Does your account accept gifts? Yes
Medium Likes: art, gifset, picspam, fanmix, music, podfic, fic, icons
Medium DNWs: -
General Likes:
I generally like all sorts of soft and happy things. That includes found family and domestic bliss as well as horny intimacy and kink. If it comes from a place of affection and joy in each other, I'll probably love it! (For an idea of the kind of kinks I'm into, the tags on my explicit works might be helpful.) Angst is obviously welcome, given the fandom, but it should have a hopeful ending at least.
I can't think of a trope or AU I wouldn't enjoy, really.
All this goes for both fic and art, and by art I mean anything visual you can create. Manips, graphics, digital drawings, pencil sketches, silly little doodles, serious little doodles, collages, what have you!

General Wishes:
I love making fanmixes, and I wish more people were into them. If you wanted to make me a fanmix, I'd be so delighted! Or just tell me a song that gives you fannish ideas, and I'll add it to my collection. \o/
If you felt inspired to make some kind of transformative work for one of my fanworks, that would make me very happy. Fanart for a quiet domestic moment in the Higher Education series, a mood board for Luo Fusheng and Han Chen, podfic for one of the RPF works, fic set before or after Better Days... Anything, really! Those are just some random ideas.

Ideas:
Fandom: Granting you a Dreamlike Life
I love Luo Fusheng with all my heart, and I wish he could have gotten a happier ending. You might have to plop him into an AU for that, because I'm not quite sure how you would salvage that ending, but if you can! By all means!
I think Tianying would have been good for him, but I'll also take any number of Bai Yu characters to give him a home. I'm partial to Han Chen after having been convinced of the ship by a dear friend, so I'd generally love to see more Hansheng in the world to make her happy too! He could also transmigrate to Dragon City and move in with Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan, I would have no problems with that.
Other things I would like (links welcome if they already exist!):
Fandom: Zhu Yilong & Bai Yu
I spent the early months of this year in hyperfocus mode, collecting and organizing all the high-res Z1L images I could find on Weibo and Twitter, cataloging his photoshoots and award show appearances and magazine spreads by year, etc. etc. Some photos remain unidentified, and I wonder if there's earlier stuff I might be missing.
I'd also love some more icons of Zhu Yilong, Bai Yu, or both of them together! Both as their characters and themselves, everything is welcome. To go with the general theme of this wishlist, happy moments would be great, but it can also just be Z1L looking soft or Bai Yu doing a little smolder. Extra happiness points for Wang Yang somewhere in there. <3 (Non-binding offerings: 1, 2, 3, 4)

- If you have any high-res images from his very early days (and maybe even context for them), I'd love to add them to my collection! I have a few shoots from 2015 and 2016, and his appearance at the 2017 GRT Awards, which I think was his earliest? (Baby dragon!)

Context for the February 2021 Yunnan photoshoot
I actually have a few? I'm surprised, myself! :D
First, and easiest:
That was from the February 2021 trip to Yunnan, where Bazaar did a feature on him (and also Geox used shots from there, and WWF?). There are also videos of the trip on wenella's channel, e.g. this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ8PmCdpCHE
Here are all the pics I have of him from that:
Download them here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/7q0kTS0
Re: Context for the February 2021 Yunnan photoshoot
I actually have quite a few pics from that Bazaar shoot, but not all of them, apparently. :-D And I definitely didn't realize the mom jeans ensemble was part of that outing! Mystery solved! Also made me wonder if (my shameful obsession) Meng Yinan was somehow part of the same trip because he also took pics of Z1L in Yunnan? (That post says 2022, but I wanna say the pics are from 2021.) Clearly, I will never know peace. :-D
Re: Context for the February 2021 Yunnan photoshoot
Oh, thanks for the Meng Yinan link. Those pics are from 2021, too, but they're from a (different?) WWF-related hiking trip and were posted much later than the 2021 Yunnan pics (October 2021, not February). I think they were two different things, but both in 2021. I only have different pics of him but it's obviously on the same hike (same scenery, same outfit).
Clearly, I will never know peace. :-D
Clearly we will both never know peace. :D But at least we'll have beautiful pics to look at. ;)
Re: Context for the February 2021 Yunnan photoshoot
Context for the Youku VIP card ad
That "boxing" shoot was for an ad for a youku membership card from 2018. There were several different aspects of it, but everyone loved the sweaty boxing outfit the most. :D
Here's the full ad:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SiVZaR2srk (wenella, of course)
There's also a bts video for it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSxOeAtTyJM
I don't have any more than you have, it looks like. Most of the pics (including gifs) I have are from the bts. Here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/gxPpTZL

Re: Context for the Youku VIP card ad
...oh my god, it's a "POV: this beautiful man is your boyfriend" ad, I can never watch those without pausing every two seconds to cringe. 😅 (three minutes later) Well, that was certainly an experience. 😄 He's come a long way since then!
Thank you for the links and the additional pics!!!

Hee. But I still love him as the cute bf, ngl. :D

Re: Fandom: Zhu Yilong
This is both a great help for sorting my pics (oh, Weibo Movie Night! yes!) and a wonderful collection of interviews. 🥰 Thank you, thank you, I really appreciate it!
Re: Fandom: Zhu Yilong
have him describe Bai Yu as "he looks a bit dorky from the appearance, but he's quite exquisite in the heart,"
That quote! 😍
Here are some early pictures I have (without context, sorry!):
I believe wenella posted this on Twitter and said it was one of his first appearances in a magazine, and it was a business magazine or something?
Re: Fandom: Zhu Yilong
eta: wth omg, I thought he was crawling in the first one, not propping himself up on his legs. I must have been half-asleep when I first saw it this morning. :DDDD
Re: Fandom: Zhu Yilong
Every time I look at that picture I have SO many questions. XD

Early Zhu Yilong picspam
But to be honest, I don't know the context of most of these, either, I'm really just going by babyface and hair length in this collection. :)
Full size images can be downloaded from the gallery here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/fk5Hxqh
I know you probably already have the camel shoot ones, here are all of mine:
Men's Uno photoshoot that looks like they all belong together:
Cute white sweater photoshoot:
I know you already have pics from this shoot, maybe you don't have some of these yet:
I have no idea where these all are from:
This one looks like it was taken during the filming of Yang and his Summer (judging from haircut and -color)
He looks extremely young in this one
Could this be a He Kaixin haircut?
Lots of spiky hair in these:
This looks like a drama cap, I just don't know which drama
This is another drama still, and I know he's someone called "Ke Ze" in this one
That's it! I hope you like these and didn't have all of them yet. <3
Re: Early Zhu Yilong picspam
The one with the red hair (Yang and his Summer) is from when he was in Vienna! I don't recall right now if they were somewhere in Europe for shooting and like, went to Vienna, or if there was some other reason, but there's several touristy pics of him there, and I love them. I also love the Chic Banana shoots with the spiky hair and everything! Thank you for including them, they're perfect baby Long-ge!
Thank youuuuu for all my gifts, that was so lovely of you! 🥰
Re: Early Zhu Yilong picspam
I knew you'd have lots of these already, but how to know if not by including them all? :D
I'm sorry I don't have them as well organized as you do, and have opened up more questions than I've answered. Oops. :)

Re: Early Zhu Yilong picspam
The "extremely young" one: Judging by his hair and narrow-ness, I think it's a bts from "The Nursery" movie. It was released in 2016, but my suspicion is that it was filmed earlier than that because he looks so young in it and his acting, um, well, he did his best.
The last drama still of Ke Ze: The drama is "Rhapsody of a Summer Dream," which has never been released. I think it was filmed in 2016 or 2017.
Here is another pic (which I think I got from you,
Re: Early Zhu Yilong picspam
Here is another pic (which I think I got from you, tinny!)
I have 4300 pics of him at this point, and it's possible I may have forgotten about this one, but it does not ring a bell at all. I don't think I have this picture of him yet? O_O
(I adore the way he angles his feet. So young, so shy.)
Re: Early Zhu Yilong picspam
Same here. I'm still not very organized, either. :( If I got the pic from someone else on DW, thanks, not!tinny! XD Otherwise it came from Twitter or Discord...
I adore the way he angles his feet.
I do, too. And in his enormous white sneakers! <3

“You actually made a spreadsheet.” Zhao Yunlan’s voice drips with entirely undeserved disbelief. He’s the one who started all this, after all – Shen Wei is just taking it to its logical, scientific conclusion. After all, what’s the use in gathering data if you don’t then represent it in forms that are more easily analysable?
“And a map of your body’s erogenous zones,” Shen Wei says. “Strictly speaking, it is a heatmap, since I used different colours to represent your response levels, but there’s no correlation to temperature – ”
“Aside from how hot you made me,” Zhao Yunlan breaks in, waggling his eyebrows outrageously.
Shen Wei adjusts his glasses. “Yes, well. That was the object of the study.”
Zhao Yunlan grins, legs falling open wider. “Care to study this object a little more?”
“While more data is usually desirable, unless we recreate the original extremely small pilot study exactly, we’d just be introducing noise to the – ”
“Oh, I can definitely introduce noise all right,” Zhao Yunlan purrs around a grin, “but while I’m not opposed to recreating our previous attempt, right now I’ve got something a little more... rapid in mind. It doesn’t do to just perform one experiment on a given subject after all, does it?”
Shen Wei blinks, ignoring the heat rippling down his skin at Zhao Yunlan’s blatant display. “In-depth research requires different approaches,” he confirms. “What did you have in mind?”
Zhao Yunlan’s grin widens.

I’m in need of a savior, but I’m not asking for favors. My whole life I’ve felt like a burden. I think too much, and I hate it. I’m so used to being in the wrong. I’m tired of caring. Loving never gave me a home, so I’ll sit here in the silence. I found peace in your violence. Can’t show me there’s no point in trying. I’m at one, and I’ve been silent for too long.

This is our sanctuary; we can find shelter and peace. This is our sanctuary; you are, you are safe with me. This is our sanctuary; we can find shelter and peace. This is our sanctuary; you are, you are safe with me.

Take me back, back to the mountainside, under the northern lights, chasing the stars. Take me back, back to the mountainside, when we were full of life, back to the start.

We could be ghosts, baby don’t worry. Oh, I’ll take you home, let me just close your eyes. I can’t go back, back to the nights, back to the nights when we felt so alive. Blood rush, you were my drug. I fell in love, and it killed me.

I see in your eyes a reflection of hurt. The book in your mind hasn’t come to an end. There’s always a page that hasn’t been read. You could have been so great. I won’t let you slip away. Is there any hope for us left? Even a ghost needs a friend. You could have been someone, but you let them into your head. I want you to know this instead: that I see a light in your chest. Your heart, it beats, forever, forever, we see. I will believe.

The night sky once ruled my imagination, now I turn the dials with careful calculation. After a while, I thought I’d never find you; I convinced myself that I would never find you. When suddenly I saw you. At first, I thought you were a constellation. I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation. You’re as beautiful as endless. You’re the universe I’m helpless in. And suddenly I see you. Suddenly I see you. I was a billion little pieces, till you pulled me into focus. Astronomy in reverse; it was me who was discovered.

Baby. 🥺
I'll be back with more thoughts, but really, I'm so touched you felt inspired to do this! Super excited to give this a listen!
Re: Fanmix for Mumble
From my own experience, I always have a pretty clear narrative in my head once I have all the songs in order, like what the lyrics are about and what story they tell together, but then it's anyone's guess what the listeners get out of it. So I hope I'm not super off, but here's what I'm hearing:
The main POV is Shen Wei, with the first song being the baby Envoy falling in love with Kunlun. Incidentally, I was only familiar with the first two songs and the last one, and I love Silence for Shen Wei! "I've been silent for too long" and now he can finally talk to someone! (I also had some thoughts about "I found peace in your violence", but I spare you the ramble. 😅)
Then Sanctuary is Zhao Yunlan's POV, and it's both powerful and kind of soft ("you are safe with me") and it made me happy about the little bit of happiness they got to experience together in YOHE.
Then dirt nap break! Both the instrumentals were so lovely, and I'll definitely be checking out the artists for my own mixes. 👀
The next several songs, to me, are about Shen Wei meeting Zhao Yunlan in this strange world he woke up to, being so drawn to him, unable to deal with him in any rational manner. Vowing to himself to stick with him until everything makes sense (Find My Way Back) and they can be in love again, like they were before.
Missing London and Ghost complement each other: Shen Wei doing so! much! pining! ("I fell in love, and it killed me", oh no 😢) and Zhao Yunlan (after having uncovered the Hei Pao Shi secret?) responding to Shen Wei's obvious loneliness with some tenderness of his own. Offering friendship! ❤️💔 I adore the "I see the light in your chest" line. It made me think of this art.
And then! Reunion in the sparkly time void! Shen Wei waiting for Zhao Yunlan with his heart in his throat! Telling him his final secret! Finally they're on the same page! I loved the happiness and hopefulness and beauty of the last three songs. Venus is such a good song for them.
Feel free to tell me if your own narrative was different! I adored your selection of songs, in any case. Thank you very much for making this for me. 🥰
