[still-snowing]

a sequel of sorts.

#mdzs #mo dao zu shi #lan wangji #wei wuxian #cql #still not really cql lol but #did I borrow A LOT of show imagery even if this is clearly novel canon?? yes #sue me the show is beautiful and I was thinking about those scenes while writing this so I just went oh fuck it I’ll put them in #I’m the artist I do what I want for the sake of thematic resonance part 2 #anyway!!! I’ve been sitting on this for two weeks and I don’t like it as much as the first one but I was rlly interested #in exploring what it feels like to love someone for years and then you lose him and then he comes back in another body #and like that’s still a miracle you know?? what right do you have to complain #but the body you imagined to love doesn’t exist anymore #and you mourn it #and sometimes you dream about it #and yet this new body you can love so you do #tbh I don’t think mxtx has thought about this for one minute but I’m obsessed with this concept lmao #and there’s this whole silent subplot in the novel connecting wwx’s physicality and ownership over his body that I could talk abt for ages #and I wanted to look at it from another’s perspective #so here! #I’ll shut the fuck up now ❤️ #my art #(also forgive my liberal use of commas I debated over commas placement for longer than would be considered healthy #and then I went for all the commas)
