Shakespeare x MDZS/The Untamed Masterpost

This is my ongoing art project to pair up screenshot redraws of characters from MDZS/The Untamed with quotes from Shakespeare. There is no end in sight, but also no schedule. If you enjoy these and want to suggest a quote for a particular character, hit me up! I’ll try to get through as many characters as I can (in no particular order).

Terms You Might Want To Know For Your Wuxia/Xianxia Fic

MXTX's danmei are getting increasingly popular, and the fandoms are getting more fic-happy. I've noticed that some writers seem interested in writing their own fics but are concerned of making mistakes with niche honorifics and titles. I've noticed some that have jumped right in, but have made innocent errors that I'd like to correct but fear coming off as rude or presumptuous. And so I've made this list of terms that covers the basics and also some that are a little more niche since they're usually directly translated in cnovels.

DISCLAIMER: This is by no means a comprehensive list of everything one needs to know or would want to know concerning ancient Chinese honorifics and titles, merely what I myself consider useful to keep in mind.

Titles
  • Shifu: 'Martial father'; gender-neutral
  • Shizun: 'Martial father'; more formal than 'shifu'; gender-neutral
  • Shimu: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher
  • Shiniang: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher who is also a martial teacher
  • Shibo: elder apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral
  • Shishu: younger apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral
  • Shigu: apprentice-sister of your shifu
  • Shizhi: your martial nephew/niece
  • Shimei: younger female apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shijie: elder female apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shidi: younger male apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shixiong: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shige: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you, specifically one who has the same shifu as you or is the son of your shifu
  • Zhanglao: an elder of your sect
  • Zhangbei: a senior of your sect
  • Qianbei: a senior not of your sect
  • Wanbei: a junior not of your sect

DRAWTOBER #19 - Adagio for Crickets and Train Whistle by ChaoticAndrogynous

Brilliant musician Xiao Xingchen is travelling with his old friend from university, Song Lan. They're headed to a rental property for a week of quiet before the next leg of Xiao Xingchen's tour begins. But something is bothering Xiao Xingchen.

a beautiful little modern AU that not only hits my songxiao requirements (exploring Song Lan's mysophobia and XXC's vision impairment!!!) it knocks the whole thing out the park! I've not seen an AU before that explores XXC's past as anything other than him being raised by Cool Hippy Mom Baoshan Sanren, so it's really intriguing to read a fic that allows him a bit more complexity, and Song Lan grappling with his desire for closeness with XXC vs his revulsion with touch is compelling and compassionately written. a sweet and emotionally bittersweet read with a lovely ending.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Sòng Lán | Sòng Zǐchēn/Xiǎo Xīngchén Characters: Sòng Lán | Sòng Zǐchēn, Xiǎo Xīngchén Additional Tags: other characters who are pretty obvious but its a vibe thing, Spirits, Underworld, Ambiguous/Open Ending, Ambiguous Relationships, I wrote Song Lan as autistic in this btw because he very much has that vibes, Post-Canon Summary:
Song Lan’s quest to restore Xiao Xingchen’s soul does not progress even slightly how he thought it might Traveling to another realm never even crossed his mind as something that might occur.

New Fic from yours truly for the MDZS Reverse Big Bang  based on art by @wwxadhd <3

Check it out if you want something with strange and lightly spooky vibes, or are interested in a Song Lan focused character piece which is what this turned out to be oops

Reminders for the Anxious/Depressed Creatives

  • You’re more than what you make.
  • Your productivity does not determine your value.
  • It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.
  • Not everything you do has to result in a product.
  • Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.
  • You can make things just for yourself.
  • You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.
  • You’re allowed to say no.
  • You’re allowed to rest.

2023 Updates:

  • Inspiration doesn’t cure burnout. Rest cures burnout.
  • People will wait for you; take your time and come back when you are ready.
  • It’s okay to scrap projects that no longer excite you, even if other people like them.
  • It’s delightful and excellent to be openly proud of your work.
  • Afford yourself the same gentleness that you would afford another creative - negative self-talk is counterproductive and frankly cruel.
  • Self-indulgent creations are satisfying to others as well; don’t apologize for your own pleasure.
  • Actually, don’t apologize for your work at all.
