I Made This Exactly One Year Ago And I Still Think The Idea For It Is Good

i made this exactly one year ago and i still think the idea for it is good

it can happen to you every moment PSA please dont rotate 2d creatures

@wangxian-fanfic did you mean your heartbeat, across the grass by fakeplasticlily? Also a very good one.

Some other sports ones (I cannot state enough how little of af I give about sports and I ate these up, all vary in length from one shot to long fic, rating from G to E so please take care and read tags etc):

get wild (Basketball AU with D/s) by aroceu

varied my velocities (Ballet Dancer LWJ, Soccer player WWX takes lessons; so so sooo good) by fantasiavii

are you coming backstage after the show? (wlw field hockey player WWX, tennis player LWJ) by asisoitorre

And That's The Game (wlw Volleyball AU) by YunmengLotus

the right words at the right time (wlw martial arts AU) by justpeace

(that last one is cheating because I am a martial artist and it's debatably not a sport, but I love this one so it's fine. I may or may not have my own wlw modern martial arts AU in the drafts.)

Other Modern (Non-Cultivation) AUs that high-key blew my mind:

Live from New York (Saturday Night Live AU) by Varnes

Covered in Bees (Beekeeping LWJ; such a fave) by ScarlettStorm

Where's your emergency? (911 Dispatcher WWX) by trippednfell

always coming home (eco-terrorist LWJ) by detectorist

I just... love fanfic y'all LOL.

Just finished Waiting for Spring by thievinghippo despite actively not giving af about baseball and had that postfic high of the closure and relief that so often comes with Wangxian. I love them so much. I love how well they can be put into so many AU and still be them. Different authors always highlight different themes from MDZS, whether it's A-Yuan, WWX's exile or sense of justice, LWJ's moral growth or clan challenges, all the side characters, family dynamics, betrayals, grief, hope... I eat it all up.

(And whew the quality smut of this fic and the fandom overall is definitely a huge plus.)

Mxtx love interests and their relationships with captivity are fascinating and all, but I’d rather just focus on how funny Hua Cheng’s is in particular.

We have Luo Binghe‘s creepy replica bamboo hut and the tragic horror of watching him succumb to his worst impulses and try destroying the world to trap Shen Qingqiu by his side.

We have Lan Wangji warring internally with himself for years over his smothering need to hide Wei Wuxian from the world and save him from himself.

And then there’s Hua Cheng

Professional Gege Catch and Release Wildlife Expert Hua Cheng.

This man is a gege rehabilitation facilitator who does what he loves and loves what he does.

He tags his gege with a gps tracker so he can study his migration patterns. He humanely traps and relocates his gege whenever he’s strayed into danger.

If you hit a gege with your car, all you need to do is call Hua Cheng and he’ll be there with an animal control slip leash, a GoPro to promote his TikTok campaign promoting awareness of gege welfare and conservation to the masses, and Yin Yu is on the phone preparing the treatment center for a new arrival.

He’s one of those guys who lovingly cares for a feral cat colony in his backyard, providing handmade housing with heating and regular check ups.

He’s insane don’t get me wrong. But his crippling self doubt and unbreakable compulsion to provide merged in such a weird way, it comes off a little more wildlife rescue than I think is intended.

Boku no Hero Academia || Hitoshi Shinsou Episode 144

Another chapter of Teacher's Pet up with a second part I may post later today or tomorrow. Steadily escalating the ShinZawa relationship is giving me life, my sadomasochistic heart is thriving. But now it is starting to make me wonder... It is a multi ship fic and ShinZawa has always been listed as endgame (krbk as well) but the ShinBaku relationship is now pretty developed. Breaking them up is going to be a bummer!

(Alt ending: ShinBakuZawa lol)

(But then that begs for other alts: ShinKiriBaku, ShinKami, ShinBOWL, ShinMonoTetsu... I could go on. ShinJirouMomo. Sigh.)

I've mostly written about Wangxian on this blog, but I thought I should mention that I am all over the place with shipping, fanart, fic, etc. I have a satosugu fic I may never actually write and I recently picked my ShinZawa fic back up. WX hits so many buttons for me, but the fandom that got me back in after years of being off Tumblr, watching anime rapidly again, writing fic and trolling for fanart... is My Hero Academia. I'm a Bakugou stan and I lost my mind over krbk a few years ago. Good times (yes, it was quarantine and we were coping LOL).

Just thought I'd throw that out there in case anyone actually paid attention to my little void space over here, so no one got surprised by the teacher/student content or disparate fandoms that don't really overlap at all. My Twitter is far more NSFW and more active, though I don't write anything there because I've never been able to stay under the character count. 😌
