silvysartfulness:Local murder gremlin uses tricksy tricks to compensate for disability!Concept that may or may not make it into the Happy SongXueXiao Roadtrip Story down the line. Either way I had to draw it, because the idea of a talisman scroll arm is awesome and wouldn’t leave me alone.Because this is an aspect of Xue Yang that I want to see much more of! Is he a thug? Yes. A crass and murderous little hobo-child who clawed his way up from humble beginnings and never bothered with more than a thin veneer of civility? Absolutely. But he is also technically brilliant.He’s the demonic cultivation equivalent of an all but self-taught inventor and engineer. He re-created the Stygian Tiger Seal when it was destroyed beyond repair by its creator. Made his own puppets and mind-control nails, brought people back from the dead to various degrees, and kept Xiao Xingchen’s body pristine for seven years in a casket lined with talismans.He’s hungry, an ever curious prodigy in a world that despises curiosity, invention and thinking outside the box. It’s little wonder he took to Wei Wuxian’s ideas like a fish to water, and replicated and expanded upon them. Of course he did. They’re parallels in so many ways.Tl;dr - Xue Yang is not just street-smart, he’s brilliant - and he deserves to be recognized for it. -- source link
