This wip is nearly a year old now… time flies to fast and i miss my firstborn mdzs wip
Backed into a corner, he was forced to come up with a tale of Mo Xuanyu's murder. Of a failed attempt on his own life in the aftermath. He knew that it could all fall apart if anyone bothered to scrutinise, but there was nothing else he could do. He just had to hope that Mo Xuanyu was worthless enough in the eyes of cultivation society that nobody did bother to scrutinise, whilst Jin Guangyao tried to figure out how the fuck he was going to salvage the situation.

Finally took some time to sit down and draw Qin Su!
Fanart of Qin Su from MDZS. She’s in a fighting stance, holding a blade in each hand, but doesn’t look very aggressive. If anything she seems slightly put off. The drawing is done with purple lines, and isn’t coloured in.

This may be my sign to work on this wip again…
An excerpt of a WIP being told in the third person, in this section following Jin Guangyao’s perspective. It reads as follows: Echoes of fear and pain flash unbidden past his mind's eye, the feeling of colliding with each individual step, of bones pushing against bones pushing against skin, the memories of praying beyond hope that he wouldn't hit his head, wouldn't snap his neck or break his spine on the way down— how could he ever feel safe, let alone secure, when being here was a constant reminder of that!? The word ‘pain’ is highlighted.

All Ships Week: Day 3 - Assembling Furniture Together

#allshipsweek #NieMingjue #MoXuanyu #JueYu
A partially shaded fanart of Nie Mingjue and Mo Xuanyu looking confused as they try to figure out how to assemble a piece of furniture. Nie Mingjue is sat on the floor and holding the instructions, whilst Mo Xuanyu is sat on the couch and is holding two parts of the yet-to-be-assembled furniture on his lap.

The Mo Xuanyu from my most recent fic is one lucky man…
Fanart of Nie Mingjue sleeping peacefully. His hair is a bit of a mess, and he has a lipstick stain on his cheek, but he’s smiling peacefully as he dreams. The lighting leaves a soft glow across his face, whilst the rest of the room is left in darkness.

Local man is incapable of not rambling — attempts to make a ship dossier anyway

#allshipsweek
Ship Dossier Known aliases: Mo Xuanyu x Nie Mingjue JueYu MingYu NieMo Fandom: MDZS (The Untamed, Grandmaster of Diabolism, etc.) Description: Whilst these two never actually met in canon, their appeal (to me) is actually quite lore-based. The deaths of Mo Xuanyu and Nie Mingjue were the catalysts for the present day plotline — if either one hadn’t happened then MDZS would look completely different. And yet, the way the book goes about showing the aftermaths of these deaths couldn’t be more different! For Nie Mingjue, he js ever-present throughout the main cast’s journey. Literally. He’s the corpse they have to piece together; he’s the one whose death exposes the main antagonist’s machinations for the world to see. The whole plot falls into place because of his brother wanting to avenge his death! Whereas with Mo Xuanyu, there’s none of that. His face is the one the protagonist’s body […] (Text continues in next image) On the top right hand side is a fanart I have previously posted for the ship. (Continued from previous image) […] wears, and yet the most he is mentioned after the first book is when the cast — including the guy wearing his body — are uncritically regurgitating the rumours that got him kicked out of the Jin sect to be abused by his family. Y’know, the thing that eventually led to his death? We never actually find out if those rumours were true. Like most things about Mo Xuanyu, it is left entirely up to the reader’s interpretation. So we’ve established that they’re both dead, and that the way they’re treated after that differs wildly. Now we can get to the fun part! In the novel, there is exactly one part where Mo Xuanyu can be considered relevant. The Mo Village arc. In this arc, Mo Xuanyu is actually already dead. His relevance comes from the way he brought back the main character, who now needs to avenge him before he can move on with his life. Except the main character isn’t the one who gets this revenge. Nie Mingjue is. (Okay, if we’re being specific it’s actually Nie Mingjue’s arm that does it — but still!) As we all know, there’s nothing more romantic than decimating a group of abusers. Now you may be thinking ‘well hold on, sure this means Nie Mingjue could be a good fit for Mo Xuanyu… but what makes Mo Xuanyu a good fit for Nie Mingjue?’ To which I say: Without Mo Xuanyu(‘s death), Nie Mingjue’s body would likely never have been put back together, and his death would’ve remained unsolved. It doesn’t matter to me, that they never met in life, because the connections caused by their deaths are just so much more interesting.

Scene from a fic I may yet write

#MoXuanyu #NieMingjue #JueYu
Fanart of Mo Xuanyu braiding Nie Mingjue’s hair. Mo Xuanyu is kneeling, and is wearing brown robes. He has the same makeup on that he wore when he died. His hair is tied back in a bun with a burgundy ribbon. Nie Mingjue is sat down with his head slightly bowed. His hair is mostly loose and dark brown in colour. There’s a faint scar around his neck.

Haven’t touched this wip in a while… I’ll have to get back to it (or at least planning it,,) when I’m finished with my higher priority wips.

It’s one of the fun ones too, with the ghosts and all their shenanigans! It just happens that this part is on the angstier side ^^;
A willingness to have one's soul destroyed in order for the ritual to work? … Check. Sitting silently in his bloodied room, Mo Xuanyu contemplated the life he'd lived. Reminisced upon the cruelty he'd faced from the day of his birth till the day of his death. He knew if this plan was to work, he could have no doubts - remembering the shit life he was leaving behind could only help that goal.

MXY!Wei Wuxian version that is even further removed from the original meme!

Still can’t believe he said this,, rotten luck on his end, but maybe don’t comment on random children’s parents next time Wei Wuxian— ^^;
The “Not what I’m called meme”, this time featuring mini Jin Ling pointing at Wei Wuxian (in Mo Xuanyu’s body), as Wei Wuxian pets Little Apple with on hand and has the other on his hip. Unlike in the version with the actual Mo Xuanyu, Wei Wuxian looks cocky, his eyebrow raised and a smirk on his lips. His hair is tied back in a ponytail with a few strands of hair loose to frame his face. Wei Wuxian: hey guys Jin Ling: Lunatic Wei Wuxian: Didn’t your mother teach you any manners?

‘twas funnier in my head

Technically not following the correct format of the meme, but the idea would Not leave me alone—
The “Not what I’m called” meme, featuring Jin Ling and Mo Xuanyu. Jin Ling is a mini version of his usual self, whilst Mo Xuanyu is drawn normally, looking a little dejected with his arms crossed defensively. Mo Xuanyu: hey guys Jin Ling: LUNATIC! Mo Xuanyu: NOT WHAT I’M CALLED

The Making of a ‘Lunatic’

#MoXuanyu #MDZS
Drawing of Mo Xuanyu sat in a dark room — presumably his shed — surrounded by memories of the past. Behind his head is a cloud of red, distorted air. In the top left corner there’s a drawing of a Jin disciple receiving a stack of papers that are oozing with resentful energy. The faces of both the person giving these papers and the person receiving them are covered up with a red distortion. In the top right corner is a drawing of a Jin disciple discovering… something… (Nie Mingjue’s head). The face of the disciple and the entirety of what they saw is obscured by another red cloud. In the bottom left corner is part of the soul sacrifice ritual, also obscured in red. On the bottom right are some music notes, covered in the same way, but are clearer to see than any other distorted part. The same drawing as previous, but everything is a bit brighter and thus easier to see.

The doomed brothers of all time

#MoXuanyu #JinGuangyao #MDZS #MDZSFanart
Fanart of Jin Guangyao and Mo Xuanyu from MDZS. Jin Guangyao is stood facing the camera, hands behind his back. He has gold dripping down his face, imitating tears, and one of his eyes has a complete golden sheen. If looked at closely, an injury or two can be seen, marring the perfect facade posed by his demure smile. Mo Xuanyu is facing slightly to the left of the camera, and is looking down rather than forwards. He’s clutching his shoulder with a slightly bruised hand, and his face is covered in both bruises and scrapes — one of which is placed in a manner that looks like a mimicry if the signature vermillion dot on the Jin’s foreheads. His hair is tied back with a golden ribbon. Quote from the first novel of MDZS’s official translation: "Jin Guangyao was also the elder half-brother, born of a different mother, to Wei Wuxian’s current identity, Mo Xuanyu. They were both illegitimate sons, yet the difference between them was night and day. Mo Xuanyu slept on the ground and ate leftovers at the Mo Manor, While Jin Guangyao sat upon the highest seat of the cultivation world, with all those below at his beck and call. He could invite Lan Xichen for a visit if he so wanted. However, it was no surprise that the two leaders of the Jin and Lan clans shared such a close friendship. After all, they were known to be sworn brothers." The section about the differences between Mo Xuanyu and Jin Guangyao has been highlighted in yellow.

Happy wip wednesday to those who celebrate!

(From the mxy time travel fic i’m working on… very slowly)
‘It will all be over soon,’ he told himself, barely moving to block a particularly nasty blow to the ribs ‘this torture will end tomorrow. Whether the ritual works or not, you won’t have to suffer anymore once tomorrow comes.’ The day didn’t get much better from there. In accordance with his plan, he approached his aunt and uncle of his own volition — something he would never normally do, but there was a crowd that day, and so he could only hope that would lessen any immediate punishment he’d be sure to face. He prostrated himself on the ground before them, begging for them to please make Mo Ziyuan return his things. It didn’t work, of course, but he was dragged off without a beating, so he’d consider it a win. The things he’d do for this plan to work… He half cursed himself for writing that confrontation into his plan, into the notes he’d left lying around for the convenience of the Yiling Patriarch, but it was a necessary evil. He needed to ensure that Mo Ziyuan would come in and beat him himself tomorrow, needed Wei Wuxian to experience even an ounce of his suffering first-hand, so that he couldn’t brush it off like everyone else did. On the off-chance that the man did have a conscience, like he had long suspected, he couldn’t have him wasting it on the Mo family of all people — not when the man’s soul was at stake.

Hhhhhh pretty dress

#MoXuanyu
A coloured in sketch of Mo Xuanyu wearing a light blue starry night dress. He’s also wearing light blue tights with flower-esque patterns on them; a star themed necklace; a flower hairpin to tie back his hair and insect-wing-inspired dangly earrings. He’s wearing a deep reddish-pink makeup around the eyes, with the same colour on his lips.
