And speaking of CMS, there's stil time for securing end of the year 20% off slot on rendered and sketches art at my v.gen ! Ocs, fic based, fanart, you name it!
You can also see my portfolio examples of past CMS.

I'm already trying to think of who to cosplay for next year's convention. The only danmei I've read so far are MDZS and Fish...

And then I perished from loving art too much. I am actually writing this from my grave.
This moment appears only as a brief dream in the fic, but it's so compelling and amazing now thanks to this gorgeous work!! Hypnotic Meng Yao and longing Lan Xichen - so beautiful!! #xiyao #mdzs #theuntamed

@astrinde.bsky.social came to me talking about dreams, and desires, forbidden loves and freedom... Accepting a hand in yearning is one of the most cruel and sweetest temptations. Ty for trusting me with Need No Other Light fic fanart!

I spent the day robe-steaming, wig-detangling, and doing other tasks for a danmei meetup tomorrow that I'm not sure I'm brave enough to actually attend. Feeling pretty crap about myself rn. :/

I was walking my cat - who is normally fine with cars - when a Tesla approached. Her eyes got big, her ears went back, and she trotted back to the apartment, as far from THE EBIL TESLA as possible.
I'm very proud of her.

Some of my favourite signs from Seattle No Kings: "Not being paid, I hate Trump for free"; "Trump is a faux-king joke"; "Chinga tu MAGA"; "All of my outrage won't fit on one sign." Kudos also to the "LICE" in bug costumes, and the brass band who faded "Hail to the Chief" into "The Imperial March."

Delighted that our XiYao fic project is complete! Seven stories, 18,544 words total, all fics T-rated except for the fourth (M-rated). Each fic can stand alone or be read as part of the sequence. We even made the seven story titles form a poem. :) #xiyao #mdzs

What’s even better than XiYao art: gorgeous NSFW commissioned XiYao art, framed on my office wall. I adore @nokiazuzhilang.bsky.social’s creation *so much*!!
Commissione by @astrinde.bsky.social and now I am officially an artist with a framed nsfw artwork.
This makes me absurdly proud, specially due (gestures) yk.
(commissioners, if you want to print you artwork, contact me!)

This is a fandom event set for October 8 to 15, 2025, in which we celebrate Lan Xichen through his relationship with Jin Guangyao. Join us in creating and sharing Xiyao fanworks! We welcome any interpretation of their relationship, as long as they're the focus. :) #xiyao #mdzs #xiyaobirthday2025

Tattoo cover-up project complete, with two small neck tattoos engulfed by a much larger back piece over four sessions, totaling 20 hours.
I selected peonies and gentians (*waves to MDZS*), and the artist worked them into a gorgeous, Art Nouveau-inspired design. I adore the result.

All of these are great, but BIRD 3ZUN. :D Delighted, serene LXC cuddling contented, snuggly JGY and poofy, irritated NMJ - all avian - is the MDZS content I didn't know I needed.
Our MDZS bird AU — where Wei Wuxian, Lan Zhan, Jin Ling & Jiang Cheng are domestic birds — is somehow our most viral series on TikTok 🐣💥
I mean... I love them. But we have way more detailed illustrations!
Why are the Gusu Geese so powerful?? 😭
