post your top 5 OTPs and tag people

thanks for tagging me @vishcount 💖 

choosing my otps for this was fun but so incredibly difficult because i have countless pairings that i love? i tried to think about the ones that gave me the most Feels this past year. there were many that didn’t make it on this list but i think i feel quite content with the ones i chose? all of them impacted me a lot.

Zhou Zishu/Wen Kexing - Word of Honor/ Faraway Wanderers

If you’ve been following me the past few months you know. Something about their gentleness wrapped in raw emotions pains me so much. Am trying to keep it short, but if I had to pinpoint what I love about these two is how they’ve fallen into each other so deeply, starting from light attraction to deep understanding and love. Idk mate, maybe it’s also the concept of two fucked up and flawed characters finding comfort and someone equal in each other. I’m currently reading the web novel and here too, I’m just aching over them. 

Matteo Florenzi/ David Schreibner - DRUCK

I watched the third seaon of DRUCK a few months ago and it was one of those shows that made me cry the most recently. I adored how DRUCK managed to capture the realness that SKAM had before, the authentic and deeply personal stories of people that feel so incredibly close to me. I loved how despite everything being complicated and chaotic, in the end, they simply loved each other so much. Despite the struggles they both faced, they managed to find back to each other and not give up? Both David’s and Matteo’s stories hit very close to home. I also want to applaud DRUCK for making references and parallels to season 3 of SKAM but still making it completely different and unique in its own way.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji - The Untamed

The amount of times I’ve talked about Wangxian in these tag games is just growing so I don’t know what else to say? They’ve made a home in a my heart and that’s where they live now, I don’t make the rules.

Fatou Jallow/ Vu Kieu My - DRUCK

Yes, DRUCK made it on here two times and honestly, it’s what it deserves. Fatou’s season was the first season of DRUCK I watched and it accompanied me during winter so I feel incredibly fond of them. I could relate to them both so much and I especially adored how yes, their relationship was the center of the season, but it was actually not the main conflict or theme? I loved how they could explore themselves through each other, and also how they managed to return to each other once they were ready. I know this is basically every SKAM(remake) pairing ever but god, that is some good shit. I’m just so glad that shows focused on teenagers like this exist.

Mu Nihuang & Mei Changsu & Xiao Jingyan - Nirvana in Fire

Oh boy. I have talked about these three so much already, I will keep it down this time. I couldn’t choose between either of them, because they all hurt me equally. Admittedly, the show focuses a lot more on XJY’s and MCS’s relationship, so I have lived through XJY’s pain the most, thus I might be quite biased in the way that his entire storyline hurts me the most. But that doesn’t take away from the pain of MNH’s and MCS’s relationship, even if it MNH doesn’t receive as much focus on the show as the other two. I’ve discovered her on my own, and made sense (or not sense) of the relationship between these three and god. I also keep saying that I like all interpretations of their relationship, but I do feel inclined to say that XJY was absolutely in love with his best friend and advisor. Other than that, I simply adore and hurt for them, no matter in which way.

BONUS: 

Nie Huaisang/Mo Xuanyu - The Untamed 

this image is from @vishcount’s absolutely stunning edit that they made for me, so please go give that some love. there are absolutely no visuals for these two and I’m still absolutely in love with this edit ❤ I decided to add them because this has somehow become such an incredibly personal pairing for me. they are practically non-existant in canon, and yet I managed to find everything in them? I might blame the 30k fic I wrote on them last year which has somehow become my own personal magnum opus. Everything hurts and nothing is okay, but who doesn’t like a good tragedy? Apparently I can’t get enough of it.

anway, enough with my ramblings! i’m tagging @isabellaofparma, @cortue, @the-cloud-whisperer, @intyalote, @sassyassassy​ ! maybe you have fun with this
