An official Tai Sui print release was just announced!

It will include multiple color illustrations, and there's also some chibi character stickers :D

Here's a link to the weibo announcement post for more info, as well as the Xi Ping and Zhou Ying print artist and the Bell of Tribulation print artist.

God, Xi Ping and Zhi Xiu have such fantastic chemistry as characters. From the moment they meet, their every interaction is a delight.

Xi Ping drives Zhi Xiu fucking insane (like he does everyone), but Zhi Xiu also clearly gets a kick out of him from jump. He adds him to the selection list just for a laugh after seeing his list of "crimes," and he's openly entertained by his audacity when he talks to Pang Jian and Su Zhun. Zhi Xiu scolds Xi Ping not to be rude out of obligation, but he never actually stops him from back-talking Shed Skins and such later in the novel.

Xi Ping is a fucking menace, but he's his menace. Big, emotional, Way of the Heart-shifting impacts aside, Xi Ping is Zhi Xiu's pet funny little guy. He's the problem that he knows he should be scolding, yet can't help but enjoy. He's like a rascally cat.

And on a serious note, I can't help but think that there's a reason Zhi "do not be a god" Xiu immediately gets along so well with the mortal boy who dares to drink from an immortal's wine pot. Frustrating as Xi Ping is, Zhi Xiu doesn't want to be revered, so of course he gets a kick out of the guy audacious enough to treat him like just another man.

happy birthday to my most beloved ratboy xi shiyong!!!!

Speaking of Lin Chi, he might have launched his three hundred complaints against Xi Ping, but also, Xi Ping single-handedly dragged him kicking and screaming out of his 800(?) year long depression by being, as always, an unignorable nuisance. 

Xi Ping going, "Hey, I need you to do shit for me that should logically take a couple of years to complete, but I need it, like, yesterday, or the world is going kaboom" forced Lin Chi to not only come out of seclusion, but also pick up his forging tools again, fire up that old flame, and get to inventing. And boy did he not disappoint! 

He goes back to doing the thing he used to be passionate about, he becomes better at it!, he challenges himself, even his friendship with Zhi Xiu and Wen Fei is basically a result of Xi Ping giving them a reason to start a "Xi Shiyong is a devil and a rat in a human body" knitting circle. 

And he needs it. 

The enough-to-last-for-ten-years fireworks? Inspired. 

The shapeshifting tool that gets Xi Ping turned into an actual rat? Probably the very last time Lin Chi invented a contraption without an idot-proof failsafe in place. 

Lin Chi might be perpetually pissed off about Xi Ping, but also, he is living again, meeting people, following his passion. He owes Xi Ping his life, even though it kills him in the end, and I am Emotional about that.

Noncanonicals Tournament Round 1, Match 4

Match 4 is between Xi Ping from Tai Sui (shizun/mentor: Zhi Xiu) and Chen Pi Ah Si from DMBJ / The Mystic Nine (shizun/mentor: Er Yuehong)

Propaganda under the cut! (Warning: Propaganda may include spoilers about the characters and their media)

Xi Ping:

They are certainly one of the most important people in each other's lives. Zhi Xiu gives Xi Ping a piece of his sword spirit. Xi Ping saves Zhi Xiu. Xi Ping convinces Zhi Xiu to cultivate his own spiritual plant in rebellion of the spiritual mountains while he's trying to break through to being a shed skin cultivator.

Chen Pi Ah Si:

Listen. We know canonically Chen Pi is unhinged over his shifu's wife, but he's just as unhinged and Normal(tm) about Er Ye as he is about Ya Tou. He ripped a dude's face off for saying that Chen Pi might overtake Er Ye one day. He is the yandere flavour of a shizunfucker and you know it, and they deserve representation in this tournament as well

recently finished Tai Sui and here's a bunch of doodles/sketches from while I was reading it :]

[i-guess-im-into-this-now]

Shen Qingqiu: Some people are so beautiful that they are irresistible to both men and women... it's not gay to be attracted to them. There is literally nothing else you can do.

Xie Lian: You are so right. Or if you happen to have to kiss them to exchange spiritual energy, it doesn't mean you have feelings for one another.

Wei Wuxian: True. Also sometimes guy friends just need to get naked together and touch one another and make each other climax. Just normal friend stuff.

Shen Qingqiu: ....

Xie Lian: ....

Shen Qingqiu: ....exactly. You guys get it.

xi ping may be the youngest ascended spirit in history but you won't find a single person in xuanyin who will brag about that

[evilvillainapologist]

Zhi Xiu: Sorry, I know you all are here to complain about my disciple, but actually, my office hours are from 7:00 to 7:05 am every new moon. If you want me to listen to your complaints, draw a number. 

Lin Chi, holding numbers one to 299: I hope you're ready for this, pal.

"This is exactly what Jiang Cheng has been dreaming for...ah... JCs dream that never came true"

[lavender-phoenix-flames]

The posts about jc wanting to raise sizhui as his own doesn't only frustrates me but it is also hilarious cuz this man can't even raise jin ling without being physically and verbally abusive, he seethes at the very mention of a wen and you think he will raise wen yuan as his own cuz he like a son to wei wuxian so by your logic he is sizhui's 'uncle' now.

What a cruel joke are playing on a child whose whole family got slaughtered by the very seige lead by jiang cheng and the levels of suffering his Xian gege had to go through cuz of jc. Sizhui is polite but that doesn't mean he would tolerate someone like jc.
