Man this fandom is not weird enough about Wen Ning & Wei Wuxian’s relationship

the crown prince who pleased the gods 🗡️🪷✨

post-canon fics where hua cheng gets amnesia'd back into wuming, who inevitably finds out His Beloved Is Married always read like the meme "I'll be his second husband." (what happened to the first?) "Nothing you can prove."

jump to xie lian, who knows exactly what mental contortions the love of his life would go to rather than recognize that xie lian loves him, deciding to humor wuming's murder fantasy for shits and giggles. 'you want to murder my husband, wuming? hm, i dont know... he is nice. except for the time he proposed to me and then immediately walked it back as a joke- oh, you'd treat me better than that? you'd never do something so cruel? well... im listening.'

cue hua cheng getting his memories back like "gege i thought we were over this. gege. gege stop laughing. gege please. i said sorry!"

the amount of time i spent drawing this is embarrassingly long

Do ya'll ever think about how every character in MDZS is living in a radically different genre of story?

Cause yeah, sure Wei Wuxian is living in a danmei fantasy novel with strong romantic comedy elements, but if you slide over a bit Lan Wangji is living a serious and heady drama about regret, loss, yearning, the passage of time, and ultimately atonement.

Scooch on over to Xichen and your in a straight up Greek tragedy, right down to the parable about hubris and trust. Jin Guangyao is living meanwhile in a political dark fantasy al'la Game of Thrones, Nie Huaisang is in a Gothic moody Monte Cristo-esque reflection on revenge and deception, and while Lan Sizhuhi and Jin Ling are living in two VERY different YA fantasy books ('magic boarding school/secret orphan of destiny' and 'Steven Universe style coming of age/discovering all your family are some flavor of evil and magic' respectively).

Everyone connected to Yi City is living inside a dark psychological thriller/horror flick, except for Xue Yang who is in a Found Family/Enemies to Lover fic right up until he isn't.

Jiang Cheng's entire life has been one long soap opera, and it is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.

i love xie lian so much. i love how his cooking is so bad and has made people pass out and also that time he started chucking those horrible meatballs into people's mouth as a weapon. i love that time someone was like "what's wrong with you???" and he was running by and yelled "EVERYTHING'S WRONG! IM SORRY! IM SORRY!" i love that time he was listing mu qing's flaws to his face. i love that time he watched hua cheng turn the blood rain into petals just for him and was like, haha san lang!! these are so pretty! while pei ming was drenched in blood. i love how he was like, "san lang did you think i was going to stab myself?" bc of all of the times he has stabbed himself. i love when he posts boomer memes in the heavenly communication array. i love when he completely forgets shit he said that irrevocably changed the trajectory of someone else's life. i love that he accidentally burned down some of hua cheng's house. i love when he is so so kind but also a huuuuge bitch.

Finally, my piece for the MDZS WIP Big Bang!

I had the absolute pleasure of illustrating With You To Light My Nights by @jingyismom

The story is wangxian but it’s also JUNIORS and I couldn’t resist grabbing the opportunity to draw the boys because I somehow never have before.

Please click for full size and close-up crops or even better go read the fic where this piece is also embedded.

Face Blind Lan Wangji who assumes Mo Xuanyu's face is pretty similar to Wei Wuxians original. He is Extremely Wrong
