Hit me with your fucked-up ships, please. (Or non-fucked-up ones? I might enjoy them in a fucked-up way.)
[fandoms I have opinions in: any MXTX, 2ha, tyk/shl/qy, a league of nobleman, tlt, jwqs, vampire chronicles, machineries of empire…]
I’m so glad this bingo sheet has the square “contrary 2 popular belief this is platonic”, so if anyone asks me about quanyin I am prepared. 😄 #shipBingo
Jin Guangyao/Su Minshan, for @soph_sol #shipBingo
Two for @yesterdaychild:
Wen Kexing/former Ghost Valley Master (I guess you meant the former one and not the person who succeeded him…)
- I thought this bingo sheet had it all but there’s no square for cannibalism 🤷
- this should probably be a NO but instead here we are
Jing Beiyuan/Wu Xi. What’s better than two beautiful weirdos who are meant for each other? Two beautiful weirdos who absolutely *weren’t*, but made it happen anyway.
Yicheng/Jinse from The Long Ballad (the Khan's wives) for @Forestofglory
Gosh, I need to read fic about them. (THE DEVOTION is mostly to the Sui Dynasty, but it extends to Yicheng from Jinse as well!)
@villainousfriend AHH!
Rae there is so little fic for this show! So many characters who are under explored
(Also I love Yicheng so much and I need more content about her specifically. I've even read everything I can find in English about the historical figure the character is based on)
@Forestofglory if you have links or recs, I’d really love to read more about her too!
@villainousfriend It's mostly stuff not even directly about her -- I went done a little Heqin (diplomatic marriages between china and the grasslands) rabbit hole let me see I can pull up a biography
@villainousfriend Ok this going to have to wait until after group watch -- remind me latter?
@villainousfriend Ok I'm looking though my zotero and there only seem to be two things that mention historical yicheng for sure. I thought there were more! one is YIHONG, PAN. “Marriage Alliances and Chinese Princesses in International Politics from Han through T’ang.” and other is the arranged marriage chapter in Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors. I think she might be mentioned in something else but if so I don't remember it well enough to tell you about it
@villainousfriend This might have some more about her? (The extra step of asking a friend to get it seems like a lot when I'm not very sure about the paper) https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/02549948.1990.11731213
@villainousfriend @Forestofglory i can send it to you if you’d like! either by discord or email
would take a look myself but i’m out picking up dinner and then it’s back to paper writing
@Satsuma @villainousfriend Sure, but only if its not too much trouble
Good luck with your paper!
@Satsuma @villainousfriend Discord is good, I think we are already friends there -- but I'm Forestofglory there like I am most places
