hello fellow yin yu enthusiasts, especially artists - would you be interested in joining a small p4p merch thing? similar to themed merch boxes but for ourselves and close friends maybe? the idea is still very rough but I got the idea after aki talked about drawing various yin yus with food or beverages - a collab, of sorts!
if there's some genuine interest, let me know and I will actually get serious and handle things more profesionally haha! just keep in mind that this is supposed a small community thing

There's nothing that makes a joke unfunnier than over-explaining it, but because of this post I feel obligated to explain why Quan Yizhen stuffing gold bars in Xie Lian's donation box is so funny from a Chinese reader's perspective.
Quan Yizhen & his gold bars happened at a time of the story full of tragic and tumultuous events. He Xuan just killed Shi Wudu and the entire heavenly court was reeling from his death. Soon after, Xie Lian uncovered Ling Wen's role in the Brocade Immortal fiasco. While everyone else was embroiled in these serious and momentous incidents, Quan Yizhen was on his equally important and serious side quest to stuff XL's donation box full of gold bars.
I think an important rule of comedy is that once the comedian shows that he is aware of himself being comical, once it becomes obvious that he's trying to make people laugh, the joke stops being as funny. A good comedy should be performed with serious and sincere intention. And that's why Quan Yizhen stuffing gold bars in XL's donation box is so funny - because he's so incredibly serious about it.
Quan Yizhen didn't just dump a whole sack of gold bars into the donation box - which would be the quickest and easiest way - he actually took the time to stack them up inside the box one by one (“一根一根地塞”, chapter 128). Actually he stacked the gold bars so neatly and tightly that they clogged up the donation box (chapter 133). So you see how seriously Quan Yizhen took this task; he showed the same amount of attention and dedication that a 10-year-old would show to his beloved lego toys. In chapter 128, when MXTX describes Quan Yizhen finishing up with the gold bars, she uses the verb 收工, which means clock out/finish a day's work. So again you see this is by no means frivolous for Quan Yizhen - this is actual important hard work for him!
I think it goes without saying that the situation is funny also because Quan Yizhen's so persistent about it. The heavenly court may have turned topsy turvy and everyone else may have very grown-up and life-and-death stuff to worry about, but Quan Yizhen will get these gold bars into Xie Lian's donation box (come to think of it he reminds me of the squirrel in Ice Age, they're both so locked in).
The second time XL caught Quan Yizhen in chapter 133 is especially funny to me first of all because of the timing. XL just had a tense confrontation with Ling Wen and brought her back to Puqi Shrine, and while the readers are holding their breath waiting for more startling details about the Brocade Immortal unveiled, we see XL opening the door to reveal Quan Yizhen squatting in front the donation box like a clumsy thief. The verb "squat" (蹲) is important here because like I explained in this other post, it's undignified and uncouth to squat; you wouldn't catch any other heaven official concerned with their personal image doing it. However, squatting in front of the box makes it easier for Quan Yizhen to stack the gold bars, which again shows how seriously he's taking this.
When MXTX describes Quan Yizhen stuffing the gold bars, she uses the phrase 鬼鬼祟祟, which means "sneakily" but with exclusively negative connotations, like when you describing a thief tiptoeing around to find stuff to steal. So it's funny that even though Quan Yizhen is doing something nice for XL, he has to do it in a very underhanded way (I honestly never expected to see 鬼鬼祟祟 in the same sentence as "putting gold bars in donation box", which made me burst out laughing when I first read it).
The whole situation is funny also because it's gold bars. There're pretty specific standards of gift-giving in Chinese culture, like certain gifts would show that you're cultured, sophisticated, and have good taste, but other gifts would show the opposite. For example, it'd very cool to gift someone a great calligrapher's calligraphy or a great artist's painting. It'd also be cool to gift someone stuff made from jade (jade has a lot of cultural significance attached to it and is seen as a noble gem). It'd even be cool to gift someone pearls because they have aesthetic value, and the kind that glows in the dark are especially prized. But gold bars have no cultural significance attached to it except crude, vulgar, obscene wealth. Therefore it's deeply uncool to gift someone gold bars to thank them, and the deep uncoolness is why it's so funny.
Anyway I think the overall characterisation of Quan Yizhen is just hillarious, from the cartoonish way he moves to his childlike speech patterns (he usually speaks in short, broken sentences). In chapter 133, when Quan Yizhen stole a melon from XL's backyard and slinked away with the melon in his mouth, the verb for "carrying something in one's mouth" is 叼, which is usually used on animals, like a dog carrying a bone or a cat carrying its kitten. So my mental image of Quan Yizhen is literally this:
