Rulan, after JW Waterhouse’s Cleopatra.

I decided that this would be titled “Rulan” rather than “Jin Ling”, with the thought that the setting of the painting, somewhere in Koi Tower, is one where people are more likely to call him Jin Rulan. I also considered titling it “(New) Sect Leader Jin” but I thought that would be confusing, and “Rulan” better parallels the original painting title.

Initial sketch is here!

Guess who is finally done with the animatic?

Please do check it out, it’s based on the MDZS AD which did such a great job with this scene. It took me a month and more than 100 drawings to complete, I feel like I ran a marathon.

The translation is by @suibiansubs , please turn on the cc to see it.

Had fun drawing it, honestly I love this extra and the AD so much I would actually want to make a scene where wangxian throws rings on the market, but I don’t think I’ll manage to do it rn 🤣

As a bonus, I can show you the draft drawings for the animatic, not like the final result looks cleaner than the draft but I always love to compare the initial idea to the final:

Then Wei Wuxian realizes Lan Wangji actually means to cook for him, and after some banter, Lan Wangji admits he already has cooked for Wei Wuxian before. Wei Wuxian is overwhelmed with joy and kisses Lan Wangji, who gets Wei Wuxian to admit that he's burned pots before. Lan Wangji promises to cook again for Wei Wuxian, who thanks him in advance.

💙 Bitter Plants Bearing Sweet Fruit

Summary: Patience is a bitter plant that bears sweet fruit. Lan Wangji doesn't know why Wei Wuxian is so interested in traveling to a city at the very edge of the civilized world. After Yunping, what secrets could possibly be left? But the desert remembers many things. Kay's comments: I finally had the time to dive into this story and it's as good as I hoped! Kryal is such a master at Wangxian characterization and the slow unravelling of the story was wonderful; I was hooked from the beginning, wondering where it would go and I loved the ending. I loved the mystery of it and the world-building and exploring new parts of the world. The end-notes were once again highly entertaining and you can really see that the world-building is a passion project. Excerpt: “Waaaait.” Grinning, he skipped ahead a few steps and turned slightly to peer up into Lan Wangji’s eyes. “Lan Zhan!” he exclaimed, mock-shocked. “Do you mean to tell me that you always stay at that inn because the proprietor doesn’t like you?” “…Mn.” That was unmistakably sheepishness. Wei Wuxian laughed, swinging their joined hands back and forth between them like a child as they walked. “That poor woman! Although… it still seems odd. I can’t imagine why someone would dislike you so much, especially if she only knew stories about you to begin with.”

the dream of the fisherman's husband

by luckymarrow

E, 5k, Wangxian

Summary: “Really? Are you fucking with me? Once for yes, twice for no.” Two taps. Wei Ying scrambles from his desk and over to the tank, presses his face right against the glass. “Was Wen Ning right?” he whispers. His breath fogs the glass. “Are you our new cephalopod overlords?” Once again, the little blue and white octopus taps twice against the glass. Wei Ying goggles. Then it taps a sequence against the glass. But Wei Ying has worked on enough expedition ships to know Morse code, or at least the most important code of all—SOS. This little octopus needs help.

Kay's comments: This story is a remix of celerydragon's story "all wrapped up in you (cold arms so warm)", which I loved, and I love this story as well! Here we have marine biologist Wei Ying who, unbeknownst to him, ended up with his high school crush turned octopus Lan Zhan in his lab. There's pining, there's monsterfucking and human fucking - what's not to love? Also features intern Mo Xuanyu, who figures out that the answer to bring Lan Zhan back into his human form is obviously a true love's kiss. Just brilliant.
