Working hard on the business!!

I had a lot of fun working on this piece that fits well as a companion to this one! I really, really enjoy Wuxi and Zishu's side hustle and think about it a lot.

More musings on this piece below!

I have been thinking a lot about Wuxi and Zishu's relationship for the past few months--working on the translation of Qiye has given me a fresh look and new perspective on it which I feel like elaborating on for a bit.

While they come from very different place and are 5 years apart in age, Wuxi and Zishu seem to rather quickly relate to each other due to both being outsiders--to the capital and its codes. It's very sweet to see how quickly Wuxi seems intrigued and interested in Zishu, wanting to know more about him and quick to react when he's around.

Beiyuan is Wuxi's only friend so far, and I think it's very refreshing for Wuxi to find another person with whom he may be able to relate more on some regards, and whom he can look up to in terms of martial arts skills and craftiness. This is a personal HC of mine, but I sort of see Wuxi as having this sort of (fully platonic) "cool older guy crush" on Zishu.

Because of that, I feel like Zishu showing interest in Wuxi and going as far as to offer him to collaborate must have been incredibly validating and exciting. It was a way for Wuxi to be more independent, do something for himself aside from his own training, aside from his role as the young shaman of Nanjiang. Something for his own experimentation and profit--be useful, but also be shown respect and interest by someone he himself is interested in and respects.

I like to imagine that Zishu was already interested in poisons given his field of work and potentially learned a thing or two about that back in Siji manor--even potentially worked on some of his own, and was therefore more than excited to be able to figure out new things with Wuxi's help. On top of that, it must have been pretty fun and gratifying to work on this side hustle which in turn also helped gain some more control over the population (welp).

So yeah! It's nice to think more about what lead to the bond they have, and I can't help but think of how affected Wuxi must have been in TYK when he discovers Zishu's state several years later. Regardless of how helpful Zishu was when Wuxi worked to get Beiyuan out of the capital, he was a friend first and foremost and that alone must be a big reason why Wuxi is so determined to find a way to save him.

(that aside, the illustration was more fun to make than I initially feared. I usually don't like having to work on a ton of tiny details LOL but somehow the atmosphere here made it entertaining!)

(btw! I don't know if I mentioned it before, but in case I didn't: I transliterate "Wuxi" as such ((in one word)) because, him not being han, it feels more right to transliterate his name in a non-han fashion as well. It's unlikely that his family name is Wu and first name is Xi--rather, Nanjiang/Wasa names seem to work differently ((same for Axinlai and Nuaha)) than the typically han family name-first name model. Many thanks to Lianzi and the other members of the 7.0 team for bringing that up! That's it!)

Writing propaganda is so difficult for me bc, like, how do I even begin to show it better than lines like “You are the breath-taking view of mountains and lakes in the remaining years of my life, the rising clouds tinged in sunset colours. Now and forever, I will keep on loving you a little more” (4 o’clock flower) or “He loved him so much, missed him so much, he missed him in the barracks, he missed him in battle. In the depths of his shattered memories, he loved him, thought of him, missed him.” (Yuwu) or “If it’s with you, if I can be together with you… I am fearless.” (Where is Our Agreement to Be Arch-Rivals?) or “Only after having met you did I discover that its such a simple thing to be happy” (TGCF) or “In this life, you will be the only one in my heart. In the next life, and the life after that, I will forever remember you, so long as my soul hasn’t scattered.” (Qi Ye) or “To place my life in your hands, even if my end is death, it is something I’ll never regret” (Peerless) or “You are just like my reverse scale. You live, I live. You are my life. Therefore, no matter how difficult things are in the future, or how arduous life becomes, I want you to live” (Nan Chan) or “As long as this ending can be changed, I am willing to die for him a thousand times” (Mist) or “I fantasize about seeing my reflection in your eyes on day, just one look, I’ll be willing to do anything that is asked of me, even pulverizing my body and shattering my bones no matter how many times…” (LHJC) or “Whatever he wants, I’ll give it to him. If he wants my life, I’ll stake my life for him… there’s no betrayal to be had.” (Liu Yao) or “I will always be with you. Life or death, I will bring you home” (2ha) or “This love has always been doomed. Yet, knowing that it’s perpetual doom, that it’s infinite destruction, the moths still throw themselves into the fire until they meet their very deaths” (Cold Sands) or “I hope that you will hate me all your life” (Golden Stage) or “Won’t you turn back and look at me? If you turn back and look at me just one time, even if you were to ask me to climb up to the roof and jump off, I’ll do it.” (GuoMen) or “Whereas Ruan Nanzhu sat at his side, gazing at Lin Qiushi with admiration in his eyes, his whole look a litany of I love you I love you I love you” (Kaleidoscope of Death), or…

Hi [Character],

I notice that you haven't responded to my email about the [Terrible and Useless Committee] that I'm putting together. Don't worry, I know you just forgot so I've put you down as a member anyway. See you at the meeting this evening.

[Person Who Has Just Ruined Your Day]

I'm sure that we've all had similar emails to this (just me...?). Usually the two choices are to join the committee (and suffer) or refuse (and worry that everyone hates you) (just me again...?). However, in cdrama there is a very logical, very necessary third path!

Faking your own death.

Now, is there a convenient cliff anywhere around here...

Propaganda, examples, and write-ins are absolutely encouraged!

Ahem! Now that I've got your attention, did you know that our boy Wu Xi is currently in the @/crown-and-scarf-tournament, competition for the title of the most beloved leader? And did you know he is currently losing by a very small margin (with 49.4% of votes for him)? he won another round since then, but is now having a real tough time? Well, now that you do, you can go and vote for him here. Love and snakes on planet Earth 🐍💚

What if i told you I was working on something...but I have to know if other anyone is interested...

sometime last year I started putting together all of my Qi Ye 七爷, Lord Seventh, sketches, drawings, doodles, all of it, and got it into my brain to turn them into a zine. Although I've never done somehting like this before, I like it a lot and so yeah! This is a very small sneak peak, but I'd like to know if anyone would be interested in that sort of thing!

All the drawings in it that i haven't posted will probably be posted in the future too so even if you weren't interested, I still plan on posting them! :3

It’s so funny how much more Jing Beiyuan’s looks are emphasized in TYK as compared to Qi Ye (which makes sense cuz the main pov’s in Qi Ye are Jing Beiyuan himself, who obviously doesn’t really think about it, and Wu Xi, who is in love with him and therefore not a reliable narrator when it comes to being an objective source for Jing Beiyuan’s physical appearance). Like literally every time he appears on page, the pov character, no matter who it is (even poor Chengling, who is baby but still gets sent into instant gay panic), is like “omg this is the hottest person I’ve ever seen in my life” and given Jing Beiyuan’s entire personality (aka he’s a weird old man at heart), it’s just a very funny contrast

#mind you a highly entertaining contrast #I love how without fail Jing Beiyuan dazzles everyone who meets him #and then they spend like 5 minutes with him #and the shine wears off and they’re like ‘this guy is so weird/annoying/pretentious’ #qi ye #moonie posting #tyk
