guardian, now with ye zun feels!

warning, I don't do meta, just feels.

I rewatched the last eps, and now I'm about to rewatch them AGAIN with [personal profile] syriala (aka Bee), who is excited and worried and full of feels and I can't help but be full of feels with her. We're watching 33-40 tomorrow if we can.

this icon, the text is coming from The Boy With the Thorn In His Side, because I have Ye Zun feels that haven't been properly expressed yet.


Like, okay I'm coming straight from Teen Wolf fandom, where I have spent years deciphering Peter Hale and writing him as sympathetic and loveable despite his murder spree and (arguably) temporary insanity and let me tell you that Ye Zun has given me all those same feels and turned them up to TEN THOUSAND.

Peter spent 6 years in a catatonic state while aware of his surroundings sorta and in pain, healing cell by cell from a horrible fire, while he plotted and planned how to be safe and also to get revenge for the killers of his pack. He was bugfuck insane when he came out of it, and...

Ye Zun, imprisoned for TEN THOUSAND YEARS. Aware. Minimal contact with others, certainly no skin contact since he had no skin and was trapped in a pillar. God, when I think of how touched starved he would be...

Ahem.

Cruel and unusual punishment. Apparently the Hallows don't care about cruelty. They are very alien. My disjointed thoughts but

YE ZUN! BABY! Taken and abused at a young age and brainwashed to believe his only familial connection left in the world abandoned him. MY TEARS, I TELL YOU. God, but he was treated so badly and of course he's going to lash out - and that's how his power awakes? and he's free but is he really? and then he's NOT.

Okay this is all very random but my feeeeels.

I can't wait for Bee to join me in this angst because I know her well.

God, the ending is such a TRAGEDY. Ye Zun's story is just as much a tragedy as Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan's. I have this need to bundle them up together and send them for therapy (they ALL need therapy) and healing and hugs. But also darkfic because that's how I roll. I've been writing Steter for years and now here I have Ye Zun to play with and he is a GIFT.

Don't get me wrong, I love Weilan and the angst and utter LOVE AND DEVOTION there is delicious. Just. Delicious. But ughhhhhhhh ten thousand year old tragic baby brother, it is giving me LIFE.

I wrote a ship manifesto for Steter (Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski) once and one of my main points was that broken people deserve love too. And they don't have to be *deserving* or do anything special to get love, because us broken people have been through shit and that's enough. And that's how I feel about Ye Zun except he just makes me cry and laugh and I love himmmmm...

Ugh but how touch starved is Shen Wei, for reals? I mean, I know I'm jumping tracks here but I feel for Shen Wei being who he is, this untouchable powerful being who no one really cares about on a personal level until Zhao Yunlan and god now I need fic with touch starved Shen Wei.

*cries*

I need him to still be empillared

Oh, no, this makes me so pre-emptively sad!

I'm totally going to see if I can work with that. If that's okay with you.

Oh, that's not original to me, I think it was [personal profile] mecurtin who came up with it first, and then a lot of us have just been...adding to it (might be [personal profile] winter_blossom who came up with the containment due to power). Really, the part that's mine is the reasoning as to why Shen Wei and all of Dixing would come to believe Ye Zun deserved being stuck in a pillar for 10K+ years.

I am happy to make you an icon of dubious quality

Yay! Really, I have no ideas, except I love his long white hair, and maybe a time when he's looking a little more uncertain/frightened/sad, as opposed to just, you know, genocidal (though I do love that look, too).
