anecdotes about yibo during btf filming by his co-stars / video source / :

Lu Xin : i really admire him, because we all know that he is very different as a top star. At the time we were shooting, in the gobi desert, all the actors will stay in tents and big stars like yibo will have their own exclusive lounge. but he only stayed in his lounge area for the first day and never stayed there after that. he stayed with us everyday in our tent, we stay and eat together everyday. we would chat and spend our private time together.

so how did he join us the first time? we were having lunch and grabbed our meals, and ate, so when yibo finished his shots he was supposed to go back to his lounge area and eat. but he came to our tent and stood there. he was a bit embarrassed because there was no seat for him. so he was standing there, pretending to dust his clothes. he had been there for a while and we called him over, grabbed a chair for him. his team asked him if he was eating here or in his area, and he said to bring his food here — i’m eating here. so he stayed in that small corner with his food and ate. I was like — come on, make room for him so all of us started to eat together.

from then on, almost every meal of every day, we all ate together. yibo wouldn’t eat much — his leftovers all fed to those guys — everyday yujia would ask him — yibo are you still gonna eat this? So Yujia ate a lot of Yibo’s food. Yibo never ate extra food. He only ate the food required by his fitness instructor. Very impressive.

Yujia : How well did yibo get along with us? We didn’t have a lot of gym equipment in the hotel, so we’d go outside to train. When we went, people would rarely recognize us as actors. But if yibo went.. yibo wouldn’t usually go to commercial gyms,

Lu Xin : because it would be troublesome, there might be a commotion

Yujia: But he doesn’t care, he asked — where do you guys train? I’ll go there too. There were other people in the gym, he would wear a hat. He just wanted to spend more time with us. So he would get along with us better. He doesn’t have idol baggage. He was really easygoing.

Lu Xin : exactly. he trained with us all the time. for him, going to public places is inconvenient. So he would always wear a hat and mask. Just think about it, it’s hard to exercise with a mask on. But he’d keep it on for more than 2 hrs and that was impressive.

Yujia : Yeah, he was very warm.

1, 10 and 13 for Anya?

1- What are your OC’s best and worst qualities? What do they think are their best and worst qualities?

Anya's best qualities are just her overwhelming kindness and warmth (hence why her Interceptor form "title" is Warmth). She loves so much and would give her all for those she loves, and that's what pushes her to succeed even when her stress and burdens are overwhelming, and these traits actually make her a very good leader for the group alongside Aelita. Her worst qualities is mainly just how much she internally, and sometimes externally, puts herself down. Despite being very skilled and strong, she doesn't 100% believe that she is and is incredibly hard on herself for no reason. Erin doesn't tolerate any of this and has been trying to get her to stop, but it's a slow process due to this being based off of her incredible amounts of built up and bottled up trauma both from during Rejuv and in her past live.

Anya thinks her best quality is... well, how dedicated she is? It's not something Anya thinks about though, but she thinks being willing to be there for her loved ones, even die for them if she has to, is a good thing (though uh... maybe the last part isn't something she should have on her mind so much....). She thinks her worse quality is how underqualified she thinks she is to be a leader or the Interceptor as a whole.

10- What is their MBTI type?

I don't know and to be quite frank i don't want to take that test for this right now (maybe another time..?)

13- What are their views on marriage? If they want to get married, what would their dream wedding be like?

Marriage is not on her mind at all, she's more worried if either her or Erin are even going to be alive by the end of it all, or if she somehow fails to change fate if there will even be an existence for her at all.

But... she has had brief thoughts. That maybe a life with the girl she loves would be lovely. If she did manage to get married, her wedding would certainly be small and cozy with all her friends being there, and lots of flowers.

hi I miss luci :(

[bougiebutchbitch]

Ideal OFMD ship dynamic: several smaller polycules all converging upon Izzy, who is somehow in a relationship with everyone, although he may not realize it

gjhjhjffgjhjfhfhjfh okay this is ADORABLE. Izzy being slowly subsumed into every polycute on the ship, as the glue that holds them all together... I'm obsessedddddd

Izzy sloooowly, over the course of a whole year, going from a prickly litle hedgehog to... a prickly little hedgehog who will roll over and let the crew stroke his somfte tummy. And he's still vacillating between 'Bonnet's crew are Weird. This is obviously just how a Weird crew interacts. I am part of the crew, and thus they are being Weird with me too' (completely oblivious to how he is being hardcore romanced from every imaginable angle), and 'obviously they're just being nice to me out of pity. I am, however, pathetically touch starved and can't help but lean into the snuggles, and I'm trying to be A Better Boss so I'm not yelling at them after, even if their affection kinda freaks me out'

I like to think Ed and Stede are the LAST to get in on the Izzy action because they're very wrapped up in each other, but then they slowly realise Izzy's become wayyyy more grudgingly affectionate with literally everyone else and is just. Casually sitting on Wee John's lap at mealtimes with Frenchie's head resting on his thigh. Or rolling his eyes when Lucius sneaks a squeeze of his ass instead of laying him out. Or helping Roach chop vegetables because he's good with a knife, the two of them working in a silence that feels entirely comfortable.

And they're like. Izzy is a fuckable NPC??????

I also like to imagine that they're the only ones who Izzy makes work for it, hohoho

My Lover's Phylactery by FrodaB

Cullen Rutherford/Female Inquisitor | G | 1472 words | No Archive Warnings Apply Author's Summary: She doesn't destory it Mer's Rec: this is an excellent piece that fills the gap DAI left (imho) about Trevelyan's phylactery! There's some excellent introspection from the Inquisitor and a bittersweet but somft and heartfelt ending between Cullen and his love.

Bent, Not Broken by spirrum (@spirrum)

Fenris/Female Hawke | G | 1595 words | No Archive Warnings Apply Author's Summary: In which Hawke doesn't run off to Weisshaupt, and an angry elf turns up at the Inquisition's door. Mer's Rec: this is a little slice of interpersonal relationships that beautifully captures Hawke's spirit! It starts with some platonic Hawke & Varric, perfectly encapsulating the exhaustion both of them feel after HLTA, and transitions smoothly into the heart-tugging reunion between Hawke and a frustrated Fenris who's very much in love.

last man standing (perhaps) by havvke (Wintertree)

Charade Amell & Carver Hawke & Female Hawke | T | 6749 words | No Archive Warnings Apply Author's Summary: Hawke’s teeth glinted when she grinned, except for the gap of her missing left dogtooth. Funny how they did that, even in such poor lighting. Glinting. Hawke barely seemed real. They’ve gone on a mission or two together since that initial, embarrassingly disastrous meeting, and it was still shocking that the woman lived up—if not surpassed—her nearly legendary status. Compared to the other missions Charade led with the Jennies, this was somewhat easier than her normal fare. But while Hawke was a known figure, and by technicality kin, Charade still didn’t know her. Mer's Rec: Okay, I'm admittedly biased toward this piece, because it was a gift for me as part of the 2023 Platonic Ideal Exchange. That being said, it is an INCREDIBLE work of sibling dynamics and I think of it whenever I think about Charade Amell. Havvke explores the relationship between Charade as a Red Jenny, Carver as a Grey Warden, and Hawke as...Hawke, in a beautiful web of complicated choices and found family. Over a year later, it still holds up as one of the best exchange gifts I've ever received.

Doggone by leggywillow (@leggywillow)

Alistair/Female Warden, Alistair & Anora Mac Tir, Alistair & Warden's Mabari | T | 3042 words | No Archive Warnings Apply Author's Summary: Alistair and the Warden are no longer together, but they still exchange letters - through Dog. Alistair struggles to find happiness in his life as king, but he isn't entirely alone. Mer's Rec: I read this one just recently and oh my GOODNESS it both made me laugh and also pulled at my heartstrings. Leggy alters the canon breakup between a King Alistair & the Warden to be somehow even more heartbreaking and the way that he talks to Dog is just so essentially Alistair, I could hear every line in his voice. Add to that several well done bits between Alistair & Anora and this piece absolutely delivers on the "sad" and "heartache" in the additional tags.

That Word You Call Me by thewitchofthewilds (gossamerstarsxx) (@saiyanshewolf)

Female Lavellan/Cullen Rutherford | T | 1768 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Author's Summary: The first time she tells him she loves him is the time he needs to hear it the most Mer's Rec: I love this piece for the intermingling of angst and fluff between Lavellan and Cullen. It leads in with one of the better descriptions of nightmare panic that I've seen and the way that Lavellan grounds Cullen from it is smooth and heartfelt, as is his reaction to her comfort. It caps off with some sweet fluff and a taste of human/elf relationships dynamics, for which I am a sucker, and which end the fic on soft, heartfelt note.

Sleep Well by sunflowersfield

🔒 Sleep Well

by sunflowersfield

G, 3k, Wangxian

Summary: “I have feelings for Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan whispers to himself, but a tiny voice in the back of his mind tells him that this is not enough. “I have romantic feelings for Wei Ying,” he says, and yes, that is the whole truth. Perhaps he will be able to rest now. Or: Three months after inviting Wei Ying to move in with him, Lan Zhan’s insomnia returns. Kay's comments: Reading this fic while suffering from insomnia yourself is quite the experience, but ah, I'm so glad for Lan Zhan in this story! Because his insomnia makes him confess! And it all works out for him! Though before that, there's some delightful angst as well. As always, sunflowersfield's Wangxian is so somft and beautiful to read. I love the characterization and their relationship development. Excerpt: When Wei Ying first moved in, Lan Zhan’s routine did not change much. He continued with his usual sleep schedule, ate his dinner at the same time each day, and completed all his daily activities as planned. There was no reason for these routines to be disrupted by a roommate, not even one as energetic and distracting as Wei Ying. As a result, Lan Zhan is shocked when he finds himself unable to sleep for the first time in many years. “There is no logical reason for me to be awake,” he whispers, and in the stillness of his bedroom, the words seem to reverberate back at him. His eyes are not used to adjusting to the darkness of this hour, so he squints at the clock on his bedside table, wondering how late it has become. He has been sitting in bed, wide awake, for four hours. Earlier that day, Lan Zhan had made Wei Ying a cup of tea. In response, Wei Ying had thanked him, looked him in the eye, and given him a smile that was wide enough to overtake his whole face. Now it is one o’clock in the morning, and Lan Zhan cannot seem to get this particular smile out of his head. “No logical reason,” he says again.

sorry im gonna be evil and toxic for a sec but selfshipping promps and imagines and tags in general bore me so bad. its like ALL of it is focused on surface level soft comfort and huggy smol bean energy i feel like im stuck in foam and eating oatmeal. community spaces in general too, its all uwu somft fluffy and sanitized like even spaces where villanous or morally gray characters are "accepted" theres always an unspoken rule that u have to make them as palatable as possible to be accepted (keep in mind im deliberately seeking out adult only spaces which makes me feel even more crazy when this happens) like can we PLEASE have some variety. do you think mustard is spicy. im losing my mind i feel like everywhere i go is a retirement home. we as a people HAVE GOT to get more evil its good for the environment.

CHILDREN’S DAY CANDIES. 🍭🍬

let’s call this part one of today’s cpns cause i’m waiting for xzs side to share stuff and knowing that LOZ just wrapped, we might get something on that too. but i can’t wait to scream about these! good turtles really got the sweets for today!

let the two cute babies invite you in… ⬇️⬇️⬇️

to those who have no idea what this holiday is about, then this might help you.

starting off the day with yibo’s audi ad. he really remains unbothered despite all the chaos, it’s business as usual on his side. and that is the reality of his life: it goes on. no matter what happens or who try to bring him down. he will continue to shine ✨ the story for the ad was so interesting, it was so nice to see him “cooking” and it’s giving me flashbacks to his other efforts. this is more of me as a cpf thinking about how yibo could also be making an effort on his own to cook, even if it’s not elaborate dishes. the fandom loves to paint xz as the “wife” who does the cooking but maybe yibo does too? and that grocery scene? AAHHHHHHH! domestic yizhan is my weakness. so while they walk into a store all dressed up like that, the thought makes me somft. considering there is a possibility too that they will be in the same city soon 🙏🏼

then xzs reposted menghai’s anniversary post which some are saying is unusual for them but who knows. WHAT GETS ME THO IS THE CAPTION. the fuck.

WHO FAMOUSLY SAID THIS? to the point that it became a tagline for the fandom. Yibo. Yibo during all the drama that happened during Hidden Blade’s showing:

WYB: like what the director & that audience said, a movie can create a lot of thoughts but u still need to continue with ur life. for Wuming, i hope we can exchange sincerity with sincerity. we made this movie with our heart, so we sincerely hope that people will like the movie.

I’m not sure if this is some usual line or saying in 🇨🇳 with some literary relevance but the fact that it is associated with WYB gets me! XZS is known to do really good captions but using this? after all that happened with magnolia noms? i think it is not a coincidence. this feels like an indirect message. i am positive that they really intend to wish menghai a happy anniversary but the hidden meaning is not lost on me.

not only that…. they seem to match yibo-official’s caption too.

The wind blowing in the wilderness // The wind galloping in the wilderness 🍃

the wind. in the mainland, WOF title is called Wind Chaser. i can understand it from YBO’s perspective and why that was included. but XZS? another coincidence????

and the caption for YBO had a paper plane which is a symbol that we associate with them 🫶🏼 ( i have a post for this but i cannot find it lol. if someone here does, please comment. )

and as for the drawing, it’s very common for cpf to think that xz made it. not saying that ybo has no team of his own that can do it for him, but more of this is xz’s love language. making art for the person he adores. the fact that the t-shirt chibi yibo was wearing is inspired by that video of him dancing in 2011 was a nice touch.

the cartoon was supposed to be based on the photo which was from the olympics performance rehearsal — but to make it fit the Children’s Day theme, that was added. it is made by someone who loves him!

not to mention some other details that stood out to us. i bet you can analyze each in every composition of it and make a cpf analysis but these are the interesting bits:

but i’m more partial to that pig nose on the shoes! hahahahaha! when fans tease yibo, he becomes a pig instead of a lion/panther and this cheeky addition i feel like can only be added by someone close to him. a person who can get away with it 😂😂😂

the photo used had him with the green/pink shoes! plus the video shared, THAT HAT! ( i linked part 3 of my cpn post in but parts 1&2 are there for those who are not familiar or want a refresher) ! he is showing off again! can’t blame him tho.

sources: one / two / three / four

Small titty gf/bf

Thomas

•It really won’t cross his mind. What do you mean they’re too small? He loves them! And anyway he has enough titty for the both of you.

•But on a real note, Thomas has horrible self image problems. He can relate to disliking a part of your body. He’ll be there for you no matter what!

•If Hoyt, god forbid, says absolutely anything negative about you or your chest….. Thomas will hang him from the second story in an adult sized baby bouncer.

•Speaking from someone who lives in a rural area and has modern day Hewitts running around, they won’t care. Southern people don’t really judge on looks unless you look lgbt 💀 (and even then probably won’t say anything, most will also not give a shit).

•Thomas is more of an ass, thigh, and tummy guy anyway, so maybe you’ve lucked out! And if not, Thomas doesn’t care about looks whatsoever. He’s really the least judgement guy ever

Bonus: Michael

•Your what are too small? *aggressive deadpan* get in the bed-

•Will suck on your titties to show you how fucking stupid your being- his words not mine!

•He loves your body. Your his so stop insulting his favorite thing.

•will be a somft boy and cuddle you when ur feeling insecure

A/n: sry is so short! Motivation has been an issue for me lately. But I’m trying to complete some requests!

[mehoymalloy]

I am thinking about the Imotohan strap on fic A LOT like my mind is just going over the snippet you gave us over and over, I'm obsessed and omg your writing is too good

I've been so focused on the Judicator AU that I haven't touched any of my other WIPs and likely won't for a couple more months... But here! Have links to the one snippet I've posted that you for sure know of, and one ask prompt that has absolutely been absorbed into the (oh god it's 13k) draft. Also, here! Beneath the cut are two new, very rough, and indulgent as hell snippets to hold ya over; one from the beginning and one from the end!

Otohan gets cocky.

Imogen gets cocky (and somft).

How it started:

"I should've done this then," Otohan growls in her ear. "Bent you over and fucked you until you screamed loud enough for your friends to hear where they wait just outside."

And Imogen nods. Of course she nods, because this is just a dream, and Otohan loves it when she says yes, when she can't deny them and doesn't even attempt to. Whether Imogen freely admits it with a slip of the tongue or Otohan has to claw it out of her little by little.

"Out loud, Imogen."

And when she says yes, Otohan's heart nearly skips a beat. They normally hate dreams like this. They're never good enough. They never do Imogen justice. They're always just a little off. But Otohan has heard Imogen produce a handful of sounds—their name, the word yes, a broken cry—enough for their desperate imagination to reproduce it just right. For it to be so close to perfect that Otohan can forget, that they can pretend.

It makes it easier to let themself believe then, that it could almost be real, when the scene shifts and Otohan finds themself surrounded by people they've killed and now know the names of, with Imogen squirming in their lap but making no attempt to free herself. Her thighs tremble as Otohan pushes their hands up beneath her skirt, and her stomach shudders with gasping breath as Otohan unfastens the button of her shorts.

"Otohan," Imogen murmurs aloud, heedless of their shadowy surroundings, the faces of her friends frozen in time—none of them looking but nevertheless there.

Otohan hums in question as they stroke their fingers through her small clothes, smirking slightly when Imogen leans her head back against their shoulder.

"Please," Imogen gasps.

Otohan frowns—that breaks the illusion slightly, Imogen would never say please.

"What do you need?" Otohan asks. The question is shaped with purpose, pressed against Imogen's neck so that Otohan's own mind can offer up a phrase they've heard before, one that cuts deeper than Otohan would ever admit. They open the wound now because it at least makes this all feel just a little more real.

"I don't need you," Imogen hisses against their ear.

Otohan's smirk is bittersweet as they { slip } their fingers beneath Imogen's small clothes to press against warm, wet skin. "So you insist," Otohan says, pressing in and curling one arm around Imogen's waist to keep her close as she automatically arches.

How it's going:

Imogen is done with patience. On the next thrust, she rolls her hips back to meet them, takes over half the length and is already gearing up to do so again when Otohan grabs her hip, fingers digging in to hold her still, flexing when Imogen whines.

Otohan keeps their hips back as they lean over Imogen, planting their hand beside her own on the bed as they whisper in her ear. "I said, patience."

Imogen groans but hangs her head as she stills, waits for Otohan to set the pace, careful to follow it lest they stop again. Still too slow, too soft. But this time, that softness doesn't make her uncomfortable, it just drives her wild as she fights her own desire to make Otohan go faster.

"Make me?" Otohan grunts with clear amusement before abruptly snapping their hips forward, thrusting a little harder. Imogen groans softly, hips twitching with the effort not to move. "Why don't you ask me?"

Imogen lets her knees slip farther apart, making it all the easier for Otohan to thrust deeper, but her silent request isn't enough.

"Ask me, Imogen." The words are hot against her skin, a cool caress to her mind.

"Otohan…" Imogen moans, arms shaking as she lowers herself to her forearms, { racked by } the jolt of arousal that shoots through Otohan at the sight of her, the sudden urge they have to sink in deep.

{ "Mm-hm," } Imogen moans a vague affirmative, tilts her hips higher, inviting them to follow through with the rogue desire, gasping when Otohan almost does, hips twitching as they hold themself back.

Imogen balances her weight onto one arm, reaching back with the left to grab the back of Otohan's thigh, fingers digging in as she tugs them forward, manages to pull them { the scantest inch } further inside her.

Otohan grunts at the touch, abruptly slides their hand from Imogen's hip up her back, presses hard between her shoulder blades until her arm buckles, chest pressing down into the bed, cheek turning to slide against silk sheets as she releases a strained gasp.

"You stubborn–"

"Please, Otohan," Imogen gasps. Both hands move to tangle hard in the sheets, though she doesn't push herself back up. She arches her back further still. 

Otohan's breath is trapped in their chest, their ears are ringing, that single word echoing in their mind. Their voice is far too strained when they say { "I didn't say 'beg.' I said, ask, Imogen." }

Imogen doesn't hesitate. "Please, Otohan, will you please– just…" Imogen trails off, and Otohan feels her get stuck, can't find the right words. 'Fuck me' isn't right but neither is 'make love to me' and she reels around those two phrases as they tangle on her tongue until all that comes out is "Fuck, Otohan, will you please stop teasing me?" Exasperation and desperation { sound so pretty on her. } And she did ask.

Talk about some of your favorite experiences on this website if you feel comfortable doing so! I'm meaning favorite threads, partners, muse experiences, etc. You've gone through a lot of hardship across multiple blogs yet you never give up and you keep doing what you love so I figured it'd be nice to talk about the positive stuff that helps you to keep going despite all the trouble.

◌・❀➵ Okie so this is gonna be long post so everyone grab a drink n some snacks! I just wanna start with that if it wasn't for my mutuals I have no idea where I'd be, ya'll have been with me through so much and some of the hardest times of my life and I can't thank everyone who has stayed enough.

◌・❀➵ FAVORITE THREADS/INTERACTIONS

➵ @ervaurem ➵ Listen the family stuff with Law and the sisters is my weakness. It's been since 2021 that the fam has existed and I heccin cri. The treasure hunt thread has my heart,,

➵ This one is fairly recent but with @riftdancer, @ofstarsandskies, and @mathcs the whole Jude is evil arc has been so much fun so far!

➵ This was more so on discord but the relations have made their way to tungle but @pyonpyonpyon, @forgottenluck, @talesofourworlds, @mathcs, and @broadswordandpistol the sad boi drinking hours,, it was so cursed and sad at the same time, and it was such a highlight to me.

(sry it took so long, I blame school and having to go afk for a while bc ✨wifi issues✨ and ill be trying to post a fic on weekdays)

Goultard x gn angel! Reader-my angel🧡

Reader is a gender neutral angle referred to as y/n

Y/n was an angel created to help the gods and way they can, and they end up falling for a certain someone ;)

Goultard was waiting at the entrance of Ingloriom for you, tapping his foot. You finally arrived, and he looked at you. "Hey, y/n! Your finally here!" He said as he looked you up and down, smirking slightly.

"Uh... Yah... I am, master Goultard..." You responded, blushing slightly.

"Just call me Goultard," he winked at you.

"Right... Goultard...?" Your very hesitant to call him just Goultard, and blushing a bit from his flirting.

"Yup, that's me," He says while smirking, you nod, still blushing.

"Alright, so... I gotta show you around Ingloriom, come on y/n!" He stated as he starts showing you around Ingloriom

..........

So you guys tour around Ingloriom. He shows you all the temples, and you had noticed him staring at you a few times as you introduced yourself to the other gods/goddesses, and you two finally arrived at the Iop temple. "Come on into my domain!" He said as he leads you into the temple, spreading his arms out and walking backwards, gesturing to the entire temple.

It's full of badass Iop statues and training equipment. "Pretty cool, right?" He asked.

"Yah... It is pretty cool, Goultard" you responded as you looked around.

"Good, glad u like it!" He exclaimed, smiling at you brightly, and you smiled back.

..........

Through the next couple of weeks, you and him fell into a comfortable routine, you went to whichever god/goddess needed assistance, and if there was no need, or you were done, you chilled in the Iop temple. He often invited you there when he was training, so you could look at his nice, toned muscles. He flirted with you on a regular basis, and as you got used to it, it flattered you more than anything. He also called you "my angel" a lot. Hopefully, though... This flirting might actually lead to something...

..........

Goultard asked you to come to his temple, and you thought he would be training. To your surprise, there he was, not training, but holding flowers. He was wearing what he would usually wear, except he had a bowtie on. "Hello, my angel," he greeted you.

You blushed slightly "hi, Goultard, what are those for?"

"You, obviously," he responds, smirking, and holding the flowers closer to you.

You blushed more, "M-me..?"

He nods, "yup, for you, my angel," he flirts, smirking more.

You take the flowers and sniff them, "they smell great, Goultard," you said

"So you'd go on a date with me?" He moves to the side and reveals a fancy table with platters of fancy food about 10-15 ft away.

You blushed more, "y-yah..."

You both sat down and started eating, "its delicious!" You exclaimed.

"Thanks y/n, I actually made it," he responded, full of pride.

"What? Really? Nice!" You smile at him, and he smiles back.

..........

Y'all finish the fantastic food he made (yes in my mind he's good at cooking, especially if it's for him and/or u), and he gently grabbed your hand and covered ur eyes, pulling you towards something. Before long, you've made it to your guy's destination, and he uncovered your eyes.

A beautiful view of the Krosmos is revealed, and he holds your hand gently. "Quite a view, eh?" He gloats.

"Yah..." You marveled at the beauty, and he smiled at you gently.

"And they all said I couldn't be romantic..." He looks to the amazing view himself, gently squeezing your hand, to which you squeeze back, and enjoying the feel of ur hand in his...

The End🧡

(Somft flooffff~ btw LOVED making this, yk, when I wasn't SEVERELY STRUGGLING w/ it... But I think it turned out ok)

[arttrampbelle]

Dunno bout y'all but shang tsung would be soft for his s/o

Sorry not sorry but shang tsung to me IS somft for his beloved.

Because your probably the only person he's been with for like how long,you put up with him,and honestly would he find anyone like you ever again? Probably not.

So no. His s/o don't NEED to be like him to be with him. They just need to accept him and he's gonna be well....a dark sorcerer. Plain n simple.

Sure it would be nice to find like minds. But i dunno shang doesn't strike me personally to go after someone that is an exact copy of him or tries to be like him. He like genuineness above all else. Ironically.

If you can be yourself. And who you are honestly. And are absolutely undyingly loyal to him.

It doesn't matter how cunning or "intellectual" you are. It doesn't matter what your personality is.

He values loyalty,honesty,and genuine people. Because those people he can actually fucking keep around and not stab him in the back when plans go off the rails.

Which unfortunately he tends to hire or associate with.

So to have you,who is loyal,trusting,and bound to him. Soul or not.

Is a fucking treasure.

Look man i get it. You wanna be like shang. He one cool dude. I feel you. But there is only one room for a cunning binch. And thats him.

So if you're trying to match him,good luck. Because he'll see right through that and walk away.

But if its genuine. He'll stay. But dont be fake.

There is a difference between him with business partners or friends/allies and romantic partners or even a spouce.

Like for anything closer it needs to be something worth keeping yes. But again it doesn't NEED to be like him to catch his eye.

In all honesty.

Someone who he can be genuinely domestic with and take off the evil sorcery mask around would be a breath of fresh air to him. He could let down his walls for fucking once.

He is happy to be around you. And only you.

Could he be clingy,sure. Possessive? Sure. But you are well taken care of. Nobody's gonna fuck with you on his watch.

Also if you cant fight,he'll teach you. You wanna learn magic. Become the sorcerer's apprentice. No. Not the movie.

Just also make sure its not soul magic or anything heavier. Because he's very particular about that. But thats out of protection for himself AND you.

But any of invocations of magic is perfectly acceptable. Elemental is the easiest and most likely.

But yeah,he'd happy to teach you anything he knows. Tbh shang tsung would totally take in an apprentice he can mold to his desires. Especially to take down a certain thunder god. Hee hee.

Some of y'all have a decent idea on him. But miss the point he doesn't need someone to be like him.

In fact.....thats boring.

He would want someone he can cherish. I wouldn't put it past him to slowly unbeknown to you. To slowly increase your lifespan or slow your aging with magic. Sure you may not know it at first. But after maybe a decade or so....you question some shit and go "hey wait a minute"

I dunno man.

Shang i honestly don't think gives a fuck about superficial crap much. He acts like it. But thats not what keeps him.

He's over 500yrs old. Do you honestly believe anyone that long lives gives a fuck about superficial crap?

No. Not even the vainest mofo would give a damn after a while. It would get boring.

I know my villains honey. And i know these archtypes.

But all in all.....at the end of the day.....does it matter?

No. Because you,reader,you are the special exception.

Shang would totally love you no matter what the hell your personality is like. As long as your genuine about it.

Thats all he'd care about.

So dont listen to these x readers that have "oh he wouldn't like so n so" or "he wouldn't like x this type person" like hell. He would totally love you. Im sorry but i hate people who say in x reader type posts to say. They wouldn't like this type of person. No. Thats wrong. And bad x reader writing.

Like at the end of the day,its your writing. Write however you want. Its your city. But for me. Shang tsung don't give a single rats ass what you look like,what your personality is,if your soft n sweet or cunning like him. (Bonus if you both) but at the end of the day he's just happy that he's finally found someone to share life with. However brief if may or may not be. Fr.

You need to be open minded about this type of writing. Dont alienate reader like that.

I have learned its best to write less about what reader is or is like. And more about character in question. And less about "types" and more about what keeps them. And most of them. I hate to break it to you. Especially villains.

Wants some damn loyalty and peace n quiet. Do you how stressful it is to be evil bad guy all the time? Dont you think they deserve a damn break once n a while. Like come home from a long day of scheming "honey im home,i love you. Lets take a bath together" type shit.

Like bruh come on

Like shang tsung just wants to chill and be on his island n have souls to "drink" is that hard to ask for?

And he would absolutely cherish you. Like a dragon coiled around his treasure.

You are precious to him. And if he could,he'd clutch you tighter,hide you in his pocket from the cold dangerous world of kombat.

But alas. He cant.

Because thats not how it works. Even if the odds are in his favor.

A mastermind like him would also needs to be gentle with his beloved,to keep them in his favor or keep them beholden to him anyways. I feel it would be genuine,but also shang tsung is gonna well....shang tsung.

But even when he's being a bastard,he isn't gonna shy away from making sure you're absolutely comfortable and well loved.

You don't need to be just like him to be loved by him. You just need to be genuine.

Anyways. Shang tsung loves you. Ok? Dont you worry your precious heads my fellow shang tsimps,self shippers,and fic writing community.
