#the fact that li hua was so close to seeing xiao qiao hurts me on another level

[xinyuehui]

⸺ It's been hard, I know.

[glorious-umbrella]

Here’s another one! (b/c I got no original content/talent to contribute to the fandom LOL OTL)

Quan Zhi Gao Shou fan cover/Chinese adaption of Rain of Mind by Shuuhei Kita.

[半道英雄] means Hero who is halfway there. This song is just so nice/cute haha. Though, unlike the previous one, the video’s definitely MAJOR SPOILER ALERT. Because these are ppl drawn at their end-game teams. yeah. (rip me when I found this) For fun translation under cut of a comment on the video that points out the little easter eggs--song is not translated (I don’t got the fluency for that). Spoiler so bad. Last warning.

Translations tell me this is 無罪之罪’s art. I need to find this person’s art blog, not even kidding. Seriously the art for this is amazing??? 

Commenter 姚德暉 pointed out that if you look closely you can see tiny details in the characters that help identify them. Considering the fact that like 60% of these ppl haven’t even been introduced yet at the current novel translations, you’ll be lost if you haven’t been spoiled by say, the Wikia (rip me), or already finished the Chinese vers.

In order of appearance (not a word for word translation--I’ve added and deleted some stuff):

Ye Xiu (Excellent Era): smoking, the card

Wang Jiexi (Tiny Herb): unsymmetrical eyes (right is bigger)

Yu Wenzhou (Blue Rain): N/A

Han Wenqing (Tyranny): that fierce facial expression tho (somehow notable to commenter)

Zhou Zekai (Samsara): N/A

Jiang Botao (Samsara): N/A

Fang Minghua (Samsara): ring on right hand (I assume this is relevant later somehow? Don’t tell me.)

Sun Xiang (Samsara): 3 fingers (idk? maybe indicates 3 teams)

Du Ming (Samsara): love letter

Li Xuan (Void | right): N/A

Yu Yuce (Void | left): his character Carved Ghost is a girl

Zhang Xinjie (Tyranny): jacket zipper pulled to the top, his watch

Lin Jingyan (Tyranny): glasses (idk? most fanart of him, he’s got glasses), gentle/elegant appearance (??? notable to commenter for some reason)

Song Qiying (Tyranny): N/A

Zhang Jiale (Tyranny | right): 1 finger (idk? is this notable? could indicate previous team, could be his goal to be champ), red rose tattoo (previous Hundred Blossoms)

Sun Zheping (Heavenly Sword | left): hand injury (right), red butterfly tattoo (previous Happy)

Lou Guanning (Heavenly Sword): glass of wine (indicating wealth)

Wen Kebei (Heavenly Sword): N/A

Xiao Shiqin (Thunderclap): chess pieces (one of the "Four Master Tacticians"), glasses

Chu Yunxiu (Misty Rain): her character Windy Rain is a guy

Ye Xiu (Happy): smoking, blue butterfly, only one whose in-game character Lord Grim looks different than the player--he’s likely modeled after Su Muqiu

Huang Shaotian (Blue Rain): N/A

Zheng Xuan (Blue Rain): biting something (commenter unsure if this counts or is relevant)

Song Xiao (Blue Rain): N/A

Lu Hanwen (Blue Rain): also biting candy, tho in this case it’s probably just to indicate his young age, along with the bunny hair tie

Liu Xiaobie (Tiny Herb): earphones (apparently relevant later)

Gao Yingjie (Tiny Herb): N/A

Yuan Baiqing (Tiny Herb): N/A

Xu Bin (Tiny Herb): N/A 

Dai Yanqi (Thunderclap): N/A

Fang Xuecai (Thunderclap): N/A

Shu Kexin (Misty Rain): N/A

Shu Keyi (Misty Rain): N/A

Li Hua (Misty Rain): N/A

Yang Cong (301 Degrees): N/A

Bai Shu (301 Degrees): luggage (previously from England)

Yu Feng (Hundred Blossoms): flowers 

Zou Yuan (Hundred Blossoms): flowers 

Qiu Fei (New Excellent Era): N/A

Zhao Yuzhe (Wind Howl): N/A

Tang Hao (Wind Howl): N/A

Tang Rou (Happy | left): 3 fingers up (一挑三: 1v3 is strongly associated with Tang Rou in the Chinese fandom, probably relevant later)

Su Mucheng (Happy | middle): N/A

Chen Guo (Happy | right): blue butterfly, idk why flowers tho (maybe relevant later?)

Mo Fan (Happy | far left): hood

An Wenyi (Happy | mid left): N/A

Qiao Yifan (Happy | mid right): cup/water

Wei Chen (Happy | far right): smoking, thin mustache (lookie how old the guy is haha)

Luo Ji (Happy | left): books, pens, fancy vest (student)

Fang Rui (Happy | middle): N/A

Bao Rongxing (Happy | right): everything XD--long blond hair, tattoos, happy smile

Ye Xiu (final shot): still smoking (LOL), blue butterfly, championship trophy

Su Muqiu (no team): umbrella, back (indicates passing)

(Holy shit what a big cast...)

You’ll notice that in addition to the team uniforms:

the Samsara ppl all have the same tooth necklace (except Sun Xiang)

the Void Ghostblade duo share a ring necklace

Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping are together because both are from Hundred Blossoms

Heavenly Sword ppl all wear loose yellow ties

Tiny Herb all wear a beret except for Wang Jiexi, who has a fancy top hat--probably indicates he’s the most notable

Samsara, Blue Rain, and Tiny Herb are the only teams with special backgrounds (maybe Tyranny)

Can I just say I really, really love the in-game character designs? Even though they’re really different from the official one, the designs are all on point, esp Lord Grim--I’m kinda unsatisfied with Lord Grim’s appearance in the animation because he should be colorful, at least, if the animators don’t want to do mismatched equipment--his colors are so dull when they’re supposed to be so colorful it hurts the eyes (刺眼).
