coincidentally, a few days prior to the boxuan pics madness, i was watching some old uzzu tapes to get to know the cline a lil better. xuanyi struck me not only as a quite chaotic individual (lol) but also as a v affectionate & lovable person. i can see why they were one of the most popular ships back then, they seemed v fond of each other & also xuanyi complimented that "cold, unbothered princess" image that bona was pushing during early wjsn years with her more extroverted bright persona.

what surprises me the most however is that not only jiyeon reached out to her first saying "i miss you" but also that they actually ended up meeting? despite their busy schedules n all. i think they still are very fond of each other and they seem like the kind of friends who will always hold affection for each other even if they haven't talked in a while.

somehow my writer brain translated that into "oh they'd be perfect for a mythological au" like a oneshot about sun goddess xuanyi & moon goddess jiyeon who can never meet, or something along those lines.

i also think it would be interesting to write something canon-compliant about jiyeon learning to navigate her life in wjsn with the sudden absence of xuanyi— how at first she’s certain the cline will come back sooner or later, promises to see each other again slowly beginning to lose meaning, to become less concrete, how jiyeon tries to look for the bond she had with xuanyi in other members but doesn’t quite succeed.

i’m just throwing ideas out there, not making any promises (i have a lot of wips already!) but i think it’s possible i write about them someday following any of those 2 prompts!! 🤍 writing canon-compliant often terrifies me but that 2nd one attracts me a lot especially bc i get to write kjy crying and being vulnerable ™ which i recently found out is my fave genre of kjy to write (sorry)
