Wei Wuxian being empathetic to the dead is just so much important to me, it's maddening. Because it is such rotten work but he does it with so much love. People romanticise empathy in theory so much, but Wei Wuxian shows us how difficult it is to actually practice the same in real life.
The fierce corpses or the Burial Mounds are the dumping grounds of MDZS world. It is basically the entirety of cultivation world's negativity, hatred, pain and trauma - dumped in one place. The dark shadows- which society keeps running away from, trying their hardest to ignore it's existence. But Wei Wuxian doesn't do that. He spends time with them, listens to them, embraces them, shows them kindness. His empathy isn't in theory, isn't like a cobweb which crumbles with a mere touch, his empathy is merged with active love- which is dirty, bloody, gritty, but which is able to create a home out of the Burial Mounds and leads to the formation of Demonic Cultivation.
He showed us how difficult yet vital it is to show kindness to the people you want to turn your eyes away from, because it is too painful and ugly to look at their suffering, their decay, their abuse, to see humanity in those who are shunned, feared or deemed unclean. His love was so deeply radical.

Painting Wei Wuxian
So, last week I started painting two of these beauties

I love this figure so much T_T
And I think the render image 2B made is so cool!
Tumblr media
Mo Dao Zu Shi is so important for me, and I was (still am tbh) obsessed with wangxian - to the point I low-key made 2B read the highlights of the novels lmaooo
2B liked the "dark power" vibes of yllz!WWX, while I love death aesthetics (like skeletons and such), hence this figure was born. It took waaaay longer than we originally thought to sculpt it, especially because I wanted the clothes to be as culturally accurate as possible. We literally studied the history of clothing in China to try and get the layers right, even if xianxia novels aren't that accurate themselves.
Still, I sincerely think this figure came out great and I'm so hyped about painting it!!! I hope to make Wei Ying justice 🙏
Up to now I mostly gave the first layer of primer (sorry for reusing the video below from ), sanding updates coming soon 👀

Btw I'm re-listening to the books while I paint, and some parts are so fucking funny
«Jin Ling had an imperious temperament and a certain tendency to pick fights with anyone he considered intolerable - which was, in fact, everyone»
This sentence sends me every time 😭😭😭

I'm gonna be real with you, i don't think weirdo kinksters should be considered acceptable collateral damage when banks/credit card companies enforce adult content bans on sites like patreon and ko-fi

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
