hello! I was captivated by your animatic, it's so fun xD may I ask your thoughts on these ships? (no judgment btw, feel free to go off however!! <3)
TYSMM for the kind words ♡♡ :3 I don't mind to answer!!
• I LOVEE BINGGEYUAN. I see people hating on Bingge for his horrible actions--, that he doesn't deserve true love cuz he's horrible, but I love the concept of Bingge disbanding his harem just because ShenYuan came into his life (and often has him eating out of his hand lmao). But I hate when authors make ShenYuan a submissive twink. Deep down, he's just as sassy and defiant as Jiu; he's just the other side of the coin, gentler, and I think that's why he catches Bingge's eye.
•I always think abt Cumplane as a bromance :O I never shipped them, but I understand if other people do. I don't know how to explain it, but it just... would fit [?? I'm glad the new extras show us a bit more of ShenYuan's concern for Qinghua/XiangFei. I feel like he was mistreated a lot in the main novel (ok that's his role, be the pathetic one lmao, but I'm still sensitive about how Qinghua is treated ueueueeuee).
• JiuYuan is a mystery to me. I've never read or seen anything about them outside of "twins" (to me, they have the same face ToT!!), so I don't know what the dynamic is about UuH. But it sounds VERY interesting, considering they both have strong personalities. I should really rethink the tag in AO3!!
• BingJiu is my guilty pleasure ship, help. It's crazy to think of Shen Jiu loving Bingge, but I've read two fanfics where everything is resolved with the power to rewind time, and I love it when they forgive each other. People would say "shEn JiU missChaRacTeriZaTioN" WELL I DONT CAREE, ao3 authors did a great job studying characters, rewriting them? redeeming them
• QiJiu is a headache that I really LIKE having. BC I HATE all the misunderstandings that happen just bc Yue doesn't speak up and Jiu just pushes him away. Bad communication final boss. I love that Yue doesn't hide his favoritism for Jiu; it seems like Jiu is using him to his advantage, but Yue is exactly where he always wanted to be. Their tragic end left me devastated /GEN. It makes me so sad that Shen Jiu never got an explanation. I wonder how much the original line would have changed if Yue had spoken from the beginning. U u
and I'M SO SORRYY for the late answer. I hadn't checked my inbox because of spam!! TwT
