Idk why but the idea of there being like... cultivation magazines is so so funny to me.

Another drawing inspired by Kiki's Delivery Service <3

[sleeplesssoporific]

Something briefly possessed my body to draw this.

[sleeplesssoporific]

A couple days ago I watched Kiki's Delivery Service for what is probably not the first time but IS definitely the first time I remember!

I kept on sketching Wangxian as them throughout the movie so take this quickly drawn sketch 🤲

Lan Wangji gave him a bunny plushy <3

Okay guys be honest: my mom asked for help finding plants for our porch, is it insane if I try to convince her to plant a bowl of lotus flowers purely because of mdzs.....

I think about @shanastoryteller 's fic "wing bones touching" and WWX experiencing the 'being someone LWJ loves' to 'LWJ not knowing it's his love' pipeline constantly...

[sleeplesssoporific]

Sorry I was gone for so long with exams!! Have a bunny-shifter WWX and little A-Yuan as a gift 🤲

Whenever I get an idea late at night I like to type out a reminder and then save it as a draft. But 90% of the time I'm writing it at like 3am, so when I'm more awake... it makes no fucking sense.

Like genuinely what does this mean.

OKAY, HEAR ME OUT!!! NIE MINGJUE AS A FU DOG. They're "lion-dogs", with the male ones emitting yang energy, which represents strength and warding off evil. It SCREAMS the man to me, but of course it is such a suggestion. OR A XIEZHI, a mix between a unicorn and dragon which can apparently decipher between right and wrong, and wipe out the wicked by biting and goring them - which is so Nie Mingjue core. Nie Huaisang, could be a Fenghuang, a bird-type creature who, while representing love between and a husband and a wife, is said to "appear during the good times and disappear when trouble arises" in some traditions. If that's not him I don't know what is (once again just a suggestion, be free)

WAIT OKAY IM SEEING THE VISION-

As much as I like the imagery of Nie Mingjue being a big ass lion-dog, THE XIEZHI ONE IS SO FUNNY TO ME

The resource that I read specified that they will just full on murder and stab any corrupt officials and that is so on brand for me. So I think I want to go with that... I'll mess with the design later on today because SUPPOSEDLY they're goat or ox like... but also all the depictions of them do NOT look like that.

I was going to make Nie Huaisang just like... a more chill version of whatever Nie Mingjue was, like make him a little more animal than mythical, but the idea of him appearing during the good times and nopeing out during the bad times is also really really funny. Especially when it's not just a character trait but actually like... an assumed instinct??? It fits in with his character so well. I can just imagine the arguments with his brother about it...

also the connection to birds!! I like that.

I would love to know what MDZS was like from Wen Ning's pov.....

Hello!! I have seen your hybrid AU and i am in love!! I love hybrid AUs so much and the idea behind it! And yours is very cool! I like the idea that you made wwx a bunny instead of a fox! Makes it very interesting and emphasizes his role(servant) much more if he is a "harmless" bunny surrounded by these mystical animals (dragon for lwj and lan) . Idk, i jus rly like the idea!

And i have also jus had some ideas but would rly like to hear your ideas for this AU!

It would be funny when wwx reincarnates that mo xuanyu (did i write that right?) Was a fox or smth, cuz, idk ,, ,

Or ! Ive thought about wwx being a bunny, and bunnies normally like have strong kicks, and it would be interesting if wwx didnt use kicks in his fighting style, cuz he was a little bit stunted in his potential by the jiang? And their style doesnt support kicking and footwork as much or smth,

Aa idk i jus rly like hybrid AUs and i didnt even consider wwx being a bunny and jus the juxtapostion of mystical hybrids and normal animal hybrids and thats such a cool wordlbuilding idea!! Love that so much,

I would rly love to hear more ideas or even rambling from you if you want, cuz i am very interested in this concept!!

(So sorry for rambling, i jus have a lot of thoughts, and didnt know how else to show you, that someoone (me) is very interested and fascinated by this au. + !! I saw your post with tiger wwx!! And you are the reason i read that fic and it was amazing!! So thank you for sharing it !!)

Hello hello! Thank you for the ask!!! :D <3

I LOVE that you caught on to the emphasizing the whole son of a servant thing because I was TOTALLY thinking about that when assigning shifting forms to people/clans. I feel like people would absolutely jump (heh) at any chance to have a like... physical reason to put him down? Like something that visibly puts him apart from everyone else. Not to mention the fact that it would also affect how well they think he can fight!!

As for your ideas/questions:

Honestly, idk whether WWX would reincarnate as a fox or another bunny. Part of me wants to do a fox because that would just be another way in which he changes, and it's interesting to think on how that would effect him. The other part of me thinks it would be really funny for him to still be a rabbit because I'm SURE the rumors of what his shifter form was would change after death. Like, "Oh, Wei-qianbei don't you miss being a bear/lion/demon shifter, now that ur just a bunny :/" and he's like "What???".

THE HOW IT WOULD INFLUENCE HIS FIGHTING IS AN AWESOME IDEA- HE WOULD TOTALLY BE REALLY GOOD AT KICKING AND ALL! Idk really anything about the style of fighting they use in mdzs, but I do feel like kicking someone in the middle of a sword fight would be considered like.... at least a mildly dirty trick to use (ignoring that one frame in the tv show where LWJ kicks the shit out of Xue Yang). So that would be interesting too! Like would other people consider him using his natural strengths cheating? Idk!

Also really interesting point about the Jiang style and clan styles- I think they would def be more suited for the types of shifters they are!! And WWX might have to mess with the style or create his own because of that, so that his fighting skills are not stunted. YOU'RE MAKING ME HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AH

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL UR IDEAS AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT YOU ARE AS INTERESTED IN THIS AU AS I AM!!!!! PLS LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE THOUGHTS ON THIS TOO IM SO INVESTED NOW

(Also pls don't apologize for rambling!! I feel like from my response you can tell that I LOVE when people send asks like this!! + YIPPEE!!! IM SO GLAD U LOVED THE FIC I LOVED IT TOO!!! <3 <3 <3 :D )

[sleeplesssoporific]

Second part of this au because I imagined them practicing fully shifted fighting... and I think that WWX would be really creative lmao.
