#I have already said that his chest will be the death of me #Xiao Shunyao is hot #He is stunning with this hairstyle and make up #Actually he is always stunning #He wears v-neck shirts because he knows how they affect us #But damn man! If you keep doing this I will be death before 2024! #The little dragon on his cheek is chef's kiss #With the hairstyle and the face mask in the top right photo he reminds me the character of a videogame like Mortal Kombat or Dead or Alive #I would always choose him to play #I can hear the off-screen voice of the game saying “Xiao Shunyao wins. Flawless Victory” #He is flawless by the way #i love him #xiao shunyao #chinese drama #cdrama #mysterious lotus casebook #lian hua lou #shui long yin #di feisheng

[sagaubeloved]

I noticed while walking around with Xiao that he just — he just has his mask on?? At first I thought it was just him in his ideal animation or something and stopped to let him take it off, and even minutes later he STILL HAD IT ON. Switched with my other characters and then back to him and STILL WEARING THAT MASK. Jumped and smacked things to hopefully trigger the mask away and nope, still there.

What??? FOR WHAT REASON????

#genshin sagau #sagau xiao #Genshin impact #Sagau #for reals he just kept vibing with the mask on #FOR SO LONG #I was confused #and then a few hours later I came back and it was finally gone! #what was the reason xiao??? #what was the reason to keep the mask on as I swirl you around to swing that mask off of your CUTE FACE #the mask was the true xiao we had all along

I want to post my art again but I need to ease back into it first #hence my first post being old art bc I have less attachment to it #also I posted the dragonspine ones on reddit at one point so a bit less scary to have those seen #trying to draw xiao’s mask was incredibly frustrating that’s why it looks that way lmao

In that recent interview with Jenna casually bringing up how Wenclair’s dynamic is one of her favorites of all time because they’re “dark storm cloud and sunshine” and it’s like. Like.

LIKE OKAY MISS MAAM I SEE U, I SEE YOU UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. ONEOFUSOFUSONEOFUSONEOFUS-

Like, the question wasn’t even remotely about character dynamics (it was about the sets of the show ffs) but just like One of Us™️ Miss Ortega took any opportunity to bring up her ship like a true Wenclair Warrior. Combine that iconic moment with Hunter’s “fighting for #Wenclair iykyk”? I am getting SUCH flashbacks to the RWBY fandom where Bumbleby’s VAs Barb and Arynn would be absolute champions for the ship oh my GOD. They talked about it on the ship it show or whatever that youtube series was, the fucken ‘Yang’s arm is a vibrator’ jokes Barb would make, just- SO MUCH fer our lovely Bees (who, mind you, are THE Sun & Moon Girlfriends™️ in their aesthetics, their personalities before Blake opened up more but it still works in current time, their semblances, even their NAMES LIKE ARGH NO ONE SERVES LIKE THE BEES,,,).

In conclusion, that rush of the actors of a show themselves advocating or even just giving us little crumbs towards a ship? It’s immaculate it’s amazing like I can not wait for next week to see what happens. I will say that if Wenclair DOES follow the Bumbleby route of “super popular sun and moon gfs even the actors themselves ship” then I am dying to see what version of Beehaw the Netflix Wednesday fandom will throw together should there be a longass hiatus for another season. Yorse? Nah, let’s make it WORSE (please laugh at this awful pun). Like Hunter said, if you know… you know.

#theres only a week left until the show drops but I want to draw Worse so badly now #yall have ur amazing Greek Enid headcanon #and I love that hc to my HEART #but also #beehaw but make it wenclair #i wanna see a stumbling Sheriff Enid try to woo the newcomer Miss Wednesday who seems outta place in the Wild West #Wednesday turns out to be the infamous masked outlaw who has been robbing trains and shit #idk theres infinite possibilities here #and one of them is Worse #yall hate me bc my brain is far too big for your mortal comprehension #greek enid supremacy #greek enid #wenclair #wednesday addams #enid sinclair #theyre so in love #bumbleby #beehaw #yang xiao long #blake belladonna #rwby

Repostober 2 first time i'm posting on tumblr everyday

#repostober #genshin impact #xiao #illustration #digital art #in real life all masks like this then wet inside from condensation

[qourmet]

it's Bananas to me that despite these being two separate canvases i'm working on, they'll inevitably be one cohesive piece

#wip #it's a c0mm #i think when i finally get done with c0mms #which is looking to be Soonish #i'm gonna go on an mdzs haitus i'm Burnt Out to high hell i think #& i'll indulge a little bit in kingdom hearts #also this wy looks eerily like xiao zhan to me & it's probably the Mask that's doing it

IMAGINE A MASQUERADE BALL WITH XIAO???

…see, you’ve done the very dangerous thing of reminding me of the 100 followers special continuation i was planning that includes xiao and heizou… and a little of my cinderella au with him, too. 

but i need to brainrot about this now.

thing is… we could go down the usual route of fantasy masquerade ball with big fancy chandeliers and a nice ballroom, but i feel like a spin could be put on it to make it more interesting.

namely, cyberpunk; a setting that i think fits xiao very well. (let me generate some ideas for a second…)

maybe this masquerade ball is inspired by old fragments of books and paintings uncovered in the wreckage of historical buildings, and a group of people are trying to resurrect it, just for fun. it’s likely nowhere as grande as the ‘proper’ ones, and takes place in some abandoned warehouse or the basement of a pub. the music is an electronic, bass-y version of some classical pieces, performed by a mini-orchestra of electric classical instruments. there are some asymmetrical make-shift chandeliers welded from old bits of metal hanging from the ceiling, sporting some LED light bulbs. 

people come wearing all sorts of clothing; most try to imitate the gowns and suits worn in the old days but with a spin of cyberpunk, with metal masks and hand gauntlets, while a few wear visors and their typical fashion.

xiao’s mask is no doubt based on his yaksha mask, put together with metal and cogs and some pieces of wood, and there are neon blue lights around the eye sockets, which mirror his original mask’s glowing eyes. the fangs are made of steel and bronze. 

the atmosphere is lively, although the location is quite dark. as they dance, people try to guess who the person behind the mask is. xiao prefers not to know. 

xiao is a really, really good dancer. he meets you in one of the dances, and you’re floored by his dancing. his movements are fluid and graceful, almost like water, and each step and twirl is precise, like he’s been doing this all his life. he’s actually quite courteous while dancing, too; he’s a guy who prefers actions over words, so it’s no wonder that he lets his dancing speak for itself. he finds it so much easier to carefully spin you around than start a conversation, in which he’s certain he would come across as brash.

meanwhile, you try your very best to figure out who this person is, and whether you’ve met him before, but his identity eludes you. you only spend a brief time together before the music changes and you’re both met with new partners, but somehow he still stands out to you the most. 

after the dance, the crowds disperse, and you try and look for him, absentmindedly taking off your mask because the dance is over. for a moment, you catch a glimpse of glowing blue in the crowd, meeting your eyes from behind a familiar metal mask. when you blink, he’s gone, and you don’t find him again afterwards.

(meanwhile, xiao probably just ducked behind some wall or pillar because he was not prepared for you to be so stunning behind that mask and needed a second to gather his thoughts.)

#i’m imagining xiao practicing dancing in that abandoned warehouse from snippets of artwork and text about how it was done #he sneaks in in the middle of the night and dances to himself until dawn #and what if one day you go to that warehouse for whatever reason as well #and see him just standing in the middle of the warehouse and dancing #he MAKES the warehouse a ballroom #you almost forget that it’s a metal block of a building and imagine that there are tapestries on the walls and gold chandeliers overhead #there’s probably a convenient beam of moonlight hitting him from some hole in the ceiling #and you forget what you came there for because you’re completely entranced by this sight #maybe you knock something over and xiao realises someone’s there and quickly dons his mask to avoid recognition (he doesn’t know it’s you) #and then some other stuff happens which i’m too tired to come up with right now #case and point: cyberpunk xiao. #sent: astrididi #r answers #xiao x reader

AU where xiao has no karmic bonds anymore and works in liyue’s food delivery services

idk wanmin restaurant is expanding its service and xiangling heard zhongli telling guoba (when zhongli visits the ex-stove god the conversation is really one-sided but zhongli doesn’t mind, he can ramble enough for the both of them) that xiao is looking for work, and yknow, xiangling’s seen the young adeptus here and there and he’s praised her cooking before, both she and her dad don’t expect running deliveries to be that much work (plus he can teleport, it won’t be that hard) and he’ll get paid decently, why not offer him a job? he can pilot the program for a bit and then they’ll see whether it turns out ok, the worst thing that could happen is getting 1 star reviews on sevenstars.tyv for “unapproachable and frightening demeanor of delivery guy” (sumeru scholars invented the internet a couple years back or something). 

obviously zhongli says yes for xiao, because he thinks xiangling’s suggestion can do the young adeptus good—trusty old common wisdom states that food warms the heart and brings people together, and xiao (or any liyuen) is not an exception. and of course xiao agrees to zhongli’s proposal because when has he ever refused a request from his god and savior. never! zhongli and xiangling both assure him that he can refuse or resign at any point and neither will hold it against him, but of course xiao takes his job extremely seriously, and if yanwang di- no, if zhongli daren wants him to do it, of course he will.

xiao doesn’t have any feelings on the arrangements because it’s just another thing to keep him busy lol but he appreciates complimentary almond tofu, especially since he manages to persuade xiangling to make it the traditional way he likes it and save her new and improved tofu recipes for Other customers to try

xiangling sends xiao to more remote places at first to avoid crowds, which he appreciates, one time he goes to qingce village and ends up meeting little luo again, he doesn’t even remember her until she exclaims “you’re the adeptus who rescued my doll!!” with a giant smile on her face... were humans always so blindingly bright? he stiffly gives the family his greetings, and tries to smile a little bit at the girl (she’s extra pleased by this, maybe he’ll ask zhongli whether he has good smiles or whether they look like grimaces). little luo... was it? he should get xiangling to send her some candy next time.

he gets sent to the chasm one time bc the miners ordered hotpot as an end of season celebration, and he finds a small little memorial to the millelith who died in the chasm 500 years ago. after delivering the hotpot ingredients, xiao climbs to the top of the cliff to pick a qingxin and offer it to the memorial. the other yakshas were always pretty fond of humans, so it’s only natural. 

when he gets a little more used to the city xiangling sends him to deliver stuff around liyue harbor itself—one time the delivery was for hu tao, xingqiu, and chongyun, hanging around wangsheng parlor. usually xiangling would join them herself, and the young opera director yun jin and their rockstar friend xinyan visit too, but the three were busy with their own plans that time and it fell to xiao to deliver their dinner: light translucent shrimp dumplings without carrots, a bowl of cooling soup, and filleted fish. he hears them playing a rowdy game of something (mahjong... with only three players? or maybe tcg.... but as a 2 v 1 game? he’s getting more and more confused by the second) before the door’s opened by hu tao; she seems really ecstatic to see him, except her smirk sobers up quickly once they hear chongyun shouting “hey! you stole my cards!!” regardless she thanks him for the food, and then tells him a joke that really shouldn’t be funny at all except the corners of his mouth quirk up against his will. of course hu tao notices this, she’s always been a mischievous child too clever for her own good, and she smiles even wider in return and tells him that he’s welcome any time in her house. if he brings a couple hilichurls along he’s even more welcome

and of course, a lighthearted scene where, surprisingly, zhongli also places an order, but it isn’t sent to wangsheng funeral parlor, xiao goes all the way to jueyun karst and delivers the order to cloud retainer, mountain shaper, and moon carver. they’re just chilling and zhongli is introducing them to take out. “so, what do you all think of wanmin’s handiwork?” xiao tries to leave before any of them can start droning on and on, but obviously he ends up spending the whole meal with them because nobody can escape the sheer force of zhongli and cloud retainer infodumps. the other adeptus ask after him and the meal is generally silly banter: there’s a digression on triangular cups,,,, some nagging for xiao to eat more, “look at my newest invention isn’t it wonderful”,,,,,, and other small and incredibly mundane nothings that keep the conversation flowing like the tea from their triangular cups. insignificant occurrences in more peaceful lives, and maybe xiao is learning how to fall into this new rhythm of things... maybe he even likes it, maybe it will bring him more smiles in the days to come

yknow yknow do you feel me

very aware that some of this might be super ooc especially the adepti thing at the end but hey they can be silly as a treat, cloud retainer and co deserve a bit of adeptal entertainment time

#more end notes: the thing about smiling has literally invaded my head bc do you know the npc little luo who's in qingce village #she met xiao before and like he gave her her doll back right and then she says hmm i wonder what would make adeptus xiao smile #hoarous wrote the best fic in existence for my otp based on that line and tbh its really such a good line like WAH supposedly 'scary' conque #conqueror of demons masked yaksha alatus smiling.... 🥺 thats so cute come on guys #in this au i like to imagine that he brings flowers for cy along with the order. and then cue ht and xq teasing him endlessly for it bc im n #nothing but a xiao.yun shill at the end of the day #can be read however you want tho there's a reason why i hide ship thoughts in the tags lmfao #ok maybe i should write a fic???? realizing... i wrote more for this than i have in like the past 3 months and this is literally just me thr #throwing spaghetti at the wall #@ followers is this anything #xiao #zhongli #xiangling #teyvat thoughts #hu tao #genshin impact
