#but yeah I have an allyao agenda

Other than nieyao, what are your favorite ships for JGY and NMJ?

Oh my dear anon, where should I even start!

This fandom has made me a multishipper since there are so many fascinating dynamics going on between the characters, and they are all so wonderfully and painfully interconnected. There are many ships I enjoy for these two, but I'll go with the favorites you asked for or we'll be here all day lol

I'm a huge 3zun lover, so for NMJ, my other favorite ship would be nielan.

Now, for JGY is a bit trickier since this little guy is my bicycle and I ship him hard with most of the cast or something XD. I'm very, VERY into xiyao as well... but I have to go with ruoyao here: it's spicier and risque, with room for a wide range of scenarios (also Meng "daddy issues" Yao much lol), and I'm just the kind of person to be biased towards the underdog in any situation and it's obvious which one is the much smaller ship here :')))))

Allyao, you say? 👀

What about Ningyao. WN didn't seem too disturbed by his time in Jinlintai so like, I like to think JGy took mercy on him. Maybe they were friends during sunshot. Maybe WN helped JGY out in Qishang. Maybe JGY apologised for what JGS did and had him do to WN. Maybe he was sad that WN wasn't fully cognizant with the nails, because that'one less friendly person to talk to :(

I must give it to you, your brain is bigger than mine bc I didn't really consider that one before. But that's mostly bc the way my allyao agenda works is that it would take significant interactions MY had with others that he has stablished dynamics with, and run with it (is it really my fault he's connected to so many ppl in this story??). Ningyao may be leaning on crackship territory, but let's see!

It's an interest approach, yeah. I think there's not a lot to be done during the time WN was being held by the Jin, we are never told what happened, but regardless, poor guy was rendered pretty much a mindless beast around that time...

But then again, I don't think timeline would have made it possible for them to interact much before the end of the war either.

Iirc MY went to join the Wen after the fall of Lotus Pier, and by then WQ and her fam had been appointed to the supervisory thingie something, meaning they probably didn't have much contact with Nightless City.

Still, we have little detail of how the war was actually going, especially after JC regained control of Yunmeng. So it could be possible that that made the Wens there retreat back to Qishan??

In any case, it'd be fascinating to see MY interact with perhaps the gentlest Wen. I'd imagine that that fact alone would be a breath of fresh air when you are appointed as chief torturer, especially as the war was approaching its peak and the end was near.

There's still the fact that JGY knew of the prisoners camp, where he must have known WN was. He had just been acknowledged by his father, so he probably considered not smart to risk getting thrown out so soon idk.

Regardless, always entertaining to have food for thought :D
