wips and extras below the cut!

Zuko is going to have to explain to his uncle why they now have an extra mouth to feed.

This piece was sooo much fun. I forgot how much fun it is to paint chinese architecture and uneven paths.

Here’s also my reference pieces (because I thought they looked cool). I made my composition by combining 4 different photographs into 1 giant piece. However, these definitely weren’t the only reference I used! I used no less than 3 references for Zuko and the dog each lmao

After weeks of carefully looking for a “good” novel among the hundreds in my to-read, I finally encountered one while looking for something light/brainless. What's even more ironic is that it’s by the author Neleta, whose other works I've read tend to start out strong and compelling before turning extremely ridiculous towards the end. (But still I keep their works in my bookmarks because they’d always contain well-written smut in the middle)

The novel’s title is 宝贝 (BaoBei), which can mean treasure/darling/baby. The protagonist's name is XiaoBao, and he has a pet monkey named XiaoBei. (XiaoBao is a precious baby 💖)

The plot is that XiaoBao was born with defects, making his father, a renowned martial arts expert, hate him. Later, his mother also left for some reason, but rumors say she eloped with someone. And after she left, XiaoBao seems to have incurred some kind of curse/disease that subjects him to extreme pain every first and fifteenth of the month. Black spots also started breaking out on his face, making him look ugly. All these combined makes the father hate XiaBao even more.

So XiaoBao grew up avoiding his father and being raised by servants. He doesn’t even live in the main house but in a small broken house/shed outside. The house also seems to be haunted because every half month he’d hear a “ghost” screaming from under his bed. Not wanting to further worry the servants who take care of him, he doesn’t tell anyone about this.

Then one day, his father tells him to leave and fend for himself.

But on the night before leaving, XiaoBao hears the ghost's cries from under his bed again. Seeing that the talismans he bought didn't work, he wants to try talking to the ghost. But while groping under his bed to reach the ghost, he instead discovers a secret passage... that leads to a torture chamber.

And now I am invested.

I have so much hope for this novel that I pray Neleta won't fuck it up again in the later parts 😭😭😭

Wahaha XXC! So cute of you to think baby-making is easy that. But then again, maybe NMJ would have preferred a "cultivation egg baby" than what he's going through right now (and thereafter) if he wants significant progress in his little "Repopulate and Diversify the Nie" project. So, who's the lucky second father? Did nieyao both finally get it on? Will LXC, LWJ and JC be generous enough to contribute some of their clan genes??? Just to see which have the some sort of deviation-resistance gene.

Realistically, NMJ is way too picky to invite everyone to have a turn - and it would make the whole 'getting married to someone you're not related to' thing down the line a little more difficult, not to mention the awkwardness of figuring out the question of Who Is The Sect Heir for LXC and JC. So by virtue of not actually being the proper heir, JGY would very likely in fact get second father dibs and then be extremely happy about it. Qi deviation or no qi deviation!

...that being said I now have a vague craving for a hard sci-fi AU where the Nie sect is very firmly on a Repopulate and Diversity kick and have decided to ask everyone around for donations, only for everyone to be practically falling over themselves to rush over to see if they can help out. Hmm, I wonder if I could fit that into the Star Wars AU...there is that one endangered species council member that could be used as a model...

Lin Tao has only ever been half-decent at sharing his life with others, but for Baobei, he thinks he could make an exception.
