The Chinese meaning for wisteria is for success and prosperity in your professional and social pursuits, but what compelled me at 3am to start drawing was the Japanese; The tale of the Wisteria Maiden.
“ Long ago, Otsu, near Lake Biwa, just outside of old Kyoto, was a very popular artists’ market. It was a city of beautiful paintings, and people crowded to sell or see new works. In one instance, a young man caught sight of a life-like painting of the gorgeous wisteria maiden. As he looked into the painting, the Wisteria Maiden looked back at him and became infatuated. Who was this person who so boldly took interest in her?
In her sudden joy, she walked out of the painting and tried to meet him. She wrote him letter after letter, each one heartfelt… but every single one went unanswered. Still, she persists, and slowly becomes more and more heartbroken as she is ignored. As the story progresses, she becomes saddened, enraged, and then, finally, her spirit is broken. She then returns to the painting. In some versions of the story, she is not a person, but a spirit of wisteria, and she becomes a a wisteria plant herself instead of going back to her painting. “
Finished these a few months ago and now I’m finally posting these soon-to-be-stickers! Interest form for (not for profit/less than cost) stickers: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OxU4SGnWjYppkXLISK9SqMjRQ8IrzxqIqUKnfu9PFJs/
Probably a VERY unpopular opinion but it’s just my interpretation/opinion so it doesn’t really mean anything and I’m probably just weird aaaa why am I getting so anxious about posting a random opinion??? Anyway, unpopular opinion: I think the 天官赐福 fandom (and fandoms in general tbh) focus too much on the love story, and miss all the other interesting aspects of the story. I mean I definitely do think that 花城 and 谢怜 are Adorable As Fuck!!!! But personally, I enjoyed the other sub-plots in the series a LOT too. So I get kinda frustrated when, for example, my friend reads 天官赐福 but skims over it just to read the romantic parts, and then can’t discuss anything else about the series. So I get kind of lonely because no one wants to talk about anything except the romance.
Anyway this sketch takes place when the civil war in 天官赐福 was going on, and 花花 was still just a soldier. After he died and became demon king, I often wonder if he ever decided to get revenge on everyone who mistreated him in his life? It seems like he would, but it also seems like he wouldn’t think it’s worth the trouble.
Edit: AM I GOING CRAZY OR DOES HE KINDA LOOK LIKE WEI WUXIAN?? IT IS UNINTENTIONAL AAAAAA
It's been 5 years. I've kept your favorite fan by my bedside so I can give it back to you. Days pass, the sun sets. Night comes and the moon rises. A thousand times is this repeated yet your fan never moves. You promised you'd come back for it and yet the dust is starting to collect.
Will you come by for tea soon? I've poured your favorite. The one you gave me. The taste is somewhat pleasing but also so bitter. A cup for you. A cup for me. Still your cup remains full and the tea leaves sink to the bottom.
A thousand battle scars mark this body.
A thousand battle scars fade and heal in time.
All but the one you’ve left on my heart.
If I let you beat up my disciples a bit, will you come back? If I leave yours alone, will you come back?
A thousand days. A thousand scars. A thousand pains.
I really don’t know if I should be active here anymore. Tumblr has been long dead for me but since people enjoyed my SV comic, here’s a MDZS dump. First is Han Guang-jun with a high ponytail *sweats*, then WWX as the wedding bride “Lan Er-gege, come here”, followed by modern fashion Lan disciples and last was for grape man’s birthday!
Just in case I never post here again but you followed me for MXTX content, I’d advise checking out my Twitter. It’s 99.9% MXTX content with lots of dumb memes heh
