i feel like i've been working on this playlist forever. capturing their dynamic is always a piece of work because of how absolutely convoluted it is. sure, shang qinghua is mobei-jun's servant, but at the same time he created the man. he's practically a god of creation in mobei-jun realm (completely on accident). he is both completely independ and completely codependent of the man. he was the only thing in his story that was just for qinghua and qinghua alone, never made to appeal to his readers. he's got commitment issues. mobei-jun has abandonment issues. it's a playlist about miscommunication and obsession. i tried to get a mix of songs that include both the turmoil and dedication of these two, though at the end of the day most of them are not angst tracks because i simply could not continuously provide that for them. also there's a lot of cavetown and taylor swift on here, whatever that says about them. i probably would have made this playlist way longer but decided to make myself quite while i was ahead. listen here

sunny? haven’t you already made a shi qingxuan playlist? i hear your confusion, and you see, i sure have, but unfortunately i saw a picture of manhua ming yi today and lost my whole mind. you expect me to see a picture of qingxuan holding him up the hand hovering right over the titty and be normal? absolutely not. this started as a joke this afternoon and now it’s twenty songs long with a graphic so i don’t think it can be considered a joke anymore. anyway, the vibes are mostly on post black-water arc, so my biggest joys were adding an avril lavingne song, because lord knows none of the energy or lyrics i was going for were making me happy. i don’t know what to elaborate on usually i use this paragraph to kinda ramble about the character and how i picked vibes for the playlist but i don’t know how to do that without getting into everything which would take forever. this is just based off of situational vibes, and i really did consider making yet anothr playlist for a happier sense of things, but i’ll hold myself back. honestly this playlist could have just been the “i am in misery,” part of the maroon 5 song for 10 hours and it would get my emotions across just as well.  listen here.

A YIN YU PLAYLIST

interlude: i’m not angry anymore - paramore | the winner takes it all - abba | all things end - hozier | come down slow - dreamers | motion sickness - phoebe bridgers | jealousy, jealousy - olivia rodrigo | message man - twenty one pilots | rough - vial | try better next time - placebo | please, please, please, let me get what i want - the smiths | arms tonight - mother mother | better than me - the brobecks | i am terrified of heights - breakup shoes | yung and writhing - rew | this life i have - the wrecks | i’m not okay (i promise) - my chemical romance | i need to be alone. - girl in red | this is my trying - taylor swift

half of this playlist is just me projecting the vibe of thinking you’re a gifted and talented kid until you get far enough along to realize you are horribly average, and i think that translates relatively well to yin yu, even if his circumstances are obviously different. then you just have to mix in some really bitter anger and you’ve got this guy right here. he’s someone who feels like his circumstances have been horribly unfair but at the same time mostly blames himself for the proceedings, and does not know how to let himself feel or express his emotions in a decent way so they just churn around and make him feel guilty. he’s found a way to live his life that works but it’s not like it’s one he’s particularly satisfied and he just kinda goes along with it because what else is there to do? i don’t think yin yu is the type to listen to music much himself, especially if it’s something that would hit close to home. he does not have the emotional energy for that, so if he does want some background noise it’s probably going to be instrumental honestly. listen here.
