gu xiulan

jaromila (I couldnt figure out how to make her look older)
from this scene
The heavy door opened, revealing the woman she had met in the crater. She did not look much different, save that her golden hair hung about her shoulders, and she wore a glittering gown of midnight blue, trimmed with white fur now. Her stern expression swept over them, and Ling Qi caught a hint of curiosity there.

These were done with a combination of Nightcafe AI art generation and Photoshop (to fix things the ai messed up)
 
Ling Qi Portrait
[X] Was it the act which had made Ling Qi? Impulse and fear, falling too quickly and too hard?
I was mostly neutral on this, but after reading all the arguments in favor of this option, I've been convinced. So, I choose to vote for this, but I won't be upset if the other choice is picked.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm not sure if I want to see much more involvement from Ling Qingge in the main story. My concern is that the narrative already has numerous dangling threads to handle, and adding more might strain its balance.

I'm already perceiving Ling Qingge as more of a part of the overall clan dynamic rather than a character with a deep personal connection to her mother. Perhaps this could change once Linq Qi's family moves into her territory. However, as it stands, the interactions between Ling Qingge and her mother are too sparse for me to invest significant weight in the development of their relationship.

She was aware that in the household, and a certain village where he had raised a fortress wall against a tide of impurity, Zhengui was already receiving some amount of prayers. Fertility of the earth, good fortune and wealth… The last part was probably because of his name.

…Even her puns had power. Such a dangerous feeling it was, to have something that simple and childish rippling out. It was probably her best pun, with multiple methods of reading. Precious, true turtle, expensive…

Well it was definitely too late to change now. The wind blew forward, not back.
Yay for puns! I think it was @Katreus who came up with it? Wasn't there for it, but i think thats who i saw when i went looking a while back :)


Edit: realized that the original image link wasn't permanent

Han Jian Portrait and Ling Qi Dreamscape
I come bearing art from my friend JJ, who does not have an SV account but *is* on the discord now sharing their live read thoughts:
First, a Han Jian art they did to commemorate making it to Threads and their favorite character dropping out of the story for the most part :p
And then an earlier art, where they were just doing some abstract doodling until i went "...i'm pretty sure thats Ling Qi's soul you're doodling", and they added LQ's silhouette and the music notes to complete it

Showdown at the Meng Saloon
She could feel through Sixiang, through her own senses flickering echoes of the real world, so far away from them now. Of a withering, pounding heat and a quaking earth. Of people rushing about in a panic, distant cries, steam boiling from the Meng compound flooded now, waters poured down the side of the cloven mountain.
(...)
A young man terrified for his kin, marched into the flooded ruin that should have been home, a silent shadow with a wide brimmed hat at his side. Behind flashing lenses thoughts stirred unending rallying dizzied sickened kinsmen to his side, hunting those who had needed no parasites, who guarded the keystones of temple towers.
I can't wait to hear more deets on Meng Dan and Xuan Shi's epic Tag Team Nerd Brawl, after they stroll into the Meng compound like hero cowboys into a saloon full of bandits.

Founding members of the Brotherhood of Husbandos, bound by battle and shared "What in the absolute fuck" entrancement of her MC-ness.

Two sets of implacable footsteps approach the entrance, their hardware gently clinking with every step. Eyes hard and set on their grim task, the deputies push open the doors on their creaking hinges to meet their uncertain welcome.
