Hi! I wanted to know if the lyrics for all the songs in withering lotus and rotting waters were written by you? And if you would let me use them someday if they are yours. Not for another written work or anything like that but to use them for a song?

Hello! Yes, all the lyrics are written by me, except for the verse of Queen's "My Fairy King" in Withering Lotus, chapter 7, and the "Song of Yue Boatman" in Rotting Waters, chapter 4.

And yes, you can musicalize them as not-for-profit/non-commercial projects! Preferably as metal songs, but if that's not your genre, it's fine too. If you do it, please send me a link, I'd love listening to them 🤩

It was due time I tried my hand at drawing the one, the legend, princess of my heart: Zelda. Now, if you're curious about what's going on in the picture, as in what's the lore/situation, I can only say I'm taking the Nintendo approach: no plot, just vibes~

That's right, we have an update!

Thank you Tiira for this wonderful piece, everything you do for Heavenly Damnation is gold 🤟

The story of Heavenly Damnation, the TGCF Heavy metal AU by @yabancreations continues with the second part Rotting Waters! Here is a moment from chapter 4!

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 8 Ghost minion Hua Cheng and ghost minion Xie Lian

Prompt: Free - A simple thing

"Why do we have to assume such a bizarre appearance?" Xie Lian asked, and Hua Cheng's incense stick long answer, painting a detailed portrait of the Green Ghost's peculiar "feats" and "deeds", made him laugh to the point of crying.

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 7 Young Master/Amnesiac Hua Cheng (butterfly dream) and Bride Xie Lian

Prompt: You'll always be the only one I like the very best

After Hua Cheng mentioned that bride kidnapping was traditional among his mother's people, Xie Lian made a little bet. One memory-eating monster and a wedding dress later, their vows are happily renewed.

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 6 Fisherman Hua Cheng and Ferret Xie Lian

Prompt: Food as an expression of love

Nothing like tricks to defeat a tricky yao —and Xie Lian was looking for an excuse to try his husband's shape-shifting magic, anyway. A ferret is a strange choice for the mission, but Hua Cheng doesn't mind. Giving him treats this way is adorable!

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 5 Fox Hua Cheng Wu Ming and Calamity Xie Lian

Prompt: Mystery

Xie Lian arrived to the ruined battlefield in search of resentful souls and found nothing but a single fox spirit that had already devoured them all. The jiuweihu wore a mask that Xie Lian understood it as a sign of subservience.

What a pity, but it'd do.

This piece was vaguely inspired by the first arc of the c-novel Bai Yao Pu. A soldier boy saves an ash fox from death, and they become friends. Years later, the fox sacrifices his tail to save the now grown general from execution, and eats the spirits of all his victims to spare him from karma.

Bai Yao Pu has a donghua and a manhua.

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 4 Ghost fire Hua Cheng and God of Flowers Xie Lian (butterfly dream)

Prompt: Fire and rain

Children scared of a ghost fire in their flower fields prayed to Xie Lian, the god of flowers, so he could get rid of it. He answered with no intention to damage the little spirit, wishing to talk with it instead. The rain surprised the god and ghost while they talked, and the former was quick to shelter the latter, who shone brightly to compensate for its lack of warm.

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 3 Soldier Hong'er and Apothecary Xie Lian (butterfly dream)

Prompt: Flower

Medical visits are the only joy that Hong'er gets in the barracks. He always helps the apothecary, Xie Lian, however he can. Today, he was tasked with gathering medicinal ingredients. Diligent as ever, he found them all, plus the courage to gift Xie Lian a flower.

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 2 Sect Leader Hua Cheng (butterfly dream) and His Highness The Crown Prince Xie Lian

Prompt: Sword

After initiating his training, Taizi Dianxia isn't easily persuaded to leave Mt. Taicang. However, the leader of the Crimson Rain sect is visiting the imperial court, and there's no way the prince would miss the chance to see his legendary sabre!

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 1 Hong'er and Child Prince Xie Lian Prompt: Red

While chasing butterflies in the palace's gardens, the young crown prince caught a glimpse of red beneath the foliage. He went to have a closer look, and found the crimson eye of a baby looking back at him.

How great! He always wanted to be a gege.

Happy Chinese New Year, the year of the dragon!

This is the mighty ghost dragon Hua Cheng, whose rain is made of blood. He turned into a dragon after accidentally swallowing the red coral pearl he stole from the prince. Since then, he's been seeking the lost god to give him his pearl and blessing back.

Chapter 4: Something for Xie Lian

This story is complete! Right in time to alleviate the void left by the ending of season 2 of the donghua (what will be of our Wednesdays now?)

One of my goals for 2024 is to write in a more relaxed and spontaneous way, and here's my first step in that direction.

Summary: After a series of unfortunate events, Xie Lian’s old friends allow him to crash their couch for a few weeks. Upon arrival, Xie Lian is amazed by the amount of online shopping Feng Xin and Mu Qing do, and even more by the extremely awkward timing of the local postman who brings their parcels. How is it possible that this man only rings whenever Xie Lian is in the shower?!
