Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
I love your art! It's so beautiful and I loved your spiritual weapons personified.
But I was curious why you picked Lan Xichen's xiao (flute) Liebing instead of his sword Shouyue (朔月 shuòyuè - new moon) ?
*whispers* I love that they are married.
Thank you! 😊💙
The reason is quite simple - I had a rough idea about personifications of most main characters' weapons/intsruments and wanted to draw them all, but in the end finished only the girls I like the most (whom I also ship hard) 😅
While I think Shouyue is a nice guy and Baxia's most likely only true friend, I have a hard time seeng them as a couple. I know it might sound weird, since for me they feel like properly fleshed out characters with their own stories and etc, and you know nothing about them, since I never really spoke about it OTL but I'll try to put it shortly, just for some extra info.
I think Baxia sees all other swords as either enemies or rivals whom she must surpass and beat in a fair fight at least once, even if they're her allies. Every time she sees another sword, her initial instinct is to fight until she beats them, and when she does, she immediately loses a great chunk of interest in them.
So here lies the dilemma: she can't love someone who has no power over her, while her pride also cannot bear anyone overpowering her.
With musical instrument it's an entirely different matter. Baxia respects them of course, but she doesn't really see them as weapons and as a result, her rivals or worthy opponents. They were not made for fighting, even if their skills can be useful in it. So she always acted somewhat indulgent and even dismissive towards them, until meeting Liebing. She was the first one to make such a weird effect on Baxia. How could such a delicate and gentle girl be also so firm and fearless? How could she accompany Baxia in her endless hunts without feeling like a burden? Not to mention only Liebing's singing can pull Baxia out of her murderous berserk mode, when she completely loses control over herself; only she can bring her the peace of mind Baxia hardly ever experienced before.
So while Liebing has that strange power over her, which Baxia can't explain in any way familiar to her, somehow she doesn't feel angered by it. More like intrigued and maybe even willing to put her endless warfare away - only for a couple of minutes, just enough to hear one more song of Liebing.
suddenly remembered my FNaF 2 OC named V.O.T.S. (or Voice Over The Speakers)
He serves as a kind of phone guy/guide but you never see him, just hear him over the restaurant’s loud system, as the name implies
When I first made him, it was because he was Doug Rattmann-ing out in a maintenance shaft,
but I think it’d be more fitting if it was because he was a corpse in the vents who talks to you to make sure you don’t suffer the same fate as he did.
I don’t think I worked him out much aside from, his favorite animatronic is actually BB. Probably because he just kind of steals your batteries, doesn’t really try to kill you.
He’s probably hateful towards the withered animatronics, so. You know. One of them probably killed him. *cough*Chica*cough*
He did have a physical appearance, but mostly it was just a mop of gray hair on his head, big grey/black eyes. ((Not like I’ll have the energy to draw him anyway 🥲
