@mymusehowls I actually drew Nie Mingjue braiding Meng Yao's hair a couple months ago, so I decided to switch it up and let Meng Yao braid Nie Mingjue's this time!

Dealing with all that hair must take forever, so they may as well go over morning reports while fussing around with it u.u

#mdzs #nieyao #nie mingjue #jin guangyao #meng yao #nmj #jgy #i have so many feelings about the nie braids #i love shit like that #such a visual and codified way of showing belonging? the fact that you'd actually have to teach a SKILL to form that level of belonging?#like SOMEONE had to teach meng yao how to braid his hair that way. someone had to say 'you're one of us and you get to show the world that'#what point did he receive that permission/instruction?#and then it would have become a ROUTINE #a routine which he KEPT UP #even as jin guangyao. even as a spy.#and like? what was that meant to say?#what did it say to himself? what did it say to anyone who saw it? was anyone else allowed to see it?#all this coming from jgy who is never less than six schemes deep at any given time?#(and i don't care if this is show exclusive canon and really only '''''canon''''''' at that i am obsessed with it it's mine now)#this rat who is constantly trying to claw out some sort of safe home for himself - what does it MEAN TO HIM I WANT TO KNOW #I WANT TO DISSECT HIM #anyway #nie hair braids #i really really really love them #though on the flip side i hate drawing them with a burning passion and jgy should always have his dumb little hat on to spare me from it
