Happy Dragon Boat festival to everybody and happy birthday to me! 🐉🎉

Here's a short Hualian dragons fic I wrote for "Tails and Scales: A MXTX Mythological Creatures Zine" last year. It's my first ever contribution to a zine, I'm very happy about it!

Summary:

It's New Year's Eve, and the rituals of humans have made Xie Lian resurface once again. While he stares at the night sky, expecting nothing new despite the change of seasons, someone above stares back.

Modern TGCF

I've tried to make a little comic of modern hualian ♥

It was quite long to draw, I'm way too perfectionist T-T

English isn't my native language. I apologize for any mistake.

(Sorry for the late post here. Tumblr became so quite lately. I've migrated to Twitter and Instagram ;-; I'll try to keep posting things here as long as there're people following me.)

there’s wip (active development) and wip (stuck in development hell) and wip (oh you’re not even getting funding for this one)

This fic was written as part of the TGCF Gotcha for Congo initiative! The request was a piece featuring Ling Wen and Bai Jin, perhaps a character study or a look at their relationship, romantic or otherwise. Ling Wen is one of my favourite side characters, and the whole ordeal with the Brocade Immortal intrigued me greatly since the beginning. To say I was over the moon when the revised edition deepened their story, and allowed us to have a glimpse of Bai Jin while he was still alive, is a severe understatement! I greatly enjoyed working on this little piece, and I hope you enjoy reading it as well.

I've been ultra sick, so I forgot to post what I got done from this challenge.

"Finish a recent WIP" and "Finish any WIP/Free Space" got crossed once I finished posting Treasure Hunting in the Clouds.

"Update your newest WIP" and "Update a partially posted WIP" got crossed with the new chapter of Cariño para Wu Ming.

I want to cross all the slots eventually, hopefully this year. I'll update when/if I do!

(text description in ALT and below the cut)

Based on some rumblings I heard, I ended up quickly throwing together a fun little WIP bingo sheet! I'll admit I largely wrote the prompts for writing, but I think a good number of them should also apply to art!

Ultimately, the goal is to have fun, and finish whatever WIPs you can (without burning yourself out or having a bad time). If you needed a sign to pick up that project you've been putting off, the time is now!

3x4 Bingo square titled "Finish your fucking fics february"

the top three across left to right read "Update your oldest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been buried deep in your drafts", and "Finish a WIP that you haven't posted yet"

the second row reads "Finish a recent WIP", "Finish a WIP you're scared of" and "Finish a WIP that's been haunting you"

the third row reads "Update a partially posted WIP", "Finish any WIP/Free Space", and "Finish the next WIP in a series you've been avoiding"

the last row reads "Update your newest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been ignored for at least 6 months", and "Finish the next chapter for a fic you've been meaning to for months"

Ah, how time flies... like Xie Lian had to fly and fly and fly... 🥲

I adore this gif set with my entire soul!

Almost a year ago in May my friend @yabancreations and I were talking about a fic they wanted to write and I made these silly gif animations as a birthday present for them! Ban's fic Treasure Hunting in the Cloud is a Hualian modern AU meet-cute story and it is amazing and fully out now!! ✈️✨

I'm not even like deaf or hoh but if you're adding subtitles to something I think you should always transcribe foreign languages too. None of that [Speaks Spanish] shit. You don't need to translate it to english. But you need to at least give the option for a deaf person to read it and understand it themselves. I don't care if it's not important to the plot. I don't care if it's just them saying like Okay or Damn or whatever the fuck. Write it down

[yabancreations]

today i wrote zero words! but i did think about my story twice in passing. that probably counts for something

[yabancreations]

when did “lmao” become shorthand or w/e for “i’m fucking suffering”

[yabancreations]

If you answer no, please let me know why, I'm genuinely curious. I don't mean for this to seem like there's one right answer, there isn't, it's just when I post works, I hope to get criticism because I know I'm a flawed writer, and I won't get better if I ignore that. Some people who write fanfiction are absolutely amazing writers, and if they believe that they don't need criticism for their work, then I'm glad that you worked so hard to get there! I just am wired differently. I know a lot of criticism can be seen as hate, and I want to be clear, when I say criticism, I don't mean saying 'this sucks'. I mean an actual look into the work, and pointing out what works, and what doesn't. I would love to get criticism, because it meant my stories were worth thinking about and people think I'm capable of improving.

Anyway I'll focus this post on MXTX authors, because that's the fandom I write in and I want to know what they think specifically

[yabancreations]

i hate when people are like “i really understand what it’s like to be Prey… to look up into the jaws of a predator and know it’s my purpose to be Consumed…” like bitch no, prey runs away, you’re some other shit
