These are the gifs I made based on mintyfish’s (@_gayexmachina on twitter) AMAZING story Within Us an Orchard on AO3! It’s so well paced, and well written and she’s posting her chapters throughout the day everyone! Please check it out and support it! I love it so much!
How much do I love it? When I signed up for the shlbb, the requirement said 4 manips or 8 gifs so i said my gifs were manips and showed the admins my style. The admins for the bb were ok with that designation. But! Due to how beautifully mintyfish wrote her story, I couldn’t help but make 7 gifs!
Image description behind cut (also, this is my first time writing one, so please let me know if i should restructure the post or not put them under cut etc.)
[Image description: 7 gifs overlaying flowers or garden scenery (rocks) with scenes from Shan He Ling/Word of Honor. Gif 1: Pink peach blossoms with zhou zishu in tian chuang assassin outfit pulling down his mask on the left and qin jiuxiao drinking on the right. Gif 2: Red plum blossoms with zhou zishu looking sad and talking on the left and han ying looking desperate at zishu. Gif 3: bright orange phoenix flowers with two gifs of zhou zishu’s face grimacing from ep 1 as he puts a nail into himself on the left and right flanking zhou zishu’s open palm with a qi-qiao-san-qiu nail in the middle. the hand in the middle is ghostly transparent. Gif 4: Purple azaleas with Bi-shu on the left and Zhou Zishu in tianchuang robes on the right. Zhou zishu’s face is framed by the flowers that overlap his hair and robes. Bi-shu is on top of the flower layer. Gif 5: A stack of small rocks in a garden with water trickling down in the middle. Wen kexing leans into zhou zishu on the left, flirting while fanning himself. On the right, zhou zishu’s face is amused as he turns around (from ep 1 flashback with jiuxiao carving the hair stick) on the right. Gif 6: pink peony blooming in middle overlapping in venn-diagram fashion with wen kexing’s hand reaching out and grabbing zhou zishu’s on the left and wenzhou drinking together in siji shanzhuang on the right. Gif 7: two vibrant magenta peonies blooming on the left and right towards the bottom of the gif. they overlapped wenzhou looking at the four sages on a boat. wenzhou cultivating in ep 36 can be seen overlapping the silhouettes. both versions of wenzhou are slowly zooming out. ]
