Started the colour wheel challenge on Twitter last month but only with pretty boys, lost all motivation halfway through and had too many other things on my plate to continue, yet somehow managed to complete it anyway, and with that I have fulfilled my fanart quota for the year. Unless I somehow manage to find time for a “ladies whom I want to step on me” version, but it’s more than just a little unlikely.

“The clashing of swords to determine who is fastest or strongest is comical in its pretension. A drop of poison on the tip of a needle is the art of death's purest expression.”

Happy belated birthday Mu Tian Ming! She's holding a Taiwan whistling thrush, an endemic bird from Taiwan.
I rushed this one quite a bit, so it's really messy and I wasn't sure about the vibes I wanted for this. I think I was originally going to keep it black and white and then ended up slapping some color on. Not sure how I like that, maybe I'll redo this later.
That aside, I'm really, really excited for the next Thunderbolt Fantasy sequel!! I'm starting to feel the fire in me again for this series, it's so unique and a beautiful celebration of modernity and traditional culture with a wonderful cast of characters.\
Oh and I was thinking I could do a TBF series with endemic taiwanese birds! The Taiwan whistling thrush is so fitting, with it's dappled breast mimicking Tian Ming's fabric pattern and it's red eyes. Plus with "whistling" in its name, I thought this bird was perfect for her! Haha we'll see we'll see. I'm not sure if I can juggle so many projects at once;;

what's the pili(?) stuff you keep reblogging?
as far as i see, it's a stop motion doll story, set in china(?)
and it kinda looks like the modao zushi my sister reads
霹雳 or Pili is a Taiwanese glove puppet drama that’s been airing since the 1980s and currently there are over a thousand episodes. The plot varies across its many seasons but it’s basically about martial arts, sword fighting and lots of drama between the many many characters of the show. (It's not stop-motion btw, it's filmed live with the puppets)
youtube
There’s always some bad guys or groups stirring up trouble. But bad or good the characters always look damn good I mean...
Tumblr media
Beautiful :')
Anyway its been a special interest of mine since I was about 16 Cartoon Network aired a horribly edited dubbed version of it before quickly pulling the plug on it (Wulin Warriors… only look it up if you want to cringe)
As much as I love the series it's rather hard for people to get into if you don't know Chinese. BUT if you are interested you have some options!
Thunderbolt Fantasy:
youtube
It's not Pili but a new series, a collab between Pili, Nitroplus, and Good Smile. If you like anime you'll love this! There are 3 seasons, 2 movies, and season 4 is in production I believe. You can find it on crunchyroll or any site that uploads anime.
Pili Fantasy: War of Dragons:
youtube
A remake of an early Pili series made to appeal to a global audience. It was on netflix, which was a dream come true for me.
Tumblr media
Literally.
But since all my dreams are meant to die, netflix removed after a couple years. There's no legal way to watch the subbed version, but there are other ways if you know what I mean 🏴‍☠️
There's another 2 seasons of Pili Fantasy but they are sadly not subbed.
Lastly Studio886 on youtube is currently posting subbed episodes of older Pili series. I will post them in chronological order
Pili Totem:
youtube
Pili Anomalous: The Dragon Domination:
youtube
Pili Sealed Spirits Island:
youtube
Pili Military Conflagration:
youtube
Even though these are older series they're still very good! I'm working my way through The Dragon Domination currently.
I know this is probably way more than you wanted to know but if even one person watches Pili because of it I will be happy. Thank you for the question!

Thinking today about how Homura is often depicted with umbrellas/parasols... a shield-shaped object that protects its wielder from what they don't wish to experience.... essentially creating their own little world within.
Tumblr media
This is, of course, not even going into the whole "sharing an umbrella as a symbol of romantic love" trope that so prevalent in Japanese media. The fact that Homura, who desires nothing more than to shield Madoka, is always alone is telling. She even has an empty chair set up at her table in this scene, as if she's waiting for someone to join her!
Tumblr media
In general, umbrellas protect against rain, while parasols keep the sun off--thus allowing the person beneath to remain hidden in the shadows. It's hard not to look at this admittedly gorgeous shot and not feel a frisson of unease. I also like how the parasol focuses our attention on Homura as if it were a spotlight.
This use of umbrellas/parasols as a recurring motif in Madoka Magica is especially striking after watching the first season of Thunderbolt Fantasy (Gen Urobuchi's ongoing wuxia fantasy puppet epic), where the protagonist's acceptance of an umbrella is what kicks off the whole plot!
Tumblr media
By the end, however, Shang Bu Huan has come full circle, and is explicitly defined by his refusal of an umbrella:
Even a storm that could ruin an umbrella is not enough to halt a man's journey. Should I come across murky waters on my travels, I shall continue forward unburdened by that which may hold me back.
Granted, Shang is older and more experienced than Homura, enough to know that umbrellas are often more trouble than they're worth, but the contrast is striking. And given that Urobuchi has said on Twitter that the script for Walpurgis no Kaiten was written immediately before Thunderbolt Fantasy S1, it's entirely possible he had Homura in mind when he was writing this scene.
