bottom yue qingyuan week is already over but here is my (late!) contribution (combining prompts for days 1-4: xuan su | training; ling xi caves | scars; ownership/possession | diplomacy; and qi deviation | repression/restraint) — open in full view for best quality!

[id: scum villain fanart of yue qingyuan as an older teen in the ling xi caves, looking down at the ground and kneeling in front of his shizun. yue qingyuan is battered, bloody, and bruised. a bruise in the shape of a handprint is on his neck. xuan su, surrounded by flames, is pierced into his back. glowing scars in a lightning-style pattern surround the area where xuan su pierces his skin, as well as on his chest, neck, and jaw. his shizun has a hand on his head, more possessive than affectionate. spots of gray hair appear right below where his shizun's hand rests. /end id.]

[ID copied from alt: Digital fanart for Grandmaster of demonic cultivation. It's a portrait of Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng in their youth. Wei Wuxian has one of his arms slung over Jiang Cheng's shoulder and the other on his hip, seemingly excitedly explaining something to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng is struggling upright under Wei Wuxian's arm, flustered and annoyed. Both are wearing dark clothes, Wei Wuxian's with red detailing and Jiang Cheng's - with purple, but Wei Wuxian's has a purple ribbon in his ponytail while Jiang Cheng - a red earring. Behind them is a sea of stylised white lotus flowers and a red moon hanging in a dark red sky right behind where Wei Wuxian's and Jiang Cheng's heads meet. End ID]

pls stop flirting in public its becoming a hazard

[nebulations]

[ID: A sketchy TGCF comic. Xie Lian says thoughtfully, "I wonder how I taste..." and Hua Cheng smiles, "I can help with that." Behind them, Mu Qing and Feng Xin look horrified and distressed as they imagine an evil Hua Cheng biting a crying Xie Lian's arm while He Xuan and Yin Yu respectively puke and huddle up crying as they share an "18+" thought bubble. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng both smile sweetly while looking up to the same thought bubble, imagining themselves making out sloppily. End ID]

I bet those post-canon heavenly meetings are.... interesting.

Xie Lian shows up reeking of ghost qi, Pei Ming is amused but Mu Qing and Feng Xin sure aren't, poor Ling Wen is still paying for her crimes, Quan Yizhen is NOT paying attention, Yin Yu reformed recently and has a bad feeling. Plus the absentees Lang Qianqiu who overslept and Yushi Guang who is living her best life and still doesn't bother showing up.

[danmei-described]

[ID copied from alt:

The xianle trio sitting on a table next to each other. Xie Lian is on the middle looking happy and literally radiant (he's shining, there's a full battery symbol above his head and a butterfly perched on his shoulder), while mu qing and feng xin look away looking very uncomfortable.

Another 3 characters sitting next to each other: Pei Ming on the left, he looks amused and elbows ling wen, who is in the middle, she's face palms and looks tired, with stacks of scrolls and books behind her. On her right, Quan Yizhen is zoning out and blushing. There is a thought bubble where he's kissing Yin Yu (making out meme) and restoring his energy

Yin yu has a full-body shiver, and looks both pale and flustered. Hua Cheng is behind him, holding one of his butterflies and looking confused by his sudden reaction

Lang qianqiu, his tiger and Guzi are sound asleep. Guzi is hugging a small green lamp with a mean face drawn on it. Qianqiu is hugging the tiger's head, which is lying on top of him.

Yushi guang gathering crops, she stares into the distance while wiping her forehead. On her basket there are potatoes and radishes. End ID]

I can't find the post i made about it before but just a reminder that Binghe takes the concept of consent extremely seriously

When Shang Qinghua asks about it in the 100 questions extra, Binghe straight up says he wouldn't want to have sex with someone unless they were into it

In the RPF extra, Binghe said he'd stop at a furrow of Shen Yuan's brow and Shen Yuan agreed

And we even see this this in action when Binghe steps down the second Shen Yuan says no to something

Even when Binghe was out of his mind at Maigu Ridge having a qi deviation, Luo Binghe still asked Shen Yuan why he hadn't pushed him away or killed him

TLDR: anyone who portrays luo binghe as a sex creep is going against canon and is mischaracterizing him!

[danmei-described]

[ID copied from alt:

“If you can’t have a person’s heart, then you should at least have their body.’ Do you approve or disapprove of this line of thinking?”

“Without the heart, what use is the body?” Luo Binghe asked.

After Luo Binghe finished reading, he said, “As for this disciple, he never could have forced you like this. If Shizun merely furrowed his brow, this disciple wouldn’t have been able to continue. How could | let Shizun sob like this yet still not stop? The depiction here is a bit unrealistic.” Not only was it unrealistic... It was OOC. Completely OOC—OOC all the way off the map!

“Luo Binghe, even though this master has allowed you to... | never allowed you all this variety,” Shen Qinggiu said in a warning tone. Luo Binghe started. “Oh. This disciple understands.” He looked a bit disappointed, but he didn’t push the issue. Now Shen Qinggiu was the one feeling uneasy.

Luo Binghe’s tears fell like pearls cut from their string, rolling down along his shoulder. He helplessly held Shen Qinggiu with one arm while muttering, “Shizun, don’t hate me... | didn’t know... | never wanted to hurt you... Why didn’t you push me away? Why didn’t you kill me?” Shen Qinggiu stroked his back gently, again and again. “This master knows. This master was willing.” End ID]

[huabeatins]

Was thinking about how Xie Lian's neck looks post-canon / without the shackle ( ◡‿◡ *) (Also I colored this in the evening while my blue light filter was on the screen so please view with blue light filter on xD)

[nebulations]

[ID copied from alt: A TGCF illustration. The background is a muted green. It has some leaf texture and light and dark areas. Xie Lian is shirtless and all of his hair is tied up loosely. He’s facing the viewer with his chest but his head is turned to the side, exposing his neck. He is cast in shadow except for his face that is in sunlight. His eyes are closed and he is smiling softly. There are some small bruises, hickeys, on his skin - on his neck, collarbone and next to his nipple. He is wearing an earing with a red bead and a butterfly and the ring from Hua Cheng’s ashes around this neck. Both are glowing softly. End ID]

Wei-gongzi... How horribly you died.

[nebulations]

[ID copied from alt: Digital fanart for Grandmaster of demonic cultivation. It's a portrait of Wei Wuxian as Yiling Patriarch at the last moments of his life. The canvas is square and shattered into pieces bu a long vertical crack, it's parts lined in gold. The portrait itself shows Wei Wuxian destroying the Yin Tiger Tally. The crack runs straight through it - and through Wei Wuxian, who seems to be caught between laughing and crying, his face tired but carrying a bright smile. Behind him there is an opening of a cave, beyond which there are green flames under a dark sky and Jiang Cheng's dark silhoutette walking closer. The golden frame splitting the portrait shows silhouettes of three children - two boys and a taller girl - running towards some sort of a pavillion. The boy on the left has a ponytail, and is separated by the same long vertical crack from the other kids. The kids on the right are running towards him from under a silhouette of a tree with lanterns flying above them, feeding into the crack. End ID]

[ID:

An excerpt from Scum Villain that reads: "Even if this was a dream, he still couldn't drag his feet and pussy around like this. He had to be decisive. If he..."

Tumblr tags that say, "took me three re-reads to realize that "drag his feet" and "pussy around" are two different phrases."

A photo of a person who's almost flat on the ground, but pulling their hoodie and head up as if they're propelling themself forward like that. Their feet carve grooves into the grass.

The same as the prior image, but there is a third carved line of dirt coming from their crotch region. End ID]

take it ez on ur shizun bingbing!!!

[ID: Scum Villain fanart of Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe cuddling naked under covers. Luo Binghe looks up at Shen Qingqiu tearily and asks, "Shizun, how was that? Was it better at all?" Shen Qingqiu looks away, blushing, and mumbles "... acceptable" while thinking, "Holy shit... If he tries any harder I'm gonna die." Meanwhile, Luo Binghe says, "Oh... I'll try harder next time 💔".

thank you @nebulations for the ID!

shen qingqiu is flirting with him and he is confused

[id: an incredibly flustered yue qingyuan from scum villain. he is raising his right arm, covered completely by his robes, in front of his mouth. his eyebrows are furrowed and his eyes are wide with both confusion and embarrassment. question mark symbols surround his face. end id.]

If I had a coin every time you offered me glue, I would have three coins. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird.

[nebulations]

[ID copied from alt: Shang Qinghua is complaining while Shen Qingqiu is listening to him annoyedly. “After talking so much, your lips must be dry,” Shen Qingqiu says. “May I offer you some lip balm?” Holds out a very obviously stick of glue that says, “It’s definitely glue.” Meanwhile, a chibi Shang Qinghua is screaming, “Stop offering me glue!” End ID]

[airplanebroo]

At the monthly peak meeting, Shang Qinghua has once again disgraced himself when his PC crashed, revealing his desktop background.

This is a redraw/spiritual successor to the original one on twitter.

[Mar. 1 Edit: This is the original one that I just uploaded to tumblr!]

[nebulations]

[ID copied from alt: Shang Qinghua is holding his head because Shen Qingqiu is attempting to hit him with his paper fan in front of a live audience. This is because Shang Qinghua’s laptop froze and crashed mid-presentation, revealing that his desktop background is a naked picture of Mobei Jun basking with his tits out, with only a cape over his shoulders. This is not the first time this has happened. End ID]

Another sketch dump!! Some notes:

1. Another butterfly dream scene

2/3. I spent way too much time thinking about the french cover for vol4. Please go look at it if you haven't yet

4. HC being able to feel his ashes credit goes to the fic "A kiss to turn ashes into fire" by VampireFaun on ao3

5. I tried giving HC pointy ears... Too cute, too whimsical

6. HC 100% faked that cold

8. Idk who came up with humanized ruoye and eming first but I love seeing fanarts of them they are too cute

[danmei-described]

[ID copied from alt:

Xie Lian sitting on a swing while Hua Cheng pushes it, they are smiling at each other

Hua Cheng wearing a corset and a crop top, tits out, inspired by the outfit he's wearing in new french cover for vol4

Xie Lian blushing while covering his face. In the back is the memory of the ghost rut scene with HC wearing the outfit from the previous image.

Xie Lian absentmindedly fidgeting with HC's ashes and rubbing the ring against his mouth while he reads. HC is dead on the floor family guy meme style

Hua Cheng with pointy ears

Xie Lian spoonfeeding a sick Hua Cheng. HC is very happy

assorted sketches: shy Xie Lian hiding behind his hat, Xie Lian pinching shrunken HC's cheeks from vol5 and princelian holding a small honghong'er to his chest

humanised Eming and Ruoye as small kids. Ruoye is happily hugging a sobbing Eming

Xie lian with different expressions: concerned, curiously looking up, talking angrily and smiling happily. End ID]
