Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤

Amazingly, I got two of these in a very short timespan, so I'm answering both, because that way I get to gush about even more of my fics! Isn't that a delight! Here's another five heheh:

Reconnections: Guardian, mostly Weilan-centric. A post-canon fix-it AU case- and whump-fic about the scars left behind by the war against Ye Zun and the war 10.000 years ago. Scars in Weilan's relationship, in the lives and community of Dixingren living in Haixing, and in the fabric of the universe itself.

twi(n)light: Guardian. Recounts the story of Shen Wei and Chu Shuzhi meeting, getting to know each other, and eventually getting to be friends.

But pursue no regrets: DMBJ, TLTR, Pangxie-centric. About what they found at the museum and the weather station and its aftermath. About dying and living.

Kaleidoscope: Guardian, Li Qian-centric. The story of Li Qian figuring out her sexuality, and Shen Wei being the kindest professor in the known universe.

Of stars and city lights and sun (of all the lights that lead us home): QZGS, Xiao Shiqin/Sun Xiang, falling in love one step at a time.

Thanks so much for sending me this!! I always love doing these <333

While I wait for new episodes of Fangs Of Fortune and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy to be subtitled and released, I've decided to go watch Love You Seven Times, and after just two episodes, I can already feel it's going to be equal parts silly and funny, and painful and angsty. It's so camp and funny, but there's hints of a darker story too. I'm intrigued. And my boy Ding Yuxi looks fine as hell.

Apparently the original novel is from the same author as Love Between Fairy and Devil, and that one has an unbreakable grip on me, so I'm expecting Dongfang Qingcang/Xiao Lanhua levels of animosity, pining, angst and fluff between Chu Kong and Xiang Yun. No, I'm still not over Cang Lan Jue.

Edit: went through the tag, 'cause as you know you cannot get spoiled in a cdrama tag, and yep. It's going to destroy me as surely as LBFAD or TTEOTM did. Let's goooo, I love angst.

[lostintherealmsofthefandoms]

I was playing around in a height comparison site and decided to share some comparisons...

MXTX's mc and ml

Xie Lian - 178 (he's the shortest, I thought he was taller)

Hua Cheng - 190 (the tallest boy)

Wei Wuxian - 186 (in his first life, pretty tall I hink)

Lan Zhan - 188 (not much different between them in the first life)

Luo Binghe - 188 (I was certain he would be taller, he's the same height than Lan Zhan)

Shen Qingqiu - 184 (I think that in his first life as Shen Yuan he was shorter but who knows, couldn't find anything on it)

Me next to them cause why not

2ha version

Mon Ran - 189 (that kind dork gigant puppy)

ChuWanning - 180 ( Mo Ran is way taller)

Shi Mei - 183 (I forget how tall he actually is)

Xue Meng - 178 (I tried find Mei Hanxues height to put near him but couldn't find)

Me with them

It's always nice to suffer a little bit with Immortality/hyx:

Luo Yunxi - 177 (he's shorter than Chu Wanning)

Chen Feiyu - 188 (he's just 1cm shorter than Mo Ran.)

Me with my Yizhan so I know how much will I have to look up when I meet them

Wang Yibo - 182

Xiao Zhan - 184 (their different of height is so little)

Me with my crush boys

Luo Yunxi - 177 (the shortest meow)

Li Dai Kun - 181 (the tallest from my boys)

Pedro Pascal - 179 (I do think is an average male signed height as he said)

Johnny Depp - 178 (no as tall as I thought he was)

Me with my crush girls

Zhou Ye - 165 (5 inch taller than me)

Ni Ni - 170 (my girl is tall)

Avril Lavigne - 165 (I thought she was shorter actually, she looks so short, how do I look than?!?!)

Helena Bonham Carter - 157 (she must be the same height that my mom, I thought she was my height, she's shorter than me!!!!)

Bonus! The characters of my W.I.P

Neven - 180 (in his first life, the mc, inspired by shi mei, shi qing xuan and binghe)

Laoh - 187 (kind dorky giant too, inspired by shen qingqiu and dean winchester, the ml)

Milek - 181 (he's inspired in Chu Wanning I think, is the second ml)

Mo Guan - 168 (inspired by a-xiang I can only see her as Zhou Ye)

Nia - 165 (mystic girl with white hair revealed to me in a dream)

Vys - 160 (short boy, twin of the above, also came to me in a dream)

Costume Cdramas I watched in 2023

This was my first year in Dramaland (both Chinese and Korean). And I have to say that for the most part I have enjoyed my journey in discovering the dramas. This list includes dramas that were released before 2023 as well.

7. Starry Love

It is a story of twin sisters - the gentle and kind Liguang Qing Kui and the smart and cunning Liguang Ye Tan. Qing Kui is betrothed to the heveanly prince and Ye Tan is betrothed to the demon prince however mistakenly they switch places and have to navigate the heavenly realm and demon realm alone relying on their wits. For me the strongest aspect of the drama was the bond between the sisters. It focuses more on the romance of Ye Tan and Xuan Shang and the heavenly realm which I was not much interested in so I skipped through a lot of it. However, I did enjoy the romance of Qing Kui and Chao Feng and the demon realm story which was unfortunately not given enough screen time. As the heavenly realm part of the drama failed to get me invested in both its characters and story, I didn't enjoy this drama a lot.

6. Love you Seven Times

Xiang Yun, a fairy working in the marriage pavilion and Chu Kong, the God of War are accidentally entangled by the red thread of fate and go through love tribulations. I enjoyed their romance and the story was also good. However, I feel it would have turned out better if the drama had more episodes so that the tribulations could be more immersive and impactful. Also, it had less action than I expected from a Xianxia. It was still a fun watch for me.

5. Ancient Love Poetry

This is an epic story of gods and love spanning thousands of years. I will not even attempt to give a primer for its story. The romance, story, action everything is great and it also has really good secondary romances and friendships are also good. The problem I had with this drama is that I enjoyed the first God realm arc a lot however in the second arc I couldn't get fully invested in Houchi and Qing Mu. Also, as a novice to xianxias I had some trouble following the story from the second arc onwards which meant I couldn't enjoy it as much. I still consider it a must watch for xianxia fans but its not for newbies that's for sure.

P.S.- I was devastated with Yue Mi's death so I'm happy that we'll be getting the continuation of her story with Moonlight Mystique.

4. Love between Fairy and Devil

It is a drama about Orchid, a low ranking fairy and Dongfang Qing Cang, the Moon Supreme of the Moon Tribe who are enemies of the immortal fairies, and their forbidden romance. The romance (of both the main and second couple) is really good, the story is compelling and the dynamic between the main and secondary cast is enjoyable. I found the action somewhat lacking. This is a really enjoyable drama especially for those getting into xianxias as the story while not simple, is easy to follow.

3. Romance between Tiger and Rose

In this drama, Chen Xiao Qian, a screenwriter transported into her own story, becoming the Third Princess Chen Qian Qian, a side character. Armed with the knowledge of her own script in which her character is soon to be killed in the third episode by Prince Han Shuo, the male lead, Xiao Qian is determined to stay alive and return to her own world. It is an excellent romcom with great chemistry and fun bickering between the main leads. While the story is straight forward for the most part, it does offer some commentary on gender discrimination and gender norms. It is a really fun and a must watch and has great rewatch value.

2. Story of Kunning Palace

Jiang Xuening is the selfish and ambitious daughter of a court official who ruthlessly uses her charm and cunning for becoming empress. Her schemes lead to the downfall of the royal family and the ruin of both her childhood sweetheart Yan Lin and the once incorruptible Zhang Zhe. Desperate and full of regret, she pleads to exchange her life for the freedom of Zhang Zhe. She awakens in her 18-year old self, who has yet to enter the palace with a chance to do better this time. Even though she vows to steer clear of the palace and its court intrigues, she becomes entangled in them anyways. Apart from Jiang Xue Ning the main cast includes : Xie Wei - JXN's teacher and a ruthless political mastermind, Zhang Zhe - an upright and dedicated officer in the Ministry of Justice, Yan Lin - loyal heir of the Yan family who is in love with JXN, Shen Zhi Yi - the optimistic and resilient princess. It’s so rare for a drama to combine so many great things - a competent and smart female lead, gripping script, top tier looks, chemistry (with the male lead and the secondary leads), steady pace, no childishness, very happy ending. All the actors did an amazing job, in particular Bai Lu who embodied JXN and depicted her thoughts and feelings in a way that the audience could connect with JXN and root for her. The character arcs for the entire main cast were satisfying and done beautifully. I only wished that they showed the past life in one go and with some more scenes for JXN's character growth to be more impactful and that they removed the bright spotlight aimed directly at the camera which took me out of those scenes. This is definitely a must watch for costumed cdrama lovers.

1. Till the end of the moon

Li Susu, an immortal time travels 500 years into the past to prevent the ascension of the Devil god, who goes on to destroy the world in the future. It's a story of love and hate, good and evil, redemption and damnation. The characters are very well conceptualized and depicted beautifully by talented actors, stunning costumes, really good hair and makeup, and great cinematography. The amazing production and set design along with impressive visual effects and CGI really immerse the audience in the world of TTEOTM. Their romance is my ultimate enemies to lovers pairing. It has just the right amount of fighting, messiness, animosity and angst for me. Their visuals, their chemistry, their acting and the story everything was so great. Who else has three epic weddings in one drama? For the most part the story was gripping, progressed at a good pace and conveyed many themes that become apparent on rewatches. While some were disappointed by the ending to me it was clear that they reunite once again and live happily. I am still not able to move on from this couple and drama.

Full Review of Till the end of the moon here.

As I'm still a newbie to cdramas, I welcome your recommendations.

great beauties of danmei

In most danmei novels, at least one partner from the main couple is one of the greatest beauties, or good-looking enough to be an actor or celebrity. I thought it would be fun to write about a few great beauties whose reputation for beauty have really left an impression on me.

(All artwork in this post are from the audiodramas.)

from historical danmei: Shen Zechuan from Qiang Jin Jiu

古风大美人：沈泽川 《将进酒》

李建恒魂不守舍地念着：“你可没跟我说过，他长这个模样……” Li Jianheng mutters as if entranced, "You never told me, that he looks like this ..."

No one left an impression on me quite like Shen Zechuan, who has a smile worth more than thousand teals of gold, according to his boyfriend. Everyone who has ever met him can't help but praise his appearance, from seasoned playboy Li Jianheng to serious general Qi Zhuyin; even semi-reluctant future father-in-law Xiao Fangxu has to agree that he is stunning.

Shen Zechuan gets his looks from his late mother, who is also famed for her beauty. Even decades after her death, people remember her and can recognize her son based on the similarity. Their resemblance draws out old acquaintances to unveil her backstory, which becomes an important clue to the current plight facing our heroes. Literally advancing the plot with his beauty has seared Lanzhou's reputation into my mind.

from fantasy danmei: Pheonix aka Chu He from Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

玄幻大美人：凤凰 aka 楚河 《提灯映桃花》

“你不录吗？”李湖一边咳血一边道，“你哥的法相被称作天道十大美景之一，很难得呢。”说着艰难的打开微信开始发朋友圈。 "Aren't you recording?" Li Hu says while coughing up blood. "Your brother's canonical form is known as one of the Ten Most Beautiful Sights in Heaven, it's a very rare treat." With great difficulty, she opens WeChat while she talks, and starts posting to her shared Moments.

Pheonix's admirers range from a Wisdom King in Heaven to the Demon Venerable in Hell. He is so beautiful that there is an entire affair every time he shows his true form in the human world, and he doesn't hesitate to use it to his advantage. One time he shows up in his true form to rile up an entire bar so he can slip a drugged drink to his (ex?) husband. Another time he shows his true form to humans hoping to win a bet, but the human is too stunned by his beauty and fainted.

Even his friends and coworkers rush to get photos of him. In one of those instances he is a literal baby phoenix, which is a incredible sight in of itself as well.

from modern danmei: Yan Mingxiu from Professional Body Double

现代大美人：晏明修 《职业替身》

陈英看周翔和蔡威都在看对面的广告，她也看了看，然后赞叹道：“怎么一个男孩子能长得这么好看呢，太好看了。” Chen Ying sees that Zhou Xiang and Cai Wei are both looking at the ad across from them. She also takes a look, and exclaims, "How can a boy be this good-looking, far too beautiful."

Even after years of working alongside beautiful celebrities, Zhou Xiang is immediately drawn to Yan Mingxiu's good looks during their first meeting. Anytime anyone comments on his appearance, it's definitely an amazed compliment. In-universe, Yan Mingxiu becomes a famous actor who isn't very expressive or good at (or even enjoy) acting, which has led the fandom to conclude that he must have earned his fame by coasting on his extremely good looks.

The author herself has crowned Yan Mingxiu as the best-looking out of her 188 Club. If he can beat out Chinese-German mixed-race superstar pop singer Song Juhan (from Years of Intoxication), then his face must be something truly special.

bonus: most contested couple in danmei : Chu Mingyun vs Su Shiyu from Jun You Ji Fou

各有千秋：楚明允 vs 苏世誉 《君有疾否》

“楚爱卿虽也漂亮，但眉眼太妖冶艳丽，不是朕喜欢的那种。” “Chu-aiqing is also beautiful, but his features are too provocative and glamorous, which is not the type I like."

Chu Mingyun's reputation for beauty is well-known in the Capital, inspiring even men to lust after him. People meeting him are often shocked that the famed general is beautiful like a woman. A visiting princess nicknames him "Beautiful Gege" right off the bat, and even Su Shiyu himself calls Chu Mingyun an extraordinary beauty.

However, when compared to Su Shiyu, there is definitely room for debate. The Emperor thinks Su Shiyu has the most beautiful face conceivable, but concedes that Chu Mingyun is also beautiful though his features are too flamboyant for his taste. (I will never not laugh at the conversation above in which he says this to CMY's face.) Noblewoman Lu Qinghe prefers Chu Mingyun, feeling that Su Shiyu's kind of beauty feels too distant and untouchable. I can only conclude they are both breathtaking but in very different ways.

tmia omegaverse headcanons

Several headcanons to my TKA/QZGS fic the moon in autumn:

By the League’s Season 9,

Fang Rui is a member of three packs: blood pack (permanent), original Wind Howl (permanent: Lin Jingyan and Ruan Yongbin) pack, and Fifth Gen pack (permanent: Zhou Zekai and Wu Yuce).

Ye Xiu is a member of three packs: blood pack (permanent), Su siblings (permanent), and Happy (unofficial/unformed). He is also a former member of the original Excellent Era pack (including Tao Xuan).

The non-betas in the Alliance:

Alphas: Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, Qiao Yifan (Happy), Wang Jiexi (Tiny Herb), Huang Shaotian, Zheng Xuan (Blue Rain), Zhou Zekai (Samsara), Sun Xiang (Excellent Era) 

Omegas: Fang Rui (Wind Howl), Mo Fan, Wei Chen (Happy), Zhang Xinjie (Tyranny), Chu Yunxiu (Misty Rain), Dai Yanqi (Thunderclap)

(Blue Rain lost their omegas to Happy XDD)

The teams that are also packs in the Alliance:

The official pack in the Alliance: Blue Rain (with pack leader Huang Shaotian), former Wind Howl (with pack leader Lin Jingyan)

The unofficial packs in the Alliance: Happy (with pack leader Ye Xiu), Thunderclap (with pack leader Xiao Shiqin), Samsara (with pack leader Zhou Zekai), Void (with pack leader Wu Yuce), and Tyranny (with pack leader Han Wenqing)

Character Scents/Pheromones:

Fang Rui: Lemon. This scent is picked for Fang Rui due to the proverb “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. Because canon Fang Rui is very good at this, and this is a trait that remains despite the curveball life thrown him that is his secondary gender in this universe. It’s also a good fit for the Sharp in his name, because lemon scent can be very sharp in certain conditions, while in others it can be a clean, refreshing scent. Look at his sincere eyes! Ultimately it’s a scent or taste not for everyone and that’s the way Fang Rui is and he himself prefers.

Ye Xiu: Tea. This scent is picked for Ye Xiu because it’s traditional. Traditional can mean old-fashioned, but it can also mean that it has strong roots or foundation. And Ye Xiu has this in abundance, it’s his greatest strength. He cannot achieve all his titles: Battle God, Glory Textbook and Master Tactician, and fully utilized the Unspecialized Lord Grim if he doesn’t have strong, solid foundation. And tea can be mixed and turned into anything, traditional and modern snacks, food and beverages. It’s also good for health. Basically it can be turned into anything while not losing its unique taste.  Not to mention the scent is ordinarily not overbearing. This is not unlike Ye Xiu himself.

Meanwhile I haven’t really thought the scent for others. It’ll be nice if there is someone to brainstorm with.

Book 24, 2024

Having now read a bit more of priest's work, I am pleased to understand the dynamic she favours for her main characters is "what if I made a golem of red flags and then I made a golem of DIFFERENT red flags and then I made them kiss with blood?" and I have nothing but respect for her.

The more I read of Guardian, the more the wild I realize the censorship dance done by the drama was. How DOES one solve the problem of a key supporting character who is a convicted killer and eater of children? It's an LSAT-level dilemma.

Volume 2 features the merit brush arc, the inherent homoeroticism of a colleague becoming blind, Kunlun's backstory which for some reason doesn't involve ANY time travel portals, the origins of Shen Wei's totally healthy feelings, and Chu Shuzhi's backstory. Xiao Guo, unsurprisingly, has a bad time throughout, as is his lot in life. It really cements priest as the go-to author to fill the void left by finishing all of Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's novels. She understands all the hot dudes fucking in the world means nothing if there isn't little a cannibalism.

As a treat.

For me.

... I may not be the target audience for this genre.
