[yeetedcherry]

i was gonna make a fully coloured and shaded art piece for Christmas yesterday but i gave up on that less than half way though that so instead take some art of my gay blob oc’s Tom and Ash

they married and in a very happy relationship

[waterblobbu]

your ocs have such an interesting concept thats sick as hell... have you come up with why and how Kailin was isekaied yet? And are the animals they're accompanied by like their partners or alternate forms or something?

also, how did you conduct research on this (speaking as another chinese person whos attempted to research cultural background stuff and not come up with much genuine info)? Was this all already in your head?

By the way, I really like the designs. Don't be anxious about them I think they're really pretty

aughh thank you!!!

more rambling under the cut

i have, actually, thought of how kailin got isekai'd (it was qingyuan who dragged him up to the heavens via some kinda zodiacal portal im still figuring the mechanics of). they land in the eastern division of the sky (so, where the azure dragon resides) and the plot goes from there :)

qingyuan's dragon is actually her sword! it was kinda inspired by the dragon staff from xi you ji, i just thought it was dope as hell. its called Chun Xing (春星), but because in dragon form its grumpy as fuck, its nicknamed Xingxing (悻悻)

meanwhile the qilin accompanying kailin in the image is called Xun (迅) (very creative, i know). he's a sorta guardian for him, because of Plot and Backstory reasons. that and demons are dangerous and kailin barely has combat experience so he's gotta have some backup there.

(disclaimer, my mandarin skills are pretty subpar because i rarely spoke it and lost my skills over the years, if theres any native speakers who find any mistakes in here with the names and such please let me know ;;)

as for research, i did some epic wikipedia quests and bought some chinese mythology books :]

xiran jay zhao's channel also helped a ton!! especially regarding certain aspects of chinese culture that i never thought much about before.

also ngl, the five phases part was kinda hard to understand at first, but after i started connecting its philosophy with stuff my family practiced, it made a lot more sense to me, though im still learning as i go along.

the rest was sorta gleaned from my family's culture and practices, and i started paying a lot more attention to the festivals and such, though again we're diaspora so its been kinda mixed in with our country's culture.

and about the designs, thank you!! ;; it means a lot

OH OKAY. UM!!!

im going to put these under the cut because they're very long!!

SO

THOSE FIVE OCS HUH

they are called:

Ruan Kailin (阮凯琳): He's the guy in green in the image. The main character of the story, he was from the mortal realm and basically isekai'd into another realm.

Qingyuan (清源): She's the blue one with the dragon. She's fierce but reliable, and acts as a mentor character and sister figure to Kailin.

Huamin (花敏): The red one with the tailfeathers. She's the youngest of the group and the most mischievous, but she's also a genius and enjoys crafting gadgets for use. She's also a tricky shapeshifter.

Fenjing (奋精): He's the guy in greys. A solemn and calm figure with impressive martial arts prowess. He also has a mischievous side to him, and gets along well with Huamin.

Xiuying (秀英): She's the one in black. She's stoic and emotionless, only ever executing orders like a machine. She's the tanker of the group and the most powerful.

now. the other stuff.

im gonna put them in bullet points

THE SETTING

The story is mostly set in the Celestial Sphere. In the original culture, the gods and constellations essentially share one realm, but for this story they are separated and each division of the sky is ruled by each of the Four Beasts (the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise)

The Yellow Dragon used to rule the Central division of the sky, or the area currently known as the Purple Forbidden Palace

Other celestial objects are used in this story and represented by either celestials, immortals, or demons

Demons are split into four categories here. Most are represented by the aforementioned celestial objects; the most powerful class of demon is Black Hole

THE PLOT

Based off the creation of black holes in the universe, the sole ruler of the celestial sphere used to be a massive star.

The Four Beasts were constellations circling around it. This massive star was essentially their mentor

The star also adopted a recently born star and named him Chiyou. He was set to be next in line to the throne.

Since most of the mythology here is sustained by human belief, eventually the Yellow Emperor ascended and took center stage of the cosmos. In this story, he takes on the form of his animal version, the Yellow Dragon.

But since the aforementioned star was already the sole ruler of the celestial sphere, things got a little...dicey

In Chinese culture, there's this concept of the Mandate of Heaven; the Mandate is basically a concept that allows Emperors to claim their right to the throne ("It is the will of Heaven" etc etc). This concept applies to humans irl, but I've applied it to the constellations in this story for thematic value

So the Yellow Dragon and this one star start to fight over control of the celestial sphere, both claiming the Mandate for themselves

Eventually...all stars must explode and die. The old star, already deteriorating, turns to demons inhabiting the celestial sphere for help. This horrifies the Four Beasts, who stop being neutral and change their allegiance to the Yellow Dragon

The Yellow Dragon eventually kills the old star...which explodes and transforms into a Black Hole.

Obviously this is Bad for everyone. Black hole demons consume stars and are able to command the other demons. They dub the newly formed demon king Heiyan and set about trying to suppress him

Eventually, total war breaks out, but with the collective effort of the Five, they manage to imprison the demon king somewhere and seal it tight

So with that mess over, the Yellow Dragon breaks up the celestial sphere into 5 divisions and gives 4 of them to the Four Beasts as thanks.

Meanwhile, Chiyou is still….the star equivalent of 5 years old while all of this is happening, and has no idea what is going on other than his father went missing and that he now has control over the demon court

The Four Beasts are reluctant to kill him as he was basically like a nephew to them. The Yellow Dragon, on the other hand, sees a potential threat

While Chiyou was willing to work with the Five (and try and fail miserably to convince the demons to do the same), the Yellow Dragon gathered the other Four and fearmongered them into killing the prince off

The Black Tortoise was initially sent to do the job, but they didn't have the heart to do it, so the Yellow Dragon did so with his own claws

This betrayal shocks and enrages Chiyou…and this rage turns him into a Black Hole as well. But…a baby one

The Five are panicked because of this so the Yellow Dragon kidnaps the guy and locks him up as well to see if he can revert him back

In the meantime, as a backup plan in case either of the Black Holes break out, the Five create artificial vessels to incubate their powers

This is where the five main characters happen. All of them are artificial humanoids crafted from various materials. In the og lore, the five are referred to as the Champions, but are individually referred to by the colors of their creators (Yellow Champion, Azure Champion, etc)

Fast forward to a few years later. The Yellow Champion and Azure Champion (Qingyuan) are playing together in the Yellow Dragon's palace while their creators are having a meeting

They stumble upon the room that is holding Chiyou captive (he is trapped inside a little brazier, like the kind that trapped Sun Wukong in Journey to the West)

Out of curiosity, the Yellow Champion opens the lid

Chiyou instantly kills and devours them. Qingyuan runs to get help, but it's too late. Chiyou immediately gains strength from the power that has been incubating inside the former Yellow Champion and he breaks out

This kicks off another war in the celestial sphere, as Chiyou heads back to enact his revenge on the Five

During the confrontation, the Central Kingdom is destroyed and the Yellow Dragon severely weakened. As a last resort, he creates a new vessel, stores almost all of his power inside it, and sends it to the human realm where Chiyou rarely ventures

With the collapse of the Central Kingdom, the demons take over it and turn it into the Purple Forbidden Palace division of the sky.

As of the main story, the Four are currently locked in a bitter struggle against the aforementioned division, and they have lost contact with one another in order to focus their efforts on fortifying their individual kingdoms.

Meanwhile Chiyou is searching for his father's hidden prison with the intent of releasing him...

...and that's all I can share so far (as in, the concrete stuff that isnt floating around in a vague soup in my head)

thanks for reading all of this and having an interest in my ocs!!!
