everybody hears the story that they wanna

Summary:

r/UnTamed

Why is the ship “WangXian” so popular in the (Un)Tamed fandom? I don’t get it.

↳ [video]
↳ when did they cast the untamed members in a bl drama??
↳ I fear that’s just how they act on an everyday basis

↳ Maybe because Wei Wuxian himself has been photoshopping wedding photos of Lan Wangji in a white dress and posting them on his story

↳ it’s not that i want to ship them. it’s that their actions and words haunt me at night and never allow me to forget how obsessed they are with each other.

↳ Antis may dismiss it as fanservice, but if they were really committed to their fans they would have made out on camera by now

OR: wangxian are idols in a kpop-style boy group, and no one knows if they’re coworkers, best friends, lovers, or a secret fourth thing

Notes:

.....hiiii! bet u didn't think i'd be back here one (1) day after posting a new WIP with yet another WIP but i can't let any of us get too comfortable! i have been deep in the kpop trenches for the last five years and finally i've decided it's time to write an mdzs fic about kpop <333 i have no idea if this will be a two-shot or a million chapters; it could go in any direction really but it will be entirely epistolary! and it will primarily focus on the mdzs characters, though just for fun i've built out this universe by making tgcf and svsss their own entertainment companies (it's just set dressing for this fic, though maybe i'll write a tgcf fic in this universe at some point)

while not actually set in korea, this au will draw heavily upon the infrastructure of the kpop idol industry, where young wannabe artists are often trainees at a particular entertainment company before getting selected for a particular girl group or boy group. there will prob be a few korean terms that i use throughout bc they're just so quintessential kpop, such as "maknae" referring to the youngest member of a group or "aegyo" referring to acting cute. we'll see how this all unfolds! i may refer to "cpop" in the fic itself but the irl cpop industry is different from the kpop industry so i'm not referencing actual cpop...u get it

i will do my best to try to make things make sense if you are not familiar with kpop, but as always you're welcome to ask me any questions you may have <3 this chapter is just a little intro to start with! a kpop-inspired story simply wouldn't feel right without me including the equivalent of kprofiles for all the idols, complete with their blood types and mbti

i made up all those things in the profiles with the help of the voices in my head and random reddit users, but if someone out there feels really strongly about a particular character's mbti or animal emoji or position or something, you're more than welcome to make your pitch to me in the comments <3 i am just doing whatever the hell <3 however i won't take any pitches on changing the group or fandom names because they're all hysterically funny to me so i have to do what sparks joy

this fic is my love letter to kpop and i am very excited to make use of some of the most unhinged kpop memes <3 also i have been picturing jin guangshan as JYP in translucent plastic pants (iykyk) and it's a horrifying mental image. and doesn't everyone think it's fun that i made wwx the universal donor blood type and jc the universal recipient???

oh! the title is a lyric from they don't know 'bout us by bts <3 ok i swear i'm done yapping for now! farewell!
