See you in Qinghe!

At long last, here is the last piece for the Untamed travel poster series (unless something compels me to make one for Qishan)

re: other translations for Unclean Realm, someone in a comment suggested 'Memento Mori' may capture more of the sense of the Buddhist principle it's possibly referencing

which is so metal

Memento Mori Realm

oh hell yes

i totally get why it wasn't translated/localized that way but that is SO sexy. (fwiw i think "unclean realm" is also sexy, i just don't have much of a handle on how i'm meant to interpret it lol)

Nie Mingjue: Huaisang, how would you like a job in the mint?

Nie Huaisang: Nah, I don’t like mint. What other flavors you got?

🟢Qinghe Nie Update:

In the Unclean Realm, it's believed that Sect leader Nie has an extra bed just for Baxia.

Consider what an unclean thought would have you do: it would have you roll yourself in folly and filth. Ask envy what it would have you do: it would have you murder and destroy as the result of it.

One of my favorite AO3 tags is "The Unclean Realm is a BDSM club" and now I want to write stories in multiple universes where the bdsm clubs are all named Unclean Realm

it's still NMJ's birthday in my timezone, so have some happy Nie Bros !

#nie mingjue #nie huaisang #and maybe someone else too... #mdzs fanart #cql fanart #nmj's official unofficial birthday #i've been busy preparing for an exam so i could barely think about his birthday for the longest time #and i decided to just have the two of them hanging out; drinking; eating some snacks #and i used concept art of the unclean realm as reference #then i spent a lot of time worrying about whether the table was actually like meant for tea and if it was bad that they were on the floor #i almost made them play weiqi but their faces were already done and they wouldn't be all smiley while playing #anyway it's done #i hope my inaccuracies can be interpreted as the boys being alone and carefree #and maybe nmj likes plum blossoms more than chrysanthemus because i couldn't get them right XD

More Nie riding Yao/spiritual animal!Mountain Goats. For fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So in CQL, apparently, the real Soul-Eating Dancing Fairy statue was sealed during the Yin Iron Sidequest that happens after Cloud Recesses Summer School, and the one that pursues them outside the cave and is destroyed by Wen Ning is a simulacrum that someone created.

I HAVE ZERO MEMORY OF THIS and am putting a pin in it because I have no idea how this is going to be relevant later. The culprit is almost certainly going to be be either NHS or a member of the Jinlintai Basement Murder Squad, but none of the options makes sense. Neither NHS nor any of the cultivators in his employ have the ability to create something like that, and calling attention to WWX's true identity doesn't help his already-convoluted scheme. (It can't be a ploy to ensure a Wangxian reunion either, because NHS doesn't know about Wuji.mp3 and WWX still looks like himself.) JGY & Co. have the ability to create the simulacrum, but WWX summoning WN out into the open actually hurts them; after all, WN has been secretly held in Jinlintai this whole time, and the revelation that he wasn't executed as advertised is a Bad Look. Even if he somehow knows what happened at Mo Manor (doubtful) and is suspicious, JGY has seen both WWX and the older MXY before; he'd be able to identify a maskless WWX on sight, and if he wants to call attention to the return of the Yiling Patriarch, there are better ways than making him summon a guy who's supposed to be dead in the middle of nowhere.

Again, I have no memory of this! I genuinely don't know where they are going with it or even if they remember it, so I guess the joy of discovery can in fact be present in a repeat viewing after all!

#then again CQL also wants us to think that JGY and XY were in cahoots ever since they first met way back in the Unclean Realm #which makes zero sense as a choice for EITHER of them (or for NMJ or WC and WRH for that matter) #so it probably IS going to be a scheme by all-time champion construction contractor and world's least efficient psychic NHS

another 400 word “drabble” on new information

.👀.

He knew. He’d known. He’s very good at his job -- gathering gossip and keeping the Jianghu rumor mills grinding and in check. Moreover, he’s not blind, and Da-ge has all the subtlety of a bear yaoguai crashing through an autumn-dry forest. So of course Nie Huaisang had been aware, in the abstract way of gleaned knowledge, that Da-ge and Lan Xichen were more than “close friends,” “strengthening sect ties” with frequent visits and joint nighthunts.

But, while Nie Huaisang would call himself a connoisseur of erotic works, written and illustrated, he had never -- never -- wanted to see his own brother sweaty and flushed and pounding away into their “closest ally.”

Nie Huaisang slams the door shut, more grateful than he’s ever been for anything in his life when the silencing talisman reactivates, cutting off Lan Xichen’s voice mid throaty moan. He whips his fan out from his belt, waving it furiously, attempting to redirect his mind elsewhere.

He’d had a question when he sought out his brother, he’s sure of it. Something important.

He turns on his heel only to find Lan Wangji standing there, still as a stone carving.

The younger Jade’s face is as unreadable as ever. No creases or tightness to be found. His gold eyes continue staring impassively into the middle distance like nothing in this world could possibly interest him. Like he hasn’t just witnessed his brother being absolutely railed by the heir to the Nie Sect.

For a moment Nie Huaisang considers the possibility that he hasn’t. That the door had shut quickly enough to spare him, or even that he simply doesn’t understand what it is he might have seen.

But there, just there, at the tips of Lan Wangji’s ears, Nie Huasiang spots a touch of color. A camellia petal pink that deepens with every passing second until it is as red as a fairy crane’s crown. Nie Huaisang watches the blush seep down the curve of his ears to the bottoms of his lobes.

He hides a grin behind the leaves of his fan -- though Lan Wangji’s eyes are still distant and unfocused, and Nie Huaisang is starting to think that might be entirely on purpose.

Nie Huaisang lets his eyes flick between the jade-carved features of Lan Wangji’s face and the now virulent color painting his ears -- only his ears -- and thinks, perhaps, he’s learned something new today after all.

#it’s uncomfortable didi time in the unclean realm #no nhs and lwj will Not bond after this what are you even talking about #nie huaisang #nie mingjue #lan xichen #nielan #lan wangji #lwj is being Percieved and he doesn’t even know it because his brain is full bluescreen #my writing #i researched red feathered birds in china #did you know the red crowned crane is also called the fairy crane? because i didn’t #(that’s like the direct translation but i loved it so i rolled with it) #4x drabble #quadruple drabble #wife prompt no. 3

honestly, the real reason Jin Ling and Nie Shiyong keep having babies is that Jin Ling loves to cuddle small kids/baby tigers and Nie Shiyong thinks that it's cute.

It's also because Nie Shiyong and Jin Ling are both orphans whose parents were murdered when they were babies. They were not expecting to deal with that past trauma all over again when Jin Hong was born; but eventually, they decided that they were going to have a large, loving, happy family at all costs. ;-;

#asks #yeah......jin ling had a horrible time growing up in lanling (lotus pier was his safe place but split custody rip) #and all of his cousins (except for rusong) hated him #meanwhile nie shiyong spent four years in a dungeon and the next twelve living under the unclean realm #with very rare trips out into the world until nhs finally got jgy offed #they were both incredibly lonely #plus shifters tend to have big families/thrive in large groups and nsy was separated from her family at the age of 2 #put these two together and they become samwise gamgee and rosie cotton re: babies #jin ling #nie shiyong

Summary:

The jianghu grapples with the consequences of a sect leader's murder, and the circumstances that led to it.

No one wants another war.

Chapter Excerpt:

Their faces harden, and for a vertiginous moment Lan Xichen thinks he’ll need his xiao after all, is already flicking through compositions in his head, discarding Severing and Repulsion and most of the other war-songs, he can’t hurt them for doing their duty to their sect. Perhaps Slumber or Distraction…

“How fortunate is Qinghe, to have such loyal and filial friends.”
