:(((((( tags left by @galsinspace. thank you. i dont speak german but I translated it (?) and i love this so much. it fits so well.. Schrei es in die WindeSong by Faun.
The translation is accurate! @stardatewow connected this song with Wei Wuxian in the Burial Mounds, it tells the story of a girl cast out from society running away into the woods. She got cast out for doing something no one wanted to understand, and she’s scared alone in the woods but swears to come back and take revenge on all those who wronged her. The title means “scream it into the winds” and the whole song sounds like the forest talking to her, soothing her, understanding her, and promising her power.
So stardatewow said it’s the Burial Mounds talking to Wei Wuxian, and I agree! I’m glad you like it, the painting is already so beautiful!! ♡
WOW. Yeah. Okay, thats so accurate. Thank you for sharing this with me!! I think the line that resonates with me the most is the second line, “you are afraid, your gaze freezes”. For Wei Wuxian whose expressions are constantly changing, to play into those around him, flirt, admonish, etc., he is frozen with fear in the burial mounds, completely surrounded in it. It’s so haunting. I cry every time I watch it and having words that go with it so perfectly really makes my heart ache. Heres a link to the song mentioned above.
You’re so right wow, Wei Wuxian is constantly playing around and charming people and it’s such a stark contrast to how alone and stripped of all that he is in the Burial Mounds.
I looked for a translation of the whole song just now but couldn’t find one I really liked. So I whipped one up real quick, under the cut!

The moment you realise that your latest fanart might have way too many flesh-coloured pixels for tumblr. XD
I mean it’s spicy, but - it’s not even that spicy.
Anyway, if you wanna see that Wangxian fan art that might be too flesh-coloured for tumblr’s filters, you can do so on my twitter. It’s a redraw of one of the uncensored manhua panels, but still one of the tamer ones.

„I remember him as…sunny,” Sizhui tells her. “His whole personality radiated sunshine and warmth. He was always smiling, always cracking a joke. He loved playing and rough-housing with us kids, but he could also be very gentle if he wanted to. Looking back, he couldn’t have been older than twenty-five; he was probably even younger than that, now that I think about it. But despite the short time we’ve spent together while he was looking after the kids at the orphanage, he always felt like a father to me.”
In which Lan Sizhui goes on a TV show, to find the man he saw as a father figure while he was in the orphanage, and who disappeared one day.
…and who just so happens to be his adoptive father’s long-lost love.

“As you can imagine, it’s not exactly easy to make a whole family disappear. The Wens needed help with getting out of here as quickly as possible, leaving no trace behind. The Wen siblings had met someone during their studies who had sensed the danger the family was in, and in an attempt to help them, had become a target too. So, he took it upon himself to leave his old life behind in order to help the Wens disappear, but also to protect those who were close to him back then. You know this man as…Xian-gege.”
Sizhui drops the two photographs he was still holding. “You are joking,” he says, incredulous.
In which the first steps to a reunion are being taken.

“I can still hear you laugh in my mind. I still remember how you told me that you’d plant me in the orphanage’s sandbox like a radish so that I could sprout siblings. I remember how you told me stories about your brother and your sister and how you snuck out at night to steal lotus seeds from the neighbouring lake together. You always wanted to take me there when I’m older.”
In which someone realises just how much he’s being missed.
