Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 3: Enveloping Feelings.
(Part 1, Part 2, Part 4 (soon))

#I wanted to try out a different paneling style for this one - sorry I'm a day late! (there will still be a post tomorrow to keep on track)
#The original 3 panel comic idea was fine but the point of this new schedule was to take time to push myself a bit more.
#I was taking a look back through some comic artists I felt inspired by
#and I really loved how Lynda Barry fills her gutters with patterns and doodles!
#Obviously I'm not going as absolutely wild with it as she does but it was a great exercise!
#I truly think the gutters are the most important and most overlooked part of any comic. There's lots going on in that space.
#It's the same with timeskips. The implied movement between moments that we don't see changes depending on how wide that gap is
#You're here for the funny tags so here's some that ties this time talk together:
#I think LWJ was thinking about that second note from day 2 but it took him 7 days of hazing to commit it to paper.
#I think he sends it a day later and immediately regrets it. Chasing down the messenger and everything.
#You know if something actually happened to his brother he would never ever forgive himself for putting the bad vibes out there.
#Third time skip was the hardest because there was so many possible flavours of jokes here. Day 8/9 was a personal favourite.
#day 14 was also funny (week by week). I think the debate on 'how long does lwj take to catch feelings' is more or less:
#'how long does it take for him to arrive at a particular stage of grief and yearning (and awareness of it all)
#This is a symphony. There is an act by act structure. Every day he is fighting to keep his old sensibilities. He is losing so badly.
#(I'll be returning to the main comic soon but there is more of this AU to come!)

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 2: Indocktrination
(Part 1, Part 3)

#Quick note: These comics are going to be out of order timeline-wise. Less of a story; more of a splattering of ideas.
#Per last comic; I think WWX and JC showing up wet and covered in mud was 100% on purpose (on wwx's behalf)
#A hazing ritual for the rumoured stuck-up Lan boy who would be coming to train with them.
#With that in mind - I think LWJ has been pushed off the docks several times by this point. This is is first time dunking someone else.
#The completion of the Jiang indoctrination is being both the pusher and pushee. LWJ has gained true respect now.
#Yes think does mean I think Jiang Yanli has both been pushed and pushed someone into the water.
#I think WWX would have volunteered but she went in for a surprise attack on JC. This is a point of contention among the trio.

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival
(Part 2)
#poorly drawn mdzs

#jiang fengmian

#wei wuxian
#Yungmeng Jiang Training Arc AU
#MDZS AU
#The AU name for this idea is something I am 100% willing to change if someone has a better one.
#There will be at least 2-3 more comics so *please*. Ideas and feedback welcome.
#The core idea behind this AU is that LWJ goes to study with the Yunmeng Jiang sect instead of JC and WWX going to Cloud Recess
#But why? Well I imagine Lan Xichen set it up to give LWJ a challenge (more social than skill based) and LWJ rose to it (begrudgingly)
#Sort of a 'You've mastered so many Lan techniques but Other Sects have styles that are worth learning.' set up.
#Lan Qiren agrees mostly on the basis that...well it's LWJ. Yunmeng Jiang is unruly but LWJ is beyond that riff-raff. He'll rise above it.
#This is the story of a boy who thrives on routine and rules spending time in a place that is his apparent antithesis.
#Also it is so warm there. He is used to it being cold and what do you MEAN just take off some of my layers?
#I just want to see him struggle and flail in many situations. And get him in Jiang Purple. Is that so wrong of me?
#(Soaking wet JC is part of my 'JC was born to swim; forced to hold a sword' agenda. Do not remove him from the water)
#((Politeness notes: JFM would *not* call LWJ 'lan wangji' nor would LWJ be vocally impolite to a sect leader.))

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4: Deranged Bedfellows
(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.5)
#poorly drawn mdzs
#mdzs
#mdzs au
#lan wangji
#nie huaisang
#Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU
#This is the *first* part of what was supposed to be a much longer comic (LWJ's morning routine in full).
#I'll finish the remaining part as a reblog to this post! I just think this is the funnier chunk.
#Lan Wangji absolutely is the kind of person who has a perfect internal alarm clock for when it is time to get up.
#He already has a dedicated sleep schedule. He is accurate within 10 seconds of 5am every day.
#I think the Jiang disciples are most likely used to waking up around 6:00-7:00am
#But the allure of having a guaranteed time keeper getting you up in the morning is worth the earlier hour.
#I imagine they started outside lwj's door and slowly moved closer as the weeks went on.
#Now LWJ has to cope with being way too warm in the night from all the extra body heat.
#LWJ is not a fan of this but they scamper off immediately after he wakes up and they at least show initiative to follow routine.
#NHS joins in only because he is a chronically heavy sleeper and needs this level of intervention to get up early.
#His boldness would be a death sentence in the cloud recesses but here? Whole new game.
#Yungmeng Jiang isn't a lawless land. It's just a land with different laws.
#And one of those laws is to forcefully domesticate the catboy coded Lan boy through any means necessary.
#Completely different tangent: I drew the thumbnail for this before I did comic 134. I then realized they had the same visual gag.
#So I had to space this one out so it didn't seem like I repeated the waking up joke. That's my secret and all of you have to keep it.
#And in my land the law is that snitches get itches (telepathically transfers hives onto your body)

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 5: Flip Slip.

#Trying out some digital techniques to see if I can get closer to feel/style of my traditional comics.
#So far the biggest difference is *colouring* Digital colouring feels...not good. I have complained about this before and I'll complain agai
#Before we get into the sad stuff with Yungmeng Jiang in the PD-MDZS comics lets have some lighthearted fun!
#Remember that if anything bad happens to these Jiang disciples in the canon comic - they are happy in this AU B'*)
#I think one of the funniest things about the teenxian dynamic is how WWX accidently finds things that get LWJ to feel flustered.
#My guy wwx goes 'I'm going to lightly bully/tease this nerd 'cause his reactions are funny.' and LWJ goes “My god. He's everything to me.”
#Part two of the fun part of this dynamic is that LWJ is ever so lightly self aware enough to LOATHE THIS CRUSH.
#Hence why I have been marinating on this 'Accidental Lan headband miscommunication' concept.
#This is how LWJ assumes that WWX knows what the band means in this AU. This will be relevant later.
#And YES! I am still going to be making comics for this AU. I have so many ideas I simply can't hold onto forever.
