happy holidays !
High School!AU Five Generals! :3
IF YOU KNEW ME, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT TOLKIEN (and about JC of course :D) AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. Hence Beren and Luthien AU! XiCheng <3 (Beren!JC and Luthien!Xichen) The Beren and Luthien story is very contexted and may confuse you if you haven’t read the Silmarillion (if you don’t know what that is, it is a very extensive thousand years ago prequel to Lord of the Rings.) But I’ll try to make it very simple and I’ll put in some MDZS too. Jiang Cheng, a young orphaned mortal man, suffered the destruction of the Jiang House. The Dark Lord has persecuted his house for the unwillingness to give up their territory and for their fierce opposition. The Jiang house was sieged and massacred (much like Lotus Pier) and JC was only spared because he was sent away to scout on the Enemy. He came back to a macabre. He was devastated and grief overwhelmed him. His parents and kin dead, WWX missing and JYL still at their grandparent’s territory. He swore revenge upon his mother’s bones and took her ring, Zidian, a powerful ring that controls lightning. Ok, let’s pretend that men, dwarves, and elves are all cultivators. Men, the weakest and Elves, the most powerful.
Zidian was a powerful heirloom made by a renowned Elven craftsman and gifted to a Yu ancestor for saving the elf from an ambush. He spent four years as a solitary outlaw, hellbent on revenge but he became a friend to birds and beasts- yes like a Disney princess, AND! he became a full-blown vegetarian. Slaying orcs, he did not fear death, only captivity, but being bold and desperate, he escaped both death and bonds. His deeds became known throughout the land and there was a price on his head that could match the bounty price of an Elven King. So all in all, he was a top-tiered vigilante, tired as fuck, grumpy as hell, thicc of thighs from all the running, and needs sleep ASAP. He stumbled upon the borders of Gusu (okay, replacing Doriath with Gusu), and went through it because he doesn’t give any flying fucks. The thing with Gusu that it is an enclosed elven kingdom with a very powerful barrier made by Madame Lan (okay, replacing Melian with Madame Lan), a Maia (equivalent to an angel). Qingheng Jun is dead here btw but Madame Lan is staying for her babies, the twin Jades, instead of going back to Valinor (heaven).
So Lan Xichen, the eldest immortal Elven prince, was the most beautiful of all Eru’s (God) children. Half-Elven and Half-Maia, he was very, very, powerful. He could very well kill you with his voice only without lifting a pinky. Ok, to establish, in Tolkien’s World, music is the very essence of power and creating, heck the whole universe is created through an opera gone wrong. So yeah, singing with power could very well kill you or heal you. Anyways, back to JC, the barrier, called “the Girdle of Madame Lan” is very veiled and a really impossible maze. Only at the guide of the Elven sentries or the orders of Madame Lan does the barrier give in. But he surpassed that because he’s so fucking tired and doesn’t really care anymore. And Madame Lan liked him (she can read hearts and the future ok? She’s an angel) and could sense that he was LXC’s fated one. She kept silent of course. So without any grace, he collapsed into his bedroll after finding a clearing and bandaging his wounds. The clearing also happens to be LXC’s favorite. And unlike the book, this AU will be ultra-slow burn friends to lovers, instead of love at first sight. Cos I like it that way?? And JC is blushing because of the sheer elven prettiness and power that radiated off of LXC (yeah keep telling yourself that, JC.) And if one knew of the story, you would have a vague idea of how this will all end. I’ll hopefully add more to this because I ADORE this AU, and yes I already thought all of it. Whoo good job, self :D
Huaisang: also he has a six pack and good fashion sense and doesn't mind being told what to do-
JGY: ooookay I think we're done here
more happy AU

ORV tarot Cards.
THE PROBLEM(S):
-I don’t know how tarot cards work
-I haven’t finished reading ORV
-I have no idea what sort of tarot card goes with which character
-Help.
1. Uncanny Charm: An unhinged sarcastic MC finds himself a medium boyfriend while searching for his lost brother. This manhwa is perfection: interesting and original plot, cute main couple, and both ML and MC have intriguing backstories. But the best thing is the comedy, from the MC's dry humour to the memes quoted. Also ML is hot in a subtle way. I don't know if it's the earring or the blue hair but it works.
2. The Scent of You (completed): I love this bl cause I feel represented by the ML being a nerd with childhood trauma. I'm joking (not really) but ML is a cutie and MC is one of the funniest main characters I've ever read thanks to him being completely unapologetic. It starts with the main couple being more of a funny duo than anything but it ends with them being the loveliest couple.
3. The Boy Who Stole From the Fairy Lake 1° season (completed): MC is my pfp for a reason; he's a cutie who just wants to run away from his psychotic brother. Not much to say about this one just that I love the dynamic between the chaotic MC and the ML being done but also in love with him. I just put the first season cause in the second one the main couple changed and I couldn't really get into them.
4. I Ship My Rival x Me (Ongoing): In this manhua both MC and ML are chaotically dumb in the best way possible. Even though there are so many misunderstandings to keep the story going it's not a bother cause you just want to see MC and ML flirt their way out of everything.
I love this fanfic too much
