Dream of the Endless.
the fox, a letter, and an unplanned adventure by soullessdivine (Dragon Lan Wangji and Fox Wei Wuxian)
A dragon huddled against the wall, its once majestic frame appearing tiny and frail. Its pearly white scales had been discoloured with the purple and dirty green of bruises and day-old wounds, and scratches that clearly broke through to skin. Sensing Wei Wuxian’s presence, the dragon shifted its head ever so slightly to look at him. If the signs hadn’t been clear enough before, those amber eyes were confirmation enough. “… Wangji-xiong?”

Truly, it was as much a present for me as it was for you to draw the ep 50 coda that fandom deserves!
Ohhh you're reading JJK! Any favorite characters? Art on the way?
It's the obvious answer: Gojo /laughs I haven't drawn anything yet but I've been tempted. Maybe I do a live stream on twitch Saturday and take some requests. Not sure yet
WangXian Holiday Card I know Lan Wangji should really have bunny ears, but I just couldn’t resist. And if you’re on my card list, you’re getting one of these whether you’re in this fandom or not XD
another edited stack of anon asks ^^
I love reading but I haven’t had much time to do so lately which, in a way is good, because I’ve been drawing more :) I read a lot of Exile Literature, Non-fictional philosophy books and Sci-Fi/Fantasy, The first two genres probably aren’t all that approachable so I throw in some from the later: Absolute fan of Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Trilogy and of Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicle (tho I do feel a certain way about the last book still being somewhere in the limbo after almost 5 years behind the scheduled publishing date >_>)
I don’t really read comics, I do read a lot of manga tho. The list is a bit endless so I feel like I should skip a few (a lot) but here are some favorites in no particular order: SNK, Gintama, Noragami, Skip Beat, Battle Angel Alita, Blade of the Immortal, Samurai Champloo, Rurouni Kenshin, Trigun, Yami no Matsuei, Akira, Zetsuai, Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle, Berserker, Dorohedoro, Banana Fish, Redrum, Goth, Jujutsu Kaisen.......... eh I could go on forever lol
________
I don’t have a favorite art because I have quite a few and I couldn’t possibly pick one. I also have many favorite artist but to name a few I was/am heavily inspired/influenced by in my own art: Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh, Benjamin (Zhang Bin), Loish, Yuumei, Soeymilk
_______
That is also quite a broad question that I only can answer generally w/o writing a novel ^^° I mostly listen to Rock/Metal, some Rap and a lot of OST from the video games I play
________
Hope your curiosity was somewhat satisfied, anon/s :)
not the order all the asks came in but I had to sort them bc it would be a huge spam if I replied to each one at a time ^^°
So here we go. I got into the TW fandom an eon ago, the show was still on its second season and I was mainly in SPN fandom back then. My TL got dominated by Sterek fanart and edits so I had to check out what the heck it was all about... and then I fell down that rabbit hole lol My fav chars are Stiles, Derek, Allison, Melissa and Chris. And, yes, I made great friends all around the globe during my active times in the sterek/tw fandom that I'm still in contact with. Some of them I reunited with in MDZS fandom and I couldn't be happier about it <3

The Army of Poland employed a brown bear as part of an artillery team in the Second World War. His name was Wojtek (pronounced "voytek") and he worked in the 22nd Artillery Company.
In spring of 1942, after the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, thousands of Polish citizens and elements of the Polish military were deported from Soviet territory. They journeyed through Iran to British Palestine.
Along the way, they encountered an Iranian boy with an orphaned bear cub. According to the boy, the cub's mother had been killed by hunters. The teenage neice of a Polish general convinced an officer to buy the bear cub, which they nursed back to health and eventually made their mascot.
The bear was trained to perform a military salute, cuddle with soldiers on cold nights, and even march with them by standing on his back legs. He copied the soldiers in every way, even attempting to smoke cigarettes (he usually just ate them).
When the Polish army finally reunited with allied forces, they were assigned to join the invasion of Italy alongside the British 8th Army. However, the transport ships banned all pets and mascot animals.
The Poles refused to leave Wojtek, and got around the rule by drafting the bear into the army as a legally recognized soldier. He had his own personal records files, his own paycheck, his own dogtag ID number, and even held the rank of Private.
It wasn't symbolic, either. Private Wojtek actually participated in combat at the Battle of Monte Casino by carrying 100-pound crates full of artillery shells. It was a job that normal required four men, but Wojtek did it alone and perfectly, never dropping a single shell. His actions kept the artillery barrage well supplied until Allied forces finally seized the fortified mountaintop from Nazi paratroopers.
In recognition of his excellent performance, Private Wojtek was promoted to Corporal Wojtek and the 22nd Artillery Company made their flag the image of a bear lifting an artillery shell. They still use that flag today.
After the war, Corporal Wojtek retired to the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland, where he was frequently visited by fellow Polish veterans, who game him cigarettes just like old times. He enjoyed a long and happy life, weighing over 1,000 pounds as any successful brown bear should. There are several memorials in his honor, both in Poland and Scotland.
Do you have instagram?
yupp, I'm Tsumi_Art on IG and Tsuminoaru on twitter. I would say, I'm most active on IG atm. So if you're interested in keeping up with the stuff I work on that would be the best platform, I guess. I've got a bit addicted of posting reels of WIPS 😅 I only recently started to remember to look at my Tumblr again because I signed up for the WangXian x-mas exchange 😅
Omg, the cornerstone is my love !!! I am so glad that I learned about this work and all these arts, which are simply incredible <3 thanks to everyone who worked on this work, because thanks to all of you (and especially the translators) people from other countries were able to enjoy this magic <33
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was my favorite fan project to work on to this day. Both Em and Mai are amazing people, super fun and so talented. And ofc kudos to everyone who helped translate that amazing story. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Also it was turned into an original story so perhaps you'll consider supporting the author and get a copy for yourself to read <3
Hello! Your art is very amazing! I love everything you've drawn so far, so very pretty 😊 I've been thinking of comissioning you when you accept them, how long do you usually take to draw a piece? Thank-you very much !
Hi! Thank you so much! It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy (lol) inside when someone likes my art enough to consider commissioning me! Unfortunately, because of my various short comings, I am not very reliable timewise or production wise. Which is also why my commissions have been closed for a while now. I might open 1-2 slots in 2022 again if I feel like I can deliver something within a reasonable amount of time (3-5weeks) but at the moment I'm still playing catch up with the various things that are still overdue.
HEY! Do you have any favorite Sterek stories?
Absolutely! Some of them are jossed tho because they were written before certain canon happened. I have a public bookmark that you are free to go thru here
My personal fav on the top of my head that I re-read a few times:
also I absolute recommend those authors if you want more and also anything by Grimm
Hi do you have an online store for your art? 😭❤️
here you go :) I don't have everything on there but if you're interested in a particular work you can always DM me with a link
