Tender Moment (art by me)

What can I say? I just wanted to see my favorite Nine Sols ship be a happy wholesome family together! I will say, though, drawing this made me realize these two look pretty different without their headdresses and makeup and such!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Thought about sharing this doodle I had in the works for Feng Friday, but I decided it'd make a nice little drawing for the holiday! I honestly really enjoy imagining fanchildren/family scenarios for my favorite ships in general, but have been too shy to ever draw any of my ideas out thus far. I feel like this was a fun change of pace, and a nice start towards expressing those ideas!

Happy Mother's Day!

P.S. I think I might start referring to Fuxi x Nuwa fanchildren as "Fenglets".

Hello everyone! Ever since I finished Nine Sols's true ending for the first time, I've been a bit conflicted about how I've seen its themes interpreted. I've been trying to put together an essay of sorts in an effort to make a strong case about the ideas I've been considering.

I'm considering eventually making a post on the subject here. So far, I've typed out roughly 9-10 pages (4000+ words) of paragraphs. However, there are probably ways to make my points stronger yet more succinct. Though I've read other posts here suggesting possible issues with the game's true ending, I don't remember seeing anyone describe my main point about it so far, so I'm honestly not even sure if my concern is reasonable or if I'm just misremembering details from the game. Thus, I'd especially appreciate someone who could review my stance as a whole. Plus, I generally find it useful to get early feedback to improve my written pieces anyway.

Are there any players/fans out there familiar with the true ending of Nine Sols and how its themes are often interpreted (particularly regarding the idea of death being an inevitable part of life and how this relates to the end of Solarian civilization) who'd be willing to give some input and feedback on what I've wrote so far?

Happy Feng Friday! Although maybe not so happy for whoever the unfortunate victim was...

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Anyway, here's a touched-up sketch I made a few weeks ago!

I don't know about you guys, but I've come to see Fuxi as the kind of guy who can, will, and has gotten blood on his hands to protect and advance the Feng clan. I mean, given the canon implications that the Fengs have been up to some shady business, he likely doesn't have an issue with allowing other members of the clan to use more "extreme" measures at the least, if it wasn't that he himself was responsible for said shady business decisions as the clan's leader. He may keep quiet and let Nuwa do most of the talking in public, and he may have an artistic and romantic side that he lets out on stage, but it'd be a grave mistake to take him as dull, shy, or weak based on that. He's like a great serpent, keeping careful watch and biding his time for the perfect moment to strike...

Also a headcanon: before he got mutated, I imagine Fuxi's zhu was sturdy and well-built enough that it could double up as a blunt-force weapon when needed. I just think it's kinda cool/funny to imagine him making music one moment and then slapping someone with his instrument the next without missing a beat, like those images of people using guitars as weapons. Plus, with Nuwa's crazy snake-construct-summoning flute, I like the idea that Fuxi's musical instrument has at least some kind of offensive utility as well, even in his normal state. Whatever the case though, I imagine Fuxi's instrument wouldn't be quite as powerful as Nuwa's in terms of sheer damage-dealing potential, since unlike Nuwa, he's athletic enough that he can actually fight with other weapons or even his bare hands if necessary. And I get the feeling this dynamic would add to my personal idea of there being sexual dimorphism between the two in some way or another, though I'm not sure how to describe it yet.

Regardless, hope you enjoy!
