My friends and I made an album inspired by the Iron Widow books by Xiran Jay Zhao and here is the song I wrote for it! It's called "Venom" and is meant to be sort of like an anime opening for the book. Ft vocals by my amazing friend Victoria Carbol! Empress of Nightmares by the Bookish Songs Collective is streaming everywhere now~

OUR FIRST EVENT IS HERE!

It's my honor and joy to announce our first Iron Widow Event! And nothing better than a Reread so we can once more be in @xiranjayzhao's world and, of course, be ready to Heavenly Tyrant release!

During the event, challenges and games will be released weekly. It's your choice to just read with us, or participate in the challenges. The main discussions will take place every Saturday on our discord server. If you're not already there, you're more than welcome to join us (this is a link, click here)!

Below I will give you our official reading schedule and the first challenge of the week! (And let's all thank @fren-wyrm for these marvellous designs!!) Any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments!

Are you ready to be their nightmares?

One more for @xiranjayzhao's Iron Widow, because when I read the descriptions of Yizhi's tattoos I knew I had to draw it. (I think there were other flowers mentioned, but my copy is back home so I couldn't look it up). I am rather happy with this turned out. :)

Zetian: You can’t, he’s too powerful and protected.

Yizhi: …

Yizhi: WHAT ABOUT HIS FAMILY

Shimin: How do you two just eat when there’s a dead body laying there?

Yizhi, sharing a confused look with Zetian: What? Is that rude?

Zetian: Am I supposed to share?

[machinel1ke]

Shimin: I could fix her Yizhi and Zheng: And I could accept her as she is! You don't like the murder? Grow up. The atrocities are a part of her. And I've decided that they're funny.

@xiranjayzhao is this accurate

Yizhi: Did you say spider? Zetian, I brought a paper towel.

Shimin: Yizhi, are you making Zetian kill a bug for you again?

Yizhi: I'm not making her. We just have our roles. I bring a paper towel... and Zetian does everything else.

Zetian: He doesn't like to get his hands dirty. Like a mob boss.

Zetian: Hey, wanna help me commit a felony?

Yizhi: What the hell?

Zetian: Oh, sorry.

Zetian, whispering: Hey, wanna help me commit a felony?

Yizhi, also whispering: Of course, what do you need?

Oh, so when Wu Zetian and Gao Yizhi murder the billionaires who are in charge of everything it's "catharsis" and "taking back the means of production", but when I, John Gaius
