#mo xuanyu costume

in cql I don't think wei wuxian is supposed to be read as being resurrected into mo xuanyus body. it's just his own body from before he died. I've seen people say that the show is just implying that mo xuanyu and wei wuxian are just somehow magically near identical in order to keep xiao zhan as the actor but a) cqls costume department is way too good at making the other characters look different at different ages when it's still the exact same person playing them for them to not even Try to make xiao zhan look Any different post res, b) it's confirmed in the first like 15 minutes of the show that mo xuanyu always wears his mask, so reasonably no one at mo manner would know what his face actually looks like, at least at that age, and I can more reasonably suspend my disbelief to assume that mo xuanyu and wei wuxian just have similar lips and jawlines, and also that the sect that has been actively abusing him for years just doesn't care enough to notice, and c) mo xuanyu was very notably a disciple in the jin sect for a period of time, and wei wuxian dropping his mask to reveal himself at koi tower to everybodys (fake) shock implies two things - that people at koi tower and other cultivators who visited when he was there saw mo xuanyus face while he lived there, and that mo xuanyu and wei wuxian look noticeably different from each other. if they Hadn't seen his face, removing the mask would have no weight, and people could reasonably just be like well I guess that's just what the top of mo xuanyus face looks like, and if they Didn't look noticeably different, then removing the mask would once again have no weight, and the people who know what mo xuanyu looks like would just see mo xuanyu and there would be no reason for alarm. plus, knowing the cultivation world post wei wuxians death, or at the very least knowing jiang cheng, if there was just some kid running around with almost the exact same face as the yiling laozu he would be dead already. I think the assumption is very much supposed to be that like many other things between the novel and the drama, the ritual is simply different in cql, and mo xuanyus body was not sacrificed for wei wuxian to inhabit but rather for wei wuxian - body, soul, and mind - to take its place in the physical realm. wei wuxian is too consistent with wearing the mask around anyone who doesn't already know and the scene where he removes it is too monumental for that not to be true

Mysterious Mr. Oriole, master of the brush and the fan, but not the sword
Tumblr media
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." This Chinese saying fits perfectly with Nie Huaisang's defeat of Meng Yao. However, it seems that it further said about the hunter who shot an oriole and about the puddle in which the hunter fell. But that doesn’t matter, Huaisang just needs to be careful not to become a mantis himself.
"huángquè" is variously translated as "oriole", or "siskin", or even "yellow bird". I also think it sounds remotely similar to Huaysan's name.
It's Nie Huaisang in a bird costume. I remember how, while drawing this art, I was trying to understand the structure of Chinese costumes. Unsuccessfully. But all these long sleeves look like wings, and I thought: why not? Some details are taken from Huaisang's old costume. I also found pictures of black and yellow birds, for example this siskin. But the truth is that I just love the combination of black and gold.
Tumblr media
It's actually an illustration of two different stories at once.
The first story is about split personality. What if Nie Huaisang really didn’t know anything? All this time, “the oriole behind” was not him, but his second identity. Huaisang created this identity because he could not bear the truth of Meng Yao's betrayal. And this revengeful identity might look exactly like this.
The second story is about a demon. Nie Huaisang wanted to know who killed his brother. He heard a legend about a bird demon who grants wishes, and made a deal with the demon. Nie Huaisang learned the truth and gained the strength to revange, and the price was very small: his whole life he will have to fulfill other people's wishes. Essentially, the demon forced Huaisang to take his place.
The brush in Huaisang's hand can perform all sorts of miracles, and its power becomes stronger the more wishes he fulfills. It is also very useful that you can demand any price for desires, whether it is fair or not, Huaisang himself decides. He can pull a drunkard out of a dry well, and in return ask for either only a shoe from his left foot, or to dig a tunnel into the Guangyin Temple.
I think he made this costume himself, and not a single bird was harmed. Nie Huaisang wants to look fashionable and mysterious when he comes to those who call him! In such clothes no one will recognize him for sure! And if someone thinks they know him... Well, Huaisang will make sure that person never knows anything again.
One day he will come to Mo Xuanyu and say, like a real demon: “Of course, I will help you take revenge. All I need is your soul.”

My first danmei costume was Wei Wuxian (Yiling Laozu - mobile game design). I started reading the MXTX books in February after I was able to afford them with b-day funds. When I found out multiple friends were planning MDZS for Anime St. Louis, I ordered fabrics and was able to pull WWX together in time to join! 
Many thanks to Yaya for hanfu guidance and for letting me borrow her pattern, which saved me so much time. Had many discord voice chats with Miya while we worked on our costumes together. A hilarious late night discord chat with Lindsay resulted in a surprise apparance as Mo Xuanyu on “Little Apple.” It was a busy and windy weekend, but we had so much fun.

Hi! There's this wangxian fic I read a while back on ao3 but I can't find it again for the life of me and was hoping you could help. It's a modern cultivation-ish AU, where lan zhan had ended up cultivating to immortality and is maybe ?? a professor at Gusu campus ??? and I think sizhui and jingyi rescue Wei Wuxian from a cave. If I remember correctly, he ends up becoming an artist and eventually they reconnect through his art? Sorry that's all I can remember but it's been driving me crazy
oh hell yeah i love this fic!!! one of my faves and regular re-reads 😊💕🔥 it’s  不忘 | Don’t Forget by dragongirlG! copied the description below, and here’s the rec post i originally made for it!!
不忘 | Don’t Forget

RELATIONSHIPS: Lan Wangji / Wei Wuxian BLURB: when wwx is thrown into the burial mounds, he lands in the future
SUMMARY:
Wei Wuxian falls into the Burial Mounds and unknowingly lands two thousand years in the future. Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi find an unconscious man in strange historical costume at a restricted area of the Burial Mounds Memorial Park. Five years later, they all reunite by accident at Mo Village, and the man who claims to be Mo Xuanyu accepts a ride to the train station, trying to get away from his family home.
When an artist named WIFI posts a painting on Oasis containing pointed references to Lan Wangji’s original life, Lan Wangji restarts his millennia-long search for Wei Wuxian. Lan Sizhui worries over his father’s strange behavior, wondering if it’s connected to Lan Wangji’s long-lost childhood friend. A fateful trip to Dafan Mountain brings unexpected reunions, confessions, and realizations, culminating in a happy ending at the Cloud Recesses.

Yao: ready for the cosplay bash, tomorrow?
Zixuan: off course A-Yao. And it's so sweet how you're doing a fundraiser for unprivileged citizens who can't afford education.
You're fabulous.
Yao: thank you.
Education is very essential in life. How would the empire progress without it. Right?
Zixuan: *kisses dimple* right.
Yao: anyone can come to the party, but they must pay an entry fee of 5000 taels.
For my middle-class fox spirits, they just have to pay 400 taels.
Zixuan: how ideal.
Yao: I don't know whether to cos Abe no seimei or Wen Ruohan.
Zixuan: well you do look good in Wen robes.
Yao: you're right.
Zixuan: *grabs hand* Mr. Philanthropist. I'm also a generous person.
Yao: oh really?
Zixuan: yea Yaoyao. That's why I'm going to cosplay as my maid. But if he was gorgeous as me.
Yao: *laughing* you're going to cosplay Nie Huaisang?
Zixuan: nie GOLDEN ERA Huaisang, Yaoyao.
Yao: you'll look glamorous, Zishie.
Zixuan: thank you, baby.
And Huaisang should pay me as well as take notes.
Yao: of course he should pay. You restyled his trademark look.
Zixuan: exactly.
Meng Shi: *enters* Yao'er. Thought of anything yet?
Yao: yep. I think I might cosplay Wen Ruohan.
Meng Shi: amazing.
Your old boss did have some style.
Yao: mhm.
Meng Shi: I respect him, for giving you a high position in the Wen sect.
Yao: nice. What about dage?
Meng shi: nie gui fei is ungrateful and rude, but he has a soft side.
Yao: you're so right, A-niang.
Who are you going to cosplay?
Meng Shi: goddess Amaterasu.
Yao and Zixuan: awwwwww
Yao: A-niang, you'll look amazing.
Zixuan: you're already a goddess. So that will be very easy for you.
Meng Shi: aw Yao'er, Xuan'er.
Where's team d, Yao'er?
Yao: getting their costumes ready, for sure.
They said that they want to surprise me on the day of the party.
Meng shi: I see.
Meanwhile, in Pine Pavilion 📍.
A-qing: Dianxia. Let's cosplay Hualian.
Rusong: ahh Hualian. Sure. *squishes cheeks*
Rusong: you know A-Die had made him an ambassador and protector of fox spirit.
A-qing: oo how legendary.
Rusong: so who will cosplay who?
A-qing: *hugs* you'll be Xie lian. And I'll be Hua cheng.
Rusong: you, as Hua cheng?
A-qing: yea! Because you're a prince like xie lian and I'm your simp.
Rusong: *wraps his arms around her* seems about right.
A-qing: *snuggles*
Rusong: so you're a simp?
A-qing; Rusong, you know that already.
Don't tell xue yang
Rusong: sure. *kisses* I won't tell him.
A-qing: good, Dianxia.
But did your family contribute anything to the cause?
Rusong: yea. We contributed 5 million dollars.
A-qing: lovely. Your Meng family is so nice! Helping out your citizens.
Rusong: and you're part of that family. Being my girlfriend.
A-qing: *blushing* Rusong.
~~~
Next day, the party was about to start.
And many hulijings, as well as A-Yao's harem atarted arriving in their cosplays.
Mo xuanyu: *dressed as hulijing Wei wuxian* yangyang, how do I look? Will I be able to seduce Yao gege.
Xue yang: *dressed as lan qiren* hell yea. You look great.
Su she *dressed as A-Yao*: of course Huangdi will love it. Because you look cute.
However he doesn't have tastes like that evil Lan.
You're a better Wei wuxian because you have superior tastes.
Mo xuanyu: aww thank you, Shanshan.
Xue yang: why did you even cosplay Wei wuxian?
Mo xuanyu: cuz he's chill and I admire his style.
Xue yang: you got a point.
Su she: I'm cosplaying Huangdi.
Mo xuanyu: most perfect cosplay!
Xue yang: yea. Jiggy is the hottest in the Jianghu.
Xue yang: I'm dressed as Lan qiren so that I can make out with Jiggy's Wen Ruohan and pester him.
Mo xuanyu: yangyang, that's so smart.
Su she: quite mischievous.
Xue yang: team dimple is so fab. I believe we should replace people in the Jianghu. Like Minshan can replace Lan zhan, you replace Wei wuxian and I can replace Nie mingjue.
Su she: and our Huangdi will rule the world.
Mo xuanyu: everyone else would have to contribute to Yao gege.
Xue yang: ah, what a perfect world.
Mo xuanyu: *gasps*
Yao: *entering dressed as Wen Ruohan*
*opens fan*
*his attendants also followed him*
Mo xuanyu: *nudging Minshan* it's Yao gege! It's Yao gege!
Su she: he's coming this way. Dressed as an overlord. W...well he already is.....*blushing*
Xue yang: Jiggy is a sexy Ruohan.
Mo xuanyu: is that red and black eyeliner?
And his cheekbones are so profound.
Su she: guys, I'm weak.
Mo xuanyu: do you think we're qualified to talk to Yao gege?!
Su she: sometimes I don't know.
Xue yang: he looks like he'll ignore us.
Mo xuanyu: of course he will. He's better than everyone here.
Xue yang: let's not simp. Before we get a nosebleed.
Mo xuanyu: but it's already happening!
And Yao gege is super hot.
Team dimple: *covering their nose*
Yao: well well. *closes fan and folds his hands behind his back.*
Xue yang: Jiggy.
Su she: you look stunning, Huangdi.
Mo xuanyu: like really really fabulous.
Yao: uncover your noses.
Simps.
Team dimple: *uncovered their nose and knelt before him* you caught us, Huangdi. We were simping for you.
Yao: *smiling* well that's not a new thing. Rise.
Team d: *stood up*
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege. You're really flawless.
Su she: more flawless that Wen Ruohan.
Xue yang: *hugs, and kisses his neck* Jiggy.
You do so many things to me.
May I tie you up with my headband?
Yao: how about I tie you instead?
Xue yang: sounds better, Jiggybun.
Or should I say, Wen Zongzhu. *embraces some more*
Yao: lovely then.
Now stop, you're messing up my hair.
Xue yang: such a diva.
Su she: Huangdi. *bow*
Yao: awww look at you! I'm so flattered,
Shanshan.
Su she: the best person to cosplay.
Yao: you're so sweet.
Xue yang: what about me!!!!
Yao: you're a little sweetheart too. Lan Qiren.
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege.
Yao: beautiful cosplay A-Yu.
Hulijing Wei wuxian.
Mo xuanyu: yea! And hulijing Wei wuxian is at your service, Huangdi.
Yao: delightful.
*opens fan* now let's go.
Team dimple: *drooling while lost for words*
Yao: *smiling proudly*
Mo xuanyu: did you do your own makeup?
Yao: yep. And with some help from my servants.
Mo xuanyu: *blushing* waw.
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege, Yao gege. If Wei wuxian discovers that he's a hulijing, does he have to bow and show respect to you?
Yao: actually yes. Once you're any type of fox spirit, I'm your Huangdi. And they must pay respect.
Su she: *grinning* I want to see him and his husband bow to you.
Guests: *greets them*
Greetings Huangdi.
Hi Huangdi.
Yao: hello. Nice cosplays, guys.
Some more guests: Huangdi, we're dressed as team dimple.
Should we replace them?
Yao: ahahahaha, you can try! Anyways you three look fabulous.
Enjoy the party.
A Kitsune minister: Tenno (Huangdi)
Yao: greetings. How are you?
I'm fine Tenno, your costume party is very cultural. I'm recognizing various of mythological characters, heroes, and dieties of our pantheon. As well as they're people who are dressed as you and your family (including team d, the Mengs and his harem)
And all for a good cause.
Yao: yes, my citizens do have some great ideas for costumes. Hopefully we'll raise funds for education.
Very ideal.
I hope thay we get more cultural fundraisers like this. And in Dongying too.
Yao: certainly will be.
Enjoy the party.
Nice to meet you again.
Thank you very much.
Yao: let's go team d. We have more people to meet.
Xiying: *holding up a plate* try this, Huangdi. It's roasted duck.
Yao: delightful.
On the other side, Rusong and A-qing are dressed as Hualian, and Jingyi is dressed as lan zhan.
A-qing: *playing with the cloth from Rusong's straw hat*
Rusong: *smiling*
A-qing: gege.
Rusong: yes Sang Lang. *wraps his arms around her waste*
A-qing: gege, you look really adorable.
Jingyi: *being a third wheel* do you guys want privacy.
A-qing: *blushing*
Rusong: sorry, Jingyi. For making you uncomfortable.
*let's go*
A-qing: *clears throat*
Rusong: hey, how did you make your Lan zhan hairpiece?
Jingyi: with the help of my attendants. They're surprisingly crafty.
A-qing: that's true. They got me some Miao jewelry for Hua cheng.
Rusong: Jingyi, that's really cool! Your cos is on point.
Jingyi: I know Nainai, and maybe A-Die......team dimple....don't like Hanguang Jun. But I still do!
Rusong: it's fine. And I love your cosplay.
Jingyi: you make a good Dianxia too. Xie lian that is.
Rusong: thanks, A-yi.
Jingyi: oh look. Mistress Jin has arrived.
Rusong: Ling gege!
A-qing: dressed as Jiang cheng.
Rusong: mhm. We'll greet him afterwards.
Jingyi: yea. Lemme go tease him real quick.
See you.
Rusong: I'll be right there.
A-qing: *gently grabs his hat cloth* Mengs do look cute in hats.
Rusong: oh really.
A-qing: gege. *tiptoes*
*kisses him on his dimple*
Rusong: *kisses her back*
Meng Shi: *looking from afar, (dressed as Amaterasu)* good. She kissed my grandson.
Now I'm very happy.
Sisi: (dressed as Tsukuyomi~ the moon diety) they're an adorable couple, Huanghou jiejie.
Meng Shi: hopefully both will get married some time. And Rusong will have an heir.
Sisi: oh my.
Well that's meant to happen.
Meng shi: yes, certainly.
Anyways, Yao'er has to get a girlfriend for Yi'er.
Sisi: I wonder if Moling Su has any eligible ladies for Yi'er.
Meng Shi: maybe. But I want Yi'er to marry a noble hulijing lady. So that their children can care about their hulijing heritage.
In cultivation schools, they would always impose stigmas.
I would love anyone Yi'er falls in love with. But a hulijing is more ideal.
Sisi: I completely agree. If his children are hulijings, then less enmity between cultivators and hulijings would happen.
Meng Shi: correct.
All I want to do is protect my grandchildren and great grandchildren too.
My Yao'er was all alone when I passed away.
Sisi: at least you were there spiritually.
Meng Shi: yes but I wanted to be there physically.
Sisi: now you are, successfully. *bow*
And you'll get to be around your great grandchildren too.
Meng shi: ahh my aim.
I'm seeing Yao'er as Huangdi, now I want to see Song'er as Huangdi and with children. And Yi'er as a sect leader, along with his family.
Sisi: that would be so lovely!
Meng Shi: ah let's stop dreaming about the future, and get some wine.
Sisi: right behind you, Huanghou jiejie.
A-qing: *holding Rusong's arm* xue yang, can I borrow your fierce corpses?
Xue yang: why?
Do you want to be eaten?
A-qing: xue yang. I'm dressed as ghost king Hua cheng. Obviously I need an undead army.
Xue yang: that's a major loss for me. Anyways, be careful. And you better bring them back.
A-qing: yea yea. Xue yang. I got this.
I just want them to obey me so I can impress Dianxia.
Rusong: oh my.
Xue yang: *laughing*
A-qing: you did the same to impress Jiggy, so don't laugh at me!
Xue yang: alright alright.
~~~
Zixuan: *dramatic* Wen Zongzhu, please release my brother!!
Yao: *glares* no.
Zixuan: *pretends to cry*
........Anyways, keep him.
Less saber practice for me.
*opens fan*
Yao: *laughing*
Mo xuanyu: xuan gege! You look better than Huaisang.
Like you're more huaisang than huaisang.
Su she: less bratty too.
Zixuan: I must look good. Huaisang can't do it so.
Xue yang: you look like a rich Huaisang.
Zixuan: aw. Thank you Lan qiren. Haha.
Zixuan: Yaoyao, can we borrow a room after the party?
Yao: Zishie, are you drunk?
You already have a Pavillion here.
Zixuan: ahahaha oh right.
Mo xuanyu: I think Huaisang is consuming you.
Zixuan: I'm terrified.
A-Yao, A-li wants to practice acupuncture on me, because she's cosplaying wen qing.
Yao: oooo acupuncture. Sounds intimite.
Zixuan: *blushing* yea.
Would she hurt me?
Yao: out of love.
Xue yang: wow, I didn't know that you and Yanyan do these kinds of things.
How shameless.
Don't worry, I'm planning to papapa Jiggy later.
Yao: what?
Xue yang: what?
You think I won't do anything when you're looking hot like that.
Su she: please, have some conduct.
Mo xuanyu: i want to papapa Yao gege too!
Su she: ah, if Huangdi insists.
Hauiasang: *dressed as nie mingjue* awww Zixuan Huangdi, you're cosplaying me. I'm touched.
Zixuan: yes Huaisang. Despite you being my maid and an ex war criminal.
Huaisang: *crying* means a lot.
Zixuan: do i look more glamorous than you?
If you say no, I'll fire you.
Huaisang: you look better than me, don't worry.
Anyways, since I'm dage. I can boss you around.
Zixuan: oh now you want to get fired.
Huaisang: nooooo.
Aren't you going to do saber practice at least?
Zixuan: Sect leader Wen. It's that one! Keep him with you.
Huaisang: HUAISANG!
Yao: well if you suggest.
Mo xuanyu: you three are cute.
Zixuan: yea cuz we're competing for Jiang cheng's attention.
Xichen: *dressed as A-Yao* hi A-Yao. *smiling*
Yao: aww Lan Huan! You're dressed as me. You look really sweet.
Su she: how dare you, Lan lips.
Xue yang: you copied Shanshan just to snatch Jiggy away from us.
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege will always be ours, Lan lips. Ours.
Xichen: team dimple, there are a lot of A-Yao cosplayers here.
Not only Minshan and I.
Su she: you better change your outfit.
Yao: *hugs* Huanhuan. You know hoe team d is.
Xichen: yea I know about their pettiness.
Team d: excuse me?!!!
Yao: where are your dimples?
Xichen: I decided to leave them out.
Mo xuanyu: that's so disrespectful.
Su she: you're very very blasphemous.
Xue yang: what's wrong with you, dude?
Xichen: team d, I was working on the costume more than makeup. And I can't match A-Yao's cuteness.
Xue yang: those are just excuses.
Mo xuanyu: someone jail him already. He has done many illegal things.
Huaisang: team dimple will end this guys career for sure.
Zixuan: yea now please get me some refreshments before I end yours.
Huaisang: *pouting* yes Huangdi.
Zixuan: get some for yourself.
Huaisang: r..really?
Zixuan: it's a party, so. That's why.
*opens fan* don't get used to it.
Huaisang: Huangdi is so nice to me today. *sobs dramatically*
Mingjue: *dressed as Mobei Jun* Meng Yao, sorry I'm~~
Wait why are you dressed like him?!
Yao: preference. *twirls* do I look stunning, dage?
Xichen: come on. Our A-Yao is really really cute.
Mingjue: yes. Meng Yao, you look amazing.
Yao: thank you.
Yao: do you feel threatened by me, Chifeng zun?
Mingjue: what?
Yao: you look stunning as Mobei Jun.
That's what I said.
Mingjue: thanks.
Yao: get your ears checked, dage. Haha.
Mingjue: sometimes I can't hear you from this his height.
Yao: stop calling me short.
Mo xuanyu: you guys are like fire and ice.
Yao: yess. Because Mobei Jun is known for his ice cultivation.
Mo xuanyu: yea and dage is cold and lonely too.
Mingjue: mean.
Mo xuanyu: but it's true.
Anyways, stay like that. Yao gege is mine and only I should love him.
Su she: yea, only team dimple should love Ayao. Or else come up to team d standards.
Xue yang: exactly.
By the way, I'm loving the Nieyao dynamic.
Do you guys want a third member?
Wait. I'm Lan Qiren, I'm supposed to be whooping your ass for Ruoruo.
Mingjue: I'm from a different universe.
Su she: good. Finally you realised.
I was worried about you.
How can someone dislike such a perfect emperor.
Mingjue: Meng Yao, turn off your team dimple.
Mo xuanyu: but Yao gege does the opposite with his sexy self.
Xue yang: turn off, team d? *gasps* dage.
Su she: you could never get rid of us.
Zixuan: why is Liu qingge crying while drinking wine and stuffing his face with dumplings?
Oh wait no, that's my husband. Shoot.
Yao: Jiang cheng???? Where?!
Huaisang: he's my husband too!
Emperors: shushhh.
Xichen: he saw A-ling dressed up as him, and got emotional.
Yao and Zixuan: awwwwwwwwww.
Zixuan: he's a softie!
Yao: obviously he is.
Mo xuanyu: why were you stalking Jiang cheng, Lan lips. We spoke about this.
Xue yang: no way. He's dressed as Liu Qingge.
And acting like a wine aunt.
This is hilarious!! JIANG CHENG! POUR SOME MORE WINE! I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
So the kid cosplayed his Jiujiu?
Jiang cheng: yea, and he looked so adorable.
I feel so touched.
Xue yang: uh huh. Cute.
What brand of rice wine is this?
Do you have any sweet wine?
Jiang cheng: you dare ignore me.
Xue yang: I'm not a therapist. I just came here cuz you look like a crazy wine aunt. In your stoic Qingge cos.
Jiang cheng: sometimes I say that I would stay away from team dimple. But I still confront them. *rolls eyes*
Xue yang: *eating* isn't that a good thing?

Last Song: An orchestral rendition of "Midna's Lament" from LoZ Twilight Princess, from an album that we listen to pretty regularly in the house
Last Series: Spongebob Squarepants with Gremlin, and Kamen Rider V3 last night
Currently Playing: Gris, when I remember to pick up the Switch
Currently Working On: For fic, primarily "Equilateral," my MDZS canon divergence fic where Wei Wuxian and Mo Xuanyu are sharing a body, although I do have other WIPs. For original writing, a romance novel about a reformed supervillain romancing his boyfriend's husband. (Boyfriend and boyfriend's husband are also, naturally, superheroes.) For crafts, Gremlin's Link costume for Halloween--the hat turned out a bit snug, so I'm making it over, and I'll also be making a rupee wallet with resin rupees to go in it, a bomb bag with bombs, a pouch for his ocarina, and a tunic which I'm tailoring from an adult-sized green t-shirt.
Tagging: Uh. Anyone who feels like it? I'm tired today, do this and tag me and tell me what you're up to.

Idk if I've said it yet but I actually really dislike cql sjxkd I watched all 50 episodes (yes. I know.) And okay OKAY I'll admit that all my beef with the live action drama is plot changes.
Changing/censoring bc queer content is sketch in China? Fair!! Amazed with how much they were able to get through bc wangxian is sooo heavily implied I kiss them
Adding extra plot elements that undermine some of the core elements of the original story for ??? Reasons? Stop!! Please!!!!! I hate it I hate it what do you fucking mean the yin iron what do you MEAN Wen Rohan is practicing demonic cultivation and raising corpses á la Yiling Laozu (who rn is just a lil guy. A silly teenager) what are you TALKING ABT adding these?? Erroneous elements??? When Wei Wuxian is literally the FOUNDER of a sort of proper demonic cultivation he's the Grandmaster of that shit why does he have to be so heavily in Wen Rohan's crazy shadow 。゚(*´□`)゚。 the point is not that he and Wen Rohan did the same things and that's why ppl hated him the POINT was that he was not only sympathetic to the Wen refugees but that he was practicing a dark art that could make him rise to potentially greater power than the man who nearly (sort of) conquered all of the great sects!!!! The fear of the unknown on little knowledge!!!!!!!! They saw wwx raise corpses first to win the Sunshot Campaign and heralded him as a hero only as long as it suited their interests before turning their backs on him!!!
There is infinitely more for me to be snobby abt sjxjskdj but that's probably the main grievance. After that it's smaller things where I'm like ah!!! So close to what I wanted but then they did. Something else for some reason
Okay one more thing sjxk ik it's a case of wwx having only one actor but just giving him a mask as Mo Xuanyu THAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY HES JUST STRAIGHT UP THE YILING LAOZU UNDER THERE LIKE SIRR (ik it's also part of plot changes bc Mo Xuanyu iirc was an effeminate gay man i.e. the makeup wwx wakes up in in the books + yeah mxy was a cutsleeve)
Anyway the costumes the music the acting and plenty of individual scenes are SO GOOD I'm just a salty bitch subjected to more than 50% of fic being made by cql-onlys or ppl who prefer cql and I'm in my corner of ue that's not the canon I personally subscribe to but for the god tier fic I will do A Lot
Anyway final note cql is actually really good (is still a c drama and the way they film those is really funny to me I can't take a lot of serious scenes. Seriously. ALSO THE FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY IS SOO HILARIOUS like some of it looks cool but I can also see the actors being strung along by wires to do all this dramatic fighting and jumping and honestly I love it like they are so obviously being dragged backwards and lifted by harnesses. Perfection I love practical effects idc how silly they look)

The Untamed costumes, 1/?
Screenshots just keep piling up, so I thought I might try to put some of them in good use and make a series of posts of the various costumes worn by some of the characters. I'll try to proceed in some kind of "order of appearance", but this will by no means be comprehensive; and as I know nothing of the proper terminology, descriptions will be sparse and extremely vague 😁. So yeah, pictures mostly, again.
I'll skip the starting Nightless City scene for now and start with something easy: Wei Wuxian's resurrection outfit a la Mo Xuanyu.
Wei Wuxian's outfits 1: The resurrection outfit (episode 1)
This is the outfit Mo Xuanyu obviously wore when he performed the rite, and the outfit the resurrected Wei Wuxian wears for nearly the entire episode 1.
It is a relatively simple outfit and seems to have three layers:
white undergarment / inner layer (pants, shirt, skirt with pleats)
pale gold / beige outer robe with light blue, patterned trimming at the neckline and the sleeves
white, sleeveless vest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While the outfit is rather simple and informal (I think), the fabrics are rich-looking and have some really nice textures. And I just love the colour of that belt.
Tumblr media
It seems the undergarment is also sleeveless, so this must have been one of the lightest and coolest oufits for XZ to wear during the shooting.
Tumblr media
The pale gold outer robe has a rather Jin feeling to it, and I was thinking this might have been an outfit that Mo Xuanyu wore during his time in Jinlintai.
But his aunt's inner robe / undergarment has rather similar colours, so perhaps it is just Mo colours, even if they do not seem to have much of a colour scheme going.

This was literally "5 minutes craft" but I'm somewhat happy with the result... so let me share it with you.

cql costuming thought: so when meng yao first becomes jin guangyao, the robes he wears are very much not similar to the robes worn by jin zixuan or jin zixun, and look like something an official or high-ranking court attendant would wear, not what a cultivator and son of the sect leader would wear. obvious reasons for this.
after jin ling is born, he has a costume change to the (very nice) parallel collar, defined shoulders outfit, which, imo, looks very similar to what jin zixuan and jin zixun wear. if he removed the hat and wore a xiao-guan, he’d look like he belonged next to them and was, like them, a cultivator and relative/heir of the sect leader.
after jin zixuan dies and mo xuanyu is brought in he has another costume change to the yuanlingpao/round collared robe, which is once again not what we see jin heirs (including, later, jin ling) wearing, and very much feels more like something an official, or someone who isn’t using his sword and flying around night-hunting would wear in comparison to the parallel collar outfit.
and idk what to do with this other than like. it seems like the costumes are actually communicating that jin zixuan’s death fucked him over a lot, that, once jin zixuan’s line was secure (?) with the existence of jin ling, jin guangyao was maybe starting to be seen as less of a threat? more of a family member, even though he wasn’t allowed to hold the baby? something? like not given son status but maybe like. cousin status?? idk but the small period during which he is wearing similar robes to what jin zixuan, jin zixun, and jin ling wear has fascinating implications.

So... Beijin 2022, were you expecting me not to make a XueYu figure skating AU????
Mo Xuanyu: his mother was a figure skater who retired after some scandal (JGS was her trainer, so you can imagine). Doesn´t want to do anything with Jin family, so he went to Yilling for training. Aesthetic is everything, his programs are focused in expression, spins and step sequences. He´s a really elegant skater. Two seasons in singles when he was a Junior. Moved to pairs with XY after Gusu training camp.
Xue Yang: SongXiao adopted him and what he going to do? Not surpass his parents' career? No. Xue Yang is here to break all SongXiao old records and scare them. Aggressive style, strong songs, you won´t find him skating to sad violin music. That “nearly cuts judges heads off” movement? Yeah, he did that in his first competition, he´s that fucking extra. Same as Xuanyu, two seasons in singles (one in ladies before ISU allowed trans skaters to change categories) and then moved to pairs.
They´re the first same sex pair after the ISU stabilized the rule.
As I said they started as individual skaters, both with their style and all that. So well, rivals to friends to pair to lovers or something like that. They tried pairs after Lan Xichen said that they could work together and balance each other and well, it worked.
They both train in Yilling, JC and JYL train them (they used to do pairs), but Wei WuXian is the choreographer.
A really special pair, when they were juniors they both did the lifts . Xue Yang lifted Mo Xuanyu and they´re next movement was a throw jump but XY is the one in the air.
But then Xuanyu hit a grow sprout and they stayed with Xue Yang as the flyer.
Oh and Xuanyu design their costumes.
Mutual pinning and misscomunitation for a lot of time that ended like:
Xuanyu: if we make it to the podium, you own me a date
XY: ok
They got gold (GPF 2008, Carmen was their SP and The Curtain Falls from Farewell My Concubine in their FP) so Xuanyu kissed him as soon as they got their medals, right in front of everyone.
WWX whistled, JC almost kills them.
Also, we´re in Olympic season so, they´re music for Olympics cause of course they make it to Olympics and win TWO TIMES.
Pyeongchang 2018:
SP: Poet Soldier King and FP: Green green dress + Roxane
Then Beijing arrive and THEY´RE AT HOME
THEY´RE GOING TO WIN
SP: surprised everyone by skating to I don´t dance from HSM, simple costumes, not baseball-based cause we´re not jocks but not as glittery and transparent as Xuanyu would usually sew. Almost perfect program, had problems with the throw jump, it ended up being a doble instead of a triple but they made up for it with dead spiral being amazing.  Ranked 2.
FP: Sympathy for the Duke + Only Girl in a Material World. Extra costumes, both with flowy skiers and a lot of gems. Start as a calm program, breaks in the middle and goes up so fucking hard. A 4T-3S at almost the end because WHY FUCKING NOT. They both end up crying because well, their third Olympics and it wasn´t 100% clean but they´re so proud. Rank 1.
SO YEAH, THEY´RE OLYMPIC GOLD FOR A SECOND TIME SHUT UP THEY CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT THEM TO DO.
Gala: MUSICAL TIME AGIAN. This time Elisaeth because, E X T R A, it´s amazing. There´s costume changes and a kiss.
Xuanyu: hey remember the gold promise thing
Xue Yang: sure
Xuanyu, pulling a ring out of his pocket: well
So yeah XY takes it a a gold, thet get married in secret, no one knows it
They attend to a few more evetns after that last OG and JL/LJY pair (who are their juniors) take their spot as China strongest pair after they leave
Part 1 * Part 2 * Part 3 * Part 4

Villainous Quartet (Jin Guangyao, Xue Yang, Su Minshan, Mo Xuanyu) + tiny bit of Chengyao : Part 2
I suck at writing villains so take my dumb Modern AU headcanons:
There's a pole dance room for four in their house because JGY does pole dancing in order to stay in shape, and teaches the other three how to pole dance. XY uses what he's taught at the strip clubs and MXY uses it when he's creating gay porn 3d videos online. SMS does it at the regular gym that has a fireman pole. It's meant for decor, but the staff allows him to use it. He gained popularity, which led to a fitness pole room to be built.
JGY and SMS practice Han Buddhism, so there's an alter, scriptures, statues and more in the house. XY and MXY don't believe in religion.
The company JGY works at is an up and coming marketing company with no relation to the big families: Jins, Wens (run by Wen qing now), Jiang, Nies or Lans. The CEO plans on handing him the company after retirement in a few years.
Since this is modern au where nepotism and filial piety isn't as concrete and social media exist with therapy available, JGY isn't big on gaining his father's attention. He remains and prefers to be estranged from his father, and refuses to take on any Jin project since he's all too aware of their shady business through MXY.
JGY is the oldest of the four. SMS is the second by a few months. XY the third by a year, and MXY is the youngest by three years.
XY and JGY are childhood friends and neighbors who grew up in the slums. JGY was able to get into a wealthy private academy through his grades (since public school is a thing) while XY dropped out of middle school and worked odd jobs.
XY became an orphan when he was 8 because of police brutality. He was taken in by JGY's mother when JGY asked her to. Sisi is around to help pay the bills and is the one to keep XY on the straight and narrow to attend beauty school like her once he was of age.
Meng Shi is alive since medicine has improved, and JGY was able to work off her debt once he entered the work force.
Meng Shi does want JGY to be recognized by his father, but she doesn't force it, especially when JGY tried to talk her out of it. She currently works with Sisi at their beauty salon.
JGY met SMS at the private academy in the same grade, and the two became close friends after being paired up for gym.
MXY is from an upper class family, but like in ancient times, is treated poorly by the main family for being the grandson of an affair between the master and servant.
He meets JGY and SMS at the same private academy. SMS came to his rescue when he was being bullied, which he's done for any other kid in the school as if he was a hall monitor. This one was different since JGY and him were brothers, so MXY clung onto them to keep the bullies away.
XY would tease MXY when they were younger, but MXY didn't mind since XY's own was harmless compared to the hostility he faces from the main family and classmates.
Unlike JGY with Meng Shi, MXY is actually not close to his mother at all like many kids with mothers who were more concerned with image than actual happiness. He still sends her money and gifts weekly, but doesn't see her in person unless she requests for him to make a public appearance. He forces himself to for the sake of her health since she would become hospitalize if he doesn't try to see his father when possible. His mother would gloat about her son's freelance work for important companies, which is worth speaking of since despite being a shut in, MXY's tech work is no joke.
If MXY didn't meet with JGY, he would've worked for his father after obtaining a degree in computer science because his mother told him so. But since he did, he avoids his father, cuts off all connections with the main family, and is living a happy life with his new family.
Since all three have jobs except for SMS, they split their spending this way: JGY's money goes into mortgages, daily necessities like food, and bills because of his job is stable, which is why he is the declared breadwinner. MXY's money goes into buying new tools or appliances, especially the newest versions, and any possible home repairs. XY's money goes into home decor and vacation trips since he's always the one to decide where they go. SMS is the one to directly handle all finances since he's the househusband.
XY makes them go to Anime con in cosplay EVERY YEAR. It doesn't matter what is happening in any of their lives. THEY HAVE TO GO. So JGY always makes sure to always mark that week free and get all his work done. MXY books the business class plane tickets with the first class hotel rooms. SMS prepares the luggage so that absolutely nothing is forgotten. XY is the one in charge of preparing their costumes, and they wear different cosplay outfits for all four days to make the most of it.
MXY loves birds and absolutely hates cats. He pretends to be allergic to cats, so as to avoid them. For birds though, he has the backyard of the house become a bird utopia filled with bird baths, feeders, homes, and plenty of bird first aid kits. He also doesn't eat chicken but doesn't mind it if others do. If he does eat chicken by accident, he bows to his bird utopia for forgiveness since he doesn't like wasting food.
For his drawings, MXY would usually look up photo references, but when he is unable to find the correct angle or lighting, he would have the three help him by modeling. And since they don't have any female friends besides JGY's friendship with Yanli, they have fake boobs and vagina underwear. JGY is unfortunately the main victim to wear these things. But MXY has them do it in a secure location, always makes sure to photoshop his face out of it, destroy the original, and then treat him to whatever he's in the mood for.
When JC discovers the vagina underwear, JGY threatens to murder him if he ever speaks of it to anyone else. And JC doesn't think that he's kidding that even when completely drunk out of his mind with Wei Wuxian and his mouth is about to speak of it, he remembers the threat and shuts up immediately.
