X-tober 2022 Masterlist
After a month of drabbles, here comes the final masterlist! Once again, the list is going to be divided between Star Wars and Hannibal.
The previous Masterlists can be found here for 2021 and here for 2020.
it’s just crazy to me when feminist retellings particularly of like ancient or mythological characters manage to have less complex and interesting portrayals of women than the source material. because to be so honest it happens a LOT
Storm (1861) by Ivan Aivazovsky
La ola
Ivan Aivazovsky
I heard it's going to rain again.
I've drawn the blinds and the curtains, drenched my shirt in cold water and turned up the fan. I keep ice cubes in the fridge and I hide from the sun. The flat is dark, in the summer.
It's that type of season.
I change the batteries in my thermometer. I change the water for the cats. I step into the shower in the mornings, and the evenings, and at lunchtime too. My brain slows. My hair has not been dry in weeks. When I step outside, onto the concrete and into the bright sun sitting proudly in that cloudless sky, it is as though she has sat herself, fat and heavy, and oozing, atop my shoulders.
My head. My mouth. My thighs.
I take the weighted blanket off the bed. I take the cover off the blanket. The fan in the corner whirrs and whirrs.
Yesterday, we recorded another record high temperature. We do that every year, it seems.
42 degrees in Central Europe.
Do you remember, when thirty degrees was a lot? Do you remember going out to swim, for ice cream and a laugh, at twenty-five? How long has it been? A decade, maybe.
More, maybe.
I heard it's going to rain again.
The grass is yellow, and brown in patches. There are holes in the leaves of my hibiscus, and my cat presses herself into the wet soil after I've watered the mint. Everything is thirsty nowadays, it seems.
The last storm brought lightning, thunder and wind. It did not rain.
I am not allowed to install an AC in my flat. It might ruin the cityscape, you see. Tourists can't be expected to put up with that. The ambulance sirens are coming closer together. The man who lives in front of the supermarket with his dog empties an entire bottle of water over its back. His skin is red, and reveals, in flakes, even more burnt flesh.
I have a sunburn on my shoulders from the five minutes I spent getting from the store to the heavy metal door that leads to the stairwell - it's never cool, see. It collects cigarette smoke and the scent of onions frying in oil. One side is all glass. There are no windows to open.
My alarm rings at 6am. It's going to heat up now, and I have to close my windows, and draw my blinds and my blackout curtains. The sun sits alone in her cloudless sky.
I heard it's going to rain again.
Y’all.
To my utter surprise and joy, i have reached 1000 followers.
What the fuck y’all? I fucking love you guys.
💖💖💖
Anyway. I feel I should commemorate it or something. So.
I shall do a give-away!
Who wants a free quilt?!
Everyone. Everyone wants a free quilt.
I am even gonna pay shipping (yes even to the states) for you. This will be 100% free to you, you will not have to pay a dime.
How do you enter?
Everyone who reblogs this post will get one entry into the draw.
(Multiple reblogs is still only one entry, sorry 😂)
You don’t even have to be following me.
On August 20, 2026 I will turn off reblogs and put everyone’s names into the draw to pick someone. I’ll DM whoever gets drawn for option selection and shipping details.
Once that’s happened, I will turn the reblogs back on (just so people can keep sharing) and post the winner’s tumblr. If the winner doesn’t want to be perceived, I can just post which quilt was picked.
If, for some reason, I cannot get a hold of the winner after 24 hours, or they decide they don’t want it after all, I will do a second draw and try to contact that person.
Since everyone has a different tastes, I’ve decided to offer up a choice of quilts for the winner to pick from.
Option 1 is a 77”x103” queen size quilt made with a bright floral on a pastel dot background. It also has a soft and thick backing, making the quilt heavy and warm.
Option 2 is a 74”x94” skinny queen quilt in dramatic halloween colours and sugar skulls. The vibrant purple backing is beautiful!
Option 3 is a 89”x89” queen size rainbow stars on black background with a gorgeous teal backing. One of my favourites of all time, honestly.
Option 4 is a 84”x100” queen size space themed quilt with a royal blue backing and gold quilting.
Option 5 is a 85”x92” queen size red and gold chandelier quilt with a fun dark red/orange/pink backing.
Good luck everyone!
Happy International Cat Day 🐈⬛🤍
ce'an's hatred for his courtesy name
crossposting from twt. for context, i was asked: "i would like to know why you think ce'an was given his courtesy name… he mentions that he used to hate it because of what it means and tbh i don't really understand why xfx would give him that name"
i think the more interesting question to ask from an analysis standpoint is why he feels that way about his courtesy name, rather than why he was given that name
i would like to mention tho that the name "lanzhou" includes qi huilian's wish for lanzhou to live free of worries and to overcome the burden he carries. i think it's fair to say that "ce'an", "striving for peace" is also imbued with the wishes of whoever bestowed it to him
maybe it's to wish for cean to achieve peace in war with his capabilities, maybe it's a wish for cean to live a peaceful life...i dont think we have enough context in canon from the person who gave it to him to analyze why they gave him that name
But what's important is that cean took it as a reflection of his time in qudu. chiye, "to ride across the wild", to gallop across the grasslands, to fly along the winds. that's how he lived in libei...he lived with freedom
because he was trapped in qudu, his courtesy name at that time probably felt like a mockery of his situation. strive for peace...it sounds like the opposite of freedom. to be docile, to be obedient. to be unlike who he's supposed to be
unlike "ce'an", "chiye" embodies the HIM that he feels he had lost, the xiao chiye that didn't need to worry about being conquered by desire, but embraced it. because it's human nature to want!! and he was xiao chiye, who was born to run and fly and tame as he so desires
but he did say he hated his courtesy name "back then", which should signify a change yeah....and lanzhou is that change imo. "ce'an" now isn't just a reflection of his cage...it's also where hope lies. hope rises in the midst of struggle yeah....
cean had so much ambition and resentment, but he couldn't put it in the right place because there was no one to hear him out 😭 no one understood exactly how miserable he was, until lanzhou. i like that in this paragraph below, lanzhou was the reflection of the moon that he could touch
the moon was unreachable, but he could make ripples in its reflection. he couldn't fly, but he could tame falcons and reach the sky with their wings. there are so many things that's impossible to do, but would he still be xiao chiye if he let that stop him?
after meeting lanzhou, he is now complete!! he embodies both the limitless ambition of xiao chiye, and also the restraint needed to be xiao cean
I think it's important too to look at the context of why he spoke about hating his courtesy name back then ... because lanzhou was telling him about how he couldn't break free of shen wei's name. as response, cean told him of how he struggled and failed strip libei off himself, because you cant really completely leave such a big part of your identity behind
lanzhou may always be "shen zechuan" whos haunted by his nightmares and continues to have one foot under shen wei's shadow...but from that shadow also came lanzhou. lanzhou, who carries hope for the nightmares to end, who still believes he'll escape the chashi sinkhole
Chapter 181: Ce'an ends with this line
"You may be Shen Wei's son," Xiao Chiye whispered, "but you're mine."
to me, what this line means is that even though they cant get rid of their scars, they will always be there to soothe each other's wounds 😭 they will love each other so much that their hatred of themselves will dissolve until only each other remain OH CEZHOU
And i'm reminded of some of xiao fangxu's last words to him:
"ce'an", "striving for peace"...i think by now he understands that sometimes ambition is not enough to achieve what you want...yes it's important and he shouldn't abandon that. but he had to learn to make way and give up certain things to hone that ambition into action
saw a post letting people know that your ao3 bookmarks are viewable on your account unless you make them private, which suggests that the median ao3 user does not use ao3 in what i will call 'the optimum fic-finding treadmill' where you find a fic author you like and look through their bookmarks to find more fics that are good and then look through that author's bookmarks for even more good fics. like a conga line of great but extremely specific tastes. or one of those chessboard rice doubling analogies and oh no that is a LOT of ao3 tabs.

Чудесные Цэчжоу из новеллы "Поднося Вино". Очень мне нравится результат. Арт стоит вложенных в него сил.
Hiii I read a post a while back on your blog (I thought) that was a list of racist traits in depictions of ethnic minorities in Chinese fiction but I can't find it anywhere. Did I hallucinate it? Does this ring a bell at all? Thank you!!!
sorry anon, I think I too have a vague impression of this particular post, that I might have reblogged. But a quick scan of the #chinese tag doesn't really find me anything so I must have forgotten to tag it.
I think this is the post anon was thinking of.
