“They sink to the floor of their living room like that, Lan Wangji whispering his love warm and desperate and honest against the pulse point of Wei Wuxian’s neck, Wei Wuxian holding him impossibly close.”

Inspired by By Sun and Candle-Light which was written by the incredible tangerinechar on ao3. (I think their tumblr is @tangerinechar but lmk if its not and I’ll change it). It’s such a heartwarming fic I’m really a sucker for Soft Content.

op you know that ur... romantic and non-homophobic and not oversexualized show is... based all on the novel that you hate so much right. and that your perfect cql lwj wouldn’t exist without the novel lwj that you hate right. and that cql lwj doesn’t have any depth bc of censorship relating to his character development arc right. if you’re gonna call mxtx out for being homophobic i’d love to see you call cql’s censorship out for being homophobic too, or at least recognize that you wouldn’t have gotten your cql lwj if not for the “homphobic” portrayal of novel lwj. besides the fact that your points on novel lwj are fundamentally wrong and can be textually disproven, your takes on mxtx and the mdzs novel being “homophobic” are also fundamentally wrong (one, we don’t know if mxtx is straight, and two, who are you to proclaim gay men find mdzs novel uncomfortable, and three, did you even read the novel?) and the satisfaction that i will get from telling you off is a lot more than the satisfaction you will get from blocking me, so that’s a useless exercise.

plus. excuse me if this entire post radiates an air of superiority, but given your absolutely terrible takes on mdzs and lwj, general lack of reading and media comprehension, and the air of superiority that YOU have about liking cql, which is apparently so non-homophobic and well-developed and romantic, versus the novel, which is apparently so terrible and shitty and something that only fujoshis (never mind the fact that you’re misusing that word) and fetishizers like (despite the fact that MANY asian and asian diaspora lgbt ppl found comfort and representation in mdzs novel,) I think mine is perfectly justified.

u know what i’m just gonna swing at the hornet’s nest FUCK any version of lan wangji that isn’t cql and FUCK all of you for thinking the way he’s portrayed outside of cql is anything but homophobic. he has no personality aside from being a walking gay stereotype. he falls in love with the first shitty straight dude that pays attention to him (and yes, wei wuxian is implied to be straight until he resurrects into a gay man’s body which is WHEW conversation for another time), he’s jealous and possessive and basically imprisons this man in his room, and the way his love is also seen as corrupting children is so hilariously homophobic i’m shocked at how stupid some of you are. you can all twist his love into devotion or whatever, but it doesn’t change the fact that all mxtx did in creating his character was writing out every age-old homophobic stereotype without giving him an iota of the depth he has in cql….i shouldn’t have to sit here and watch gays laud this shit in 2020 but here i am. you will be blocked if you clown on this post

[tangerinechar]

IM GOING FUCKING FERAL OVER THIS I KEEP LOOKING AT THE COLORS AND THE POSE AND THE EXPRESSION ON WWXS FACE AND HOW LWJS BURYING HIS FACE IN WWX AND THE LINES AND LWJS BLUSHY EARS AND ALSO i really really love lwjs hair here and the way its tied at the end i think its So Cute and SO modern lwj HHHHHRGGHHH AND ALSO LWJS HANDS CLUTCHING AT WWX????

jiang cheng: what does he look like?

wei ying, crying: fucking BEAUTIFUL

-

lan zhan: have you seen my husband?

lan xichen: what does he look like?

lan zhan, softly: a celestial being walking upon this earth

[tangerinechar]

Wei Wuxian: let me get this straight? More like let me run something bi you.

Lan Xichen: Let’s pan this out.

Nie Huaisang: Let’s ace-ess this situation.

Lan Wangji: I’m gay (for Wei Ying).

[tangerinechar]

[playing scrabble]

Lan Xichen: I will put my “A” down to make “A”.

Lan Wangji: I will add onto your “A” to make “AT”.

Nie Huaisang: I will add onto your “AT” to make “RAT”.

Wei Wuxian: I will add onto your “RAT” to make “BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC.”

Jiang Cheng: *flips board and zidian crackles*

[tangerinechar]

wei wuxian: when I'm about to do something stupid, I ask myself if Lan Zhan would do this.

wei wuxian: and if the answer is no, then I do it.

[tangerinechar]

how i imagine wwx and lwj on the red carpet in my fic Some of You (on AO3 by tangerinechar)! Wow the proportions really do suck.

[tangerinechar]

hot take: gulliver is a furry, specifically, a furry who's into anthropomorphic horses.

MDZS ML au??

seeing as how I'm way deep in mdzs hell already, I came up with a MDZS miraculous ladybug au. As if I don't have enough fics to write already.

-wei ying as Blackie, the holder of the Black Cat miraculous and adopted son of the powerful Jiang family.

-lan zhan as Ladybug, the holder of the eponymous Ladybug miraculous, spare heir to the Lan Corporation and new kid in school.

-jiang cheng as Monarch, the holder of the Butterfly miraculous and heir to the Jiang family, and jiang yanli as Honeycomb, the holder of the Bee miraculous and the heart of their three-person team.

-nie huaisang as Kitsune, holder of the Fox miraculous and the biggest source of gossip at the Rich Kid(tm) academy they all attend.

+Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue as supportive older brothers who know their siblings' superhero identities

-Wen Ning as Tortoiseshell, the holder of the Turtle miraculous and the shyest theater kid you'll ever meet. Wen Qing as the one girl who knows everybody's identities.

-she acts as technical support and backup for the superheroes

-(and used to be their medical support, too, before Ladybug showed up)

-Jin Zixuan is given the Peacock miraculous by jiang yanli, much to wei ying and jiang cheng's amusement, and becomes Iridescent.

-Lan Xichen, Nie Mingjue, and Jin Guangyao form the Venerated Triad of the intersection of academics, arts, and athletics... they all attend the same college

-lan xichen as the prodigal student who's studying to become an international diplomat, nie mingjue as the captain of the martial arts team and future world champion, jin guangyao as the stunning musical talent (and holder of the rat miraculous.)

-some of the miraculouses are passed down by families, the jiang fam has the butterfly miraculous, the Jin family has the rat, etc.

-the Stunning Six (or the superhero seven, after lan zhan enters the picture) as they might be called, protect Shanghai and are pretty high-profile. Despite that, they manage to keep their identities well hidden.

-thanks to the magic of the miraculous, it'll stay that way

-nobody in the superhero group knows who Ladybug is

-except Wei Ying, who found out purely by accident

-aside from that, jiang yanli keeps her identity hidden from her teammates (except her brothers and Jin Zixuan) because she doesn't want word to get back to her parents

-Jiang Cheng uses his powers to create a body double of jiang yanli, because their parents would never allow her to moonlight as a superhero

-but everybody knows anyways, from how wei ying and jiang cheng are so protective of her.

-aside from jiang cheng, wen ning, and jin zixuan, the miraculouses were found hidden in their schoolbags or in their rooms one day.

-along with a note that warned them of unrest in shanghai and the danger to come, and a brief explanation of the miraculouses.

-everyone you meet either loves Ladybug or loves Blackie or both, and most everyone ships it too

-Ladybug is like

-the last person you'd imagine to be the co-leader of the superhero group, and so popular with the general public as well

-he's cold and stone-faced and super efficient, and has 0 tolerance for the media

-Blackie is charismatic and knows exactly what to say at all times and loves talking to his fans, on the other hand

-so they become the twin symbols of peace very quickly, Blackie being the sun, reassuring and comforting and confident, while Ladybug is the moon, scarily powerful and distant.

-jiang cheng, jiang yanli, wei ying, and lan zhan are the offensive

-nie huaisang, jin zixuan, and wen ning are the defensive

-out of all of them, Wen Qing, Nie huaisang, wei ying, and lan zhan end up doing the strategy and plans

-jiang yanli and wen ning provide moral support and food

-if anything goes wrong, the jiang family home is the unofficial meeting place for planning

-jin guangyao uses the miraculous of the rat

-he's the heir to the Jin family, but he has more nefarious plans in place to ensure his succession and consolidate his power

-the main superhero gang is in a rich kid high school

-can you imagine the efforts they go through to conceal their identities

-I mean, once things start going south they have to find a place to transform and deal with any new developments, trying to stop jin guangyao's underhanded plans

-all without skipping class or breaking any rules

-the place ends up being the empty science classroom on the second floor

-Blackie is the biggest flirt ever, but once Ladybug arrives he only has eyes for him

-half the net ships them ("look at how Done Monarch is with them! And how supportive honeycomb is being here! Don't you dare tell me they aren't trying to set Blackie up with LB.") And the other half is thoroughly convinced that they hate each other.

-But no matter what your view is, you can't deny that their teamwork is amazing

-Honeycomb is an actual goddess

-who knows, maybe lan xichen gets the dragon miraculous and nie mingjue gets the tiger, if they ever end up needing more backup

-Wei ying's costume is black with red accents around the ears, tail and gloves. Along with his baton, he carries a flute with him that, when used with his miraculous, can speak to animals. 

-Lan Zhan's costume is also mostly black, with red areas cut out on his sides, spirals decorating the legs and his neck. His hair gets tied up in a ponytail during the transformation, but he keeps the white and blue ribbon. his costume comes with a circular shield on the back that expands to become a pair of wings. his mask is black with red swirls.

-jiang cheng has a very practical outfit, with a violet tuxedo jacket that flares in the back, dark grey pants and fitted black boots, a sword at his side, a protective leather vest and a darker purple shirt with white tie. his hair is adorned with a braid and bun held in place by a butterfly clip.

-jiang yanli has a poofy sunflower yellow skirt that has two layers - a gauzy yellow layer and a solid black inner - along with a yellow top that has fluted quarter sleeves with black swirls, black gloves and leggings, and rusty golden boots. she also gets translucent wings that let her fly. Her mask has a honeycomb pattern.

-instead of a flute, nie huaisang gets a fan. he can attack with it, creating gusts of wind, and create illusions by flipping it. he gets decked out in full-on fantasy robes that vary from pale orange and yellow (outer robe and pants) to white (inner shirt and boots) to vivid sunset orange (inner robe). his mask has paw-prints under each eye.

-wen ning's costume is mainly a deep emerald green with lighter accents in shell patterns on the sides of his legs, arms, and stomach. His shield covers much of his back, like lan zhan's, and can be used to fly. His hair gets swept into a bun.

-jin zixuan's costume is much like nie huaisang's, except with a darker blue-green-brown color scheme and less inconvenient. his robes turn colorful as they reach the ground, and his mask fans out on the sides of his head like a peacock's tail.

-you can often spot Honeycomb and Ladybug soaring through the air at night, accompanied by Monarch and Blackie if you squint hard enough

-superhero gang getting up to shenanigans around the city and Nie Huaisang filming it all, uploading it to his weibo account

-Nie Huaisang, after videotaping a transformed jiang cheng falling into a river and Blackie hissing at it while Monarch yells for help: I have no regrets

-they all frequent this one tiny bubble tea shop, both as students and superheroes

-Wei Ying, uploading a group photo of them on a skyscraper at sunset, drinking bubble tea: the secret to gaining superpowers is good bubble tea

-Wen Qing doubles as their social media manager

-just, superhero!mdzs gang being happy

...my hand slipped.

some of you have never fallen in love with a guy only to have him turn into the enemy of your country, get ripped apart by zombies, and get resurrected after making you spend 13 years fruitlessly pining and playing heartbreaking songs in hope that you’ll get to speak to him once more and it shows.

[tangerinechar]
