Introduction/Friending Meme
Hello and welcome to Ghost Valley!
This is a community for everyone who loves Word of Honor, Tian Ya Ke, and related topics (actor RPF, Qi Ye, etc.), and we're excited to get to know everyone who's found their way here!
(Basic comm rules can be found here.)
Please introduce yourself so that we can learn a little about our fellow fans! Share how you learned about this fandom, a favorite scene or character (and maybe a bit about why you like them?), which adaptation(s) you know, or any other fun facts you have about your relationship with Tian Ya Ke or Word of Honor. :)
If you make any fanworks—gifsets, meta, twitfic, fanart, more formal fanfic—feel free to mention what you make and where you post it. This can be part of your introduction, or you can simply post directly to the comm about your work! Promo yourself! There's so much content out there, and it's great to get to know the creators behind all the splendid work. :)
And optionally, if you'd like to expand your Dreamwidth circle and have more WOH/TYK people on your reading list, here's a basic friending meme – just copy the template and paste it into your comment:

I really adore both Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu, and their mutual darkness and ruthlessnes and capacity for violence that contrasts so beautifully with how gentle and kind they can also both be. ♥ ♥ ♥
Two favourite scenes from the drama: the one in episode 10 where Wen Kexing kills Bai Wuchang (see my icon). And the fight with Ye Baiyi and its aftermath in episode 27.
My favourite scene from the novel is the one where they almost have sex the first time - where ZZS tells WKX he can't tell if he's serious because "I have not experienced many instances of sincerity over the course of my life, and cannot identify it." ♥ ♥ ♥
I hope to write fic eventually, but I haven't yet. These things take time to percolate for me.

<333 we have had multiple conversations about this and I am still like !!! every time it comes up again. Somehow, despite everything they've gone through, they're still kind! They still look at the world and find things to love, and they still care even when they might rather not!

(I have nothing to add, just more YES THIS!)

And the fight with Ye Baiyi and its aftermath in episode 27.
All the YBY interactions are just...! But yeah, this was so expected. So unexpected!
no subject
It's SO good. And YBY just ... he's so much fun. :D
no subject
(Yes, that's what I'm saying now.)
YBY is too old for everyone's bullshit.

Aaaaah that scene slayed me for the same reason as you, that line is lethal. The way they alternate between ruthlessness and tenderness - and how sometimes the tenderness is part of the ruthlessness, just... ♥ ♥ ♥

The show muddies this up a bit, what with making WKX ZZS's shidi, but I think in the end both canons convergence - they are peers, there's no obligation between them, or debt, and it's just a whole different space in which to explore their ability to care and accept care and I am feral for it.
no subject
Yes! And I think the shidi thing actually ends up supporting this in its own way? Because WKX is ZZS's shidi from way back when they were little children, unlike the many shidi who died when he was actually in charge of the sect. So it takes him back to a time without that imbalance.

And yes, there's definitely a comfort in not having failed Wen Kexing (tho if you think about it too long it's more about just... not having been the one to fail Wen Kexing). They're peers of the same generation, which outside each other is something they don't have (have never really had, in WKX's case; I think there's a bit more nuance in ZZS's), and that changes the tone of their relationship a lot compared to all the other ones they have, even if they never really got to develop that bond when they were children. It's just so good. The not having experienced sincerity line kills me every time.
no subject
Ha, yeah, this. And totally agreed, it's so beautiful. ♥
