How did you first get into Guardian fandom? I think I'd seen people on my network and flist squeeing about it, and then mekare started drawing fanart for the show. One of them happened to be bb!Shen Wei, and I was just like...OOOOH WHO IS THIS? ♥___♥ I checked out the Pilot and was SOLD. (that was sometime last year January, I think)
What is one thing you love about the show? In a general sense, I really love how it hits so many fannish tropes. It just reads to me like a fanfic brought to life. So hard to choose one particualr thing I love about the show. Zhao Yunlan sprawling on every available surface. The ever present lollipop. Shen Wei's intensity. Their CHEMISTRY. The SLEEVE GARTERS. ZLY's legs in those jeans. *g* The SID set design. Found family. EVIL TWIN. Time travel. Soulmates.
What is your favourite terrible special effect? Ahaha. All of them? <3 Awww, they did their best.
What is (one of) your favourite relationship(s) on the show (either romantic or friendship) and what do you like about that relationship? I love Da Qing and Zhao Yunlan taking care of each other. I love how affectionate and physically comfortable they are with one another, how they have each other's backs. There is an ease and effortlessness to their bond that's really endearing.
Do you have a favourite character? YES INDEED. LOL. I have a *type*. And it is always the serious, competent one (that usually plays off of the wild, chaotic one. *g*). ♥SHEN WEI♥ :b
Do you have a favourite villain? Um...probably Ze Yun? Honestly, I don't usually find myself attracted to villains on a show (maybe it's my inability to relate to their behaviour? idk), unless it's where there's potential for some sort of enemies-to-lovers dynamic going on. And in this case, my attention revolves around shipping the two heroes, so the villains all become part of the background to me. :X Anyway, Ye Zun is at least the Prettiest one, and Zhu Yilong plays him so well. ^___^
Talk to us about one (or more!) of your favourite Guardian-related canons: Er...I haven't really watched any as yet, except for an episode or two of Detective L. But! I have seen lovely screencaps of both Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong in long hair and period costumes looking all tragic and beautiful, and read fic, which was intriguing. And hot. I look forward to more of these. *g*
Do you like RPF? *stares into camera* YES, I DO INDEED. Recs welcome, always! :D
Do you have a favourite ad campaign (such as Bai Yu's rentboy photoshoot or Zhu Yilong's ReFa ads)? Um. Ahahah. Zhu Yilong's harp/dildo thing has broken us all.
What other fandoms are you in or have you been in? The Untamed has taken over my life. I'm also a fan of HIStory3: Trapped and Nirvana in Fire. I still enjoy other older fandoms like MCU, DC comics, Teen Wolf, Merlin (BBC), Doctor Who, SGA, Harry Potter. My first fandom was Smallville. I am still sentimental about all things Clark/Lex.
What are some of your general fanwork likes: I love humour and banter, magical AUs, shenanigans. H/C. Pining. Protective mode. Angst with happy ending. I love mash-ups and crossovers. So creative!
Where can we best find you to squee more about this thing or other things? Here on DW at goss, and on AO3 at goss. But mostly right here. :D
Anything else you want to say? I am not much of a talker when it comes to articulating why I love my fandoms, but I LOVE just being amongst fannish people. I get bouts of shyness and can go into lurker mode sometimes, but I am basking and rolling around in all you guys' fannish enthusiasm. *throws sparkles at you* <333333
