Are those little dolls made to look like 3zun as animals in the most recent comic? I need to know how/when Nie Mingjue got those. Are they gifts from Lan Xichen or Nie Huaisang? Did Jin Guangyao sew them himself and stuff them full of evil talismans in case the song didn't work? So many possibilities.
The 3zun dolls were a self-indulgent reference to this (previously abandoned) doodle! As for who made them in universe? I'll leave it up for interpretation B*)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#lan xichen#nie mingjue#ask#Ah why not:#mdzs warrior cats au#by 'previously abandoned' I mean to say that this was just a pencil sketch I cleaned up just now.#Because I draw all of these on paper there are a lot of little doodles in the spaces between.#I don't like wasting paper so I try to squeeze something in there! Even if it's just a silly sketch or a doodle.#Sometimes they are little B plot jokes or alt dialogue to a comic.#or notes about what I want to say in the tags!#I was trying to thumbnail what would have been a larger piece (for the lace detailing practice) but put it aside to focus on the comic.#The aesthetic I was going for was 'Antique Victorian Dolls' with the little hand sewn dresses.#I really want to practice drawing lace and I thought this would be a cute way to do so.#Also something about the Venerated Triad being fluffy cats just really speaks to me...This is 3zun. In my heart.#In the comic they are 'cat -bunny - goat' dolls but the kitty trio was the OG concept.

Paper Dolls and Butterflies by EHyde
Paper Dolls and Butterflies
by EHyde (@ehyde)
G, <1k, Wei Wuxian & Wen Yuan
Summary: While Wei Wuxian is testing a spell, A-Yuan finds a silly paper doll to play with. Kay's comments: Just a cute little story that offers some slice-of-life content for the time Wei Wuxian was living in the Burial Mounds with the Wens. The focus is on his relationship with A-Yuan and the story is from A-Yuan's POV as well and it's just very cute, no angst just fluff. If you ignore that A-Yuan is stumbling over bones while playing. Excerpt: “Chasing butterflies?” Qing-gugu asks. “No!” The paper doll isn't a butterfly. “Oh!” he realizes. “I bet it wants to play with A-Yuan's butterflies!” The paper doll circles around Qing-gugu's head and hovers in front of her face. “Wei Wuxian,” she says. “Xian-gege is, Xian-gege's asleep!” “Asleep, hm?” “Really asleep! I jumped and jumped on top of him and he didn't wake up!” The paper doll nods in agreement, and Qing-gugu laughs. Laughing is right! Jumping on Xian-gege is really fun!

Experts Ask: "How far from the original format can you take a meme before you just should have drawn it yourself?"
Slightly further than this, I am hoping
Anyway this is how that scene went right?
-
Since I don't trust twitter links to stay viable at the moment (and tumblr does weird shit with posts that have links in them, I think) I'll just post the original as a screenshot: Amazing Twitter Comic by @sitandsai from which I played MDZS paper dolls

MDZS headcanon time! WWX’s guidao songs all have names, just like lan music!
[Settling] listening to the spirits and consoling them, offering kindness and compassion to let them calm (its the guidao equivalent to [Calming], ie “putting a toddler in time out until they behave properly”).
[Catharsis] asking or directing spirits to fight for the player, to vent their frustration in a controlled setting.
[Agitation] stirring up residual or ambient yin qi for use, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
[Askance] thinking specific questions allow for spirits to come forward and give relevant information.
[Guiding] mentally marking an individual or set of individuals to be attacked/targeted.
[Locative] asking spirit to look for a person, place, or thing.
[Agony] directing spirits to mentally torment targets.
[Distillation] to cast off smaller grievances and isolate large grievances.
[Mischief] to play subtle tricks on targets, destroying objects, disturbing order, and hexing things.
[Awakening] mass corpse controlling song.
[Calling] to guide a spirit to possess a physical object, like ceramic dolls, corpses, paper men, or puppets.
[Invitation] to invite a spiritual cognition to inhabit a compatible corpse.
[Respite] telling spirits to not harm.

I absolutely love paper doll wei wuxian for so many reasons
The paper effigy suddenly jerked, then gave a couple of shakes. The two expansive, wing-like sleeves flew up, bringing the light body with it, fluttering as it landed on Lan Wangji’s shoulder.
Lan Wangji turned his head to the side to see his own shoulder, and the paper effigy pounced on his cheek at once, climbing the contours of his face until it reached the forehead ribbon. It pulled and yanked at that ribbon, as if too fond of it to let go. Lan Wangji let the effigy twist around for a bit before reaching to pluck it off. At the sight of this, it hastily slid down with a crinkle. Whether intentionally or not, its head bumped against his lips.
Lan Wangji’s movement faltered for a moment, but he finally caught the paper effigy between two fingers. “Stop playing around.”
The effigy bonelessly rolled its body around his long, slender finger.
“Please take the utmost care,” Lan Wangji said.
#mdzs#grandmaster of demonic cultivation#wei wuxian#wwx#lan wangji#lwj#wangxian#my art#i love paper doll wwx so much#takes on an incredibly fragile body that can mess him up so badly if its damaged#and decides he trusts lwj enough to just... clamber all over him#not to mention he decides to flirt while he has the plausible deniability of being in a tiny paper body that can't talk#man come on

learn to wear each other well
link to AO3 AUTHOR: ThirtySixSaveFiles (@thirtysixsavefiles) E, 5211 words, 1/1
RELATIONSHIPS: Lan Wangji / Wei Wuxian BLURB: wwx makes a voodoo doll/paperman for sex
SUMMARY:
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji will sometimes have to be apart; Wei Wuxian knows this. That’s just how life goes. That doesn’t mean he has to like it, nor does it mean he can’t take measures to minimize the distance.
Wei Wuxian pulls the final stitch taut and ties off the thread, humming to himself as he snips off the ends. He sets the needle and scissors aside and lifts the small figure, examining his handiwork.
He wonders what Lan Wangji will think of his solution, and smiles.
bondage, magical bondage, sympathetic magic, dirty talk, begging, size difference, size kink, stomach distension kink, implied yunmeng bros reconciliation, post-canon, lan wangji please don’t fuck a paperman, plot what plot/porn without plot, the porn is the plot, this is better than lan wangji fucking a paperman
[link to all bookmarks]
#r:lwj/wwx#a:thirtysixsavefiles#ao3#mdzs#the untamed#fic recs#so this is basically pure smut :)#i'm thinking though like logistically it's just genuinely impossible to fuck a paperman? like it's a piece of paper#but this? this is a doll and wwx has always been that type of ''attempt the impossible'' so here we are!

One of my favorite things about MDZS (the novel in particular here) is the magic. It doesn’t have a hard magic system precisely, but it sure relies a lot on both genre conventions and taking common idioms that get turned into a bit of clever magic.
I know it got limited a bit by budget constraints (and possibly restrictions of supernatural elements being portrayed on tv), but I always liked this scene.
We last left off meeting the ghost of Ā-Qìng, though she just disappeared after something freaked her out. That something was this:
The sinister fog had grown thin for a time. Now it was gradually starting to swirl around again. But they spotted a sorry-looking figure that burst through the white fog and was rushing towards them. The person was dressed all in black and seemed to be injured, staggering as he fled. A sword was hanging from his waist and wrapped in black cloth. Lán Jǐngyí softly said, “Is that the mist-faced man?”
Lán Sīzhuī quietly answered him, “It mustn’t be. The mist-faced man’s martial art movements were completely different from this person.”
Who could that be, I wonder? :P
While they debate who it is and how to save them, WWX springs into action.
Pondering for a moment, Wèi Wúxiàn moved away from the window and back into the main showroom. The group of young disciples couldn’t help but track him with their eyes. He was just looking at the group of various paper dolls and was quietly standing between two large wreaths. Wèi Wúxiàn then slowly walked along in front of the display before pausing in front of a pair of female paper dolls.
Each doll had its own unique appearance, yet this pair seemed to have been specifically made to look like twin sisters. Their eyebrows curved with their smiling faces. It was like one could hear them “teehee-ing” with cheerful laughter. Their hair was pulled into double-buns while adorned with red pearl earrings, gold bracelets around their wrists, and embroidered shoes on their feet. They were definitely meant to be servants for a very wealthy family.
Wèi Wúxiàn said, “These two will do.”
He smoothly drew one of the young disciple’s sword from its scabbard and lightly swiped across its edge, drawing open a cut across his thumb. He turned back towards the pair and put a pair of eyes on each of them, four eyes in total. Right after, he took a step back and with a faint smile said, “Coy eyes demurely closed, laughter escapes lips of cinnabar. Good and evil matters not. Painted eyes awaken and heed my call.”
A gust of yīn blew in from who knew where and enveloped the entire shop. All of the young disciples unthinkingly took tight hold of their swords.
Suddenly, the twin sister paper dolls gave a violent shudder from head to toe.
A moment later, there really was the “teehee-ing” sound of laughter floating out from their scarlet lips!
The Painted Eyes Summoning Spell!
So neat! I also feel woefully unskilled when it comes to the task of wording magical incantations ORZ. Especially incantations that come from Northern and Southern Dynasty era poetry. Sorry He Sicheng. I definitely butchered this!
As most of you probably already know, the four types of supernatural creatures in this novel comes from an actual idiom just meant to convey all manner of supernatural beings (妖魔鬼怪). Here’s another example of a bit of an idiom and an old legend getting turned into magic!
The Painted Eyes Summoning Spell is written as 点睛召将术 but the interesting bit I’ll focus on here is 点睛 (diǎnjīng) more literally means “dot the eye.” It’s from a longer idiom 画龙点睛 which means something to the effect of “adding the finishing touches” or kinda like “getting the final word in to make a point.” That sort of thing. But the origin of the phrase itself comes from a legend!
It means to “to dot the eye when painting a dragon” and the belief was that if you added this detail to a dragon painting, you could bring it to life.
So this combines both the old and new meaning to bring the dolls to life! It’s just a very clever use of wordplay and old folklore to me. I like MXTX’s take on using common language to create her magic.
I’m also the dumbass that went a decade without realizing Knockturn Alley from Harry Potter was a wordplay on “Nocturnally.” So I will admit I’m not at all clever and therefore very easily entertained.

Posts like the op make me question if anyone actually likes Jin Guangyao in this fandom.
If the things you ascribe to him directly contradict all we see in the novel, donghua, manhua or live action show, then you’re not enjoying the actual character at all. Just a paper doll with pretty dimples.
with my newfound meng yao understanding
i think he would be wonderful with children
watch me give him a happy ending in my fics you cant stop me
#mdzs#jin guangyao#murder dimples#seriously wtf are people on?#how do you profess to like a character and yet erase everything of that character?#this goes for jc stans too#if the only way you can enjoy a character is to erase who they are#you don’t like that character#you just want to play paper dolls

i didn't do one of these the first time around so i'm jumping on it now. dni if you have organized folders instead of shoving loose papers in your bag, have never watched/read/listened to any piece of the mdzs franchise, are a mdzs fan, don't like mdzs, have ever mentioned caroline abbot's name while not owning a single american girl doll, don't use the word fave unironically, are a fan of anything i like, don't know who tristan and isolde are, have ever called dolls creepy, aren't into historical costuming yet watched bridgerton, hate any american girl doll other than tenney logan courtney or kira, have ever made any statement on corsets and feminism while not being into historical costuming, have ever rbed the historically inaccurate beau fucking brummell twitter thread, don't like knights, like knights more than me, wear vegan animal products, have ever read a book released in the last century, don't know sherlock holmes better than the doyle estate, ship king arthur queen guinnevere and sir lancelot, can't sew

About 80 pages into volume 2 of MDZS now. In terms of the fights and magic, I am really liking just how scholarly it all is. I really like that Wei Wuxian goes into facts and details and I like that he can’t just go “Oh it’s definitely this thing.” Instead he has to go on investigations which follow clear lines of logic and have certain routines. It’s nice.
I also really like just how the demonic cultivation works? Things like the piloting of the paper dolls or the using of magic to guide the fierce corpses. I really love necromancy as like. A concept. One of my favorite things about The Locked Tomb is the necromancy and I love how wild and out there Muir gets with the concept. I just really like talking with ghosts or possessions or sending waves of corpses at things. And this book has that sort of things, though not with the sheer grossness of TLT. Which is fine really. We don’t always need the sort of shit that happens at the end of GtN.
I’m very interested in seeing more about how like this was all developed, what issues it’s caused and just what the fuck is up with Wen Ning’s situation.

MDZS donghua episode notes
So. I have now watched seasons 1 and 2 of the MDZS donghua, and just started the final one. And I realised that with all the flashbacks etc., I really do not remember what happens in which episode, which is a pain when trying to find something specific 🙄. So, inspired by the aweome Clipper's Guide to the Untamed by @canary3d-obsessed (a life-saver!), I started taking short notes on the going's on in each episode. They don't make much sense as such, perhaps, but if you've seen the donghua, they might serve you as reminders of what happened where. I'll make these for the s3 episodes as I go, and then get back to seasons 1 and 2. I'll also make a master post for these and add a link to that in my pinned post. I put in timestamps for the flashbacks, to help in the timing. And a few screencaps to spice things up.
Season 3: The Final Chapter
Episode 1: Yi City
Main appearances: Wangxian, Jin Ling
Briefly popping in: Lan Xichen, Jin Guangyao, Nie Huaisang, Apple, Fairy, Chang Ping (dead, mostly), Xue Yang, Xiao Xingchen, Song Lan, Jin Guangshan, Nie Mingjue
