#that's the magic of fandom babey

[dan-crimes]

I'm gonna say it again but it is SO fun to have basically no context in how any of the Sonic characters truly act bcuz most of my info is from various fans talking about how they personally view the character and EVERY PERSON views the characters in a different way because that's how people work lmao so I just go around having to accept conflicting information constantly LMAO

[leluxiboi]

I’ve begun to reblog things more and now I have no idea what my blog is supposed to be

[rosesradio]

Hi, do you mind if I pick your brain about the pro/antiship thing? I'd like to check first because it's a dumpster fire of a controversy in fandom spaces and I'd 100% understand not wanting to touch it with a ten-foot pole. But also cuz it mentions somethin triggering+disturbing.I've always wondered what another person might think but I usually try to stay miles away from fandom drama, but you seem like, not chronically online about it

lmaoo thank you, i try to make my blog a chill, safe space to come to despite me being. Not chill about anything ever 😅

so here’s the definition of each that i added to the poll:

Proshippers argue that shipping is all fictional, so there is no harm in shipping characters who shouldn’t be together in real life. Anti-shippers argue that fiction reflects and influences real-world beliefs and behaviors, so fans shouldn’t romanticize unhealthy relationships. You can be proship and not ship any problematic ships, or vice versa.

i got these definitions, with my own addition at the end, from a Reddit thread you might find helpful.

so i’ve been in fandom for many years, and up until around 2022 i was mostly what would be considered an anti-shipper.

within the (*gags*) sanders sides fandom, there was a ship called remrom. this was the ship between the characters roman and remus, canonically twin brothers. i never shipped it, not my thing, and it caused a lot of division in the fandom. people would often put on their wattpad (yeahhh wattpad era babey) profiles & even their fics “dni & leave if you ship remrom, go die” etc. i don’t think i put that on my own fics, but i was hostile & blocked people i found shipping it. because how could you ship twin brothers, that’s disgusting!!1!

…the funny thing about sanders sides, though, is that all of the characters represent fragments of one guy’s personality. roman is his creativity, remus is his dark!creativity, etc. the fandom shipped many other pairings with the (non-related) characters, the most popular being Roman and Virgil (anxiety). (Yes this is causing me physical pain to type out thanks for asking 🧍). so all that exposition aside…we were all shipping selfcest. and in a way, is selfcest any worse than incest? i suppose that’s subjective, but it just goes to show a bit of hypocrisy.

i also shipped some “problematic” pairings over the years, but changed them up to be “non-problematic”. for example, i had a billdip fic in which i made bill bodily 15 to match dipper & had him turn magically human (does this make the ship entirely non-problematic? hell no lmao, but as is the way of 15-year-old rose)

so that aside, i joined tumblr in 2022, in the cobra kai fandom. there’s a ship in the cobra kai fandom called silverusso, a ship between an insane(ly hot? don’t look at me 🫣) karate instructor named silver and the main character, daniel larusso. this ship is extremelyyy toxic on several levels. for one, daniel is freshly 18, while silver is assumed to be in his 30s(?) during karate kid 3 (please watch karate kid 3 but also be sure you’re sober when doing so because the movie is a trip, lol). for another, silver essentially seduces daniel into devolving into a violent robot, primed for silver’s command & corruption.

now for me…i’m not going to get into the details because i don’t want to, but i had experienced trauma somewhat related to the silverusso dynamic the previous year (only with minimal karate, lol). even three years later, i am still impacted by said trauma in small ways. i was honestly insulted by people shipping this ship, because it felt like they didn’t care about victims & were romanticizing and sexualizing situations i was having nightmares about.

that is, until i made some friends in the fandom. i bonded with them on our common interests, and then i got to see a bit more into the silverusso shippers’ heads rather than the horrible things i was hearing about them from others. i learned that they really weren’t that bad people at all, all well-intentioned & respectful of boundaries. some of them were even victims of trauma similar to my own, who used darkfic as a place to vent their emotions. considering i had told very few people of what happened, considering no one really understood, i felt safe.

not to plug, but this is a fic i wrote sort of in that space lol

so anyways, i learned more & more about proshipping ways, profiction, anti-harassment, & anti-censorship. i adopted the take that fiction can be a good place to explore complex emotions or even just compelling ideas.

(because you do not need to be traumatized to be interested in darkfic! in fact, the anti-ship take of “darkfic is okay if you’re recovering from trauma” is often harmful to victims, forcing them to out themselves for a stranger to judge if they’re “traumatized enough” to be “allowed” write darkfic. people should be free to write whatever with no explanation, just respect to others & proper tags/warnings).

i would like to think that the anti-ship ideals are in the best interest of others. they often do speak from a place of wanting to respect trauma victims (even if the hate messages they’ve sent me aren’t very respectful, lol). i can see how easy it is to be swept up into the moral quandary of it all because i’ve been there. in fact, if i saw trauma victims who were anti-shippers today, who felt the same resentment i did in 2022, i would feel sympathy for them and wish them the best in their recovery. darkfic has definitely helped me, though it is not for everyone. (though to those people i would also recommend they block bothersome tags and try to clear it from their mind).

i do wish people would approach actual proshippers to ask the way you are right now, anon. i think the spread of misinformation on how “being proship = shipping only problematic pairings” or god forbid “being proship = being a pedo” means a lot of well-meaning people obviously are disgusted and don’t bother to seek out the actual meaning of the term.

you don’t have to ship problematic parings or like darkfic to be considered proship. in fact, a lot of my mutuals here only like fluff & traditionally “healthy” pairings, but they support people’s right to ship and write whatever they want, provided it stays in its properly tagged lane. it’s just important to not push for censorship on sites like ao3 (one of the last safe spaces for every kind of fanfic), as well as not harass anyone in fandom for what they do with fiction. it’s not proper fandom etiquette, and it’s not a good thing to do.

fictional characters are dolls. real people are real, as are their feelings.

one last thing

i hope all of that answered your question, anon, and feel free to return with any more questions you might have 💌

[ithilien-writes]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

aw, i love this game that's so fun. i'll limit to buddie since anything else is nearing on a decade old at this point 😅

in the order i wrote them:

a little less conversation - this was the first fic i ever wrote for 9-1-1 (in may! this insanity has only been since may!! 😭), so i was still getting a feel for it but i honestly still love it. lots of misunderstandings and talking past each other which is my favorite, especially for these two idiots

to save you from your old ways - one of the most self-indulgent things i've ever written. chris is literally magic in it and this is never really explained. truly baffling that other people have actually read and enjoyed it with me but that's what i love about fandom babey !!

not a demon, there's a reason - another chris pov, my love. i just really still enjoy the premise of this one. i re-read it a lot, i'm not even going to lie

when i see stars, that's all they are - the poetry fic !! i really stretched myself for this one and was honestly so so nervous about people reading my crappy poetry and everyone was so incredibly nice about it 🥺

under the rocks and stones - so, okay. i literally just posted this today. and it may not be the most technically sound story i've written by a long shot but omg. i have re-read this like 10 times today already and i just. i really like it okay. i'm really, really pleased with it. s8 eddie coma dream, you're real in my heart 🫶

Magical Boy Tournament: Round 5

Entrant Propaganda:

Syaoran Li

syaoran on the other hand is my fave baby bi

His growth is very well done.

He gets an emotional intelligence by clear card that's rare in anime boys

vote Syaoran he is in fact canonically bi and it blew my mind when i was 7 okay

plus he's really sweet and cute and he has an amazing character development through the series, and we talk shit about Touya picking up fights with a middle schooler all the time (as he deserves) but we need to talk more about the middle schooler who's totally ready to square up and steal his boyfriend... before dating his sister.

like he's the most Guy ever i love him so much.

Syaoran's one of THE og magical boys and one of the more competent ones too.

Syaoron didnt get dressed up as Sleeping Beauty in the school play to lose

Tadase Hotori

My dear son boy with a magical egg that turns him into a king.

Guys please support the prettiest prince dictator of the world please

like his magical boy name is “’platinum royal”’ and he’s covered in frills what else do you want

THA SHUGO CHARA FANDOM IS DYING VOTE FOR TADASE IF YOU'RE A REAL EGG HEAD

he's just a little boy who dreams of world domination

tadase's costume is literally so cute. babey boy

So frilly. So noble. So dorky he gets bullied by his own mascot.

[ask-stede-bonnet]

ooc: would you ever consider dialing back on Stede's engagement with CJ? he takes up so much oxygen and you interact with him more than with Ed even. it's kind of weird that he's allowed to insert himself into their inkeeper era so much, especially given how Stede responds to people who make Ed feel bad. shouldn't this kind of head canon saved for fic instead?

ooc: no. me and the jack mod are friends and this fun for us. I'm sorry you don't like it (and to some extent I get it... sometimes the threads get wayyyyy too long and lowkey annoying to scroll thru... oops). the ed mod isn't as active so that's why stede interacts with him less on tumblr. off tumblr it's all about that gentlebeard tho babey!! when stede turns off his magic box with tumblr in it, jack ceases to exist for him, do not worry.

this rp just has a gentler take on jack with a slow burn character development arc. ed and jack have already had an arc where jack crossed ed's boundaries, which upset him, and then they worked it out and are now trying to be real friends instead of pirate pseudo backstabby friends.

and isn't this a kind of fic? it's just interactive. there's the different blogs acting as the characters in the story, with y'all sending in asks to prompt things. it's improv fic.

while I am so, so glad to have brought a lot of joy and fun to so many people in this fandom, especially after the news of the cancellation, and then the news of the renewal campaign failure, this is my blog and I'm going to have fun with it as I see fit. I really do try my best to keep stede close to his canon characterization, and I'm sure I've probably done so poorly from time to time. I can even see why the whole jack thing would be ooc for him, but my thoughts behind that is 1) stede's attitudes and beliefs makes people's lives better, and on occasion make people better (izzy), and he sees jack as a challenge, and 2) stede does have a bit of a fuckboy party side a la 2x07, and he can get sucked into things. he's never had a Guy Friendship before, and he 100% felt left out as a kid when all the other boys were fucking around and he was just being relentlessly tormented.

if you don't like this blog, you can unfollow or block it. I don't mind. I'm a big believer in DLDR. you shouldn't sit through posts you don't like. or annoy you or make you unhappy.

I hope this has been a satisfactory answer!

cringe and free babey, cring and free

i aint tagging all of this lmao

[baileyboo2016]

opinion on hyrule (im so sorry about this i just want to read an entire essay right now)

Hyrule. where do i even begin. he is literally my baby bear my littol cinnamon roll babey boy baby and the sweetest little blorbo around. he is somehow underrated in the lu fandom like what is the reason?? he has the floofiest hair and i want to squish his littol face so bad (/affec) and run my fingers through his floofy hair and pick like little weed flowers from someone’s yard and stick them in his hair so he can twirl with the flower and make a daisy chain because i know he would be good at that. he is a horrible cook but that’s okay because cooking isn’t for everyone! also like you can’t go wrong with a blorbo who can LITERALLY TURN INTO A FAIRY. like COME ON. and he can use his magic to heal people and when he does so his hands GLOW?? like THAT IS SO COOL???? also he is willing to risk his own life to heal another link because he can’t let them suffer knowing he could have helped. like that is a pretty darn good heart you have there, rulie. he went through so much and survived great horrors (i mean he literally has a blood curse) and he still does everything for his family. also any fanfics when he passes out from magic exhaustion and wakes up in another links arms turns me into FERAL WILD CHILD. LIKE WATCH OUT BAILEY JUST READ A RULIE WHUMP FANFIC. also the dynamic between Hyrule and Legend oh my gods i could go on forever. bros will do anything for each other even though when they first met they tried to beat the shit out of each other. like talk about epic character dynamic! rulie is a great explorer even though he gets lost a lot which i don’t blame him for, the woods can get a little confusing sometimes.

TL:DR I LOVE RULIE 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹🥹

[mcrcki]

hello this is just a quick, but lowkey major, update for now unaware leia, and to get everyone who i have major plots with (or those who are just curious as this does affect the rp for a little while if you have any government characters lmaooo) up to speed!! so, look below for the rundown on how we ended up here and what’s going to happen now that we’re uhhh in another layer of hell 

how long has your character been here - 

so, while leia herself has technically been in the city for over seven years now, she believes she’s only just arrived. she’s moved to the city within the past month!! because … :) 

what is your character’s job -

say hello to senator organa !!!! she has absolutely no memory of being the president, and at the moment believes she is just a new senator who was elected and decided to move to the city within the past month. it’s been a whirlwind but man is she excited to start her new job

** for those who work in government, or are just here to know the drama : to the public eye, and what’s been distributed to the press is that president organa has taken a sabbatical, as she has been very publicly unable to keep a level head and has started to struggle with the pressure of the job. for the foreseeable future, vice president sheev palpatine will be stepping in as acting president, to give president organa the chance to recuperate and realign herself to be the leader you all elected. 

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom - 

lowkey gonna update her a little , and by a little i mean a lot. i think it’s time leia finally remembers the full eu / new canon , canon right?? i think so. :) so, when she is aware again ,,, she’s gonna remember up until her death 

has any magic affected your character -

yeah babey !!! we’re unaware !!!! everyone please stop cheering, you’re giving me a complex

extra information -

gonna give yall a like timeline / sparknotes of what happened to get us to this point and then just a quick overview of what unaware leia’s gonna be doing / the vibe we’re gonna have cause we’re doing something new instead of just , my girl vibing as president

so we all know leia’s been existing as darth bastilla, going around absolutely destroying her own life like a damn fool and blaming everyone but herself for it. as if anyone else is the reason she choked allana and stabbed her son but ok leia, we all believe you.

she forgot to check herself before she wrecked herself, killing kirei and putting a target on her back from her birth family starting to arrive. she got into a fight with kasil monsula (kirei’s uncle) and he ended up killing her after this fight. at least she didn’t get arrested , right? definitely the better option!!! 

if you see kasil, do not prosecute, he caught me slippin. 

but really, in terms of how things are working for unaware leia, we are going to be having her existing as a senator here, leaving palpatine in charge, which-- rip yall

senator organa is the daughter of bail organa (pls dont ask her to explain the age situation the magic just fudged all that up no worries) , she has moved to the city both because she wanted to be closer to her father, as well as finally taking office in dc after being elected as a senator. she’s excited for this new chapter, and is looking forward to the change of scenery. 

she will still have a detail, as the public believes that she is just taking a leave of absence as the president, so shout out to the bodyguard trope. she just thinks her father was feeling overprotective after her arrival in a new city, that it’ll be something to keep her safe while she adjusts to how things work here.

she’s got her own place downtown, it’s a little studio, but she’s happy to have some independence even if she isn’t the best at household tasks. she is becoming well known at the indian place down the street, they know her order by heart when she calls. she’s sure her landlord would kick her out if she tried to cook

in the meantime, she'll still be around in politics still, going to meetings, spending her days trying to make a difference, and is surprised at how quickly she was able to get clearance for a meeting with the president!!!! 

really, we’re getting classic unaware vibes, no memories of her kids or anything like that. existing as another figurehead in the city, and hoping she can really be a leader the people thought she had the potential to be. i’m so sorry already

Hello @wellbelesbian and @otherworldsivelivedin thanks for the tag. All my WIPs are crammed into two docs, once called “drabbles and one-shots” and the other one called “Non glee drabbles and one shots”, although the titles are misleading because I also write my multichapter stuff in this. (Unless it gets too big, then it’s moved to another doc.)

So here goes:

[gratuiciel]

(to the tune of running up that hill) you wanna hear about the fics im writing

u dont have to btw, especially if u dont know the fandoms im talking about (dq11 and tokrev) bc this will mostly sound like a bunch of nonsense if u dont

content warning for whump writing and descriptions of violence/injuries/captivity

first one is gonna be jasper//hendrik in a setting where the luminary doesnt show up on time at the last bastion and so hendrik has to surrender himself to save the people living there (bc he Knows they'll keep fighting if he asks them, and he Knows the whole siege is kind of his fault since jasper is doing this specifically to prove his military superiority over him). definitely gonna be whump in there. jasper keeps him captive in his sky fortress (hendrik cant exactly fly away) and mostly fucks with his mind, but then mordegon decides thats not fun enough and takes matters into his own hands (jasper eventually defects to the luminary while hendrik gets turned into a monster. role reversal babey!)

second one is a gen fic in which hendrik manages to go back to the past (eleven passed on his power during the final battle bc he was too injured to heal), so he's like okay ive got this im gonna fix everything also im literally proficient in both combat and magic thanks to the luminary's power so there is nothing i cant do... except that when he has to choose the moment where he wants to return he kind of panics bc there are so many things to fix, and the confusion as he formulates his wish causes him to return just a few weeks before the events of the game, except he's 6 now and he can't lift a sword anymore. get detective conan'd, idiot. (this is mostly bc adult hendrik with luminary powers would be op as fuck and therefore i had to nerf him and also force him to ask for help for once. he knows everything but cant say anything and he'll need to rely on others to save the world) the fic will then follow the canon story order but things will happen in a different way due to hendrik's interference

third one's premise is: chifuyu gets visions of the future instead of takemichi, and when he sees baji's future he jumps to take the hit in his place. when he wakes up in the hospital, he learns that baji took the blame for the stabbing (he's in jail now) and that his new hospital roommate (once his condition has stabilized) is none other than kazutora (he's been punched in the face a whole lot and got broken bones too). they cant get along at all and takemichi is tasked with watching over them (kazutora is in his division now). once kazutora has healed somewhat, he'll try to get revenge on kisaki and hanma for pushing him to stab baji. at this point he's just obsessed with vengeance and doesnt care abt his own personal safety and chifuyu gets visions of him getting into big big trouble and so he has to get him out of it each time. they grow to trust each other eventually. there is also this takemichi//kisaki subplot which i am cooking up, where kazutora sends dudes to fuck up kisaki while he himself is fighting hanma, and takemichi is the one to rescue (sort of) kisaki (he gets his ass kicked lol but him taking half the hits essentially means kisaki doesnt get beaten to death). then takemichi carries kisaki home to tend to his wounds and then the dude gets a fever and takemichi gets to learn somewhat abt his past and why he is like this. main appeal of the kisa//take subplot is that at some point takemichi will have to go to the future for information and find out that kisaki didnt kill hina bc he didnt propose to her bc now he's in love with him?? for some reason?? it's honestly so funny to me. also i just wanna flesh out kisaki as a villain and find out what couldve shaped his world view (needless to say his family life is Fucked up) anyway this will probably also follow the canon timeline except now kazutora is here to fuck shit up and takemichi is trying to understand kisaki (with mixed results), which will drastically change how things go i think (no idea how this will end yet. i havent even figured out how to make chifuyu and kazutora get injured enough to share a hospital room for some time but not too injured that they can make it to the christmas fight (theyll probably still be recovering by that time... possibility of additional angst by having surgery scars reopen and all))

[prynnehesters]

i realized im not gonna get the tiefling achievement my current playthru :( bcuz of my choices but i get to suck and fuck astarion so that's a win 4 me

i did this playthru to try some weird builds w astarion and gale and then try more weird respecs for other characters (im gonna make shadowheart a wizard maybe? i want to make wyll a sorcerer potentially)

idk if ill play more bg3 after i finish this playthru. i think my next one would probably be trying tactician with a different tav background or doing resist durge. i also have not romanced shadowheart at all (all other characters i've had at least 1 romance scene w except shadowheart...tbh she unfortunately is my least favourite companion. if i had to do a ranking of the main 6:

astarion (duh, he grew on me, i bring him everywhere, he is in my party 99% of the playthrough)

lae'zel (i use her a lot during act 1, and she's a real one, but i feel like she doesn't get much (if anything) in act 2. she died in one of my playthrus cuz orin took her and i legit cried)

wyll (i love him, he's so wholesome. i didn't use him much my first playthru but my second one he was w me 99% of the time to keep me in check)

karlach (i love her too, i was too mean to her when romancing her tbh. sorry for cheating on you like 5 times. but idk, i don't have as much of an attachment to her as a lot of ppl bcuz i killed her my first playthru, she was in and out of my party my second playthru, and then my last one i was evil durge so she and wyll left. it felt weird to get wyll's father w/o wyll lmaooo (i needed the buff))

gale (weirdly enough, my friends think im a huge gale lover/defender but like, his story is insane and he's sweet, from waterdeep, and has a tressym and a library, so like, king, but also i feel like ppl tend to exaggerate so much about him. like yes, he is a wet sock of a man, but also i feel like people either think he's a harrier dubois type or like, "burned your crops and plagued the land". he's just some wizard who thinks he's cooler/better than he is and is hyperfixated on magic. he's a little dumb (booksmart not street smart), but he means well, but can be swayed into doing dumb things. idk. i feel like gale and astarion are both mischaracterized by the fandom where astarion is like "uwu babey" and gale is like "evil malicious" when i'd probably say gale is chaotic good (and most of the characters are) where astarion is more chaotic neutral. tbh i'd say most of the companions are chaotic good if i had to align them.)

shadowheart

if i put the secondary companions, it'd probably be this:

astarion

lae'zel

wyll

jaheira (having her in act 3 is so good...she has so many interactions it's amazing. also her sass.)

karlach

gale

halsin (he feels correctly tacked on in the romance department, but he's very lacking in act 3)

shadowheart

minthara (feels too much like an after thought)

minsc (he's a meme and nothing more)

[blackkidgreenday]

silly introduction post he he ha ha hoo hoo

This is where all the magic is gonna happen babey, I have been wanting to make a blog dedicated to Green Day, my favorite band to an autistic degree, for over 10 years now, mostly a place where i can sit here and talk through all the albums and projects over the years, whether that be to myself or if anyone else wants to join. i dont care anymore about being popular online; but at the same time i am coming to terms that i am still struggling with feeling jealous of my old friends and peers who made it by being kind of annoying in certain fandoms or by making a post that went good or bad viral (which i have done too, to a lesser extent clearly, because im still fucking here slaving away at the tumblr mines), and i have to accept that because at this point, im a 25 year old college dropout that keeps getting more listless as the days go on, and my failures are my failures alone. Green Day has saved my silly little life more times than i can count, and for as long as i can remember, I've associated them with a form of white boy pain, anger, rage, and discontent with the world around me i could never express myself as a black queer autistic kid. being an alt black kid was never easy, i have been told i dont belong by white kids, niggas, and everyone in between, so fuck it, im creating my own space then and if you wanna join, welcome in ! I'm gonna start by simply ranking the albums and then breaking down each one in a way im always doing in my head but want to finally get in words ! the saviors tour being announced yesterday (im really gonna try to go to pittsburgh and hershey) really rekindled my already burning love for these old guys singing about the world burning and smoking weed... here's to a new chapter in my creator experience ! <3

[astralcurses]

bonus info:

okay so li susu has got some TRAUMA babey. she comes from an immortal sect in the mountains, and watched basically the entire sect, including her father and uncle, be slaughtered by the devil god, tantai jin. during the final fight, she found an artifact said to be able to lead to his destruction, left behind by the god of time. using that artifact and some other ancient magic, she goes back in time 500 years to destroy the source of his power and kill him, transmigrating into the body of ye xiwu (this is only possible because ye xiwu is actually her too, but we’ll get to that later) who, as it turns out, is both the worst person alive, and tantai jin’s beloathed wife. she proceeds to immediately make some incredibly questionable decisions, such as seeing that ye xiwu forced her husband to kneel in the snow for days and just leaving him there because she’s pissed he's going to kill her family in the future. she does, however, eventually realize that ‘hey maybe he went apeshit not bc of destiny, but because everyone just treats him like absolute shit’ and shows him the first bit of genuine kindness man has gotten since like... infancy. she lies to him that she’s fallen for him and that’s why she’s different now, and then actually does fall for him and is kind of pissed off about it. 

they proceed to not communicate at all about anything ever because they’re both idiots, culminating in her shooting six spikes into his heart on their wedding night because she thinks he committed some murders he did not commit and is truly irredeemable. she does not manage to actually kill him this way, he’s understandably pissed the fuck off, and she ends up in confinement, where the actual murderer confesses and causes her to have the biggest ‘i am a moron’ realization ever. she eventually dies to take tantai jin’s evil bone (i swear to god that’s what it’s called they keep talking about his bone being in her and i’m too immature for this shit) from him so he doesn’t have to become the devil god.

upon dying, she transmigrates back into her real body, in a much different future than the one she left, and realizes that while she did fix that problem, she still has the evil bone in her (lol), and needs to find a way to get rid of it. surprise surprise before she can do this tantai jin shows up like hello i have actually been looking for ur soul for 500 years, and she has a whole breakdown. it’s then revealed she’s adopted and is actually the daughter of the lord of evil and a phoenix goddess. she handles this better than literally all of her other drama, even though objectively it’s the one i think i would be the most upset about. and with how phoenixes work, their soul needs to go through trials before they can be fully born, hence ye xiwu being the worst person alive, as she was all the worst parts of li susu. 

she’s an absolute icon who fights with a HARP (that’s actually her dead mom’s spirit but we’re not touching on that it’s complicated) and while she can be a complete and utter moron sometimes, she’s always determined to do what she thinks is the right thing, even if it will hurt her in the long run. she’s very much a ‘for the greater good’ kind of bitch, but mostly only when ‘for the greater good’ involves self sacrifice she definitely struggles with the ‘kill one person to save many’ part of that ideal. i will finish this when the show is done but she’s a badass and an idiot and i adore her while also constantly questioning every choice she makes
