Dashi: What? No. Why would you ask? Come on, don't be silly.

Chase: Uh huh... Dashi, what do you call that sweet substance bees make?

Dashi: Uh, honey?

"Yan": Yes sweetie?

Dashi: ...

That’s a very good point! I think that definitely does point to how similar the two are! Wuya is already pretty good at being blithe regarding Dashi, calling him a sharp dresser in the same breath as she calls him a fool. Were Dashi to have more than a few minutes of screentime where he talks and got on the topic of Wuya, I imagine he’d say things about her on a similar wavelength. 

Oh I think he completely did. There’s a reason that when Omi goes back into the past to ask for a new puzzle box, Dashi is apparently doing his best to not be recognized by anyone and is just bumming around sleeping on the ground surrounded by pigs. Wanting desperately for anyone to not know who he is so that he can just rest when not doing what he’s gotta do. He literally even calls it his “cover”. He really badly just wants to be left alone.

He also gets visibly uncomfortable when Omi starts prostrating himself and gets all those people staring at him. Dashi is a trickster and a goofball, the kind of person who usually likes getting attention, but it honestly seems like he just... doesn’t? This is the man who has scrolls and statues and legends all about him and how he created the Shen Gong Wu. And all the dude seems to want to do is chill out and not talk about his great and mighty exploits.

They’ve actually had several evil weddings over the centuries. It’s a fun party to cause chaos with and have some cake while setting things on fire.

Always a ridiculously tall cake with multiple flavored cake layers.

Rather than a ring or anything, Dashi gives Wuya some new magical artifact, dormant or not. Wuya is always swooning over it.

Dashi gazed up into the night sky, full of so many stars that it looked like someone had emptied all of the heavens’ treasures across the darkness overhead. Leaving nothing but a great swathe of glinting beauty against a dark, cool, velvety backdrop. The air had a slight chill to it, with the onset of autumn, but it was offset by the warmth draped across his chest, and the arms curled around his shoulders.

“You’re really missing a great view, Yan,” he breathed.

“Well, I’ve got a pretty great view here,” she replied without hesitation. He let out a short laugh, slightly jostling her where she lay. She traced a fingertip over his chest, the small slit of bare skin between the folds of his shirt.

“Man, I’d probably get such a scolding if the old farts back at the temple knew I was out here like this,” he mused. Wuya chuckled, the sound momentarily silencing the insects all around.

“They probably already know. But who’s going to stop you? They can’t exactly kick out one of the heroes of legend for flirting around.” Dashi smirked. She did have a point.

“... Hey Yan, what’s your favorite constellation?” he asked suddenly. She looked to his face now, raising an eyebrow.

“Now where did that come from?” she asked, playfully mocking. She felt the rise of his shoulders in a shrug.

“I dunno. I guess I don’t think I know a lot about you,” he replied. “I know one food you like, but don’t know if I know your favorite. Don’t know if you really have a favorite animal. Or a favorite-”

He was silenced when she cupped his cheek, and pressed her lips to his. She let his mouth free, only for a second. Just long enough to breathe against his lips.

“You talk too much.”

And then she kissed him again. And all his questions died while he rested his hands in the curve of her waist.

send me a 💌 for my opinion on a ship

I think it’s really a fun ship just for how fascinating it is to ponder how they may have gotten to the point they did. How they fell in love, the kinds of secrets and dramatic tension that had to have gotten stretched out as they got closer and the battle between good and evil grew stronger. And then what kind of spectacular explosion they would’ve caused when it all finally came to a head and all the secrets were revealed.

Their catty exes energy is so strong it can only make me think that they had a big thing before they broke up. Also think Wuya definitely tried to lure him to the dark side before he refused. Lots of drama on Dashi’s side too after the battle of his time was over since he did have to seal his ex girlfriend in a box.

(My slightly joking, slightly serious, and slightly unsafe for work answer below the cut.)

Dashi doesn't even Look mad just before he strikes in that scenario.
