[ID: Dongfang Qingcang: This is great. I’m going to get a good grade in brotherly affection, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,]

Love between fairy and devil was easily the best historical drama I watched this year. Everything from the dialogue to the score, down to their costumes was amazing! Dylan Wang truly wowed me with his performance (I am now a Dylan defender I fear). The beauty I found in their romance actually left me dazed for weeks after it’s completion. I’m still not over it cause here I am talking about them. Dylan really carried like who knew underneath that terrible hair in meteor garden, was an Emmy deserving actor!!!

Happy New Year! The CLJ prompt meme is open and ready for business. It's finally time to submit your prompts and get creating!

A LITTLE FAQ

Q: What is a prompt meme?

A prompt meme is a challenge where fans can submit one or more fanwork prompts that creators can choose to fill.

Have an idea for a fic/art you’d love to see executed by someone from the fandom? Now is your chance to submit your ideas to the prompt meme!

Q: How long is this running?

Basically... forever! I believe AO3 requires an "end date" to make collections like this searchable, but it won't actually be closed until I close it manually. I will keep it open indefinitely... so in theory you could fill a prompt 10 years from now if you wanted!

Q: How many prompts can I submit?

The max amount AO3 allows per user is 50, so that's what I will set the challenge to allow as well.

Q: Are my prompts anonymous?

Prompts are anonymous by default, but you can choose to de-anon them.

Q: Do I need an AO3 account to submit prompts?

You need an AO3 account to submit prompts. Please contact the mod if you don’t have an AO3 account and we can work something out.

Q: How many prompts can I claim?

As many as you would like!

Q: Are claims anonymous?

Claims are not anonymous.

Q: Can multiple people fill the same prompt?

By all means! The more, the merrier.

Q: What if I can’t fill a prompt I claimed?

Don’t worry about it! This is a casual event, so if you can’t complete something, it’s fine to drop the claim.

Q: I’m not an artist/fic writer, can I still post a prompt?

Yes!

Q: I’m an artist. Can I claim prompts?

You sure can! Prompts are not limited to fic writers. All art is accepted, from illustration to gifsets to videos, and more! If you have an AO3 account, you can claim and post prompt fills to your heart’s content.

Q: What kind of prompts are accepted?

Any ideas featuring CLJ/LBFAD characters and canon are accepted! It can feature any pairing, setting, or concept. Prompts can be set in alternate universes or the canon universe.

Prompts can be NSFW (not safe for work) or SFW (safe for work). Fills can be NSFW or SFW. Please indicate in your prompt if you have a preference for the rating of the work.

Q: Is dead dove content accepted?

Dead dove content is accepted, for both prompts and fills, but make sure it’s appropriately tagged and warned (“Choose Not to Give Warnings” is an acceptable warning).

Q: Are crossovers accepted?

Crossover prompts are accepted, but the focus of the prompt should be the characters from CLJ/LBFAD.

Q: How do I submit a prompt?

Hit “join” on the collection. Then, hit “sign up” to submit prompts.

In the text box of the prompt submission, please summarize the idea you would like to see represented in the fanwork. You can be as detailed or vague as you like. In this same text box, please also indicate if there is anything you would not want to see when your prompt is filled with a list of DNWs (do not wants). Please be specific with your DNWs.

You can also select additional tags, warnings, and ratings, that the claimant could use when filling the prompt.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send this tumblr an ask! I can't wait to see what you all do 🥰

For WIP Wednesday I wanted to babble some on how I imagine all the realms in the Love Between Fairy and Devil minibang (@lbfad-minibang) fic I'm working on. Btw posting for that starts on DECEMBER 8TH AHHHHH. For the three realms of the far future, I have a few inspirations. Lots of text under the read more lol.

I've mentioned Mad Max for Cangyan Sea, but I do want to be clear that Cangyan Sea is not a post-apocalyptic setting. They have grown and adapted into a desert culture over time. Though they aren't as populous as they once were, they're not in danger nor are they struggling for resources. There is water and food readily available, and they do trade with Shuiyuntian and Haishi City.

There is a lot of vehicle use, mostly adapted from what's found in the mortal realm. However, vehicles are powered by cultivation as opposed to fuel.

Clothing is layers, not much skin showing, as is consistent with desert cultures, but combined with some of the signatures we know of in Moon Tribe culture.

For Shuiyuntian, I decided to lean into the fact that it seems to be, despite the forest we do see, mostly surrounded by and above water. Thus, they are a water based culture now. My inspiration for them was the 2013 anime, Suisei no Gargantia. In this story, in the far future the Earth has become a water planet, and cities are made up of giant floating barges. These massive barges contain whole cities, with their own economies, agriculture, currency, etc. They do have some land to utilize (unlike Gargantia), but it is limited.

Much like Cangyan Sea, the aesthetic is a bit more rustic, but neither kingdom is in dire straits.

The climate is warm and subtropical, so clothing tends to be thin and breathable without many layers. Sandals, shorter sleeves, etc. Again, combined with some of the signature aesthetics we know exist in fairy culture.

In both cases the lush, elaborate lifestyles you may have seen in the past aren't really a thing any longer, but in general, the populations are healthy.

Items are used longer, clothes get more worn before being replaced, and in general, there isn't as much extravagance.

Cultivation does many of the same things electricity does in the mortal realm (light, fuel, etc.)

The modern mortal realm matches up to our own as as far as technology and equivalent time period goes. The main difference is that I wanted to imagine a China that had been free of the impact of imperialism. It just felt kind of fucked up to have this fantasy version of China, but still have it go through all the same nonsense our own world has gone through.

There is some western influence in architecture, clothes, and technology, but what is there is due to legitimate cultural exchange over time. Architecture is a mix of traditional builds, sometimes using more modern materials like glass and steel, and styles that originated outside the country. Clothes are all over the place. The train platform that's one of the first places they end up at is described as featuring people in 'Lucheng garments that look somewhat familiar', people in t-shirts and pants/jackets and slacks/etc., and people in a mishmash (XLH ends up in what is essentially a hanfu top and a pair of capris).

Because this is a fanfic, and they don't spend THAT much time in the mortal realm anyway, I won't be delving much into how this affected politics, law, and social norms, but you are free to imagine the differences.

(A thing to note is that unlike modern China, men have hair lengths of all types, from long like DFQC's own to cropped short, and it's considered normal.)

There is NO cultivation. Humans lost the ability to cultivate around the same time DFQC and XLH were sealed away forever ago. Magic and immortals exist only in folktales.

The one place that remains essentially the same is Xilan. There is limited use of it by both Shuiyuntian and Cangyan Sea, but old tradition and legend dictates that it mostly be left alone.

Haishi City has become a go between for the two kingdoms (which it sort of already is in canon). As a city that falls between what has become a large sea and an expansive desert, it is foggy and warm. There's little to say about the ecosystem outside the weather, as it's pretty much buildings top to bottom with little to no 'natural' spaces. I imagine it being super populated and set up on 'levels' like the city of Chongqing. I'm not sure if we'll ever make it there in the fic, but that's how it exists in my mind.

can you stop reposting gifs without credit please

Hey Nonnie, which one? Please point it out!

ETA: Barking up the wrong tree here Nonnie!

I received this today and was contemplating of whether to answer it or not. I thought, feck it, why not?!

I have been making GIF's and learning as I go along and I am still such a beginner but I was really proud of my latest post of LBFAD. I think it's my best yet (of those that I posted). The quality is still sub par compared to the ones made by GIF making gods here in tumblr but I was really happy with them especially because I am not techy.

here they are (my lastest 2 tumblr GIF posts) in one of my folders. For example, the one enclosed in red, the file size was too large so I had to lower the resolution so I could lower the file size hence there are 2 there. ETA: On my Despairing GIF post, for the subtitle/dialogue, I used DidactGothic font with font size 15, in white with no borders, and 100% opacity!

I removed the file names here because quite frankly, it's none of your business!

I tagged them as #cdramaedit, I thought that was enough. I was going to put #myedit but I thought it was hubris to put one on mine since the quality is not the greatest but I will now!... when I remember! I also wanted to put my mark on them but I did not like the fonts available so I didn't, but I will now!... when I remember!

Here's one example that I made today from LLTG, this is one of the favourite GIF's that I made. There's my mark on it now just so you know that I made it! MINE!

It is a series of 4 that I made back in late August - very early September. I have only used 2 of them in my posts. I use these as basis depending on what I need and edit - crop, add text, sharpen, adjust hues, brightness, contrast, saturation, etc... I have 46 GIF's in my LLTG Gif folder alone!

ETA: I was really happy with making GIF's and I can see my progress from really crappy gifs to the latest ones which I am very happy with. I have been teaching myself, exploring, and learning more, at my leisure, and enjoyed the journey so far. It's very relaxing. But now, I'm annoyed!

Since joining tumblr, I started making GIF's. I started with GIPHY and quite frankly they were crap! It was grainy, low resolution, but I still made them and posted some of them. The ones shown below are all made by me. I even attempted to put my mark on some of them. My GIF's might be crap, but they are my GIF's!

Afterwards I started using Kapwing which made my GIF’s slightly better but they changed their format (whatever you call it, I don't know!) so I looked for other ones. I started using another app especially in trimming videos (it doesn't compromise the resolution!) so I can make GIF's from them. I also found a better video downloader app which made a big difference for me. Another thing is that I found a new to me app that makes better GIF's in comparison to what I was using before.

Honestly, the one that I can think of is a post I made of The Untamed back in the last days of December 2021. Although, it's a GIF from tumblr showing who the original poster is and when it is clicked on, it opens a link to the original post. It also notifies the original poster. Is this what you are talking about? or are you talking about the cartoon reaction GIF's like Ursula from little mermaid?

Some part of my brain is saying that I should probably take this as a compliment, my latest GIF's are probably good enough to be compared to the great GIFs here in Tumblr. Maybe.
