(1/?) i cant believe you've done this (im back baby - and you got the vine voice!!) galaxy brain v2 - NMJ AND YANLI. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY BRAIN I HAD NEVER CONSIDERED THIS BEFORE. picture: nmj, all fierce and imposing and vibing like a bear fresh out of hibernation and yanli, polite and calm and a little worried because a-cheng emits that same vibe sometimes and it just can NOT be good for them, has anyone ever made him soup before? no? how the fuck has this man survived –
(2/?) and nmj, not knowing what to do, because is she like a female xichen? No – that’s not doing her justice, she’s her own person – and then he sees her lose her shit at someone (definitely still zixun) for trash talking her baby bro wwx and he feels such strong approval cause if anyone talked shit about nhs like that he too would like to lose his shit, and yeah maybe his way would involve a lot more blood on the other person but that’s not to say yanli’s method was lacking
(3/?) , because he knows a good tongue lashing can be as hurtful as swords, but imagine the heart eyes when he sees how caring she is to nhs, showing interest in his artistic hobbies and nurturing the fuck out of him and making him food and just including him and he doesn’t think they’ve ever once even mentioned cultivation and nhs is sparkly eyed under her love and attention and nmj goes soft and did you evEN CONSIDER HIS QI DEVIATION.
(4/?) Yanli would be so aggressive about it, you cant tell me she wouldn’t, but not in like, an open way. Oh, you need xichen to come and play some fancy gusu healing music for you? Cool, invite him for the whole week and I can totally not harass him into teaching me the best ways to help that im capable of, even if its just drowning your body in soup (love). There is so much to be unpacked here what the fuck I literally went to sleep with yaoli on the brain and I woke up with this bullshit
(5/DONE) okay im settled now look what you've created im so pumped for rarepair pain thanks for indulging my rambling!!!
I feel like the rarepair toothfairy, except instead of taking teeth, I just leave really obscure ship ideas under people’s pillows to soak into their brains and I’m LIVING FOR IT because this is BEAUTIFUL oh my gOD. ‘A bear fresh out of hibernation’ ‘has anyone made him soup before?’ I LOVE IT.
Can you see her brushing against Baxia at some point and the Baxia-undercurrent energy that sort of hangs out in the back of Mingjue’s mind just perks up and going ‘what the fuck was that?’ and that’s when he knows it’s special.
And Yanli dealing with Qi Deviation?? [chef’s kiss] The angst, the hurt/comfort, the fluff potential! You’ve got it all!!! They are both fierce and loving in their own ways and show it differently but it would work too! Huaisang would spend as much time as possible with her and they would bond so quickly because she’s used to praise-starved young men very hopefully asking if she likes the pictures that they’ve drawn.
