they're sleeping, resting, enjoying each other's closeness....
Imagine if the system post-canon let Xiang Fei and Shen Yuan access the internet. They are allowed to use social media and take photos within reason else the system blocks the post from being uploaded.
Shen Yuan posts photos of his paintings, posts his poems, scenery from Qing Jing, writes scathing reviews, musical pieces, catches up on old web novels, ect
Xiang Fei posts new web novels under the same name, better than his old one with Shen Yuan's editing help, binges as much anime as he can, maybe researches indoor plumbing
Maybe the system lets them share it with their husbands, Luo Binghe begs Shen Yuan to post photos of his food too, which Shen Yuan would have been a little too thin faced to eagerly photograph like he wanted until then.
Mobei-Jun creates fancy ice sculptures for Xiang Fei to show off, towering things depicting battle
The pidw fandom is confused, the number one hater neet PeerlessCucumber actually lives like a monk? Like a xianxia made real? A talented artist and scholar with a doting husband that posts divine recipes on his profile with pictures?
AirplaneShootingThroughTheSky has a husband too?? He made that sculpture? Okay it looks sick as hell
If, somehow, Binghe was able to threaten the system into letting Shen Yuan post photos of them as well, the internet would go wild. PeerlessCucumber and his husband are gorgeous? AirplaneShootingThroughTheSky and his husband are too??? They're friends!?
I’ve said before that I originally wanted to write a story of cold-blooded revenge and triumphing over the scum, but for some reason, the outline became more and more miserable. I think that perhaps it was because nobody likes to be hurt, but I have a thing for people with scars. —”Stories only scars can tell.” Back when I was young, I especially loved those who are full of scars and stories, and I thought I could be like them—I’d keep going even as knives cut into my skin, never turning back and never looking down. And when I grew a little older, I was even more in love with them. It was because I discovered that they were even firmer and stronger than I had imagined. I travelled by words, covered in the dust of the journey. Too many things have happened. Too many people have come and gone. No matter the misconceptions, the accusations, or even the impossibly-wounding pain, I’ve encountered them all along the way. But let me borrow a quote from Mr. Wei WuXian, “It’s only another life experience. It’d be a conversation starter when you grow older.” Perhaps when I’m older, I’d fall in love with writing about young, carefree characters. But when the time comes, I hope that it’s not because I miss my past youth, but rather because no matter how many years have passed, no matter when, no matter where, I’ll always be young at heart!

Hey so. That doodle where SQQ has disciple LBH hold his fan for a moment. How about part two ten years later where SQQ paints on a fan to suit his husband‘s aesthetic and gifts it to him so they can be dramatic with fans together?

Binghe would NOT let anyone within a 50 foot radius not know about his fan—singing praises to his shizun for his amazing gift
(Shen Qingqiu, like any artist, is both pleased and embarrassed lmao)
With the new information about the System I’m remembering all the scenes where SQQ argues with the system about point values and it’s just like:
SQQ: stop with all the nonsensical point values! How do you even know how many satisfaction points this gives the protagonist!?
System, who is secretly also LBH: trust me, I know 😏

I thought I'd go through and post the illustrations from one of my old fics-- Lost at Water's Edge by AnxietyIsMyJam
This illustration is from chapter 9, but I thought I'd post it first since its fully colored. I really loved drawing Hualian as mermaids- they're so pretty! Maybe at some point I'll do a redraw.
