walks out of a bar covered in kisses and I say "you should see the other guy" and you look in the bar and he's dead in a pool of blood

Based on this post and @piosplayhouse 's tag

its bingbing babey !!!!!!

Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers

i think it is important to recognize the ways in which your favorite thing sucks. i think it keeps u normal

3tums for that ship meme

Probably the last post for the week since this whole ordeal of falling back into TGCF hell made me lose a dangerous amount of sleep 😆

work in progress

Brony Jiang Cheng

I think he'd be one of those "earlier gens sucked and are ugly because they were for girls 🤢" idiots but if he watched g3 he'd love princess wysteria

He found out abt the show through Jin Ling who was hate watching it because of 4chan, but jl ended up getting unironically into it (I think his favorite character would be Spitfire but I'm open to other ideas too). Jiang Cheng walked in on him watching it and called it gross and weird and jl blew up at him and went and cried in his room for the rest of the night. Jc felt so guilty that he ended up setting up a little movie night for them to apologize without apologizing bc he's awkward like that and he also got hooked watching it.

When wwx found out he drew jc a ponysona as a joke to make fun of him and jc got mad in the moment but he still kept it and takes it out to look at it and imagine himself as a pony every so often

Lwj is also a brony but he's a chill early gen collector so naturally he and jc have crazy beef about it. While lwj loves the hair play of early gen toys (so soft ponies/flockies are his fave) JC thinks they're too girly and instead has like. Funko pops like a freak.

Shi Qingxuan had a pair of blinged out designer cat ears and a slinky dress because they're a really supportive friend but didn't totally follow Xie Lian's explanation that a furry convention was slightly different from a themed costume party.

You're 1000000% correct and please forgive me for springboarding off of this to peddle some hyperspecific bad furry au headcanons:

Sqx: as you said, doesn't really understand what a furry is or what they do. Despite that, has a toyhouse account with thousands of followers on it that her brother made for her. He only has one oc on it, which is an extremely expensive Dainty that his brother bought for him. Otherwise uses the site forums like a social media platform, but doesn't know how to navigate any other part of it (this is understandable if you're familiar with toyhouse). Somehow gained tons of friends and followers anyway, including

hx: her sona is an eel. He lurks the forums exclusively to report drama to hua cheng, who faithfully mass reports and harasses any user who talks badly about disgraced furry xie lian. She's a partial fursuiter (only has the head and paws (fins?)) because even though she made her own suit, hua cheng gave her the stipend to get the materials and he only allotted enough for a bare minimum partial. Yes, he has fucked sqx while wearing his fursuit, and she was really into it.

hua cheng: full fursuiter with 2 suits (San Lang and Hua Cheng) as stated before. He also has custom tailored robes to fit over his suits because he's dapper like that. Obsessively monitors every furry site across the internet to take down anyone spreading rumors about xie lian by using his thousands of sock puppet accounts. Spends more time in his suits than out of them, doesn't even show xie lian his real face until they meet again at Ghost City Furcon together. Full time simp, part time artist/fursuit maker/con owner. Xie Lian talked him down from a suicide attempt after seeing him make a concerning post on a forum, and hua cheng has been gone ever since. Had a bad phase in high school where he exclusively drew xie lian's sona, including one particularly embarrassing self insert NSFW piece of him.

xie lian: full fursuiter BUT regularly takes off his suit head in public for any reason (note: for furries this is considered really weird and somewhat taboo). I've already talked about him quite a bit so I'll keep it brief, but he was blacklisted from the All Furries Go to Heaven Furcon twice despite being a very involved volunteer in the early days of the con. Despite this, somehow in the year 20XX an unknowing green volunteer finds his old artist alley application shoved in a drawer somewhere and calls him up to attend the con again for the first time in decades.

Feng xin and mu qing: THEY DONT HAVE THE SAME FURSUIT OK! Just because they accidentally commissioned the same maker and their suits are like color swapped versions of each other doesn't mean they wanted to match at all in fact mq's sona is a cat and fx's is a dog but the maker they hired makes their dog and cat suits look pretty much the same so that's how it turned out that way and

tgcf au where xie lian buys the 9/11 warrior cat adopt not knowign that it's based on 9/11 and that the artist (blank_wolfxXiang he's known for his edgy hyperealistic guro wolf emo art ) is a huge POS so he gets cancelled and kicked out of all his RP groups (secretly cancellation was orchestrated by one of bwx's alt accounts, junwoof) but hua cheng, xie lian's singular DeviantArt subscriber and patreon member (before it got mass reported by bwx), comes to his defense because xie lian saved him when he got bullied on amino for having a half demon half fallen angel red black wolf oc with red and black eyes and heterophobia

Late night fengqing dump

“cultivator in white/cultivator in black” this and “orphans on a morality spectrum” that - you know the real sexiest narrative foils in The Untamed?

Jiang Cheng, constantly defined by/acting according to his desperate need to live up to societal standards, as well as by his older brother and the death thereof; makes a loud and furious show of his own power and authority at all times but is actually in control of maybe…half a scene, once, when he corners Wei Wuxian with Fairy, and then Jin Ling of all people takes it from him

VS

Nie Huaisang, constantly defined by/acting according to an absolute apathy toward what’s socially expected of him, as well as by his older brother and the death thereof; makes a loud show of his own helplessness and uncertainty at all times but is actually in quiet, deft control of every scene he’s in for present-day events
