Till the End of the Moo

Here's a little summary of Tantai Jin's outfits (I didn't even cover HALF of them, by the way!!! This devil is an absolute fashionista!)

Since I last made a post about tteotm, and a stupid typo made me laugh SO MUCH, I thought I had to do something with it.

Here's the whole picture:

Behold, the water demon!!

I always found it hilarious, in the very tense, very atmospheric scene of the night hunt where Wei Wuxian and friends are invited to participate...

And the actually frightful monster underwater is...

HAIR

A whooooole lot of loose hair!!! Swimming all by itself, tangling deadly on the poor fishermen and drowning the population...

Yes, yes, I know it's supposed to be algae or something like that. But can you blame me thinking it's hair when... Do you see everyone's heads in these series??

Poor Lan Qiren, I don't know how he survived having Wei Wuxian as a nephew-in-law!

Making old master Lan suffer is one of the most enjoyable things in this fandom. In fics, in post, in fanart... More times than I can count, really!

And might be because I also greatly enjoy jadecest, where giving LQR a qi deviation is almost necessary rot the ship to set sail... (like when you break a champagne bottle against the hull to christian it!)

Anyways. Think happy thoughts, grandmaster Lan!

Want to see more attempted Lan Qirecides?

Really, Li Susu. Really.

His Imperial Highness JUST told you about the importance of keeping this one dude alive, and you start bashing him and rambling about how much you want to kill him???

Because I tells you, these are all paraphrased lines from this scene in canon! Li Susu really has no chill XD

Sorry, Song-daozhang! Keep searching...

Yi City is such a fascinating arc. To this day I maintain that, if no one was able to point Song Lan in the right direction to Xiao Xingchen in the canon scenes, it is for one of these three reasons:

Option 1: Yi City is a massive community, and even something like a local blind cultivator who helps with night hunts isn't known to the general public. Puts Xue Yang massacring everyone later on in a more awesome perspective.

Option 2: Song Lan wasn't in Yi City when he asked, A-Qing just happened to be in a marketplace of a village far away enough from Yi City that the locals haven't heard of Xiao Xingchen and his exploits. How long away was it? Who knows!

And option 3: The man was LYING. He knows well enough who the local blind cultivator is, but he and the other citizens don't want to tell this sour stranger for... reasons? Perhaps he brings trouble. Perhaps he will cause the very useful resident supernatural pest control team to go away, or perhaps they will fight...

And yes, be honest, the townsfolk are DEFINITELY going to gossip about the two young men living together in that dingy yizhuang, how quaint, they look like young parents with that small child, don't they? Ui, and this dark daozhang, who is he? Why does he look like a husband searching for his missing wife? What kind of drama is brewing behind the scenes here?? Ah, but if he gets involved, won't the good daozhang or his "friend" get in trouble? What if they stop ridding us of the yao bats who swarm from the mountains now and then? Ui, no, no... better keep our eyes down, our nose clean, and our mouth shut. No, daozhang, sorry! We don't know anyone like that, no...

Yi City, my beloved!

Behold, Lan Lichen!!

Drunk Lans are my favourite brand of Lans. The jades in particular, always so solemn and peerless and up in a pedestal, are extremely fun to depict in such a way.

Jin Guangblob really has the patience of a saint...

This silly comic was inspired by a hilarious post with the typo Lan Lichen, I could NOT not do a blob post about it.

Lan Ribbons!

Excellent as a clan symbol, good for symbolizing restraint, very handy when in dire need of extra rope and an absolute must in Lan romantic exploits.

In honour of the other 337 people who share good ideas with me...

Xue Yang is not letting go of that booty.

A-Qing is mad...

...but Xiao Xingchen actually likes it! >w<

The Jiang Sect!!!

The last of the five great sects to be introduced in the blob-verse, and one of the funnest.

Compared to the stiff Lan, the filthy rich Jin, the moustache-twirling evil Wen and the Nie cacti, the Jiang sect seem simply a bunch of grapes living their best life surrounded by beautiful loti and lakes full of fish.

Laid-back, happy-go-lucky, slightly undisciplined, utterly uncivilized in the eyes of the stricter sects... Is it a wonder, how much Wei Ying could thrive under their guidance?

I mean, look at this!!!! CQL, sects are paying homage to the dead fallen at war, and suddenly Wei Wuxian appears on the roof! All the sect disciples perfectly aligned, look at the Lan, you could build a whole railway bridge on those square shoulders and stiff backs...

And then you look to the right, and there we have our vine of grapes, happily gossiping away at the sight of their old friend.

Always here for the HMS TantaiXiao!

Never did I enjoy Till the End of the Moon so much until I watched it from the deck of a ship filled with pinning, hidden admiration, extremely homoerotic battles, teasing, self-sacrifice and feelings so deep they actually change the blueprint of a heartless demonic vessel!

So, so, here's yet another pic of Tantai Jin having a heart attack because Xiao Lin is out of sight for more than three minutes >w<

The Mysterious Buff Arm is gaining mobility! And he indeed likes to point at things! Will Wei Blobxian and Lan Blobji EVER reach their destination, with such an excitable compass?

The hand position is courtesy of this very useful post. Thank you for the anatomy references, sorry I blotched it so thoroughly!

To quote Midna from Twilight Princess: Am I so beautiful you have no words left?

How is this series not categorized as a throuple danmei, I will never understand. Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng looked ready to take him to the altar IMMEDIATELY.

Today's post is in honour to @redxblueihateloveyou who made the ABSOLUTE BEST edit video for Mysterious Lotus Casebook (even though I fear it got struck down by copyrights...) which I still enjoy to hell and back to this day.

Some highlights!

Did Jin Ling ever know that the one who chose his courtesy name was the infamous Yiling Laozu?

Beware of the angry grape! He has his mother's temper!

Zidian is and always will be to me a scary cracking purple thunder snake. No discussion about that.

This portrait of the Sangdu Shengshou comes as a peace offering to JC fans after I made a less than flattering depiction a couple days ago. What depiction, you ask?

A few gods! Painted faithfully exactly as found in a temple somewhere...

Very nice! Very accurate!

Why does this feel so familiar...?

Ok. So, let's say we have no idea what a core is, what cultivation is, and we need to explain the ordeal Jiang Cheng went through.

For the analogy to work, of course, it has to be a non-vital organ that will be sorely missed if removed, which is a source of pride and power, and upon which a (man) cultivator's social position depends.

Well...

Behold, the biggest dick in the Jianghu!

Talk about Crafty Tricks! Through some well placed light and shadow paper, Wei Wuxian can manoeuvre his way into winning each of those cultivation tournaments because of his skill and creativity.

Lan Wangji might lose his mind...

This whole madness is the entire fault of @orpheusilver who raised an extremely interesting conversation point about Jiang Cheng's core transplant, and upon which I entertained my sleepless brain a bit a couple days ago.

(Thank you!!!! Keep being awesome!!)
