I still can’t forget that jewelry photoshoot so here’s my Jiang Cheng version <3 (help)

Did these before the new year, but finally getting around to posting them! I was reading the MDZS manhua and saw a panel that I really wanted to try and redraw… so I did! Then I drew a LWJ panel to go with it.

Reblog if you click like, please! Do not use my art without permission.

[ID: Two close up drawings of characters from the series The Grandmaster Of Demonic Cultivation, or Mo Dao Zu Shi.

The first is a close up of Wei WuXian. He has pale skin and black hair and eyes, and is looking to the right. There is a faint red tone to some of the lines at his hair, nose, and eyelashes, giving the effect of light hitting him. The background behind him is a grey gradient.

The secons is a close up of Lan WangJi. He has pale skin, golden eyes, black hair, and a white headband around his forehead that goes below his long bangs. He is looking down and to the left. There is a faint red tint to some lines on his hair and face, looking like light hitting him. The background behind him is a grey gradient. End ID.]

hi hi I read Mo Dao Zu Shi and I can’t stop thinking about them

MDZS prompt idea: Supreme calamity ghost WWX

I tried to find a fanfic with a prompt like this one, but couldn’t find any. Feel free to use it to write a fanfic, you don’t even need to credit me, you just need to send me the link so I can read it.

The prompt is kinda a crossover with Heaven Official’s Blessing, but not quite. You don’t need to have read TGCF to understand it, since the TGCF character’s are only ever mentioned and never appear.

So, my idea was:

After the first siege on the Burial Mounds, where Wei Wuxian dies, his soul doesn’t shatters, he is really weak, just a tiny ghost fire trying to keep other spirits and resentfull beings away from little A-Yuan until help, hopefully, came.

When Lan Wangji goes to the Burial Mounds and finds A-Yuan, WWX notices that he is hurt and follows him both to be near A-Yuan and to find out what the hell happened to LWJ. He manages to leave the Burrial Mounds since he was the one to change the wards around it when he was alive. He also maneges to get into Cloud Recesses, since he isn’t a resentful spirit.

When LWJ faints as soon as he gets A-Yuan to the healers and the healers are taking care of both A-Yuan and LWJ, WWX sees the 33 lashes on the man’s back, and is kinda freaking out trying to find out what LWJ would have possibly have done to receive such punishment.

It isn’t until months latter that he hears Lan Qiren arguing with Lan Xichen and mentioning the reason of LWJ’s punishment that he finds out that LWJ received the 33 lashes for protecting him.

Just like Hua Cheng became a poweful ghost after witnessing Xie Lian suffer, so did WWX after witnessing LWJ suffer. His rage towards himself for letting such thing happen with such a good and righterous person and his ressentment towards LXC and LQ for doing something like that to LWJ were so big that he went from a weak ghost fire to a powerful vengeful ghost.

WWX, however, is such a good person that, even being resentful and enraged, he decides not to retaliate (ok, maybe he did gave LXC and LQ a lot of nightmares about what happened to LWJ, not that he is going to admit it) and settles with watching A-Yuan grow and appearing on LWJ’s dreams during the Lan’s seclusion to keep nightmares at bay and interact with the man inside the dreams.

He thought LWJ hated him, so it was quite a surprise to see how much the man was grieving him, how much his death hurt him.

He feels just fine where he is, and that’s when he notices he has been in love with LWJ for a long time, that all his attempts of getting LWJ’s attention when they were teenagers were because he liked the Lan on a romantic way. Now all knowing looks Huaisang gave him made sense, specially because he hasn’t noticed that he was attracted to both women and men thanks to pure denial.

He also starts to grow restless, he wants to be able to do more - the cultivation world isn’t getting any better for what he heard some Lans talking, and LWJ’s moods aren’t getting any better neither, he’s only getting better at hiding them from A-Yuan -. That’s when he finally decides to go to the Tonglu Mountain’s slaughter and try to become a supreme ghost. If he managed to almost single-handly win a war and don’t have his soul shattered after destroying the Stigian Tiger Seal, he thinks he might have good chances on coming out of this one without having his sould destroyed.

To his surprise, he finds out that he can still control resentfull energy and resentfull beings, so what could’ve taken him decades or centuries to achieve took him only one year. He managed to become a supreme ghost.

He starts his self-imposed mission of trying to make the cultivation world a better place, and he starts it by getting back his notes and inventions that were with the Jin. He finds Xue Yang trying to recreate the Stygian Tyger seal and kills him before destroying the seal for good. He takes his notes and hide them.

His next stop is at the Burial Mounds. He kills resentful monsters that were born there, free the souls and put the souls who want rest to rest. The ones who don’t, he guides them to the Ghost City.

The people from Yilling start talking about the young man they see day and night guiding spirits from the Burial Mounds. They say it’s the same young man who used to go into town and sell radishes with his son and that other shy young man.

One day, months after it started, the wards around the Burial Mounds fall. There are no longer monsters and spirits there, the land has been purified. Cultivators go there to investigate and the description they heard of the man people saw sounds an awful lot like Wei Wuxian, but they can’t prove it’s him since they saw with their own eyes the man being eaten alive by his own corpses and the Yilling Patriarc look-alike didn’t make any move to get revenge on them. They decide to wait and see how things will turn out.

LX decides not to tell his brother about it, he doesn’t want LWJ to get hopes that WWX is still alive only for these hopes to get crushed later.

WWX decides to go to Gusu to see LWJ. he is really happy when he sees that the man is already being able to get up from the bed. There are still some months for his seclusion to end, tho. WWX gives in to his desire of telling LWJ he is still there and shows himself. Lots of LWJ thinking he is allucinating, lots of tears, feelings and love declarations. WWX convinces LWJ that he isn’t hallucinating, but sometimes LWJ still thinks he is.

LWJ questions his brother about what is happening outside of the Jingshi (what comes as a surprise, because he has let clear that he didn’t give a damn about what was happening to the cultivation world) and keeps questioning until LXC tells him about the rummous that the Yilling Patriarc is back. LWJ is relieved that he indeed isn’t hallucinating and makes sure to point out that the cultivation world is lucky that WWX doesn’t resent them for what they did to him.

That’s when rummors start about a new Supreme Ghost coming to be and that he is considered a Calamity by the heavenly court, they say that the said Supreme Ghost is WWX and call him Silver Lost-Guiding Moon. Siver moon because of his gentle grey eyes, lost-guiding because he is always guiding lost souls, guiding lost people through the mortal roads and keeping them away from the roads of the ghost realm during Ghost Festivals, and appearing on people’s dreams when they are feeling lost and pray to him for counseling.They say the heavely court considered him a calamity because he gets into their way and interfere on their plans while helping people safe and doesn’t stop even if they demand him to. Some gods tried to make him stop, but failed. They gave up when martial god after martial god went back to the heavenly court beaten up and with threats of having their temples burned and civil god after civil god came back shamed for losing debates. They still remembed very well what Hua Cheng had done and weren’t willing to see if WWX was crazy enough to do the same thing, specially because WWX reminded them too much of HC.

Anything after here would be up to you to create.

(Someone please write it, I’m dying to read a fanfic like this)

Ok, but the real question is: do the Lans have a tan line on their foreheads because of the forehead ribbon or do they take it of for some time a day while under the sun to even out the skin tone?
