Headcanon: you know that scene in CQL where Nie Mingjue compliments the Twin Heroes and they fucking light up? In both CQL and MDZS during Sunshot, he does this to Jiang Cheng all the time. He just seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't let an accomplishment pass by unmentioned. "Good job shoring up our left flank, Jiang-zongzhu." "Yunmeng Jiang are true examples of surviving through adversity." Jiang Cheng can't spend as much time flustered as he might naturally do since he has, y'know, a war to prosecute, but I've no doubt he's internally screaming.

Heartcanon: I just think... Nie Mingjue and Jiang Cheng bonding over dogs. Does the Unclean Realm have a kennel? They do now!

Gutcanon: Can't remember if this went down a similar way in MDZS as CQL, which is clearer in my mind, but I think NMJ's hard line stance on the Wen remnants had a strong influence on Jiang Cheng's subsequent stance in that regard, after his first tentative attempt to be like "they did help us". Obviously there were a lot of elements in play there, but I bet that was a significant one.

Junkcanon: I tend to be pretty neutral on sexy use of Zidian, but one of the very first Twitter fics I was given had NMJ tied up in front of Jiang Cheng with Zidian purring around his throat & that has stayed with me. I see a big man, I want to put him on his knees, Nie Mingjue is no exception, & I think Jiang Cheng would be entirely conscious of what a gift that is.

Spleencanon: Contrary to MXTX's assertions, Nie Mingjue is a perfectly competent artist, that's just not where his primary talents lie. Jiang Cheng doesn't use fans the way Nie Huaisang does, so Nie Mingjue paints him a landscape to hang on his wall.

uhhh lord I know they're out there XD OH! (thank u salt tag for reminding me of my own thoughts) lxc as an air-head himbo :')

i know some of it's in good fun and all but I've seen enough bad takes on it that I'm just...done...with it. I think one of the hallmarks of mxtx's writing is her ability to craft incredibly nuanced and complex characters and then pin them in positions where they have no choice except terrible ones, and lxc is absolutely among those characters (& also have some icky feelings abt how ppl talk about his relationship w with/how he's manipulated by jgy that are part of this but. that's. maybe more salty than needed on a monday afternoon aha)

Wei Wuxian becoming a teacher to lil disciples post-canon!! I'm terribly iffy on where I want wangxian to wind up post-canon and go back and forth a lot on it but i LOVE wwx getting to teach kids and be part of a community and how that both builds a new sort of family/community around him with the lil babes he teaches + breaks down/changes the perception others have had abt him (LQR, etc.)

Saw this wolf picture floating around yesterday and it reminded me too much of Wes and Jess for me to not draw it... so that happened.

Touched up an old-ish sketch. Sarahi and her friend Adz enjoying a little bit of downtime from more serious matters. (Though Sar thinks Adz still needs to learn to lighten up a bit.)

Still need to figure out how to draw male tauren... it’s a WIP!

What do you do while waiting for wow to come back up with more horrible war and death (...and lots of fire...) ?

You scribble an adorable moo and her lil wooden elderhorn a new friend gave her today.

I FINALLY managed a pose I half liked for this part of the OTP challenge ( #18, Something sad). It’sonlytakenmonths. very-very rough sketch but I still like it,

No, no tree burning this time. This is a sad Wes ‘n Jess witnessing their brand new home turning into ashes. Certainly was one of the hardest times during their recent story lines.
