I Think This Is A Mental Stance I Need To Take. All Of This Stuff Ive Been Hearing About MDZS, The Fans,

I think this is a mental stance I need to take. All of this stuff I’ve been hearing about MDZS, the fans, the antis, has driven my anxiety through the roof at times. I’m prone to catastrophizing, and the cold, hard truth of the matter is that I don’t know crap about what’s going on overseas or how they work. All I know is hearsay; so, I need to take to a step back and just realize that, not only is the situation, whatever it may be, out of my hands, I don’t even have the full story. It all comes back to “What do I know?” -shrugs-

But, yeah, this was a good post, and I thought I’d share this. 

I'm not sure but maybe the previous anon might refer to the situation with mdzs fans, you can find info on manhua-assistant blog.

If the previous anon was talking about mdzs, then I don’t think the incident will affect the donghua. If anything, it will make the staff even more careful about the BL elements of the donghua for fear of the censorship office. The truth is that Cornetto is making a hell of money from their mdzs-themed ice-cream shop, both TGCF and MDZS have been on jjwxc’s top charts for ages, and there’s no reason to think that the donghua will be any different.

By the way, I think manhua-assistant was pushing 2 different topics together. The post made by the author on weibo was aiming at the fans who were flaming mzy, the actress of Wen Qing, online over the rumors about Wen Qing Ling, not the teacher’s committing suicide incident. It’s an entirely different drama of its own. The next post by the author was her apologizing to the fans because while she didn’t change her stance on the fans’ personal attacks on mzy, her words were too heavy-handed (the exact words used were “flesh-eating”, in a referencing to Lu Xun’s story, A Mad Man’s Diary).

I should also note that mxtx has a lot of antifans who will twist every single things mxtx and the fans do into sth horrific. The author has been accused of plagiarism (with little evidence for the crime), has been accused of paying people to make music and arts to advertise her works, has been accused of just paying lip service when she told the fans to not attack mzy personally. The fandom itself has also been repeatedly accused of being too rabid and kept mention mdzs all over the place.

Personally, I take all those accusations with a grain of salt. Antis are going to be antis. Same with the story of the teacher. Unless proper verification is made (like who the teacher is, which region she comes from, does she exist as an actual person or is this just another internet rumor, the exact reason why she commits suicide, for all we know, if the person exists, she could have committed suicide over an entirely differently reason, what is the result of the authority’s investigation, etc.), I believe in nothing.

I’ve been wanting a Fatal Frame AU for the longest time. Thank you for this.

It’s a true blessing. 🙏

In which I have a shitton of ideas on a Fatal Frame AU for MDZS because why not, but only one picture came out of it. Sometimes you’re so constipated, nothing comes out. I have way too much and illustrating all of these will be a major pain sobs.

AU since most of us don’t know how exactly WWX died yet: What if he was spirited away instead of full-blown dead?

Set sometime after WWX was announced to have died

LWJ, being where the chaos is, ends up helping someone with no money, but with a Camera Obscura a camera that can take spirit photos and exorcise resentful energy from spirits to barter with. He proves that it’s real right then and there by snapping a photo of LWJ on the spot, revealing his mother behind him.

Back in Cloud Recesses, LWJ snaps a picture of LXC to reveal their father behind him before taking a selfie with LXC; a family photo ish with their parents’ spirits behind them

“What if Wei Ying is the same way with A-Yuan?” LWJ snaps a photo of little Sizhui, but no WWX. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow in the Burial Mounds. He goes to sleep with the camera placed somewhere in his room.

The next thing he sees after drifting off to sleep is a derelict version of his room. He picks up the camera, wanders out to see 15yo WWX perched on the wall (like most of the harmless ghost encounters).

He snaps a photo of the specter, who notices him and runs away. LWJ follows.

Most Fatal Frame gameplay consists of wandering around and unraveling the backstory of the unknown setting through notes scattered all over the place, but instead of that, since the setting is known to the protag, it ends up being LWJ looking at snippets of WWX’s life when he wasn’t around to witness it and following WWX’s constantly-running specter while photographing malicious ghosts in the way. Because they’re ghosts, neither Bichen nor the guqin work; and because it’s some alterworld, there are no talismans around.

It culminates in him finding Yiling Laozu!WWX as a ghost(?) chock full of resentful energy, driven insane. By that point LWJ has understood the sheer weight of WWX’s emotional burdens and cue final boss fight as depicted in the picture

Fatal Frame has multiple endings depending on your choices, so endings below:

Worst ending (Canon?): Don’t complete any item sidequests. Final boss fight is quite easy as it only consists of photographing WWX who just charges at LWJ. After the resentful energy has all been exorcised, WWX disappears into thin air just like the other ghosts LWJ fought. LWJ shouts “Wei Ying!!!” but ends up shouting himself awake and, as usual, wakes up alone. *Fatal Frame has this notorious habit(ish) of making the worst endings canon, as seen in FF1 and FF2, which leads to FF3

Good ending: Complete the item sidequest for the Spirit Containing Pouch. Final boss fight is the same as the worst ending, except at the end of the fight, LWJ uses the pouch right after all the resentful energy has been exorcised and WWX was beginning to fade away. He wakes up with the pouch right beside his pillow. He then plays Inquiry, and there are responses… (“Are you Wei Ying?” “Yes.”)

Best ending: Complete the item sidequests for Chen Qing and Suibian. Final boss is significantly harder, because both items just flew to WWX when LWJ arrives in the final boss stage, so he can summon ghosts and slash around/his hits are harder. Right after WWX is all exorcised, instead of fading away, he collapses to the ground. LWJ drops the camera to catch him. He wakes up with WWX beside him shortly afterwards. WWX opens his eyes; clear without any resentful energy and LWJ gives him the biggest hug. WWX is confused as hell because “tf dude? don’t you hate me to bits?? what’s going on?” LXC comes over after hearing the little ruckus and gives WWX some much-needed exposition on how LWJ truly feels about him. 

EXTRA SCENARIO based on the best ending

Shortly afterwards I speculate that LWJ and LXC will just decide to plain hide WWX from the rest of the world hoping that JC and JGY don’t notice that Chen Qing and Suibian have magically disappeared as they are back with WWX; while WWX is all ????????????? ????????????????? ?????????????? how did i come back to life ?????????????????

The night after, LWJ (and WWX) go to sleep with the camera still inside the room but they don’t go to the alterworld; the camera stopped working during the day.

But the next morning LWJ finds WWX tinkering with the camera (“Lan Zhan, no wonder it’s not working, the gears inside have been displaced. Did you drop it or something?”)

Shortly after fixing up the components inside, WWX tests the camera (on LWJ? LXC? Little Sizhui? idek) and it works again. He happily mentions something about improving it. The night after, they sleep again with the camera in the room.

and then both of them get transported into the alterworld :“> at least this one is more comedic and lighthearted. They wake up together again and decide to stash the camera in the treasure room.

AU NOTES:

Most FF games involve physical locations, but FF3 features a less physical location; the Manor of Sleep is…somewhere, but it can only be accessed by whoever bears the Tattooed Curse, and while they’re sleeping.

Yes, FF bosses can summon mooks; at least in FF5, the final boss does it in both of her forms.

Item sidequests are a thing. In FF3, if you don’t complete a certain sidequest, one character will not survive.

FF plots always revolve in a dark ish ritual failing and consuming the location completely, with the final boss being the shrine maiden involved in the failed ritual. It’s not hard to see WWX being an FF final boss.

FF5 has a character whose endings are determined based on whether she photographs her mother in a certain location or not. If she doesn’t, she will have a final moment with her mother before said mother fades away, as the mother has a limited lifespan. If she does, she will have a proper moment with her mother in an outside location, and wakes up in the designated home base location beside her mother. Simply put, the best ending of LWJ being reunited with WWX in less than 13 years is based on that ending.

In some parts of FF2, you play as a younger twin sister, with the older twin sister by her side. You need to make sure that the older twin’s HP doesn’t reach 0 and to not leave her behind. The shenanigans that happen to LWJ and WWX after WWX fixes the camera is based on this gameplay aspect.

For someone who doesn’t know anything about fashion I sure do love fashion AUs

So, like...thanks for the art. That crown is super dope, and sect leader!WN as a whole looks super dope. 

I also want to thank you for this AU. I need to see more. 

100/10

- Mommy, who is this young master? - See the sun on his clothes? This is a young Leader of Qishan Wen Sect, sir Wen Qionglin. - Wen? The Wen sect? - Yeah, dear, but don’t be afraid. The Sun for left the warpath long time ago. - He looks so sad, mommy… - Yes, honey. That’s because he lost… someone very important to him. - Who? - Mm, do you remember the story about Yiling Patriarch? - The one who was betrayed by his own men and crucified on the gate? - Yes, honey, but don’t shout it so loud. - So? - What “So”, honey? - I remember the Yiling Patriarch. So? - Sir Wei Wuxian was the precious spouse of sir Wen Qionglin. And the mother of his child. - Ooh… - Yes, honey. Now let’s go, we don’t need to bother sir Wen for nothing…

A part of my Ningxian AU. Actually i just wanted to draw Wen Ning as a sect leader, so text is a kind of bonus xD

In an omegaverse where NMJ becomes smitten with WWX after hearing about how he dealt with WC, NMJ makes a bet during the discussion conference at Phoenix Mtn. 

NMJ, “Even if your pretty little flute plays the most alluring melody, you still won’t be able to lure enough [prey] over to best me. 

WWX, “Oh? You want to put your money where your mouth is, big guy?”

NMJ, smirking, “Once I win, I’ll be putting my mouth on yours~” 

WWX, blushing, “W-well, I guess I’ll have to work hard then, won’t I?”

What he doesn’t say is that he has to work hard to preserve his first kiss. 💖

Spoiler Alert: NMJ wins.

OFC, after MingXian’s together, I imagine NMJ laying on WWX’s lap and asking WWX to tell him how he terrorized the Wen dogs again. 😉
