[餘知傳] The 2nd Century Warlord (Part 1)
based on the story by @romanceyourdemons
art by @its-not-a-pen
Tumblr media
first day as a second century warlord i have my men tie branches to their horses’ tails to stir up dust and make it look like there’s a lot of us but i forget it just rained so there isn’t any dust and the enemy can clearly see there’s like twenty of us all spread out in a line
Tumblr media
second day as a second century warlord i bribe a bunch of kids to start singing a nursery rhyme i carefully crafted to spread misinformation and further my strategic ends but they change the lyrics to be about poop and the enemy isn’t misdirected at all
Tumblr media
third day as a second century warlord i lure my enemy into a narrow valley and send a team of archers to shoot them from the high ground but there was a feral hog napping on the trail up to the overlook and they couldn’t decide whether to try and shoot it or just go around and by the time the hog woke up and left on its own the enemy had already passed safely below
Tumblr media
fourth day as a second century warlord we attempt to join a battle on the side of the guy we want to ally with but he and the guy he’s fighting have really similar names and it’s finally dusty and i misread the standards and attack the wrong guy. so now we’re stuck with this total loser of a liege lord, because how the fuck do you explain that after a battle?
Tumblr media
fifth day as a second century warlord and some sort of wizard wanders into camp, my loser liege lord wants to execute him for being a wizard but i convince him to let the wizard stay, because i want to do more weather-based strategies and i’m pretty sure having a camp wizard can help with that. after the welcome to the team banquet the wizard steals half the treasury and my liege lord’s wife and leaves
Tumblr media
sixth day as a second century warlord my loser liege lord sends me to reinforce a city he’s taken, but in the confusion of leaving i forgot to take the token that would have gotten us into the city, so my men have to wait outside the city walls for like eight hours while i ride back to get it
Tumblr media
seventh day as a second century warlord and my loser liege lord finally joins me in the city, it turns out he’s actually a pretty cool guy, and he isn’t even that mad at me for letting the wizard steal his wife. i decide to shoot my shot but i’m really nervous and keep on stalling because what if i mess up our relationship and by extension jeopardize the security of my men, and eventually he just says goodnight and goes back to his room, where an assassin is in the process of setting up to kill him
Tumblr media
eighth day as a second century warlord and my loser liege lord tells me to fake defect to his rival warlord, the one i originally wanted to ally with, to find out if he was the one who sent the assassin and why. but my whole way over to the rival warlord i’m worried that this has something to do with the wizard thing or how awkward i made it last night
End of Part 1
This comic was made independently from the creator, I'm just a fan and these are my own interpretations.
Notes under the cut:
the title 餘知傳 [the Story of Yu Zhi], is the styled name of the Second Century Warlord. I translated 餘知 as [plentiful knowledge] since he's defined by a surplus of knowledge but a deficit in luck. It's also great for fish-based puns since it's a homophone. As a nice parallel, Loser Liege Lord's banner is a carp ;))). the art style was inspired by vintage Chinese comics.
Tumblr media
The story is set during the Three Kingdoms period, (220 to 280 AD) natural disasters, infighting and civil unrest had dissolved the previous Han Dynasty, leading to a violent free-for-all. I based the clothes on the previous Eastern Han styles, mainly because there just weren't a lot of contemporary references from the 3K period (and it only lasted like, 60 years). I always strive for historical accuracy, however, the Han Dynasty was over 400 years long and some sources don't do a great job separating out the different fashions, so I apologise for any mistakes that occur.
2. there aren't a ton of drawings on what Han children looked like, but in general ancient kids hairstyles are pretty consistent. 9-15 yo boys had shaved heads with two little top knots, girls had natural hair in braids/buns.
3. the crossbow (back left) makes a cameo, it was associated with Zhuge Liang, famous real-life strategist from the 3K era.
4. the LLL and his wife thank the Warlord, (a noblewoman on a battlefield??? scandalous!). it shows the LLL enjoys the unconventional and the wife is not as timid as she appears. I thought it would be funny to make them look as Background Character (tm) as possible.
5. I based the wizard's design on sages from mythology. (Hey, he's not a total fraud, he invented gunpowder 800 years before the Tang dynasty!) Nice little character moment for the LLL who is shielding his wife.
6. What do soldiers do while they're waiting for 8 hours? (<-from the right) playing knucklebones with pebbles, whittling a little horse, feeding sparrows, gossiping with neighbour, drinking from his gourd, napping. A minor warlord can't afford to keep a professional army so they're most likely conscripted farmers who've had to buy their own weapons and armour, hence why they look so unimpressive.
7. LLL offers the Warlord a bitten peach. Inspired by the legend of Mizi Xia who bit into a delicious peach and gave it to the Emperor so he could taste it was well. "Bitten peach" was a byword for homosexuality in ancient China. I thought it would be SO funny if the LLL was actually smooth af and the Warlord was a like a teenaged girl crushing for the first time. He's desperate to taste that peach but is too timid to reach out >;))) man has zero game. negative game, even. truely the PS4 of homosexuals. RIP to the assassin in the back corner who was forced to watch the most awkward, cringe-fail attempt at flirting in the history of china play out.
8. this is what zero peach does to a mf. UnU

Have the random thing I thought up this morning
Warriors walked along the path, following Legend as he navigated them through his Hyrule. The vet was explaining the many things they should look out for, black birds, random rupees on the ground, normal things for most of them he should think.
"-and make sure you-" squeak squeak! The sudden noise made them all stop, and look around. Legend began looking around. There was a look of slight annoyance and uncharacteristic worry on his face. "Where are you..." He muttered. Squeak squeak! The second it sounded again, Legend knelt down and look underneath a bush with a small smile. "It's okay, c'mere..." He whispered, holding out a hand.
"Ledge? What are you doing?" Time asked him softly, all of them looking extremely confused. That was until he pulled his hand out and held up a small pink octopus with a blue shell. Squeak squeak! It squealed with a happier tone. Legend smiles at the small creature before setting it on his shoulder.
"Everyone, this is a Maiamai! You won't find anymore, this little guy is the last one, but I used to find them nearly everywhere!" Legend's voice seemed to go up an octave as he was talking about the little creature on his shoulder. "You guys keep walking straight, my housemate will welcome you in, I gotta take him to Mother Maiamai-"
"Mama Mai?" The small creature whispered. Legend's face turned up in a smile and he tickled the small Maiamai with his finger.
"That's right, Mama Mai, I'll take you home..." he tells him softly. "Shouldn't take me long, I'll see you later!" Before he walks in the opposite direction away from the group, leaving them confused. Who is this and why does he look like Legend?
•-•
The next time they see Legend, he looks a mixture of confused, traumatized (more than usual), and upset.
"She's gone, she took her babies somewhere else..." he says with a disappointed sigh. Ravio walked over to him and clapped his shoulder.
"That's a good thing though, right?" He says with his usual smile.
"Would be, if she didn't eat me beforehand." The room went silent and all eyes went to Legend.
"....do you wanna-"
"Fuck off."
"Okay." Twilight says before turning away.

Relapsing, Eclipsing and Reminiscing
I fear your return,
a terminal glistening of divinity;
I fear as the time I mourned resurfaces,
facing me face-to-face with that face of despair.
Kilometric peripherals,
an algorithm I beg to bend,
and no matter how much sunscreen I apply,
I just can't seem to leave my past.
If I could write to my past self,
I'd assure him:
the only narcissistic egomaniac
was the caricatures you'd come to know.
I can only try:
a Fahrenheit to Celsius,
a wannabe Plato,
a confused nomad as to why it's still my fault.
This eclipse was not beautiful,
it was a little script of lies, and discomfort,
to which I found
not even the sun loved me anymore.

FREAKING OUT WTF
So vro, obviously I'm freaked out. My family (mom and both sisters) are out shopping for groceries and shit. I was eating peacefully then when I got to my room I found the balcony door open. I DID NOT open it. And I do forget things a lot but I'm pretty sure I didn't. Then I see a fucking figure outside the balcony door. Ofc I shut the door and move on but bro istg I'm seeing smth staring at me from the window. I can totally be seeing things bc I've been stressing out lately. If I stop blogging out of nowhere, you know damn well what happened, come find me.

I made this fantastic take on the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog by @sadoeuphemist and @ospreyonthemoon into a tiny book.
🌊 It’s A8, which is about 5x7cm or 2x3 inches (ish), and has 96 pages.
🌊 The river on the debossed parts of the cover is textured foil.
🌊 I took the river theme and ran with it, so almost every page has an ukiyo-e style illustration.

okay so you talking about Fiddler and fruma sara (spelling?) reminded me of the time my sister and I were housesitting over our community college spring break and on the last Saturday before classes resumed we had some sort of fun thing to go to but not til the afternoon so we lazed around, walked the ancient dog, and goofed around getting ready and looking nice. So there we are around 11 am in the bathroom singing Tevye’s Dream over the sound of my sister’s hairdryer, and we think we hear a sound - but we say Nah Can’t Be A Sound. So we keep singing, and really go wild with the vibrato on the line “pearls!! PEARLS!! PEEEAAARRLLLSSS!!!” and this time we’re like okay there DEFINITELY was a sound so my sister turns off the hairdryer and
the neighbor is at the bottom of the stairs yelling HELLLOOO bc originally she was supposed to walk the dog bc our event was earlier but the homeowner never told the neighbor that our plans had changed and we COULD walk the dog.
amazing incredible beautiful 😂
that song is really so much fun to just go full opera mode on - I have a blast every time I get to that line!! I guess it’s just as well you didn’t get to the “I’ll come to her by night, I’ll take her by the throat” bit with the neighbor standing there 😂 this made my day thanks

he def took her back to his hotel room.
Tumblr media
Stella, a standout among Hugh Hefner's mansion of models, was held at the highest ranking- causing her to not be easily swayed by the glitz and glamour that surrounded her. One night at one of Hugh's infamous parties, she meets a tall guitarist with a thick German accent and a wandering eye.. He was the center of attention, a magnet for the girls that fluttered around him like moths to a flame. But amidst the sea of faces, his gaze was fixated on one person, and one person only- Stella. Her stubbornness becomes clear to him quite quickly, but he's confident he can win her over- she isn't so easily convinced. Being that having a boyfriend was frowned upon in the mansion, Stella decides to let him chase her- finding his efforts quite entertaining. What started out as a playful game of cat and mouse, quickly escalates. The stakes grow higher, the bets become risker. It was an intoxicating dance, one that was all fun and games until one particular night. The game took a grim turn. Tom, the man she thought she could see straight through- reveals a secret that would alter the way she saw him forever. The silly little dance was now a destiny for madness.
