#so: a quick study but it’s sqx

[teleport-warning]

A couple of things: - I’ve been very busy lately, and this, coupled with my bad neck/arm issues, has made me a slow snail. BUT. I needed to paint something that’s been asking to be painted for a while now, so here we are with this quick and rough study

- It’s Shi Qingxuan. Again. You know the drill. I mentioned before that I plan a short series of SQX paintings - this is the second-to-last (the conclusion will be more cheerful, I promise!)

- For many reasons, I don’t really like SQX’s ending. However, I do think they learn to make the most out of it, and that they find a measure of comfort in being finally able to have a say in their life. They get to make choices, for better or worse. I don’t think it’s an easy transition though. And I wanted to portray one of those moments that we don’t get to see in the book, before we meet them again, and they’ve somewhat adjusted to their new life.

So yeah, sorry for the long-winded explanation. I hope you like it 💙

▐ 「 DEISCENSION. 」 —  semi-selective / sporadically active / mutuals-only / multi-verse

unaffiliated shi qingxuan from tian guan ci fu. written by lain (they/them, 21+). pfp & header by meru90. currently on semi-hiatus!

﹄ her personality was like the wind; fair and free, going wherever it pleases. 

a study on how living in eternal sunshine blinds you to the shadows; on the wonders of a world too big for your hands to hold; on a life that will never be worth the prices paid; on how to fall without grace and find a way to stand again.

personals do not interact! carrd linked above, in the process of updating info.

you do not have to be familiar with tgcf to interact. i have various verses available and will happily discuss how to best interact if you’re unsure!

and then there’s the usual: i won’t tolerate ooc bigotry of any kind. if your blog promotes ped0philia, nonc0n, hom0phobia, and/or transph0bia, it’s an insta-block. there’s a difference between having fiction which contains these topics vs using them for a shock factor; what i look for is the understanding that your fictional scenarios are someone else’s nonfictional experiences. 

﹄ shi qingxuan. lady wind master / the young lord who pours wine. ( VERSES )

genderfluid, transfemme (she/they/he) | ~400, give or take | bisexual | boundless and free

lord wind master is boundlessly talented, lord wind master is funny and carefree, lord wind master is kind and righteous, lord wind master is aged sweet sixteen. truer words have certainly never been spoken of a god such as shi qingxuan before (with the exception of being aged sweet sixteen-- but that’s about capturing the spirit of things, of course)! a kind, generous, and righteous soul, shi qingxuan is known to many and beloved by all. or something like that. maybe not exactly like that. her peers flock to her in times of fair weather, but it can’t be said they would be so quick to stick by her side. but that’s alright; she has a sensible older brother, an unflappable best friend, and all the luck in the world to keep her from going astray. that’s not to say she doesn’t try to handle her own affairs. she makes every effort possible to earn the awe and worship placed at her feet by her worshippers. it’s just, well... lady wind master has a long way to go with truly understanding what it means to have a fate as wondrous as hers.

*note: i default to writing sqx before the black water arc as well as with using she/her. if you’d like to interact with her as she is during and after black water arc, just let me know!
