Hi Buri!! It was such a nice surprise to see your name back on my dash!! If you don't mind, I'd love to hear more about two of your Guardian wips. First is the crack twin fic. Which twins is it about? Shen Wei and Ye Zun? Chu Shuzhi and Chu Nianzhi? Are so many Dixingren being twins the crack part??? There are so many possibilities here and I am v curious.
The second one is the mindreading fic. Who is doing the mind reading? Is it a "gift" bestowed on someone by the Hallows? A regular Dixing power?? Tell me more (please if you have time and you want to <3)
Hello Hello!! Thanks for the ask and great to see you in my inbox!!
The crack twins fic maaaaay be a misnomer (whoops!) I just opened the document to refresh my memory and the working title on the document is "Seeing Double" while "Crack Twins Fic" is the filename. It's an outline of a 5+1 in a fix-it universe where Zhao Yunlan comes back but Zhang Shi is still in his old body... Shenanigans and mistaken identities ensue. So, no biological twins.
The mindreading fic is another 5+1 (yes, they're my comfort format) of 5 times Zhao Yunlan thinks that one of Shen Wei's powers is mind reading and the one time he realizes that it isn't.
I have. Questions about the thistledown Guardian wips you have. Mainly. What is thistledown/how are they all linked? 👀
Awww, thanks for the question Anon!!
I've been having pretty bad writer's block (or, writing for work taking up all the words?). I saw a deck of oracle cards called Thistledown, created by Stephanie Burrows and illustrated by Adam Oehlers and the illustrations just started sparking all of these ideas. I've been pulling random cards and writing short fics based on the the word/feel.
Most of them are Ye Zun centric, and so far, most of them are closer to the "Find Our Way Back" fics than either Mao Didi or In His Shoes. I call the the Thistledown Ficlets after the deck and each one word title is the name of a card.
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I was tagged by both @eirenical and thought that this might be a good way to get me to start engaging with fandom again. Please do ask me about them; some are even completely written and are just sitting there on my computer!

I've been pretty disconnected from fandom for a bit, so please consider yourself tagged if this shows up on your dash and you've read this far!!
It's @mdzsrbb time again!!! @mockedspace and I have a fic for any dragon-noodle fans or fans of Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen! Please go give mockedspace and her fic some love <3
I had a great deal of fun with this partnership. I got to pull out my watercolor landscapes again and paint tiny JC. I'd say he's a giant in the first painting at a hair over 2cm tall from boots to bun, but...
Then I painted this one, and both Dragon Xichen and Jiang Cheng are *big*. JC (from waist to the top of his bun) is 2.9 cm.
I get to share my second @mdzsrbb partnership for 2023!!! Saichan took my art and ran with it in all the most amazing ways, taking a single thread and making something wonderful.
This fic is all about family, friends, and preparing for an exciting future. Jiang Yanli is at the center of it all, and it was a delight to get to know her this way through Saichan's words.
Y'all know the drill, please go read the fic and give Saichan and A-Jie some love!!
So I'm not doing an official Journal 52 challenge this year; even though I did complete the weeks for 2022, I ended up leaving them in my notebooks instead of scanning. Also. Words. Not necessarily my strong suit sometimes.
So for this year (2023) I'm just going to share random art as I get it done and scanned.
Saw some lovely work at a market and decided to try to recreate some of effects in my own preferred media. This is done with FineTec Pearlescent watercolors and gold foil.
I’m thoroughly excited to be able to share what I’ve been working on for the last few months!
I had a phenomenal time collaborating with the magnificent Magpie during the @mdzsrbb for 2023! We have an illustrated fic to share with you all, featuring two lonely and hurting cultivators taking care of a couple of orphaned children. There's angst, and feelings, and found family. We hope you enjoy!!
Just so there are no spoilers; here's the inspiration piece of Jiang Cheng with A Yuan and Jin Ling done in papercraft and watercolor:
And the rest of the illustrations are below the cut :)

InPrnt is having a sale, and they've also added new products including stickers!!
Chibis. As stickers.
Yes, I am very excited about this.
Also, small prints, so that the scale of what I usually paint will be closer to the scale that you get! You know what I mean, figures that I measure in millimeters. And little a-Ling is so tiny.
As always, just let me know if there's an art that isn't posted that you'd like made available!
Papercraft commission of Wei Wuxian (flautist extraordinaire) and Lan Wangji (a dragon)!
I had sooo much fun with this one - not only was it an adorable request and an interesting composition, but I got to bust out my slowly-growing collection of dragon-patterned papers! (You can see some twisty scaly serpents in the black fabric of Wei Wuxian’s robes and in Wangji’s blue mane.) I may have to make more dragon-themed art of these two lovebirds (or rather, a lovebird and a love…mythological creature…?) in the future.
My best wishes for the Lunar New Year 🍂💫✨
May 2023 bring prosperity and peace to all!
