#qiao's talk

[qiao-jiaotu]

a fandom does not feel complete to me without MMDs, thank you so much for making them for life series

yooo thanks! when I grew up, it's so normal to watch MMD. I do remember analysed those APH MMD's history refrence back in 2010+...

time went by, technology advances! it's so different making MMD nowday. there are so much more we can do, and much more easier to achieve some kind of quality.

I love MMD, cause we share those file for free, so we can actually make "something" as a community.

I have some of my MMD model upload→［free download］ it will be great to see more people play with these model XD

Face-off

New comic, hurt/comfort, gen audience, post s2 (spoilers obviously)

updates once or twice a week (lets see about that), early updates on my ko-fi (already 3 pages there~)

Part 1 - Lu Guang & Qiao Ling

Part 2 - Qiao Ling & Cheng Xiaoshi

[patheticlogic]

yan wushi's betrayal is necessary, his cruelty is the point!!! much like the audience, shen qiao believes that there's kindness in yan wushi, and with time spent together, it will eventually show, no matter how small. that although they walk different paths, shen qiao's is the ultimate truth.

shen qiao's character flaw is not his kindness. it's his ignorance. and he doesn't truly accept (we, the audience, don't truly understand) this until yan wushi betrays him.

[falling-star-cygnus]

dragging this over to my tumblr, bc it really did give me a great idea for a fic!!!

ok ok ok- imagine with me: singer!Cheng Xiaoshi n actor!Lu Guang meet cute where CXS is just- doing his thing yk? out on a walk to clear his head and pick something up for Qiao Ling when he meets this guy in pink sunglasses

and by meets, i mean knocks him over trying to avoid being seen by fans [insert the corny but classic catch by the waist and wrist]

blah blah blah, they recognize each other [bc guess what... they love each other's respective media!!!] and realize they're both in the same situation and help each other hide. Cheng Xiaoshi lends his fateful encounter a certain kitty eared hat, they share some pleasant conversation, and the two go their separate ways [they're kind of in a rush now, with their respective responsibilities].... before realizing a touch too late that A: they never exchanged numbers B: Lu Guang still has the hat

so CXS drags his morose ass over back to the studio the next day and *gasp* surprise surprise, Qiao Ling is there and *GASP* Lu Guang is too! -> Liu Xiao, who is Lu Guang's current agent, set up the meeting in hopes of a collab or the like

and then it's just a corny lil slowburn between the two, paired with a subplot of Lu Guang trying to return the damn hat -> y'all PLEASE it would be so precious, i will legit write and draw for this if anyone wants it

“shen qiao not knowing how to manage his husband's impulsiveness”

Gold phrase by @shizunswontonsoup 🙌🏼

[romanceyourdemons]

it’s so funny how many people pull shen qiao aside like “you deserve so much better than yan wushi like have some self respect girl” and shen qiao is like “i knowwwww i don’t even like him but if i don’t keep people from killing him the world will collapse into a mire of bloody chaos, never to emerge” and the other person is like “well it’s your choice, but if you ever need to give me a call day or night my doors are always open” and the whole time yan wushi is standing two feet away

Link click yapper here sorry but Im dying to know how many lasts/first did CXS forget/never got to experience again. Like I think that CXS did off himself in the flashback LG has when he got shot so I wonder what changed in that timeline for the ending to change (although the results were the same)

TW for discussions of CXS’s suicide

Oohhh so like what differences there was in this timeline from the last? The things CXS experienced the last time around that he won’t be able to experience in the current timeline for the sake of keeping him alive?

(I am in pain. Also note that plot theories are slightly out of my area of expertise - character and theme analysis - but I’ll try my best!)

Okay so this is partially inspired by @snowpoet123’s amazing fic - three time’s the charm - so I think that CXS doesn’t get to experience becoming close with Lu Guang in this timeline, and there MUST be some things he missed there. Not to say that Lu Guang and CXS aren’t as close in the current timeline because they are close in literally every timeline and every medium they are so queer for each other afjaskdfjasd. (I have a whole essay on the trust between them /exaggeration but not by much). So I imagine that CXS would miss a lot of those ‘firsts’ with Lu Guang like… idk what do normal freinds do… okay nevermind what would these two nuerodivergent sillies do… I imagine they would play a lot of basketball and just hang out before and after a lot before they did the whole ‘moving in together and being business partners thing’ (apologies for my pandering the headache is headaching today).

Like in the current timeline he ‘miraculously appeared in their lives’. So I imagine there would be lots of little misadventures - similar to the chibi shorts - before they trusted each other to such a degree. Paticularly in college and such… and I’ll have to see the yingdu arc to be sure but… hmm I imainge tihngs would be different there as well. And I don’t think it’s needs to be dramatic at all, like it would be wonderous if their first tiem around they are just.. there for each other.

I saw this one headcannon where CXS would speak for Lu Guang if Lu Guang didn’t know what to say (in social situations). And I think it would go both ways tbh. With Lu GUang doing things for CXS if CXS is upset (similar to post-ep 5)

… I feel like I’m not answering this right. mmm i’ll come back to this and add more thoughts… after I nap.

OKay what changed for the timeline to change -

If one goes with the ‘Lu Guang didn’t have powers in the first timeline and CXS passed them to Lu Guang when he died in Lu Guang’s arms (very queer of him)’ theory, then they wouldn’t have had their time travel business in the first timeline. Perhaps CXS went on his own through photos, and one can theorize whether he went back in time for the same purpose of getting information from the photos… because a part of me is like: ‘what if he tried to find his parents?’

But considering that CXS brought up the idea of the time travel business to Lu Guang, one can assume he came up with the idea first… and after sleeping my brain still isn’t working sooo I might come back to this.

But perhaps the time travel business originally was CXS diving into photos on his own, Qiao Ling getting clients, and CXS is still becoming friends with Lu Guang.

Without Lu Guang’s guidance, I do imagine CXS might mess around in time, and wouldn’t know the parameters of what can and can’t happen. ANd perhaps because he went back into time on his own, could not tell anyone and didn’t have much support for how emotionally draining the photos are…. perhaps then he dethatched from the world (See CXS post s1ep5) and did off himself because of that.

Lu Guang is horrified because at this point they’ve gotten very close, and he goes back in time to save him. Ta da ta da!

Thank you for the ask!

(My apologies if this is incoherent, I might write some more on this later!)

Cheng Xiaoshi, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly: when i was a kid my sister told me that the paper strip thats in the chocolate kisses where edible and i ate them w the chocolate for like a year (A transparent Qiao Ling does a peace sign)

Lu Guang: they are !!!!!! (Transcript: Multiple exclamation marks)

Cheng Xiaoshi, chibi and delighted: WAIT FOR REAL??

Lu Guang, fingers steepled and eyes closed with disappointment: why would you believe in this again 😔😔😔😔😔😔 (Transcript: Multiple pensive emojis). End ID]
