MORE MONDSTADT IK BUT THIS TIME SHES VENTI SISTERRRRR

She is a little musician who plays the violin for the people, which makes Venti so proud. And she's a bit of a mom friend since she has to deal with Venti's drunk shenanigans. Good for dealing with Asmo and Mammon (and maybe lucifer).

Once Venti brought her to an archon meeting and they all fell in love with her cuteness. Now Devildom has to feel the wrath of all archons once they find out that she's missing. Not to mention their underlings, like the adepti and fatui.

Its a given that she's an anemo user, and maybe she'd be a polerarm or claymore? But it would be nice if she was a bow user, just like her big brother. And she has a little wind sprite form that is super smalllllll omg i love her.

Her meeting barbatos is a bit akward at first but then she gets super close to him! I would write down more, but its like nearly midnight here, so you can write the rest!

ahhh bard ik with a teeny wind spirit form I LOVE IT

i imagine that venti and ik were like a pair of sibling wind spirits from the beginning, and then venti ascended to archonhood and gained the ability to have a physical human form - but ik was still just a wisp for a good while, until (this would mess up canon lore but ehh it's cool) venti sought out an alchemist (like rhinedottir, or maybe just rhinedottir herself) to make ik a body and teaches her how to manage it, as well as how to wield a bow like him

the first time she meets devildom barbatos, she looks at him REAL hard and goes, "............brother????" because, with the combined teal hair gradient and same name, it wouldn't be that big of a reach. then barbatos just stands there awkwardly like "um......no"

she uses her anemo powers to float up to demon's face level when she wants to talk to them, and whenever one of them's annoying her she hits them with a burst of wind to the face. also she has her wind glider, which she can propel with the wind to have flying races with mammon!!

it starts with lucifer asking her to demonstrate her violin-playing, and then they build up a routine where everyone will come to the common room to listen to ik practise in the mornings and evenings. she teaches some of the brothers some of the basics of other instruments and gets them to do some singalongs together too (they don't sound great but it's the having fun that counts)

like venti, she loves apples, and one day barbatos bakes her an apple pie and after that she decides he's her new best friend. barbatos doesn't mind that she follows him around often, because her music is a nice accompaniment to his baking/cooking, especially when she suggests elements of teyvat food to incorporate, and she has lots of very fascinating stories to tell!

Since rewatching the guardian drama after reading the novel has made me mad about how bad and good both of them are I am Obligated to write out a list of what I think the perfect merger btw both versions of canon are. This will be in list format otherwise I’ll end up writing like 6k words again. 

TLDR: the genre stays as supernatural from the novel and not Sci fi, bc that was rlly not fleshed out well. Shen Wei is a ghost king, and all the dixingren are ghosts or demons like originally intended. The ghost race naturally exists and wasn't born from kunluns shoulder fire or anything. They just exist separate from humans. Not all ghosts are former humans, some people are just born as ghosts, like Shen Wei. Zhao Yunlan has the guardian whip and all the cool stuff that comes with the Guardian order.  Overall, i’d keep the novel’s plot and relationship progression and ending without the backstory. Instead the backstory is a merger of both canons. From the drama I’d keep the characterization and themes as well as like half the extra cases and omit the other half. 

I’ll be elaborating much further on my ideal backstory and other stuff under the cut bc the rest is 1.5k and I don’t wanna clog the dash 

Okay SO In my ideal backstory there are two timelines just like the drama but the mythology of the book. The god Kunlun is actually zyl that went back in time and became a god. But the one that went back isn’t the current Zhao Yunlan. There has to be an original timeline where the god Kunlun never existed. Thus the great seal nor the separation of the three realms don’t exist either. Zhao Yunlan must go back in time to become a god, meet Shen Wei in the past, and create the current timeline where the separation exists but isn’t perfect. The current timeline is the one that the majority of the series takes place in.

In the original timeline, Zhao Yunlan is just some dude living in a world where ghosts, fairies, and all other beings just live in a giant free for all and it's kinda just a mess. 

Like there’s government in modern context and all and all races live with each other but there's constant tension. ZYL works at some equivalent of the SID (same staff and side characters, but novel vers. Lin Jing is a monk, CSZ a zombie, etc) to protect people and all that and their job is rather hard. One day encounters the thousands year old ghost king Wei (who isnt shen wei yet bc zyl gave him that name in the future) who works alone as like a rouge cultivator of sorts. He lives on the surface undercover as a professor still bc he’s trying to not catch Yezun’s attention but does all the stuff he normally does as Heipaoshi. The two ally together for a case and bc they both have the same goals of getting all races to live in peace. At current, there are forces working together to decimate the human race, all lead by Yezun

As they work together they become closer and all that. Shen Wei tells him about how he was unable to prevent the great war 5 thousand years ago and neither could the gods so  he’s spent the past 5 thousand years trying to make up for it. As they search for ways to stop Yezun, they gather the 4 hallows and learn how to use them to manipulate time so ZYL can go into the past and stop the great war and separate the three realms (living, dead, ghost).  Shen Wei wants to go back with him but he can’t because he was alive all those years ago so if he goes back it will create a paradox. ZYL promises he’ll find Shen Wei in the past and create a timeline where they could be together in peace (that is the current timeline)

When goes back he becomes the god kunlun because there needed to be a new god born at the time to prevent the war.  Also this time traveller looked promising to Nuwa, Fuxi, and Shennong. And I know in the guardian universe gods are usually born and ppl don’t become gods. EXCEPT this can happen when a god passes on smth from their body onto them bc that did happen in the novel with Kunlun making shen wei a demigod. And since fu you and ma gui are supposed to be gods Nu Wa and Fuxi I think that when they die, they should make ZYL a god and that's how this stuff happens.

So like ZYL explains to the gods the time he came from and how he wants to save everything and they make him a god and he works to save everything just like he did in the drama but this time with the novel plotline. During this time he meets young Shen Wei (he’s still like a hundred or so years old) and they get close and all the stuff from the backstory happens. He gives him his name, all that good stuff. The entire time doesn’t let him know that he’s from the future or that his real name is ZYL. He just poses as kunlun. 

The two of them alongside the other gods (who still die at the times they do in the novel) work together to end the war and establish the great seal and set up the cycle of reincarnation, per the current timeline. Although the seal and cycle of reincarnation aren’t perfect. Gods can’t reincarnate, and ghosts still don’t have souls. And just like the novel, doing all of this kills ZYL bc it takes a lot of energy to create the seal even though it isn’t perfect.

Shen Wei of course doesn’t want ZYL to die and zyl says it's alright because he fixed the timeline so there must One day they will meet again and ZYL reveals the truth about the timeline to shen wei before he dies. This becomes the promise that Shen Wei mentions to meet again. Before he dies, ZYL gives him the shoulder fire as a memento ( i still like the candy wrapper necklace deal but i’ll take this too. Maybe both.. The pendant is still just rlly cool.. Gay ppl)

Shen Wei knows gods can’t enter the cycle of reincarnation and still makes the deal with Shennong to strip Kunlun of his godhood and let him reincarnate. This sets us into the novel timeline where isn’t allowed to meet any of zyl’s reincarnations before he becomes zyl otherwise he will die and also fuck up the timeline. The same 5 thousand years of pining still ensue bc Gay Ppl and i love making Shen Wei suffer but he doesn’t have the shrine room thing bc i think thats weird and yea.. Bad. 

In the meantime Shen Wei does a lot of things mostly just protecting the great seal and working for Hell to keep the peace but still does other stuff. He still watches out for ZYL’s reincarnations but doesn’t do much besides make sure they don’t die a premature death. They meet again finally at the beginning of the series and the timeline resumes like canon. And that's my master plan that merges both drama logic and novel logic while making a much better timeline. (I hope that makes some sense)

Da Qing is still Kunlun’s pet cat and important. Novel backstory applies to him. And I already mentioned him kinda but as for Yezun (Gui Mian in the novel) his deal is similar as in the drama but just a ghost. And he is a big player in the great war, he thought Shen Wei abandoned him as a kid but they were just separated. Shen Wei doesn’t know it's him till the end of the war and couldn’t stop him in the OG timeline and vows to bring him to justice and make amends. Shen Wei continuously tries to explain things to him but he just won’t listen and is imprisoned in hell bc yk… war criminal stuff and yeah he’s the main antagonist trying to break the great seal bc he’s still made about the past. Idk. Yezun wasn’t well written in the novel OR the drama so like… honestly he just needs to be completely rewritten and I don’t care enough about that. He can just be a weak villain idk

the drama characterization stays the same for everyone else bc found family go brr. However for Lao Chu i… hmm… i think he should still be a zombie but the reason he killed someone should be related to his brother. I like that addition and then shen wei realized his sentence was unjust and exempted him. i like that storyline merger. bc the brother thing and him admiring Heipaoshi was drama only. in the novel lao chu just murdered some kid for a rlly whatever reason.

uhhh in terms of the cases… id make adjustments to most of them. i think the li qian case should be like the drama bc the novel just had her as a murderer and it was boring. 

For the mountain river awl one was fine… novel version was funnier and more interesting action wise tbh… rip zyl and his exorbitant flirting. uhhh the whole reveal that shen wei was the soul reaper thing was kinda… ehh in the novel but i did love the comedy of afterwards Shen Wei pretending he went into cardiac arrest when he actually just… has no pulse bc he's a ghost. 

ID KEEP THE WORTH IT SCENE AND RAIN SCENE… THOSE FUCK SO HARD… I love the drama for adding those every damn day. the novel version of zyl losing his sight sucked and was sooo boring.  Keep the drama version on that.

also id keep dr. cheng. i'm very pro dr. cheng and her friendship with shen wei it adds so much to his character imo. keep the fruit seller man and his wife for the merit brush..omg it adds SO MUCH the way the drama did it.. like the drams build up with the novels pace of that arc.. mwah. it felt like it dragged a bit in the drama but if it went faster and without the hospital ep and with sha ya (sorry sha ya) that would've been so good. tho keep novel version of da qings memory loss and lao li. that was rlly impactful.

id say keep some of the cases like the mirror one, the eyes doctor one, etc. just to like.. yk have more to fill in general.. novel pacing but drama characterization without the bs that wasn't fully realized. and novel ending ofc. And that’s it!!

I hope most of this makes some amount of sense  but it probably doesn’t. In my head it all tracks but like ik most of u don’t know anything about the novel so this sounds like gibberish. Also I know this would literally never happen but this is MY ideal merger of the two canons that I feel compelled to expand on for some reason. Anyways, as io said,, we need to rebuild guardian. Like literally let me and the mutuals write Guardian and it will be 500 times better.

[shattersstar]

mac pls rant to me about alucard like literally talk about anything relating to him idc he just lives in my mind rent free already and I want to hear ur thots 🥺🥺 and u know how much I love ur writing like only u can make me simp over a character i've never heard about until after reading ur series

in this house we all simp over alucard 😌 but tyy i always have so many thoughts omg like i woke up after four hrs of sleep and this fucking show was the first thing on my mind snksndsk anyway imma talk abt the series bc i feel like it sorta came outta nowhere and i dont wanna bore the masses with my thoughts on character design or like animation style (not yet at least hehehe)

okay first of all the fact sm of u guys r reading this without knowing anything about him or the show or anything is so sweet like y’all really sticking through it for me..i appreciate it endlessly. this ranting might also be kinda helpful and idk i like hearing writers thoughts behind their work so i hope y’all do to

the title comes from farouq jwaydeh i found it on that twitter thread about arabic love poems that went around a few months ago. i actually wasn’t planning on naming the series that but the doc where i was working on each part had the quote “and if the devil was to ever see you, he’d kiss your eyes and repent” in it because i was planning on writing smth for alucard based of that and the more i thought about it, the more i realized how well it worked for the series. its so romantic and so devoted which is the type of relationship i do be writing and it also works within a lot of the religious themes of the show. if i could write that well it lowkey sounds like smth alucard would say akhfsk

and speaking of alucard, ik the fact he has two names might be a bit confusing especially with how i formatted bluebelle (whoops) but the characters name is adrian tepes but he goes by alucard for Reasons i wont spoiler lmao. aches & arches does do a decent job explaining y i choose to call him adrian instead, but in the future if i do write stuff outside this series for him there is definitely a chance he’d be called alucard it just really depends on context. i just think there is something very personal and intimate that the reader is very serious about the fact he isn’t a figure for the masses or only tied to his father. hes his own person who they love and they deserve to be called a name that is their own not a moniker given to them y’know? also the fact i dont think anyone actually calls him adrian in the show makes me sad like noo baby ur so much more than what ur father and Humanity has made u out to be ahaha

idk if i have mentioned this anywhere yet but this is also the first series ive ever written in like my....4? 5? years writing on tumblr (ew i dont wanna think about how long ive been doing this) but thats kind of a big deal. i’m a bit :/ with myself for how much stuff i tried to add to bluebelle because i really didnt think i was gonna write anything else for him so it feels a bit cramped in terms of themes in comparison to the other parts. i feel like it does stick out a little within the series considering some of those themes havent been explored again but ehh i’m complaining about something i can change so whelp. guess it means i gotta write more

although i must admit i’m probably not gonna write a wedding and i’m sorry if u guys wanted one i just...can’t Bring myself to write a christian wedding even tho i’m pretty sure alucard is atheist? or at least not catholic lmao and i would rather write a hindu wedding bc its better (noah fence) and i think the ideas? or meanings around hindu wedding ceremonies make sense for this but i dont wanna be alienating so.yeah. that also feels like i gotta start writing a plot and i would rather Not do that i’m fine with mindlessly fluff for now. idk if anyone can tell but i’m avoiding the whole vampire and human relationship convo bc i havent figured out my thoughts on it and i dont wanna deal. let adrian live in a soft fantasy world with no bad things okay thanks thats all .

Once Upon a Time Rewatch Proper Watch

1x04 The Price of Gold

Me, diving into anything Rumple/Gold related^

EWW I SEE THE BLUE BITCH WH—

*ahem*

Enchanted Forest

Nvm it’s a golden fairy it’s all goo—OHMYGODSHEJUSTBLEWUP

“Do YoU KnOw wHaT tHiS iS”

“Pure magic” (reverently)

“Pure evil” GIRL HE IS WARNING YOU STAY AWAY FROM THAT SHIT—

Lol the Charmings are at Cinderella’s wedding— oh my gOSH ITS RUMPLE HI BABY.

“Your firstborn,” *laughs* classic Rumplestiltskin.

WAIT WAIT WAIT DOES THAT MEAN SHE WAS PREGGO FOR TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS?? Big oof.

“Make another deal.” Dude, no.

“What if this magic also comes with a price?” Well at least someone’s learning. Too bad she didn’t listen smh.

Aww hell yeah. Another Rumple casually tosses something away moment.

“I can always have more children.” Rumple’s face my poor bb.

Oh, shit. He knows what’s up. He planned it didn’t he? It’s the seer thing, right? Not that ik abt the seer thing cause I haven’t seen that yet.

Tbh I lowkey feel like Ella cares more abt her life as royalty than keeping her kid.

Storybrooke

Aww Emma/Graham are cute together (what’s their ship name again?)

I’d take a job if there’s dental. You better say “yes,” Emma.

“Needs roots,” Regina says. Emma’s gon’ take that job now, won’t she?

Oh she found Cinderell-y. *Narrows eyes* Emma’s giving her a pep talk. This is gonna screw Rumple over somehow, isn’t it? 😒

Ohh shit she broke in—

BITCH NO. LEAVE MY ASSHOLE BB ALONE UGH

Wait if Emma wearing some rando’s clothes, then what about the stuff she had on earlier?? And whose shirt is that jfccc

AWW GOLD (seems like a dick <3).

Ehh I like Emma’s red leather jacket than that blue one.

“Then you wouldn’t be helping the maid” and “I’m just trying to spend time with you” that boy is smart must be the Stiltskin side, cause the Charmings seems like idiots in comparison.

“I’m not letting that happen to my son.” Okay, well, idk what to tell you, but you coulda just taken them in..?

“Anyone who wants to be a mother should damn well be allowed to be one.” Tbh, it sounds like she’s projecting her thing with Henry on Ashley, which is bad, esp if she really isn’t able to support the kid or just isn’t emotionally ready for it or anything. Gdi, Emma.

“My baby. It’s coming.” Yeah, bitch. I heard stress can induce childbirth.

“We don’t have four hours. Trust me, I know.” Well, I mean, labor can last for a while lol (according to my mom at least).

“I like you, Miss Swan.” *cute (✿◕‿◕) face* AWW.

Her “council meeting” was a booty call?? And she just left her ten y/o unsupervised?? Smh.

The shoe came off. Lol how apropos.

Shoes. Also apropos. (But completely useless cause newborns don’t fkn need ‘em. Mittens and socks are better, Sean).

Eyy. She took the job. *singsongy* Caaalled it. :)

GRAHAM WAS THE BOOTY CALL? What, does Regina have his heart or smthn? But would that even work in the no-magic-place? Also, that’d be totally non-con, which is totally inappropriate for a family show. Either way, he’s cursed, so who knows if not-cursed him would be okay with it? Ugh. Not okay, show.

9/10. Had some nice Rumple bits, but UGH THEY WERE SO MEAN TO HIM I MEAN HE WARNED HER DIDNT HE
