A demon has cursed you with the inability to have children or form a family, and as soon as you learn of this you went to tell the witch who you promised your firstborn child, as this clearly will prevent you from fulfilling your side of the deal.

I thought he was gonna get a glimpse into the future and get a clue about the massacre but nah this man had his priorities straight and only saw the most important thing in his life: a vision of his future WIFE.

[fortycumber]

Let me weep

Over my cruel fate

And let me sigh

For my lost freedom...

-------------

May the pain shatter

These shackles

Of my torments

Only for pity's sake

For a general, he's so soft-spoken and well mannerd, though??? A gentleman to the end. No aggression or indifference towards others??? Even though he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and has blood on his hands, he never directs his anger towards women or children or the vulnerable and innocent??? He's out here saving a child from a runaway carriage and saving a completely unknown woman from harm. Even in his interrogation of her, he's respectful, if firm. His dying regret is not being able to fulfil his revenge and dragging a poor woman into this mess and tarnishing her reputation. Like, we love a respectful king, but you don't understand! He's so soft on the inside but the world made him hard im-

Meanwhile, that cockroach is somehow still alive.

[bearerina]

all that 'yearning day and night' (zhao zhao mu mu) talk in speed and love just made me realize — blossom! song mo (宋墨) and dou zhao (窦昭) are zhao zhao mu mu (朝朝暮暮)! he's dusk, she's his dawn! ahhhh this makes it so much better, i adore them!

[areadersuncertaintyprinciple]

Other couples: It's going to take us some time to adjust to calling each other husband and wife.

Song Mo: Sorry your highness. I need to go back to my WIFE. My WIFE is waiting for me. My WIFE is so beautiful and I need to help MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, who I MARRIED, with her outfit. Because as my WIFE she deserves to feel comfortable. So if you need me - don't. Because I'm with MY LOVELY WIFE.

Waking up to an interview where Ludi Lin called Liu Kang and Kung Lao’s relationship in MK21 “bromance” and their fight in the sequel “breakup fight” but also “a fight for love”. And there was that Ig post about Liu and Lao’s rivalry being “heated” and all that talk about Shaolin Monks spinoff, bro truly established himself as the biggest Liulao shipper 😂 😂
