Welcome to SID Guardian!

Hi, and welcome to SID Guardian!

sid_guardian is a noticeboard/community for:

• linking Guardian fanworks of all kinds


• linking to Guardian-related news (incl. info about the actors and their other roles) and meta (incl. serious meta, squee, picspams, episode reactions, writing-meta)


• making Guardian recs, and


• making fanworks-finder/rec-finder posts.


• ETA: You can also post content directly to the comm.

Which is to say, it's for letting Guardian fans find each other on Dreamwidth. :)

Please link your Guardian-related posts here! Whether novel or drama, this is the place for it. Don't be shy, and please encourage other Guardian posters to link as well. You can also link to/rec things that have been posted by others.

As the comm develops, we hope to introduce social, discussion and/or prompt posts, but given it's December, we thought we'd start small and manageable.

To kick things off, if you feel like it, tell us a bit about how you ended up in Guardian fandom! Or let us know your favourite character or scene from Guardian, or what your power would be if you were Dixingren.

And remember, there's no tension that can’t be relieved with a lollipop. And if there is, try two lollipops.

Um, hi!
I’m new to Guardian (and kind of to being/posting online in general). I came to Guardian in a semi-roundabout way from The Untamed. Sort of (found The Untamed back in April 2020 from a fmv that an artist I follow shared, then, after several months of a ton of listening to The Untamed OST and emvs, found Guardian in October/November from youtube’s suggestion of the mv for We Won’t Be Falling). I kind of fell in love with the soundtrack first, and then found and fell for the drama. Still working my way – extremely slowly – through the novel.
I only very recently started writing fanfic. I mostly do/did original works until early 2020 when a perfect storm of things led to my brain pretty much shutting down. Guardian's managed to help my brain start to piece itself back together (somewhat) and I’m slowly getting back into writing. Very tentatively venturing out into the largely unknown world of fandom(s).
Favorite scene – extremely tough question with multiple answers. I love the interactions between Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan (and the rest of the SID family), but scenes I love to listen to repeatedly: episode 9, the flashback of Shen Wei realizing he may have exposed his cover; episode 24, when Zhao Yunlan is stuck in the video game in the hospital; episode 38, the scene where Shen Wei says “You’re right. My energy is black. My eyes, my hair, even my soul is black. But the blood I bleed is red. Just like theirs” (cannot express my love for that line enough) and the scene where Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan, and Guo Changcheng are fleeing the palace (even if those last two always make me cry). Also, in general, love episodes 1-2, 8-11, and 13-14.

[also, a tendency to babble/ramble, so sorry about that]

Hi, welcome on board! So glad you found Guardian fandom. Make yourself at home! :)

I know, right? So many of the scenes are my favourite when I think about them! These are all great ones.

Yay, welcome! *waves some more*

Hee! That's a great way to do it. I haven't listened to much of the soundtrack on its own -- just the opening credits and end credits songs. Do you listen to the incidental music too?

So glad to hear Guardian is helping with your writing. That's awesome! :-)

Yes! Highly recommend the soundtrack. The track for Shen Wei (and a couple others) has become the music I fall asleep to most nights. I'm considering trying to figure some of them out on the piano.

It's definitely been nice (although a certain oc is having way too much fun with the 'hurt' in hurt/comfort :) )

Oh cool! I really should get my hands on that. I tend to prefer music with words, most of the time, but I imagine its familiarity and associations will help me appreciate it. :-)
