Fandom old. Artist and writer. Yi City main. Always low on spoons, zero tolerance for fandom drama, but otherwise very friendly! 💚
I post a lot about #songxuexiao and my beast of a fix-it fic #heavenhasaroad

Since I've discussed finally getting to try real tanghulu in China with several different fic authors now, I'll just post a PSA here! 😂

1. It's sticky, and often coated with thin, edible rice "paper"
2. They're white inside!
3. The taste is somewhere between tart baked apple and rosehips

Update from the manufacturer: the misprinted covers are being replaced and we've finally got a proper look at the finished version of Book 3! 🎉

This is... not a happy file 😅

In more productive news, I'm aaalmost done resizing the illustrations for book 2, only 2 more to go.
It's songxiao month now or something, isn't it? So I suppose sharing this is fitting 💚

Some of the adjusted illustrations even look good! 😂
But thank you. 💚
So far I'm more less on schedule - I have 21 out of 66 illustrations left to fix, 2/3rds of the text to edit and three covers to draw, and a bit more than a month to do it.
Piece o cake...! 🥲👍

One of the hardest things about adjusting the Heaven illustrations to print size if to be able to match the new parts seamlessly to the style and feel of the original art. It can take a lot of patience and precision!

Nakimochiku wrote a fic for the second (and most out of left field) of my MDSZ RBB prompts! Jiang Cheng and Xue Yang... cyberpunk... detective noir? 😅👍

Clarifying that when I say "resize", I don't mean cropping the illustrations, but actually adding in about 1/3rd's worth of extra art to each one to make them work in a standing book format. 🥲
That's why it's taking a while. 😅

I just found another behind the scenes Yi City video to screengrab, and their expressions made me think of the eggplant conversation/s in chapter 63 of Heaven Has A Road. 🥰

I drew that inspired by a tumblr post about a guy and his wife who had a game where they'd hide bags of oreos from each other around the house. 😂

The rebel here is Osprey, another character from the same story, and he and the pretty (antagonist) princess have an enemies-to-lovers arc going on. 😁

I found the oreos sketch! 😂

Her moths have a toxic wing pollen that sends people into frenzied delirium - she uses them for torture/interrogation. Hence why she's brandishing one so threateningly in this sketch. 🥰
