My Baizhu headcanons so far (1-6 +1):

Just thought about putting my personal, little headcanons (6 so far + 1 from my side block) about Baizhu together since they' re scattered pretty far over my whole dashboard ^^"

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

Fell free to ignore them, use them as inspiration or just laugh about them (in a respectful way):

Baizhu starts to lisp...like a snake, if he gets flustered or ashamed... or to angry. Normally he takes great care not to lisp, thats why he speaks some words with a lot of care ( or with a weird pronunciation) and slowly like 'Herbs' or 'chance'

(Snakes are reptiles, and do not have the ability to digest dairy products like milk. Milk is designed for warm-blooded mammals. But sometimes doesn't stop them from drinking it when offered...) I imagine him as highly lactose intolerant. He can't even stand the smell of milk because he knows what it would do to him and his diggestive system. He probably tried it once for the sake of knowledge but he regreted it extremly. He was probably the one who introduced Coconut milk to little Qiqi.

No one is allowed to be present when he does his accounting (not even Gui or Qiqi). Calculating with his abacus is like meditating for him... and his snake-tongue flicks on his own every few clicks...he just can't do anything against it. It's too emberassing for him...

Baizhu swings his hips quite a bit when he walks. He gets therefore (and because of his long, sleek hair) often catcalled by foreign sailors who only see his backside. It depends on his mood that day if he turns around to shock them or just lets it slide and takes it as a compliment.

Baizhu can't blush, because he's cold blooded (at least a part of him is snake... I mean look into his eyes!) He isn't the type to blush anyway (he's seen a lot as a doctor), it takes much to flatter or embarrass him but it can become chilling that there is no body reaction from his side if he doesn't artificially shows his mood.

Our snek doctor doesn't care about gender typical behaviour. He actually likes to wear lipstick now and then (blood red is his favourite). He doesn't wear it often in puplic (just because he doesn't care, unfortunately, doesn't mean the rest of Liyue doesn't care -> it could lower his reputation) but now and then he puts it on when he's alone in his private quarters or on the Pearl Galley. Or when he sees the possibility for a nice deal trough crossdressing... "In the animal kingdom, it's also the male who accessorizes with colors, what does that have to do with my gender or sexuality? Humans are so small-minded…"

Technology hates Baizhu and he hates it back! It never seems to work when he tries it or when he's even near it. But some of the technic advances from Fontaine would make things so much easier for him. Alas there is not a Chance it would work for him anyway. He just got used to it by now and keeps his hands off of it for the safety of his fragile self and others. He acts like that typical technology hating grandma because he doesn't believe he can survive another electric shock...

Aga Naga is the slowburn, peaceful love. The kind of love where you walk through grass meadows holding hands and watch sunsets together.  The playful, teasing kind of love where you splash water at each other and put flowers in their hair. The type of love where they slowly become your best friend and a part of you, and one of those major things that makes you happy. 

Veera Raja Veera is the electrifying kind of love. The one full of responsibilities and understanding. The love where you’re head over heels for them and have fallen HARD. The type which you are so immersed in that you associate yourself with them first. Where you loved them all along and they are the only ones who you can ever have eyes for.

Chinnanjiru Nilave is the right person, wrong time love. The type of love that could have never worked out. The one where you read their old letters and feel their presence with their old objects that they left behind long ago. The one where you could only wonder what ‘could have been’ . The one where even though you gave your 100%, you couldn’t stay with them, but you can never forget them. they occupy the whole of your heart, even though they are the ones who broke it.

───despite having spent most of his time loathing what he had been turned to, Lars was still half a thousand years old; powerful, having had the time to sharpen his abilities —a never-ending quest, really, and he has always had nothing but time— hence he can tell the person he had approached was a vampire and a powerful one at that. he vaguely recognized him as the leader of the opposite faction; one that perhaps would have been more fitting for a vampire to join. blue eyes met the rich gold hues of the other, and a polite, almost practiced, charming smile formed on his lips —that of the businessman. “or my name, perhaps,” a beat, “easier in our circle,” he laughed a little as a hand extend out for a handshake. “Lars Alexandersson,” the vampire spoke again, “please to make you an acquaintance.”

Suresh looked at the handsome vampire in front of him. He didn't know who he belonged to if anyone. Suresh knew who belonged to him and this vampire was not one of his. The Naga smiled at the distance given. He nodded in agreement, "The sign of a successful party, no?" His gold eyes drifted over the other's suit. "I don't know you. I would remember your face. What's your name?"

Hello again! It’s me Marina. I want say thanks for answering my asked, so in returned I drew a new yandere monster. He is a cobra Naga Raja and he very obsessed with you right now unless other darling want to join his harem. I hope you love your gift and new character. :3

Thank you for this generous gift, Marina dear. Since you mentioned a harem of Darlings, I humbly extend the invitation to everyone else reading this. One can never have enough naga boyfriends.

Gosh, I'll be adding this masterpiece to my little treasure chest! <3

Of course he had to come back at some point. With the others, he didn't have much care to return, at least not yet. But with so few of their kind in the world, it was something that drew him in. Someone that could relate, someone that could understand. And the most fun part being someone that could actually likely injure him. That was the most thrilling aspect. Perhaps he was pushing his luck, it would simply be better to fade away once again until the time was right to strike. But where was the fun in that? Corvinus often lived his life based on where he might gain powers...or where he might have the most enjoyment. Right now, Suresh provided both of those options.

He had given his name as Suresh as told him, led back into that familiar room. Past the crowds of people, back int the solitude where he could just be himself. Not the weakling little blood witch and with a familiar face. And yet, when he entered, there was a strange feeling in the room. Something...different. Something off. His brows furrowed as the door shut behind him, eyes finding the Naga with ease as he started to shrug off his jacket just for comfort.

"Did you miss me?" he asked, choosing for the moment to dismiss the strange sensation in the area, folding the jacket to set over the edge of a chair. "You know, this city is quite fascinating. So many people, so many sights..."

The phone call had been brief. Extremely brief. Just a time and a nearby cemetery. He may not have been fond of the snake but, to Callum's knowledge, the Lotus Eaters boss wasn't as immortal as the new visitor. It was just a step below was Callum might deem unforgivable to his own Goddess. After a meeting with said visitor, Callum had no interest in playing whatever games the man had come equipped with as he so often did.

He stood at one of the graves with hands clasped in front of him. Some unfortunate soul that had died young some time ago but such was the way of life. Sound of footsteps, a familiar scent, and Callum knew he was no longer alone. "I never understood why so many people avoid cemeteries. They're quite peaceful." Because of the reminder of mortality, Callum knew that. But he wouldn't have called Suresh to simply talk about such things. "We have a problem in the city."

[sanguisxferox]

Diligence.

A frown of concentration is the only emotion displayed on Fior's very expressionless face. A rebellious strand of mostly grey hair cast a shadow over his left eye. Tightly shut lips are surrounded by a short salt and pepper beard that leaves any observers wandering if the look is deliberate or if it's unkept. Fior would say it's a bit of both. Keeping his hair and beard this length is easier to manage. Although, most would say the new look suits him very well, it's a bit of a sharp contrast to how he looked before the passing of his Agnès and their twins.

The Emissary reads carefully each word and the way each sentence is written; agreements are so easy to go around when someone is a skilful enough writer to include loopholes in their documents. The naga has never been one to do that as far as he's concerned, but one can never be too careful.

After a while, he hums to himself; pleased with things. "Everything seems in order; as usual. You didn't have to come to the meeting yourself. But thank you for these impeccable documents." Fior's tone holds a hint of admiration through its neutrality. He's yet to understand that this meeting was deliberate in the choice of the attendees, but personally, he feels bad that the Lotus Eaters' leader has to deal with him and not his leader directly.

Ranking the songs of Ponniyin Selvan

The sole reason for making this post is because I. AM. OBSESSED. Also, I am not a music expert, so this is just about how the songs sounded to me.

14. PS Anthem

I...I don't have anything to say. It's an okay song for me, I just don't like it as much as the other tracks, simple.

13. Devaralan Aattam

Again, same thing. It is a nice piece of music...I am not that fond of it. This album is soooo good, and this song is a nice song. Except I kind of get scared when I listen to it T-T.

12. Aazhi Mazhai Kanna

It is soooo pretty! My only complaint is that it is...what? A minute long?! I wish it were a full fledged, 2-3 minute long song...It has a such a lovely vibe, and I am in love with the music video.

11. Ilaiyor Soodar

It has a kind of nostalgic, old-ish vibe? IDK how to describe it, but it feels kind of melancholic, which I think it is meant to be? This is very small as well, no?

10. Chinnanjiru (Marumurai)

This is one of my fav songs on this album actually, but I don't listen to it that much, because it makes me cry. I think this song might actually make me depressed, it's so beautifully made and sung.

9. Chola Chola

It has a very energetic vibe, over all. Why do I feel that this would be a good gym song tho? It also seems like a strong dance song, and I love it for that. Also, I listened to the Hindi version first, and I highly recommend it.

8. Chinnanjiru Nilave

It is a very beautiful piece of music. My favorite part is how the music starts off with a very cheerful tune, and keeps it throughout the song, while slowly adding a tragic/painful tone as the song progresses. It really fits the couple it is picturized on. Who is the singer, guys? Another song whose Hindi version I loved.

7. Shivoham

I really love the fact that this song's lyrics are taken directly from Nirvana Shatakam. I am a sucker for well made religious music, especially with Sanskrit lyrics, and this is one of those songs. Someone make a 1 hour loop of this, it is toooooo short.

6. Ponni Nadhi

This was the first PS song I listened to, and it is so, so, so good!!!! Such an energetic and simultaneously peaceful song. The music video is so precious as well, and the fact that it is picturized on Vanthiyathevan is just another plus for me. Makes me want to sing along whenever I listen to it.

ANNNDDDDD NOW, TOP 5.

5. Ratchasa Maamaney

Sweetie, I am so sorry. I feel so guilty for ranking this so low. This is an awesome song. Shreya Ghoshal is a pleasure as always, and the music + music video are just precious. This song has such festive vibes, and Vanthiyathevan's parts are so hilarious. The flute in the beginning has fulfilled all my dreams.

4. Sol

Now, NGL, but I was not that big of a fan of this song initially, when I first heard it, but it grew on me. The whistling, the sound of water, everything is so cute. This is the most adorable song I have ever heard. The Tamil version was my fav.

3. Aga Naga

It is so dreamy and breath-taking for me. I am in love with this song. The instruments, and the singing, everything is top notch. IDK how people can dislike this song. It has a slow touch to it, and it is very romantic, but has subtle vibes? Like this song gives me the vibe of loving someone, but from afar?

2. Alaikadal

So dreamy and peaceful. I listened to all of it's versions, and it has a mysterious + chill vibe. Antara Nandy is such a good singer. This song just transports you to a different world.

WINNER: Veera Raja Veera

This song is just....perfection. Chef's kiss. Out of this world. ROYAL. I always blast this song on full volume, and it is EVERYTHING. This song is just....I don't have words for it. The lyrics are even more perfect. The part before the last chorus is my fav and I just-

Also the music video.

DAMN.

I am screaming, shrieking, throwing up whenever I listen to it.

What is your ranking?

She was still soaking wet from her time in the tank, a towel still wrapping around her though it only added to the discomfort by providing more warmth. Of course her shouting and swearing and drawn the manager into the backroom and much to Liliana's ire. For months, she had been complaining about the tank, ever since a new manager had been put in charge. It wasn't cold enough, it felt like fire on her skin. She could deal with warm air fine enough but warm water? She may as well be boiled alive! Her skin was even the slightest shade of pink from being in there so long despite her discomfort.

Maybe Liliana was known to be a bit harder to work with, a perk she would say of being a top girl. Normally, she might brush off some things. Makeup wasn't waterproof enough to her standards? She'd deal with it before finding some that could last longer herself. Someone messed up how organised her outfits were? Well they'd regret it but she'd put it back together herself. Add probably several more complaints but at least she could put on a good show and made sure the men and women always came back when on the floor. Time and place, she understood that, better than when she had first started.

This was simply unacceptable any longer.

"I don't want to fucking hear it anymore!" If it weren't for the music, she would likely be heard outside on the main floor. "It's been fucking months now and every time I get in the fucking tank, it feels like I'm on fire! Which, in case you didn't know, you shouldn't feel when you're fucking underwater!" Maybe the other few merfolk liked the warmer waters. The main oceans, the tropics, they were full of warm water. But Liliana was from the Arctic, she survived in cold, not heat!

Glass shattering, one of her perfume bottles being thrown against the nearest wall. The manager insisting it was only a fifty degree difference, that none of the others had issue with it, and that only pissed her off even more.

"Only fifty degrees. Well how about I crank it up to one-hundred and twenty degrees and drag you to the bottom in it? That's not even fifty degrees difference!"

[frgdsecrts]

For: Suresh ( @naga-raja-suresh ) Location: Suresh's office

It been a little over a week since the attack and Versi was finally ready to get back out there. He had just needed time to rest and recharge before being able to return to society. The wolf felt so lucky to have friends like Rus and Knox in his life. Knox had come to his rescue, again, and Rus had helped heal him. In that week he could not deny how often his mind had drifted to Suresh. There was a part of him that felt really guilty for not having reached out to him sooner, especially since he had told him he would come by, but an even bigger part of him was embarrassed over what had happened. Regardless, Versi did want to see Suresh and he also had his Christmas gift to give him still.

He arrives to the club with intentions of seeking Suresh out. He has already messaged the other to let him know that he wanted to stop by today and he was happy to find out that Suresh could see him today. In his hand was a little neatly wrapped box that was adorned with a green bow. Upon his arrival, he asks an employee if he could speak with Suresh. He wasn't expecting securtiy to come escort him to Suresh's office, but he followed. Curiously looking around at different things as he walked, though soon he found himself in front of Suresh's office door. The security knocks, awaits for approval, then opens the door for the Versi to step in. They close it and unbeknownst to Versi remain outside the door until told to do otherwise.

"Hello, Suresh. It's very nice to see you again." And it was, very nice. He steps a little closer to where Suresh was, warmly smiling, extending the gift out for him to take. "I'm sorry it's a little late, but Merry Christmas. I'm also sorry that I have been distant with you as of late, and that I did not make it when I was originally supposed to come." He shifts a little uncomfortably, softly clearing his throat, "S-something happened. Everything is okay now, but I just needed a bit of time because of it. How have you been?"

"Bossman!" It isn't busy yet, just the initial opening lull as things finish setting up, giving Chester plenty of time to abandon their post to bother Suresh. Perhaps it isn't the best course of action but, after 4 years, they're loathe to give up such a time honored tradition. Maybe one day it'll cost them their job. Not today though, surely. He's sure his employer finds his antics both refreshing and endearing. His boots clack against the flooring as he makes his way over, long hair secured up in a butterfly-esque claw clip. "So, I was wondering as a...business, where do we stand on...lost property?" Chester asks, tapping a finger almost thoughtfully against their jaw. "How long do we wait before deciding somebody isn't coming back for it?" Because there was clearly something they wanted to pilfer. Multiple things, actually.

Spear in hand I sought to scour heaven.

Many heroes fight with a blade. I do not. I wield the weapon of soldiers and warriors, not of heroes. I am no hero. I profess no village to protect, I profess no god to herald. With my weapon and with my conviction, I unlash myself from the bindings of the earth—the first step to my enlightenment. The Heavenspear Art teaches that the first step is always this: no gods, no kings.

What King but me? What God but me? Become the spear. The spear does not choose who to kill, only the wielder.

I am the wielder and the wielded. I am the spear and the thrusting hand. I understand this, even as the naga courses through me. I understand this, even as the spirit of a thousand rain-waters courses through my veins, powering my katas, my spear twirls. I ascend, ascend, and ascend. I am the rain, I am the storm, I am the lightning rising, returning to the clouds that is its womb.

And I face the angel machine head on. What else but a fool chooses to reactivate such weapons of mass destruction? Virbanwa must be curbed. Their inutility has become a nuisance, near a danger to all of Gubat Banwa. Its eyes aflame with unpursued glory, its wings sprouting from behind its back like thorns from a lotus. Not an affront to creation—nay, just a pitiable excuse for a weapon in this land of suffering.

I wield my weapon and I am wielded by the naga. A sword swing from the horrible excuse for a God Body and the naga parries it with a live hand, and I see my opening. I am like the shooting stars, I am the comet, I am crashing straight through its heart and I am become the spear that scours heaven, both imagined and real. The skies are my friend, but alien conquerors are not. Jamiyun Kulisa, the Thunderbolt Brother, imbues me with a certain fulmination.

I am white-hot, brighter than the sun. Through my deed and my violence I shall be remembered as Sri Lakan Bishruta Nalilipad Sa Bulalakaw, and in this moment I am King.

Art above by @villain-returns!

Above is fiction for Gubat Banwa, a Tabletop Tactics Roleplaying Game (think, D&D) where you play as KADUNGGANAN, overdramatic warrior-braves and martial artists taking jobs from datu and rajas in a Classical Southeast Asian Fantasy setting! We have a kickstarter coming soon!

Hello there folks!

A major publisher in my country just published (finally!) the translation for Black Powder War this January 2024, and I wanna show you the Indonesian cover for Temeraire series so far!

I don't think the dragons are accurate and I have no idea who the fuck is that man in book 1, but I think there are very pretty, especially the gold colorings.

I also wanna explain some funny translation things, which may contain spoiler, so beware.

His Majesty's Dragon

Who the fuck are you??

So that guy clearly is not Will Laurence. And the funny thing is, the meaning of the title "Naga Sang Kaisar" is more closer to "Emperor's Dragon" than "His Majesty's Dragon"

I mean they can perfectly chose Raja (King) to translate "His Majesty", but they chose Kaisar (Emperor) instead. Maybe it is a winkwink spoilery thing to sneakily hint who the actual intended resipient for Celestial egg is.

In that case—is that Napoleon then???

Anyway, I just know that, because of this cover, the new reader in my country will always pictured Laurence with dark hair until in the book six or something when they'll be like, wait, he is bLOND??

Throne of Jade

Black Powder War

So did you see anything wrong with these two?

I LOVE the art and the color scheme, it's perfect and all, but, I think ... they get switched??

The ship and the water in book 3 cover should be for book 2. And the building in book 2 cover is resembling Istanbul's palace more than China's. Don't you think?

There is not even a ship in the book 3 other than Allegiance in the chapter one, right?

The sun shining in book 2 cover potrayed desert pretty clearly, right?

Right?

Am I going crazy?

Regardless how bonker it is, I still love 'em! And i hope you love 'em too!
