"You love him? You met him Sunday! It's barely Thursday morning."

That quote is me judging my entire MDZS BB story.

(It's still going great btw. :nods emphatically:)

What's your word?

I got "spot"

Are they supposed to be displayed like that, cuddled up together?

Backgrounds: ....um, clearly not?

Me: YES. THEY ARE. THAT IS EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE MEANT TO BE.

To answer asks about how to get these:

-JGY can still be had from a few online stores (CQLDerivs and 42shops).

-LXC is no longer available; I found him on Mercari.

astrinde

ALERT: A seller just posted a set on Mercari! They are listed in "fair" condition, for a few minor cosmetic flaws that are clearly described and shown in the photographs.

Shop smarter: Official Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao figure pair action figures, 11% off from verified 5-star seller. Fair condition.

#not sure why i've made it my personal mission to connect xiyao fans with these little figures #but they're SO KYOOT #public service announcement

why is he looking at lxc with such longing omg they literally met five minutes ago 😭😭😭

#it's bc it was love at first sight amiright <3 #<--prev #they spent an entire week together in that twenty seconds of eye contact #and now my is leaving gusu with the same lovesick expression i make whenever ao3 goes down #also i thought that people lighting up and “twinkling” was just a fanciful phrase used for effect in novels #then i saw lan xichen greet meng yao and realised that people actually do that #lxc is basically surrounded by glitter hearts until “farewell?” and then they are sad glitter hearts but still sparkly #there are “bedroom eyes” and then there are “wed for seven lifetimes” eyes and i'm pretty sure it's the latter in every interaction #love them so much

mdzs big bang is going great, thanks for asking. :P

#just totally normal writer things #this comes on the heels of breaking a tooth and breaking a glass straw #getting the weekend off to a fabulous start #writing struggles #or is it writing opportunities?

I designed the Cascadian flag, aka the Doug, way back in the mid-1990s when I was a graduate student studying in Eastern Europe. Though I totally love the people, cultures and landscape of Eastern Europe, I was deeply homesick for the forests of Cascadia, specifically the Willamette Valley forests I grew up around. One day as I sat on a hill with my companion, I had this vision of a flag where the Cascadian landscape came to mind. Prior to the design and its popularity, the idea of Cascadia–specifically the bioregion–was pretty much an abstract concept reserved for radical geographers and hip sociologists. The flag conveys something far more tangible than an abstract concept of demarcation of space; the flag captures that love of living communities in our bioregion. Unlike many flags, this is not a flag of blood, nor of the glory of a nation, but a love of the bioregion; our ecological family and its natural boundaries; the place in which we live and love.

- Alexander Baretich, Designer of the Doug Flag

Leslie Cheung for City Magazine （號外） 184th Issue

(Dec. 1991 - Jan. 1992)

“張國榮為了能成功爭取程蝶衣的角色，故意替《號外》雜誌拍了一輯青衣造型的圖片，藉以顯示自己【女性造型】的可塑性與可信性.”

—

“To secure the role of Cheng Dieyi, Leslie Cheung purposely shot a series of photos in female Qingyi opera costumes for City Magazine, aiming to demonstrate his plasticity and credibility in portraying female characters.”

(words extracted from Butterly of Forbidden Colors: The Artistic Image of Leslie Cheung. 禁色的蝴蝶：張國榮的藝術形象 P50 — written by 洛楓, 2008)

You know, I get being too tired to cook, but restaurants exist for a reason.

Anyway, I hope that everyone had a lovely Mother's Day and that nobody received a gift from this Whole Foods display.

#tell her you love her with rawhide chews #there's even taurine to keep mom's coat glossy #“hey sis? i'm at whole foods and i can't remember: does mom prefer gravies or shreds?”#(seriously whole foods wtf)#whole foods #mother's day

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

supapoopa

What a time to be alive.

tenthcorner

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

kineticpenguin

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

brunhiddensmusings

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

stephendann

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

fromaliminalspace

a rough translation of inscription on the runestone:

On the seventh day of May in the year of 2016 on hither spot the mighty warrior Ulf hath slain a dragon with his spear.

so yeah, happy birthday to this dragon-slaying event and to it only

Happy Ulf Hath Slain A Dragon With His Spear!

THE UNTAMED (2019) — episode 48

#“why don't you ask me to explain?”#poor lxc is already heartbroken and barely able to process what might come next #especially when they're surrounded by witnesses #which leaves no possibility for private conversation or negotiation or *understanding*#only the very great probability that jgy's explanation will be so unacceptable #that there will be no coming back from it - not for the jianghu and not for jin guangyao #(and not for lan-zongzhu - who will have to act even if lan xichen is breaking from grief)#i wonder what jgy's fate would have been #had only jgy and lxc been present in guanyin temple that night #cql #jin guangyao #lan xichen #xiyao

Really excited to get to share this absolutely gorgeous art by nokiazuzhilang here, which was commissioned by my lovely @astrinde for a scene from the first fic in our Xiyao collaboration, you are a flower of infinite petals.

It's so so cool to be able to see a scene I wrote brought to life so beautifully, and I have two very wonderful and talented people to thank for making it happen. <3

A gorgeous illustration of a gorgeous moment. <3
