We know most of you have been looking forward to this post, so without further ado, here's your chance to share what you love about the rare ships you've nominated and will either request and/or offer! Some of the rare ships in the tagset belong to rare canons. If you're someone who loves trying new canons or is currently on the hunt to become obsessive about something else, this is a great post for you!

You can use the form below to get started. (You don't have to if you don't want to, but we advise trying to make your comment easy to read.)

A few things to consider:

Please try to keep your thirst to one comment.

Please try to limit the number of gifs and videos you post, if you choose to provide some supportive material. (We recommend any more than one gif/video that you can link for anyone with a slower Internet connection.)

Please link and mark anything that is NSFW, especially if you're posting gifs/videos. (We'd also appreciate trigger warnings for the big triggers. If you think it needs a trigger warning, please add it.)

Please remember that this post may contain triggering topics due to canon content that may or may not be warned for, so please view the content at your own discretion.

You can also use this post to ask for canon recs. We recommend advising what you're looking for (a particular medium or a canon that's so many hours long?)—and it wouldn't hurt to mention what kind of ship dynamics/tropes you're into since that's why we're here!

We won't be moderating this page as closely, but we will screen/freeze threads as needed. If you need to get in contact with us, please reply to this comment.

Thanks to yuletide for the inspiration for the form.

Canon: 师兄请按剧本来 | Stick to the Script! (TV)

Ships: Wang Xiaoyu/Xiao Tianyu

Media: Liveaction Mini Drama (40 2-4 minute episodes or one 2.5 hour compilation)

A summary of the canon: Stick to the Script! is a mini drama based on a manhua (which I have not read). It's a transmigration story where a modern music major ends up in the TV show she was watching. She tries to adapt to the cultivation setting, causes havoc with her remote control, and accidentally redeems and falls in love with Tiandao Headquarter's mean fifth disciple. SPOILERS: [ And then she gets sent back to the modern world rip]

It's low budget but is genuinely funny with a few emotional moments. Generally not something that needs to be taken super seriously.

What do you love about this ship/these ships?: I'm gonna be honest, part of the appeal for me is the male lead (Wang Haoxuan, he played Xue Yang in The Untamed). But I think they're really cute together too. He was such a stiff character and then he's like a puppy in love with her by the end. And she was determined to hate him at the beginning but then she's so happy when he confesses to her! SPOILERS: [Honestly I think I would have liked them even without the ending, but the sudden separation in different worlds made me go crazy about the lost future they would have had. They were getting married!!]

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Most of my prompts have to do with the way the show ended...
