I originally wanted to do the art from every chapter like this, like film screencaps, but that wound up not being sustainable . I had great fun with this one though!

DRAWTOBER #9 - save the bees (ride a beekeeper) by Ariaste
There are bees in Meng Yao’s car. Who will rescue him???
look. LOOK. every piece of modern AU xiyao content that Ariaste creates is PURE GOLD and this one is no exception. hilarious. adorable. put me in a good mood all day. what more do you need?
😆😆 perfect art for that fic: charming Lna Xichen and discombobulated Meng Yao 🤩🤩
Here’s my art for the @mdzsrbb with an amazing fic from @iamwestiec :D
12k of XiYao fake dating, it’s *everything*
the untamed liveblog | episode 26
I’m having a situation over how Jin Guangyao’s modes constantly flip between “disarming smile” and “performance anxiety” (in both meanings of that phrase! – how much of it is an act, and how this ratio changes over time and depending on who the act is for)
I’m also having a situation over how much he seems to genuinely like/respect/want the approval of Lan Xichen, even as he continually lies to him. god, what a mess.
world cold and hard, a-yao warm and soft
[id: a very simple drawing of lan xichen and jin guangyao embracing, their hair fanning out around them. lan xichen has his face buried in jin guangyao’s chest and they both have their eyes closed, contented.]
Awwwww 😍🥰
Thought I would finally start Nirvana in Fire cus I've wanted to watch it for ages and I want to move on from Word of Honor, not be obsessed for too long, so I get a viki account, read your primer, get some tea and nuts, ready to go, click play and - HOLD UP WAS THAT ZHOU ZISHU FALLING OFF A CLIFF?
ALL THE STREAMS CROSSING AT ONCE! Zhou Zishu falling like Wei Wuxian but it’s a palace drama!
(His role is very small in NIF, due to the plot turning him into (actor) Hu Ge, but he does have a couple of nice scenes)
If you want your head to REALLY explode with crossover madness, here’s Zhou Zishu wearing the famous Nie-robe fabric in Legend of Yun Xi. That Nie Mingjue sure does get around!
It looked more like Lan Xichen’s robe to me 😆😆 but I am sure NMJ and LXC would share 🥰😆🤣
@canary3d-obsessed ‘there was only one robe?’ 😆😆
And that, kids, is the story of how the twin heroes of yunmeng met the twin jades of lan.

Pictured above: JC and WWX arriving at Gusu Skating Complex to participate in the annual Gusu Training Camp for the first time.
So a short note about Gusu Skating Complex - it is a full complex, equipped with facilities such as a running track, a gym, a pool, physiotherapy rooms, dance studios, etc. So the rule is that you should not be running in the Cloud Recesses Skating Hall, bc that area is for skating! if you need to do off-ice warmups, you can head down to the running track, or use one of the warm-up rooms next door. It is Gusu after all, everything has its place.
More figure skating AU here: (x)
Excuse me! Who dared to make them so beautiful? (°//w//°)
Happy Valentine’s Day folks~~
xiyao shyly holding hands?
i died perhaps around three times in the process of figuring out xichen’s robes but !! here they are !
tagging @pip-says-hi who also wanted a cute, happy xiyao <3
(sketch requests still open >:0)
They are so cute 🥰
We talk a lot about Nie Mingjue’s Da-ge energy (valid and true) but we don’t often talk about how immediately and thoroughly Lan Xichen brothers Wei Wuxian?
First meeting: BAM. Look at that fond ass look. Xichen’s like, ‘This kid is funny as hell and I can tell my brother is perplexed by his feelings, I’m thinking a summer wedding.’
Already making excuses for him and leaves it up to Wangji to decide punishment and not his Uncle.
Later, at the lake, Wei Wuxian is like ‘I knew Wangji’s boat had evil kelp on it cause it was heavy and stuff.’
Lan Xichen: Good catch, kid.
Wei Wuxian’s reaction?
This lil’ gifted, low self-esteem, ADHD 16 year old is glowing. BROTHER’D.
Later, when Wei Wuxian is like ‘I TOLD YOU THE PUPPETS AND THE LAKE SHIT WERE CONNECTED.’
Xichen: Yes, honey, you did (and I was politely trying to get you to shut up about it) but well done, you’re very clever. [Bonus Lan Qiren hating everything about being nice to Wei Wuxian]
Wei Wuxian’s reaction?
WWX: 😳🤯🥺
Lan Xichen saw another brilliant, neurodivergent kid and said ‘is anyone gonna adopt that?’ and didn’t wait for an answer.
