I went to update after a year, and ao3 tells me it's down?? Is it my fault or did smth actually happen
having writer friends is being like in the world’s tiniest fandom except to get new content you have to beat it out of the author with a stick

A little help (can go a long way)
ScarletRuby19 over on Twitter commissioned me for a canon fix-it, where Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang and Jin Zixuan become sworn brothers so that Jiang Cheng has some back-up, with a little freaked out Wei Wuxian and a minor accident for Jin Guangshan. I hope it turned out like you wanted it to! It’s 5k long, so you can alternatively read it here on AO3.
Jiang Cheng isn’t exactly sure what he ran into when he comes across apparently everyone important on the mountain hunt, but it seems he’s interrupting something.
Jiang Yanli seems ready to throw down, Jin Zixun seems ready to crawl back into the hole he came out of whereas Jin Zixuan has stars in his eyes. Wei Wuxian seems close to a break-down, Lan Wangji seems desperate to keep him together and Madam Jin clearly has a headache coming on.
It seems all very suspicious and Jiang Cheng is liking exactly zero of this.
“What is going on?” Jiang Cheng asks, and he seems to break the tense situation because Jiang Yanli turns away from Jin Zixun to take Wei Wuxian’s hand in hers.
“Let’s go,” she says and starts to walk away, dragging a clearly still rattled Wei Wuxian away, Lan Wangji following them after a little bit of hesitation.
“What did you do?” Jiang Cheng presses out, turning his accusing glare on Jin Zixuan, because clearly the peacock has something to do with this.
“It’s not me,” Jin Zixuan says, and points at Jin Zixun. “It’s all him,” he hisses, the anger more than clear on his face and Jin Zixun doesn’t seem all to happy.
He is just about to open his mouth when Madam Jin speaks up.
“Enough!” she snaps and glares at Jin Zixun. “You ruined enough already. Take him away,” she orders with a handwave to Jin Guangyao, who bows deeply and motions for Jin Zixun to follow him as he stalks away.
Jin Zixun does, after only the briefest of hesitations.
“What exactly happened?” Jiang Cheng asks again, because no one explained that yet to him, and he straightens up when Madam Jin turns towards him, though her face goes a little bit softer.
“There were some rude remarks, though I think your sister put him into place quite beautifully,” Madam Jin says with a sigh and a look at Jin Zixuan. “A shame, that the marriage will probably fall through now.”
Jiang Cheng goes cold at that, because for all that he doesn’t like Jin Zixuan, his Sect is kind of in dire need of a political alliance. The marriage was the best way to get that and Jiang Cheng is ashamed to admit that his sister’s happiness was not the main concern here.
But he has to think about his Sect first now.

THESE TWO GIFS GAVE ME A REALLY GOOD IDEA FOR A CHENGXUAN AU:
𑁤- Jin zixuan had enough of the sect duties and the pressure of being the perfect heir + his parents constant arguments so he decides to runaway from jinlin tai to become a rogue cultivator instead ( eventually will get used to the hard life without pampering ).
𑁤- Jiang Cheng deciding to indulge into demonic cultivation ( like what if he becomes the yiling patriarch's successor ) , so he becomes quite unstoppable.

stupid idea for a MDZS fanmade visual novel:
you play as jin zixuan. after a long series of various events and misunderstandings, you come to understand that your acquaintance jiang yanli, who you once wrote off as average, is in fact a perfect soul who you desperately want to marry. the only problem now is that she 1. is still convinced that you hate her, 2. probably hates your loser ass too, and 3. is surrounded by men and women who are far more qualified to date her than you are. #1 and #2 can hopefully be resolved eventually with enough time, effort, and apologies.....but #3 seems to render that impossible, since if you're not careful any one of these "more qualified" bachelor/ettes might snap her up first!!!!!
you immediately identifies wei wuxian as your biggest threat, because from your (jin zixuan's) pov, wei wuxian is jiang yanli's male childhood friend who she super dotes on. after seeing how close they are, you are initially almost ready to give up - except then you find out that lan wangji is gay and in love with wei wuxian, and thus realize that you can eliminate wei wuxian as a threat if wangxian get together.
you then realize that this also applies to everyone else you see as a romantic threat. so, because you are a problem solver, you come up with a solution: before any of jiang yanli's friends can make a move on her, you will find a way to pair them all off with each other. that way, they will all be too busy dating each other and your path to yanli's heart will be (relatively) clear.
so instead of being a dating sim, the objective of the visual novel is to help all the various side couples involving yanli's friends get together, so none of them can threaten xuanli.
ideally, the game will let you freely choose which couples to push together, so there will be a wide variety of routes and endings.
("jiang yanli's friends" in this game is just the set that includes all the mdzs characters more commonly shipped with each other. jiang cheng is there, but he's yanli's brother so he's not a threat. so zixuan's strategy for him is just to keep him available on the side, so he can be paired up with whoever's left over after all the other matches have been made but is still a high enough threat.)
jin zixuan's threat assessments (accuracy not guaranteed):
extremely high:
wei wuxian
high:
nie mingjue (bc of his muscles)
lan xichen (bc he's popular)
wen qing (bc even straight girls would go lesbian for her)
medium:
wen ning (he seems too timid for dating)
nie huaisang (he seems more interested in hookups than dating)
jin guangyao (my own half-brother wouldnt betray me....right?)
low:
mianmian (she's my friend so she wouldn't betray me. also she seems interested in someone else (mr. mianmian))
lan wangji (gay, uninterested in women)
su minshan (too much of a hater)
jiang cheng (brother)
conditions for victory:
wei wuxian must be paired with someone.
everyone from the high-risk group is paired off.
a maximum of 1 person from the medium-risk group is left unpaired; everyone else from the medium-risk group is paired off.
yanli approval score (explained below) is above a certain threshold.
you do not need to pair up anyone from the low-risk group in order to win; the low-risk group is there purely to help you. pairing off people in the high- and medium-risk group is necessary not because they are actually a threat to xuanli, but rather because jin zixuan will only feel secure enough to confess once almost all of his perceived romantic rivals have been removed.
some game notes:
throuples are allowed.
while wangxian is the most straightforward way to eliminate wei wuxian as a threat, the game also allows for other wei wuxian pairings. in other words, you as the player can betray lan wangji by pairing wei wuxian up with someone else instead - in which case the game is still winnable (ie. jin zixuan can still get together with jiang yanli, which is the victory condition), but you also unlock a special CG of lan wangji crying.
the achievement of the victory condition is decided not just by whether or not you successfully pair everyone else up, but also by a hidden metric called the yanli approval score. this is calculated by your interactions with wei wuxian, jiang cheng, and jiang yanli herself as the game continues: if you are kind to them, then the score goes up, and if you are rude to them, then the score goes down. if your yanli approval score is low enough upon the game's end, then yanli will still refuse to date zixuan even if you've successfully paired everyone else off.
notably, attempting to pair jiang cheng up with someone and then failing nets you a severe yanli approval score demerit, while successfully pairing up jiang cheng with someone nets you a high yanli approval score increase. interestingly, pairing chengxian together nets you the highest increase in yanli approval score.
if you get nielan together and then do not pair up jin guangyao with anyone, then the game gives you the option of putting in the hard work to help him network. it is highly recommended that you take this option, as if you do not, jin guangyao will expose to jiang yanli everything you as jin zixuan have done in the least flattering terms possible, which will make yanli unwilling to date zixuan and will net you a game over.
if you get xiyao together and then do not pair up nie mingjue with anyone, then the game gives you the option of putting in the hard work to find him a hobby. it is highly recommended that you take this option, as if you do not, nie huaisang will push jin zixuan into the traffic and you will get a game over.
if you intend on pairing up jiang cheng with anyone other than wei wuxian himself, then wei wuxian will run interference against you; a successful strategy therefore must include anti-wei-wuxian measures. this remains true even if you previously helped wangxian get together, because wei wuxian is an ungrateful bastard.
if you intend on pairing up jiang cheng with lan xichen, then both wei wuxian and lan wangji will run interference. because of this, the xicheng route is probably the hardest route involving jiang cheng in the entire game; to compensate for this, the xicheng route also has the second-most CGs (after wangxian).
if you get jin guangyao together with someone, then he will offer his assistance to you for the rest of the game. this translates into additional stats, intel, and information on who likes who the most, which will make the rest of your run easier.
if you get nie mingjue together with someone, then nie huaisang will offer his assistance to you for the rest of the game as well. nie huaisang offers the same assistance as jin guangyao above, but he also includes his own commentary and opinions.
you (as jin zixuan) cannot date anyone else. sorry zixuan x other shippers, this is a xuanli game.

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.
Yeah, and quite well I'd say
im giggling. the difference between them picking things up is still so funny and cute to me ssjdhbfshdhfs
