I’m in the mood for a fic where…

I have almost 40 of these, so I broke them in half.  If your request isn’t here, just wait for the next post.  Also, I’ll need more help than usual, because I didn’t have a lot of time to find things.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***  Y’all might be interested in submitting your Mood For cravings to the @mdzs-kinkmeme, where authors lurk with pens ready to slake your thirst.  It’s also a prompt collection on AO3: Mó Dào Zǔ Shī | The Untamed Kink Meme 2021 Q1.

1. Do you know any fics where Wei Wuxian grows up in Quinhe with the Nie sect? I just got the thought in my head that Wei Wuxians moral compass is actually very similar to that of Nie Mingjue, who believes in fairness and justice and pursues both relentlessly, even though their personalities couldn’t possibly be more opposite, with Wei Wuxian being quite arrogant and eager to prove himself, and Nie Mingjue being rather down to earth and humble. Also I kind of enjoy the idea of Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang as partners in crime and I think it would be awesome if they had grown up together.

My Non-Yunmeng Wei Wuxian post has a Nie section in it.

2. gosh I love your blog so much…..you’re really out here being the fandom mvp 💯💯💯 [Aw, thanks!]  so, my question is, can you recommend some fics where wwx is a teacher? preferably post-canon with baby lan juniors, but I’ll also take modern au stuff; I’ve exhausted everything I could find with my limited searching capabilities and I am THIRSTY for this trope!! it’s just what wwx is so perfectly suited for, I could go on for hours about teacher!wwx lmao (also I’m going to start my own teacher training in a couple of months’ time, and as someone who projects on wwx far too much, it just really hits the spot yknow) [Good luck with the training!!!]

Here are works I’ve tagged with #teacher wei wuxian.

9. Hi! I’ve read few interesting LZ fucks fics from your recs [hee, hee, hee]; in which either LWJ hooks up to cope with his crush on WWX, then WWX finds out, is into it and realises his feelings; or they are strangers and start to hookup as some kind of arrangement. Now I’m looking for something different and more angsty, where they’ve known each other but WWX is not fine when he discovers that LWJ fucks. Maybe it hurts him since he’s already aware of his feelings, or it somehow makes him feel less worthy of LWJ?

13. An in the mood for ask: Stories that are the opposite of Yunmeng brothers reconciliation - where wwx doesn’t reconcile with jc. I just rewatched ep 34, so I am not very jc-friendly right now. Are there any fics where wwx confronts jc for not helping wq+wn, or for how he treated wwx before and after timeskip? Where wwx honors jyl’s sacrifice as her choice, and jc doesn’t get to blame him for it? Where wwx says, I don’t owe jc anything? ~ @kitsileya

Since Rule of Wolves came out last month, I decided to illustrate again Nikolai Lantsov from the grishaverse by @lbardugo. I really really wanted to draw him again. What can I say about this character? I totally fell in love with him, he is one of my main book boyfriends and I can’t wait to get my hands on that book and specially to see his casting for (I hope) next Shadow and Bone season. Hope you like this hunk!

Zhang Zhehan taking every opportunity to fix Gong Jun’s hair | Us finally realizing that if we didn’t have Zhang Zhehan we never would have gotten this scene because he came up with it omfg

Bonus: Director’s Reaction

1. “Why am I the Director? I should just retire and leave this to Zhehan, he’s got it well in hand.”

2. “That seems like a good idea.”

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo | Chapter 27, pgs 374-376

So here is Kaz fighting like a whole gang by himself like an idiot. Or at least part of it- I did not have the stamina to draw him fighting the first six dudes and I really needed to draw the iconic bloody smile at the end (and bloodthirsty Inej). It probably shouldn’t have taken like three months but picked a bad time to start it, with family and holidays and getting laid off and job hunting so it was hard to find the time and motivation. Also I picked like the most painful scene in the book to try and draw honestly. I’m never going to try and draw a fight scene ever again. Or stairs. Or anything. Also for the millionth time i goddamn hate how tumblr shrinks images.

《山河令》 Word of Honour (2021) ⌘ Episode 31

note: 拐走 (guai3 zou3) which is what ah xiang says in the first gif, literally means “kidnap” or “abduct”. when used in a romantic context as in “x 把 y 拐走了”, it can also mean y has fallen for x and y’s heart has been “taken by” x. I’ve translated it here as “escape together” so that it’s slightly more in line with the literal meaning of the word and makes more sense with the following clause, but the figurative romantic meaning absolutely works too!
