wishlist — Dynamics I'd like to write [Jing Yuan ed.]
hey ho! Welcome to the first of probably a series of these dynamics posts. As it says in the title, I'm gonna be going over some dynamics I like and briefly touch on why I like them. I do plan on writing at least one for each of my main muses, and I hope that this can help make it easier to reach out to establish dynamics, or to generate ideas for muses I haven't listed here or different perspectives on the ones I've shared.
Of course, OCs and AUs are always welcome! But since those are more specific to each respective mun, I can't list them here. :') (that being said, please approach me!!)
Yingxing/Blade:
I adore all flavors of jingren/jingxing (or however you wanna call it). In the HCQ era, requited. Unrequited. Mutual pining. Madly in love. A platonic rivalry, brothers in arms. I want Jing Yuan still loving Blade, I want Jing Yuan absolutely furious with Blade, I love the awkward mournful tender angle as well as the embittered enemies one. Though I am partial to a romantic angle, I absolutely THRIVE with that love being lost on one or both sides, or with a purely platonic angle, too! No matter what, it's complicated. The messier the better. Between Blade and Jing Yuan, any genuine and mutual romance between them will be difficult for me to write without extensive development in character, because as it stands in canon Blade just wants to cease to exist, and my Jing Yuan just wants nothing more than to put Yingxing's memory to rest for good. They are a tragedy to me of the HIGHEST caliber (not that fluffier dynamics can't happen! They'll just need a LOT of development esp because I struggle with the idea of Blade finding a reason to "live" again).
Dan Feng/Dan Heng:
I adore all flavors of jingfeng/jingheng too, just like with jingren/jingxing! Requited, unrequited, platonic, etc etc. All flavors are good. When it comes to Dan Heng specifically, I especially love that delicate time after their reunion in which they learn to navigate their relationship and what they mean to one another. Whether this is platonic, familial ( @etherealguard <3) , or romantic, I enjoy it a lot. I do think Jing Yuan is more resistant to romantic feelings towards Dan Heng in this time period, as he doesn't want to conflate any residual love he has for Dan Feng with his desire to reconnect with Dan Heng and reassure Dan Heng of his good will. Regardless, it's a messy and complicated relationship at first for sure.
Luocha:
The messier the be--
Can you tell I like complicated relationships ALFDSGHKJ. When it comes to Jing Yuan's dynamic with Luocha, I find their game of chess to be the most fascinating thing. Enemies to lovers is PEAK I've talked and written about them enough ALFSJH YALL HAVE SEEN WHAT I'VE WRITTEN WITH STARRY!!! I will never get tired of jingluo but I like it the most when it is full of trials and tribulations for poor Jing Yuan. A game of cat and mouse. Barely veiled threats while waltzing. Do you get the vibe they are DANGEROUS
Caelus/Stelle:
When it comes to the Trailblazer, what I find the most fascinating to explore is the comparison of power between them and Jing Yuan. I think there's a lot of potential to be had with respect to that, with Stellaron (or Aeon reincarnation in some interps 👀) vs Emanator, whether the Trailblazer can sense that Jing Yuan is far, far more than he makes himself out to be and vice versa! That sense of there being something more under the surface and knowing it is so fun to me. I do prefer a more platonic dynamic for them just due to Jing Yuan being so dad-coded, but nothing is off the table with sufficient development!
Welt:
Two old men! Similarly to the Trailblazer, I love the idea of a dance of knowing that each is far more powerful than they're letting on. Though I imagine that Welt is polite enough to not try to pry, to me his power is nothing short of intriguing to Jing Yuan, who would absolutely try to find out more about him. Platonic or romantic, I think there's a lot of good potential between them.
Himeko:
I blame Koi. Himeko and Jing Yuan are far more similar than I initially thought, they're two sides of the same coin, and I think there's a wonderful amount of potential here between the two of them as beings far more powerful than they are willing to let on, and as two people of genius intellect. To me, they have the potential for a very strong platonic bond, or potentially even a romantic one (it says a lot to me that the first woman that my Jing Yuan has ever had the potential to have romantic feelings for is Himeko ADLKSFHJ) depending on how things develop. Overall, I would LOVE to explore the Jing Yuan and Himeko dynamic more (winks at Koi)
Yukong:
Yukong and Jing Yuan have a lot of similarities to me! A lot of shared, very deep grief that has irrevocably changed the both of them. Even if they don't talk about it, I think this is something that they can mutually acknowledge, and that acknowledgement is something they can find solace in with each other. I've mentioned it in a prior wishlist post but I crave a profound, platonic intimacy between Yukong and Jing Yuan. He loves her, truly and deeply, and he knows her life is coming to an end soon.
Fu Xuan:
I don't have a Fu Xuan to develop with! That needs to change!!! Fu Xuan havers pspspspspss???? The dynamic between Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan is crucial and holds so much potential. While I do prefer them as platonic, jingfu fans I get it I really do the flavor is so good. Regardless of the nature of the relationship, though, there's no doubt that it is fundamentally based on a very deep sense of trust, even with the banter and bickering. It's clear that they very much care about each other regardless of everything.
Yanqing:
Give me all the Yanqings I don't even need to say anything here. Sweet Yanqings, spicy kitten Yanqings, doesn't matter, that is his SON and I will always love writing a dynamic with any son boi. Aside from Mimi, taking in Yanqing and raising him was one of the like. only things Jing Yuan actually did for himself? My Jing Yuan always,, wanted a family. And he never got that chance, not until he found Yanqing. He loves Yanqing with everything he has to offer.
Kafka:
I blame A. The tension, the danger, the wariness yet willingness to collaborate all the same!! Ough. Ough. They're just such a fascinating dynamic, especially in a mara-struck!Jing Yuan context. I'd love to do things outside of that AU as well, though!!
Lan:
I've talked extensively about Jing Yuan's fealty towards Lan and his complicated feelings on the Hunt before. It's something I'd love to develop more. The relationship between an Aeon and their Emanator has a lot of potential for very deep complexity and it's with no uncertainty that I say that Jing Yuan is intrinsically tied to the Hunt for a plethora of reasons. Navigating that power dynamic, the relationship between god and vessel, all of that is very very spicy to me.
Yaoshi:
Talked a lot about this too! I want to write Jing Yuan's acknowledgement of his intrinsic ties to Yaoshi, I want to write his defiance of Yaoshi all the same, I want the tension and the hostility I WANT IT ALL!!!! READ MY AEON ANALYSIS FOR JING YUAN FOR FURTHER DETAILS I JUST WANNA WRITE MESSY DANGEROUS GOD-MORTAL DYNAMICS (potential for Nous and Nanook too gimme gimme)

//Wishlist Shipping Edition From The Perspective Of Someone That Drank To Much Caffeine Before Bed And Their Favorite Word Starts With F and end in K™ (feel free to reblog if anyone wants to):
A. Running From Love
Person A is a fuckboy/fuckgirl and is only comfortable with friends with benefits or whatever and slowly falls for another person and it is reciprocated. Person A tries to run like hell away from love because emotional intimacy is not what they signed up for, meanwhile Person B is like 'oh fuck no, get your fucking ass back here and fucking love me and let me love you motherfucker'. Will it work out in the end? Maybe, maybe not but it's a wild ass ride.
B. Bad Romance, Cowards!
It is dark, toxic and just fucking not healthy. Maybe mutually abusive, both are manipulating each other or mutually self destructive but you fucking know what, they think that is fucking hot. The toxicity isn't one sided, both stand on equal grounds and if they blow up they do it together. They are like a fire burning to hot, to fast and if they self destruct they do it together and they want it that way. Is it sad? Of course, but these are terrible people spending time probably destroying other people's lives and they aren't good enough for anyone else. SO LET THEM BE FUCKING HAPPY INSTEAD OF RUINING EVERYONE ELSE'S LIVES FOR A LITTLE WHILE DAMMIT.
C. Good girl/boy/person x Bad girl/boy/person!
Tried and true. Does the good one save the other from damnation? Does the hell raiser drag the saint to hell? Do they find a happy medium? Does the mistakes of the past and bad habits keep them apart, take one of the away to soon? Does the hellion not want saving and it just becomes to much? Do they have a happy ending? Is it a tragic romance? That all depends on them and how hard they want to fight for a happy ending together.
D. They had potential to be something romantic but there was always something keeping them apart and now that is gone so what happens now?
What was keeping them apart? Obliviousness? Not believing the feeling was requited? Fear of ruining a good thing? Secrets? Right person, wrong time? Insert other legitimate reason here because it is late and I should have been in bed a while ago but caffeinated squirrel brain is fucking screeching.
Equally important now that thing keeping them apart is gone, what do they do now? Do they finally get together? Has that ship truly sailed? Does it turn out that maybe it was just not meant to be? Who the fuck knows but let's find out.
E. Unrequited Love But The Person Who's Feelings Aren't Requited Isn't A Fucking Little Bitch About It
THE PAIN, THE DRAMA, THE RESPECTFULLY WATCHING THAT RECIEPENT MEET THE PERSON OF THEIR DREAMS AND STILL BE A HAPPY SUPPORTIVE FRIEND BECAUSE GUESS WHAT? JUST BECAUSE ROMANTIC LOVE ISN'T RECEPRICATED DOESN'T GIVE ANYONE ANY EXCUSE TO BE A FUCKING DOUCHEBAG. IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE YOU CAN BE A NOT-PRICK ABOUT IT.
-Respectfully and Adoringly,
The Gremlin that Runs This Blog.

Caelus sometimes has nightmares. Given his memory loss they can't be about his past, or rather they're more focused on the recent past. They're all warped moments from when he awoke on Herta Station and onward.
The content varies, but two moments stick out as the most frequent occurrences, one worse than the other; his near-deaths.
The piercing cold of ice filling his chest as Cocolia's lance stabs through him and he falls, blood freezing, awareness fading, falling and falling into the darkness, into pain and cold and nothingness, and Qlipoth doesn't show. This time there is nothing to save him from his own Eternal Freeze, consuming him from the inside as he falls into the void.
Waking from this nightmare is usually abated by hands on his chest; confirmation that he is okay and to feel the warmth of the Stellaron. Warmth drives away the lingering vestiges of ice. Depending on the time and his mental state he may seek out PomPom for a cup of hot chocolate or tea or something.
The other nightmare is both the opposite, and slightly worse; the aftermath of the Doomsday Beast.
Taking the hit for March, energy blast triggering his Stellaron, and oh it burns. His chest is scorching as he tries to hold it in, endure the pain of the flames, keep the star inside him from exploding, and he fails. It bursts and it feels like his insides are turning to ash, the supernova in his heart consuming him, and Welt isn't there. This time there is no spark of outside power, no shove from a gravity cane, no external force to quell the Stellaron as it rapidly burns away its vessel.
Waking from this nightmare is less easily solved, and the first occurrence led to the first instance of Caelus knocking on Welt's door in the middle of the night like a frightened child seeking comfort from a parent. He needed to know the man who saved him was still there. Was real. He tries not to bother Welt when it happens again, instead resorting to turning on some quiet music over the phonograph and leaning against the windows of the parlor car; the chill of space seeps into the glass and the cold pressed against his torso is a stark contrast to the nightmare's heat.

New wishlist items —
I now have an intense and burning need to do something in K.aeya’s prince of K.haenri’ah verse where it’s post-game and he has to actually Do The Thing and come to terms with his responsibilities but like, this only works with someone he’s extremely close to (childhood friend gang, D.iluc, R.osaria) otherwise he’d just disappear.
I’m still begging for a Di.luc to write with consistently so the brothers can hash everything out. K.aeluc is not welcome here however, so please don’t approach me about it.
Still want an arraigned marriage AU pls
