Do you all know 杨可爱Yang Ke’ai yet?
She does lots of popular covers and mash-ups and “how to memorize 5-50 Chinese poems via music” songs in a Classical Chinese style (chinoiserie?) with a UKULELE. If you’re not watching her beautiful videos of her singing and playing music in full hanfu, you’d think she was playing a Pipa or a Guzheng or even a Guqin, but, no — that’s a Ukulele.
Anyway, have you all heard her Mo Dao Zu Shi mashup yet? 14 songs from Audio Drama, Donghua, and Fan Music (a lot of the creators of which were also part of the Audio Drama and Donghua).
It’s awesome and deserves many many views. Enjoy!

CLADISTICS ruined my life
So, again, the translators Rynn and Jun have amazed me with their prowess. I have all of three notes for this entire volume, and two are just extra cultural background for kids who didn’t grow up in Chinese culture.
So, yah - Chu Wanning put this hand in the window frame, then he heard a crack sound, and then he realized that he had broken the window frame. Oops.
If you grow up around Chinese people, you might hear them talking about some foods being too cold or others being too hot, but they’re not talking about temperature, they’re talking about the effect of the food on the body.
And once you’ve lost your internal health-balance and are experiencing the negative effects of being too “hot,” you explain away your weird symptoms of not sleeping well, sore throat, acne, etc as being the result of eating too many chili peppers or chocolate muffins the day before.
It’s strange, but it all makes sense. Just eat your chocolate muffins in moderation.
If you watch enough period dramas, you see a lot of saluting, often but not always accompanied by a bend at the waist.
And in case you didn’t remember: -xiong means “brother.” Polite way to address a man of roughly even status.
Nothing to add. Perfectly put. ♥️ Our poor murder twinks ♥️
Common misconception, but the murder twink obsessed with revenge is actually Nie Huaisang. Jin Guangyao is a murder twink obsessed with self preservation first, Lan Xichen second, and the betterment of society through public works of infrastructure third.

I recently started keeping a list of all the ways I hear/read Chinese people say "death / dying". This has got to be the most artistic rendition of that question that I have seen to date :)
I have some Nordic heritage and this hit me right between the smile and the tears.
I drew a little something for the Hiveworks micro comic summer~
MDZS Weibo update, 1.22.2022 “Does the following collection of warm smiles from Hanguang Jun also touch you? There is still 1 day before Hanguangjun's birthday.”
Me: Yes, Yes it does! Hanguang Jun handsome Hanguang Jun.. may his days always be filled with warm smiles and happy moments with Wei Ying
This comic series is so much fun!
This really gives me hope that even though some people (🙁) can’t draw, they (we) can still make great content and brighten people’s days.
Go WangXian comics!
Wake up! Your legacy is in shambles!

Some important (I feel) tonal tuning and a little more anti-slang.
