[QZGS TL] Butterfly Blue's Reflections, Ten Years Later

T/N: On April 28, 2024, for the tenth anniversary of the completion of The King's Avatar novel, author Butterfly Blue wrote the following Weibo post:

Translation below:

2014 April 28, to 2024 April 28. Ten years. 😲

It’s a bit of a blur, but yes, it’s been ten years. ⁉️

My editor told me in advance that I should write something to discuss my reflections, but I kept refusing on the grounds that I didn’t have any reflections to share. 🥺🙏 After going back and forth for a while, I suddenly thought, "not having any reflections" was itself something that I could share with everyone. 🤔

How come I don’t have any reflections? Because it’s been ten years. 😞

Ever since that day ten years ago, when I wrote that final period. The story of the world of Glory ended there. 🤗 And ever since that day, my thoughts and feelings on this story, this world, and all these different characters have gradually grown fewer and fewer. 😞👉👈

In 2022, as part of a Qidian event, I wrote another prequel chapter. I followed my ideas and thought patterns from my past prequel chapters to write this new installment. But as I wrote it, it was choppy, it was awkward, it was forced. 😫 The forty-plus-year-old me, regretfully, can no longer write well this story that brought me so much joy and delight during my thirties. 😞😞 This is probably the power of time. In the end, I have no way of maintaining my mood and state from ten years ago. 😞👉👈 When I think about this, I suddenly realize that “time” should be the true protagonist of this reflection, rather than anything else I could share about this work. 🥹 

With that, I immediately become even more saddened. Ten years have passed, I’m no longer young, my hair is gone, my beard occasionally sprouts some white strands, and I can no longer sleep right after eating due to acid reflux…🧎

And The King’s Avatar, after ten years, is still there. There are still people who see it, there are still people who like it. Through the passage of time, this is, to me, the greatest source of comfort. 🫡

Thank you to The King’s Avatar. Thank you to the past, present, and future readers who pick up this work. Thank you to the many staff of all roles who have kept busy for this work. 🙇

I wish that time could stand still. I absolutely do not look forward to another ten years passing by, but that day will inevitably come. 👋

Then, I will wish everyone happy travels on their life journey! I hope this work will be the flowers that decorate your happy journey. 🫂🫂

Twenty questions for fic writers

I was tagged by the wonderful @elenothar! Thankssss❤️

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

45

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

456.761

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I've written for a bunch of fandoms over the years. Currently I'm most active in Guardian and adjacent fandoms, but I think I could and would still write for pretty much everything I've written for in the past. So the full list would be Guardian, the Silmarillion, QZGS, MDZS/CQL, YYM, the Rebel, DMBJ, and some RPF :D

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Counting the promises as yet unbroken (165)

A ballad of burning lungs and bated breath (125)

A hand within a hand (holding light) (120)

Kaleidoscope (114)

Crowded full of parting's feeling (99)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to always respond to comments, bc i myself really like it when an author responds to my comments, so I would be a hypocrite not to do it myself. But also I kind of enjoy that interaction. Especially if ppl have commented on specific lines or on the themes. Sometimes commenters have insights about my fics that even I didn't have myself while writing, and I like to let them know their thoughts were appreciated :)

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Well, I am an angst writer, but I often try to make the endings of my fics at least a bit hopeful :/// I think the angstiest ending to a finished fic would have to go to either Crowded full of parting's feeling, which ends with LXC being (for the first time in his life) truly and utterly alone. Kind of a bummer. Or perhaps the easy part, which ends with ZYL crying himself to sleep on the kitchen floor.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

As I said, I try to make my endings hopeful, if not truly happy, but there are a few true happy endings to my fics! I think my RPF pieces tend to be the happiest bc I am slightly less likely to put these guys through the wringer the way I do with my truly fictional blorbos. I think the happiest however is homecoming, which ends with WJX finally coming out as trans and being her best and truest self.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet??? Hopefully it stays that way! I do write RPF though, so I'm very ready for one of the crazy antis to one day drop into my inbox calling me all sorts of nasty things for *looks at writing scribbled on hand* having the audacity to put characters in fictional situations that don't hurt the real ppl that inspired these characters in any way??? yeah :PPP

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Occasionally, when the muse strikes! But my ace brain finds it quite difficult. My mind tends to trail off and scatter all over the place when I get to the actual smut, and I have a hard time reeling it back in. As a result my smutty fics often get needlessly long xD and they also get a little kinky bc my brain tries to come up with ways to stay engaged in its own writing xD I like testing the limits of how poetic I can be about smut scenes.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Almost never. I rarely enjoy reading them unless they are very well done, so I don't generally think of writing them. The only consistent exception to this rule is all the weilan derivative fics! I love those very much, even if I don't always know the characters. So i've written one of those myself: no shame in having loved, a crossover between the Rebel and Detective L, which takes Luo Fei's perspective at snapshots in the Rebel canon, reflecting on everything that Lin Nansheng learns, loses, and cannot seem to stop giving away. It's a sad one, but with a slightly hopeful ending :)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of? I don't think I'm big enough in any fandom for anyone to consider stealing my work.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but I have had one podficced :D

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have not. On the one hand I think I'd love to try one day, but I'm also very particular about certain things and I fear I might get antsy. I love brainstorming about fic though! Some of my best ideas have come from talking to people.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Uhm Weilan I think? I'm not really in fandom for the shipping.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

ohh hard one. I have three, if I may:

And miles to go (before I sleep): it's a story that's still very dear to me, but it's been so long since I started it that I think I'd need to rewrite the whole thing, bc I've gotten better at writing in the meantime and the style of any new chapter wouldn't match the first ones.

First gradually, and then all at once: I wrote all of this in a single week, and then uni got in the way, and then my hyperfixation on YYM ended and since then the fic's been stuck in unfortunate limbo :(((( I really want to finish it but I need the muse to guide me

Tryptich: not yet posted, but fully planned. It's one of the toughest, angstiest, most cathartic fic plots I have ever come up with, and I really want to write it because it is such a meaningful story about mental health and loss and recovery, but it's also YYM fandom, and as established above I need to regain that hyperfixation for this to move anywhere :(((( or just have a lot of free time on my hands where I can write both the guardian fic stuck in my brain and this.

16. What are your writing strengths?

uuhm, I think atmosphere/scene setting, structure, and character study/reflection.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

dialogue tags (bane of my existence). I also think my work can sometimes drag on, I use too many words sometimes. Also I feel like I can be kind of a one trick pony xD I repeat a lot of similar lines and dramatic build-up between stories.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Can be great when other ppl do it. If it's a language I can read a little bit that's nice , otherwise including a translation at the bottom helps. I'd definitely never write dialogue in a language I'm not fluent in. That being said, I do pay a lot of attention to what language my characters are 'actually' speaking, even if I present their dialogue to my readers in English. For example if would write a phrase like "he pauses to breathe between all three syllables" (which sucks as a line, but bear with me), in an English-language fic where the characters would canonically be speaking Mandarin Chinese, then I would make sure the line that character said would actually contain 3 syllables in both English and Chinese. I do a lot of that kind of reasoning in my head. "If this line, reflecting on dialogue spoken in Y language, was transposed directly into language X that the characters are really supposed to be speaking, would the line still work like this?" if the answer there is no, then I will either change the line, or change the English dialogue until I have something that reflects what I imagine the characters would say in their native language in the way I need!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Tolkien!

20. Favorite fic you've written?

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE??? it's probably either a hand within a hand (holding light) or kaleidoscope.

Thanks again, this was fun!!!

QZGS Rec Bingo

I did a blackout bingo for the qzgs october-ish fanwork rec event!

More info on the event here: https://shadaras.dreamwidth.org/181475.html

Full list of recs below!

From before 2020

Title: The Dos and Don'ts

Author: Summer Snow

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14748434 

Jelly’s notes: YeLan alt format fic!! Team happy writes up a guide for yx to flirt with blue river, accidentally sending him the draft version where you can see all the edits on the google doc XD. Summer’s fic is so fun and funny, and the workskin is very cool, though it works better on desktop than on mobile.

Stabbed you with a knife

Title: Even gods can fall

Author: eringeosphere

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16039565 

Jelly’s notes: Magic AU, MCD. erin’s fic is one I’ll never be able to forget because it just makes my heart ache. yx is killed by the people he loves most.

Favorite Tropes

Title: Foundations

Author: BlueberryAsh

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28358907 

Jelly’s notes: which favorite trope does this cover? Soulmates, unconventional soulmates, platonic relationships, angst and feelings… I love everything about this fic so much.

Longer than 10k

Title: Means of Transportation

Author: lynne_monstr

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32626198/chapters/80932876 

Jelly’s notes: Lynne’s de-aged ywz fic! I uh actually haven’t finished reading this yet bc I didn’t want to be too influenced when I was writing my own time-travel fic, but I’m looking forward to reading til the end! The plot, the feelings, the character interactions, and the attention to detail is #writinggoals. I just love Lynne’s writing a lot.

Missing Scene

Title: but man am i bad at math

Author: syncogon

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27480358

Jelly’s notes: qyf’s rookie challenge from the other side. All of synco’s alternate perspectives are really great and thoughtful, but I like this one especially. Wyc and lx’s reactions at the end made me laugh.

Rare Ship

Title: think of me and burn (and let me hold your hand)

Author: Synoshian

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22763488

Jelly’s notes: NSFW, yuhuangye poly relationship with gray-ace yx! I haven’t read a lot of nsfw tka fics lately, but this one was memorable because of Lies’s portrayal of gray-asexuality. Sometimes yx is into it and sometimes he’s not and that’s okay. I really love the way yuhuangye interact with each other and respect boundaries. This fic is both sexy and soft.

Non-English/Translated

Title: that delivery bro who comes and goes in the wind and snow ( 那个风里来雪里去的外卖小哥 )

Author: 缩水仙人球, translated by Dayadhvam

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36500344

Jelly’s notes: wonderfully crack-y allye, a lot of fun. Yx gains the skill of teleportation and becomes… a fast food delivery worker XD. ty dtriad for the translation <3. Plus, love lauchis’s contribution of yx’s sizzling whopper

Prequel Era

Title: paved with good intentions

Author: PotterheadAvengerDemigod & theAbandoned_Grimoire

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/40674066

Jelly’s notes: superpower au, tx-centric precanon, a hint of angst. I really liked the characterization of tx in this, and I’m super curious about how tx’s power works. Maybe the writers will go into it futher in another fic since this seems to be part of a series in the same au.

Female focused

Title: Pretty Magical Girl Gao Yingjie

Author: GeniusCactus

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/40506660/chapters/101481006

Jelly’s notes: GK’s bbfic ft art from wack!! Trans girl gyj finds confidence and solidarity as part of a team of magical girls! First chapter hit me in the feels– gyj’s feelings of being scared and alone are too real. But seeing gyj find herself just fills me with so much joy. I have so many hopes and dreams for her. Also the image of wjx with earrings is something I didn’t know I needed.

Made you laugh

Title: how the tables have turned

Author: alkat

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25266829/chapters/61254943

Jelly’s notes: social media & crack! kat has such good one-liners, and this one has so many of them! I really love kat’s brand of crackfic

AU

Title: storm chaser

Author: swanfrost

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20099092

Jelly’s notes: hanye gods au. the way swan writes conflict is so delicious and distinctive. There’s an economy of words that adds to the tension. I really love swan’s writing, definitely #writinggoals.

A work you love

Title: We don't need lights as your smile is as bright as the stars

Author: Missing_Ninja_History

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35874712

Jelly’s notes: the wangye dance au that gma wrote me for ss. I have no words for how much I love this. The tension, the way they love dance so much, the way wjx thinks and feels about yx… it just makes me smile. This fic deserves so much more love.

Shorter than 1k

Title: Workplace reviews

Author: the_real_lord_grim

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30041430

Jelly’s notes: grim's alt format in the style of reviews, which is really cool!! Samsara’s made me laugh, EE’s made me sad. It’s a fun and creative fic

Pre-canon

Title: ‘til midnight comes

Author: Shadaras

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29921295

Jelly’s notes: shade’s wangye <3 i love how soft and full of feels this fic is. The parallels between yx and wjx really come through, and i love how they can just support each other.

Meta

Title: A magician does not know regret

Author: weilongfu

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21732871

Jelly’s notes: I’ve saved this one since long ago because I liked it so much, a perspective from wjx about qyf’s growth.

Glory focused

Title: Strategem

Author: DancingBloomTKA

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31039853/chapters/76677230

Jelly’s notes: anyone who is interested in writing battles should study tib's fic. It is not only technically superb but there’s great storytelling too!

A comfort work

Title: A Glorious Butt

Author: Anonymous

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15691755

Jelly’s notes: hehe. Allye crack

Crossover/Fusion

Title: Light From Dust (来自尘埃的光)

Author: MTKiseki

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24616501/chapters/59469184

Jelly’s notes: Kise’s hp crossover! hp is chosen as the tka characters’ representative in the triwizard tournament. Unfinished and idk when kise will get back to updating, but she has some really cool and thoughtful worldbuilding ideas about the clash of eastern vs western and how that plays out in the wizarding world.

Fanart

Title: One Last Dance

Author: skysongxd

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22862440

Jelly’s notes: no I will NOT shut up about Sora’s ballroom dancer smc. Sora’s art is chef’s kiss, smc is gorgeous, and the dress design is asldkfjsdk; This art is so wonderful that I wrote a little oneshot based on it (https://archiveofourown.org/works/28231686). I would love to see more fic based on Sora’s wonderful art!!!

Minor character focused

Title: pocketful of pebbles (swallow, sink to the bottom, swim)

Author: madmaenad

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32952565/chapters/81783973

Jelly’s notes: one of mae’s staff fics. mae is so good at making you feel for minor characters. I loved this one about wind howl’s healer.

Alternate media

Title: a cosplay show video where the title is clearly mtl’d

Author: Tencent Video

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcSKARsFWks&list=PL8u-QnV8v_57L7HX62o6L0uORwkLm-tSs&index=15

Jelly’s notes: uhhh I’m not good enough at Chinese to be able to tell what show this from, but it’s a clip from a cosplay performance game show I think. The cosplayers put on such a great production with singing! and dancing!! Also the one-liner: “yx, do you have to sing everytime we battle?”

Canon divergence

Title: any way the wind blows

Author: anaiata

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33111721

Jelly’s notes: a yx goes to br set-up! I really love the friendship between hst and yx. You can tell they really care about each other!

Got you into a ship

Title: (I’m Not Throwing Away) My Shot

Author: ryukoishida

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15192653

Big news posted on Butterfly Blue’s Weibo - new TKA extra chapters releasing December 1, free on Qidian!!! 

Most likely it’ll be more prequel chapters—I’ll work on translating it ASAP!

[raindigo]

excerpts from qzgs ch. 1027 & 1028

i was listening to 追光者 (roughly translates to light chaser) and was overcome by my 叶橙 feels like these two... i love these two more than my heart can contain or my words can express like idk i tried my best to do butterfly blue’s original text justice but idk man you cant prevent things from being lost in translation...

1027.

Excellent Era’s last participant was about to step forth. While everyone craned their necks, waiting for this contender, Tao Xuan’s eyes briefly swept over Team Happy, whether on purpose or unwitting, and Su Mucheng stood up.

Of course, Chen Guo thought to herself. This was a possibility everyone had more or less intentionally avoided bringing up: Would Su Mucheng represent Excellent Era in today’s competition? Now, the answer had finally revealed itself.

Su Mucheng glanced at Team Happy, her gaze not betraying much of anything, before she turned and walked straight towards the competitor seating. On the other hand, when Tao Xuan turned his head to look at Team Happy or, to be precise, at Ye Xiu, his eyes held a pleased, borderline gleeful shine.

Chen Guo didn’t understand what was going on, yet when she turned to Ye Xiu for an explanation, what she saw on his face was an expression she had never seen before. Could he be... angry?

Yes, he was furious!

Even when he was forced to retire, when Excellent Era had gone so far to ruin his reputation, Ye Xiu had always remained calm; that such fury would show on his face was completely out of left field. Why? Was it only because Su Mucheng was about to compete?

Chen Guo didn’t believe in this explanation. The look Tao Xuan gave them after Su Mucheng stood up, which deserved some pondering on, was probably the source of Ye Xiu’s anger.

Chen Guo was still mulling over the situation when she noticed Ye Xiu had already left his seat and, in the blink of an eye, he was walking into Excellent Era’s wing of the pro player seats, halting in front of Tao Xuan. 

Tao Xuan stayed in his seat. He tilted his head the slightest bit to observe this former captain of Team Excellent Era, this good friend he had once met inside the online game. At that time, they’d regarded each other as brothers and had pretty much faced life and death together in-game, and then, he’d founded this pro team as an investor, he’d recruited his good bro to be the captain. Time passed in increments, they dropped the epithet of “brothers”, until today, when they’d come to regard one another as opponents.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Ye Xiu had already hidden his anger away and schooled his expression into one of his usual nonchalance as he looked down at Tao Xuan.

“I’m hoping she performs well,” Tao Xuan deflected his question, a smile playing at his lips.

“I see.” Ye Xiu, however, acted as though he had received the answer he had come searching for, and returned to his own seat.

Chen Guo really wanted to ask but was too afraid to. Afterwards, Ye Xiu didn’t let any other signs of his anger seep through, but his face held traces of sombreness—this, too, was a condition she had never witnessed before.

“Calm down,” Wei Chen ejected all of a sudden, deadpan.

“En.” The fact all Ye Xiu did in response was nod, without any complaint or comment, demonstrated that, right now, he was indeed very agitated.

Ye Xiu, losing his cool?

1028.

An uproar swept through the entire stadium, the cacophony so loud it was impossible to distinguish one noise from the other. But Su Mucheng paid them no heed; in this moment, she was the most at peace she had been in the past year and a half. Henceforth, she no longer had to shoulder these struggles and these burdens. It was as though the world had rewound to the very beginning, back when she tagged along with her older brother and Ye Xiu, earning a living playing video games. It had been tough, and yet they were happy.

Su Mucheng felt a little like crying. She quickly hid her face against the person next to her.

“Leave the rest to me,” that person said.

“Okay,” answered Su Mucheng. What she truly wanted, in the end, was just to stay like this, by that person’s side…

here’s a few lines from 追光者:

你看我多么渺小一个我 (look at this small, insignificant me) 因为你有梦可做 (because you, i can dream) 也许你不会为我停留 (perhaps you won’t stop and stay for me) 那就让我站在你的背后 (then let me stand behind you)

我可以跟在你身后 (i can follow behind you) 像影子追着光梦游 (like a shadow chasing the light in a dream) 我可以等在这路口 (i can wait at this street corner) 不管你会不会经过 (regardless of whether you’ll pass by) 每当我为你抬起头 (every time i lift my head for you) 连眼泪都觉得自由 (even my tears feel freely given)

t/n: 2 points i was kinda stuck on was 

a) i originally translated it as tao xuan invested in the team, but then i realized this part is his inner thoughts, and in his pov he's the one who created jia shi, he's only able to treat ye xiu like trash by discrediting him

b) in the og text it literally says mucheng buries her face into ye xiu's body and i was like !!!!! but it just sounds awkward translated literally and i felt like i was cutting off a piece of myself when i changed it

- Question: How did Huang Shao Tian came up with his IGN, Troubling Rain? can't think of how

- Butterfly Blue:  to be really honest... I’m the one who actually thought of it.

I know we'll never get an answer to this but who do you think will win season 11 of Glory? My bet is on Samsara. They were close to winning season 10 but then Ye Xiu went crazy and snatch it from them.

Sorry love, but I can’t actually answer that. The English release for the web novels is only at chapter 662 so...

Something like behind the scenes (joke):

陶轩：你不会以为这样就能回到职业赛场了吧，叶秋。 叶神：对不起，其实我叫叶修。

叶修: 谢了 叶修: 身份证挺用 , 陶轩 现在还在骂叶秋. 叶秋: 混账哥哥!

针对许久，却不知“对头”真名，陶老板表示：场面一度非常尴尬

Tao Xuan: You don't think you can return to the professional scene this way, Ye Qiu? God Ye: Sorry, my name is Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu: Thank you Ye Xiu: The ID card is very useful, Tao Xuan is still scolding Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu: Damn brother!

For a long time not knowing the real name of the "antagonist", Boss Tao said: That scene was very embarrassing

(blame google for translation, I couldn’t understand the last sentence)

This Friday at 12.00 on Tencent Video, come and watch Ye Xiu&Ye Qiu confusion!
