Baby Dragonji x Foxxian from 2021- Pt 2

No Strings Attached

G, 3k, wangxian

Summary: "Who can I go to for the sake of righting the Jin sect’s wrongs, Senior Lan? There’s no one, and that’s why I fled to the Burial Mounds.” “All the same,” Lan Qiren says, looking around at the dank cave and then at the child nodding towards sleep in Wei Wuxian’s lap, “you can hardly stay here, Wei Wuxian. I saw that your people were trying to farm on the slope behind the forest, but I doubt their efforts will bear fruit. What will you eat?” “When people are hungry enough,” Wei Wuxian says distantly, “they will eat anything.” __ After Wei Wuxian's flight from the camp at Qiongqi Dao, Lan Qiren visits the Burial Mounds and discovers that he has bigger problems than his nephew's broken heart. Naturally, this changes things.

Mojo's comments: This was so satisfying. In which lqr comes to the burial mounds, figures everything out, and then works to put it right.

Our team has been working on this project since December 2021 for an anticipated release in May 2022; but the general state of the world this year slowed the process down, and delayed the release to this October.

Special thanks to @wwjgyd for the beautiful design work, to @suzapallito for the cover art, and to all the creators: this project would never have been possible without you.

For readers awaiting the print-ready version, you can download the perfect-bound version or the ringbound version for easier access in the kitchen. You can also use this file to print each page individually.

SiZhui & JingYi: oh no! why are they so smOl?! 

SUGAR, SPICE, and EVERYTHING NICE.

I mean, look at the difference between how he looks in the scene where he's weeping all over Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen or when he's shown attending to his duties, vs how he looks in the outfit at the end or that black and grey one from when he's paying the storyteller to talk about the Yiling Laozhu and not just because they're different designs of clothing.

As someone who finds and tailoring as the most important aspect to what i make, his oversized clothing offend me so much that I’m always like there’s no way the costumers would do this without a purpose. Like everyone else’s robes are tailored and lxc even has his robes sitting nice and fit around his man tiddies and then you have nhs with those SLEEVES that drive me insane from how unfitted they are

SCREAM

And don’t get me started on how LONG his robes are. His hems are almost floor length while the rest have theirs cut much shorter.

But yeah, his sleeves and hem and shoulder seams and everything...

It’s cause the robe makers in Qinghe only know how to work with Da Ge’s type of body so they’re like

“Aw fuck do we just scale it down? No this isn’t working. He’s still swimming in them! Eh, Whatever he’s always wearing his brothers robes anyways, he’s fine with it”

This is of course pretty much identical to one of Lan Xichen's two Nie robes, you know the gorgeous one with the same pattern in shades of green, and I can easily imagine that they were originally made to be a matching set for Nielan (whether as a couple or as sworn brothers). And an interesting detail: if you look at the lapels and the sleeves, you'll see there are no trimmings, but there are the narrow black stripes about 10 cm or so from the edge? I am speculating here, but could those be the original trimming? In which case the robe would have been altered to fit Huaisang better by folding the extra length at the sleeves and the width at the lapels out and sewing it there instead of just cutting the excess fabric off. Thus, the fit is actually not that bad, but yes, I am pretty sure this was one of Nie Mingjue's robes.

On the contrary, when Nie Huaisang is wearing what are clearly his own robes to begin with, the tailoring is, in my opinion, good:

His robes are not as form-fitting as these fine examples...

...but that is more of a stylistic difference, and due to the Nie preference for heavier, stiffer fabrics and more layers, which results in a "bulkier" look. It can also bee seen in the robes Meng Yao wears:

So yeah, the point... It seems that after Nie Mingjue's qi deviation/disappearance, Nie Huaisang takes to wearing his brother's robes, at least on occasion. Why? Perhaps he does it first to alleviate his grief? To feel his da-ge is still close? And, come to think of it, at what point does it become clear to him that Nie Mingjue is actually dead? There is no body, NMJ just disappears, so Nie Huaisang probably keeps hoping, for some time at least, that he might, just might, be alive still.

But anyway, I think the points made by op and in the previous comments are very good, and that as the years go by and Nie Huaisang lays out his plans, he keeps turning up in Nie Mingjue's robes just for those reasons. To play the role of clueless, harmless, good for nothing younger brother still missing his da-ge (because some of those robes will surely be identified). But also to keep reminding the quilty ones and perhaps to throw them off balance and to make them slip, to discreetly assess their possible reactions and gather clues. To find out the truth and to carry out his vengeance.

Mid-Autumn Festival 2021! How did those rabbits get on the moon in the first place?

💀💚💜❤️ a mission in the living realm!

(sangcheng bleach au: pt 1 | twt thread )

for the first time in years there is a reported sighting of the elusive fugitive, Wei Wuxian! having proven their worth, JC & NHS were able to convince the other captains to let 6th Division handle his “retrieval”…

they find him! he is… chill? doing groceries in flipflops & sweatpants? aunties in the neighborhood know him? he doesn’t look anything like the deadly criminal they were told about, who let his shinigami powers be corrupted to become a monster who devours innocent souls.

he is very happy to see them, and when they tell him they are actually there to apprehend him, his only answer is this:

In your Chinese studies you’ve probably learned: 红色、橙色、黄色、绿色、蓝色、紫色、灰色、白色、黑色、咖啡色、粉红色

But there are so many beautiful colors out there! Let’s learn some more. These are color terms I’ve come across outside Chinese class.

In general you can indicate a light shade with 浅 and a dark shade with 深. I have also seen 墨 for dark and 淡 for light, but when I Googled various color terms, there were more results for 浅 and 深 than 淡 and 墨.

I spent way too much time messing with HTML to color the text to match (except for the shades of white).

褐色 hèsè - brown

橘黄色 júhuángsè - orange

奶油色 nǎiyóusè - cream

金黄色 jīnhuángsè - gold color

朱红色 zhūhóngsè - vermilion

米色 mǐsè - beige

棕色 zōngsè - brown

青色 qīngsè - cyan / blue-green

灰白 huībái - light gray / ash-colored

蔚蓝 wèilán - azure / sky blue

纯白 chúnbái - pure white

雪白 xuěbái - snow white

洁白 jiébái - spotlessly white / pure white

漆黑 qīhēi - pitch-black

铜色 tóngsè - copper

乌黑 wūhēi - jet-black / dark

靛色 diànsè - indigo (color)

金色 jīnsè - golden / gold (color)

银色 yínsè - silver (color)

Here are some single characters I’ve seen as well. Some of these are commonly used in names, like 彤 and 丹.

彤 tóng - red

丹 dān - red / pellet / powder / cinnabar

缇 tí - orange-red silk / orange-red colored

赤 chì - red / scarlet / bare / naked

碧 bì - green jade / bluish green / blue / jade

翠 cuì - bluish-green / green jade

皓 hào - bright / luminous / white (esp. bright white teeth of youth or white hair of old age)

颢 hào - bright / white

玄 xuán - black / mysterious

彤, 丹, and 缇 are all described as a red-orange color. I’m not really sure of the difference, so I just made them all the same shade. I’m also unclear on exact distinction between 褐色 and 棕色. Image search results certainly suggest that they are used differently. Not sure how 咖啡色 fits in either.
