The Ladies of Dance of the Phoenix (featuring Jun Linyuan and Yu Mingye).

Lyrics: Song of Women by The HU ft Lzzy Hale (I highly recommend giving it a listen as well as Wolf Totem).

I’m very new to gif making so bear with me. This is all just practice. But advice and constructive criticism is welcome. I’m a blank slate when it comes to anything like this.

I think I should’ve used different fonts for each line.

@yumingyesfairy I just finished episode 18 of Dance of the Phoenix...

Mu Yao...Mu Yao...MU - F*CKING - YAO! Girl...Zuo told this b*tch to leave Zhaoge alone and what does she do instead? Try to bully the girl into a fight. Zuo really did try and now I understand why she's so devoted to her. It's a shame Zhaoge doesn't see things from her perspective though. I get it though. She (Zhaoge) believed everyone abandoned her (and that couldn't be further from the truth).

I still don't like the love rival to Feng Wu angle though. It just feels forced. I do like Zuo as a rival, but not that kind of rival. Besides, I think she's a far better match for Yu Mingye (yes, even romantically lol)

I love how Feng Wu isn’t afraid to stuff her face. My kinda girl.

Dance of the Phoenix: A Character Guide*.

*by a biased and unreliable narrator.

Part One - The Youngsters**

**I have no idea how old these guys are supposed to be, but I’m guessing late teens/very early 20’s.

Feng Wu

Genius of the Capital. Possesses Phoenix Blood. Quickly has her Phoenix Blood stolen and then is killed by her rival within the first 5 minutes of episode 1.

Feng Wu #2

The protagonist. Is but isn’t Feng Wu. (I know - try not to think too deeply about it). Trickster. Determined, intelligent, kind and insightful. Has a cool fiery sword. Talented medic and brilliant cook. Gets possessed by Phoenix Blood whenever her life is in imminent danger. Everybody loves her except those who don’t.

Jun Linyuan

Male lead. Feng Wu’s love interest. Rarely smiles. Uptight like there’s a stick up his arse. Crown Prince of Junwu. Tends to use his status to get what he wants. Powerful cultivator. Has a minor myocardial infarction every time he has emotions due to eating poison as a kid. Funny bone appears to be broken. Gets the girl. Kind of a douchebag. Similar to MDZS’s Lan Wangji but minus the likeability. My friend refers to him as the Grinch. Is supposed to be in his late teens but actually looks like he’s 30 with a wife, two kids, and a mortgage.

Yu Mingye

Heir to the Darknight Court. Powerful cultivator, and Jun Linyuan’s rival in power and love. No one likes him, despite the fact that he’s actually a giant sweetheart underneath the villainous goth exterior. He’s in love with Feng Wu but boy is that a disaster. Terrible at flirting. Extremely gullible. Never enters via the door. Sucks at being stealthy. His father made him kill his best friend as a child. All he has left of his mother is her flute. Used and abused by his father and the protagonists. Loses everything, including an arm. Desperately needs hugs. Very attractive.

Zuo Qingluan

Feng Wu’s rival, main antagonist. Steals Feng Wu #1’s Phoenix Blood and then kills her. Would’ve been a nice person had her master not taught her she has to be the best otherwise she has no worth. Wants to marry Jun Linyuan for the power. Loves winning. Besties with Queen Sheng. An ice person (pun, not a typo). Loves her junior sisters, especially Zhao Ge. Bitch in sheep’s clothing. Goes mad with envy. Turns to the Dark Side. Has the title of “Goddess”, so like, pretentious much?

Feng Xun

One of Jun Linyuan’s two best friends. Endearing idiot. Actually really nice. Never stops talking, even when he should. Thinks he’s a Casanova but comes across as more of a Pepé le Pew. Snarky. Loves food, especially Feng Wu’s cooking. His mum makes his pyjamas. Wields a fan sharp enough to slit a throat and makes it look awesome, even if it’s main use is fanning lanterns so Jun Linyuan can impress Feng Wu. No relation to Feng Wu despite same surname. Was in love with Feng Wu as a child

Xuan Yi

Jun Linyuan’s other best friend. Grandson of Master Fang of Junwu Academy. Major bookworm. Comes across as serious and disapproving, but is actually just shy. Awkward around girls he likes. Hilarious when drunk. The smart one of the group. Falls in love with Zhao Ge but it takes him forever to voice even the slightest feeling for her. Makes an awesome battle couple with Zhao Ge in the finale. Dies but then doesn’t.

Zhao Ge

Feng Wu’s best friend. Daughter of the Celestial Palace’s Master but is exiled for being embarrassingly useless with cultivation. Beloved by Zuo Qingluan. Was fat but then was miraculously made slim overnight by a magic flower. Is terribly shy and timid, but very sweet and a loyal friend. Wields a slingshot and is awesome with it. Becomes better at cultivation with Xuan Yi’s help. Awful cook. Falls in love with Xuan Yi and actually makes the first move. Dies but then doesn’t. Can speak wolf, apparently.

Mu Yao

Alpha bitch of the Celestial Palace. Idolises Zuo Qingluan. Bullies Zhao Ge. Hates Feng Wu. She’s the captain of the Jun Linyuan/Zuo Qingluan ship. Starts to have some character development and then promptly dies.

Huang Li

Starts off as secondary alpha bitch in Zuo Qingluan’s gang, but goes through some major character development after apologising to Feng Wu for accusing her of murder. Takes a level in badass. Breaks the good guys out of jail. Rallies her peers to join Feng Wu. Leads part of the fight during the Battle for Junwu. Has a cute crush on Yu Mingye. Yu Mingye is painfully oblivious to this.

Part Two: The Adults (and a magic bird)

Part Three: The Rest

Lyrics: Daisy by Ashnikko

Zuo Qingluan was a goddess and she deserved so much better. Her shitty master had made her believe she’d never be good enough, despite sharing the title of most powerful cultivator alongside Yu Mingye and Jun Linyuan, until Feng Wu steals their thunder what do you mean it’s her show?

And I totally ship Zuo Qingluan and Yu Mingye. But like, I headcanon they were having rough hate-sex in secret, and totally tore into each other, to vent some of their anger and frustrations. Yu Mingye might be in love with Feng Wu, but he’s only human, and he isn’t going to pass up a round of hardcore hide the zucchini with a goddess.
