#mdzs nails art

[glowingreads]

How I promise the other day I have a little special proiect start. I just recently got back in making my one nails ( because I fell like I could not find a good nail artist în my town so I just made it myself) I know the basic of nail art and I used to do it but i stop do to the known phrase "I don’t have time ". But a new year new me tipe of energy I end up here and just recently I start learning to draw on procreate (I am new to this so if my draws are the qualiti of a child bear with me I am stil learning).

And in that maner I made this sketch about Jin siblings (all four ) and Xue Yang that portret them in my royal au. I let all of you to guess which siblings is on which nail. And I will do for more of the characters or pers nail design all of you would like.

P. S. I don’t own the template ( all the credit for the template is go to the author) I download on pinterest and you can find it to if you want the blank version.

Thirty-year-old MDZS constipated characters sitting around a table painting each other's nails. What happens, and who is the most artistic of them all?

i hate making fun of misspellings or autocorrect but i have spent the whole morning puzzling over this

IS it an autocorrect tragedy

is there some kind of cultural association between being constipated and painting your nails that i don't know about

it sounds like the premise of one of those freaky AI youtube videos for kids. constipated spiderman and elsa paint their nails!

anyway, for the combination of precision and patience that excellent nail art requires, one man sweeps away the competition and that is lan qiren. he learned when lan xichen was having his seven-year-old fascination with nail polish that wangji naturally had to try, too

For the salty ask list: 25 and 10 regarding MDZS

Aw thank you for playing the game with me ^^

10 - Most disliked arc and why?

I'm going to anger my beta-reader Nasha...but I really disliked the Yi city arc, for several reasons (mostly stupid ones one stupid and one more legitimate than the other) The more legitimate one...It felt ouf of the story, like different from the rest (which makes sense since it's a story that MTXT wrote in high school and decided to implement last minute), I didn't like that there was no-prexistence for XY, XXC and SZC before. I did like WWX being a teacher in this and it was fun but that's it. I didn't even really vibe with the romantic couple of the arc (sorry XXC/SZC and XY U-U) I do like XY and A-Qing a lot (and Ouyang Zizhen whom shined in this arc) but huh that's it. It doesn't help that it's a moment of the story I was struggling with the power system and didn't understand much of how WW could do this and that (it was the beginning, so I waited for an explanation that never came, used to the way western books do, which is on me).

The stupid reason is that someone put the kids in danger and nailed dead cats for that. Which automatically make them the ultimate villain for me. You kill cat you're irredeemable in my book *runs away*

25 - How would you end MDZS? Would you change the ending ?

Ah, hard question. I really loved MTXT, I wouldn't change much from it? But at the same time I would changes some things.

Maybe make the theme a little more clearer because obviously some readers didn't get it, but there's always people not reading it like the author intend to. You can't fight that. So yeah...

My author side adores the parallel between LXC and JGY and their parents (the same way LWJ and WWX mirror it) adore the first sentence being "Wei Wuxian is dead hurray!!" and you spend the whole book learning that actually, not hurray at all...And the last line "JGY is dead, hurray!!" (when really not hurray). I think though this would have needed to be more highlighted, by giving more time / more development in the extra. With the cultivation world being in trouble because now they have lost their best administrator, and they have NHS who is not a good plotter or a good administrator either and destroyed everything in his revenge path. I would have more Wangxian getting a bit held responsible for some things because I'm sorry they are not acting to righteous by hiding the truth from LXC and going in their honeymoon phase and abandoning everything else. I do love seeing them happy, and I adored the incense burner extra but huh I feel they replaced important story bit we would have needed xD I would have also loved to see the Lan sect and the Nie sect getting a bit exposed for their hypocrisy (especially the Nie sect and they almost demonic cultivation saber)

But on the other hand I also hate the way MDZS ended with that loop. (I know I'm human, I'm complicated TT) I wanted JGY to get away and survive, because I'm tired of the "commoner who rose to the top and ended up being "corrupted" (aka playing their rules) being punished and proving the point of elite that letting them (commoners) in is actually worse than letting the system as it is" I really really hate that. I would rather have him flee and prosper in another place.

OR BETTER, my ideal ending is JGY ascending. like I said on twitter and then Shiome did an awesome fix-it au art like a week later (satiating my urge to write the au) - linking MDZS and TGCF together by having JGY ascend as a god, paving that once again you don't have to be perfect to be a god (im sorry if you hadn't read tgif, know that every gods in there is guilty of something). I would have loved that type of ending because we avoid the trope and JGY ends up being a bit right and doing the middle finger to everyone (look at Shiome's perfect art!!). and make the overall theme even clearer aka, the problem is the society. think that'd be my ultimate perfect ending for MDZS U-U° (and I could write an happy ending for xiyao, since Wangxian got their, they are fine they don't need extra help).

I'm going to be a little weird again, but as much as I love JC, I would to change anything to his story. Not even Chengxian reconciliation. I do love to reconcile them in my fics, but I do like that in the book they just...Are cordial to each other and not angry anymore but not friend/back to what they used to be. I just find it more realistic. People who's been following me for a long time know I'm picky with redemption arc and forgiveness. Not all characters needs to be forgiven/to forgive, I like diversity and some not forgiving. (I like some never forgetting, forgiving, and live their life without being portrayed as resentful) which I feel is a bit the case for JC. (as much as JC can be at least).

I would like to pick your brain about your beautiful fic Darling domination. Whatever you wanna say, some snippets, fun facts etc. I would love to hear it.

Ahh!!! Sorry I’m the worst at responding to messages/asks, I’ve got the executive dysfunction of a walnut.

Ummm let’s see. I did a lot of research on the wine for chapter 3; it’s based off of an actual launch Penfolds is doing in China. (Penfolds being the brand that did the event with biblebuild.) they launched a regional specific line in China only and the labels are beautiful.

I’m a big wine drinker myself & live out in a HUGE wine region; it’s one of the places known worldwide in terms of regional wine/growth. I’ve gone to a lot of different wineries and love seeing the artwork and labels and things. Even with how much I love wine I still feel very inept with like, *expensive* wine and tasting notes 😂

Darling domination was partially inspired by “Blood Breath and Bone” by Strats & Bells, (In some ways here and there), and there are a few things in the next few chapters that I’ll be exploring that basically I’ve had brain rot since I read their collab. (Don’t worry I’ve talked to them and got permission 😂).

It was also put into creation by Lin ( @blackwatervial ) who desperately wanted an AU with experienced bdsm Pete showing Vegas the ropes (literally and figuratively.) I’ve talked out much of my plot/outline with her and she’s going to be doing more art for it (specifically something special for chapter 5!!).

I also really wanted to explore a darker side of bdsm in the sense of like, emotions and trauma and how those sorta affect and adapt how vegaspete both relate to sex? it’s not as deep as I’d like to go and have other fics for that but really wanted to highlight in ch 2 both top drop and sub drop. I have a lot of growth for Vegas planned and how he uses kink and domination for his own control and self worth and how that’s tied to his relationship with his father and Kinn and how that relates back to his dynamic with Pete.

There’s also a whole exploration with a bdsm club (& world building for that) that I sorta introduced in ch 3 but will be setting up the bdsm club as a central location in the fic for ch 4; some of which I had written out and outlined for an old fic in mdzs that I never wrote/published.

Identity porn has always been one of my favorite tropes and love exploring it, and haven’t really scene anything for vegaspete so far? Like I’m also feral to write a fic where VP meet in a club and fuck with identity shenanigans (either Vegas doesn’t know who Pete is or they both know and have a secret fuck or whatnot). I’m really excited to sorta build up this tension between Vegaspete before snapping it (as it always happens with identity porn/mistaken identity), and how that works with vegaspete.

I’m not sure if I have anything else to say… as of right now that wouldn’t be a spoiler! I haven’t started ch 4 yet bc I’ve been working on eyes on me ch 11 (which is fighting me tooth and nail) but hopefully will start ch 4 when I’m done with EOM 11!

bunch of thoughts on the art styles in mdzs & tgcf visual adaptations:

i think out of all the four visual adaptations in mdzs and tgcf (i haven’t taken a look at anything from svsss yet) i love the art style of the tgcf donghua the most. it’s kinda ghibli-like but still sharp enough to give the characters some really great expressions. so obsessed with hua cheng’s donghua design (especially his true form like ??? just .... screaming over how perfect it looks). i haven’t watched it yet but i’ve seen mvs and edits and i just know that this san lang character design is going to be my all-time fav. a little childish, sly, secretive. you can see it in his eyes and his little smirky smile. very nice. i like it.

mdzs manhua was great overall, i just preferred the style from the first half compared to the second half (or what i like to call the black-haired version vs the brown-haired version). the art style peaked during the yi city arc imo. my fav manhua character versions: lan xichen, nie mingjue, xue yang, song lan (Obsessed with his manhua design), xiao xingchen, wen ning (his chibis are so precious).

mdzs donghua art style is very good for action (somehow it reminds of me those older animes e.g. ghost in the shell or perfect blue), it really grew on me a lot after watching the whole thing. idk how to explain it but the donghua eyes are a lot more fancier than the manhua style. some character designs i liked better in the manhua version - e.g. jin guangyao (he’s my absolute fav in the donghua i love his pre-chief cultivator design so much), jin ling (he became cuter somehow), jin zixuan (they really nailed his brooding temperament very well), in fact most of the major lanlingjin characters were just amazingly done in donghua. also wen qing, madam yu are a lot more imposing when you see them animated. some characters like sizhui, jingyi, huaisang, jiang cheng were equally great for both adaptations. 

i still prefer the yiling laozu and lwj hairstyles from the manhua though (just a personal preference!). maybe cos it looks cleaner? especially for wwx’s yiling laozu hairstyle. in manhua version it’s really sleek and straight. for lwj i just liked the general flow/shape of his hair in the manhua better than the donghua.

also for yi city quartet i’m manhua version all the way. i mean all the other iterations of xue yang are very nice but so far no other version of xue yang has topped his manhua design for me :) 

ok last one is the tgcf manhua this took me a hella long time to get used to it (i’m still getting used to it actually) - it’s very VERY pretty, like a painting. i won’t deny that. but it’s a little harder to see the expressions since everything’s so impressionistic-like. still, everyone here looks so goddamn beautiful so i’m sure as hell not complaining. xie lian looks like a doll i just keep stopping at every panel to examing the details of how they drew his hair and his lips and eyes like ... gaaahhh so!!! pretty!!!! and if hua cheng in donghua version is cute, the manhua version of hua cheng is intimidating as hell. his face is literally perfect i actually wanna cry admiring it. i’d combust if anyone who looked like that even gave me a glance. 

like, if i were to give an analogy, the tgcf manhua is high art, luxury dining, high-class food, something along those lines. the art style just screams rich which is suitable for a story about gods and immortals, it’s just that i’m slowly adjusting to all that gorgeousness and still getting used to it.

also on a side note i am very unhealthily obsessed with this fanmade song for tgcf called ‘pleased god’ that i came across in a compilation playlist and i’ve been looping it pretty much the whole day at work ;-;

[ID: A MDZS comic featuring Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian which is in black and white but uses some gold or purple elements in the text and art. First we see Wen cultivators walking down a street towards Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng staring with horror. "God says, I will take you or your brother. God says, You get to choose."

A shot of young Jiang Cheng laughing with dogs and a shot of young Wei Wuxian on the streets is separated by a gold river. "Cain says, 'When you split me and my brother in the womb'". A slightly older Jiang Cheng frowning with electricity crackling around him and Wei Wuxian beaming with light radiating from him. "'You did not divide us evenly.'" They both have golden circles in their chests; Jiang Cheng's is smaller than Wei Wuxian's.

Jiang Cheng watches Jiang Fengmian to speak with a smile to Wei Wuxian. "'He got kindness, and I got longing.'" Wei Wuxian laughs on a dock while Jiang Cheng practices swordplay. "'He got complacence, and I got ambition.'"

Jiang Cheng strangling Wei Wuxian in a field. "'I want to kill him sometimes.'" Wei Wuxian smiling; the circle in his chest has been pried and nailed open to reveal a scene of a mountain, and out of it spills gold. "'Sometimes I think he wants to die.'"

"I have never made brothers before, God explains. That is how I thought they were made. What more do you want?" A very small shot of them together as children. "'I want to steal some of his kindness,' Cain says". Jiang Cheng distracts the Wen cultivators. "And shakes his pocket knife out of his sleeve."

On the street, Wei Wuxian looks back with a slight frown. "Back at home, Abel sits up in his bed with a start, heart racing. That was close, he thinks, that was a damn close one. And does not know why." Jiang Cheng lies curled on his side, the circle in his chest now a black hole. "In the field, the ground warms as blood seeps into the dirt." End ID]

Oh how wonderful, how terrifying, to be loved to destruction

Preview:

Wei Wuxian rolled onto his stomach and propped his chin on the bed as he scrolled on his phone. He swung his legs back and forth as he eyed the beautiful creations on the Youmei app. The app was created by his old friend, Nie Huasang, and if Wei Wuxian were to be honest, it made complete sense given Nie Huasang’s love for art, handicrafts, and everything beautiful. Despite being a new app, it was already very popular and hosted sellers of all kinds who crafted all types of beautiful creations. Wei Wuxian paused his scrolling when he saw a picture of a hand adorned with many gorgeous floral rings. His eyes widened and he gasped softly on seeing the delicate and exquisite rings on each finger. Wei Wuxian clicked into the profile of the seller and sat up, excited, as he saw the gallery filled with similar photos of the person’s creations — dainty floral rings, charming bracelets, and chains draped over the hand from finger to wrist. “Kaihua,” Wei Wuxian said out loud when he clicked on the seller’s profile. “To bloom,” he whispered to himself with a smile. “That’s a pretty name.” The profile didn’t have a lot of information about the seller, just an email address — bichen@cloudrecesses.com — and a simple note that read ‘There is beauty in simplicity.’ But there was a very extensive and detailed description in the policy section which made Wei Wuxian laugh. “Someone’s thorough,” Wei Wuxian chuckled as he scrolled down the seemingly endless policy that covered everything from metrics for product satisfaction to categories for the return policy. Wei Wuxian went back to browsing through the product gallery, sighing at every creation. Each item was a hand accessory. He loved the way the jewelry adored the person’s hands, their long fingers, their elegant wrist, their shapely hand and the curve of their palm. In some photos, the nails were painted to complement the jewelry while in others they were bare, but always neatly trimmed. The designs were also very interesting. They weren’t too busy or complex. They didn’t have too many things going on all at once. Instead, they were just small flowers of all kinds, all recreated very accurately, Wei Wuxian noticed. The hand poses in each picture were beyond graceful. Wei Wuxian realized that he was admiring the hands almost as much as the jewelry, perhaps even more.
