So this got a bit out of hand…the initial plan was to recreate one of my favourite Wei Wuxian scenes…the one at the Burial Mounds where he plays the flute in Lan Zhan’s undershirt, only with a bit more wooshiness in the hair.
Then I began playing around with colours and lighting…and uh - yeah. Tears.
I am not sure why I added them, but for some reason, they seemed weirdly fitting? I did save a version on which he doesn’t cry, and it hits so differently.
I love Wei Wuxian, and I wish nothing more than for him to be happy…not sure why exactly I did this, but it felt weirdly cathartic.
(Also the blood writing on the shirt is less than accurate.)

I am crying, like, legit tears right now. I am overwhelmed.

The rabbit is highly stylized, but still distinctly detailed enough as to be really impressive, and maybe if it weren’t for the bow around its neck, or the little heart it seems to be sending Wangji’s way with a wink, or Wei Ying’s messy signature, Wangji might be able to control his emotions better.
“Like it?” Wei Ying grins at him, tapping the cast gently, “the ink will probably seep into the plaster over time, so I’m just gonna have to keep repairing it, but it’s nice, right?”
Wangji would like to respond, he really would, but - and surely it must be the combination of the painkillers and, and everything else - he’s quite incapable of it.
“Wei Ying,” he manages at long last, embarrassingly hoarsely, “thank you.”
I’m so, so lucky to have you.
“You’re welcome!” Wei Wuxian grins, scrambling to his feet, “listen I’m gonna go get dinner, and then I’ll probably pass out, but can I come see you later? I suppose we’ll both still be stuck here tomorrow during the morning activities. I’ll bring the donkey!”
“Do not bring the donkey,” Wangji warns him, but then an idea forms itself, before Wei Wuxian can run out and disappear from him again. “Bring your harmonica, instead. There’s a song I want to teach you… If you can play it. Is your throat too sore?”
“It’s fine!” Wei Ying laughs, “okay, I’ll bring it, I’ll bring it. Lucky it’s just your leg that’s broken, huh? At least you can still play the guitar.”
“Yeah,” Wangji smiles, “lucky.”

If you haven’t read @bilboo ‘s Wangxian summer camp!AU Welcome to Gusu yet, you’re seriously missing out. This is a scene from chapter V.
They’re both supposed to be thirteen years old here, and I’m aware that they don’t necessarily look their age (especially Wei Wuxian looks too old) - but then again I personally met seventeen-year-olds that I easily mistook for twelve, or even fourteen-year-olds who could have passed for twenty-year-olds. Who knows with teenagers? They’re hella difficult to draw, I am telling you. Oh, I tried, that’s the essential. XD
I quite like Lan Wangji’s face though. I wanna squish his cheeks!

I have written a few more words of my novel, and I had forgotten just how lovely writing can be.

Hahahahahaha I totally did not make myself sad by reading back over my own writing in chapter 12 of An Unexpected Journey. Nope. Not me. I would never do that
Except I have Ex feels now. More than usual.

The first time you looked at me, it was with hatred in your eyes.
You said I was loud, annoying, brash, that I spoke before I thought.
You were right.
The hatred did not disappear from your eyes for a very long time,. It was still there the second time we met, but we were older, and some things might have changed.
Maybe I did.
Maybe you did.
We will never know.
It’s interesting to look back at all the years we’ve been through together. Sometimes I think about our beginnings, and I actually have to laugh. We could have been fast friends, you and I, if we had just allowed ourselves to look at each other properly. But youth and prejudice and eagerness to please made us both blind, it seems.
We discovered that we weren’t that different at all, and the hatred in your eyes was replaced by curiosity, and friendliness, and soon after that, by laughter.
Your mouth doesn’t always laugh or smile, but your eyes do, whenever your heart does. I could see it from the very beginning; it just took me ages to realise that I could.
Now I see the world in your eyes. The universe exists in them; it’s where shooting stars are born and flowers bloom. I cannot stop staring at them, they are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Your whole face could change, the colour and shape of your eyes could be altered, and I would still be able to recognise you by the way you look at me.
No one has ever looked at me like this, outside of family.
As if I wasn’t just a nuisance.
As if I was worth something. Meaningful.
Loved.
Please never look away.

I write my final exams for my job training over the next two days and I just spent several hours looking for a document i need just to find it inside my school binder.
This is fine.

The last missing piece, after Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui in the Mirkwood!AU nobody asked for, but apparently everybody wants - Wei Wuxian, all bright colours and warmth, the sun shining brightly behind his head.
I know that he isn’t wearing a circlet; I did that on purpose.
I…didn’t mean to make him look as if he was leaning against the frame but it does kind of fit??? Like, he’s leaning against that rock on the right…then again, Wei Wuxian has always been doing things his way, so it’s fine, I guess. 😄
I will wait a few days and then post them side by side, because they are effing glorious like that.
Once again, I’m tagging @bilboo , who’s busy screaming about this just as much as I am.
Let’s see where this AU takes us!

“I just finished the one with Lan Wangji”, she says.
“This will only be a sketch for now”, she muses.
“I won’t be finishing this tonigh anyways”, she claims.
…why am I always lying to myself???
Well. Anyways. Since I’ve already made a Thranduil!Lan Wangji piece, I just couldn’t leave out Lan Sizhui giving us his best Legolas impression. He still wears his father’s colours but usually significantly less white than Lan Wangji does; the white cloak just makes it easier to remain unseen within the snowy landscape.
…which is slightly less snowy for Sizhui. There are Chinese red plum blossoms (at least that’s what they should be, I tried, okay?) that bloom in winter, and tiny patches of baby grass at his feet. It’s cold, but there’s sun, and he chases it, trying to catch it to thaw his father’s frozen heart.
I was planning on this to be a three part thing, a bit like a triptych, and I will post them next to each other once they’re all finished.
I used a pose reference for this, provided by the ever so lovely @senshistock .
(Also tagging @bilboo because I threw the sketch of this at her face, and - yeah. XD Also for the major support you’re giving me these days, Annie - thank you! )

Hi lovely! Quarantine Ask: 3, 13, 27 :) Hope you're staying happy and healthy
Isabelle! I did mention your Sauron cake to @bilboo today; I hope life is treating you well. We absolutely have to meet once this whole thing is over.
3. What show/YouTube video(s) do you put on in the background when you when you don’t have anything to watch but you want something on?
Oh usually cooking videos, or even DIY videos I find super interesting but I know I won’t ever be making them. Or funny cat videos.
13. Brunch or midnight snacks?
To keep my reputation as a Hobbit intact - both?
Although I’m a late riser and a night owl, so probably midnight snacks.
27. What section do you immediately head for when you walk into a bookstore?
Young Adult and Fantasy. No idea what that says about me as a person, but there you go.
Thanks for asking! ♥
