Back in... I want to say May? for Reasons I ended up watching all of Nirvana in Fire twice in two weeks. I regret nothing, all my choices were excellent, but then I was left with a lot of feelings about how I wanted to see Jingyan with his hair down. I am sometimes a simple soul. Also, it had been long enough since the last time I drew a full background that I forgot that they're terrible.

This is also the piece that caused me to realize I need to do a more detailed re-swatching of all my paint, because I did _not_ have a proper grasp on which colors lifted too easily, and would, hypothetically, force me to try to recolor a very detailed design in colored pencil, which is not the best tool for it.

I had one too many teas today a few hours too late in the day… so instead of sleeping I made these Nirvana in Fire gifs from a scene in Ep 1

Look at their ARCHIVE!! Isn’t it pretty!? Doesn’t it make you want to watch the show? It made @merelhyn want to watch the show!

rewatching NiF for the umpteenth time and I just really love Consort Jing okay

Like. My god.

Episode 37 really drives it home just how terrifyingly devious Consort Jing is.

her plan: 1. Make a special incense that will make the emperor have lots of dreams.

2. Wait for the emperor to inevitably have nightmares about Consort Chen's death, because she knows he's still plagued by guilt and sadness.

3. Wait for the emperor to inevitably bring up Consort Chen with her, as she's the only person who would talk to him about that, and express tender sorrows.

4. Gain even more of the emperor's trust, such that he asks her to make a private altar to pay respects to Consort Chen. This also makes the emperor feel obliged to her, but not in a way that injures his pride. The two of them sharing this secret also brings them closer together emotionally.

5. Do as the emperor says and intentionally let the spy amongst her servants discover her actions.

6. Wait, knowing that whoever is plotting against her will save that big reveal for the "best" possible moment, i.e. when Jingyan is in big trouble, to make them both look extra bad.

7. Accept the blame for her "crime" calmly and without protest, instead of defending herself by revealing that the emperor asked her to do it. The emperor now feels extra obliged and grateful to her, as it would've mortified his pride if she had told the truth, and also very irritated at the empress for putting him in that supremely awkward situation.

8. Quell the emperor's anger at Jingyan through having him feel bad about having her take the blame, and also make him suspicious of the empress' intentions.

The most genius part of her plan is that she doesn't need to choose the time and place, the empress will time everything "perfectly" for her. She doesn't lift a finger and the empress has happily shot herself in the foot.

Just the foot for now.
