As head mod, I’m obligated to kidnap you and make you appreciate this zine~ And as a writer in the zine, GO READ MY PIECE, SO I CAN COLLECT TEARS It was absolutely amazing working with everyone and seeing the final pieces come together so beautifully~

This is my piece for the Liu Yao Zine! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to draw my mermen AU 🤗💙 Check out all the other works as well, they're amazing! #六爻

Here's my piece -😅 #FranceArt #六爻

Hello, hello! I’m thrilled to announce the release of our Liu Yao Zine, Return to Trueness! Our gorgeous cover art was by the one and only @mayaismean.bsky.social! You can read our zine and check out the merch here: drive.google.com/drive/folder... And with that, this is Mod Moons signing out!

Introducing our final contributor, @HelenKordArt (twitter), who’s taking on the role of both merch and page artist! My deepest respect to anyone with that type of range😌

A moderator who’s doubling as a writer, please welcome @maiya114.bsky.social! Also get your tissues ready, we have another angst-lover on our hands 🥹

If you’ve ever checked the Liu Yao tag on Ao3, you’ll definitely know @rianzi.bsky.social~ It’ll be hard to find someone else who writes our Liu Yao kids as well as her!

A very underrated writer in this (and many other) fandom! I’m pleased to introduce our other angst lover, @akusemophase (twitter)! (I may or may not have cried to several of her fics 🥹)

I think…oh yes, another merch artist spotted! *grabs* Say hello to @UPONIA_ (twitter), they do indeed love chibis and I do indeed love their chibis~!

Please give a round of applause for Al, our very own angst expert @bitterchoco_000 (twitter)! Her art will have you either madly in love or crying on your knees! (*ahem* this is totally not from experience🤡)

Those who haven’t heard the name @matchasakura2.bsky.social have definitely been missing out~ As you youngin’s say, their art is peak👌

Say hello to @xMomokai (twitter) as a merch artist! I think half of my brainpower is constantly spent giggling over Liss’s pretty artwork🤤

Today, we are saying hello to ssnapdragoon (tumblr)~! *looks at art* Sorry, I think I forgot what words are, we were blessed with a whole meal?!

I’m excited to introduce @rezzyfa.bsky.social as a page artist on Return to Trueness! Now if you excuse me, I’ll be taking a bite of their art~

Another delightful page artist to introduce today! Say hello to @xandria032.bsky.social~ Isn’t their lighting just *chef’s kiss*?

Another page artist (who is also on as a mod) to introduce, @readliuyao.bsky.social! Just one question, how long did that art take you?!

Introducinggggg (drumroll, please)… @peripattie.bsky.social as a page artist! Their color compositions are going to blow y’all out of the water!

If you haven’t seen @nekoningart.bsky.social’s art, where have you been?! Very thankful to have him on the zine as a page artist!

*Throws out @lenateliier.bsky.social gently*, we have another page artist on hand! I can safely confirm, we will have found family~

I’m happy to introduce a lovely guest page artist, Lalalu! I’m on my knees for their art, which you can find on their instagram @qxillnn!!

Introducing @katneko.bsky.social as a page artist! Can’t wait for everyone to see their art in the zine! 🤭

Greeting @prxmytheus.bsky.social as a page artist! His art for Return to Trueness….really does make me tear up, every Liu Yao fan loves this scene, hehe! Keep an eye out for it!

What a wonderful surprise it is to introduce @fancywords2 (twitter) as a contributor! A moderator AND they can draw?? Alright, bud, where was my healthy scoop of talent 🤨

Welcome, @paperpomme.bsky.social! Glad to have you on board our tiny but mighty ship and we can’t wait to see what you do as a page artist!

Say hello to our lovely page artist, @akairt.bsky.social! I think, and I may be wrong here, but she seems to be a fan of drawing HuaLian? Black Water arc, who…

Hello and welcome to today’s contributor introduction! I’m please to announce @xinaeryn.bsky.social as a page artist for Return to Trueness! Doesn’t her art just scream glamour?✨

To start off our individual contributors, we’re beginning strong with our dear cover artist, mayaismean (twitter)! Raise your glasses because her incredible cover will amaze all of you~!

Hello, hello! It’s certainly been a while since our last post but without further ado, I bring you our contributors lineups! (And if you’re seeing this post twice….never mind that :D)

✨MOD INTRO✨ Heyyyyyy, how y'all doing? C'est moi, the one, the only, THE LEGENDARY MOONS!! I've been your social media mod for....way too many months, I'm slowly losing any media training I've had (none😀).

✨MOD INTRO✨ Ernham. Kern. 🙄 I call them Sec. For Secretary. They do their job. I don’t know how well. But it gets done. Entertaining to watch them fight Maiya. Not entertaining when they fight me. 2/10, I fw their merch buying tendencies.

✨MOD INTRO ✨ Today we have our other Art Mod, Alex! Alex: “Alex here, rock eater, avid sleeper. If I am not lying at the bottom of the barrel, I will reply….maybe.” Me: “….did I head canon this too hard or do you actually speak in the most jaded, apathetic tone possible LMFAO.”

✨MOD INTRO✨ Welcome one of our Art Mods, France! France, heyyyyy. You should totally slide me early sneak peaks of the artworks— France? France, where are you going?

✨MOD INTRO✨ Say hello to one of our Writing Mods, treescape! From being an emissary of wisdom to saving my ass (please keep telling Maiya that I AM on top of my work), our writing mod has their hands full! Find them at: @dreaminglilacs (twt), treescape (tumblr)

✨MOD INTRO✨ Today, I bring you our other Graphic Mod, Lalalu! The gorgeous banner of the Liu Yao characters in their animals forms is by them! Find them at: @qxillnn (Instagram)

✨MOD INTRO✨ Give it up for one of our Graphic Mods, Al! ....And now watch me walk away with their art. Al...never stop drawing for goodness's sake; I'm going to eat your art one day, mark my words. Find them at: @bitterchoco_000 (twt)

✨MOD INTRO✨ Hey, hey! Next up is our (second kidnapper) Co-Head Mod, Pau! From moderating the Priest Major Arcana Zine to moderating the Liu Yao Zine...this one is either addicted to Priest or allergic to big fandoms.😭 Find them at: @readliuyao (twt)

✨MOD INTROS✨ hello, hello! It's that time where I exit my hibernation again! We're beginning our Mod Intros and starting off strong with none other than our beloved Head Mod! (she kidnapped us) Meet Maiya, who started this project out of sheer desperation for content! (we love her, trust)
