hello~ i'm not familiar with naming ships in chinese so do you know what yiyong x guangyan's ship name would be? yiguang or yongyan or something else?

Hey Anon!! I think our fandom is so small that you could literally use any lolol

Let me preface this, I don't know how the Taiwanese fans do this because I don't have a clue what platform they use for fandom stuff...are they on Twitter?? Facebook???

I use Weibo/Bilibili which is mostly Chinese people and love to name ships with 4 characters these days. The most common one I've seen is 光合作永 (guāng hé zuò yǒng) which is a pun to 光合作用 (guāng hé zuò yòng) and it means photosynthesis.

The shorter version is YongYan (there's 10 fics on AO3 that use YongYan tag)

iqiyitw posted with the tag 光合作永 (guāng hé zuò yǒng), so I guess that's semi official?

#ask #anon #oh no! here comes trouble #不良執念清除師 #ship names usually form from what flows the best in chinese its hard to explain its more a language quirk #although i feel like yongguang makes more sense in my head over yongyan bc guangyan's nickname is xiaoguang (official)#maybe bc yan is inkstone and it fits the calligraphy theme more yongyan do sound a bit like yongyuan - which means forever #i feel like the fandom is so small 🥺🥺🥺 theres not enough food out here #this is me trying to find hk content all over again where do they hangout?? they arent on weibo or tumblr or twitter but where are they???
