For the Character Asks if you are still doing it: MianMian!
I AM STILL DOING IT...IT TOOK ME A HOT FUCKING MINUTE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT HERE WE GO.
How I feel about this character: gosh Mianmian is really great. it’s kind of cool to me that the character who gets the objectively best and happiest ending out of everyone is this one random woman who stood up against injustice when it counted. what with MDZS’s severe paucity of female characters, I’m still really glad that one of them is her.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: i don’t know that i actually have any ships with her? i’m generally in favor of shipping her with...the only other two girls her age...but I don’t really go hard for that, you know? I’m sure you could get some really good shipfic out of her and Wen Qing or her and Jiang Yanli, and i’m sure there’s some great crack pairings you could do with her, but eh.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: I mentioned it in my response for Jin Zixuan but I think their friendship is very cute and deeply amusing in its implications, since she’s one of maybe two characters in MDZS with their head screwed on straight, and Zixuan is himself. i’ve also seen fic and headcanons where she strikes up something of a friendship with Lan Wangji after WWX dies, when he’s doing his where-the-chaos-is-ing, and I like that a lot! it would be nice for Lan Zhan to have someone who isn’t going to treat his grief as wrongheaded and unfortunate, and she has The Correct Opinion about WWX, so. and she’d be very comfortable befriending another stuck-up, socially awkward pretty boy hehe.
My unpopular opinion about this character: one nitpick is that she doesn’t go by Mianmian in her adult life, so it annoys me a tiny bit when people call her that even when referring to post-wwx-death her? but when you say Luo Qingyang everyone is like “who?” so maybe it doesn’t make sense to call her that just in fandom contexts idk
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish she’d gotten to do so much more :X I really wish we knew more of her motivations for sticking up for WWX at the banquet and where exactly she went and what she did after. and I want to know how she reacted when she heard about Jin Zixuan’s death (assuming she even did!) and to what degree that put a dent in her WWX apologism because damn. just...more for her in general.
Send me asks!
