Daci Lien - 🍧 SHAVED ICE - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it?

She's got some of her first weaving and embroidery projects from when she was younger. They aren't very good, but she likes to look at them to remind herself of how far she's come with her practice. If she lost them she wouldn't be heartbroken or anything, but she'd be really sad.

Theo Crain | Canon ; Kate Siegel ; 36 in the show, currently 42 ; Lesbian ; Cis Woman, She/Her | Middle sibling in the Crain clan, Theo was always... more sensitive to certain things than her siblings were, and that sensitivity only heightened during their stay at Hill House in the summer of 1992, where she and her four siblings were left traumatized by the sudden death of their mother Olivia. As an adult, Theo obtained her phD with royalties from her brother Steven's books, and now works with children.

Nell Crain | Canon-ish ; Victoria Pedretti ; 32 in the show, currently 38 in aus ; Bisexual ; Cis Woman, She/Her | Youngest of the Crain clan, Nell had been a happy child until that fateful summer of '92, plagued thereafter of dreams of a Bent-Neck Lady, not knowing until it was too late who she was.

Jennifer Check | Canon Divergent ; Shay Mitchell ; 16 in the movie, 31 currently ; Bisexual with a fem lean ; Cis Woman, She/Her | Satanic sacrifice by your favorite boy band is sooo not a good way to die, but luckily Jennifer lied about being a virgin when Nikolai Wolf asked. Not so luckily, the ritual used turns any non virgins sacrificed into demons, feeding off of fear and flesh to maintain their vitality, much like a twisted succubus. After boys began to go missing, Jennifer’s best friend researched what could have happened to her that fateful night, eventually taking action against her. Somehow, Jennifer survived Needy’s attempt, and fled Devil’s Kettle, where she opted to find more… deserving prey.

Happy Mother's Day to Daci Lien, Pan Shui, Wang Longnu, Gu Dasao, Sun Erniang, Xia Dandan, and best mom Sun Hai! And also Omi's robot mom I suppose.

They're all best moms!! Every last one of them loves their children and are respected for all they are and all they so.

Robo Crud can go suck expired oil slag tho

I'm technically a day late but Happy Qixi festival! Does Shambhala have the Qixi festival? It's connected to the cowherd and weaver girl so I'd imagine yes?

If so, what would Fei/Hai do to celebrate? Something super cheesy and sweet? How about the other couples from Omi's family? Can we get some cute happy funny stories/headcanons from back when they were still, uh... alive and being cute and happy and funny?

Oh! I didn't even realize til you pointed it out, anon! Happy belated Qixi Festival! And yeah, I definitely think that they have their own version of the festival!

I think the festival is something celebrated village-wide. Basically a big old party celebration where newlyweds and longtime couples alike celebrated their love. Because of their unique version of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl story, I think they have some traditions unique to the village. One of which being sort of a couples walk. Two volunteers stand on either side of Mazu River, holding a rope between them. Then one of the couple will cross through the river to the other side, where their partner is waiting with a towel to dry them off. Sort of symbolic of the journey the Cowherd took every year to meet the Weaver Girl, and how the Weaver Girl took care to greet and thank her husband for making the journey to see her. Another common game done for fun in Shambhala is that married women will set out pieces of their embroidery work and see if their husbands can discern which ones their wives made. It's not an especially serious competition, and it's not uncommon for the wives to play jokes on their husbands by copying the embroidery styles of their friends to dupe them into picking the wrong ones on purpose just to razz them.

Pretty common in the village for people to give the women and girls of their families hair accessories and combs, or toys for the younger girls. For the men it's common for them to be given alcohol (for the adults) or toys (for the boys), though it's also not uncommon for some of the older end of the boys on the scale to be snuck a sip or two of the alcohol for the occasion. Unmarried couples will usually give each other black chicken feathers (natural or dyed) as gifts, representing magpie feathers.

Qiaoguo is a common treat. A lot of fish shapes, but birds are another common image for the treats because of the magpie part of the story. Lots of fresh fruits are shared on the occasion, a regular unofficial festival game ends up being a competition where people see how far they can spit the fruit seeds (Omi's great grandma Lien is the longest running unbeaten record holder in the village).

One year when they were teenagers, two of the rope holders were Fei's friends, and he concocted a plan to impress Hai by having them hold the rope taut so he could tightrope walk across the river. He got halfway across before he stumbled headfirst into the river, splashing Hai in the process. But instead of getting mad when he made his way sheepishly to shore, she just tackled him into the river and splashed at him playfully. That year the tradition turned into a water fight, but no one was particularly mad about it.

Back when they were younger, Boqin and Lien would end the night's festivities by slipping away so they could watch the stars together up on the mountain. Instead of the usual gifts, Lien would make him scarves and hats so he wouldn't be too cold when he went up in the colder months to stargaze. Boqin, who's a dab hand at whittling, would carve wooden combs and hair accessories for her that looked like snowflakes.

No matter how hard she tried to trick him, Zhenwu has never once failed to recognize which needlework was Shui's in that particular festival game.

The first time Xi and Dasao tested out the wheelchair they made for him in public was at one of the festivals. One of the wheels ended up cracking due to a miscalculation on its construction, but they still had a good time together, with Dasao helping him around by carrying him. And they were right back to working on it again the next day to make sure that didn't repeat itself.

Shancai and Longnu kept the last gifts Dandan and Niu ever gave each other during the Qixi festival. They made sure to put them onto their shrine every year so the two can join them in spirit.

Erniang's first ever gift to Qing during a Qixi festival was a flower crown, because her original gift idea ended up not working out. It ended up being a tradition between them in the end, with him picking her a bouquet of flower and her making a crown to give him when he gave her the bouquet.

Rose: What do they look for in a romantic partner?

Daci Lien

Lien's type is strong and kind. She actually fell for her eventual husband Boqin when he helped her care for a sick chicken of hers as a child, she was 12 and he was 14. When he learned something was wrong with it, he had her hold the chicken, picked her up in his arms, and ran all the way back to his place to take care of it. She was smitten with him from then on.

👁️ - what do they fear the most? what mundane fears [spiders, darkness, etc.] do they have?

Daci Lien

Lien has never been much afraid of the usual things that other people are afraid of. Now that she's gotten older, though, and things have happened in life as they do, her one big fear is that any of her children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren will pass away before her. It was supremely hard on her to lose both Niu and Dandan so close together. She doesn't ever want to experience that kind of heartbreak again.

[writerkatsblog]

💓 - what's something small that holds great signifigance to them? why?

Liu Boqin

After they got married and started living in the same household, Boqin's wife, Lien, gave him a patchwork quilt with stars sewn and embroidered into it. Because of how he'd told her that he was fascinated by looking at the stars on the mountain above the village.

The quilt is long since worn down, and there's not much of it left because it's seen so much use over their marriage. But Boqin still keeps one small scrap of a corner tucked away for safekeeping.

Larkspur: How do they feel about their home country?

Daci Lien

Lien has lived in Shambhala all her life and isn't really aware of anything going on in China as a whole. But in general she likes where she lives and appreciates the cultural traditions she'd grown up in.

[writerkatsblog]

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?

Boqin

When looking up at the sky in Shambhala, Boqin always thinks about the stars up above, since he would sneak out to look at them when he was younger. He'd think about how much prettier the sky looked with them, and that he wished they had stars down below. Sometimes, when he could convince her, Lien would come with him and they'd stargaze together as a young couple.

16. How do other characters in the story view them?

Xia Dandan and Liu Niu

By this point, Dandan and Niu have been dead for over twenty years, so the only people who remember them with any clarity are the people who were their same age or older.

Fei, Hai, and all of their siblings have no clear memories of the two of them. Though Fei has been told all sorts of things about his biological parents, so that he at least knew about them, by his aunt and uncle/his adoptive parents. He's sad he never got to know them, but he's grateful that they had him and would've liked to have gotten to know them. But is happy he at least has the memories his adoptive parents have shared with him.

Dandan and Longnu were best friends since childhood, and basically considered themselves sisters in all but blood. And they were both thrilled to have had children so close together. Especially since Dandan was a good aunt to Jinmu. Longnu was devastated when Dandan passed just after Fei was born, and decided fairly quickly that she'd do all she could to make Fei feel like one of their family. It was heartbreaking for her to see Niu wither after his wife passed, and even sadder when he died when Fei was barely two or three. Which only steeled her resolve to care for Fei in their place.

Shancai and Niu were thick as thieves growing up. Shancai was the older brother by a couple of years, but Niu was always looking out for him, and even encouraged him to go for it when he learned his brother was interested in his future wife, Longnu. After Dandan passed, Shancai grieved with his wife and brother for her loss, and Niu moved in with his brother's family because he didn't want his grieving to affect Fei's upbringing. Though he tried not to overstep in a paternal figure because he didn't want to make Niu feel bad about being unable to care fully for his son. And then Niu passed a few years after, and Shancai dedicated himself as Fei's father, and wanted to make sure his brother's memory wouldn't be lost to his son.

Hai's parents Zhenwu and Shui weren't close friends with either of them, but they were saddened to hear when both of them passed so soon after their son was born. In a small place like Shambhala, grief is something that everyone shares when someone passes.

Lien and Boqin were heartbroken to lose them, because Niu was one of their precious sons and Dandan was basically a daughter to them after she married into the family. By now the grief has waned, and at the end of it they're happy that Shancai and Longnu made efforts to make sure neither were unknown by their son.
