, he successfully scouted out a talented new coworker, got blatantly propositioned while the ink was still wet on the contract, thought "wow, this guy is forward, but we really need his skills so... okay," within a month had fully progressed to, "it's fine to get married first and fall in love later," and then just. fell SO HARD. for a guy who, in his own POV sections, HAD NO IDEA his behavior even could be interpreted as flirty. For his actual character, the gap moe between "doting thinks-he's-a-boyfriend" and "super serious taskmaster" is adorable. 

RPF Guy

Submission: [RPF Guy] is an interesting little guy. He reads RPF of his friends/associates/strangers and decides that his love interest is actually pretty stupid and bullies her but he ends up doing her a solid (making her not end up with her first love interest) because he’s like “damn I owe this idiot karmically”

Sunshine

Submission: 

My sunshine son!! Got isekai'd into another world pretty similar to his original one, and basically just went "welp, time to restart my career from the bottom! I did it once, I can do it again!"  Re: the differences from his original world, he straight-up just asks people questions and takes notes in front of them? And when they're like "how do you not know this, this is preschool level knowledge," he just laughs and goes, "yeah, I'm really forgetful and didn't pay attention in school." Iconic, honestly. Still doesn't stop him from mistaking social cues so thoroughly that he  accidentally gets into a romantic relationship without realizing it, due to having multiple chicken-and-duck conversations with his would-be boyfriend. (He got into the situation by basically propositioning the guy without noticing, having not paid attention to the social differences between worlds.)

Poor Single Dog

Submission: 

[Poor Single Dog]! My brilliant dumbass son! He's so book smart, yet can't see what's right in front of his face. He's really concerned about losing his Best Friend Status when the protags start spending time together (read: going out, because they're in love). There is no level of PDA he can't misunderstand as mere friendship. When he FINALLY gets hit by a clue-by-four (read: walks in on the main couple cuddling while doing the dishes, and one of them says, quote, "This is EXACTLY what it looks like!") his reaction is: [Poor Single Dog] remained silent for what seemed like a century. Finally, amidst his chaotic thoughts, he said: “You….so….then, am I still your best friend?”
