Guardian/adjacent:
TOO SOON.
Fanart: something to save you from the image linked above. Kunlun/bb!SW kisses. Dancing pose. Old Haixing Da Qing (with mango). Long-haired Prof. Shen. Dragon!SW. Kunlun. Outfit "doodles." Soft Shen Wei. Soft Zhao Yunlan. In the car and a companion piece. Little beauty to big beauty.
Oh god they look so good in B/W.
For the archery kinksters.
Zhu Yilong's smile. 😭

Untamed/adjacent:
Fanart, modern CQL fashions (different than the CQL Modern AU) Lans. Jiangs. Wens. Jins. Nies. I would love to see what this person would do with Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen.

Thanks to naye and wrote_and_writ for many of those!

Info on writing letters to the OTW. Here's the response no_detective got, so if you'd like to tailor yours to address that non-answer... (check out their post on it as well)

Sleep last night was wretched and I'm falling back into unhealthy sleep patterns despite my best efforts. It's very discouraging and is not helping my mental state. Ugh. Ah well. Write porn, carry water.

Oh!   And today's a whole bunch of HIStory 3: Trapped posts on my Tumblr. My queue says there are some still to be posted next week?   (I did not queue them for next week?) but when I   try to post them I get an error screen from Tumblr.
And now DW   is inserting strange spaces and carriage returns/br tags into my post here so I'm just gonna quit while I'm ahead and go work on Deconstruction...

Oh yes, Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen would be so cool to see!

[clevermanka]

Maybe they'll eventually do them, too!

[trobadora]

TOO SOON.

LOL! And the related fanart is so cute, OMG. Love it.

And awww, Da Qing! ♥

modern CQL fashions

Oh wow, these are amazing.

[clevermanka]

That lantern fanart is ADORABLE omg

Overjoyed Zhao Yunlan! Fierce little Shen Wei!

[trobadora]

And now I want a fic version of that scenario, OMG. :D

[minoanmiss]

Oh come ON, OTW. That is a freaking mealymouthed worthless 'response' . The electrons wasted in crafting it died in vain.

I have been an OTW booster from the very beginning but I am finally angry. I need to figure out what I'm going to say.

[clevermanka]

Yeah, I didn't think I could be disappointed further by all this, but WELP.

[riventhorn]

Lol, the modern CQL fashions-- I like how the Jiang clan look like they're going to lead the most badass fitness class ever at the gym.

[clevermanka]

And I can practically hear that nylon blend slip-squeak of the trousers NMJ and NHS are wearing. 😆

[nnozomi]

TOO SOON
You know how they say "carrying a torch"...?

I'm not even a clothes person and those modern CQL drawings are amazing, the detail! the imagination! the coloring!

I've been trying to follow through based on the OTW contact templates through naye et al., why is everything such a MESS oh dear.

(Also, summer is the worst season for sleep even without all this, I've been waking up every night at odd hours and I'm usually a good sleeper. Take good care.)

LOL oh we are terrible people and I love it.

I did a literal jawdrop over those. They are stunning! And yes, I would seriously love to see how the artist would translate SL and XXC (and the Juniors)!

I got that same boilerplate OTW response, despite using some of annateethe's phrasing that was formulated specifically to address how that response is insufficient. Now I'm just hanging in there for the elections.

Sleep last night was wretched and I'm falling back into unhealthy sleep patterns despite my best efforts.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Summer's usually tough on sleep, it seems.

[clevermanka]

Yes, ugh sleeping when it's too warm is awful. I got my anti-anxiety meds and while those are helping, I'm still waking up between 3 and 4 and rarely falling back asleep.

[tinny]

Aaaarghhh the Lantern. /o\ We really should have thought of that one ourselves...

Innefablebfs's drawings are so beautiful!

The b/w ones are really good. I keep looking at how glossy BY's lips look in it.

Thanks so much for the Zhu Yilong in Africa pics! There are two that I hadn't seen yet!

(Archery is hard, yo.)

Oooh, History Trapped. I especially love the Jack/Zhao Zi kiss, for some reason. I really should rewatch that show, it was so brilliant.


I hope you are sleeping better again now! <3<3<3

[clevermanka]

Trapped is SO GOOD. So so so good and such a comforting show.

Sleep is better, thank you and knock knock. I might not be getting six consecutive hours, but I am getting six total hours and that's nothing to sneeze at!
