Thank You All Very Much For Waiting!🦋🦋🦋

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.

Dinghai Love Week 2023 Day 2: Side character / Death.

Xie An, the man, the legend, who I didn't expect to like but here we are. I based his design on his first description on the novel. Also, spoilers without context, I guess.

The flow of time is always cruel.

Yaban has two roots: the original in Japanese is 野蛮 (yaban) and it means "barbaric" or "wild". The second is Chinese 假扮 (jiǎbàn) and it means "to impersonate". Adding to that the powers of the character that inspired me to take the name in the first place, Ban Midou from Get Backers, my superpowers include: super strength, hypnosis/mind control, shape shifting and a berserk mode. Plus creation, whatever that means, lol. Not bad!

Open tag! Have fun~

FAMILIAR FAMILIAR MASTERPOST

If you want to see my general info (and also which tags to look at my other art, click here)

FAMILIAR FAMILIAR is a self indulgent TOTK AU where Link and Zelda traverse the wild lands of Hyrule together. There are ruins to be discovered and monsters to be eaten.

This project is a linktober challenge that will extend past the month of october. Please be patient with me as this is entirely being funded by a hyperfixation and the support of beloved patreon backers (ty patreon backers). Pls note fanart, fanfics, and spinoffs are perfectly fine as long as credit is due!

"Let me see you (how I want to be seen)", also known in my WIPs as "Dancer Xie Lian" or "E-Ming's wish", is a Tian Guan Ci Fu fanfic I started writing eons ago and that is finally here with:

Hualian post-canon domestic tooth-rotting fluff.

E-Ming loving hours in which Ruoye gets love too.

Hua Cheng being a headache while having a headache.

Dance!

Summary: When Xie Lian woke up, two things were unexpectedly the same as how they were hundreds of years ago: he spontaneously got in the mood to dance —something that he didn’t remember happening since his first banishment— and Hua Cheng decided to hide his face.

Thanks a lot to Massie for beta-reading~

I have new profile pics!

The drawing is for my creations accounts (AO3, Tumblr and Bluesky) and the photo for my cosplay accounts (Facebook, Instagram and TikTok).

The original sketch of the drawing was made years ago by my BFF Lini, who used as reference a photo from the first professional photoshoot I had with my cosplay of Kusuriuri.

The photo is a selfie I took while preparing my (failed) submission to DigiKomi 2021.

Now, I'm ready for the worldwide release via Netflix of "Mononoke: Phantom in the Rain"!

Summary:

Xie Lian is a talented multi-instrumentalist who had a meteoric rise as a metal star when his band, White Lotus, released their first EP and got the attention of the prestigious label Immortal Records. When he became the youngest artist to sign with them at the age of 17, he felt that he had the world in the palm of his hand. Three years later, though, a song he wrote tore everything down: he lost his contract, his career, his friends and his family. Vetoed and blacklisted, he was forced to live on the move, as far away from the offices of his old record label as possible, picking little odd jobs related to music in order to survive.

After eight years, a bureaucratic nightmare forces Xie Lian to come back to the capital. He tries his best to go unnoticed, yet he receives two unsettling requests upon arrival: a man in red wants his permission to cover a song he wrote, and a man in white wants him to inherit his mask.

If you answer no, please let me know why, I'm genuinely curious. I don't mean for this to seem like there's one right answer, there isn't, it's just when I post works, I hope to get criticism because I know I'm a flawed writer, and I won't get better if I ignore that. Some people who write fanfiction are absolutely amazing writers, and if they believe that they don't need criticism for their work, then I'm glad that you worked so hard to get there! I just am wired differently. I know a lot of criticism can be seen as hate, and I want to be clear, when I say criticism, I don't mean saying 'this sucks'. I mean an actual look into the work, and pointing out what works, and what doesn't. I would love to get criticism, because it meant my stories were worth thinking about and people think I'm capable of improving.

Anyway I'll focus this post on MXTX authors, because that's the fandom I write in and I want to know what they think specifically
