NOOOOOOOO i really posted this at the worst time 😭😭😭

HEHEHE ❤️❤️🫶 I had a lot of fun trying to design their piratey outfits (especially XL’s thigh holster 🥵)

This was the goal agshdjfjgjg (my dedication to hualian looking sappy and in love maybe kept me from going full over the top steamy romance)

Torn between imagining it whipping in the wind directly into HC’s face or imagining it wrapped around HC’s fist while he *redacted*

bluesky pleasepleaseplease let me edit posts… i can never remember to use hashtags 😔

Digital illustration of Hualian standing on a pirate ship, staring lovingly into each other’s eyes. There’s a large wave cresting behind Hua Cheng, and the sky is a soft pink sunset.

FINALLY finished my fanart for “Call of the Sea” by the incredible @gabzjones.bsky.social !!!

If you haven’t read it yet, I HIGHLY recommend! (🔗 below!)

this is so funny because i was honestly feeling a little nervous saying i wasn’t a big fan of his donghua design LOL

YESS It should be frizzing and growing when he uses his powers like a ghibli character (OR like so pin straight and sleek that it also makes interesting dynamic shapes)

It’s such a weird choice given the red eye being so important to his history 😭

my attachment to my own hualian definitely gets in my way of finally watching the donghua 😭😭 i can’t help it i’m sorry i will eventually get over myself

Screenshot of Hua Cheng from the new 3rd Donghua “short film”

i need to confess something… every time i see donghua HC i ask myself where his nose is

so here’s my 10 minute attempt to make him closer to my version (also why do they make his eye red… it IRKS ME)

The sheerness of XL’s wet robes 😳 (this is soooo good!!!)

Awkward...

he’s so good at getting himself into cringe situations of his own making

Hehe thanks Gem!!!!

And HC can’t stop thinking about them, the way the golden hour sun hit the curve of XL’s ass– BUT WHO WAS GEGE TAKING NUDES FOR??!!!

XL asks HC to do something on his phone while his hands are dirty and HC accidentally opens the photo album to find like 10 nudes of various levels of blurriness (one capturing the moment the phone tipped over off whatever it had been propped on)

Hehe thanks David!!! And I agree 😩 it hits EVERY time

HC experiencing constantly fluctuating levels of confidence is sooooo funny to me asgdjfjf

Ahh thanks Echo!!!! Drawing HC’s tattoos is always one of my favorite parts of doing modern AU shenanigans hehehe

hehehe thanks Charis!!!! I’ll admit I keep looking at pouty XL he’s so jealous and cute

The concept of Hua Cheng having a secret beauty mark underneath his eyepatch makes me so crazy

He will be stewing over this mystery ALL NIGHT

Digital art showing a text conversation between hualian, where Hua Cheng has accidentally sent Xie Lian a nude photo. He’s naked and smirking at the camera, one hand holding his dick. Underneath the photo is a drawing of Xie Lian with wide eyes and a blushing face. Texts from Xie Lian read: *keysmash* — Sorry! — San Lan looks very nice haha

Continuation of last panel. There’s a text conversation in the center, with drawings of Hua Cheng on the left and Xie Lian on the right. Hua Cheng is kneeling on the floor gripping his head, with the words “KILL ME NOW” above him. Xie Lian is sitting curled up, face red and pouting at his phone, a thought bubble next to him reading “Who did San Lang mean to send it to then? >:(“ The text conversation reads Hua Cheng: -Shit Gege -Please ignore that -I didn’t mean to send you that I’m sorry. Xie Lian: -Sure San Lang :-)

This might have been an accident, but why was Hua Cheng smirking at the camera like that in the first place? 🤔

For #hualianHappyHour texting “wrong number” prompt

it’s definitely easier to think up situations where HC might take/send nudes than for XL hahaha

BF once again found me zoomed in drawing HC’s cock 😓

YESSSS this is pretty much the exact concept ahshfjkf (also a very good fic hehehe)

that is EXACTLY what i’m imagining 😭🙏🙏 l

Ok quick should it be xie lian or hua cheng that accidentally sends the nude to the wrong number
