@k0mmari I LOVE THE WATCHERS THEY LOOK SO CUTE! Its just all fabric hdjfjkfk 😭
Would you draw Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan sitting together discussing something academic, or maybe a trashy novel?
It might be a bit strange discussing a trashy novel when it’s a trashy novel that you’re from, but I think Shen Qingqiu manages his existentialism pretty well. Unlike Shen Yuan, who has a tendency not to handle things well…
TY for the request!
I keep brainrotting on the idea of Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan being twins and Shen Yuan’s physical body dying as a child when they were at the Qiu estate, but Shen Jiu, in distress, did something that locked Shen Yuan’s soul to his own body. And Shen Yuan has been body sharing with his brother in the background without control for decades until the qi deviation flipped them.
My favourite angst couple dynamics (Unsaid thoughts)
"Am I even worthy of your Love?"
"Is my Love enough for you to stay for?"
...........................
"Ask me to stay for you"
"Please tell me you want to stay"
............................
"You had to have realized by now, How can you not know?"
"I just couldn't let myself hope, it would have been my destruction"
...........................
"My existence is not worth anything"
"I would have no purpose in this world had you not existed"
.........................
"There is nothing for me in this world"
"Take me, my blood, my bones, my everything, until I have nothing else to give"
........................
"My Love is more of a curse than a blessing"
"If you can't bless me with your love, atleast curse me till the end of time"
.....................
"Let me go, I have nothing left to live for"
"All this pain I have endured, just to watch you wither away"
....................
"What about you, who are you in love with, it couldn't possibly be me"
"Love me, even if I know I am asking for the impossible"
....................
"You will never acknowledge our connection, I watch you follow everyone else with your eyes"
"If only I had the courage to tell you, you live in my heart"
....................
"You will break my heart I know, then why can't I let you go"
"Don't forgive me, I don't deserve it"
.....................
"I wish I could be what you deserved"
"Ofc, you wouldn't have wanted me, nobody has ever wanted me"
.................
"I was a selfish person once, now look, i made myself better for you"
"Did I do this to you, did my expectations destroy you too?"
................
"No one can love me, even I can't love myself"
"Let me love you, I would love you enough for the both of us"
...............
"I will destroy you, I corrupt everything I touch"
"I am drowning in my darkness, your touch is my salvation not destruction"
.............
"I always thought the worst of you, turns out all this time I was the one hurting you"
"You, even filled with hatred for me, are my lifejacket in this sea of oblivion"
.............
"I am nothing but an object, a toy, a weapon. No one even sees me as a person"
"Had I been powerful enough, you wouldn't have had to be anything other than yourself"
.............
"Don't let me destroy you, push me away first"
"If you are my end, let me greet destruction like an old friend"
.............
"I would take being born in this world again and again if it means meeting you, even just for the possibility of you, I'd take that chance"
"I would take living in this cruel world forever it means having you, even for a second, i'd take that chance"
.............
"You are the reason of all this pain, not just mine but everybody's. So why, why can't I just hate you"
"Hate me, curse me, destroy me but for all the negativity there is.... don't be indifferent to me"
He leaves you for Shen Qingqiu
tbh i dunno why so many sj apologists are anti-yqy. because like????? he is your mascot. he was the originator. the head honcho of excusing sj's levels of unmitigated villainy. look into my eyes and tell me that qi ge wouldn't blush and kick his feet if he saw xiao jiu commit murder. actually we don't NEED to imagine bc jiumei did just that and yue qi just grabbed his hand and ran, no thoughts head empty. arson? child abuse?? yue qi doesn't care. whatever makes xiao jiu happy <3
In that Qijiu ask, I think you're right about how YQY's shizun must've been extremely detached emotionally, and probably encouraged the same in YQY. I remember what he says during his confession, about how "nobody was willing to actually listen to what I was begging for; nobody was willing to let me out..." That line paints his shizun in a pretty damning light to me.
Yeah. Like, just because YQY doesn’t show his rough edges as SJ does, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have them. Yue Qingyuan to me sometimes gives off the vibes that his rough edges were forcefully sanded down and it hurt.

ueueue.. ilove hnk
a lifetime of happiness
**hnk ch 108 spoilers**
Can't believe it's already been a month since Houseki no Kuni ended... It's been a ride leading up to the finale but I finished the series with tears welling up in my eyes, and a sense of peace. 😭
The ending was hopeful and meaningful— an unexpectedly lovely conclusion for Phos! 🤧 I love the visual metaphor of Phos and the gems being reborn into "The Pure Land", or known as, The Land of the Lustrous, a purified paradise free of materialism and earthly temptations. These delicate gem flowers holding tiny, unique universes, will be eternally brightened by Phos' radiant existence. With the possibility of other universes, I hope that Phos and the others will meet again and lead more fulfilling lives together!! 🛌💭
The way my jaw dropped realizing Ichikawa ended the last chapter on number 108, the Buddhist symbol of overcoming worldly desires and embracing new beginnings to attain nirvana. SO good...😦 The parallel between big brother and Phos, both on self-destructive, morally ambiguous paths for their loved ones/ideals, was a compelling twist. I love them both... 😢 As Aechmea and Adamant hoped, big brother passed on knowing he helped Phos find happiness. 😭 Wailing...
This series has profoundly impacted me more than I imagined, shaping my perspectives on my own values and the world. Despite it coming to an end, we will always stay connected across time and space, just like Phos!!! 🥺🤍
Thank you, Haruko Ichikawa, for creating such a memorable piece of work, and to everyone who has liked my hnk art and commentaries throughout the years! I'll continue loving and drawing the series for as long as I can. 🙇
Oh, sorry, I accidentally posted two same pictures
