DFQC & XLH | They deserve to be the happiest in all three of the realms!

@clj-fanweek Aug 25: morning + night

Ever since Xiao Lanhua could remember, she feared the Memory Loss River. Just the name alone was enough to frighten someone. It was forbidden for lower fairies like herself to cross without permission, and because of that it seemed like a dangerous place. Though it bore many names among different tribes of fairies and the people of Haishi, each variation meant the same thing. The Memory Loss River was a river of forgetting. There was one day, long ago, when her master had to cross the river. It was an order from the Fairy Emperor—though what her mission was, Siming could not say. Xiao Lanhua had wept and wept when she heard her shifu was crossing that dreaded river, begged her to stay and not forget her. “Silly girl, how could I forget you?” Siming had chided, wiping the tears from Xiao Lanhua’s cheeks. “That’s not why they named it that way.”

The CLJ brainrot is so real, I've been inspired to get back into drawing after more than 10 years so I can draw my blorbos.

@clj-fanweek Day 5: Lies + Truth

@clj-fanweek 🌺 Day 3 - Modern AU

Does anyone remember that tweet about Xiao Lanhua and Dongfang Qingcang embodying the Florist/Tattoo Artist trope?

The evening of a grand and joyful holiday on the occasion of the return of the Moon Lord Supreme after 500 years of its absence. His beloved XLH, his family and his people have been waiting faithfully waiting for him all this time, and here DFQC is at home.

What if becoming Moon Queen meant Xiao Lanhua had additional powers?

I'll back it up a bit to explain my thought process.

After I read this post by @oleanderedits about Dongfang Qingcang and all the sun imagery in his styling and his powers, I got thinking. Particularly, this line stuck out to me.

It gives the impression that the Moon Supreme is the Sun - that which gives the Moon it’s light - and the Moon Tribe is the Moon - that which reflects the Sun’s power. For 30,000 years, the Moon tribe was as shadowed as the New, and with his return they were edging toward a Full.

It got me thinking about the fact that Dongfang Qingcang is called Moon Supreme, but he doesn't have any moon-related powers. Why is that?

Of course, the out-of-universe explanation of that is in the novel, he was the leader of the demon tribe but they were unable to depict that in the show.

But let's think about it in-universe. If the Moon Supreme is indeed the Moon Tribe's Sun, maybe the Moon Queen is the Moon itself. The Moon, which reflects the Sun's light and shines down upon the Moon Tribe.

As such, what if the Moon Queen would have Moon-related powers to compliment her husband's Sun powers?

I just think it'd be neat if the Moon Queen could do things related to the tides especially. Control them, manipulate large bodies of water, navigate the currents, etc. Take her out on your boat trip if you want a smooth journey!

Now, as for Xiao Lanhua...
