The Guanyin temple confession is maybe my favorite scene of any piece of media I've ever consumed because it's so unpredictable.

You got the villain just halting his evil plot, full stop, in the middle of his gloating speech, no less, because "What do you MEAN you guys aren't even together?! What?! No, no, no, there won't be any romantic misunderstanding in my hostage situation! Honey, tell him!"

And then the calmest, most polite character alive procceeds to go his version of apeshit on this punk like "my brother like-likes you, you fucking pinecone! You useless twink! We all thought you were a hoe but you are just an imbecile!" (Which is a nice parallel to the Jiang brothers' hatred for the peacock, but I digress)

And THEN, when it's the perfect moment for a climatic love confession, homeboy goes and screams for everyone to hear that he... really wanted that dick, Hanguang-jun! Where's love? Who cares? WWX wants to ride you like a carnival ride: sticky and filthy and multiple times.

It's a wonder that Xichen didn't yank that string from Jing GuangYao to strangle WWX himself.

This has been my favorite addition, I cackled like a seal irl lol

I was just discovering the xicheng ship, and read the fantastic “Under our Silver Bridge” by TheWanderingHeart in AO3 and inspired me so much that I did a little comic of one of the scenes. It may look that Jiang Cheng is friend zoning Lan XiChen, but NO! 😫 You need to read the fic.

I have drawn many, many pictures of Jiujiu Holding A-Ling! Yet somehow, not enough. So I present to you all: Another One

it's obviously not ideal but what if we just aim for november at this point it's so so so far away I know, and yes I know it's perilously close to end of semester chaos for any students, but

[muta-draws]

What about what I want?

[exoras-deus]

Just a french guy teaching his best friend about french culture

Cause, you know. French kissing. He knows all about it, if it’s french. Right?

jk I probably won't remember to come back tomorrow (today? it's 330 am) so you get the unpolished version

ok so I was gone a lil bit longer than intended ..got sick Again in Jan for 3 weeks, getting a little tired of this ..practiced sobriety for 2 months. wish I could say I felt better / slept better / felt renewed & refreshed, etc etc but the truth is I did not particularly enjoy it. was an interesting experiment though ..QUINNESOTAAAAAAAAAAA ..have bought a truly horrifying amount of books in the last couple months. I am excited about so many of them. hopefully I will eventually read them. at the rate I've been reading it'll only take me like………. 75 years. going to create a 2026 reading list with assigned weekly books, see if having a rigid list solves anything. ..I wish I could talk more about TBC, there are so many parts I want to share. .."how long is wretchedly long???" well last time I checked we were at 135K and there's probably 50k left to go unless I trim it down any. (unlikely. joy of being self-published is no one can tell me to stfu.) so far we've been pretty even-stevens on POV breakdowns. picking POVs is sometimes the hardest part of writing this set. example a: the chapter I've spent the last four weeks on has changed POVs 6 times. I've rewritten it so many times it has its own "cuts" file separate from the main one. ..the news is horrific! evil people keep winning! keeping faith in humanity is getting a bit difficult these days, but if we give up on ourselves & each other then what else do we have to carry us through
