We have an ao3 collection for works created for this event. The collection will open mid-July for submissions, but the works will remain hidden until August 28th.

the bright moon, the new green leaves, the scorching fire... All which Song Lan can feel comfortable with, in a loving hug.

this isn’t meant to be definite! I’m mostly posting this so that @thewickling​ can take a look and see if there’s anything helpful in here while she finishes crafting her frankly incredibly referenced timeline. or so we can debate finer points lmao, though she definitely has the upper hand on research.

here’s what I have put together, though the dates used are re: Lan Wangji’s age, not in relation to Wei Wuxian’s death. Things I’m unsure about are marked with (?), and there are a lot of events that could take place in a range of dates that I’ve kind of just stuck in there for the sake of having them marked. I haven’t cross-referenced this in a while, and it’s working largely off of memory ;;; I just edited a bunch of this on the fly in the text editor HAHA so this may be off in several ways. I may eventually edit this into something more cohesive, but for now. have this mess.

Notes:

Mass Graves” = Yiling Burial Mound Jinlin Tai = Koi/Carp Tower I’m using both novel and audio drama as canon, plus some assorted bits of memory re: mxtx interviews

*Yueyang Chang massacre is stated to take place 10 years prior to the present, which would put it at year 24, but Jin Guangshan must be alive for at least a time afterwards—Jin Guangshan’s death is stated to take place 11 years prior to the present, which puts it at year 23. I’m prioritizing JGS’s death, because Lan Wangji describes the tragedy of Xiao Xingchen as taking place 1-2 years after Wei Wuxian’s death (being bedridden, he cannot pursue the issue), thus it makes sense that YYC massacre takes place earlier than stated.

Two brothers, one heart.

😍😍😍😍

Look for example, what the satirical magazine l'Esquella de la Torratxa made to mock the bizarre design of Milà's house!

Like many architects of the time, Gaudí designed everything that was supposed to be in the house. Outside, inside, furniture.

but perhaps tired of the curves of art nouveau (and of people whispering behind their back that their buildings looked like something a pastry chef could create), as soon as the fashion sensibilities changed and Art Nouveu was no longer in fashion, they renovated with great ardour and absolute indifference towards the works of art so unique and suitable for THEIR houses.

Just look at what they did to Casa Batlló... Gaudí would be spinning so hard in his grave if he saw, he would screw right through his crypt of Sagrada Familia and straight into the metro.

So... lots of ladies had killer vanity tables like that one.

(And they are so precious!)

The devil(god) wears prada...

Luo Yunxi is made to be on beautiful magazine covers.

City on fire, ran over by demons and controlled by a dark god? Sure, take a good picture, print it, and let all the cowering subjects know who is in charge now!

Using this database, you can access the names and biographical information of real people across Chinese historical periods and dynasties. You can go on here and find the names (not just given names but courtesy names and other sorts of honorary aliases, depending on the period) of thousands of real individuals, though it's almost entirely men in the older dynasties. Very few women.
