OH ACTUALLY also junlian 👀

sicko.jpg but this meme didn't necessarily fully encapsulate what I feel about them....still bingo though. the Devotion is mostly one-sided here but it sure is devotion. hua cheng eat your heart out, you aren't the only one spending eight hundred years incurably obsessed with xie lian

also where is the fucking content, and why is what I have found not nearly weird enough (for me, personally)

[yuanzhous]

Ying'er for unhinged bingo 🥺

Double bingo! I don't know how this happened since you picked the character I am, famously, the Most Normal about 💖

2, 4, 6?

Thanks for the asks, lovely! 😘

2. Did you reread anything? What?

I don't often do rereads, but I did read over some chapters of Qi Ye for fic research + for the Immortal Wanderers group read, if that counts!

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Martha Wells and Taylor Jenkins Reid! I'm loving the Murderbot series so far (although I'm waiting until I get a kindle to read any more as the physical copies of the books are rather expensive), and Taylor Jenkins won me over with the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I've read three of her books right now with the fourth on my shelf for next year, so I hope it's as good as her other titles.

6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?

A few novels I haven't gotten around to due to time, but I suppose the one that I'm really annoyed at myself for not reading yet is the last book in the Thrawn Ascendancy series. I don't really know why I keep putting it off either, to be honest.

End of year book asks!

“I know you are flesh and blood.”

“Would you claim yourself something more exalted?” Lymond asked, but the quickened breath belied the calm of his voice. “An angel – lightbringer, perhaps?”

3 and 14 for Han Ying?

3. Scars/Painful spots

I NEED Han Ying to have a scar at the base of his neck, a knife that was held there in threat and broke skin but that he ultimately escaped from.

I don't have a real hc for how it came to be! I just think it would look extremely sexy and that wenzhou would agree with me and kiss it, often.

(He probably has whipping scars as well.)

14. Ingrained habits/forces of habit

Casing rooms when he enters them, circulating his qi when he's drinking to stay sober, carrying at least two (2) knives on his person.

@sugarbabywenkexing

Also the way you can let Shadowheart make her own decision but not Wyll!

Oh, true! If I remember correctly, the game does that thing with Wyll, where some of the choices have persuasion checks, so you can tell which one he'd prefer, but even then, there could have been an option to at least give that agency over to him to make his own decision. My boy really has been wronged. :(

okay, now that i had a sleep on it - i'm not sure how i feel about the game giving the same choice to wyll and shadowheart but framing it completely differently

“Stop it! We don’t have time for that!” he protests, but it’s utterly unconvincing since he arches his back and allows his feet to be kicked apart a little wider without even nominal resistance.

What fandom is this from? I'm not telling. 🤭 But I will say I'm working on three WIP's right now, so it could be either: - Horrible Machiavellian Sociopaths (affectionate) (Qi Ye) - Escape Room Gays (The Spirealm/Kaleidoscope of Death) - Van Life Polyam Disaster Triad (Mysterious Lotus Casebook)

astarion/durge/halsin & hanwenzhou: a manifesto

For @sugarbabywenkexing and @realitycheckbounced, because you asked, and I am more than happy to deliver.

Starting notes: I do not at all like reducing characters to simple archetypes/tropes, so trust that the complexities of the characters and their interactions are implicitly maintained, and this is of course not anything like a 1:1 connection (how could it possibly be), just core themes that stood out to me from both relationship dynamics.

Also, the Durge connection is going to be affected by how you personally conceptualize/play Durge, but I am writing this with a Neutral Resist!Durge in mind, so that's what we're going with for the sake of this meta.

Spoilers for both canons, but especially the Dark Urge backstory.

Durge & Zhou Zishu

[Using my own Durge, Kelis, for the image - incredible art by @somespareserotonin-please]

A cult leader of a murderous organization, with an ocean's worth of blood and evil on their hands, who has broken away from that past but doesn't expect or even pursue anything like forgiveness or true redemption.

These characters are so unique to me because they hold regret for their actions, but not in the traditional "past evil seeks redemption" way that is familiar. They're so much more complex in their motivations, desires, and conceptions of the world than that.

Astarion & Wen Kexing

Steeped in blood and spending the majority of their lives being taught that power is all that matters, and those who have power will only ever use it against those who do not. The only way to get out from under the heel of those above you is to overthrow them, take their position, become worse than they could ever be.

When free from the oppressive darkness they were "raised" in, even for a brief period, they grasp onto it with a bloodthirsty glee.

Halsin & Han Ying

Loyalty and devotion are the very core of these characters, deep-rooted. They feel the weight of responsibility upon their shoulders and they wear it like a mantle. When they make a promise, especially to one they are devoted to, they will see it through, no matter how long it takes, or how much it requires of them.

Relationship Dynamics

Astarion and Durge are to each other, in so many ways, what Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing are in another universe. They find each other at a time when their fates are at a point of divergence, and they find a kindred spirit - a kindred monster - within each other. They make each other better, but they do not make each other morally good.

Durge and Halsin have the capacity for a very similar relationship dynamic to Zhou Zishu and Han Ying. In an ideal situation, Durge is the one who makes it possible for Halsin to make good on his century-old vow to see the Shadow Curse broken. He showcases a great deal of respect for Durge as a leader, and a significant amount of loyalty and adoration for them as well.

Finally, Halsin and Astarion have the potential for a relationship with similarly disparate and flexible conceptions as Wen Kexing and Han Ying. They can be equal partners in truth, bonded first over their shared devotion to Durge, if provided enough time and narrative support to build such a relationship. They can be comrades with a bond of devotion only, not engaged romantically with one another but appreciating the other for their importance to Durge. They can be neutral parties, without true care for one another, but still cordial for the sake of their shared love. These are just three examples of a truly infinite number of variations.

Thank you for coming to my TedxTalk. All six of these idiots are so absurdly important to me. I'd love to hear any thoughts you may have!
