The Great Guardian Kink Poll

[mekare]

It's been that kind of week (also I partly blame the Iguana festival). I spent a happy commute thinking of all these options and how Shen Wei would react to the concept of kink. My main headcanon is that anything that requires trust, or expresses their mutual besottedness could be a kink for these guys.

The answer options I've chosen are not in any way exhaustive, just what first came to my mind. I do think some kinks are more likely for them than others (e.g. I can't believe that Shen Wei would enjoy any sort of pain, he's too stoic about it). It was a lot easier to come up with kink ideas for Yunlan *g*.

In the novel I believe Yunlan has a kink for BB Shen Wei's long hair? People with novel knowledge - I'd love to hear how the novel deals with kinks!

I can see that there's sort of a consensus that Yunlan is sexually self-aware and has done a fair bit of experimenting, and he has quite a few kinks and enjoys them.

The real trick, for him, is finding out what Shen Wei's kinks are, when Shen Wei doesn't know himself. And when Shen Wei will go along with almost anything Yunlan suggests.

The one kink I can see Shen Wei having that might be new to Yunlan is somnophilia. Specifically, that SW wants to fuck ZYL while the latter is asleep.

And SW's biggest unspeakable desire is for praise, the way "Kun Lun" did in the past: not just saying he's beautiful, but also saying he's the best person, the most noble and selfless of character.

I wouldn’t call 7 people a consensus (yet) but I suspect that’s where the majority will end up.

And when Shen Wei will go along with almost anything Yunlan suggests.

You know, while I was drawing up the poll, the same thing occurred to me, shen wei probably has a problem with boundaries reagrding Yunlan (he only ever shows them when it’s about Yunlan's safety). There is a lot of potential for masked consent issues and misunderstandings there if they went the kinky route.

I totally agree that praise would be his shameful secret desire which would take Yunlan a LOT of time and effort to suss out.
