- the mandate of heaven-

Getting really good at drawing the miku binder! I started out with a basic copy paste checkerboard pattern, but it looks way more realistic if you stretch each miku slightly with the warp tool + rotate offcenter.

Bonus transparent miku <3 use it however you wish

Nude versions under the cut

[grand-theft-carbohydrates]

funniest shit i learned this week: absolutely obsessed about the way daddy sima fang vs daddy sun jian named their sons + the hypothetical relationships they had.

lets look at Sun Jian: He was born to a peasant father whos name was never even recorded in history, but he had high hopes for his sons and he named them accordingly:

Sun Ce, styled Bofu -- Ce means "strategy," Fu is a type of military token used to prove that a command has legitimate authority. very ironic the son named "strategy" is the hothead who rushes into things. Sun Quan, styled Zhongmou -- Quan means "right" e.g. "the right to rule", Mou means also strategy. this time it's appropriate, at least! Sun Yi, styled Shubi -- Yi means "to assist," Bi also means..."assist" I guess daddy was trying to get the message across "hey champ. ur like the 3rd son ur NEVER going to inherit. so just be good and help ur bros, ok?" Sun Kuang, styled Jizuo--Kuang means "to revive" as in "to revive the han dynasty." Zuo............also means "assist." (OK DAD. I GET THE MESSAGE. GOD.)

MOVING ON! this is the 8 brothers of the sima clan. notice anything?

ALL their courtesy names ended in Da. No it wasn't common for the time. Their contemporaries were straight up roasting them for it, calling them the "Sima-Eight-Da" it gets better. you see the courtesy names Bo, Zhong, Shu ect? they're used to denote birth order going from eldest-> youngest. this is the fucking equivalent of naming your kids One Two Three Four Five... + tacking on a Da at the end. (Da means achieve/reach btw) im losing my fucking mind over the implications. Sun Jian the barely-educated, peasant-born, Mr "talk softly and carry a HUGE sword," is spending 7 hours a day on babynames.com in between kicking dong zhuo's ass, obsessing over each letter like a 13yo creating their first OC, being all "my precious baby boys are destined for greatness and they need the COOLEST names and COURTESY names to match." and sima fang is like [Ctr+ C] [Ctr + P], and in the end it's HIS ugly kid that ends up unifying china.

Did Sun Quan expand the state of Wu at all, or were Wu's boundaries fully set up by Sun Jian and Sun Ce?

Sun Quan more than doubled what Sun Ce conquered.

Sun Jian was not involved with Wu as a territorial entity. He was never an independent warlord and ended his life in service to Yuan Shu as one of his generals. After his death his brother-in-law Wu Jing and nephew Sun Ben led the family troops but remained Yuan Shu's subordinates. During this time they established the family in Danyang (Yang province).

Sun Ce took control of the family's army when he came of age; Sun Ben and Wu Jing were evidently happy to be his subordinates. Under Yuan Shu's banner, he captured the eastern half of Yang province (the area called Jiangdong). After breaking from Yuan Shu in 197 and becoming an independent warlord, he captured western Yang as well. That was the extent of his territorial conquests, though. Sun Ce secured what would become Wu's heartland but it was limited to Yang ; and did not even include the province's greatest city, Shouchun. Much of this territory was occupied by unaffiliated Yue peoples, and this land was only physically occupied during Sun Quan's time.

Under Sun Quan, the state expanded vastly. He added most of Jing province (except for the northern portions that remained in Wei's control), and the entire Jiao territory. He also received tribute from kingdoms in modern Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. (This should be recognized as them acknowledging Wu status, not as submission.)

GOOD GARVEY HES (half) NAKED

The devs wouldn’t take his shirt off in his demon boss form like with Xiahou Dun and Liu Bei because they’re COWARDS

Why do I have to do everything myself?! /jk

Still on that three kingdoms grind and now I found a pretty fun way of adding colour. Might consider opening commissions in the near future since I’ve gotten more comfortable in my ability.

But for now… nonsensical crackships… COMING SOON…hopefully

Is it still the case that historians believe Sun Quan lost his mind later in his life?

I'm not sure if anyone other than me thinks that. If someone more respectable has proposed or endorsed the theory, I haven't heard it. As far as I know, it's an idea that begins and ends with me. I certainly wouldn't say "historian think this" especially since talking about "historians" as any kind of homogenous group is misguided.

I do think Sun Quan had some kind of mental degradation later in his life. In his early years he was very active and decisive; he was an excellent judge of talent and character and was very good at putting the right people in the right places, and giving them the resources they needed to succeed. By the end of his life it is impossible to find evidence of these qualities. The chaos that enveloped Wu's court in the final years of Sun Quan's reign strikes me as something that simply couldn't be allowed to happen if a once-competent ruler still had command of all his faculties. I do think I've made too much out of some of Sun Quan personal quirks and odd choices in the past, but the decline in his competence remains very noticable.

This is not something everyone agrees on. Some people insist that Sun Quan was always useless, his court was always a mess, and his behavior didn't change . If you dismiss Sun Quan as having always been an inept ruler, it's easy to say that the end of his life was the same as the beginning. I think this is an incredibly foolish and ignorant opinion no one who has actually studied the time period could actually hold, but people have funny ways of surprising you. It's laughable, but some people are born to be clowns.

There are other, more reasonable arguments, to be made. These accept that Sun Quan was not the same ruler at the end of his life that he was at the beginning but look to other causes. The nature of the Wu court changed, from a warlord state to an imperial one, and Sun Quan was unable to adapt with it. The loss of so many key figures who propped him up wore away at both his authority as a sovereign and his effectiveness as a governor. He got sloppy when he no longer felt that his state and his life were in imminent danger. You can take your pick of any, all, or none of these answers.

Or you can just say Sun Quan was always bad and not have to worry about thinking any thoughts.
