Ok while he is not my OTP for Yin Yu (QuanYin will always have my heart), I actually think He Xuan x Yin Yu is such an interesting pairing and I like to think of scenarios for them. Like that ship is just something, and I am here for it

But I recently found out that their ship name is Black Moon and hello??? That is such a pretty name?? That ship name alone makes me ship them more tbh. I always called them YinXuan/XuanYin in my head

SHIP ALIGNMENT GAME

BINGQIU: Makes Sense/Compels Me - Stable

You know, I might be a 79 main in SV fandom, but honestly that's just because their specific flavor of angst compels me more than any other ship in the fandom. Were it not for that, I would 1000% be a BingQiu main. Makes Sense: In a meta sense especially, but also in an in-universe sense. Obviously, they are the main CP of the novel, their story is the fulcrum around which the narrative revolves. In that way alone, it makes sense as a ship. The characters' personalities, stories, and trajectories in-universe also make this ship make sense. It makes sense they end up together. Personally, I actually find it rather hard to ship a different pairing as long as SY!QQ and LBM are in the same universe together, because of the way they gravitate toward and around one another, but... that's beside the point. Compels Me: Their dynamic is incredibly juicy. If you just take things at surface level, you can get the idea of some kind of toxic, imbalanced, or codependent relationship (as a matter of fact, that's how many of the characters in-universe also view them at first) and not without good reason! However, digging deeper into the layers beneath it and taking a look at the progression of the relationship itself into the aftermath, the extras, you start to see a different picture. They have their flaws, but both SQQ and LBH learn and grow as people both apart from, because of, and through their relationship, and after the story ends too. I've written several pieces of meta about these two and their relationship, and what makes it so juicy is the way that it is not healthy in the beginning, but becomes that way later on. Stable: Gotta add a third category, because some ships I think are logical to ship, compelling to me, but are also unstable and toxic "ships" that I personally wouldn't classify as romantic even while shipping them. Bingqiu, of course, are not one of those-- unless you're solely looking at the early part of their post-abyss relationship. It's not stable in the beginning at all, both parties having their issues with communication and trust-- however, I actually would consider their endgame relationship very stable because of the fact that they actually worked through things, built a stronger foundation, and grew beyond it.

QIN WANYUE/LITTLE PALACE MISTRESS (XIAO-GONGZHU): Kind Of Makes Sense/Compels Me - Unstable

I've never actually thought about this ship before but I AM thinking about it now. Kind Of Makes Sense: This is an interesting one, it does make some level of sense to ship from a meta perspective-- the dynamic between the two characters in a shipping-sense would be rather interesting, even though the characters themselves are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things, making it unlikely-- but it's a bit more of a toss-up in universe. In PIDW-verse, you have the entire meta idea of Bing-ge's harem, where... based on the genre and narrative reasons they probably wouldn't get together. In SV-verse, it's... potentially more likely, but still unlikely as I doubt there would be many feelings blossoming between them. Either way, I don't really view the canon dynamic between them as one that would foster a true romance, nor do I think there is enough resentment and tension between them specifically in canon to breed a more toxic one. While Xiao-gongzhu's more spoiled, domineering personality and Qin Wanyue's somewhat subtle, manipulative nature are interesting contrasts to think about, their goals, intentions, and the way they interact in canon doesn't read, to me, as particularly shippy, if that makes sense. Compels Me: This is where my personal interest in the contrast between their personalities would make me interested in the ship. I'm an annoying person who spends way too much time thinking about what's canon-accurate to my fics (you'll notice a MAJORITY, with the exception of SVLPO, are gap-filling or canon-exploration fics), but that doesn't mean everything interesting to me has to be explainable within the canon framework. I think there's a lot of potential here to take the bit we do have about the two and expand it into an interesting story and dynamic. Basically: I might not have the easiest time writing it, but I'd hella read it tbh. And QWY tops. Unstable: They'd have so many issues. There's a power dynamic, there's their personalities, there's the resentment that they feel toward each other on account of their interest in LBH-- and this holds true in either SV or PIDW verse. The whole relationship would be a mess of manipulation, and I don't think either one of them would be interested in getting proper consent. Nor do I think they'd be particularly interested in actually working through their problems. Would read, do not recommend.

why do you still prefer calling him shuro over toshiro? just curious

makes it clearer to the anime onlys and i find it interesting that a lot of japanese fans have no problem saying shuro still lmao

[artificialcaretaker]

There’s no fucking way I got into school mandated classic lit yaoi again why the fuck does this keep happening……

[Literally praying that we read page 222 in class I need to see everyone’s reaction to that.

Also, Bromden is literally me. Bro will start talkin about his paranoid delusions and how the Shadow Government is controlling him and I’ll be like “ONG TWIN 🫡🫡🫡”

That may or may not have some implications on my current mental health status.

ALSO also, I finally changed my signature. I no longer want to be associated with the same thing I used to mark the yaoi hentai I drew in middle school. That ain’t me. I’m a changed man. Like hell I’ll ever find it again but the important thing is that I’m moving on.

looking @ old fic i started when i was 14/15 is so funny bc im realizing once again why i never mark fics as abandoned even if its been literal years since i've touched them. specifically i was checking docs for stuff i started and either did or didn't post to ffn.

and its like. nothing is bad??? like i can see where my outside-the-box ideal of fic writing comes from. not just fics but writing in general, i'm p sure. even if it's a total cliche plot setup, there are details on each that rly make it stand out like oh yeahhhhhh i did have this great idea once upon a time.

funny too bc was it executed well in prose??? no absolutely not i wrote like shit when i was 15. would i revive an idea one day and revise it to be less cliche or cringy while still keeping the stand-out elements??? yea maybe. i might. everything i'm currently working on that i started from 2021 up to now still holds my supreme interest, but like i'm not gonna say never.

esp since i write fic first and foremost for my own need and specifically what i like to read, it makes it impossible to consider an idea i've thought extensively about "not worth writing anymore". anyway not making this too long i jus found everything interesting to consider
