emotionally strained chinese bird coparenting yaoi

LORE -

SOON! it's very long so i might just make a separate post sob. but u can find some hints in their og forms

DESIGN NOTES -

as you may have noticed, there are some alternate versions of tongmeng in the background of his...key art...?? the first iteration of him was actually a deaf jp-inspired character :'||

the main insp this cdrama actor whose hair had been living in my brain all this time. i had Nothing for the og snowy owl and ended up losing steam </3

i repurposed a lot of this og concept in roya, in particular "scarred fighter who communicates through sign language" and "slight age gap yaoi with complicated feelings." roya's left cheek scar comes from "takashi," while i gave the nose and chin (and tat) scars to tongmeng. the concept of "guy with intrusive thoughts about being a monster" was further developed and dropped on lobo, whom i STILL haven't talked about but i swear like i swearrrr. tongmeng still has this tho lol

tongmeng's character has been slightly simplified (he's no longer deaf) but now hanfeng has richer lore so it's balanced out :') also these two started out as men, then became women, then became men again. gender hates to see them coming
