Quote with your purple art 💜
The artwork shows musicians sitting in shallow water in a purple room. First musician plays wooden drums, second one plays erhu, third one plays a flute, fourth one plays a gong. All background musicians wear either pots or plates on their heads. The woman in the center has black hair and plays an instrument inspired by Korean instrument called gayageum. There are three purple goldfish floating above the ground. The wall in the background is decorated with arches with stained glass and there's a big flower pot with purple cornflowers. The room also has some arches with silk fabric hanging on them. The artwork is purple with some green details.

✨✨✨ Fansplaining's 2025 year in review! ✨✨✨

Over on Tumblr, a few thoughts about the (bleak) state of cultural—and especially fandom-related—coverage in the mainstream media, followed by a full rundown of the fantastic writing we've been able to publish this year: www.tumblr.com/fansplaining...
Composite of six images from Fansplaining pieces. Top row: Starsky and Hutch sitting next to each other, Kate Sharma from Bridgerton standing on stairs beside a corgi, the Kpop Demon Hunters trio talking to a trio of fans. Bottom row: Oh Hyun-ji playing the gayageum, a drawing of a figure climbing into many computer windows depicting roleplaying chats and fanart, and Sam Wilson as Captain America.

QRP to reintroduce yourself!

Hi, I'm Anya, a fantasy illustrator with love for patterns and complex scenes. I draw inspiration from films and historical themes and love creating different worlds and stories with each piece.
The artwork shows a ceremony on a patio. There's a round pool in the center of the image and a round arch in the background. Sisters of the convent are placed in different locations performing different parts of the ritual. Half of them wear a peacock mask and half of them wear sun-like headpieces. There's a woman in the center on the horse. She wears a blue dress decorated with mosaic-like patterns. The horse is covered with blue patterns and stands still above the water. Two twins are sitting on the floor surrounded by large lilies. Behind them one sister plays a harp and another one is holding two bowls with mysterious light. There's a big mosaic tree in the background with other sisters dancing around it. There are two other sisters on top of the wall waving scarves. The artwork is mostly blue and light green The artwork shows musicians sitting in shallow water in a purple room. First musician plays wooden drums, second one plays erhu, third one plays a flute, fourth one plays a gong. All background musicians wear either pots or plates on their heads. The woman in the center has black hair and plays an instrument inspired by Korean instrument called gayageum. There are three purple goldfish floating above the ground. The wall in the background is decorated with arches with stained glass and there's a big flower pot with purple cornflowers. The room also has some arches with silk fabric hanging on them. The artwork is purple with some green details. The image shows a scene on a terrace. A woman in a long orange dress is offering a big orange to a mystical peacock-like bird seated on a side of an arch. The terrace is decorated with patterned tiles and chrysanthemum flowers. There are some oranges scattered around the floor and inside a large green bowl. There's a leopard laying on the right side of the composition. There are buildings in the background, hanged fabric, lanterns, some herons and plants. "Angel's Whisper". The image shows a room decorated with tiles and murals with a pool in the foreground. There's a queen sitting in on the throne in the center of the image. There's an angel standing next to her closely. There are two white peacocks in the room and two swans swimming in the pool. The artwork is mostly grey-blue.

Lo que pasa es que con Byungki Hwang tocando el gayageum a mí me dan ganas de llorar!

Me parecen preciosas estas piezas (y me recuerdan mucho a la música de guqin).

Btw, according to the famously reliable (😅) Google Ai, Lee Hanee apparently once played the gayageum in a 2017 historical drama called #TheRebel (where her character is a famous gisaeng called Jang Nok-su)

I haven’t fact checked this though

I really loved this #kDrama - though it STILL irks me that the lead actor, who graduated from SNU(!) with a degree in Korean classical music and has played the gayageum at the UN, has yet to show off her skills in any Drama.

Kdrama Challenge moment of revenge. As Knight Flower's FL, Lee Ha Nee suffers the fate of a grieving widow. At night she dons a disguise, wields a sword defending the poor. The culprit responsible for her situation is taken down as he confesses his crimes to the King. See this before it leaves Viki

Not sure ‘ding ding’ would be the SFX to use for a stringed instrument like a gayageum... Maybe ‘tang’ or ‘twang’ or even just ‘strum’. 🤔 #TheAlluringTaleOfMong-ryong #AMushroomEdits

Going with a whole class: strings. Pluck, struck, bowed.

Could be a piano, vihuela, gayageum, cello, erhu, harp, dulcimer, etc…. Strings.
