Once a year I miss a specific fandom so much I think of trollsonas for a fandom I’m currently in. No one asked, no one needs, this au makes no sense, and it shouldn’t, I just want it. Back then homestuck was a big part of me, I honestly love it. Think of the first fandom that was your passion. Good night 🌙

When ZZS finally allowed you to sleep with him

I was watching a new drawfee episode, someone mentioned this meme, and that very moment I knew I needed to draw this.

Also, the “i’m even more mentally ill” version has to follow it.

Getting back to the routine is always hard for me, even if it’s something I like. This piece is the second approach to the bloody hands idea because with anime one I didn't express what I actually wanted. And this actually has the energy I wanted to put into it. I believe it was more than once when WKX was in some trance state after killing someone, unaware of the surroundings, only thinking of himself, the path he chose, his deeds and emotions, going deep into his thoughts, so his expression gets unreadable. So calm and unattached to what he just did, almost looks like he's smiling. Cold and unpredictable, unbothered.

Am not dead I swear!

Last week I was commissioned to participate in a project, and I didn't realize how big the amount of work that is and how fast the deadline is. I got both of my wrists bandaged on the fourth day and doing exercises is a must, but it's fun and I feel the improvement ✨ Two days ago I had a tiny winy existential crisis, panicking that I couldn't rotate 3d objects in my mind and that I only can replicate what I already saw lol. Anyway, the end is near, I even got a spare minute to sketch for myself, so I feel good. I was preparing one more short animation, can't wait to draw my bebe wkx again. And a fanart for a show everyone loves from last year that I started just before this commission, I want to see the rest of it so badly!! Any ideas what that show is? 👀 (yeah it's a bait haha)

Anyway, thanks to everyone for subscription, your trust and attention, I promise more art soon! Enjoy your weekend 🌸

I didn't want to put red robes on wkx all the time, but the extras are my indulgence for having one more “red and blue” ship.

I was also thinking of why do I keep adding make up to his design, it's like he doesn't look finished without red lipstick and eyeshadows to me. Or maybe I just want him to look like a disney princess 🫠🫠🫠

Nothing new, just a regular Sunday with tyk fandom. Have a nice day.

[ra-vale]

A little thing I’ve made for fun and can’t post it for two days straight because I keep adding more hair 🙄

So here we go, just so I can move to the next one. Anyway, I enjoyed the process, maybe I'll make more with time.

@yonayona It doesn't let me reply for some reason, so I'm writing here.

Thank you for sharing, they are pretty wenzhouish~

I listened to Soulmates Never Die after your tag and the other two now, and they are good! 👍 I like how the last one goes from “I will not follow” to “will you still follow?”, just how their relationship changes. Also just now I remembered You Are My Sunshine, by Frank Iero and the Patience, I like what they did to the song. For me it is a bit obsessive, but that’s how wkx’s words sound when he keeps calling zzs his husband at the beginning, when they're not quite uh together yet.

So yeah, thanks! ✨

Hiii! I think about your WKS playlist and.. may I please ask what songs do you associate with wenzhou? I'm going insane about ship-playlists and currently dying to know your your opinion!

Also, your art is amazing!

Gladly ✨

But be ready, it's extra sentimental and soft.

For me, Francesca is the wenzhou song number one, every line of it is too good. The others are for the romantic mood mostly. Separated, these two are sad and desolated, consumed by thoughts about the past, their losses, and concerns. And then they find understanding and support in each other, keep going, and keep living for each other. This feeling is very different from their lives before they met, and the playlist captures only this small part. They can be soft and sincere when they are alone. Maybe later I'll think of something more passionate because there's a lot of fire between them as well. I like thinking of wenzhou as puzzle pieces that click and how they become better together (I don't mean “heroes”, they hate this word lol). Gosh I really should make a badass playlist for them ehehe

Thank you for your attention and support 🥰🫶

A WKX playlist? Why would I make one

I just wanted tyk playlists to vibe with while I'm doing my little silly stuff, and I couldn't find one. So had to make some by myself, for WKX, ZZS, and wenzhou looove (too soppy, better keep for myself probably). The songs are chosen because of the lyrics or the mood, a bit crazy, a bit dark. To me, Wen Kexing could be such a Placebo fan, although his soul sounds to me like I Monster. I wanted to make it into one video on youtube, but it'll be deleted quite soon probably because of the rights, so let it be just a list. All made for fun, just to spend some time.

Frank Iero And The Future Violents - Violence

Placebo - Meds

Mother Mother - Until It Doesn't Hurt

Hoizer - Eat Your Young

Florence + The Machine - Girl With One Eye

The Amazing Devil - Farewell Wanderlust

Nothing But Thieves - If I Were You

Placebo - Battle For The Sun

I Monster - Who Is She

@ your post about TYK #, I think it also may be the case because many porn bots (or sex workers? unclear) use tyk and word of honor # to promote their sexually explicit posts/videos etc., so it king of poisoned the tag :/

Apparently I just don’t know how to search well enough lol. There are lots of amazing artists, very precious ✨ But yeah, too many porn bots, very uncomfortable

What's The Journey of ChongZi is about? An opinion from someone who doesn't know a thing (not clickbait, spoilers)

So CZ wants to become a heaven resident to have a pretty dress and never ask for food again. She falls in love with her teacher Luo Yin Fan, who is a 1000yo virgin and makes a confused face all the time. Zi Qin Ke and Zhuo Hao fall in love with CZ, but she rejects them, so they become best buddies. Everyone hates CZ because she stinks with a demonic aura (a heritage from her demon dad), has no manners, and can't read. She's also a lucky one to find a new demon boss in his natural habitat. He kidnaps her, she adopts him as her uncle and tries to help with his love life but he dyes his hair grey and dies because of an aching heart. Day by day CZ’s stinky aura annoys the old grumpy grand grandpa more and more and LYF thinks of nothing better than stabbing his disciple to death. But he decides to grow her again like a Tamagotchi. 16+ years later CZ comes to the mountain again with the same face and demonic aura shocking everyone. LYF is attacked with hanahaki and now has an even more confused face and red eyes. A sweet kitty never-thought-you-are-a-double-agent-sure Mu Yu blesses CZ with nightmares bc demons want her as a queen, kills a college and everyone blames CZ ofc. LYF *saves* her by sending her to the hella cold ice prison where she's hanged on hooks for 3 years and never comes to visit his *beloved disciple*. CZ’s bff comes to the prison to save her from a princess bitch and a pervert, says she is a demon too and dies. CZ switches to night mode, puts on dark makeup and clothes, is lowkey against heaven residents now and agrees with everything demons say. The best boy ZH with his best buddy wingman ZQK keep trying to save her while LYF reads books on the mountain. Another teacher-loving demon tries to save her zombie boyfriend and dies. CZ finds it sad so she agrees to marry a creepy but handsome demon leader. LYF gets jealous because of hanahaki and finally decides to retire and go live a country life with CZ, but the grumpy old grandpa doesn't wanna lose such a fancy worker, so he casts amnesia on him. CZ gets angry LYF didn't come to the date because he foking forgot her entirely and crawls back to demons. ZH is also pissed about the marriage, he comes to see CZ again and gets stabbed by a loyal servant MY. MY stands for CZ’s feelings, comes to heaven to spank LYF and is killed by him, but LYF slowly starts suspecting something. A local demon Iago notices ZH is an easy catch, poisons him with hanahaki as well and gives him a demon-turning candy. He changes into black robes and gets a red eyeliner too. To put an end to this goddamn circus ZQK fights a $20 budget dragon to get the amnesia canceling phoenix blood and the greengage that turns a demon back into a human. The same moment CZ tries to get to the same tree but she has paws. ZQK saves her but almost dies, so he says “screw you guys I’m going home”. LYF gets meds both for his amnesia and hanahaki disease JUST LIKE THAT DOING COMPLETELY NOTHING AND SAYING NO THANKS, CZ is a human now thanks to ZQK’s greengage, so they ignore the bloody war between heaven and demons and present the beach episode. Suddenly LYF comes back to the mountain because apparently he didn't quit his job. CZ is attacked by one more whining bitch, reads that as a fate sign and goes fight on the demon side again. CZ and LYF have a duel, she kills him, ZQK is yeeted from a cliff and everyone forgets they have bloody flying swords (oh lord have mercy), CZ sacrifices herself to an ancient art object. ZH is shocked everyone ignores he's suffering from hanahaki too, dyes his hair white and becomes good again.

I'm so done with this show, I hate it. ZH and ZQK were the only good ones but one is ignored and seen as a joke and the other is ridiculously killed, and the main couple is so annoyingly immature and ignorant, I am freaking angry. I ignored Wang Zhuo Cheng’s character in this review cuz he's so empty, just a nice photo shoot. No season two, please.

Also, I saw this wig somewhere lol

[ra-vale]

I really love they both cut each other’s sleeves. It was like a wordless conversation and we know where it leads.

wen kexing there is no way you just cut that man’s sleeve

A messy black-and-white drawing of frightening ZZS, I said. A pretty and clean one, I did.

It was almost black with only one pair of eyes glowing. I didn't want to include this much of the Scorpion at first, only a silhouette of his head, but a flying arm was a nice little detail, so the full torso appeared. Then a little of shades, a little of value corrections, a little of colour, and boom, it's something completely different from the first idea

Starting this I had one goal: to make it messy and put all of the attention to ZZS’s eyes to make him look terrifying. Well, half of that is done.

I really wanted to go out of my comfort zone with it by making this drawing sketchy, unstable, a little psychic maybe. I chose an uncomfortable brush and kept reminding myself to not clean the sketch. At the beginning, I was thinking of Yor Forger in a killer mode and Mob 100 (now I think I would actually accomplish what I planned if I just replicated Mob 100 style huh). It's very not me to have such an over-exaggerated anime style. So I returned to my comfy waters very quickly, oh my.

So yeah, here goes a clean piece again. I really like this bright pallet, and I feel like a monochromatic version is closer to what I wanted to do. Uh. Don't threaten the Ghost Valley Master!

Also thanks to Karina Farek for the eye trick 🫶

[ra-vale]

“You dare act against the person who is mine?”

Not gonna lie, I got goosebumps thanks to this line. To me, there's so much weight in it, that I wanted to make this piece look serious. My style is too cartoonish for it I guess, I’d really like the scene I imagine just to appear on a screen huh.

ZZS knew WKX had to leave for business matters, though he didn't want him to depart. He was following the Scorpion for some time and wished to cancel even just to go see WKX. When he comes to the battle he's shocked by WKX’s absence. And now, when he finally sees him, someone turns out to be so bald of threatening the one and only he has deep emotions for in his presence. The Scorpion was right to approach the Ghost Valley Mater carefully even when WKX is so close to death, but he didn't see which side is the punishment coming.

This moment is so comforting to me. ZZS states his connection with WKX. He acts calmly, almost mathematically accurately, not a second is wasted, every move is cold and perfect, thanks to decades of experience. He protects the one who is used to having no one covering his back. He protects the most dangerous man and ghost in Jianghu. He protects his man.

cant wait for your dark zzs!!!!!!! your take on wenzhou is stunning, im so happy when i find a new piece on my dash

I'm waiting to finish it too 😆 Kisses are good, but I also wanna show them in their villain/killer mode, bc it's still a murder couple and I love it ✨
