How did you first get into Guardian fandom? I had people on my Tumblr dash who were watching it as it aired the summer of 2018, and were having a lot of feelings about it, so I got intrigued. The first gif I can remember seeing was the scene in #38 with Shen Wei throwing himself in front of Zhao Yunlan. This piqued my interest as h/c and self-sacrifice are absolutely my cup of tea. Then I came across a gif set of the taxi scene in #8 and the tenderness and longing in it had me absolutely undone.
What is one thing you love about the show? Everything about the relationship between Shen Wen and Zhao Yunlan, from the absolutely tangible chemistry between Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu and all their acting choices to the way the story handles the identity porn and lets them become each other's most beloved, most important person.
What is your favourite terrible special effect? Okay see if you ask that question you're going to get an actual answer. You may regret it because by "favorite" I mean "the one that always makes me scream". Here. I apologize:
What is (one of) your favourite relationships on the show (either romantic or friendship) and what do you like about that relationship? Obviously I adore the relationship between Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan. I'm also very fond of Zhao Yunlan & Da Qing being best friends who are also a human and a cat.
Do you have a favourite character? Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan
Do you have a favourite villain? Ye Zun
Talk to us about one (or more!) of your favourite Guardian-related canons: I really like gifsets and clips from many of Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu's other shows. Especially when they play characters with long hair and wuxia/historical outfits. :D
Do you like RPF? I have been taken in by the RPF fandom for Guardian - tiny but full of awesome creators and lots and lots of happy fanning.
Do you have a favourite ad campaign (such as Bai Yu's rentboy photoshoot or Zhu Yilong's ReFa ads)? Oh no these examples are both coming for me! Here is where I first came across Bai Yu's Tiffany shoot, and having fic for it is a dream come true. ♥ Aside from that, I also adore this mechanic photo shoot he did for his Weibo profile pic. My favorite Zhu Yilong ad campaign is probably the Lenovo one.
What other fandoms are you in or have you been in? I've been in fandom since the days of mailing lists and Geocities, but I'm strongly monofannish. The three most recent fandoms I had before Guardian were Gintama, Nirvana in Fire and Dragon Age.
What are some of your general fanwork likes: Guardian has really blown my likes wide open. I'm a gen fan at heart, but I OTP wildly for Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. I have a weakness for h/c, angst with a happy ending, mutual pining.
Where can we best find you to squee more about this thing or other things? I usually post to Dreamwidth several times a week, and read it every day. I chatter a lot on Twitter as unnaye - Tumblr (for-the-flail) I mostly use to reblog fanart and post any gif sets I make.
Anything else you want to say? This fandom has been the best thing ever. ♥ Honestly, I have learned so much here, and met so many awesome people. It's been a gift.
