Longnü design attempts

[lotus-duckies]

i kind of like that a lot of the major contributing characters in the legend of nezha are kiddos , i think it really adds to the story

since a good chunk of said story focuses on how these children function independently of adults while still under the jurisdiction of the adults in their lives. it is supposed to be, in one part, Investiture of the Gods but from Nezha's perspective, in my opinion

They get distracted, they act selfishly and petty, they don't understand some of the things the adults tell them and come to their own conclusions, they're still dependent on others, they have a lot of Big Feelings and don't know what to do with them, adults don't listen to them and tell them what to do, and it's this childish nature they display that also charts their growth and simultaneously reminds us that they're just kids in a war that's much bigger than them.

behold, Yingge and Longnü

[yourlocaleggperson]

Okay I have a mini lmk theory

Remember when Ao lie talked how Mei looked like his sister ( Ao Cinxin/Xihai Longnü) so what if Mei is the Reincarnation of Ao Cinxin? That's the theory

Estranged AU: In an alternate universe, Princess Iron Fan didn't choose DBK after his affair in the Journey to the West. She chose herself. Meanwhile, MK and Red Son end up in a fake relationship. 

Chapter 34: Longnü (A spin on S3 Episode 2 "Dragon of the East")

Summary:

“Let me get this straight,” Sun Wukong said. “You’ve been friends with Red Son this whole time?”

MK sweated at his skeptical stare. Yup, I can’t tell him. How was he going to explain he ended up in a fake relationship that became real with the very kid of the Demon Bull King?

Meanwhile, Mei meets her legendary aunt, the Naga Maiden of Bodhisattva Guanyin. After getting scapegoated like her ancestor Ao Lie, Mei looked forward to a dragon relative she could trust. The question is, can she trust Longnü?

Okay so i have been trying to get info on who longnv is and what her role is jttw because i always see tags and i saw a particular post on tumblr where i was scrolling through the jttw tag and i saw her but when i went to search on the jttw character list she wasnt there so now im like "wait...what?"

So pls if its not much of a hassle can you just pls tell who she is and what her role is in the story cause i have been trying to find stuff about her but end up fruitless

I’m surprised you haven’t found much information about her… She has a Wikipedia page so if you were looking in English, she would’ve come up.

But honestly, she isn’t really referenced in Xiyouji because she doesn’t really have a role in the story besides being an assistant. She’s Guanyin's other disciple besides Muzha but since Muzha is doing all the work, and has all the lines as the go-between got GuanYin and other characters Longvu is only really mentioned in passing standing next to GuanYin in certain scenes.

As you can see she IS mentioned but she doesn't SAY anything really.

As for history, she has a whole background of lore in Buddhist mythos as she has a long history. I talked a bit about her here and here when talking about Gaunyin and who she is a bit. So simply to say she’s not really a “character” within the story as she doesn’t have any dialogue or actions, but rather she has a lot of lore surrounding her that just isn’t referenced in Xiyouji as it’s not needed for the narrative. She is still mentioned within the novel just never interacted with! So it’s kind of like the novel references her more so!

Put it simply the most common lore I see about it is that she is the granddaughter of The Dragon King and the daughter of Ao Guang, the same dragon king of the East that Wukong took his staff and armor from and the same dragon king that has his son’s, Ao Bing, spine ruled out by Nezha in his legend. Needless to say, the east dragons have a lot of people messing with them. There are more legends of her that I haven't really gone into but she def has been around for a long time in Buddhist lore.

And Longvu works under Gaunyin and works with Muzha. And I don’t know if you are aware, but Muzha is the older brother of Nezha… so she is working with the sibling of the guy that ripped out her older brother’s spine.

Which I think is hilarious personally.

Also, that would make her Bailong's cousin too!

Small Heavens.

But yeah! We don’t get to see her lot in media. I think I’ve only ever seen a depiction of her when she gets actual lines in the 1999 series where she and Muzha interact with Red Boy when Gaunyin comes to recruit him. Also in Fei Ren Zai Non Human! I haven’t read all or watch that series yet but I know she is depicted quite often there as well with Gaunyin and Muzha and Red Boy (now Shancai). Also possible in the Nezha tv series from the early 2000s? Haven’t seen that one, but I do know there is a Dragon Girl that he befriends in the series!

If anytime knows more media she is in please chime in!!

So it’s no trouble at all!! She has more lore outside Xiyouji so I would suggest looking beyond that scope!

Here are some links to help you read about her! I hope this helps!

You are a member of the Dragon Clan! Your allegiance is to your family!

Besides Benched and Amnesia Rules, Great Grand Dragon of the East is definitely one of my favorite episodes from S3, but this moment right here is what stuck out to me the most.

And not in a good way.

Joy.

Yeah, this isn't going to be a fun one, folks.

So, because the number varies, we don't actually know exactly how many children Ao Guang has, but because of a proverb that's taken literally in Journey to the West, it's safe to assume he probably has at least nine kids in total. In terms of sons, we do know he has at least three of them. Unfortunately for the Dragon King, all three of those sons also end up dying.

AO BING (敖丙)

I actually already talked about Ao Bing months ago, but to reiterate, he's the third son of Ao Guang (with his name even referring to the third Heavenly Stem, an ordinal system, when writing it as 丙) and was killed by Nezha after the dragon prince tried to avenge Nezha's other victim Li Gen, who also died trying to attack him after Nezha accidentally disrupted Ao Guang's Crystal Palace by causing a waterquake. After Ao Bing died, Nezha decided to take the dragon's tendon and turn it into a belt.

Keep in mind that Nezha was only seven.

Naturally, Ao Guang was devastated when he learned the news, but Nezha assaulted him before he could report it to the Jade Emperor to keep him quiet. This however didn't stop Ao Guang from trying to take matters into his own hands anyway, so he enlisted the help of his brothers to arrest Nezha's parents for the murders, only for Nezha to sacrifice himself instead.

After the rise of the Zhou Dynasty, Ao Bing eventually gets deified, becoming the god of the Huagai Xing (华盖星), or Imperial Canopy Star.

MOJIE (摩揭) AND LONGDU (龙毒)

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and one of the dragons who's about to meet his end. Because the only thing worse than losing a child is losing two. On the same day. By the same person.

Enter the Crown Prince and Second Prince, apparently sometimes called Mojie and Longdu respectively.

So, centuries after the Nezha incident, what happened was that a group known as the Eight Immortals decided to cross the East Sea using their powers or magic tools, all while being very drunk. One of them, Lan Caihe (藍采和), decided to do so by using their jade clappers, but this quickly caught the attention of Ao Guang and especially his eldest son due to the clappers shining through the water.

Caihe then ends up getting kidnapped by the Crown Prince so the latter could steal the clappers, and though Ao Guang agrees to give Caihe back after another immortal, Lü Dongbin (呂洞賓), injures his eldest son, he refuses to give the clappers back. This soon leads Lü Dongbin to kill Ao Guang's sons shortly afterwards.

Then it's war.

So the East Sea gets dried up, Ao Guang's palace gets destroyed again, and after Ao Qin convinces his brother to just report this to the Jade Emperor, the two sides are eventually forced to reconcile while Guanyin fixes the Dragon Palace and also gives two pieces of the jade clappers to Ao Guang as compensation.

Side note here, but Sun Wukong himself appears in this story towards the end and it's to side with the Eight Immortals.

And as a sort of honorable mention:

LONGNÜ (龙女)

Probably not her actual name, btw; Longnü literally just means Dragon Girl, so it tends to be a pretty common word when referring to a female dragon. But speaking of the Eight Immortals, one of Ao Guang's daughters—prior to the death of her brothers—fell in love with one of them, specifically Han Xiangzi (韓湘子), Lü Dongbin's own apprentice. You know how it goes: boy plays dizi, dragon girl hears it and disguises herself as a silver eel before approaching him... Classic meet cute!

Unfortunately, Ao Guang soon found out about his daughter's affections and forbade her from ever seeing Han Xiangzi again, but she managed to send him a new dizi, one made from Guanyin's own bamboo grove, to remember her by.

New monkey cop au ideas after watching Juvenile Justice

[dragonstone-au25]

Hey Longnü I have a some sort of artblock so can I draw your oc Longmei and those two pages of your comic? Please, because of this artblock I can't create pages for my own comics

Sure!!!

Here's a picture of Longmei. And also if you haven't read my other post I will be deleting both those pages and place the new ones.

Here's Longmei in her two different outfits.

They are cousins

[lotus-duckies]

so basically what i'm saying is i think nezha being in the womb for 3 years stunted his growth since prior to reincarnation, nezha was very squished and stupid in comparison to leizhenzi and longnü, who are supposed to be 7 and 8 respectively

you know, the same age as nezha

and then after reincarnation he was reborn to be in a better fitted body to match them

tbh when i first saw the way his lotus form was designed and how he looked next to his friends, i was wondering if it was a 'well shoot we designed nezha and his friends separately and they don't look like they're the same age we need to fix that' situation. you know, just my opinion

[digitaldoeslmk]

these changes in lmk are silly so fyi in my au:

Ao Guang is an Azure (Green-Blue) Dragon

Ao Run is a White Dragon

Ao Lie, Ao Run's third son, is also a White Dragon. Not Green.

Mei, as Ao Lie's descendant, could have any color rly, but im making her a black dragon. for the drama uwu

and Ao Cinxin, known as Longnü and Ao Lie's sister, is also a White Dragon

[meowganne]

Concept design for a new LMK character because i can’t get enough.

This is THE Longnü from mythology, the offspring of the east sea dragon king Ao Guang. Their story is inspired by the tale in the lotus sutra where the dragon maiden turns into a male bodhisattva to achieve enlightenment, though that decision was quite hard for them for they are still attached to their femininity. For that reason, people around them call them “niang pao” very frequently, to the point where even younger or uneducated people who hear of this name will call them that aswell, thinking it’s their true name.

While their true name shall remain unknown, they are mostly (and prefer to be) referred to as the dragon maiden. They are Ao Cinxin’s cousin and they retired from they position as Guanyin’s assistant long ago, leaving Cinxin to take her place.

Longnü works as a caregiver now, they teach children how to write, how to spell and count, and sometimes they take them on trips to discover different places together. Longnü, unlike their cousin Ao Cinxin, is very calm and rational with their decisions, but also too much of a pacifist that they’re not even willing to fight back against threats.
