A Siji Manor poster I made recently!

I wanted to make something a bit fun and graphic for once! I would say I had a lot of fun making this but it's only half-true because painting that many face was a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm, unfortunately, not a crowd enjoyer. I wanted to give the vibes of a weird movie or show, something like that. Unsettling would be the keyword I was going for. Once again, those are my Siji Manor costume designs.

today's DZZS LNY Mini Prompt Fest fic (Day 7: Celebration) is E rated and spicy so it's just on ao3. XD

[mount-everwhite]

I've always seen it as the passing of the master's sword to the disciple when he became a master himself (this based on the idea that Rong Xuan was no longer there to earn it himself). But I love the idea of such a sentiment attached to it, that his idiot boy Rong Xuan was out there in a world he could no longer navigate and QHZ hopefully using it as a means to help him, expressing the desire of his master - brilliant!

Forgive me if you have explained elsewhere but why do you think Ye Baiyi was willing to part with the sword his beloved made him, and give it to Zhou Zishu’s master? Maybe they explain it in canon but emotionally I can only think that was devastating for him and he had to have some profound reason for doing so

I don't know if I saw it somewhere or if I headcanoned it but I think he gave it to Qin Huaizhang (ZZS's master) as a "thanks" for keeping an eye on Rong Xuan, so he valued the sword enough to know it'll protect "his boy". Rong Changqing was still alive then when the trade happened so Ye Baiyi had the real thing right there. Some headcanoned that Longbei was actually made for Ye Baiyi and Baiyi for RCQ so they always have the other at their side but that's just a cute headcanon. Either way, the Baiyi sword also started as a "sword with no name" and it's not clear when it earned Baiyi's name, if it was gifted to him by RCQ, if Ye Baiyi claimed it or if Qin Huaizhang named the sword after Ye Baiyi who gave it to him (meaning it was Baiyi protecting Rong Xuan if it came to it).

I love Ye Baiyi's story so complex and tragic and beautiful and we have so many gaps in it despite it being the driving force behind everything that happened in Word Of Honor ; ;

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

im giffing the scene with gao xiaolian and gao chong (and shen shen! but this is not abt him!) in ep10, the one were xiaolian pleads her dad to stop sending her with gifts to chengling as part of their arranged betrothal that chengling doesnt want anyway. you can really feel the genuinety behind the love these two have for each other, father and daughter, despite not seeing eye to eye in this matter. xiaolian adores her father and gao chong doesnt seem happy at causing her any hurt, even if he expects his only daughter to carry out her filial duty

No Shortage of Nights

Rating: M

Relationships: Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu, Gu Miaomiao & Wen Kexing & Wen Ruyu, Qin Huaizhang & Zhou Zishu, Qin Huaizhang & Wen Kexing

Zhou Zishu smiled. It was pleasant to be transparent to this man, he thought. Weeks of traveling and days in his bed had undone the masks he had spent years fashioning. “I’m thinking we should pay your master a visit.” He watched shock break across Wen Kexing’s face, only to smooth out quickly. “We should?” he said.

Sequel to Millions of Suns Left, where, shortly after Qin Jiuxiao's death, canon Zhou Zishu was thrown into an alternate universe where Wen Kexing is part of Siji Manor and almost everyone who was dead is still alive.

(Yes, that's Han Ye from Legend of Anle. I wanted a Gong Jun who looked more like Siji Disciple!WKX)

[deepestbluesky]

shl/tyk women thought of the day: liu qianqiao teaching other people the disguise techniques she learned from qin huaizhang, and the other makeup skills she learned on her own through the rest of her life. regular makeup, makeup to hide bruises and cuts, makeup to change your face so no one can recognize you. i think it would be so fun, in a SHL au where she survives the fall of ghost valley, if she acquired a little band of other women and they were like a little traveling theater troupe (yes i’m blatantly stealing a bit from legend of fei, enough that i wonder if this is actually a wuxia trope and i’m just not familiar with the genre enouhg to know this?) as a cover but also sort of for real, but i’m also thinking about a TYK au where she lives and is just minding her own business post canon (perhaps... running an inn.....) but every once in a while someone comes through who she teaches this to.

Chapter 28: Gu Seng

Zhou Zishu’s eyes flew open. He darted a few half-steps to the side, his hand reflexively reaching into his sleeve, murder rising in his heart as it had scarcely ever done—this was the first time an opponent had read him so thoroughly while he knew so little about them. Seeing this, the corners of Ye Baiyi’s mouth turned upwards in a stiff yet mocking smile. He sneered, “If I wanted to do something to you, could you still stand there and speak? That bit of qinggong you showed just now couldn’t have come from any other place. It’s called ‘leave not a trace, soar without bounds’. Siji Manor’s Qin Huaizhang is your shifu, isn’t he? Hmph. Master and disciple both alike. You make a scoundrel out of everyone you meet.”

Zhou Zishu replied coldly, “Master Gu Seng is a martial legend, but my master has long departed this world. Unfilial as I may be, I will not hear him insulted like this.”

Ye Baiyi was shocked. “What,” he cried out, “Qin Huaizhang is dead?”

Zhou Zishu didn’t have a chance to speak before Ye Baiyi’s gaze dimmed and became vacant. Quietly, “Yes, it’s been who knows how many years…how dynasties come and go …seasons never touch the mountain, but a thousand years pass so quickly in the mortal world. Even Qin Huaizhang is gone.”

What... is even going on. Who are these two kids?

I happened to pass by... uh huh sure you did Shen Shen. Oh man. This guy is smart. Hero Zhao, I mean. He hears Ao Laizi's words and sees his glances at Shen Shen and is like... ah... so that is how it is. No problem. There's no problem here!

ZZS: We're nobodies. WKX: Surely we're not! ZZS: -eyeroll-

They've got peacocks at the banquet. That is hilarious.

I just choked on my sandwich. "This prawn is nice, try it." WKX is such a self-satisfied flirt.

Is Ao Laizi going to die? Did I do it again by liking him? Oh yeah, the Glazed Armor. Uh oh the bad wind.... Master of the Unfaithful list, Luo Fumeng?

Shen Shen you are too drunk to teach bb to drink. Go sleep it off.

What is this a meet and greet? How am I supposed to remember everyone. I need a flow chart.

ZZS just fended off a maid by pretending to vomit. Hilarious! And then is immediately entertained by sneaky sneaks running around and having sword fights and chases in the moonlight.

Oh good. The ghosts are here. How do I know? Someone with an echoing voice just told me so. XD

That was weak, bro. Do you even sword? Can you cut a rope? Of course Ao Laizi died. Dang it.

WKX doing all this distracting while ZZS is looking off screen. What is he looking at?

Well. That got dark and creepy. Beauty Ghost seems like a nice jiejie.

Pft. He can cry if he wants to. Men can totally cry, Chengling, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

They stole the Glazed Armor! I can't remember what it is or what it does or why everyone wants it, but it's been stolen! Seriously, all I care about is WKX petting his cat (ZZS) backward while he hisses.

Oh... was it Shen Shen sleep walking? Or uh Song Huairen? The traitor who broke into the secret room.

No... Shen Shen... destroying the one piece you have is totally the right move at the moment. But you know.. of course you don't want to do that, since you are ambitious and greedy.

Was that just WKX? Of course it is. "Our little Chengling..." Awwww WKX is all in. Ok. So did WKX just see the trap, or did he know it was there already? LOL I am so suspicious of him.

Hwat?! "You're a male virgin, is that it?" WKX is hilarious. ZZS is afraid of blood? Hmmm. Interesting. Other people's? His own? All of the above?

Sir. Sir? SIR! that was a perfectly good sleeve! Omg. You do not have subtle bone in your body do you, WKX? "I'll take care of that blood stain for you" slice, "looks like you're a cutsleeve now, ZZS!" 🤣🤣

Ah it is one of my favorite sayings (because of Nie Huaisang lol) "The mantis stalks the cicada...."

Hmm... Did WKX cut ZZS sleeve to leave evidence of him being here where the dead man is? Please pick up that dang sleeve.

Song Huairen was the traitor who stole the thing in the manor, I see.

"I'm just a cicada! I'm afraid of ghosts!" WKX your pickup lines are hilarious.

Whaaaaaaa? WKX just found his... dad? at the Zhao ancestral shrine? Oh... some kind of psychedelic incense? Qin Huaizhang is super cute! I love his smile so much!

This man is not going to have any clothes left if he keeps cutting them off when they get blood on them.

Dun dun Duuuuuuuuun! WKX knows you ZZS. Sorry friend. He has known you.

Qin Huaizhang and his pupils! I always love thinking a lot about Siji manor and how it was, how it started, etc. I really wanted to make an illustration reflecting a nostalgia of these times. More Siji manor rambling below >>>

I am going through a crisis regarding my headcanons about it, though. As in, I can't be satisfied by what the book gives us, and clearly I got too invested in the backstory I made up to just accept giving it up based on some random infos sprinkled here and there. Here are the named characters that I assume are all from Siji:

(Duan Pengju isn't there because, for good balance, I thought it would be nice to have him as an agent recruited later on by ZZS.) QHZ is obviously the founder of the manor, right? According to the book (which gives us very little), he's an oddball, and he could have gone about with only two disciples-- or very young ones... But simultaneously, we do get informations in extra 5 about Siji manor's wide reach and activities. It's hard to believe that ZZS was the oldest disciple (as it is suggested in TYK in that one line where he's said to having been a dashixiong.....); he was 15 by the time of QHZ's death, so could QHZ really have operated alone with an army of tiny kids before that? Sorry, Priest, I will have to fight with canon lines here. I like to imagine that QHZ had associates within Siji-- he was the main founder, but he wasn't working alone. Old Bi, who's mentioned in TYK, chapter 1, could have been one of said associates. Lu Yu....... So Lu Yu is from Qi Ye, and up until recently he was my anchor when it came to justifying my idea that no, ZZS and LJX weren't the sole disciples in Siji Manor (since, in TYK, ZZS says it was "just the two of them"-- but it could be metaphorical!! and Lu Yu being there so early on in Qi Ye could be a proof of that!!). Turns out, the infos we get from Extra 5, once again, make me feel like it's unlikely that it was really literally only ZZS and LJX, but-- Anyway; I did picture Lu Yu as being older than ZZS, probably a shixiong, but it's also mentioned in Qi Ye that he his technique was "worthy of ZZS' teaching"...... which makes it harder to justify him being a shixiong. I mean, some mental gymnastics can probably make it work, and after all this is only a remark coming from Jing Qi's narration, BUT. Bichen suggested he could have been trained later on by ZZS as more people left Siji in disagreement with ZZS' own politics... so why not? I like to think that ZZS was QHZ's only disciple-- the others, shixiongs and shidis, were disciples of QHZ's associates rather than his own direct disciples. Maybe he didn't want any, until he met with ZZS and figured that the kid was worthy enough of being his disciple. LJX would have been taken in by QHZ as an additional trial or training method for ZZS-- because teaching is the best way of putting your own knowledge to the test. ALL OF THIS TO SAY, i do imagine that ZZS and LJX had a peculiar relationship with QHZ that other disciples didn't have, and that it was just the two of them from the moment ZZS was chosen by QHZ to become the next leader. Bi-shu... could have been reluctant at first, then decided to believe in ZZS until years later when he figured he couldn't do TC anymore and it was time for him to go? Anyway--- I could go on for hours bc clearly I have nothing better to do w my life than to muse about some random background storylines LOL

Thanks for reading!

Timely

(DZZS LNY Mini Prompt Fest Day 12, also on ao3.)

.

"I'm back!~"

Zhen Yan perks up. He was hiding indoors from the heat, perched on a table like a little bird, dangling a ball on a string for Yiguo. He was supposed to practise writing while a-niang was out and a-die was asleep, but he wanted to see how high Yiguo could jump.

But now! Something much better: the voice he's waited to hear forever.

Yan'er throws himself through the front door, Yiguo bouncing behind.

"Qin-bobo!"

Utterly unlike the first time they met, Yan'er adopts a collision course and, laughing, Qin Huaizhang crouches to catch him. He smells like medicine and flowers and pulls away after a second, looking at Yan'er more seriously.

"Did you forget what to call me already?" Qin-bobo asks, chiding.

Yan'er's mouth makes a perfect o. He executes his best formal bow. "Shifu!"

"Hen hao." Shifu's face is warm with approval and Yan'er beams. But--

"What about Shixiong?" he asks, peeking around as if Zhou-shixiong could be hiding. He wants to show him how big Yiguo got, and ask about the treats he promised, and play by the river.

"Zishu stayed behind this time, Yan'er, but you'll see him at Siji Shanzhuang."

Yan'er's disappointment is forgotten before the sullen pout can even form.

"But that's a journey for tomorrow. Come along; I saw your a-niang in town. Let's go in first and get the tea started."

At last! Yan'er takes the offered hand and skips along to tea. He can't wait to go home.

龙背

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

i love that wen kexing serves both. he can be prim and delicate when pouring out wine to pay respect and kowtow three times to qin huaizhang. and he can hold a monologue that really has you feeling the weight of his experience and all his years.

i love wkx so much he is so pretentious and absolutely unaware of how weird he comes off as. its adorable. these moments when he tries to give a grandiose impression like some elegant gentleman, refined yet competent, and it just doesnt land as he thought it would be, are so human. hes so cute

Qin Huaizhang Costume Appreciation (Word of Honor)

(Masterpost)

Bonus: his other costume, which we only see in the flashback to the group’s younger days. I admire his lifelong commitment to his guan.
