Aris When He Was Escaping The Maze With Group B -

I agree with this especially the shen jiu one. Don't get me wrong what shen jiu went through is horrifying! (And sometimes I feel like the fandom really doesn't take the stuff he went through srsly but that's a story for another day) but we have to remember that traumatic past DOES NOT EQUAL a justification to abuse!! Like what binghe went through was traumatising I feel like people forget that the tea incident was not the worst thing shen jiu put him through, by the time shen Yuan had transmigrated this child had been whipped, forced to kneel infront of the gates for who knows how long, bullied physically and verbally by this peers, Shen Jius past is an explanation to his behaviour. Not an excuse. I repeat.

(Actually I feel like this isn't just a svsss fan issue but a mxtx one in general Jc fans also have this mentality of "Oh he had a sad backstory! That's why he did all that he did!")

can we get 7, scum villain for the ask game pretty please?

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

I can't lie, Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu.

Now before you crucify me and say "oh but you like LQG and he's an ass" HEAR ME OUT🤚

I feel like the "everyone loves shen yuan he can do no wrong" is a little annoying and SOME of the fanfics I've read or the art I've seen have just reduced him to a damsel in distress or babyified him and I am mad because his canon self is so funny (exhibit A, how he acts in the donghua)

also he's kinda annoying in those fics too and mfs tend to over feminized him when that is a fully able bodied grown man with a job (several of my blood vessels explode violently when someone calls shen jiu mamajiu cause brother eughhh)

as for Shen Jiu, I just think the glaze for him is insane and I cannot get over the fact that this guy is a voluntary abuser to basically an innocent child and his fans (SOME FANS BTW SOME FANS THE NORMAL ONES R FINE) are like "he did no wrong!" "He's just a diva!" "that's just a skill issue on lbh's part" just cause his backstory is tragic, some even outright excusing it cause he technically suffered more like erm💀 (i also know this is old discourse within the community but this is my opinion, you asked so you will hear what I say)

The thing is about these characterizations with the Shens is was that it funny at first but now I find it so annoying and SJ's characterization into some tsundere bottom made me cry real manly tears

My main point: I liked SQQ first, he was my fave when I was first dabbling into the fandom, but then I made the mistake of picking up fanfiction and now either feel indifferent to them or outright annoyed when they show up AND IT'S SO SAD BECAUSE THEY'RE GENUINELY SUPER INTRESTING CHARACTERS UGH

and if i say that wei wuxian and jiang cheng were always destined to end up the way they did then what.

even though i like jiang cheng as a character, i´m okay with him not being in wei wuxian´s life. wei wuxian deserves the happy, peaceful life he has with lan wangji without constantly being on the receiving end of jiang cheng´s negative emotions.

Save me lesbian bingqiu

Things I’ve noticed are essential in plotting and would probably have saved me a lot of time if I had considered it earlier

The START of your story - how fucked up flawed is your premise/character at the start? what do they have to change? why are they HERE?

The END of your story - How do you want your main character/theme/universe to change after your story? Does it get better or worse? THIS SETS UP THE TONE DRASTICALLY.

What you want to happen IN BETWEEN - the MEAT of it. What made you start writing this WIP in the first place. Don't be ashamed to indulge, it's where the BRAIN JUICE comes from. You want a deep dive into worldbuilding and complex systems? Then your start and end should be rooted in some fundamental, unique rule of your universe (what made you obsess over it?). Want to write unabashed ship content? Make sure your start and end are so compelling you'll never run out of smut scenarios to shove in between scenes (what relationship dynamics made you ship it in the first place?).

The ANTE - the GRAVITY of your story. How high are the stakes? Writing a blurb or interaction? start with a small day-in-the-life so you can focus on shorter timelines and hourly minutiae that can easily get overlooked in more complicated epics. Or you can go ham on it and plot out your whole universe's timeline from conception to demise. Remember: the larger the scale, the less attached your story may get. How quickly time flies in your story typically correlates with the ante (not a hard rule, ofc, but most epics span years of time within a few pages, while a romance novel usually charts out the events of a few months over a whole manuscript.)

Everything else follows….?

THANK UUU

You guys have any good newtmas fics to reccomand? (Preferably not modern!aus)

I see a lot of mdzs pop star aus going around, and they're all equally amazing but, they always (Again. Understandably) revolve around either wangxian and Co.

But yk what my ideal "popstar" mdzs au would be? Wq, Jyl and mianmian in a band, The trouple (tots not biased)

-Basically Jyl would be in the band because she genuinely has an interest in music (also because her parents did not... love her choice of becoming a music major, so she needs to get money somehow)

-I'd imagine she'd be the lead singer, cause why not?

-Wq wouldn't really be in it for interest, she actually wants to become a doctor though med school is expensive as hell and ever since granny Wen had retired she's been working 10 jobs at the same time. Someone save my girl.

-She'd play the guitar

-MianMian is just some guy who's in the band cause she's close friends with jyl, and she's also a music major.

-I'd imagine she'd have beef with her past employer tho (The Jins) and its comical.

-shes the drumiest.

Im not blaming jiang cheng😭 but considering the whole thing and him knowing how much she loves wwx I feel like his overprotectiveness would kick in if yk what I mean!

I'm not sure if it was ever brought up in any of the mdzs iterations (it's been a while since I've read/watched mdzs) but how the hell did yanli even enter the battle field?

Like you're telling me no one thought to atleast send gaurds to protect this women who oh so recently gave birth recently WIDOWED literally talk of the town KNOWN for loving her family?

Like jiang cheng atleast should've thought about having someone look after her?

I read a fic a while back where plagg&Tikki swapped species with their holders during an akuma attack and the concept has literally not left my mind yet lol. So here are some fastly drawn doodles 🚪
