Guardian Bingo Bonus Round?

Hello wonderful people who supported Guardian Bingo!

It is I, mod @tehfanglyfish, here to gauge interest in a bonus round of Guardian Bingo spanning parts of June, July, and possibly August.

This would be different from the regular bingo that ran in 2022 and 2023 in that there will be no cards and no badges. Instead, the goal is to offer low-stress inspiration and have fun.

Here's a rough outline of how bonus bingo would work:

A new prompt every 1 or 2 weeks for a total of five prompts (each corresponding with a letter in bingo)

Fills would need to be posted within that 1-2 week period

No minimum word counts (or the equivalent for non-fic creations)

Any type of creation is accepted (fic, art, meta, gif sets, edits, vids, crafts/fanartifacts, rec lists, mood boards, etc.)

Amnesty week at the end for any missed fills

Bingos are earned by filling all five prompts

Again, no new badges, but you will earn a sense of accomplishment, personal glory, and a shoutout post with everyone who managed a bingo

So, now knowing all of that, please let me know if you're interested.

✨ weekend wip exposure club ✨

rules: post 7 sentences/a snippet of an unfinished work

Thanks dear @alxina for tagging me again to share 'blorbos in situations' (according to @meluci-fer) Here, have a snippet of the current chapter of In endless mist and rain, drawing your silhouette again and again (can't reveal the number of the chapter...)

Virtue, Zhao Yunlan had said. And now that was gone. Before it was certain that Shen Wei would not have to return alone to an empty house. Zhao Yunlan didn't know what to do other than to continue holding Shen Wei's hand, as if silently whispering 'I'm still here'. And Lin Jing watched it all, somehow like a scene that repeated itself over and over again. He had been there, many times with Cheng Xinyan and Zhao Yunlan, when Shen Wei had been left behind, alone with feelings he didn’t deserve to carry. Now he felt it hit harder. Because although the monk had always known that Shen Wei was not human, now he knew who Shen Wei was - and that entity had always seemed absurdly lonely to him, never treating his duties as a burden, but the burden was there to be seen in an absence and longing that seemed to envelop that entire being. Lin Jing had, however, seen Shen Wei cry like any man, suffer like any man, and try again like any man. 'Powerful immortal' was not the absolute about who Shen Wei was.

tagging Deputy Chief @tazzy-ace if he wants to share some of his side of this work or any of his solo projects, @fixaidea @forerussake @the-marron I know it'll be Monday when you all see this Ç_Ç I'm sorry for being late...

LIN JING from GUARDIAN

JUSTIFICATION:

"for starters, she's into computers and inventions and the like which I feel is a strong start. then like the fact that she meets a punk lesbian with alt fashion who makes synth music and is like "woah I'm in love with her" like babe!!!" - Anonymous

Reminder: Submissions are always open! Submit here!

Did you make your daily click today?

[hoodedcorvus]

Have this wip ! It has a few more future panels but whatever hahahah

The S.I.D is so <3333 everything

[skeptical-lynx]

I think Lin Jing is the most relatable character in guardian, he’s overworked, sees no bonus, has semi-unrequited love, serves as a dummy for Yunlan’s punchlines and probably on a verge of burnout

Reaction to Guardian (Chapter 2-Chapter 10)

okay so i had to stop myself from binge reading so that i could make this post, but i think i failed.

okay i'm not even gonna lie, i kinda really love guo changcheng. he makes serious situations so funny and i feel kinda bad for him. ik he would be soOOO annoying irl, but in the book he kinda heightens the experience without intruding on zhao yunlan and shen wei, lmao.

i re-looked at the cover for volume 1, of course, and my first impression of shen wei was that he was apprehensive or concerned, but now he seems a little in love/shy type of concerned. idk, after reading, their expressions seem a lot more soft.

the python lady, whose name i forgot. wait. erm. ZHU HONG that was it. okay so first of all the period jokes are crazy. at first i was abt to say why tf would you spend so much money on making her learn about tech stuff, but then i realized this was based in china and idk how much universities cost there. whoops. ALSO ALSO WHY THE FUCK IS SHE FLIRTING WITH ZHAO YUNLAN?? HELLO?? bro was actually disgusted and she should've been ashamed. that being said, i do quite like her. i think if there are scenes with her in the future, they won't be that bad.

lin jing- whose name i only remember because of jin ling- is super kewl. idk, bro just seems like a wingman. i think i imagine him differently in my head because of jin ling.... so he has no glasses and is kinda short in my head... but all is well, yk? i like his- again, i binge read, so sorry if this is offensive/incorrect- monk/buddhist motif.

the fight scenes are so well made, holy shit. and so are the illustrations! like omg, they were so fun to read. i love love love fight scenes and with guo changcheng it definitely wasn't AS serious, but yk. obv we love shen wei being a badass and daqing being daqing.

the illustrations are such bangers as well, i love the style. especially the one where zhao yunlan was holding the dagger in his mouth and holding the talisman? dont ask me why, but i love when characters do that. it feels so badass to me.

i'm so excited to read the rest. i'm not sure if zhao yunlan's memory altering technique thing will work on shen wei, because he is a little sus. meaning that he definitely has a hidden past and is like secretly a demon or guardian of zhao yunlan or some shit, yk? i have the covers of the rest of the novels at my disposure, or whatever the fuck, and i can see that they have long hair, which was kinda strange to me because it seems like a modern type au so far?

oh yeah quick interlude: love the fact that you can shoot ghosts with bullets. that seems so fucking badass to me. this novel is so badass, dont ask me why

anyway i really enjoyed the little kissie that zhao yunlan gave shen wei. i wonder what their future dynamic will be?

so excited to read the rest, i highly recommend if you like good fight scenes!! can't wait to unravel the mystery.

oh, p.s: li qian (?) wasn't the one who died, i was wrong. but she was supposed to die- or so i think rn, idk the twists. ah, maybe mxtx has shapen me into expecting something so out there, but with jun wu and nie huaisang and luo binghe, things aren't really what they seem, i'm SURE of it.

i love guardian so far, and i'm sure you will too!

until next time...

VINCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, LAST SENTENCE!!! Share the last sentence you wrote, I know your Google Docs is open, share it!!!

Hi Luci. Nice to see you here so... enthusiastic.

You know what we're working on, I'm playing Shen Wei for "Seawater is tears shed in the shores" in his solo/introspective scenes and adding details to his parts in the scenes Hyde wrote alone. Today I got to work in a shared character (both me and Hyde are writing him now), Xiao Hua. So, my last sentence, it's from him, to Wu Xie:

“That's why we don't treat love like business - as long as someone still knows what love is worth, that someone has not yet lost their soul.”

Since this fic started as a short-story with 3 main characters and a simpler Angst Plot, it's a surprise the proportions it took in less than a week and how Xiao Hua is getting the spotlight there too, yet the conflict is not about him, I'd say he's a late main character.

Facts that may be interesting for you: -After I read the first scenes of this fic, I jumped into writing Shen Wei's pov without permission and added in between lines some headcanons I have as analyst. Hyde liked it and now I'm a co-author by accident, but this made my days off so much better -Xiao Hua's pov changed the whole pace of this work, so you will know that once he's in scene, things won't go as you could be expecting in the first parts of the fic -Arjun's portrayal of Lin Jing is flawless, he begins as the more in-canon character, even the narration he and Hyde made for the LJ & ZYL scene looks like you were reading a scene in Guardian Novel. Needless to say I laughed, despite all the previous and later Angst. The scene develops for a more real-monk thing, as we enjoy. We had no plans to bring Lin Jing to this story, but here he is and he also changed the pace. -This work was created because of your request for the Frailties and Nuances series, in the song Run, by Rhodes, that I posted here a while ago. The most prominent setting in this work is a similar place to the one in the music video. That said: this fic has full soundtrack (thanks to your help) and the playlist will be linked, and this fic has art; I don't know how many, Hyde sketched a few, finished a painting, and by the time we get the writing done, I don't know how many more artworks we'll have, but there's potential for an illustrated fic. -Tazzy is working as the photographer, choosing scenes and locations to inspire the sets and art. Two of the photos totally captured me and because of that, Shen Wei, who didn't have any scenes in that setting, now does. (Thank you @tazzy-ace ) -None of us know the end of the story, although it seems predictable for being part of that specific series. -For Humor or Angst, Da Qing raised ZYL nonetheless

Shen Wei... Shen Wei... ... Kill me! Kill me!

10,000 years could pass and I will still have not recovered from this scene. I mean, he's saying I don't want to live in a world where he isn't... I want to go wherever he's gone to, so kill me.

This only works in fiction, for me, but, damn if it doesn't work.

Forty episodes of Guardian complete. It continued to be engaging until the very end, which is not an easy feat. That said, I am not sure I understand the ending. I get it, but I think they left some important things on the cutting room floor.

I never did get around to liking Guo Changcheng. But can I say that the scene with him having tea with the women doesn't make sense and it feels like the adaptation team felt the need to include a specific scene from the novel but they needed to pass censorship and that's what they came up with. I could be very wrong as I haven't read the novel, but Chu Shuzhi waiting impatiently to drag his friend/teammate away from a matchmaking scene doesn't make nearly as much sense as him waiting to drag his boyfriend away from the scene. And even before that, why was he there in the first place? No matter their relationship, why is he just (not) chillin' in the background?

Zhu Hong annoyed me for a bit wondering why Zhao Yunlan didn't return her feelings. And this is possibly a cultural divide, but as far as I could see, she never explicitly made her feelings known--until the dream. And even knowing how perceptive her chief was, I think it's unfair to leave it to the other person to interpret your actions to your liking. If you want someone to pick up what you're putting down, you're better off just handing it to them. That aside, I liked her. Other than what I see as a lack of communication, I never questioned her actions; everything she did as a character made sense for her, even when she when she was lamenting about Zhao Yunlan, though not quite fair, it made sense from her perspective. Moreover, her future path is the only one I understand.

I don't have a precise understanding of what anyone else on the team is doing with their life post-split. And if it was trying to be one of those "leave it to the audience to decide" endings, it failed spectacularly by being simultaneously too vague and too specific.

Shen Wei and Ye Zun... I have complicated feelings about what I don't know. Family bonds are weird, so I can't say that their fate doesn't make sense, but I also don't think whatever it is is gonna be healthy.

Lin Jing and Da Qing in Zhao Yunlan's apartment?

Guo Changcheng being the only remaining team member walking through HQ and that mini-me Chu Shuzhi?

But the one I'm most confused about is... the real Chief Zhao?

I feel like I might rupture my cerebral cortex if I don't stop there. I want to scream, but I'm also pretty certain that if I just wait for the novel, my questions will be answered. But is it fair to ask a viewer to fill in the blanks from the original work? Be it a loose or faithful adaptation, it should be able to stand on it's own. And for the most part it did; however, it failed to at the most crucial moments.

That said, on the whole I enjoyed the story and while I won't watch it again, I am looking forward to reading the novel(s). I could take or leave most of the performances, but Zhu Yilong, Bai Yu, and Jiang Mingyang really did it for me.

Finally, I have to say something that is really unbelievable coming from me because I usually do not comprehend people's faces as being attractive or otherwise, and the times when I do acknowledge it, it's usually fleeting; however Zhu Yilong is unbelievably beautiful. I cannot stop thinking about his face and his subtle and brief expressions. I just don't understand what's happening with the symmetry and general arrangement of his features, but I am honestly and utterly captivated. This might be a problem.

@tazzy-ace not that you will remember names but jsksjsksjs. @meluci-fer @sagittariusdarkarrow good. And I'm sure @victorian-pirate already knows this 😑

What characters call each other (and themselves) in Guardian

This post is made because I don’t want to wall of text on that Chinese names post.

As a translator, I like to normalise the usage of pinyin honorifics and titles the way Japanese honorifics and titles are normalised in anime/manga. If you’re familiar with anime/manga, I’m sure this list is familiar to you: -san -sama -kun -kaasan -niisan -neesan -sensei -senpai -chan -bucho -shacho. I see no reason at all why we can’t do the same with Chinese honorifics except for the easily translated occupational ones.

Now, the next bit is off the top of my head, and I’ve only read the book 1.5 times (i’m currently 48 chapters into a re-read) so feel free to correct please.

There are three major characters in Zhenhun that uses ‘special’ personal pronouns on top of the usual 'I’: Daqing, Lin Jing, and Zhao Yunlan. (I’m also attaching a list of how each character is referred to by the others, and it’s gotten long, hence the cut.)
