This week's prompt is: our song. This prompt may be interpreted as broadly as possible. It might apply to
Our Song, the singing competition/variety show in which Xiao Zhan took part. It might apply to the song Lan Wangji composes for Wei Wuxian, whether the composition itself or any instance of its appearance in any of the canons. It might apply to performances by any combination of the actors or voice actors involved in the creation of the live action drama, donghua, or audio drama. It might apply to any scene in any canon in which one or more characters play an instrument, sing, or whistle in order to come to the aid of any other character(s) (including those points at which, at least in the drama, Jin Guangyao channels his guqin playing to aid Su She's dizi playing in causing havoc). It might also apply to any moment at which Wei Wuxian uses his dizi to channel resentful cultivation, either directly or through Yin Hu Fu, to control ghosts and/or ghost puppets. There simply needs to be a musical component and the involvement of at least two people, at least one of whom has a tie to a version of the MDZS canon. If it
is only one person with said tie (like in the
Our Song singing competition example), you'll need to find a way to make the "our" applicable for MDZS purposes.
