"But oh, how could we do aught but carve our names here, into the posts of the house where our love was finally declared?" shouts the actor currently pretending to be Wei Wuxian.

The real Wei Wuxian snickers into his sleeve while the harangued owner of the house in question still stands behind the actors wielding a broom at his gate and glaring at everyone.

A fic I wrote for @howdydowdy because we both had crap weeks and sometimes you just need some good wholesome...something.

Hope you enjoy, darling!

also if you look in the notes it's based off of a premise of howdy's that grew legs and bolted for the door so like check that out, but I hear that tumblr and links are weird things.

Look at their horrible little gremlin faces. Zixuan has suffered so much at their hands. Frogs in his shoes, mud in his hair, shoved off the dock at every opportunity. Every meal doused with enough chili oil to give Wei Wuxian pause. An incident with an intoxicated goat and his robes that he tries not to speak of but Wei Wuxian refuses to stop speaking of.

tumblr user @howdydowdy apparently read Cat Fic, and I might be fangirling a bit.

A lot.

10, 11, 12?

Thank you for the asks! =D

10.Most disliked arc? Why?

I am not sure I know how the story is actually divided/what constitutes an arc but let's try this. There is no arc I straight up dislike, I enjoyed the whole story. Maybe Yi City would count for how bad I cried for it? Or the part with the dancing statue, I seem to remember it was a short part but it still felt dragging. 

11.Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I am so easily swayed, I don't need much to grow attached (like all this mysterious Su She apologism I saw recently on my dash…?). But I will say Wen Chao, thanks to wifiwuxians and his Book Club AU! 

12.Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I can't really answer because I have no idea of which arcs are popular or not within the fandom? But speaking of arcs, I will say that I would have loved more archery, especially involving Wen Ning.

15 for the music box asks?

15)  a song that’s better as a cover 

ALSJKDLFJSL honestly rip me, because there’s very few songs I think are better as covers--I usually think both versions have charm, but hilariously, one of the few covers I do think outmatches the original is....... Wu Qingfeng’s cover of 花田错, you know, the theme song for pfmmpd. orz

LOOK. his version is just?? so!! soft and lovely and emotional and the styling, the lights, everything, I DIE!! I love it so much!! I’m listening to it right now and going ;AAAA; because that’s what I always do when confronted with this song.

but! since we’re on the subject of covers, I will take this moment to plug Moddi’s Unsongs album. It’s an album of english-language covers of banned and censored music from around the world. I wouldn’t say that any of his covers are “better” than the originals, since I think that would be against the very ethos of the album’s production in the first place, but i do absolutely think it’s worth a listen. I was lucky enough to catch him live when he was on tour in London (which is a whole story on its own he’s a very cool dude!! I was introduced to him by a friend on tumblr back in 2014 but anyways that’s a digression), and there’s a lot of power in the music.

anyways, moddi is an artist that I think has a lot of integrity and heart.

Unsongs is on spotify here. you can look at the project page here that has videos and interviews with some of the original artists, and read his explanations of the stories behind each of the songs here.
