Fanart Alert!

“Have you read of Potema Septim? Scholars describe her as unambiguously evil; she killed people she didn’t like, subjects who disobeyed her, anyone who was against her, she was elated to trade the soul of her every living citizen for a little comfort. And this woman—was my father’s kin; and of… of my own blood.”

“Careful, Ysmir,” Miraak warns her, a little breathless, mouth slightly parted and lashes half-drawn in a haze. If someone could make love to his hands alone, that would be Jia now—this is how that sacred sensuality feels like. “You wrong your lips a great deal. The hands you name beautiful and kiss with such reverence are soaked in unspeakable amounts of blood.”

Chapter 22 of 🐉The Priest and the Dragoness🐉

OKAY, ALRIGHT. My most talented and wonderful friend @tesshere was inspired by my latest fic update and drew these UTTERLY MAGNIFICENT pieces of Jia, my Last Dragonborn and last heir to the Septim line! In the first one, we can see two versions of her, the one with a flower crown in her wild hair, simple and happy and free, and the other with the Empire's crown on her head, her neat hair and clothes, but with her eyes crying while wearing it. While a dragon is naturally inclined to dominance and rule, my Jia is very afraid of the legacy she carries on her back...

In the second one... Well, I think the excerpt is very self-explanatory, isn't it? 😼 Jia soothes Miraak's pain by tenderly and reverently kissing his hands, and as my friend Senu put it, "Miraak is well. Let's just say. horn".

Zhao Tao through the years in Jia Zhangke's Caught by the Tides (2024)

i don't have the screenshots on hand because this is just a thought i needed to let out after being woken up by my buildings fire alarm at 7am (i am in shambles, thanks for asking) but back at the start of canto 7 i was trying to figure out what in the Fuck hong lu meant by don quixote being 'the most lucid' of the sinners and eventually my read was that she's the one who's most clear on what she wants because hong lu brought up how her eyes are sparkling and the two times dante notes someone's eyes sparkling in that episode (?) were when don talks about saving all the people in la manchaland and when charon says she wants to eat candy at an amusement park, and also this would very nicely mirror the bit in the final sancho fight when dante ruminates about how so far they've been trying to help the sinners out of their issues by figuring out what they want and then promising it to them but with sancho she doesn't want anything because everything she's wanted as don quixote was part of that dream that she's now woken up from (especially with dulcinae talking at length about the difference between sancho and don's eyes)

but like..... there's one other thing about eyes that dante notices in that early episode

so i'm wondering if this is an idea that's gonna come back in canto 8, that dante's old tricks aren't going to work here either because hong lu just doesn't really want anything for himself when he's been living his whole life surrendering (hah) himself to being used by other people for their own goals

Not Canto VII beating it into our heads how immortality and power is inherently miserable without the other fixings that would lead a mortal life to joy as soon as Jia Xichun brings up how the Elders are searching for the cure to mortality

So I found this on Weibo and I couldn't stop laughing. This is incredibly niche but I feel the need to share and explain this to my friends on this side.

So the bottom half is the photos that we initially thought were the royal suitor photos before the movie came out, then realized it was in the texting montage, then confirmed by Matthew that this actually isn't Alex and Henry, it was Taylor and Nick chilling between takes.

NOW, the photo on top is a still from 1987 TV show adaptation of one of the four Chinese Classics: "The Dream of the Red Chamber". That is the main couple reading another classical Chinese novel (yes this is very meta) "Romance of the Western Chamber" together, and I think this book that they're reading is the first romance novel/love story to have the couple be in starkly different social standings yet be together in the end.

This isn't a case of parallel in the same sense as my posts putting firstprince and Rapunzel x Eugene or Simba x Nala or Jack x Rose together and finding similarities. In fact, the couple from Red Chamber is nothing like firstprince or Taylor and Nick, not even remotely close, and their relationship ended in tragedy: spoilers, the girl died of a broken heart and the boy lost the will to live and became a monk.

But the point here is that this pair? This is our culture's Romeo and Juliet, our Pyramus and Thisbe. This scene in particular, this imagery of them reading in the garden together, has the same significance as the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. Like, if you ask a Chinese person for an imagery from classical literature that depicts love, this is the image most people will say.

AND SOMEHOW THIS PHOTO OF TAYLOR AND NICK THAT WE ALL THOUGHT WAS ALEX AND HENRY LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT

This is the most random connection and it's definitely a stretch but as someone who cried over the ship in the top half at the age of 11 I am so fucking amused by this comparison

[marigoldwriter]

I mean, if Jia is mute, I can add a deaf character to my fic without any problems, right? It's a genuine question because maybe it's very inconvenient for some, even though the fanfic is mine (incredible, isn't it?

I've been thinking about Stephen King’s quote from It:

“Your hair is winter fire. January embers. My heart burns there, too.”

Seriously, I can’t get it out of my head, I murmur it again and again—it’s so achingly beautiful, and it feels so Miraak to Jia vibes. Not just because her hair is red, but especially January embers. Jia carries a winter within her, despite her connection to summer. She’s a FUSION of fire and ice AND AH—
