I’m trying to do a thing where every Saturday, I make a brief post about what fandom stuff is on my mind at the moment. Since I’m not sworn to a specific fandom right now, I thought it would be interesting to see what the range of things is that I feel fannish about! (This is where the inward-looking-diary aspect of this blog becomes a thing.) These will probably be shorter, even less substantial posts than usual, and might even just be a capslocked sentence or two, not necessarily reflecting what I think the most often about– just what I happen to be thinking about right then.As promised, here is a warning: the tag for this is going to be saturday night fever check, so please block as needed! You won’t be missing much, since these might be about rather obscure fandoms or fandoms that aren’t even fandoms at all. Thank you for your patience! :’)Today I’m idly sketching some Romance of the Three Kingdoms stuff. I go on a maaajor kick with this canon every time I go back home, and it hasn’t worn off yet (not that it ever really wears off). I think it’s because it’s a story I first came to in my mother tongue, and I don’t quite know how to navigate it in English– something about being back home plunges me into those waters again. Even in the midst of skyscrapers blocking out the mountains, I start thinking of the full wet moon, the lazy unfurling of steam from green tea, the smell of an ink stick slowly ground into the inkstone. But my English makes it all sound so exotic, and I don’t know if I’ll ever learn to say it the way I mean to say it. Still– if I had the power to magically recruit people to fandoms, I’m pretty sure I’d drag everyone to this one (primarily because it’s much easier for people to find their own way to everything else I love).Well, at any rate, here are Kongming and Zilong, the dragons of Shu. Ugh I love them SO MUCH.
