WE LOVE YIN YU

A blog to celebrate our beloved, plain, ex-god, Yin Yu from Heaven Official’s Blessing. July 6th-12th 2025

[yinyuappreciationweek]

Hello!

This is the official blog for the 2025 TGCF fan event, “Yin Yu Appreciation Week!” The official date is July 6th-12th, and lasts 7 days. I will only host the event on Tumblr and will create a collection for AO3. You are welcome to post your own works on other platforms, but I am one person with a full-time job and can’t promise to run this event on Twitter too (also I have a personal gripe with Twitter anyway—don’t ask)

These are the tags I will suggest folks use for the event: #yinyuappreciation2025 and #yinyyuappreciationweek

@yinyuappreciationweek was so much fun! So many cool fics (I still have a couple left to read, yay). The art was amazing and the little Yin Yu mini doll adventures were super cute. And meeting new people who love Yin Yu is really cool. Thank you so much for organizing @juicedpeachy! <3

Day 7 of Yin Yu appreciation week "Happy endings"

'I hope there is still a position for me in ghost city. Its been a while... seems I can even manage to come back properl-'

'Huh-?'

"Welcome back Your Highness Yin Yu! Ghost city has dearly missed its Wanning Moon Officer! I am fairly sure they are already preparing a celebration!(*¯︶¯*)"

"Your highness I-"

"Wanning Moon Officer, I am glad to see you have returned. It seems like I might require assistance containing a sudden rowdy celebration that has sprung up(⁎⚫️ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)"

...

"I am not that strong as a ghost my lord. I am sorely afraid that I will be unable meet any of your expectations..."

"You are still Yin Yu, are you not? Last I checked that means you are someone who is kind, hard working, and good at what you do. I have never found a reason to think I would be able to find a better assistant. I am entirely sure you are worth any effort it takes, or rather help may you need, to get you to where you want to be."

"Thank you, lord Chengzhu.”

Here is the boy getting the appreciation he deserves!!!

Our boy deserves all the love and support!

Happy last day of Yin Yu appreciation week!!!! This was an awesome event! Thanks to @juicedpeachy for hosting it!!!

(I hope my silly plushie memes have brought a modicum of joy)

Fluff from me? More likely than you think.

It's last day of @yinyuappreciationweek and I had to participate even if it's a small thing. Hope you enjoy!

Title: Dried flower Prompt: Happy Endings—Belonging Relationship: Established Quan Yizhen/Yin Yu Words: 1,895 Summary: Yin Yu finds a vase with long-dead flowers in a secluded corner of Paradise Manor. He takes it upon himself to dispose of them. Withered, useless things have no place in such a bright, lively world. Isn't that what happens with everything after death? They lose their place. However, that doesn't mean they can't find somewhere to belong. Even dried flowers can be appreciated for what they are.

getting my yin yu fic just under the wire for yin yu week...

my idea when i started was that it would be based on the prompts for 'work' and 'belonging' but by the end of it the loneliness prompt was emerging pretty strong... there is the hint of belonging at the end if you squint :P

Yin Yu Appreciation Week Day 7: Happy Ending - Belonging

When everything settles down after the canon events, Yin Yu might or might not realize that he does have a place where he belongs 😌
