A portrait i draw for @ladyxenax a while back, many thanks go to @xantissa and her fanfiction for the image i've got in my mind, especially for "Tianzhen is the only person I know of who can be caught in the hallucination and wake up by himself."
Is it because it's in a "modern" setting? Someone did recommend it to me a while ago but I never got around to watching it. Now was the time to watch it to get my mind off everything (or else I would go insane from depression)
All in all it was a really comfortable watch. I loved Bai Yu's acting and I think it was the reason I continued watching through the first few episodes.
I really liked Shen Wei's and Yunlan's romance so much not only because they're "equals": Very smart and established individually in their respective careers, but maybe also because the actors were in their late 20's-early 30's and that made my mind go "domestic bliss" "husbands". They liked each other from the get go and it was so obvious I didn't even mind the yearning part (normally it would make me very anxious)
Big fan of reincarnation plot devices no matter how cliché. So that checks out too.
I was disappointed at the lack of fan work and videos on Youtube I honesty could not think of a single reason why it doesn't get the love dramas like The Untamed get.
The Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange is coming back for 2024!
520 sounds like "I love you" in Mandarin, so May 20th is a bit like Valentine's Day. To celebrate, we're back with the sixth annual 520 Day Reverse Exchange. As the name says, this is a reverse exchange: instead of making your request and that request being assigned to a writer/artist/fanwork creator, here:
You sign up with the kinds of things you enjoy creating.
You choose three writers/artists/fanwork creators based on anonymised ads.
You make a request of each of them based on what they enjoy creating.
You are assigned one request to create for, based on your offer.
You receive a gift from one of the creators you chose.
(An updated rules/info post will go up before sign-ups open, but here is last year's for reference.)
This year's schedule
Sign-ups part 1 - offers: Saturday 16 March - Friday 22 March
Sign-ups part 2 - requests: Saturday 23 March - Friday 29 March
Matching: Saturday 30 March - Tuesday 2 April
Assignments out: Wednesday 3 April at the latest
Deadline: Monday 13 May
Work reveals: Monday 20 May (there is no anon period)
This exchange is run on Dreamwidth and AO3, but you don't need a Dreamwidth account to participate. We'd love it if you filled out or anon-commented on the interest poll on Dreamwidth, but that's also not required. :-)
