OR

B. Throw us a bone. Talk about your favorite NIF related headcanon, meta or plot bunny

that lives rent free in your head. (You can also throw us a boneR and make it NSFW :P). You can do this in the submission post itself or link to a post in your own space. Engaging conversation with another person’s headcanon/meta/plot bunny (e.g., response/expansion to a someone else’s meta) is also considered a valid submission.

One of my favorite headcanons is that Prince Yu's child grows up to be a decent person and comes back to court in an important role, maybe even becoming a good friend of Jingyan's child(ren). (I also like to ignore NiF2 lalalalala)

Also Jingmum and Yanpapa hook up and finally find some piece and happiness. Yes. /nodnod

I don't know what happens in NiF2, so it's pretty easy for me to ignore! My memory is that MCS smuggles the prince's widow away, pregnant with the child, to the jianghu. Is that it? Do you think the kid's mother talked positively of court, making the kid interested that way. OR tried to warn them away and so got them interested in a more roundabout, 'well I've been told not to touch the fire so now I want to to see what it's like!' kind of way

I can't get it to load :( I get as far as the opening music, and nothing else. Is it just me, and if not does anybody know a way past it?

A small headcanon I have is lin chen and mcs being The Most Insufferable duo to exists, and nihuang and jingyan gotta put up with their antics. They still love their duo all the same though

YES YES YES YES
LC and MCS together are Big Chaos Energy!!
Imagine them on a Jianghu adventure together. LC and MCS ferret out corruption by Trolling and then JY and NH comes in to Righteously Rain Down Justice :D :D D:

I have a lot of headcanons/plot bunnies living in my head completely rent free, unfortunately. it's getting crowded! but a few of the most prominent

--if a canon lets me, i will have Equestrian Thoughts for days, and my NiF one is that Lin Shu was a superb horseman, and that he genuinely adored finding the most ill-tempered, fractious, badly behaved horses and specifically training them. And then as soon as they were up to his standards, he'd pass them on to whoever he decided was the Right Person, and go find the NEXT worst behaved horses in the stables. there's a sad oneshot in this hc somewhere...

--a friend of mine and I kept going "HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS" at MCS when he would reveal information, and eventually we decided the answer was ghosts. So now I have a plot bunny where MCS sees ghosts, and is constantly surrounded by his own dead. it spills a little into nif2, which I'm watching with the same friend, because Pingzhang has NO BUSINESS being that much like MCS.

--I've hc'd Jingyan as asexual since like halfway through my first watch, and i'm very attached to that hc by this point. There's a queerplatonic oneshot (or twelve!) in this, mostly bc i think i need to be the change i want to see in the AO3 tag.

--i simply believe that many of MCS's problems in canon would be alleviated by the addition of more devoted feral children. Specifically, I think he need a Meng Yao to go around and Know Everything when he can't be somewhere. I'd like (someday) to write a fic where MCS is accompanied to Jinling not just by Fei Liu, but also a handful of other terrible and horrifyingly talented children who unnerve everyone.

I subscribe to LS + horses! It's really sweet. But the parallels with JY.... ;___;

The horse headcanon made me LOL at first because yes! Ghosts are the answer! and then the penny dropped and it made me really sad.... why do you keep doing this

Nothing in canon contradicts JY being ace, so I can also see this really easily.

...are you basically saying MCS needed to be batman? I don't actually know that much about batman except what tumblr tells me and that is that he adopts about a jillion robin children by the end. What he needs is more people who's help he can't slip out of! It's why Lin Chen couldn't come with him from the beginning or a lot of his dumb choices wouldn't happen haha.

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of NiF2 overall! I have intentions to watch it eventually~ but I also had intentions to wathc NiF eventually~ for like three years haha.

Also 'i think i need to be the change i want to see in the AO3 tag.' is the best motto to live by in fandom! <3

I mean...possibly? but yeah, he needs more people he can't fob off and who will Aggressively take care of him.

So far (i'm slightly over halfway through) NiF2 has been really fun and also completely emotionally destroyed me! so that's fun!

I'm just going to rec some works that I looked at in the past two weeks.

  • [art/artist] [twitter.com profile] JHJXW1: New art!!! Their Twitter only has 5 posts so it's easy to navigate. I like how they post a variety of characters. ♥ General Meng, Fei Liu, Nie Feng, and Lie Zhanying, Lin Shu

  • [art] Lang Ya Holic by [archiveofourown.org profile] lunatique: fanart of LYB characters by way of xxxHolic! The drawing style works so well, plus you get pipefox!Zhanying. So cute, so delightful.

  • [art/artist] [archiveofourown.org profile] mekare: Art with traditional mediums! They do a variety of work with different mediums. My favorite one is Morning because it has a simple but really strong concept and execution.

  • [fic] here i will carry, carry you by [archiveofourown.org profile] egelantier: Short but sweet hurt/comfort fic that happens between ep33 and the spring hunt. It's a thoughtful Jingyan POV that gently justifies JY's obliviousness about MCS's identity.

  • [art] Young LS + JY art by [twitter.com profile] mcmeao. I really like their art and I love that they're still drawing LYB in 2021.

    I've been saying I was going to do a Lin Chen related recs post for a while and this finally got me off my butt to do it so here it is! Including 22 fics, 13 fanart, and some misc content.

    :D yay! Also, I knew as soon as I posted it I was going to find a fic that I would immediately want to put on it but because of my mixtape/multicourse meal premise I would have to think of the way to work new fics in.

    ANYWAY, the point is I'm still laughing about funko pop bones, thank you for that.
