From your tweet about the reincarnation prompt, it sounds really similar to 25 Lives by Tongari. Hope that helps, looking forward to your Zhongven fics as always!
IT IS!!! AAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH MUAH MUAH YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!!! Now I can sleep in peace :""))))
If you feel like you’ve been unproductive today, try to take solace in the fact that you weren’t the one that inadvertently launched yourself into a half-hour brain fart because you’ve just realised that Yue Jin and Li Dian wear very similar scarves in their DW9 designs.
I was fully ready to do a complete PowerPoint presentation on how this confirms their ship as seaworthy, and the whole they’re simply two people who wear scarves in the same colour-coded faction thing only occurred to me after an embarrassingly long time comparing their renders side-by-side, making notes on how best to articulate my obviously groundbreaking and valid arguments.
RRAAAAAAAAAGH I FORGOT THE MOST DAMNING PIECE OF EVIDENCE OF ALL!!!1!1!1!!!11
THEY HAVE A DUET! THEY LITERALLY SING A SONG TOGETHER! HOLY SHIT HOW COULD I FORGET THIS?!
It’s called True Power, and this is a link to it on YouTube. I could leave it at that, but I’m going to point at the lyrics and grin for just a minute (as per a translation from the Koei wiki, that is):
To save myself from writing an essay as we go, here’s the whole thing. I can’t really comment on the more detailed word choice side of things here since I can’t read the lyrics in their original form, but there are definitely some inferences you could make from the English translation.
My brain at 3 AM: why wont KOEI make Ding Feng has nicknames for other officers? Imagine Ding Feng calling Lu Xun 'Little Swallow' with endearment. Imagine Ding Feng calling Zhu Ran 'Firecrackers' to with a boom in his voice during battle. Imagine Ding Feng calling Gan Ning 'Mr. Golden Bells' and Gan Ning mistakenly hears it as 'Mr. Golden Balls' and just rolls with it
so you said to remind you to update 36 questions to fall in love so pls do <3
HAHAHAHA. I did!! Sadly, I haven't finished writing it because I wrote another fic. I can't guarantee anything but I hope I can post it around next month. Thanks for reminding me! (Dw I won't abandon this asdgdjkl)
So I know this is gonna sound weird, but I found you on ao3, (was looking for Dynasty Warriors stories) and in reading one of them (Zhu Ran and Lu Xun), you mentioned having shipped Cao Pi and Lu Xun, and it brought me back to 7 years ago when I used to be part of a DW roleplay community on deviantART where Cao Pi/Lu Xun was very prominent there. It had me wondering if you had been part of that community too? If not, I'm sorry for the random message about this ^^;
Sadly, no. Now I feel like I'm missing out something :""""""")))))))
“Secret Saibou Master Archer” & “Saibou Master of Coins After Meeting” by Ai Akagawa, 17xx
From the same universe as my fanfic, sfumato. Read it here
So, I was busy for the last couple of weeks (from work, the gay and european video, and another animatic I’m working on). Sfumato will be on hiatus for next couple of weeks, but I can still do some world-building because I love doing that more than writing the fic itself. That and I’m a trash for Mem and B
(I will finish sfumato don’t worry guys).
Below the cut is some background to these two dorks in this AU. Also the version when the two pictures was combined
Note from an art historian:
We previously thought Lady Akagawa stopped painting once she became the royal consort of the king. But we thought wrong. Recently we uncovered some of her works and it turns out she didn’t stop painting at least until a few years until her death.
After her marriage, her painting consisted of series of potraits from her husband’s ranks in the palace. This was probably due to her increased responsibility as a queen thus she rarely had time to paint complex painting.
A few years after her marriage she painted these two paintings and it looked like she painted it at the same time. The man “Saibou Master of Coins After Meeting” was a member of her husband’s Crown Council, Sir Mamoru Keiichi, and the man “Secret Saibou Master Archer” was a captain in Saibou Army, “B”[1]. Although the two paintings contain the word master, only “Master of Coins” was a true title. Master of Coins was a rank bestowed to the Crown Council member responsible to oversee the crown and kingdom’s currency. While “Master Archer” was Captain Kazuhiko “B” Benji’s nickname for his provision in using a bow (legend said he was invisible once he wielded his bow).
We have talked about Akagawa’s use of floriography in her works here and these paintings are another example of that. Both men had a pink rose in their background. What interest us is Akagawa’s take on this flower. After all, pink rose can be applied to both romantic and platonic feelings. Most historians took it as a symbol of their friendship. The two of them were known to be close as stated in Mamoru Keiichi’s personal records. But recently it came to light that the paintings were originally one and if they were combined then it will produce this.
Another interesting thing to point out is the name of both paintings. If we were to take both of these men’s ‘titles’ off, it will produce “Secret” and “After Meeting”. Was this a hidden message placed by the Queen herself? After all: 1.) It was no secret that Kazuhiko is called Master Archer by his peers 2.) There was no indication that Sir Mamoru was off from a meeting (the title simpy doesn’t make any sense) and 3.) Both of the paintings were originally one
We might never know the real answer until we find more records. But it is an interesting thought to dwell on.
This is my respond to david pro because how dare them to deny us Acquired Immunity episode??? Anyway thanks for silencedfalcon and gaycalculator for the orig...
I MADE A GAY AND EUROPEAN EDIT OF MEMB BECAUSE 1.) I’m such a trash for this song 2.) I’m a trash for MemB 3.) HOW DARE DAVID PRO TO DENY US ACQUIRED IMMUNITY EPISODE
Anyway thanks to silencedfalcon for the original prompt and gaycalculator for the lyrics distribution!
silencedfalcon, sadboyhijiri, and I have been talking about MemB dancer AU where B is a hip hop dancer and Memory is a ballerina danseur. One day we’ll write the fic, but until then here’s them mutually t posing posing a.l.a Mia and Sebastian from La La Land
From my Mem/B fanfiction, “Evening, Primrose”. Someone on Discord said there should be some drawing of Memory in leather jacket. And who I am but to comply :’)
Under the cut is the summary
Title: Evening, Primrose
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Fandom: Hataraku Saibou
Pairing: Memory B Cell/B Cell
Summary: Three months ago, across their joint, a new tattoo parlor opened up. That parlor changes their life forever, either for the better or for worse. Because one day they (accidentally) peek inside the parlor, and lo and behold there is a hot guy that works there. Like, insanely hot. He's not too skinny, not too build. But that body in a tank top plus his slicked black hair plus sweat running down his red ripe cheeks? Enough to make B comes out to his cousin.
(Not that Mast is surprised).
Everytime the guy is in B's peripheral, B would just combust out of embarassement. His cousin tells him to just ask the guy out but what is he going to do? Walk in there and ask him, "Would you like to get a cup a coffee with me?" out of nowhere?!
"Actually, yes."
"Shut up, Mast. You don't know what you're talking about."
"Whatever." His cousin rolls her eyes and goes back to her book.
[or: an AU where B is a pining florist and Memory is his target of affection who happens to be a tattoo artist]
The second chapter of my fic, sfumato, is up! sfumato told a story of a young king called Iishiro (U1146) and a young painter called Ai (AE3803). They met because Iishiro commissioned Ai a potrait of himself. They got to spend time together and feelings began to blossom from there.
It’s currently on chapter two out of four. Do check it out if you have time!
Quick edit for my fic, sfumato. I should be writing the fanfiction but instead I got myself distracted ...
Edit: Got some world building under the cut.
Quote from an art historian:
“Untitled” was another one of her self-potrait during her stay at White Palace. It depicted the same scene as “A Woman Waiting In Darkness (A Self Potrait)”, although she wore a different set of clothes. It was deduced that this painting was painted long after the first one as a recalling. But some argue that this could be the unfinished version of the other one because Akagawa usually gave titles to her works.
What’s interesting in Lady Akagawa’s painting was that she used flowers to convey a secret message. It was interesting because floriography was not popular at least until another century. The evidence of her usage of floriography was in her those two self potraits where she painted herself with camellia in her hair. It was deduced that the camellia was given to her by King Iishiro, as a symbol that the king hold a romantic feeling for her.
