The madman

Things get so intense by the end, even knowing the ending I couldn't go to sleep before finishing the last page. So that day I stayed up till 4 am, until I could sigh in relief. I imagine this moment so clearly. His mixed expression, the rage of loss and a slight consolation of coming revenge, the smell of blood, the sword that he doesn't even need but brings anyway because he is heavily injured. His breathing is labored and he walks slowly, not as gracefully as a few hours before, but he is still the most dangerous man here with the threatening aura of a devil.

This piece has to be followed by two more at least, to bring me joy. I want to see hope in those dead eyes.

Poor Little Meow Meow Semifinals: Vegas (Kinnporsche: The Series) vs Wen Kexing (Word of Honor)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Vegas: The guy may be an actual murderer, torturer, mafia boss, manipulator, and possible grapist but come on! He is the most character ever! He is the definition of meow meow! He has a hedgehog! And he is very sad a d pathetic when it does and he buries it! And scores with the future love of his life over its grave! He fucks this dude he kidnapped and tortured so good the guy quits his job and becomes his malewife and raises his baby brothers for him!

Wen Kexing: He's a murderer, POSSIBLY a cannibal, skinned a man alive and gleefully incited conflict that led to SO many deaths, and yet the moment he finds out the guy he likes is mad at him he becomes SO pathetic. Drinking himself into a stupor. Paying concubines to just fawn over him and tell him how perfect he is. He has the biggest saddest wettest eyes and he's committed So Many Crimes.

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Gay wrongs tournament, semifinals of the losers bracket

Propaganda:

For Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu:

you've got the founder of the fantasy ancient Chinese CIA and the leader of what is essentially the mafia and then they're soulmates and in love. they're both willing to kill anyone who dares hurt the other while also just wanting a soft domestic life together

Zhou Zishu is an assassin and spymaster who put the current Emperor on the throne, and then quit his job by faking his death (kinda, hes still dying but not as fast as he was supposed to). Had done A Lot on his old job, including murdering children (more than one, and at least one of them in a way I can't even describe without several trigger warnings), exterminating whole families, war crimes (and i dont mean this in a buzzword way, i mean "organized a public execution of foreign diplomats during war time")… btw he doesn't feel particularly bad about any of this, because he believes it was necessary. Like he wouldn't do it for fun, but he thinks the ends (putting a good Emperor on the throne) justified the means (all of the atrocities). As a retiree, he definitely cut down on the amount of morally reprehensible murder, but not murder in general. He still routinely kills ppl, he just doesn't go out of his way to kill more. Wen Kexing, meanwhile, is the Ghost Valley Master - Ghost Valley being a place where the worst of criminals are exiled. Even in such a place, he has reputation as a complete lunatic, owed partially to the fact that he either skinned a man or fed him his own flesh or both at one point, and partially to him having a rule where he would kill anyone who came closer than 3 meters to him. But in truth, everything he'd done was to survive the Ghost Valley and eventually take revenge for his parents, who were brutally murdered when he was only nine. By the start of the novel's timeline, he put his plan in motion - the plan that would drown jianghu in blood, but also deliver poetic justice to all responsible for his parents' deaths, as well as all who'd commit the same crime given the chance. And these two men, these two murderers and schemers, meet - and unexpectedly, find in each other the person who /understands/. The person who is just as ruthless and whose hands are just as bloody, but also the person who knows standing at the top of the world is not worth it, who seeks the same freedom of leaving it all behind, and who is still, underneath it all, a human, with human heart seeking connection. So you have this couple who understand each other with barely a word, and who want the same things - who are so hungry for domesticity and for people they can just goof around with when all their lives they had to measure every step and word - but ALSO where one half a couple is like "i gotta go murder hundreds in revenge" and the other half is like "ok pick you up at 6". (This btw is why I'm submitting novel's iteration of the couple in particular. Show wenzhou with their ridiculous breakups over morality could Never.) Also they were both hiding who they are when they first met, and later flirted about having figured each other out. Finally, I'll leave you my favorite quote that just. perfectly sums up their relationship: "And just like that, they fell asleep in each other's arms, steeped in the smell of blood."

You’ve probably already had submissions for them but I’ll add on. One of them founded an assassin’s guild and killed a staggering number of people. His malewife is the leader of a sect of insane murderous outcasts, and he attained his position by proving to be the most crazy and murder happy of them all. Most of the plot involves him wandering around watching his schemes get more people killed. Together they adopt a kid that was only orphaned due to said scheming (oops). They’re terrible and I love them.

For Legolas and Gimli:

They literally have a running competition between the two over who has more kills. And non-canon my ass, Legolas took Gimli to valinor

They kill alot of orcs together. They make it into a competition. Better minds than i have spoken about the couple ness

[myfaveisfuckable]

Zhou Zishu:

look I just know that his pussy game is off the charts. he's an evil war criminal who murdered countless people (both directly and indirectly) and basically founded the ancient chinese fantasy cia and was working towards a coup of the emperor. but then he quits his job and disguises himself as a beggar and tries to drink himself to death. but then this other evil war criminal sees him, even in full disguise, and is like "I must have this homeless man so help me god." and then his pussy game is so strong that it makes the other evil war criminal want to quit HIS job and become a malewife. oh yeah and he's like the prettiest motherfucker in the world with long legs and a slim waist and is absolutely everything to me. he's even bisexual.

Wen Kexing:

look little evil babygirl who serves cunt everyday of his life. he lead a rebellion in like what is basically the mafia and killed his way to the top at like age 20 and then skinned the former leader alive before starting his reign of terror for like 8 years. like his nicknames are lunatic wen (given by his subordinates) and philanthropist wen (given by himself). he was ready to burn the whole world down but then met this homeless man and decided he could just burn some of the world so that way he could still be a housewife. his pussy game was so good that it gave back a man his will to live.

Five Love Languages of Danmei: Cooking Bracket

["Anti-Propaganda" that attacks other characters is NOT allowed. Please only give reasons to vote FOR a character/ship.]

Wenzhou from Faraway Wanderers

Characters: Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu

Submission:

New Year's Celebration chapter my beloved! Anyw yeah Wen Kexing malewifes it up so hard in this one. He cooks a whole feast, he flirts over it ("When one eats, one should eat something handmade by a human being. It has soul and flavor to it, and it might even have love… When you taste it later tonight, you’ll be able to tell”), he puts food into Zhou Zishu's bowl, it's all soooo sweet and domestic!

Moshang from The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System 

Characters: Mobei-jun and Shang Qinghua

Submission:

noodles! hand-pulled! he'll make them!!!

Part of Moshang’s “reconciliation” (if that��s the right word) after Shang Qinghua ran away (if THAT’s the right word) involves him asking for hand-pulled noodles - something he even admits is asking for a mile when given an inch. And Mobei-jun, who is fairly bad at communicating emotions in human-terms, does! It’s the ending of Shang Qinghua settling down to start writing again & one of the few moments that it’s relatively clear that Mobei-jun is showing affection (in human terms)

LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 2, Wave 3, Poll 5

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.

Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.

Wen Kexing-Word of Honor / Shan He Ling

Qualifications:

He's made to drink this thing as a child which causes him to loose his memories of the thing he is most obsessed over. Not wanting to forget it, he does his best to resist the effects and tries to hold on to the memories that are supposed to be taken from him. This causes him to frequently cough blood and loose consciousness as a kid. He gains more control over it as he grows up but whenever other people reference it, he gets severe headaches, coughs up blood, passes out, etc. (this does get cured eventually as there's a remedy to it that he unintentionally takes). Other than that, his mental health is abysmal. He's consumed by rage and revenge and has no care for his own life. He's 100% willing to destroy the whole world with him in it because of how the world has abandoned him. One of the nicknames his people had given him was Lunatic Wen due to his volatile nature and cruelty. He does care deeply for a select group of people, but he often finds himself struggling to give them what he wants to give them without falling on his other persona of the Ghost Valley Master. He spends like 20 years being eaten alive by his own guilt and rage and he believes for a long time that the only solution is to become crueler than the people who hurt him so he can get revenge. He has zero value for his own life or safety, even when there are multiple people wanting to keep him safe.

Propaganda:

look he's my special little guy. decided he wanted to retire from being an evil war criminal so he could be a malewife househusband instead. impeccable gender.

Ballister Blackheart-Nimona (Novel)

Qualifications:

He’s gay and an amputee

Propaganda:

He’s a lot more evil and also more established on what he’s doing than the movie. I think he’s neat, he does a lot more scheming and plotting and general shenanigans.

[every-character-ever-poll]

WEN KEXING - Word of Honor

PROPAGANDA:

He's my special little babygirl. Evil war criminal malewife. Bats his eyelashes and says he couldn't even kill a chicken and then brutally murderers over 30 people without a second thought. Unhinged poor little meow meow. Has a husband.

Never seen a character embody the “murder, manipulate, malewife” mindset as hard as Wen Kexing

Yan Zhengming (Liu Yao) - Gong, Spoiled, Peacock, Cultivator with great potential but Lazy, Dashixiong/Eldest Disciple, Sect Leader

Shi Qingxuan (SVSSS) - Shou, Transmigrator, Peak Lord, Look cold outside but panicking in his mind, Anti, Stallion novel reader, Use humor as he face horror situation, Obsessed in a fictional character, Teacher

Shen Zechuan (Qiang Jin Jiu) - Shou, Schemer, Cunning, Avenger, Prince, Emperor, Wrongly Accused, Very Pretty, Can Be Ruthless, Look like he can't fight but actually know martial arts and can use swords, Wife

[verycharismaticdragon]

I'm once again writing Wen Kexing propaganda... (unfortunately for a very different tournament than the previous one)

First of all, just feel the need to point out that he is to date my favorite danmei character overall. There are those characters that just feel like they were made for you, and Wen Kexing is one of those for me.

Reasons I love him:

He is so, so funny. It's difficult to describe but he and his boyfriend are a whole circus. (As I've said before you just gotta read the book and see Wen Kexing, the guy canonically so powerful the only person who can stand up to him is a literal immortal, act a part of a poor bullied wife.)

He is not only gay but extremely out and proud about it. And unlike many danmei characters, he's not a "single-target sexuality" type, he was already gay (sleeping around with male courtesans and such) before his love interest showed up. (Also at some point an enemy is attacking him and WKX thinks that the guy fights as if he stole his wife - and feels very wronged because he has zero interest in wives X'D)

He is an extremely feral dude underneath his clown exterior. He ate his dad's corpse to survive when he was 9. At certain point, he maintained a personal bubble of three meters by murdering anyone who came closer to him than that (except his adoptive daughter/little sister, more on her later). My favorite description of him includes the lines: "[…] he was wearing a bright red robe. At that moment, no one could tell whether it had been red to begin with, or had been dyed with fresh blood." There's a scene where he decapitates a man with his bare hand and then licks the blood off. Also most of the events of the book are set in motion by him so he can avenge his parents (the death toll of his plan is in the literal hundreds but it was very poetic justice and we love him for that). Also at a certain point he bites his boyfriend's wrist until it bleeds. (Dw though his bf is chill with this. They have a very healthy relationship for two mass murderers. And I think “And just like that, they fell asleep in each other’s arms, steeped in the smell of blood” is the most romantic line ever written.)

At the same time, he has this quietly caring side to him that is just so 🥺 He and his bf will rib and playfight each other all day and then Wen Kexing will shut up and just hold him through his chronic pain issue. He also brings him clothes so he wouldn't get cold and puts food into his bowl and helps treat his injuries! (Even that time he bit him, btw, he treated the injury afterwards.) And his bf is not the only person WKX cares about! He also has an adopted daughter/little sister whom hes been single-handedly taking care of since he was 12 and she was a baby. (The reason I put it as daughter/little sister is because he himself describes it as being a bit of both. Understandably considering he's not old enough to be her father but has raised her.) And btw his teenage single-parenting was happening in the Ghost Valley which is basically a settlement where the worst of criminals are exiled to. And the book explicitly states that thanks to him, she was able to retain a bit of childish innocence even in such a place. And since we're talking about kids, I must also mention that he and his bf also have a kid they are raising together. Who, despite being orphaned in the beginning of the book, grows up super well-adjusted thanks to his scary-ass dads shifus protecting him and taking care of him. Like, do you love sunshine kid+dangerous dad dynamic? What if I tell u there are two dangerous dads ;D

Malewife. Canonical malewife. I'll just put this quote here: “[…] When one eats, one should eat something handmade by a human being. It has soul and flavour to it, and it might even have love…” He cast a flirtatious look at Zhou Zishu, and said, “When you taste it later tonight, you’ll be able to tell.” ...and add that. Zhou Zishu was able to tell.

Also WKX fell in love with his love interest without seeing his face even once (ZZS is a former spy and up to the middle of the book always wears a disguise). When Wen Kexing actually saw his face, he blurted out “Have i ever mentioned that i like men?” .................Despite having kissed the guy 20 chapters before that. And having flirted the whole time.

Lastly I want to once again say that I really like how his trauma is portrayed in the novel. Because there’s this trend in media with superpowered characters where their trauma responses are portrayed through their powers, but Wen Kexing? This super OP killing machine whose traumas and living situation are so outlandish and unrelatable? He just dissociates like a regular person when remembering traumatic events. And I think its more connecting than any 'powers go out of control' plot could ever be.
