The glow of light The brightness of the lantern Let Huli Jing guide you

A "second part" of the previous post, in which I showed the lantern I had created in 3D. This is a photo of the lantern I crafted out of paper and LED candle light, and then I drew the Huli Jing (more well known as Kitsune to the general public) on it. The lantern's red-yellow glow symbolizes wisdom, luck, prosperity, and wealth in many Asian cultures, while the Huli Jing's warm glow complements the overall cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

Accidental Arranged Marriage AU (v1)

After a reveal gone... weird, the Fentons believe Danny is dead and haunting them and is in denial when he claims to be half alive. They mourn him, and maybe even blame themselves and their research for causing him to become a ghost rather than dying properly.

But he is still their son, and they can't bear to hurt him, so they instead turn to superstitions and traditions from other cultures to try to get him to "move on" or "appease his restless spirit" or "put him at rest."

(Danny is actually eating better than ever now that his parents are regularly leaving out offerings of food at his altar.)

Eventually they come across the ancient Chinese practice of ghost marriage and decide to give it a shot. Maybe Dann-o can't move on because he died single, right? According to their research, ghosts would sometimes appear in their family's dream to tell them which other deceased person they want to marry, so Jack and Maddie hold a seance to consult their dead son.

(you could've just asked, y'know. You don't have to light candles and incense every time you try to talk to me.)

Danny, by this point is exasperated by his parents' failed and increasingly ridiculous attempts, decides to play along and says he wants to marry the Dead Robin.

He didn't expect this to be the time his parents' hairbrained plans actually sorta works.

Anyway, now Danny has to find the poor ghost he accidentally married so that they can get a ghost divorce. Well, guess his parents are getting rid of him after all, because looks like he's going to Gotham.

Now if only the Bats would stop looking at him so weird whenever he says he needs find the dead Robin so that they can annul their marriage.

"Red Hood, what did you do!?!"

"Fuck off! I swear I've never met this guy in my life!"

What I love about Mitsuri’s fighting style is how she reminds me of a Ribbon Dancer so I drew her as one!

Here is my full illustration for @svsssbigbang for the fanfiction Night at Cang Qiong Museum by @adventure-waffles! An incredible Night at the Museum x Scum Villain AU! Don't hesitate to also check out the other two artists incredible pieces for this fanfiction: dustmeadowx and qiye!

And since I know that tumblr tends to destroy the quality of my illustrations, here are some close-ups under the cut:

Old Chinese houses are an inexhaustible creative space in terms of wooden interiors. To me, something alike is associated with childhood memories of a countryside house in Zhejiang.

I could put this on my JTTW blog but since this is only for the background I will post this here 😊 ✨ Happy New Year 2025 everyone! ✨

Since there's quite a lot of interest in Chinese-inspired cyberpunk and adjacent aesthetics, just wanted to share these neat "Chinese style meets the Matrix"-esque looks from popular brand 大青龙肆/Da Qing Long Si. There's also an English website here.

Generally the colour of the flowers and the yunjian are chosen based on the faculty colour. Most Chinese universities use the following colours:

White - Medicine

Yellow - Engineering

Grey - Sciences

Red - Military

Pink - Humanities (including arts, literature, philosophies, education, management, economy etc.)

Green - Agriculture

I continue to love the variance Oda uses in his various ship designs. The Kuja ship even has some sort of paddle system in the back, which makes sense since Amazon Lily is in the Calm Belt
