what are ur fav chinese historical dramas you can recommend? I used to watch some growing up, and I recently binged qing ping yue. thank u and I love the angst in ur stories..

i’m so sorry you had to watch that painfully frustrating drama

the story of minglan (honestly one of my fave romances ever)

legend of zhen huan (iconic classic harem drama)

ruyi’s royal love in the palace (painful painful painful angst but at least there’s some catharsis in the last two episodes??)

step by startling step (another absolutely iconic qing period drama)

legend of miyue (sort of like zhen huan, but on steroids bc we’re following this bitch from birth till death)

secret of the three kingdoms (started for the eye candy, stayed for the court politics)

nirvana in fire and its sequel (*chef’s kiss* perfect)

not ‘historical’, but these dramas take a lot of historical inspo

tribes and empires (just skip the bits with pan xi she was honestly my least favourite character in the entire show)

goodbye my princess director’s cut (pls make sure it’s the director’s cut bc the original version has been butchered by shit editing)

i haven’t watched these yet, but they’re on my watchlist

the promise of chang’an

the song of glory

the sleuth of ming dynasty

under the power

the advisor’s alliance

the longest day in chang’an

Eternal Love of Dream: episodes 44 & 45

Today I give you this, tomorrow, probably more of this…

Let us head in.

Spoilers.

episode forty-four

Yes, let dilraba’s song play in the background. Iconic for moments like this.

Shush. He came to serenade you, make you fall in love, give you everything you have ever wanted. We are here for it. Donghua is a man in love, a romantic one at that, just give him some peace for wanting to make you his empress.

That god is Donghua. Say thank you Donghua.

Babies in love. You are going to see me say ‘in love’ a lot, I can feel it in my bones. Aranya’s dream really is just for Donghua to chase after Fengjiu because he is a man in love. And I am so proud of that.

Oooo, she is here. Interesting.

*i cry*

Cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

If you didn’t want Donghua to leave just then, I give you crazy, drunk and depressed Shen Ye.

Some wonderful flowers. What he was saying did have lots of truth.

Noooooooooo.

episode forty-five

What is so bad about this arrangement? lmaoo. I volunteer as tribute. Except instead of Donghua, could I perhaps have Bai Zhen?

Bai Gungun.

What is this? Lmaooo. Fengjiu ain’t having it today.

I was wondering how long Su Moye was going to be overworked for.

Bow down to the real queen of the show.

The real Xi Ze is very caring as you can see.

After seeing that family, we all know that’s a lie. *surprisingly it is not the family’s fault in the end either, well… it is kind of*

Okay. She was literally just trying to breathe & survive.

But you are really missing on some great scenes.

See you next time! Questions? Just ask :]

So yesterday I went to play at the old habitat* and tried out DW5 Empires again. (* personal code word to refer to Res' family house)

Now behold the DW5 version of my Chinese OCs! ...Not all of them, though, and since I haven't unlocked all the outfits, some (or all) of them don't look as originally intended. Good thing I didn't save them, though.

Li Zhen here looks really cute despite her hair not looking the same, but hey, at least she's still got her signature twin buns. The "Innocent" voice type actually sounds either very cutesy-shy or childish, but it fits her more than the more fiery "Spirited" type, so I just went along with that. Another mistake I made here is that the flowers on her head were supposed to be red.

Lin Shen, my Mo Dao Zu Shi OC. I got really confused about her weapon since in the story she's in, she mainly uses magic and wields a book (spell tome?) that she writes on and recites her magic from. So I just went with Zhang Liao's pole blade, and maybe she'll get this weapon too in her own story. Her voice type is "Relaxed", it sounds pretty deep although its icon has Zhenji's silhouette (who has a sultry voice instead of deep).

Speaking of Lin Shen, I also made her in DW5XL for Xtreme Mode (because who would be her mentor in Destiny Mode?). I made sure she never recruited anyone as ally due to her canon nature as a lone wolf. That had a bad effect of her being easily offed because there's nobody to protect her. Seems I need to show some mercy to her...

Next, Yi Bao. I don't remember if there's any armour-ish outfit for female edits; she looks a bit weird in this one, as opposed to her full-armoured appearance in SoulCalibur. Here she looks more like a wanderer than soldier. I also had problems with whose sword moveset she should use, and decided on Sun Quan's although it looks very unfitting to her; she should've had Zhou Yu's moveset instead, it has a better stance. Like Lin Shen, her voice type is "Relaxed".

Zhang Xia (aka Yi Bao's maid). It's not the correct outfit and hairstyle for her, but at least she has the correct weapon : Diaochan's dual mace. I'll remake her when I unlock the other outfit because honestly, she doesn't look good in this one. I went with "Spirited" for her voice type since despite her scaredy-cat nature, her original voice indicates a lot of enthusiasm.

Last one is Yi Jiu, my Ravages of Time OC. Like I said before, I haven't unlocked the other outfits yet, so here she looks extremely different from what I intend her to be. I have no qualms about her hairstyle, but her face looks not as feminine; it looks pretty sinister while she actually sports a rather innocent, but whimsical look on her face. I went with Jiang Wei's trident spear for her weapon because so far, I don't have any spear-wielding girl, right? (Aoyama Shun doesn't count) And like Zhang Xia, her voice type is "Spirited"; it's just pitch perfect as she is a cheerful person.

I want to make the other OCs, but their weapons aren't listed here. Even Li Ren has to use a sword instead because Zhou Yu isn't using a staff before DW6. So here's a list of my other DW characters and their possible weapon movesets (or weapon changes for most) :

Zhen Pan - spear (Zhao Yun/Jiang Wei); alternatively, pike (Lü Meng) or pole blade (Guan Yu/Zhang Liao). Ma Chao and Lü Bu's movesets are too fiery for his quiet nature.

Zhen Yin/Manyue - feather fan (Zhuge Liang/Sima Yi), originally fan sword. Both are very fitting for her, considering she is the tactician of her own family. Her pranks could also count as strategy practice from another perspective... what a jerk-ass truth.

Mai Xi - scythe (Yueying), originally sickle. Simply because there's no sickle moveset and she is Li Zhen's actual successor as the plant hunter.

Mai Yong - fork and shield (Xingcai), originally dual shields. There is nobody in DW history who wields a pair of large shields, so Xingcai's weapon here is the closest Mai Yong can have.

Mai Xun - sword (Gan Ning), originally a single hooksword. The only hooksword moveset is Yue Jin's in DW8, and it's dual wield. Gan Ning's sword is the closest for Mai Xun's speedy moveset.

That's all for now. My other Chinese OCs have impossible weapons (Zhao Xiang tops this as her weapon is her smile of all possible things), so I can't include them here (yet).

#the main body talks #dw5 empires #dwoc • li zhen #mdzs oc • lin shen #dwoc • yi bao #dwoc • zhang xia #ravages oc • yi jiu #any other oc weapons are too unique and there's no close replacements in this game #like how can i replace yumei's detachable crescent wand?
