Guardian fandom friending meme!!!

[china_shop]

Our lovely fandom continues to grow beyond our wildest expectations! Comm membership has just hit 100 98 (and we got impatient)! *shameless champagne and ballooooons*

A few small notes and reminders:

1. The Welcome/Intro post and the Fannish Resources post are still alive and kicking. Feel free to drop in at any time and say hi, or give us all your resource links (even the ones that might seem really obvious)!


2. Lurking is also totally fine, of course! *waves to lurkers*


3. Please tag your posts to the comm so other users can easily find what they’re looking for. In particular, it would be great if you could use the canon: drama and/or canon: novel tags, since it’s not always obvious to us mods which should apply, including for fanart or vids that use drama visuals but draw on novel elements. This is our current list of tags, and we’ll add more type tags as the need arises.


4. You can find the full (updated) comm rules on the profile page.


5. Feel free to promote sid_guardian on your journal or elsewhere. (Here's a graphic and text.)

And now, without further ado...

Since some of us are new to Dreamwidth, and some of us are new to Guardian, it seems like a good time for a Dreamwidth friending meme. Come and meet new people! (Re)Populate your DW circle!

It needs to be something? I can't stop staring at it and I need it to be something, but idk what. Gah! XD

[mekare]

Reincarnation AU?

[firestar]

oooooh.

[trobadora]

Shen Wei reincarnates as the Time Engraver? And then finds Zhao Yunlan again by popping him into his lab?

I NEED THIS OMG. (Also, art for this. Just saying. :p)

[firestar]

Going for both of us at the same time, I see. *staaaares*

Ohhh, maybe he yoinks Yunlan out the lantern? Or something? >.>

[trobadora]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[firestar]

And Yunlan would be very confused. XD Is this, or is this not, Shen Wei. Does reincarnation count as one of them winning the bet? This isn't Ye Zun trying to mindfuck him, is it?

*shakes fist at*

[mekare]

I have zero knowledge of the time engraver show. What is the plot?

[firestar]

I don't think it's actually a show, I think it's an advert? So there's not a whole lot of it to work with. Which makes me sad because I would watch the fuck out of that show.

[trobadora]

Here is the link! It's a L'Oreal commercial, of all things.

[firestar]

Ty! I haven't seen the whole thing, just gifs. I can't believe it's a fucking l'oreal advert, holy shit. Of all things. O_O

[mecurtin]

Holy Spumoni, I figured it was a TV show! damn.

[trobadora]

Right?

Commercials. The things this fandom does to us!

[goodgriefcharlie]

OMG, thank you for sharing, that is the best thing I've seen this morning!

...someone's definitely going to write an AU with TimeEngraver!SW pining horribly for mortal!ZYL, right?

[trobadora]

Or ZYL remembering being at the Time Engraver's lab, and trying to find him again ...

Or both. Both is good. :D

[firestar]

...why would you do this to me? D:

[trobadora]

And then they find each other again, and ~handwaves~ HAPPY ENDING!

Because of course. :D

[firestar]

You've got me wondering how he ends up in the Time-Engraver's lab now, darn it. *sulks* Hallows fuckery? Or something else completely in a world where Dixing's not a thing? Gah, idk. :(

[trobadora]

I was thinking of it as a fantasy AU where Dixing isn't a thing, yeah. So Shen Wei is the Time Engraver, instead of the Black-Cloaked Envoy. And ZYL is still an ordinary human.

[firestar]

Hm, okay. So, something like ZYL and the SID still investigate the weird crimes ordinary police can't, only it's magic instead of Dixing. And someone/something is sucking the life out of people kind of like Wang Yike, only not her because that girl deserves better, and ZYL stumbles across SW's lab while he's trying to solve the case. And for some reason I'm feeling like SW is something along the lines of Discworld's ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATIONS with general time manipulation powers as opposed to erasing wrinkles omg l'oreal.

(Also, maybe he has Li Qian for an assistant? Or something? >.>)

[trobadora]

Yes! ZYL should definitely still be an investigator/detective of some kind. I'm really loving this idea.

And for some reason I'm feeling like SW is something along the lines of Discworld's ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATIONS with general time manipulation powers as opposed to erasing wrinkles omg l'oreal.

LOL! I mean, he is in essence an anthropomorphic personification of time itself in the commercial? Putting wrinkles on people and all. (Until L'Oreal thwarts him, or something.) But yeah, the whole judgmental "O NOES WRINKLES!!!!!!" thing absolutely needs to go. Ugh, L'Oreal.

Also, YES on including Li Qian as his assistant!

[firestar]

And yet here in the UK L'Oreal's running ads - at least in the papers - about how they're ~promoting self-worth instead of self-doubt~ and my eyes almost rolled out my head when I saw that, I swear.

Hm, maybe Li Qian has Quicksilver-esque powers? So, similar to SW but different enough.

[trobadora]

It's not a show, it's a fucking L'Oreal commercial. The things this fandom does to us, seriously ...

[lynndyre]

*dies* Oh my god Zhu Yilong how dare your face.

[trobadora]

I KNOW, RIGHT?????????
