A Heart of Ice and Jade

I finished SWBTS a while ago and I love general ouyang so much! I’ve been waiting to read the book since 2020 but only got my book a few days ago, ahhhh it feels so surreal! well written eunuch antags are so rare in historical fiction and I never thought I’d live to see one beautifully written like a trans mlm, this really satisfies my incredibly specific niche (I’ve been fascinated by the concept for years), sorry I don’t know how to authentically describe how much ouyangs character means to me, he’s genuinely (almost) everything I’ve wanted to see in historical fiction, like oh my goodness... he raised the eunuch antag bar way too high now I’m gonna be disappointed when I read anything else

thank you if you read my entire paragraph above I feel like its really hard to articulate just how much I love ouyang as a gay dude with a eunuch hyperfixation... hope u like the art!

General Ouyang

Record Holder of Grudges

Full disclosure, I haven’t actually read the book but just absorbed our general’s angst through osmosis from my friend’s ranting. Full credit to @exo-locket for biting the bullet and diving into the heartbreak so I didn’t have to. Your pain and suffering was a source of endless sympathy and entertainment.

I do appreciate General Ouyang’s absolute commitment to his BE and the intense case of emotional constipation he suffered with throughout the story.

May the AU gods treat you well.

Lord Shen X Fenghuang Headcanons

*takes deep breath* These two were my 2nd most favorite kfp ship with Tipo ofc being my most favorite. I started shipping them bc of a few fanfics & became obsessed with them since! I can't really explain what got me to stil be fond of this ship for years, but it somehow clung to me. It's the second rare pair I ever made fanart for. It's a shame that I could only find one Shenhuang fanart tho. At least I have the skills to do it now!

How slow is this slow burn? World's largest burning candle slow. Seriously, you have two stubborn deranged tsunderes who are heavily deprived of love & affection. There is no love at first sight between them. It's more like love at first fight-

They didn't like each other at first. Due to their unhinged, similar but clashing personalities, they initially fought and bicker frequently. These two could be mistaken for sworn enemies who despise each other for over a century. At one point, they have to separated from each other because they almost engaged in an altercation together.

Most of the time, whenever Shen is paired with someone (OC or canon), that someone submits to him and hey, ofc Shen would always want to be the dominant one in the relationship. However, Fenghuang would NOT take being beneath someone. This woman is a fierce free spirit who canonically destroyed & broke free from the owl-shaped cage that was built SPECIFICALLY JUST FOR HER (btw, Oogway built that cage). She can see right through Shen like he's crystal clear water in a glass.

Fenghuang will not put up with Shen's spoiled princely demeanor (which is why she gave him the nickname:"Prince."). In fact, she'll have the guts to call him out on his bs & put him in his place. She doesn't sugarcoat things, she delivers the truth on a cold silver platter. For sure Shen's ego took a massive hit like a tsunami due to being humbled for the first time.

However, Fenghuang is not without her own faults or blindspots. In can on, she lived in a mountain in isolation (I'm surprised she didn't go cuckoo) for who knows how long because she picked a fight with her own master (Oogway) & is too cowardly to face him again. Despite being humbled by Fenghuang, Shen is highly perceptive. So much so, he can easily pick up on Fenghuang's own arrogance & can swiftly knock her off her own high horse with one kick at the right opportunity.

They never publicly announced that they're dating. In fact, it took quite a while for their loved ones & those acquainted with them to realize they're dating due to being used to witnessing the two being at each other's throats. Most of their interactions consists of them quarrel like an old married couple. Understandably, it's easy for outsiders to see this as a toxic relationship. Despite displaying zero PDA, they prefer to be intimate in private.

Again with Shen being observant, he can easily take note of what Fenghuang likes & dislikes. However, the first time he tried picking out a gift for Fenghuang, he's in complete shambles due to being worried about whether or not she'll like & accept the gift. Doesn't help the fact that Fenghuang wouldn't be easily swayed by flashy gifts & gestures and that she generally is difficult to impress.

Has to be an accessory since he doesn't know her measurements (yet). Aha! This silver peony hairpin! No, not her favorite flower. Perhaps this tree branch hairpin? *shakes head* Unimpressive. Maybe this sun hairpin instead? *groans as he chucks the 30th hairpin in the discard pile*

One of their favorite things to do together is training. As they got closer, the sexual tension between them rises like champagne in a bottle with the cap eventually popping off like a rocket. Both wouldn't outright say it out loud, but they do admire each other's skills & abilities in combat. Shen is mesmerized by Fenghuang's flash flight speed & precise agility with her feather knives. In return, Fenghuang is captivated by the deadly elegance of Shen's tail feathers & use of his guan dao. It's a gradual build up to accept each other's feedback for their own skill sets.

In due course, they come to love playing with knives together...

Their favorite date locations are almost anywhere with little to no people. Private restaurant reservations, vip theatre seat access and flights across the vast skies (Fenghuang usually carries Shen). It's almost a 50/50 on who plans the dates. It took a while for Shen to not get carried away with overly grand gestures since he's an all or nothing type of person. In comparison, Fenghuang is more casual.

Without a doubt, these two love taking hot baths together. The bath will be smelling like a perfume shop due to fragrances & bath products they'll use & borrow from each other. They'll be conversing with one another as they wash each other's backs & tail feathers. The first time Shen saw Fenghuang drenched in water, he let out a howl of laughter before being splashed with water by her.

Do they get intimate during this time? Of course do! How intimate? That...will be left to your own imagination ;).

Who's more clingy than the other? Shen for sure. He's more demanding for attention than Fenghuang is. If he wants affection, he wants it now. Whenever he finds Fenghuang alone & he's certain that no one else is around, he'll walk up to her & wrap his wings around her. He loves it whenever Fenghaung strokes his neck gently.

Sometimes, Fenghuang is in need of attention too. Whenever Fenghuang has hunger for affection, she'll silently cling onto one of Shen's wings & nuzzle her head on his shoudler. She's quite pleased when Shen strokes her head tenderly as a response.

Since they are both birds, they can't really kiss like how most other animals could. As an alternative, they'll gently nuzzle their beaks in target areas. Shen's favorite area is his neck while Fenghuang prefers the upper back.

Who opened up to the other first? Fenghuang since she isn't as stubborn as Shen. As I said before, they despised each other at he beginning. As time goes on, they'll slowly come to realize that they don't differ much in character & empathize with each other's struggles & flaws. They have each other question their own character & motives. They test each other in a way no one else ever could. They gradually came to understand each other in a way not perceivable by others.

They almost broke up at one point. Yet, strangely, their psyches synchronize together in a strange but alluring pattern. Once they both do their own self-reflection & come to a great understanding, their love will become unbreakable like the blades they wield. Even though they never say:"I love you." to each other, they

later, ouyang thought esen wouldn't even had noticed: the moment his stillness of anticipation flicked into the stillness of shame, as quickly as capping a candle. his blood ran cold; his body burned. it was the feeling of a blade slid gently into his heart.

Hi, I just started "She Who Became the Sun" and, your art helped move the book to the top of TBR list 😅

I'm hoping you can help me with this - I remembered seeing a fanart recently but I can't find it anymore, and I don't know if it was you or @chiptrillino who made it or reblogged it. Can you help? It was two pics, one was a modern au drawing of Ma, Zhu, and Xu Da (I specifically remembered reading tags about Xu Da having skaterboy style or something like that?) And the other pic was Wang(?), Esen, and Ouyang. Did I imagine it???

Anyway - your art is amazing and I enjoy seeing them on my dash!

HIii so happy to hear this!! and yes that art Does Exist lmao, the modern au brainrot reigns eternal, I'm so happy to know u like my art that much <3333

ya know, I loovee seeying how people draw moon, how they view them, how diferent and similar he can be to many artist! I adore that sooo much!! yet I also cant help but feel a bit sad to the boyo.. I trully dont believe he is a bad guy!.. I totally see why the game made Moon is the harder one to beat, he is the tutorial as to show how one can beat the others robots, that the player can in fact do things around the plex! yet I believe he is a softie! a silly dude! someone that, just like Sun, is stricts on rules! but after getting infected, this "strict on rules" became a "scary strict" , the fact he is really focus on you, player, to sleep is because is WAY too late to be around! :C that raspy voice? while creepy when he is cheasing you, I also imagine is was a way he could sound eepy but funny! imagine him telling a story with a less raspy soft voice? his real voice! and because I believe in the idea that both worked in the teather, maybe Moonie played the "bad guy" kinda like roxanne is this "badass wolf" but is also a sweetheart! I see him being this dancer, who will play tag and those he gets must get comfy in bed-- I see him being so patient with the little ones, despite his looks (I imagine the red leds are part of his desing , as his plushie has a red eye, and not part of the virus) because just-- look at this!

mah boy is just silly silly! and a softie! thats is, that all I wanted to say, I know some ppl do see him as a softie too, but I dont find many fanart of softie moonie often.. (and I need to make more fan art like daaat) also I see him like roxy, while in main game she is mean to us, in ruin we see who she actually is! imagine the same on him! also I know in ruin he is more.. violent- but you wouldnt be if suddently you see a rulebreaker, and then your home catch fire, while you are forced to be this worst side of you? I see Moon growing more violent like monty, and roxy or chica! but being actually a softie like the rest! also I see Sun is infected too, that dude sounds desperate and too stress out to be normal..)
