One Of My Goals For 2024 Is To Write In A More Relaxed And Spontaneous Way, And Here's My First Step

Let's get cozy, friend.

From @/thisonethereader on BlueSky:

I’ve been following treasure hunting in the clouds and am stoked for your next chapter ^_^ where did your inspo come from? So many airports for poor Gege 😭. (Also sincerely hope you’ve never been THAT effed over by flights <3)

The seed of that entire AU is this tweet, which reads:

@/eddy_sarah: Had a new experience tonight: on hour one of a six-hour flight, I got up to use the bathroom and when I came back the guy beside me was wearing my sweatshirt

I found it hysterical and shared it on Puqi Shrine, the TGCF Discord server where I spend most of my time, elaborating on the spot with some clever and funny interventions of other members. Later that day, my good friend @tiiracotta told me on DMs that they found the idea hilarious as well, and we brainstormed some more—we decided together that Xie Lian would mudlark in his free time, for example. Tiira ended up making the animation featured in the fic as a birthday present to me, which gave me the final push to write!

I'm happy to say that, although I've gone through my fair share of airport misadventures, it's never been as bad as Xie Lian's experience in this fic. I keep putting this poor man through the exaggerated, horrible version of everything that happens to me, hahaha.

I'm determined to post the end of the fic before Christmas. I'm glad to know you're looking forward to it, and thanks for asking!

Back to WIP game main post.

So one of my neighbors has a lawn Roomba or whatever they're called, and this thing trundles around looking like a background robot in the background of the original trilogy, and ABSOLUTELY BAFFLING THE DOGS.

They have concluded, I think, that it's some kind of prey animal because right after this video ended they decided to crouch down and stalk it, which means I'm 90% sure I'm going to have to stop Arwen from eating it at some point.

Making preparations for next year's resolutions. I really need to strengthen my arms for health reasons, but even the chronic pain and the price of physiotherapy hasn't got me into the habit of working out. In vanity and cosplay/cosplans I trust!

Template by rainy. All pics used are official art or screenshots, except for Xie Lian in the bottom left corner, who was drawn by @irisevanz. Original post here.

MXTX couples can't be separated, so here are the animal gongs to the animal shous I drew before: the extremely good boy Luo Binghe, sly Fox Cheng, and distinguished Hanguang Bun.

This DTIYS was originally meant for Instagram as thanks for 3k followers, but then I checked my tumblr and what a surprise! I got to 4k already? Wow! In that case...

Thank you all so much for 4000 followers!

Tumblr was my very first "social media" besides internet forums, and it still holds a very dear place in my heart. Mostly thanks to the amazing people I met there. ^^

Anyway, as this is a DTIYS, you can check out the rules under the cut if you wish to participate, I hope you'll have fun!

What is a DTIYS?

A Draw This In Your Style is a simple challenge during which an artist creates an illustration, and other people can redraw it in their own style! Go crazy, modify the poses, the interactions, as long as the core elements are there (the three mxtx protagonist with Xie Lian in chibi version), then it counts as submission!

How can you see our submission?

Simply tag me. ^^ As soon as I'll see your submission, I'll reblog it!

Is there a deadline?

Not really, but preferably before the end of 2023.

Will there be a reward/winner?

I don't want this to be a competition, and I don't have anything to offer. My only wish is for you all to have fun!

Thank you all so much for 4k followers! I hope you'll enjoy your stay on my blog. ^^/

I participated in Dragon Age Big Bang 2024 as an artist for a lovely modern AU Adoribull fic 'time will change you' by @slothpoe!

Happy Chinese New Year, the year of the dragon!

This is the mighty ghost dragon Hua Cheng, whose rain is made of blood. He turned into a dragon after accidentally swallowing the red coral pearl he stole from the prince. Since then, he's been seeking the lost god to give him his pearl and blessing back.

ABCDMXTX - Day 12: Lan Zhan.

A friend gave me the idea of drawing Lan Zhan right after his punishment, and I ended up going a bit experimental and trying many new brushes.
