This poll might look a little familiar.... Due to a timing mix-up yesterday, I am proud to present the 'Best Non-Sword Weapon' poll take 2: Electric Boogaloo!
This time I've chosen to group the options by weapon with wielders in brackets*. Due to space issues, the media that each of them come from is under the read more, and this is definitely a non-exhaustive list!
*Except Xie Lian, who by virtue of winning the previous poll has been brought straight through to part two!
Thank you to everyone from the NiF discord and the watch party discord (and especially @shadaras) who have been amazing at suggesting characters with non-sword weapons! Couldn't have have done it without you! Also thank you to @thebansacredbanned who looked up the names of various obscure characters for me.
Propaganda, examples, and write-ins absolutely welcome!

I really wanna know more about your Zhu Xiaoyi, Zhu Hui and Xu Shi. 💙
oh my gosh! You don't know how excited I was to see this haha!
While I can't tell you everything, the Zhu family is under the wing of Jiang Cheng in my fic, Ghost of Mine. While we don't see them a lot in GOM, they will be more visible in The Wild Plum Tree (TWPT); a spinoff with some behind the scenes for JC/LXC in GOM.
This family came to JC during the war looking for a place where they could serve in exchange for safety as they had a baby (Xiaoyi) they needed to protect, and JC ended up taking them in. Over time, they became more of something like his personal attendants, not unlike the servants Madam Yu had at her side, but with more backstory. Since Zhu Xiaoyi is so little when he arrives, he actually doesn't know the sect he came from. Of course, even if you ask his parents you probably won't get an answer...
essentially, I created them because I wanted to make a character for JC's head disciple, who is now Zhu Xiaoyi, because I was continuously playing a character I didn't have a name for, and it felt so flat bc I was writing someone faceless with limited personality. Of course though I get attached to my characters and as a result him and his whole family got a design and backstory- I actually really love his father, he's such a big sweetie!!
It seems I haven't shown any previews of their design process, so how about now? These are only mockups, so don't get too attached! I am not a huge fan of the palette or the scars, so I'm going to probably do some tweaking still! So first off, The parents! You can probably see how much I've grown attached to the father based on his sketches haha
And of course an updated tweak for Zhu Xiaoyi's design. I'm much happier with the shapes, so I'll probably stick to this silhouette. He is an adult in "present" day mdzs (the future for GOM) so I will need to design a younger version soon since the younger design for Kai will show up much sooner than his older one. I've been mostly using him for role play but I've fell off of that lately because of being busy :')
I hope this is sufficient, but feel free to ask specific questions! 😊💖✨I get really excited when people ask about my writing or characters & I'm never sure what exactly say about them besides the basics or stuff I can't say. The questions also help develop my characters further!

Project 2: A moment in time brainstorm
This project aims to create an interactive VR experience within an art gallery setting (like the Art Gallery of New South Wales) that uses Banksy's work to explore themes of social commentary, anonymity, and artistic expression.
Concept and idea development:
objective, purpose, question, or why: narrative, interactive narrative, spatial narrative, art gallery, Banksy, visual art installation
obstacle/"the problem": The viewer would need to find out where Banksy's artworks are at the gallery and connect to Banksy's ideology
environment, location, or setting: Art Gallery of New South Wales, The Art of Banksy Sydney (street setting?)
Tools we plan to use to generate our content and assets are:
Open brush, 360 camera (game engine, if needed) blender, voiceover (audio narrative)
Tools we plan to use to author your project:
Open Brush: to recreate Banksy's murals
Challenges we might anticipate?
Premiere Pro: spatial audio that creates a dynamic soundscape and dubbing.
interactive design: example: "Would you like to join Banksy's world?" Create the "yes" option button for the next scene.
We want to achieve:
-Deeper understanding through VR experience; strong contrast of the style between Banksy street art and art gallery at the same time.
-Encourage viewers to reflect on the social issues that Banksy raises.

This weekend, I also participated in many students' performances as an audience. For example, Pei Han, Zhen Yu, Zu Tong, Xiao Yi, Li Wen and so on. They all perform in different but interesting ways. For example, using avatar images to discuss the truth and falsehood of self-image on the Internet, or the theme of cyber violence, and the theme of dreams... They were all carefully designed. I found that the framed theme did not hinder students' creativity, but encouraged them to create from different perspectives, which also broadened my horizon and gave me many new inspirations.
The photo is from Xiaoyi's music video -- the music she creates with AI is very interesting! And I asked her how she did it, so maybe I'll try it someday.

I had a thought randomly: if Yan Xiaoyi works for Li Yunrui in the palace and Lin Wan’r grew up in the palace, does that mean that Yan Xiaoyi is the origin of Lin Wanr’s love of chicken legs??? Like did he sneak them to her when she was little???

Yuja Wang – Rachmaninov: Prelude in G Minor, Op. 23, No. 5 (Live at Philharmonie, Berlin / 2018)
Yuja Wang's philosophy of music is both simple and profoundly complex. “I want to relate all life to music,” she recently told veteran British critic Fiona Maddocks. The Beijing-born pianist’s latest album for Deutsche Grammophon 'The Berlin Recital' captures the white heat of solo works by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Scriabin and Ligeti, a trio of Russians together with one of the late 20th-century’s greatest composers.
