#blazingworld

[twosunsworld]

I think this is the first drawing that took me 20 hours in like 5 or 6 years, I'm usually pretty fast so I'm shocked.

Spoiler for the next drawing, is probably going to be a meme or a giant Mr fool with a tiny Danitz maybe something cute, maybe something a little sad, fate (my friends through a vote) will decide~~~~

Blazingworld first touch in soulmate au:

Danitz, internally: oh shit

Gehrman: *stares*

Danitz: umm

Gehrman, pointing at Danitz: rooster

Danitz: ?????

Gehrman: *goes back to resting*

Danitz: do you wanna perhaps... talk about this???

Gehrman, eyes closed: not when I'm not thinking straight

Danitz: ......

Gehrman: *realises pun* *opens eyes*

Gehrman, staring at the ceiling: ......

Danitz: okay... sleep well

Gehrman: *peeks at Danitz from under the covers* *nods*

Danitz: *leaves* am I going insane or was that cute

Gehrman, to himself: the colour scheme also matches (of rooster and Danitz)

Danitz x Klein Chinese fic guide 🐈‍⬛🦮

As promised, here is my reclist for fics that ship Danitz Dubois with Klein Moretti and his various personas (aka BlazingWorld, aka DaKe, aka KeNi, etc. henceforth referred to as d/k for convenience) in Chinese on Lofter (the Chinese equivalent of Tumblr) and a few on Ao3, plus tips on how to access and navigate Lofter.

Table of Contents: 1. Lofter reclist 2. Lofter tips 3. Ao3 reclist

Lofter recs:

This is just the handful of links that I originally saved for personal reference; on Lofter d/k is a popular ship with lots of content! I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface.

I’ll link to one or two fics that I liked from each account, but consider these author recommendations. I’ll be using the English titles bc they’re easier for me to type, but don’t take the translations too seriously.

First off, here is a reclist of d/k and sea team (klein, danitz, and anderson) fics. It’s long, I haven’t finished going through the whole thing yet, and unfortunately some of the links are dead because the post is from 2020 (so if you find a fic you like, check if the author has written more!)

zhujianqingjiu.lofter.com — several d/k fics plus other ships

Danitz just wants a good night’s sleep new relationship adjustment period, sweet + a little angst

Broken wings Danitz takes care of Klein without his powers

sanshier106.lofter.com — several d/k fics, but switched fandoms in 2020 😞

Soulmate AU part 1 of 6, however sadly this fic is incomplete. very sweet, well characterized.

hjnnk.lofter.com — excellent d/k fics, several multi-chap

Clearly a smile is enough to captivate a city part 1 of 17, modern gaming au longfic that I highly recommend

What’s it like to call your boyfriend by the wrong name? forum-style crackfic, d/k from anderson’s pov

melt05.lofter.com — another author with many d/k fics I really enjoyed! they cross-post their smut on ao3, however they post anonymously so you have to search each fic individually.

Honeymoon established relationship, Danitz introduces Klein-as-Dwayne Dantes to his parents, very sweet. There is never enough Danitz/Dwayne in the world

fairy62435.lofter.com — fluff! fluff! fluff!!

Lord Blazing’s secret lover? the cutest modern streamer au, chatfic where Danitz doesn’t realize he’s livestreaming

baixuaner.lofter.com — only one d/k fic, but it was completed recently

Zhou Xiaorui and his Mr. Pirate part 1 of 6, complete. highly recommend!! Danitz time travels to meet ZMR pre-ritual and they have a beautiful, millennia-spanning romance

xuesemeigui529.lofter.com — just a couple d/k works, but active recently.

Inanimate Object part 1 of 4, in progress, Danitz finds ZMR post-canon

lizijiu42798.lofter.com — several d/k oneshots, recently active

Mistletoe extremely sweet holiday fic

moon574629.lofter.com — handful of d/k fics

Let my heart part 1 of 2, Gehrman is injured and dying, Danitz doesn’t know he’ll resurrect, sad but happy ending

haixiudechayehe.lofter.com — actually it’s just this and two leoklein fics

Dogshit! Is this Gehrman?! technically part 2 of 2, but can be read alone. De-aged child Gehrman, good caretaker Danitz, very tender.

lengmochenxin.lofter.com — just a few fics but very good, recently active

Artificial Sleepwalking part 1 of 6, Klein and Danitz are both cursed, identity reveal through dreamsharing. The complete version including smut scenes is now on ao3 here! and the follow-up oneshot here.

Lofter tips:

First make a WeChat or Weibo account (must make the account in the apps), then use that to log on to Lofter (on your computer). When searching for lotm content, I refer to this list of chinese tags. Some users tag both the characters and the ship, some just tag the ship. 达克 [DaKe] implies Danitz tops but is also the more general tag (from what I’ve seen), 克尼 [KeNi] implies Klein tops — but there’s no actual smut on Lofter. Authors will sometimes post instructions to find the smutty parts of their fics on other platforms, the easiest is when you can just search the title (in chinese!) on ao3.

In order to translate fics, I just use google chrome (rip) and its built-in translator and I find the results are pretty good. You can use whatever method you prefer, but if you’re planning to copy the text into an mtl, know that you can’t highlight text in most blog posts, however you can highlight it if you’re viewing the post directly from the search results instead of on the op’s blog. If you’re on mobile, I have no idea. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Blog layout is similar to tumblr, every blog has a search bar, a ‘private message’ button, and an ‘archive’ button. I mostly use the archive to find fics, most users will put the ship name first in the title of the post. You can also click on the tags at the bottom of a post like on tumblr, but blogs with the default layout don’t automatically collapse long posts so this can involve a lot of scrolling.

A few more notes:

达克 DaKe will often be translated as ‘Dark,’ 克尼 KeNi is Kni or Kenny, etc., the translator doesn’t know how to handle ship names or non-chinese character names since they aren’t actual words. The name Gehrman (格尔曼) is another a major victim of this issue, I’ve seen the translator spell it a dozen different ways.

‘CP’ means ship (character pairing)

PA = AU (I forget what it stands for)

Translators will often get pronouns wrong! Especially in intimate scenes!! I believe this is because the original sentence in Chinese lacks pronouns, so when the translator adds them in to make a grammatically correct English statement, it will ‘assume’ the gender based on context.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to help if I can!

Ao3 recs:

Chinese authors tend to use ao3 as a place to post explicit content that would get taken down on Chinese platforms — so the fics are almost all smut. It can be hard to tell what a fic is about from the brief descriptions and minimal tags, you kinda have to click to find out if it’s good. However sorting by either kudos or word count can help bring the best stuff to the top of the pile.

I haven’t really been keeping track of fics that I like on ao3, so this is just a short list of a few that I remember. Most if not all of these authors are also on Lofter, but since they have ao3 accounts (instead of posting anonymously), I’m listing them separately from the Lofter recs.

Yuelaine — 6 d/k fics by this author

[达克]虚实狭间 The void between reality and illusion, longfic, aftermath of SA set in canon-divergent Vol. 3, most popular d/k fic on ao3

[达克] 恋如雨止 Love like after rain, longfic, Danitz falls for Klein Moretti

RandomForest, 18 d/k fics, explicit, some AUs.

I like this author but I have no idea what to recommend, it depends what you’re into. There’s abo, modern AUs, kinky smut, a sci-fi AU…

BERTHA_C, 10 d/k fics, explicit, mostly dubcon

【海上组】心安即是归处 Peace of mind is home, d/k/a, Klein goes to Danitz and Anderson after the end of Vol. 4

Melusine_MysteriousStory, 11 d/k fics

【达克】情感数值 Emotional Values, long oneshot, Danitz acquires a system that shows him Gehrman’s favorability and mood stats

【达克】Room No.9 by longlivelines (this d/k fic and a one d/k/a fic)

my favorite of the d/k ‘room 9’ fics (room you cannot leave unless you have sex), they can earn their freedom with sex, or by hurting each other, or...?

If you prefer a much kinkier Room 9 fic, there’s also 「克尼」驯化 Domestication by Yixiaozhu

Alright there we have it, happy reading! When you're done, come tell me which ones you liked and send me more recs!!

[blazingworld-week]

Hi everyone!

This is an interest check for having a week dedicated to creating fanworks (both art and fic!) for BlazingWorld - the ship for Klein (or Gehrman, take your pick) and Danitz.

The first thing would be to decide on a prospective time to have the event week.

What month would be preferable to you for the event?

late September

October

November

January (when Gehrman met Danitz!)

Remaining time: 3 days 12 hours

Hope we can get this ship sailing!

[twosunsworld]

Gehrman is looking at me like its my fault
