#radiantnewyear

Hi Radiant Emperor folks!

To start the new year with a bang and get the creative energy flowing, feel invited to take part in a mini-fan event run by me and @ayegomorrah:

Radiant New Year! 🧧🎇

The Chinese New Year is approaching and you're invited to treat it as an opportunity to think about how the Radiant Emperor characters would celebrate this or other festivals! If you would like to create something for the event, we suggest the prompts "reunion", "celebration" and "snake", as it will be the Year of the Snake 🐍

And if you have something cooking on the brain back burner already - bring it in! What better way to start a new year than a little airing of the WIP folder?

Either way, don't forget to tag your creations with #radiantnewyear! 🥳

Happy Lunar New Year! Here's my humble contribution to the Radiant New Year event for the prompt "reunion".

- pre-canon mutual pining
