![]() ![]() Even though it has been - months? a year? - the lanterns in the tunnel are still lit. Jinyan smiles as his fingers unhook the latch that leads to the old hidden door. There has been no need or desire to go to visit his old manor house - until now. He is the Crown Prince of the East Palace now, and his duties fill his days. It has been a long time since Jingyan has been here. Jingyan :(Ĭharacters: Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su Zhe, Xiao JingyanĪdditional Tags: Angst, Reference to character death, yet another reaction to ending type of fic, Dreaming, Ficlet I finished this not knowing if this way was better or worse but definitely knowing that I’d been well and truly stabbed. This fic sets out events slightly different to how they are implied in canon, but it is canon compliant in all the most important ways. Or: Prompt #77 “Mei Changsu dies in Jingyan’s arms.” “And you’ll be here to watch me do it,” Jingyan reminds him. “You’ll do great things…create a Da Liang that we can all be proud of.” “You’ll make a great Emperor one day, Jingyan,” he murmurs.

But it is so beautiful, and painful, and satisfying somehow like - of course it would hurt exactly THIS much, and in THIS way. Reading this fic is like stabbing yourself over and over again. Lin Chen and Mei Changsu talk about love without ever using the word. Relationships: Lin Chen/ Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su ZheĪdditional Tags: Minor Canonical Character(s), Meiling, Canon Compliant This fic took me by the hand and said “you think you already love Meng Zhi and know what it did to him to have to watch his friend die? let me show you.” The cold is a character in its own right, it permeates the fic, hangs over everything. This fic sliced my heart open, its Meng struggling to come to terms with the fact that Xiao Shu is dying, Meng struggling to win the war, and the cold. It’s basically ten thousand some-odd words of Meng-feels, Meng&Lin Shu bromance, and the slow breaking of a man’s heart as he watches his best friend die. Meng spends a cold winter caught in a war with two fronts–the Greater Yu army on one front, and a dying strategist on the other. He says to himself, “Mei Changsu is the cost,” and then covers his mouth with his hand, the scales of his gauntlet pricking at his skin. I don’t know how he will travel back to Jinling, and then writes, With Mei Changsu’s assistance, we will win this war quickly and with lower costs than anticipated. He silently mouths to himself, He can no longer ride a horse. His insights have led to profitable battles with low casualty rates. He writes, Mei Changsu is a skilled tactician. He writes about his generals, his lieutenants, and his captains. He writes about the snow, how it drifts in the valleys and low places, how it melts beneath the sun and freezes again during the night. He writes about the skirmishes that lead to battles and the battles that lead to stalemates. Summary: Meng’s messages to Jinling and Jingyan are short and carefully edited.

Over the past several seasons, our team simply has not lived up to that standard, so today, we will begin to chart a new path forward under a new leadership structure for Hockey Operations," Flyers Chairman Dave Scott said.īriere, who helped the Flyers to their last Stanley Cup appearance in 2010 when they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks, was promoted last year from his player development role to special assistant to the GM. “The Philadelphia Flyers organization has always been defined by grit, determination, and a standard of excellence. Philadelphia is 24-30-11 this season under first-year coach John Tortorella and set to miss the playoffs for the third straight season. The Flyers, who had just one playoff berth in Fletcher’s tenure, play Saturday in Pittsburgh. The Flyers went 141-145-43 under Fletcher. Maybe he'll have a concrete plan for a rebuild - which could involve more lean seasons - that Fletcher did not express over his 4 1/2 seasons on the job. Briere, who served as special assistant to the GM, is considered a rising star in the front office. The team promoted franchise great Danny Briere to the interim general manager role, the latest front-office shakeup for an organization that has not won a Stanley Cup since 1975. I think that for the Drake Kraken, receiving feedback was a big turning point in the overall quality and I cannot express enough the importance of getting feedback from wherever and whoever you can get it from.PHILADELPHIA (AP) - With the Philadelphia Flyers in need of a complete franchise overhaul, Chuck Fletcher called the shots at the NHL trade deadline and came up empty.Ī day later, the Flyers sent Fletcher to represent the team at a town hall meeting for season-ticket holders, where he was about booed off the stage.Ī series of bad contracts, unfortunate injuries, sagging attendance and one of the worst records in the NHL ultimately doomed Fletcher, whom the Flyers fired Friday from his position as general manager and president of hockey operations. Everyone was extremely nice and receptive and the feedback was awesome. While I had joined DiNusty before I never really decided to be a part of the community and I feel that’s one of the most important parts of getting good feedback.Īfter a couple of weeks of hanging out in the Beyond Extent discord I finally decided it was time to ask for feedback on the Drake Kraken. There are a ton of discord communities dedicated to 3D out there now, some of the most notable ones are DiNusty and Experience Points. I just knew that there was something wrong.Įventually, I stumbled across the Beyond Extent community which is a discord dedicated to 3D Environment art. ![]() Sadly, I couldn’t find what was wrong with it no matter how many adjustments I would make to it. ![]() While everything was looking okay, I kept feeling that something was missing. When I initially started this project I was only getting feedback from one person. I know it’s a bit of a cliche to bring up the importance of feedback but I feel like my project really exemplifies how important feedback truly is. I’m a huge fan of Star Citizen and automatically knew that taking in-game screenshots of other ships manufactured by Drake would be incredibly important in helping me have the same art style throughout my environment. Doing a draw over saves a lot of time and I think that without it I would have never finished this project as it really was daunting to me.Īfter my drawover the next step was to gather as much reference as I possibly could. As the concept is from Star Citizen, it was easy to determine that most of it could be modular, but in this case, it really helped me determine what needed to be unique and what places were missing from the concept that I would have to create since I wanted to do a flythrough. After I had broken the concept into smaller pieces, I then determined what pieces were unique and what pieces could be modular. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed when first creating an environment since there are so many aspects and I believe that breaking it up into smaller pieces helped me focus on what needed to be done easier. First when doing a draw over, I try to break up the environment into smaller pieces so that it’s easier for me to understand and I become less overwhelmed. The very first thing I did when I started working on the Kraken was to do a draw over on the concept art made by Sarah MCculloch. ![]() |
