Quick Post
Dec. 24th, 2021 04:24 pmJust a quick post before Yuletide opens!
First, my most recent![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
recthething recs for art (Classic Doctor Who, Captain America and MDZS)
Two Classic Who sketches by atarial:- Two and Four (amazing)
Captain America - artist’s model pre-serum Steve and his model, Bucky. (gorgeous)
MDZS/The Untamed - was feeling sad tonight….so have some wangxian hugs (so tender and sweet)
two vids (Nirvana in Fire and Word of Honor)
This is War - Word of Honor (incredible Word of Honor vid, spoilery for the entire plot, youtube link)
Vid: Secret by sandalwoodbox. Summary: No-one keeps a secret. (Amazing Nirvana in Fire vid, AO3 link)
and several Untamed/MDZS fics
Tether by WithBroomBefore (40k)
Summary Snippet: Wei Wuxian tells the truth, sort of. AU diverging when Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji find Wei Wuxian in episode 20. (really interesting canon divergent fic)
found your writing on my wall by howodd5ever (25k)
Summary Snippet: In which Wei Wuxian is cursed, Lan Wangji is protective, and Jiang Cheng is tired. All three of them have to learn how to deal with each other in the aftermath. (really sweet with alternating POVs of JC and LWJ as the two of them spend time with kid!WWX and learn to get along)
smiles like flowers on the altar of the heart by cl410 (1.6k)
Summary: A smile spread across his husband’s face, sly and impish. Wei Ying lifted a hand to inspect the two bottles of Emperor’s Smile dangling from his grip. He shifted in place, and the sword in his hand caught the glint of moonlight with a bright flash. Lan Zhan’s breath caught, and he understood. This was an invitation. A repeat of history, of sorts, of a night that Lan Zhan would never forget. Except this one would be without the tragic ending-- one in which he would return to the jingshi with his husband, where they shared a life together. It took a moment for him to find his voice. (short but utterly delightful)
Also wanted to share a neat site I found where someone translates Chinese poetry and does a complete breakdown of each line with the original Chinese, the pinyin, the word for word translation and then a poetic translation so they end up looking like this:
幽意無斷絕，
Yōu yì wú duàn jué,
[secluded] [thought] [not have] [sever] [cut]
Secluded thoughts are without end
(The first line of Spring Drifting on Ruoye Creek)
And also to share the excellent news that viki.com has put Nirvana in Fire back up in most regions (and that it's an unedited version! All the flashback scenes are included) which is very exciting! I may do a rewatch to celebrate.
