just here to say that I loveee the way you have doodled jin ling. squeaky toy golden boy. the most nephew to ever nephew. thank you for delightful comics, that's all, mwah

I simply think the Jin DNA is full of lil guy potential; like sugar ants on a peony B*)

#better drawn mdzs #ask #MDZS #Jin Ling #jin guangyao #jin zixuan #mo xuanyu #They are taking a little nap after snacking on nectar.... #I was working on some life study florals when I got this ask and thought 'I can combine these.' #Mwahs u back on the forehead; thank you for giving me an excuse to draw these guys #I really like doodling jin ling so I'm happy to know other people like him too #depending on how I rearrange these in my queue this is either the first time Jin Zixuan appears on this blog #or its right after he's been torn to shreds #Such is life! Jin Zixuan should have never disrespected the queen! #okay lets talk ants and peonys for a moment here #I use to think that peonys needed ants to help them fully blossom but that's not the case at all! #They want ants around to eat the pests that do more harm to them #peony's in China are associated with wealth and prosperity; but I've grown up with them meaning 'generosity and mutualship' #Yellow peonies are for fresh starts and new beginnings! Much to think about.

Qin Yi: Flower in the Mirror

Designer's Reflection: Flower in the Mirror

Obtained: Sea of Fantasy Gleam

Rarity: SSR

Attribute: Green/Fresh

Awakened Suit: Moon in the Water

Story - transcripts from Designer's Reflection

Chapter 1 - The Beginning

Chapter 2 - The Kindness

Chapter 3 - The Hatred

Chapter 4 - The End

Story - summarized

Qin Yi isn't just an acting prodigy, but also the youngest head of the family. As such, he is the one who interacts with others on behalf of the Qin family.

One day, he is invited to perform for a group of officials. They barely regard his performance before they return to business. To these men, actors aren't worthy of the most basic respect. But this allows Qin Yi to eavesdrop on their conversation without being noticed. One of the politicians, Mr. Shen, brings up Mr. Lin's financial affairs. This interests Yi.

When he goes on a leisurely walk through a garden he'd purchased and renovated, he spots a young woman reading a book. He passes by her and finds a spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine. As the sun set, a young man comes in and embraces the girl. The two are clearly in love - but they split when they hear footsteps.

It's too late. The steward of the Lin family approaches the young woman, admonishing her for seeing the boy and trying to force her back home. Qin Yi finally intervenes. He apologizes for not recognizing Miss Lin, and to make up for his error he offers her two tickets to his play - and also a note hidden underneath.

Naturally, she comes to his play. This one is about a girl and a canary, both trapped in their own "cages." While the bird is able to escape and fly away, the girl ends up dying. Qin Yi made this play specifically for Miss Lin. No one else but Lin Xiao picks up on the hidden message.

Qin Yi then finds the young man, who tells him that Lin Xiao is engaged to a pompous jerk. Yi tells the boy that there is nothing he can do about the engagement, but he can help him see the girl one more time. When Qin Yi is called to perform at the Lin house, he sneaks the boy in disguised as an actor. After the show, the two lovers would be reunited.

During the play, however, Qin Yi switches places with his apprentice. While the boy steps onstage to sing, Yi sneaks into the upper levels of the Lin house. He finds what he really came here for, and then he leaves.

The next time he sees Mr. Lin, Qin Yi reveals that he knows about the corrupt deal he made with Mr. Shen's business. The two officials had been planning to cut back on taxes and line their pockets. Furious and desperate to keep face, Mr. Lin agrees to grant status and access to Qin Yi.

Not long after, the Qin family rises in power. Qin Yi eventually opens up other theaters and takes in homeless children to train them to "blend in" like him so he can gain more secrets and earn more power.

After all, as the head of the Qin family, Yi has no choice but to better the family's image. He is like Lin Xiao, like the canary, trapped in his own cage.

Connections

-Qin Yi says that he and the Qin family see each other as tools. In Out the Phoenix Palace, Yi pretends to be the long-lost Qin son that went missing years ago. Whether the family believes him or not is irrelevant: they use him to gain status, and he uses them to get out of the abusive troupe.

-When Qin Yi discuses his plan to set up a network of spies and secrets, he talks about taking in homeless children. He himself was a homeless child, as in Pollia Mist Silk, Yi reveals that his parents were never around, he often had to eat deer food in the park to survive, and he eventually ran away to find a better life.

-In the end of this Reflection, Qin Yi talks about how he can take on any disguise with ease... but also wonder who he truly is. Starting from Nostalgic Dreams, we see Qin Yi forced to take on different personas for survival: from tricking his best friend, Monkey, to becoming the missing Qin son in Out the Phoenix Palace, to his identity crisis (disguised as a simple play about a fox spirit) in Jamais Vu.

Fun Facts

-There's a well-known proverb in China: "Flower in the mirror, moon in the water." It refers to something beautiful that you can't obtain, or something that seems shallow having a deeper meaning.

-There are peonies on the fan in the beginning. Peonies in Chinese symbolism represent beauty, love, affection, and good fortune.

-Nine is the name of Qin Yi's first apprentice, and also an auspicious number in Chinese numerology. It's connected to the emperor and sacredness, as well as representing longevity.

-While Qin Yi is a master manipulator, he's not completely free to do what he wants to do. The Qin family uses him to rise in power, which means he has to use his skills to convince politicians to grant him (and by extension, the Qin family) access to exclusive spaces, like how he tricked the Lin family.

-The garden Qin Yi buys and renovates is called Rivera Garden. Rivera is a common Spanish and Latin-American surname.

*whistful sighing* what does your fave smell like? do they have a signature scent they wear purposefully? a detergent or shampoo they always use? maybe a smell they acquire from working all day or from their environment?

#uta wears a perfume that smells like strawberries and peonies #it's sweet and comforting and the notes change throughout the day #it's fruit forward when she first puts it on and brings a smile to her face in the morning #the floral notes linger in the air as she goes about her day #it's subtle and fresh like a warm spring day #I am in my uta feelings today no one look at me #self shipping

On the way back from the farmer's market, I passed a guy in his 40s or so, wearing a plain white shirt & walking along a shady bit of sidewalk in the neighborhood, both his hands clasped behind his back. just ambling along enjoying the summer evening.

and like, gender, tbh?

#pov you are just a man out on a walk after work #there is a fresh baguette from the market in your bag #occasionally you stop to smell the peonies or pick a coneflower from a clump near an alley #your partner is on the way home & bringing free allium bulbs from a person in your neighborhood for you to plant in your garden #(i am conflating myself and this random man but his little grandpa walk with his hands behind his back was so cute) #the gull rambles
