Bo Ya & Qing Ming's meet cute
~*~Boya Can't Look Away From That Fox-Like Smile ~*~
I recently watched Yin Tang Masters: Dream of Eternity and got a bit obsessed with learning to draw these two - it's always fun to trying and put a real person's likeness into my style and I think I succeeded here with Qingming and Boya <3
Also this movie is fantastic, I cannot recommend it enough for the characters, the story, and the special effects!

qingya but it goes both ways
I ended up rewatching The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity with a friend who had never seen it this weekend, and I am SHOCKED to report there isn't a single "oh no, the guy I had a one-night stand with the night before I started my new job is here" fic in this fandom.
I recognize that sometimes we simply must cook our own food, but since I don't have time to write such a thing in full right now, here is the vaguely sketched out snack-sized version:
Modern AU
Qingming and Boya have both been hired to work on the TV show debut of an idol/pop star (aka the princess)
Qingming is her stylist
Boya is security
They arrive in Hengdian the night before and meet in a bar
There is a group of stunt performers doing enthusiastic but increasingly drunk karaoke (they appear to be working on some xianxia show, judging by the way they keep calling each other by their character names of Killing Stone, Snow Hound, Mad Painter, etc.)
Killing Stone in particular appears to have just gone through a breakup and decides to perform an overly emotional rendition of a ballad
Boya makes a pained face, Qingming tells him to be more sympathetic, Boya insists if he was truly heartbroken he could at least get the words right
Qingming challenges him to do better
Boya does
Qingming has to, you know, reward him
The next day...
Boya wakes up alone, which he is not annoyed about, tyvm, much less awkward, he can go about his morning routine in peace, etc.
He arrives at the studio and starts getting shown around by the princess-actress's manager and introduced to all the people who will be on her regular team this time...
...including her new stylist, Qingming
Well, now it's awkward
As yet undetermined plot would have to happen from here, but it would definitely have to include:
Qingming in work mode, being extremely flirty with everyone (because he thrives on industry gossip)
Boya: seething in jealousy and mad about it
Qingming's little disappointed look after Boya calls him scandalous for hanging around in his underrobes with his hair down with a bunch of male spirit guardians has me feeling some kind of way. That was a test of the waters, hey Boya just teasing just joking but haha what if, you know, what if boys, how would you feel if boys?? and Boya is like Why are you in your underwear again. Why are you drinking in the morning again when there's demons to catch and a murder to solve. I know you're teasing me. I'm leaving now. I'm going to go do very important serious things and not examine my feelings on the subject of you and boys at all. And Qingming is like Oh. And he doesn't try to pretend it's funny because Boya's already gone so there's no point and he just sighs and watches him leave. And it's the same way he tests him about the hulijing thing, and there's such a loneliness in it, and they're both trying to protect themselves and neither of them are exactly swimming in friends and they don't know how to let people in. And Boya can't express himself in words well and the only way he can manage to express "I'm letting you in, I trust you" is "here's literally my entire being." Fuck. Who doesn't wish a giant snake monster would show up and give us a good excuse to be emotionally and literally vulnerable to a crush/friendcrush. Don't lie. Having a crush is so embarrassing.
I call this: Boyfriends have an emotional goodbye and forget one of them can teleport
(I’ve been thinking about yym lately and suddenly couldn’t remember if I ever posted this on here? So here it is! I did it the night after I watched this movie for the first time and this scene was just so funny to me, they’re so dramatic and for what? xD I love them)
