I am unpleasantly surprised by the lack of Ningguang x Lumine fanfiction. 29 fics on ao3 (Wriowinne has 24, to help you understand the scale of the disaster).

I think the fandom is sleeping on these two.

[cuubism]

hello friends. despite my 9 million existing dreamling wips i'm feeling the need to branch out a bit for the sake of my mental variety. what pairing other than dreamling should i write a little something for? could be romantic or platonic

other way of phrasing i guess: any pairings you really want to see more fics for in the fandom?

Man how awkward must it have been for Alteon to interact with Gravelyn. Like surely he realized who Gravelyn’s mom was. He knew Valen was super in love with Lynaria and she apparently was with Sepuchure long enough to have a kid. He had to have connected the dots.

And what a revelation, your dead wife had a secret kid with your ex-best friend who’s now super evil who also ultimately killed said dead wife. And then said best friend is killed in front of you by the child of the tyrant you three overthrew together.

Now you have to make an alliance with this angry barely adult girl who looks exactly like her dead parents. And she’s trying to be mature and cold but she’s a child, their child, who wants to avenge and be like her evil dad. How do you even act in this situation??

And then you get captured by your own evil general and she comes to save you and you jump in front to defend her when Lionfang tries to kill her.

hi! I recently came across your tgcf fics, and I wanted to say you’re a phenomenal creator. the recovery series fic and the gloves fic and just all of them. thank you for your content and great attention to detail.

do you have any thoughts/hcs on FXMQ and Xie Lian you’d be willing to share? within the original story or the universes of your fics!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying them! (ﾉ*^▽^*)ﾉ.｡:*☆

hmm, random thoughts about the FXMQ... a silly headcanon: Feng Xin has very much been hoisted by his own petard by heckling Mu Qing! That is to say, he'll harass Mu Qing relentlessly about something stupid only to be confronted with a similar situation and realise that there's absolutely NO way he can act in anyway similar to Mu Qing or he'll never hear the end of it.

(For example, he has tolerated some truly atrocious divine statues in the past because he's heckled Mu Qing so much about how picky he is with his divine statues that there's no WAY he can say ANYTHING without seeing that smug bastard's face in his head so he just has to bite his tongue and tolerate some unspeakably ugly statues.)

Mu Qing doesn't generally suffer from similar overthinking (he'll just prepare to kick FX's ass if he dares to say anything about it) except for things more directly related to himself. I think he genuinely finds sewing/embroidery/etc rather relaxing work but he'd rather die than have anyone ever see him do it because he's made such a big deal about not doing that sort of "servant" work anymore.

(He actually really enjoyed stitching Ruoye back together because it gave him the perfect excuse -- he's returning a favour!! and Xie Lian is hopeless!! of course he had to!! -- and he secretly considered using white thread to embroider some invisible little designs just because he doesn't quite want to stop... only he knew he'd get caught if he messed with Xie Lian's spiritual device like that and gave up the idea)

So you know this party banter between Aveline and Carver?

Aveline: I don't like some of the people you've been associating with, Carver. Carver: Talk to my brother/sister. He/She's the one in charge.

If you're on the rivalry path with Aveline, she says:

Aveline: Who says I don't mean him/her too? This city's full of people who are dead set on ending badly. I don't want to see you end up the same way.

I just- Aveline, you- you're so- hhhhnnnngggggg

I always rival Aveline when I play a mage, and if you think Edgar Aristide Hawke, who practically raised Carver and Bethany after Malcolm died and Leandra became a distant mother in her grief, wouldn't stop dead in his tracks at Aveline heavily implying he's a bad influence on his brother and Carver shouldn't hang around him so much since apparently Ed's someone set on ending badly...? Absolutely not.

This is another case of me wishing Hawke had the option to jump in during party banter with different options, because Ed would've chewed Aveline out for that.

Oh, and then there's:

Carver: Would asking you to stop spying on me help in the least? Aveline: No.

Aveline...................stop it.

HI CALLING IN TO SAY YOURE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, GA MING IS THE TRANSGENDER ALLEGORY EVER !! TO QUOTE A POST I ONCE SAW “if a guy is hated by his rich parents then he’s automatically gay” WHICH HOLDS TRUE IN EVERY SITUATION BUT THIS ONE IN SPECIFIC !!!! RATTLING HIM

(ALSO, XIAO AND ZHONGLI… THE DYNAMIC EVER FOR SURE)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like . guy hated by rich parents is so gay coded but in some cases its just REALLY trans coded. i think in general its just queer vibes or maybe neurodivergent in a very very specific way .

but like. the way gaming is with his dad, especially their interactions towards the end. his dad saying "youre a good kid" . not son. kid. that reeks of a parent who still hasnt 'let go' of their kids assigned gender but is trying. the vibes. the energy. is just. its so.

How does somebody whose only shipped lesbian ships before become so obsessed with Erehisu?

Y'see, anon, it's a little something called "bisexuality"

Introducing a trio of D&D OC's of mine!

WHO ARE DOLVAN GREYFANG AND DELILAH WAKEFELD?

Dolvan and Delilah are warlocks. Or perhaps it is better to say, a warlock, singular.

Once upon a time, a humble swordsman from the city of Redmont was attacked by his intimate partner - bitten, and infected with a virulent strain of lycanthropy. The reason? His surname, Greyfang. He bore it by sheer coincidence, and apparently, the man he thought he trusted thought it a hilarious joke to turn him against his will based on this.

Dolvan did not take it well.

Dolvan launched a vicious crusade against the offending werewolf and his pack, and carved a bloody swathe across the continent of Nuviria, felling every lycanthrope in his path - their souls consumed and imprisoned inside a cursed sword of truly vile magic.

To create this weapon, Dolvan needed outside guidance.

Enter one Queen Yulara Uvarro, a Dwarven Vampire Queen of the Shadowfel - who, for reasons unknown, cured his lycanthropy, forged a warlock pact with the angry young man, providing him with the guidance to forge this first blade, and gifted him his second when sense began to prevail, and Dolvan destroyed the cursed weapon.

After a terrible final stand against a pack of powerful lycanthropes which left several close friends dead and the pack sundered, Dolvan's psyche shattered and his will broke, and he went into hiding, using his newfound magic practice to shapeshift his appearance into someone wholly unrecognizable.

Thus Delilah Wakefeld was born, and she would soon surprise both Dolvan and her Queen with the depths of autonomy she would come to demand. For five long years, Dolvan's persona lay dormant in the body occupied by Delilah, who busied herself in a frigid town to the far north, seeing off the occasional bandit raid or beast from the abandoned mines.

After this time, things began to change.

Dolvan and Delilah are now at odds for sharing the same body as well as each party's respective questionable decisionmaking - it was Dolvan who created that behexen sword, but it was Delilah who abandoned their existing life to go into hiding and pursue this newfound relationship with a Vampire Queen. From Dolvan's perspective, she only threw them from one frying pan into another. From Delilah's perspective, Dolvan was carrying them on a spiraling path of destruction that would doom them and what remained of their family - including a beloved younger sister, Calix Greyfang.

And so they go, day by day, attempting to reconcile their relationship to one another, as a singular entity and as individuals. A broken man and an angry woman, forced to coexist and learn from one another. All while the ominous spectre of their undead Dwarven patron looks on - watching. Observing. Taking in their growth, forcefully nudging them this way and that as the scenario demands.

But what does Yulara want with them, truly? Why select an ornery pair of human personas to grant a fraction of her power to? Is it for amusement? Genuine care or interest in their development? Or something colder, crueler?

Only time will tell.

from the trailers there are going to be at least 2 rg scenes (thank god) i don't know in what terms tho because i read an interview with kieran saying that he thinks there's no bad blood between them because she made the right business decision for her and "he knows" while j is always leaning towards "she wants to blow him up" sooo let's see

okay maybe i was exaggerating because i too have seen the trailers ajdjsjdbsbd but the interviews are kind of worrying because there's a bit of a difference between j and kieran's interpretations. it is hard to say since we haven't seen roman and gerri interact yet since all the bells say but i feel like we're going to get some answers in the upcoming episodes. so yeah we'll have to see!

"... I wouldn't say I pity Akechi necessarily, though... I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some truth to that-"

"I grew up with the guy. I know he can do better, but... it can be a little frustrating when he doesn't."

"Still... I guess that's kinda what friends are for. To root for you when you do right-"

"-and to smack the absolute shit out of you when you do wrong."
