I think modern au Zhu SHOULD be the lesbian best friend trope to Ouyang except that its because this man is her pet project and gODDDAMIT she's gonna FIX him she's gonna MAKE him be BETTER she's going to SOLVE EVERYTHING and he will RESPECT HER (she is actively making him worse). She has a whole complex about it and everything. She has based a part of her identity on dragging this man up from his toxic funk and is fully convinced that if she tries hard enough he will eventually come to his senses and be an equal participant in this relationship. They have a terrible wonderful toxic loving codependent relationship that's neither a romance nor a friendship nor a rivalry but a secret fourth thing.
Predictably, this does not go well. The character arcs would be Zhu learning she can't fix a sinking ship and letting Ouyang fail by himself, and Ouyang learning to not be a shit person, actually, and coming out of his bubble of self-centeredness and working on himself instead of unloading his emotional labor onto the people around him. And they should both get to develop a healthier relationship with each other than what they had in canon bc queer solidarity is great and its even better when it's in the shape of some weird bullshit some gay people built out of the corpse parts of heteronormative romance (affectionate and completely unironic)

I just have issues with like... idk, people coming for people who like Billy or like his character or even relate to him at all. Because like, yes he was an asshole, but believe it or not, he was a kid who was abused by his father, abandoned by his mother, the person meant to protect him, and his step mother was too scared to protect him too. And that's a REALITY for some people out there. That is something people have to face everyday. And finding comfort in a character who embodies the possible consequences of that upbringing, or finding some sort of similarity with them (maybe in his anger and violence, or his stunted and confused emotions) and having people tell you you're a piece of shit for liking said character, etc. is so dehumanizing and so upsetting especially if they've faced similar life experiences. You wouldn't go to an abuse victim and just say that shit, all I'm saying is that there are deeper reasons for people to like Billy's character then just "hot man haha brrr", like having a similar home life and similar struggles with anger and emotions due to it and yall really out here just making people feel like shit without thinking that there is maybe a deeper reason for it or maybe they have been dealt a similar deck of cards in life.

🩹!!!
Band-aid 🩹 - If there was one thing about your f/o that you'd want people to understand, what would it be?
oh i dont know. i feel like at this point nobody talks abt him enough for me to have a hot take. or at least i dont have to see it because i have #blocked everyone in the world. it does drive me up the wall though when people make him out to be like secretly super insecure or whatever. ive seen him and the way he behaves that thing has not felt shame a day in his life. and i feel like thats kind of important? to his character? because otherwise u get people being like ohhh he wears the mask because hes ashamed of his ugly face and its like well. i dont think thats it. like basically the only canonical POV stuff we have of him points (imo) towards an identity thing rather than any sort of appearance thing. and i think its cuter and more interesting that way. you guys dont like it when theres a furry?

What about Riven and Saladin hcs? Mixed with Riven and Helia roommates and friends hcs?
OH INTERESTING
i'm obsessed with your brain actually <3
I think Saladin would be really proud of Riven's progress and ultimately have seen his potential a lot more than other people around him!
Similar to Flora, Saladin would also just appreciate the fact that the specialists clearly make Helia happy, even if they are annoying kids sometimes
Actually obsessed with the idea of Riven and Helia being roommates !! I've already shared this headcanon but I like the idea of both of them having issues sleeping but for different reasons. And it's that trope of they can never get to sleep but when they start to room together they can sleep and it's like :o
Also obsessed with the idea that Helia could join literally any team at the school and he immediately chooses the most problematic and annoying team there. Helia: yeah that one please :) Saladin: .....
AND THEN he also becomes besties with them. like saladin is gonna have to deal with these guys forever now... how could his own grandson do this to him
adjghlajdgh but saladin is actually super supportive of riven!! like he literally just let him off the hook after getting with the witches who destroyed the entire school 😭 i mean he redeemed himself yes, but also saladin my guy there's gotta be rules about that akjdghajldgh
the only time the specialists ever really get into trouble is when they start physically fighting each other which in my mind means saladin basically went "boys being boys <3" and left it at that for two whole years before he actually thought hm. maybe that's not okay.
literally i think about saladin's reaction to helia wanting to join That team every day... some prince and his bodyguard who prince and the paupered the whole school... some guy with trauma who almost helped the evil witches and then got thrown into witch jail... some nerd who's getting ignored by everyone..... all of them constantly arguing and ruining school events because they can't stop fighting.... and his grandson who ran off to art school and hates guys like that befriends them and wants to join their team.... and then the angry guy unintentionally sabotages a mission leading to a universe no magic panic and basically gets him (purposely) expelled... and helia's just okay with that. like WHAT went through saladin's head i need to know
riven: does saladin hate us. helia: wouldn't you like to know 😊
saladin: do the boys think i'm too uptight or mean. helia: idk do they 🤨
riven: you're kind of annoying. helia: i'm telling saladin to give you dragon poop duties
on a somewhat serious note, i think the specialists would feel a lot of pressure to make sure helia stays alive so saladin doesn't kill them himself. like he definitely wouldn't be mad at them but i think their overall fear of people would make them think he would get really mad at them. on a goofy note, that means they never let him do stupid dangerous things :(
helia: please let me jump off the ship to catch the bad guy it's gonna be so rad. riven: NO
