A Simple Late Night Aesthetic

Color is difficult sometimes

More rants~

Ok so I had this thought and maybe I’m on to something, maybe I’m not.

So remember this panel:

Mo calls out for his dad during what seems to be the destruction of their restaurant and maybe the attemptted kidnapping of baby Mo? (Or just someone trying to hurt him I dunno) either way. Mo calls out for is dad and immediately his dad comes and Randy Ortons this guy through a table to save Mo. Little Mo had that sense of physical security with his father.

With his mother he still had that sense of security but it was mostly like emotional:

Especially in that one panel with baby She Li (I would find it but I’m too lazy) where she’s trying to calm Mo down and telling him it will stop hurting soon. I think as a kid Mo felt physically protected by his mother but eventually when he started to grow he realized that he had to protect his mom. So he was never really able to have that sense of security (thus he got so callous and distant from everyone). I think Mo just thought that he was on his own but deep down he was probably still scared out of his mind.

So when he met She Li he was like “hey you’re a good source of protection because you have so many people who look out for each other.” Naively, Mo probably would have joined the gang for that purpose, to be safe. And maybe somewhere along the line She Li did actually save him from someone trying to hurt/take him again (not because he actually cared but because he wanted something from Mo). And maybe that’s why he joined, I’m not sure. But this would explain why She Li is always has that “I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition” vibe going on:

BBBBUUUUTTTTT then Mo met He Tian. And at first he tian was a jerk and just another person trying to take advantage of Mo (like with the whole kiss thing with the water bottle). But then the relationship started to evolve. I think when He Tian actually did physically protect Mo is when the scales in Mo’s mind started tipping.

Now Mo actually has friends and He Tian to protect him. He finally found what he wanted all along. That group of people who are looking out for each other.

ANNYYWWAAAYYYYYYY if you’ve read this far thanks for listening to my horribly long rant!

Hey my name is Troy and I got a *19 days fans burst through the ceiling* UPDATE TOMORROW!!!

(If you know you know)

Not Mo kicking this guy in the nuts. Like look at the angle of his knee and foot in comparison to how the guys legs are positioned. That foot has been express mailed to the crotch

No to zoom in on Mo’s ass like this but is that She Li??

Also on that bike ride there was this beautiful sunset that cast a golden/pinkish glare on everything. It was soooo pretty. Probably one of the prettiest sunset I’ve seen in a while. I tried to get some pictures of it XD

OK BUT LIKE THEIR EYES

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the contrast of their eyes. First panel is more on He Tian’s and the second is more on She Li’s.

How She Li’s look crazy and almost animal-like. Unpredictable and wild. Like he’s a hyena looking at a dead carcus. While He Tian’s look more like stone. They’re fixed and deadly. More so unreadable than anything else. Like smoke.

I absolutely love the work that Old puts into these updates. Just the artistic progress and effort that each panel has is amazing to me. Let alone the plot and how both (plot and art) work so well together to help emphasize the other. It’s so amazing to me.

Ok artist rant over

Happy 4th of July!

(Also this picture is super pretty to me and I’ll probably draw something to do with it later)

Thinking about doing a story about the seven deadly sins as people.... any interest?

Tianshan Fluff

Imagine He Tian waking up in the morning to random music and singing coming from in his kitchen and going to investigate. Him seeing Mo GuanShan making breakfast while dancing and singing to a song (like stupid dancing and singing. Being a total goof singing along to some obscure pop/alternative song). And he tian standing in the door way with his head leaning against it just watching his little Mo have the time of his life being able to actually move around and stuff in this big kitchen. And mo not noticing him at all so when the softer part of the song comes He Tian sings it with Mo and it’s like this cute/awkward moment. Also He Tian has a really nice voice and Mo doesn’t know what to do about it

I’ve had this head cannon for a really long time and I wanna try to draw it (???) or something but for right now this is what I’m thinking of and I feel like the fandom needs this fluff XD
