How are you my sunshine?

Give me a character - Wang Pangzi and Hei Xiazi

HELLO MY BELOVED ☀️☀️☀️ ok I answered Pangzi HERE but I will give the ✨rundown✨ on my beloved weirdo, HXZ

(From this sexy, sexy ask list)

How I feel about this character: I love him. I love him so much. He’s the only thing that kept me watching the horrifically boring mute village arc in TLTR. He can rock a sarong. He has a stupid mullet. Xiao Hua wants to kiss him and so do I. Jack (@psychic-waffles) joked that everyone in DMBJ has had a weird crush on HXZ at least once, and that includes me and HXZ himself.

LOOK AT HIS DUMB FACE:

(Ok also, SORRY, I have too much to say: he’s silly, and he’s ridiculous, and he’s probably always wearing too much cologne, but he’s also immensely practical and skilled, and I really love that duality of his personality. It reminds me a lot of Pangzi, tbh)

People I ship with our favorite glasses wearing bimbo (endearing): ok so as I joked above, I do think everyone has had a Weird crush on him at some point that has made them seriously question things about themselves. But in terms of actual ships, I am Deep in HeiHua hell, and it’s all @humanlighthouse’s fault, with her sexy, sexy fic and her juicy, juicy brain

My non romantic OTPs for This Idiot: oooo ok so right off the bat, I LOVE his relationship with Zhang Qiling (“6 times more protein than beef!”), and I wish we could see that explored more. I think they understand each other in ways others can’t really hope to, and I think they see the humanity and brutality in each other. Also, no one brings out ZQL’s annoyed 😒 more than HXZ and I love that

Mmm I also love his friendship with Wu Xie and Pangzi, and I’m super intrigued by how he and Xiuxiu might engage with each other. Ok AND ALSO Li Cu of course (he puts so much fucking effort into his shitty desert man costume and then Li Cu sees through him in 2 seconds? HXZ is ready to be a dad IMMEDIATELY) and Su Wan, but ALSO the desperado fam!!! I like to imagine that after TLTR HXZ likes to take JiaJia and Bai Haotian out for hot pot on Xiao Hua’s credit card ✨no we are not going to talk about how his heart tugs or his eyes tighten when Jia Kezi finally starts feeling safe and comfortable enough to wear low collars again :)

(ASIDE: I am listening to @s1utspeare’s playlist again and a song just said “in every group of friends there is a whore” and I am YELLING the timing y’all...immaculate)

Unpopular opinions about my favorite dumbass: uhmmmmm honestly not sure...probably that I don’t really connect with the actor portraying him in Sha Hai? Just on first impressions / introductions? (I think he has an uphill battle with me, because I LOVED Baron Chen and Liu Yuning’s versions so much)

One thing I wish had happened: in TLT3, I wish we had seen more interactions with him and XiuXiu! Honestly I wish we had gotten more XiuXiu in general. An underutilized queen.

#hei xiazi #my BELOVED #I really do adore him so much #thank you for asking!!!!! #heihua #xie yuchen #dmbj #jock speaks #mutuals i would kiss on the mouth at social gatherings in my inbox???? #tlt3 #tltr #chongqi #Sha hai #ultimate note #shit so many show names

Hey, question. Do you watch any AvenueX videos? You can learn some really interesting things in those, like how reboot ershu's actor has been in an LGBTQ film. Years ago, admittedly, but like. I'm sure that could fit into ershu's backstory somehow. >.> the film is Lan Yu, if you want to look it up. Apparently it did pretty well internationally at the time.

!!!!! I have never seen them, no! Thank you so much for the recommendation! I will definitely look up both of these videos!! 🥺🥺

Also, yes, I am pretty firmly in the camp that Wu Erbai is queer (whether gay, or bi, or even ace, I leave to individual interpretation). I think it opens up a lot of interesting thoughts about his character, his ruthlessness, and his approach to family:

Adds valence to how much he demands or expects of Wu Xie, in terms of Wu Xie sacrificing his self for the family (after all, hasn’t he? If we see him as someone who is queer, and who has denied that part of himself either consciously or unconsciously in order to serve the Wu family, of course he expects Wu Xie to do the same. To be a Wu is to sacrifice.)

...Though to the point above, that makes it extra interesting that he himself never actually married, doesn’t it? How far does sacrifice go?

Which — would marriage to a woman have made his life easier? Is there an additional component in his interactions with his nephew of needing Wu Xie to carry on the family line, but also perhaps desiring to protect Wu Xie from the rumors and dismissal and loneliness that has dogged Wu Erbai’s life?

All this to say: does Wu Erbai see himself in Wu Xie? Does that please him? Scare him? Both? How does that (especially if we read them both as queer) carry into their interactions as uncle and nephew — interactions that are so deeply and richly painted with love, and care, and control?

Is their a “right” way to be a queer Wu, in Wu Erbai’s mind — and what does he feel (anger, frustration, jealousy?) when Wu Xie denies it?

@canary3d-obsessed made a comment in one of their lovely TLTR outfit posts about Wu Xie’s sweater when he visits Wu Erbai showing that he is “someone else around his family” — for queer folks, this might particularly resonate. But what about the inverse? Is the Wu Erbai who greets Wu Xie the same as the Wu Erbai who runs his empire alone in his office? Is the Wu Erbai who humiliated rivals the same as the Wu Erbai who wears his reading glasses in bed? How and in what way does his queerness filter in? How does he experience his own self? We don’t get to see this, but I wonder how much of the Wu Erbai we know is construction (just as so much of the public Wu Xie is, ESPECIALLY after Sha Hai. The difference is that we see Wu Xie in private, with the veneer stripped away. We don’t see Wu Erbai in this way, because to Wu Xie he is inherently functioning “in public.”)

I feel like you love really deeply once you find someone you care about, and I think that’s really special and amazing ❤️

I love that we always have weird off-time-zone chats and I get to hear about your nice mornings 🌞

One time when I was sad you sent me a picture of your cats and I never forgot it, you made me feel so safe and valued. I think that’s a special talent of yours!

I love how friendly you are!! I feel like every day I see you talking to someone ELSE on here and I’m like wow … jack … how do they do it … he is a king among men …

I love how you go out of your way to give people validation 🥺 yes I am thinking about how you always comment on my fic

SIMILAR TO ABOVE I love how into my silly URSF playlists you are!!!! Every time you message me about them my face goes :D

Your tags and jokes live rent free in my dreams, you are an aspiration for me tbh, you’re such a natural at Humor Content

Ok I feel like 8 was too similar to 1 so here’s an extra: ALSO YOU’RE HOT 🥵

Send me an ask, I’ll tell ya 8 things I love about you!! 🐸

#jack did you know I’m obsessed with you #also jack ur so funny #<- this is the first tag that comes up when I type your name and I stand by it !!!!!!! #jock speaks #mutuals i would kiss on the mouth at social gatherings in my inbox????

[jockvillagersonly]

OH BUT FOX!!!!! AND KHOLRAN!!!! AND STAIDWATERS AND WINDSOFSONG shit I gotta pick a different play we’re running out of room

Why the fuck am i doing this in ur ask box I need to go to bed :/

(FOXISCAPULETKHOLRANISMONTAGUEWINDSOFSONGISLADYC)

Please do more of this in my ask box every day? I love you? Also does this mean @foxofninetales @kholran and @thewindsofsong are our collective parents because I can work with that 👀👀 they all bring me personally so much light, love, validation, and sheer joy on a daily basis so this tracks tbh

Though it might make the number of times I say “step on me mom” a little weird 😭

Other Brigid castings HERE

#WHAT ABOUT STAIDWATERS WHO ARE THEY #Brigid casts DmutualsBJ #and we love to see it #jock speaks #mutuals i would kiss on the mouth at social gatherings in my inbox????

[jockvillagersonly]

U didn’t even ask for this but I’m assigning u Mercutio as ur Shakespeare-sona for these reasons:

1) funny as fuck

2) would fight an army for his dumbass best friend (ok so in this version of the play I’m Romeo and Cross is Benvolio and ur Mercutio so like trios bitch. Also Anna gets to be the Prince and ur gf is the beautiful and badass Capulet cousin that isn’t Tybalt that u run away with after elaborately faking ur own death. Also in this version no one dies and we all get to go vacation in New Zealand after we solve all the problems the end)

3) I love him

Sorry I thought about this earlier tonight and then didn’t stop so I had to let u know

This is the most important ask I’ve ever received. I read it aloud to @lesbianspacedad and cried a little. She laughed at me but it was so worth it holy fuck Brigid baby I would die for you also @cross-d-a cry with me

#MERCUTIO!!!!!! #mutuals i would kiss on the mouth at social gatherings in my inbox???? #Brigid my beloved #jock speaks #LOOK AT US I AM LITERALLY FUCKING SCREAMING #Brigid casts DmutualsBJ

I felt I should send my Imperial Coroner polycule chart for anyone else who might like to see it...

AND YOU WERE RIGHT!!!!!

Could you …. Could you also post the Legend of Fei one 🥺 I love that one 🥺

#polyam #it’s my beloved A! making maps!!!!! #I love that you always do this it makes me so happy!!!!! #mutuals i would kiss on the mouth at social gatherings in my inbox???? #tic #the imperial coroner #imperial polycule

[jockvillagersonly]

for that ask game: 🌍 (bc i would love to talk about some aus. as if we don't do that already but. aus. yes.) also i hope you are doing fine! love you ♥

OHHH vish my beloved!! In my ask box!!

(Also I’m...I will be ok! Luckily I don’t have to teach today, so I’m outside, listening to birds and trying to self soothe with asks on tumblr dot com ❤️ sweet of you to say!!)

Ok BUT to the question — ooooohhhhhh ok so I have not written many AUs? But I am having a LOT of fun writing the Star Trek one!!! I think I tend to lean towards sci-fi or realist AUs (detective AUs @epicwalrus! Reporter AUs! Stripper AUs @humanlighthouse!) over fantasy in my own writing, THOUGH I really enjoy reading fantasy AUs!!!

3:

Whenever people send me pictures of their pets. Yes I’m thinking of @xia-xueyi’s turtle and @psychic-waffles’s dog / cats and @gaiahenshin’s plethora of cats and @humanlighthouse’s neighbor’s cat. Just Know I love it and sometimes I save the pictures or make memes out of them. It’s great

This silly little Xiaoge drink topper @cross-d-a sent me like, the first few weeks we knew each other. I drink so much more water than I ever used to

5:

The mutual I actually get to kiss on the mouth (@lesbianspacedad) and our two cats, both of whom are idiots. Please ignore stinky’s dandruff, he is a sensitive young man and did not enjoy the fancy food we bought him 😮‍💨 he is back to being a sleek furred chonk machine 🌸🐸

Posted WIPs

Star Trek AU / Out Here is Wondrous - I’ve finished the second chapter, actually! I’m waiting to post it until I write the whole thing, though, so folks don’t have to wait ages again

URSF - @humanlighthouse and I have this fully planned, and I have done about 2/3 of the 2nd chapter draft at this point! Another one I won’t post until it’s done ✨😚

Current Drafts

What’s Given Can Be Taken - sex pollen AU, from an anon kink prompt! ~2/3 done

A Little Care (Like Holding Together Two Bits of Cracked China) - iron threesome w/Bonus tomb shenanigans, though I may break it into two fics. Smut is outlined and tomb stuff mostly written!

Li Cu Parent Conference Fic - haven’t worked on this in ages tbh, but I have a couple pages written 😭

To Choose an Altar - one of the prompted mini fics from that prompt list! This one is one of @s1utspeare’s 😚

Planned Collabs + Status

PingXie stripper AU, with @humanlighthouse and bonus comments from @mejomonster — status: brainstormed / outlined, no drafting yet

PingXie ABO AU, with @humanlighthouse — status: some plot ideas outlined

Iron Triangle Buzzfeed Unsolved AU, with @s1utspeare — status: brainstormed / outlined, no drafting yet

Detective Wu Xie / Mob Boss ZQL AU, with @epicwalrus — status: epic has done an INSANE amount of drafting and world building on this! I’m just vibing rn, but y’all are in for a treat for sure ✨

Ideas I Plan To Write, No, Really 😢

2 additional kink prompts

A Li Cu centric fic from a very old anon who has probably been wondering why I never replied ;)

Additional mini fic prompts

And then I think I’ve talked about most of these before? Tintin AU, Advance Bravely AU, and begrudgingly-able-to-see-the-paranormal, keeps-trying-to-lie-about-it mystery solving WX 🥰

Oh! Also I joked with @psychic-waffles about writing a HeiHua fic around that spite gardening post 😂

🐸👌from this most excellent ask list🐸👌

well I'm late but 20 for the handwriting meme 👀

Akwneksodxg no such thing!! Thank you for coming to the Sierra Scrawls Express!

Also you literally chose SUCH a whammy fuck how am I supposed to narrow this down 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I ended up choosing a line from Late Night by Foals, in part because it’s always stayed in my mind since it’s the line @lesbianspacedad referenced when she was like, “I can’t believe you don’t listen to lyrics!! Look how good this shit is!!” And I was like damn babe…u right

Can’t believe Yannis created the sad cowboy emoji…amazing

Send me an ask, get illegible scribbles in return! ❤️

Darling I love you. Please do not do affirmations for me because I will irredeemably combust, but I hope you are recovering from the school bustle and drinking water and ACTUALLY SLEEPING SOMETIMES and taking breaks and hugging kitties.

Also this is for you 😘

NOPEY!!!!!!!

But if I love you … and you love me … why aren’t we platonically making out at a social gathering yet 🥺

Also: sir

Sir what the FUCK the ,,, the suit. The COLOR. The FRILL AROUND THE COLLAR. The rose. The HAIR? This sure is a gender and I sure am obsessed with it

(I am respecting your wishes to not swamp you with my love and affection for you but please know I love you so much and you’re so kind and so funny and one of my favorite people on this hell site)

#also I am occasionally sleeping but I am DEFINITELY drinking water!!! #no more fainting for this bitch we be hydrated out here #DAMN also ZME continues to Gender #every day I suffer because of Zhang Ming’en …. #love you nopey 🥺 #if you change your mind and want affirmations just lemme know!!!!!!!!!!!! #jock speaks #mutuals i would kiss on the mouth at social gatherings in my inbox????

Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

Omg !!!!!! AN ASK!! Thank you 🥺 from this ask list

I’m not often super proud of my writing (I’m working on having better self esteem about it!!) but I think I’ll pick something from Out Here is Wondrous — it’s the first AU I have ever tackled, and the first time I really explored Li Cu’s POV. I did a lot of Star Trek research and reworking to get the tone and energy I wanted for him and Wu Xie, and I ended up really happy with the result!

I think since I wrote this chapter, I’ve gotten a lot better at description and dialogue. But this silly paragraph will always have a special place in my heart:

God, Li Cu wants to kick the other man’s ass. Or maybe his own ass, for getting caught up in this situation. Maybe he’ll kick Wu Xie’s ass, then throw himself out of a nearby airlock. Li Cu nods, decisively, in his mind. That should do it.

#thank you for asking !!!!!!!! #I’m working on being ... nicer to myself about my writing !! so this was a good exercise to think about #dmbj #wu xie #li Cu #my fic #jock speaks #mutuals i would kiss on the mouth at social gatherings in my inbox???? #I also just ... love li Cu so much

AKASNSOSOC BRIGI stop lying in public, my handwriting is scrawl and you know it

Send me an ask, get illegible scrawl in return! ❤️

WAIT I CAME UP WITH MORE Vishie is Juliet bc she is pretty (i just know this I have not seen pictures but I know) and Xzciel is Friar Lawrence and Meri is the nurse and uhhhh hhhmnnn I need a Tybalt and a Paris (in this version we’re all very nice I’m casting it based on vibes/who I want to see brawl in the marketplace) OH OK Joy is Paris cause she’s sweet and unassuming (I’m a fan of Paris actually) and Nope4Ever can be Tybalt bc I think u two would have the best sword fight anyway ok I’m done now maybe

Have I mentioned that I adore you dearly !!!!!! Holy FUCK please keep these coming. Putting edits under the cut because it’s gonna be LONG

1. I have seen pictures you are right @vishcount is fucking stunning. Also, I too would commit to a suicide pact for her. Though she’d probably rather I just made her cookies or something

2. @xcziel AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR THE GOOD HEARTED FRIAR!!! INSPIRED. Also I just feel like this picture from Romeo + Juliet encapsulates her chaotic and yet deeply loving nature. Also it’s kind of terrifying. And I love that for her.

3. @merinnan is ABSOLUTELY the nurse!! The wisdom! The guidance! The heart and soul of the play! Also, the light of my life!

4. Love that you casted me as someone with very marketplace brawling energy, I love this for me and you

5. @bookjoyworm sweet 🥺 kind 🥺 a lovely Paris 🥺 the wholesome Paul Rudd energy. This is not a picture of Paul Rudd because in Romeo + Juliet he just looks like Some Dude

6. It’s because @nope4ever and I both make memes isn’t it. God what an honor to be compared to the number #1 DMEMEBJ queen 😭🥺 cross swords with me anytime. Aka the inherent homoeroticism of crossing swords in the marketplace

Other Brigid Castings HERE 🥺 she sent me ANOTHER ASK but I gotta go get the laundry so give me a sec to edit it up

HOHOHO HELLO SASS DID YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE GIVING AFFIRMATIONS? NO?

TOO BAD HERE WE GO

I love how you 100% dive into character discussions and headcanons and ideas! I always love seeing your chats with other writers on my dash

I love your fic! It’s so good! Idk if I’ve ever mentioned this but I actually read a bunch of your SCI fic before I got an AO3 account and stopped lurking 😂

I love your energy!!! Immaculate joy 10/10

I love when you tag things “jock don’t call me out like this” it always makes me chuckle and I’m also always very surprised you know who I am

I ADORE your killer & healer headcanons, especially for Opera Man and Bad Haircut Man (I’ve only seen 3 episodes of the show I’m sorry 😭😭)

I love that you respond to every ask with a minimum of 2 gifs, if not 3-4. Where do you even find them all!! Idk but I love it!!

I love that whenever you do tag games you tag like, half of tumblr because you know so many people across so many fandoms!! I think it’s neat!!

I love how organized you are about your fic and your WIPS????? Honestly inspo tbh

Bonus: I think your icon is very cute 🥺

send me an ask for 8 things I love about you 🐸
