snake and poppies

One more for @xiranjayzhao's Iron Widow, because when I read the descriptions of Yizhi's tattoos I knew I had to draw it. (I think there were other flowers mentioned, but my copy is back home so I couldn't look it up). I am rather happy with this turned out. :)

shimin: how about we stop talking for a little while.

Yes, Gao Yizhi has a four step exfoliating and moisturizing routine. Yes, he offered to murder a man's family as a gift for the love of his life. Yes, he knows how to cook and owns flower patterned oven mitts. Yes, he brutally murdered his father as violently and publicly as he could. Yes, he once yelled, "You can't shoot me, I'm rich," at a group of soldiers.

Yes, Gao Yizhi is an unhinged polyamorous bisexual rich bitch pretty boy murderer who loves his partners and murder so much. He has layers. He's complex.

there's a reason my favourite poly ship ever is from iron widow and its just because it was set up like a fucking love triangle and i could never tell who exactly my girl Zetian would end with. like it was the classic who will our protagonist (who uses she/hers pronouns for ease and not because she's actually a women but you won't know this till later in the book) choose: her rich childhood best friend who would sacrifice everything including his life and more importantly his money for her or the soft hearted war criminal who she is forced to team up with because he is the only person who won't die because of how strong her qi is.

and you know i was dreading the moment she would have to choose between them because I fucking hate love triangles but suddenly my babygirl Yizhi is fanboying over Shimin and I'm like waitttttt do THEY end up together????? Tell me they end up together!!! and then it turns around and they're both doting over zetian? like the bisexual part of me who crushes on both boys and girls at the same time but didn't know it could date them at the same time just fucking began to scream. like I died and ascended to a higher plane (if you got that joke then kudos to you).

of course then my soul died a second time because I learned the sequel will release in April but honestly good for xiran to refuse to work on heavenly tyrant because publishing didn't pay them enough money to live on and instead work on things that will actually feed them. ill just reread my iron widow ebook and wait for the physical copy (that I now finally have enough money to buy! thank you to various relatives for funding my need to buy queer books. i will probably see you again next diwali) to arrive!

#iron widow #gao yizhi #li shimin #wu zetian #xiran jay zhao #woo that is a very long textpost #honestly where is this enthusiasm when im trying write or study #like the ADHD hyper focus was strong in this one

I just finished Iron Widow and I will accept NO CRITIQUE of this book. It is amazing. I love having a strong yet unhinged female lead who dives straight into a villain arch. I love the discussions of gender and misogyny. I love the references to real people in Chinese history. I love the nods to Chinese mythology. I love the true love triangle that turns into a poly partnership. I love the twist at the end. I 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 all 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 it 👏🏻. I cannot wait to read Heavenly Tyrant!!!!

Gay wrongs tournament, semifinals of the minor bracket

Propaganda:

For Lord Hater and Commander Peepers :

Lord Hater is the self-proclaimed "universe's awesomest evil-doer", an immature, attention-seeking manchild with electric powers and a short temper. He rules the Hater Empire with Commander Peepers as his second-in-command (technically third, after his beloved pet spider-xenomorph, but who's counting), however it soon becomes *very* clear that the cunning, remorseless, hardworking Peepers is the *real* brains behind the empire. Peepers might be frustrated at Hater's incompetence at times and isn't above manipulating him to reach an end goal, but he'd never dream of usurping him because, well, he's really gay and in love with him (as much as he can be in an early-10s Disney cartoon, anyways). Hater might take Peepers for granted a lot of times, but as his oldest friend and closest confidante he's the one who Hater is closest to. Whether it's invading other planets or kicking puppies for fun, these two are *delightfully* terrible jerks and the epitome of gay wrongs.

Commander Peepers is both Lord Hater's right hand man in villainy AND his jilted stay-at-home-wife-guy (Also in villainy. Hater is really good at getting distracted from productive and efficient villaining.) Lord Hater was the greatest villain in the galaxy thanks to how well he and Commander Peepers worked as an evil team to run the Hater Empire!

Lord Hater conquers planets and is such an edgy bastard. Peepers is the actual brains behind the operation. Peepers is often pushed aside by Hater, they are besties and yet Peepers is always pining for this guy who will never notice. Peepers is so horribly gay for him if you watch the show he wants his stupid boss so bad. Peepers is so scared of him season 1 but then starts yelling BACK in season 2 and has to deal with him like a babysitter or something and yet STILL idolizes him and that’s just such a fun dynamic. His password is H8RNP33PRS43VR (Hater and Peepers forever). They are so evil and everyone fears them and they are villains and they are gay and the side of the fandom that draws them as a married couple that needs counseling is absolutely correct. The fanart of Hater openly liking him back is wonderful but I swear you don’t even need that. They are so gay and villain you have to love them they are

Villains that conquer planets and do evil stuff, my favourite characters, not really canon but they are the best :)

For Wu Zetian x Gao Yizhi x Li Shimin: (propaganda from previous poll here)

They are in a poly and are so morally gray and I love em. The triangle really is the strongest shape

They're gay because they're all bi (literally in Shimin and Yizhi's cases, kinda more implied for Zetian). Zetian and Shimin tortured a man for information (and also because he tortured them first) while Yizhi cooked back in their apartment. They made a plan to destroy their government and take over instead. Yizhi killed his dad because he was talking shit about Zetian and trying to sway his trust in her (it didn't work lmao). Instead of a love triangle (it REALLY seemed like that was what it was heading towards) they all love each other and would (and have) committed atrocities for each other. There's a whole thing about how they're stronger together (like, metaphorically and on the battlefield (Shimin and Zetian pilot a giant mecha together and Yizhi balances them))

They're a canon polyship who are all a bit deranged and down to kill for their goals and/or to protect bae. Two have tortured a man to death together and came home to the third making celebratory cookies for them.

What's more gay wrongs than trying to take over your country and torturing a man together
