also they called dage after A-Yuan's bed time. That's why he's not there for this, and not at all because I forgot him.

when writing the Lans, my rule is that they can't lie, but it's ok if they omit some things.

And in this case, Lan Wangji just doesn't want to deal with his brother's breakup, especially when he doesn't see why that breakup is needed in the first place.

Medka meeting the Magpie King for the first time (although the Magpie King has met him before, in eerily similar circumstances)

little sneak peak of a thing I'm (slowly) working on

I will try to do this in full colour. And I will almost certainly regret that decision :D

ohhh if requests are welcome (and if I understood it right) maybe some scene of noodleverse meng yao and nie huaisang when they were still dating?👉👈 of course if that isn't a big spoiler or going to be in a whole flashback-

nhs and MY are in their late teens, either end of highschool or about to start university (but no later than that: nhs got depressed and started gaining weight in university, due to his father's death+struggling to study)

It is very important to me to note that MY didn't start scheming and aiming to separate the Nie bros. He really was infatuated with nhs! But realising that nmj was the perfect source of energy just... changed the game.

nmj actually likes wwx and jc (... more jc than wwx, probably), but nhs and nmj's love language is arguing (or at least it was before nhs started spiralling downward)

guess this blog needs a pinned post at this point

Hi, I'm Jau! This is my art blog (my main is @ibijau )

I draw fanart and original characters. At the moment most of the fanart is for mxtx novels (with an emphasis on Grandmaster of demonic cultivation), but other things might pop up.

I don't take commissions, but requests are welcome. I'm also always happy to chat about my OCs, if anyone has questions about them.

It's okay da-ge, at least you have a good lifelong friend on your side.

Well, lifeLONG might not be the best word, but you know what I mean :)

Some secondary characters from Medka and Actalus. From left to right, top to bottom: Medka's future sister-in-law, Medka's brother, the future emperor Prince, the current emperor Prince

more under cut~

Urbania Helva: Urbania, in her 30s, is the geat-grand-daughter of the last Prince of the previous dynasty. She is the last survivor of her family, after everyone else either died naturally, was murdered, or was executed for treason. Although her family had lost a lot of prestige toward the end of its rule, it is still fondly remembered by common people. For that reason, Urbania has been engaged to many ambition young men, including the current Prince's grandson and heir who frequently humiliated her before his early death. She had been in love with Medka's brother since they were teenager, and he returns the feeling.

Bolad: Bolad, in his 30s, is Medka's half brother. He was sent to Camundis as a hostage when he was around 15, and quickly realised he was unlikely to ever see his home again. He has since then done his best to become a perfect Camundi, and has even applied for citizenship, although by the point Medka re-enters Bolad's life, that application is in limbo. Because he has been cut off from his people for so long, he sometimes takes Medka's attempts to act according to their culture as a personal attack. He's not always wrong about that, as Medka struggles to understand why Bolad chose to completely join their enemies. Aside from his looks, Bolad had turned himself into the ideal citizen, he has powerful friends including the Prince's half brother, although due to circumstances when they were younger, they're not as close as they used to be. He is in love with Urbania and the hope of marrying her is one reason he applied for citizenship.

Vitilius Vatinus: Vitilius, in his late 20s, is the half brother of the current Prince. Due to a serious illness when he was young, he has a weak constitution and is nearly blind. For a long time this kept him out of the succession line, but since there are no more other male heir in the family, his half-brother now has to consider him as an option. Vitilius is clever and good tempered, but more ambitious than he lets on, and willing to do whatever it takes to rule. He helps Medka multiple times, partly out of affection for Bolad to whom he feels he owes a debt, partly because he hopes to use Medka as a tool to position himself as the best candidate as next ruler of Camundis. He may or may not have made a deal with the Magpie King to get rid of his recently deceased grand-nephew who was heir to the throne.

Posthumus Vatinus: Posthumus, in his late 60s, is the current Prince of Camundis, sole rule of the known civilised world. He is a dutiful man who brought the Principate to an unprecedented size and prosperity, and his main worry is now to ensure this accomplishment survives him. When Medka meets him, Posthumus has recently lost his grandson, his only direct male heir, and he takes Medka as a guest as a distraction from that loss. Posthumus is usually a fair man, but he has some resentment toward his much younger half-brother Vitilius, as he feels that their father's very late second marriage was in bad taste and exposed their family to ridicule. Even though Vitilius has already proven that he is competent and dutiful, Posthumus would rather look for another option for an heir.

Keiros, goddess of healing (and if you know who to ask, protector of trans people)

She is one of few gods one good terms with the Magpie King, mostly because they both had their life ruined by the same god (in her case, he forced her to become an "official" goddess)

Keiros is one of the very first gods who ever came to be (she doesn't think she's the first one, but there's no way for her to know for sure). That first generation of immortals, on the whole, didn't chose to be worshiped as gods. Some changed their mind on that as younger immortals asserted themselves as gods, but Keiros always found it morally wrong and preferred to travel anonymously and help around.

By the time of Medka's story, she's technically still worshiped but has virtually abandoned all her temple, although few mortals are aware of it. Her temple remain renowned for the medical knowledge of her priests.

Next time I decide to do a fight scene between animals, however brief and disjointed, I hope someone stops me.

Also, at five pages, I think this is the longest episode of noodleverse (and I hope it stays that way!)

also also, I legit couldn't remember how I drew the Lans for this comic after so long without them appearing, I had to go check old pages for reference. But they're back now!

And final also, I won't be posting those next two weeks because I'll be on vacation (unless I figure out how to program post on tumblr...)

playing around with nuclear material is 100% the modern equivalent to necromancy in terms of bad decision, change my mind
