Modern TGCF

I've tried to make a little comic of modern hualian ♥

It was quite long to draw, I'm way too perfectionist T-T

English isn't my native language. I apologize for any mistake.

(Sorry for the late post here. Tumblr became so quite lately. I've migrated to Twitter and Instagram ;-; I'll try to keep posting things here as long as there're people following me.)

I wanted to make something for Xie Lian's birthday but couldn't figure out what. Then I read the newest update of "At Night I Rose And Fell" by PaidSubFics at like 4:30am of July 16th and this image got branded into my brain.

Here's my Puqi Shrine Secret Santa 2023 gift for Sawami!

Summary: A few months after their marriage, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng decide to move from their flat in the city to a house in the countryside. It’s a big change, and also the perfect opportunity for Xie Lian to fix an issue that he’s been noticing for a while now. Wishing to start their new life with the right foot, he devises a plan.

Many thanks to my friend Ranger for coming up with the hilarious tag "Triple Cheese Corniness".

Yknow what while I’m here I know we as a website agreed to oppress the business majors but all the bullshit that comes around every April over ao3’s business practices makes me think we should’ve kept at least one to explain to people how nonprofits, despite their name, still need money to function and do not in fact run on rainbows and dreams alone

This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.

Whenever people try to tell me to ship "moral ships" I like to think about how inherently immoral it is to flirt with service workers at coffee shops where they're obliged to be nice to you so... many coffee shop AUs are like. Immoral. But given that they are a fantasy where this is instant romance without the fear of trapping a service worker in an uncomfortable situation that's tantamount to workplace sexual harassment, I enjoy the cutesy coffee shop AUs immensely.

And that's basically my attitude towards all fantasy. There's lots of things I enjoy in fantasy that wouldn't work IRL. Enemies to lovers. Sudden kisses. Miscommunications in relationships. Codependency. Fight sluts who physically assault each other while emotionally connecting.

Once you start ascribing your morals to the fiction you consume, you tend to miss the issues in even the most innocuous, innocent seeming scenarios. It's easy to judge other people's fictional enjoyment until someone points out your innocent coffee shop AU is romanticised workplace harassment.

But it's all fiction. It's a fantasy. That's why it's fine.

A lack of education around things like consent, healthy relationships, self respect and respect of others, bodily autonomy, etc, has made people think they can rely only on fiction to tell them what right - but that's dangerous. And unsustainable.

ABCDMXTX - Day 13: Mu Qing.

I read somewhere that Mu Qing uses a zhanmadao (horse-slicing curved sword) and I never looked back.

List of prompts.

Here's a reimagining I wrote of the scene in book 4 where Xie Lian gets drunk at the graveyard. Mind the tags, please.

Summary:

Didi (弟弟): Younger brother.

Drunk for the first time in his life, Xie Lian accidentally falls in an open burial pit and finds that he’s not alone.

Canon divergence from chapter 185 of the original/unrevised serialized edition.
