Chase: Dashi are you and Yan dating?

Dashi: What? No. Why would you ask? Come on, don't be silly.

Chase: Uh huh... Dashi, what do you call that sweet substance bees make?

Dashi: Uh, honey?

"Yan": Yes sweetie?

Dashi: ...

Chase: Don't you ever lie to my face again.

Wuya responding to the monks saying they'd kick her butt by turning around and putting a bulls-eye target over her butt before preceding to easily curbstomp them all, and while toying with them to boot, is (1) so hilarious and (2) so reminiscent of the few scenes we see of Dashi in action, like his showdown against Omi or his battle against Wuya. Both times he was also having fun and toying with his opponents. Their battle styles are surprisingly similar, I hadn't noticed until now!

That’s a very good point! I think that definitely does point to how similar the two are! Wuya is already pretty good at being blithe regarding Dashi, calling him a sharp dresser in the same breath as she calls him a fool. Were Dashi to have more than a few minutes of screentime where he talks and got on the topic of Wuya, I imagine he’d say things about her on a similar wavelength. 

Full fights between them I imagine would be, perhaps not playful necessarily, but sort of irreverent. Not really caring about making it look like a full, proper battle so much as getting their digs in. They like to rile up opponents and trick them into making mistakes in battle before utterly trouncing them. Enjoying having full control over a situation so they can have fun fighting.

Since Dashi had such a close relation with WuYan and probably felt somewhat complicated feelings about how it all came down to an all out war between them, do you think he ever felt sort of... uncomfortable with how, after the war, everyone praises him as the hero who vanquished Wuya? Poor dude doesn't get to forget about his Ex for even a moment, or even stew about it on his own terms. The villagers are all busy patting his back for a job well done, like, "Ding Dong the Witch is Gone" style

Oh I think he completely did. There’s a reason that when Omi goes back into the past to ask for a new puzzle box, Dashi is apparently doing his best to not be recognized by anyone and is just bumming around sleeping on the ground surrounded by pigs. Wanting desperately for anyone to not know who he is so that he can just rest when not doing what he’s gotta do. He literally even calls it his “cover”. He really badly just wants to be left alone.

He also gets visibly uncomfortable when Omi starts prostrating himself and gets all those people staring at him. Dashi is a trickster and a goofball, the kind of person who usually likes getting attention, but it honestly seems like he just... doesn’t? This is the man who has scrolls and statues and legends all about him and how he created the Shen Gong Wu. And all the dude seems to want to do is chill out and not talk about his great and mighty exploits.

I think he’d had more than enough of people congratulating him on what was maybe one of the hardest emotional hits of his life.

Evil Dashie makes a bad pun in front of wuya wuya makes him sleep in the dog house with jack

Joke's on her. He likes it out on the doghouse, it's got a nice crossbreeze. He's chilling over the top of it like Snoopy.

Wuya evil Dashi wedding head Canons please 🥺

They’ve actually had several evil weddings over the centuries. It’s a fun party to cause chaos with and have some cake while setting things on fire.

Always a ridiculously tall cake with multiple flavored cake layers.

Rather than a ring or anything, Dashi gives Wuya some new magical artifact, dormant or not. Wuya is always swooning over it.

Dashi tasks Bean as being in charge of flowers. Which usually means Dashi forces Bean into wearing an embarrassing tiny daisy costume he hates.

I would like to suggest Wudashi ficlet based on 'Bad habits' by Ed Sheeran, specifically this fragment:'My bad habits lead to late nights endin' alone Conversations with a stranger I barely know Swearin' this will be the last, but it probably won't I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do'

Dashi gazed up into the night sky, full of so many stars that it looked like someone had emptied all of the heavens’ treasures across the darkness overhead. Leaving nothing but a great swathe of glinting beauty against a dark, cool, velvety backdrop. The air had a slight chill to it, with the onset of autumn, but it was offset by the warmth draped across his chest, and the arms curled around his shoulders.

“You’re really missing a great view, Yan,” he breathed.

“Well, I’ve got a pretty great view here,” she replied without hesitation. He let out a short laugh, slightly jostling her where she lay. She traced a fingertip over his chest, the small slit of bare skin between the folds of his shirt.

“Man, I’d probably get such a scolding if the old farts back at the temple knew I was out here like this,” he mused. Wuya chuckled, the sound momentarily silencing the insects all around.

“They probably already know. But who’s going to stop you? They can’t exactly kick out one of the heroes of legend for flirting around.” Dashi smirked. She did have a point.

“... Hey Yan, what’s your favorite constellation?” he asked suddenly. She looked to his face now, raising an eyebrow.

“Now where did that come from?” she asked, playfully mocking. She felt the rise of his shoulders in a shrug.

“I dunno. I guess I don’t think I know a lot about you,” he replied. “I know one food you like, but don’t know if I know your favorite. Don’t know if you really have a favorite animal. Or a favorite-”

He was silenced when she cupped his cheek, and pressed her lips to his. She let his mouth free, only for a second. Just long enough to breathe against his lips.

“You talk too much.”

And then she kissed him again. And all his questions died while he rested his hands in the curve of her waist.

Well, that was the power she had. She made him forget to care, even if only for the space in time where there was no space between their lips.

💌 Wuya x Dashi

send me a 💌 for my opinion on a ship

I think it’s really a fun ship just for how fascinating it is to ponder how they may have gotten to the point they did. How they fell in love, the kinds of secrets and dramatic tension that had to have gotten stretched out as they got closer and the battle between good and evil grew stronger. And then what kind of spectacular explosion they would’ve caused when it all finally came to a head and all the secrets were revealed.

Their catty exes energy is so strong it can only make me think that they had a big thing before they broke up. Also think Wuya definitely tried to lure him to the dark side before he refused. Lots of drama on Dashi’s side too after the battle of his time was over since he did have to seal his ex girlfriend in a box.

(My slightly joking, slightly serious, and slightly unsafe for work answer below the cut.)

I feel pity for anyone stupid enough to call Wuya a old hag in front of evil Dashi for they shall die a slow and painful death. ( Cough cough looking at Raymundo)

Dashi doesn't even Look mad just before he strikes in that scenario.

Just smiles coldly then, bam. Ya dead.
