The 🔥GYM SCENE🔥 is here✨️
• Hotel gym, 2am •
Thank you so much for the appreciation towards this short Hollanova fan comic of mine~
(I can't believe we reached +60k likes on IG, you're very welcome to check my profile there too~)
Ready for what's coming next?👀🔥✨️
As a married person I do need to tell you all that Shane and Ilya do weird shit all the time.
They routinely have entire conversations where Ilya is very softly smacking Shane's foot the entire time. Shane enjoys the percussive feedback.
Ilya mispronounces the word "Application" and they just sit there mutually whispering 'Aaap-li-caaa-shun' at each other for the next thirty seconds.
Ilya comes up behind Shane while he's trying to make a smoothie and says 'HELPING HANDS' and puts his arms under Shane's armpits.
Ilya sees Shane undressing in the bathroom and yells, "Take it all off!"
Shane carries Anya into the bedroom and holds her over Ilya's chest and moves her paws and says, "Papa it is me. Papa it has been an whole hour since I ate. Papa I am so hungry and sad." then drops her on his stomach.
Shane comes into the home office and grabs a pen off the desk and puts it against Ilya's cheek and says, "Any last words?" and Ilya says, "I wish I had eaten more dumplings."
Ilya spends an entire episode of House Hunters International with his hand down Shane's pants. It's not doing anything in there either it's just keeping warm.
Sometimes they are just mutually awake at three AM for No Reason and they go stand on the porch and stare at the empty street together.
Sometimes they are laying there playing footsie on the couch while on their phones (Parallel play) and Shane says, "Does your mouth ever do that squeezing thing. You know. When you eat." And Ilya says "Explain" and they spend the next ten minutes dissecting whether this is a Human Experience or a Shane Experience.
Sometimes Ilya will put his head on Shane's stomach and say, "Show me your boooones" and wait for Shane to lift his shirt so he can burrow under it.
I just think that we as a fandom need to embrace how Weird married people get about each other. From personal experience I am telling you it is SO FUN.
I have questions about the untamed's name, specifically, is that a fair translation of the title in Chinese and why do you think they changed it from mo dao zu shi to chen qing ling? Also it sounds the same as chenqing the flute, does that have any meaning or is it pure accident?
oh hey! look, it’s another thing I love rambling about!
so English title of the show, The Untamed, has absolutely nothing to do with any of the titles in Chinese, but I’m going to walk through the titles to get see how we get to ‘The Untamed’

Today I find myself thinking about Wei Wuxian and all the names he comes up with for things, and how much each one says about his character–his cleverness, his philosophies, his true feelings.
Like when he’s debating on what to name his spell–Binding or Bonding. This is an English translation, of course, but it still tells us that he wants to get the name right. He’s playing with it, thinking about what connotations each one has.
He’s using this, of course, to tease Lan Wangji in the process. Especially because it’s a clear callback (light blue, same wrists, and everything) to the Lan headband in the cave. “In what way are we bound? In what way does something like this bind a person?”
The fact that he thinks so much about words and their meanings, and then sees how to use them at other people like that, is just delightful. He’s just delightful.
Wei Wuxian named his sword Suibian, meaning “Whatever.” But we’re specifically told that it was because he had too many names for it–over 20–and none of them were good enough. None of them fit. And when he was frustrated enough to say “suibian!” he thought that, itself, was a great name.

鬼城 is my favorite location in 天官赐福！btw can you spot some of the small MXTX easter eggs? (they are very few and very small)
They’re so soft ♥
So now that I’m done with all 3 children.
I like all three, I think all of them have their pros and very little cons.
Scum Villian is fucking hilarious. Shen QingQiu is a fucking, hilarious mess and I love him. I love his stupid fan too. oh my god his sidelines were killing me sometimes. The plot isn’t that complicated and it isn’t sad at all, which was refreshing after reading tgcf and mdzs. The other characters weren’t as interesting but I think it was fun that Shen QingQiu pretty much ended up in the middle of a male harem with a lot of men fawning over him, even if he only got fucked by one. Luo BingHe is top tier yandere and I love it. I just think I like aggressive Luo BingHe more than the puppy that chases after his shizun.
After Luo BeingHe comes back from the pits of hell it got a lot easier to read for me. The extras were fun and we got two Lou BeingHe which is a-okay with me. Fuck up your shizun why not. It had no flashbacks which I loved.
tldr: incel critic dies after bitching over a harem novel and reincarnates in said harem novel and seduces the main character to turn gay and dick him down (lieslieslies he’s the victim help him)
Modao Zushi is a very, I guess war love story. It wasn’t as funny as Scum Villian but it was pretty fucking depressing and it hit the heart right where it hurt. You have more complicated relationships with other characters and at some point, I did shed a tear or two in some scenes. Wei WuXian is hilarious and also very cool, I love him. He is willing to do everything for his family and his falling from grace was iconic. 100% love me a bad bitch that wants vengeance, honestly, the most interesting part of this story was, without doubt, Wei WuXian. Lan WangJi…Mhmm, I like him a lot because he’s the loyal lover that waited for his one true love and never doubted him, but he’s too quiet, I guess? tbh I enjoyed him a lot more in the extras than anything else. The fucking was great in the extra chapters and Wei WuXian is a kinky bitch.
It was a very hard novel for me to read. I struggled reading this one the most because it had so many flashbacks and so many scenes that were mostly to move parts of the plot and not the MCs (Main Character(s)) relationship.
tldr: Gay man stays in the closet for over 13 years while chasing after his loved one that refuses to become his roommate even if said loved one is pretty much a homeless evil infested thot.
Tian Guan Ci Fu is a tragic red-string story. I fucking love the plot and the world build up. The world build up in mdzs is amazing too but it doesn’t reach this level in my opinion. It is tragic, sad and full of despair in some scenes. I legit fucking cried in some parts, some scenes were just painful to read. The aesthetics are *chef’s kiss* and the plot is pretty interesting as well, they did a very good job at hiding who the true evil dude was. Xie Lian is a very well written character, all around. I love this bitch, everything about him was interesting, his whole background was interesting. How he became who he is was great and I loved it. Hua Cheng is another very well written character, same as Xie Lian, his background story was interesting, his character was great. How he became who he is was just as great. The chemistry between the two is fucking amazing. The extras were cute and great but I’m sad I didn’t get any fucking.
Thankfully the flashbacks were not as heavy this time around. It was the easiest to read for me and I didn’t struggle at all.
tldr: Religious fanboy wishes to fuck god but god don’t even know he exists.Fanboy grows to be hot and God becomes broke. Fanboy eventually becomes God’s sugar daddy and dicks him down.
Some things that kinda annoyed me from all the novels but that I didn’t care much about:
Random memory loss of some characters. Like they forget a lot of key points.
The friends/family of one fo the MCs always having out for the other MC.
Everyone being straight AF except the two gay dudes which I understand is the Author’s preference so like I said, I don’t care that much.
Having some time skips that don’t really tell you how much time has passed but sometimes it tells you. So it’s random.
Hua Cheng isn’t real.
So, without a doubt, my favorite character out of all the MCs is Hua Cheng. Ghost sugar daddy is too good to be true, Xie Lian is a lucky bitch.
After that, from the other novels, I love Wei WuXian and Shen QingQiu the most…honestly I like all of them fuck it. All of them get a second-place after Hua Cheng. Just bundle them up.
As to pick a favorite novel, I’m biased towards tgcf cuz it has got Hua Cheng but to be honest, I like all of them pretty much the same. Each one is very different and unique, they take key points differently. They might have some similarities but the execution is very different for me to even compare them.
overall, I’m happy and well-fed.
Thank you for the meal.

He bows to Wei Wuxian, sword in hand, sleeves falling properly. Wei Wuxian bows in return, and the sect leaders begin the opening courtesies, and for all of ten minutes Lan Wangji is under the impression that he is betrothed to a boy who is perfectly normal and acceptable apart from an unfortunate tendency to fidget with his clothes.
That impression does not last.

Lan Zhan finds the rabbit in the winter.
Fur pitch-black against the snow, it huddles in a pitiful, bedraggled ball at the edge of the Gusu Academy’s herb garden when Lan Zhan calls Jin Rulan’s fat, spoiled familiar to heel, and continues to cower even after Fairy has trotted reluctantly away to sit by Lan Zhan’s side.
Lan Zhan initially intends to leave it, to hold Fairy just long enough to let the rabbit run back into the night where it belongs, but when it uncurls and limps forward, red splatters drip onto the ground behind it.
There is no matching stain on Fairy’s muzzle, so it is not a harm that Gusu is directly responsible for, but - to save the animal from Jin Rulan’s dog just to leave it to die in the cold would not be a mercy.
Slowly, carefully, Lan Zhan scoops it up and tucks it into the front of his robe, where it can share his body heat. He expects it to struggle, and so is pleasantly surprised when it calms immediately and begins to nose around in his clothing.
“Be still,” he tells it mildly, and, whistling for Fairy to follow, heads back up the hill, towards the light of the main hall.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR STORY, IT WAS WONDERFUL @smiting-finger
FOR ME! ;O; <3 @silverink58, YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAND! /o\
Everything is gorgeous and I love it so much, but I ESPECIALLY ADORE the sleeping on LWJ’s face (100% definitely happened, headcanon accepted) and the PLAYING DEAD - this is a rush job, but how could I not write a thing:
“Playing dead will not help you,” Lan Zhan tells the rabbit, who had taken one sniff of the medicinal potion and dramatically keeled over. “We need to ensure that the curse that hit your leg has left no lingering effects.”
The rabbit ignores him.
Lan Zhan is not unsympathetic - the potion does not smell appetising in the least. But it must be taken nevertheless.
“My brother brewed this especially,” Lan Zhan says patiently. “He stood over it for two hours.”
Gasping and wheezing, the rabbit drags itself back to the vial in Lan Zhan’s hand. It takes another sniff and promptly flops over onto its side.
Lan Zhan sighs. Time for Plan B.
“It does smell very strong,” he says, quietly withdrawing a small metal container from his sleeve and setting it down on the table. “It wouldn’t be surprising if it made you lose your appetite completely.”
Eyes still closed, the rabbit nods and coughs pitifully.
“In that case,” Lan Zhan continues, returning the container to its original size with a quick Engorgement charm before tapping his wand on the lid to open it.
The smell of lotus root soup wafts gently out.
“There’ll be no need for the palate-cleanser I asked the house elves to make you.”
One of the rabbit’s eyes springs open.
“What a shame,” Lan Zhan says, bending to take a slow and deliberate closer look. “They even put chilli in it.”
He swishes his wand, even more slowly and deliberately, to Levitate the lid back on.
“I wonder,” he adds, the final nail in the coffin, “if Fairy might still ea-”
His closing flick is stopped by a black paw on his wrist.
The rabbit gives him a baleful stare, turns to the vial and taps its uninjured leg expectantly.
Lan Zhan hides a smile.
EEEEE!!!! I CANT STOP SCREAMING!! Bless you both for the original art, the fic and the response art/ficlet 🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
They are so CUTE! This post is getting out of hand but I don’t care, I LOVE the story so much!! @smiting-finger
/SCREAMING: MORE ADORABLE ART!!!! /o\ Aaaah, I LIVE FOR the way the bunny emotes with its entire body, and its expressions of suffering are just <3<3<3
@silverink58 I don’t know how long I can keep this up either but the answer is at least one more time, lol:
The first time is a surprise.
Lan Zhan’s brother has just asked him to assist with an experimental potion in the evening when there’s a shout of “FAIRY, NO!” from behind them, followed by increasingly loud barking and then suddenly the familiar weight on Lan Zhan’s shoulder has shot down his robes and up his shirt.
When he looks down, Jin Rulan’s familiar is sitting in front of him, attention trained on the shivering lump at the front of Lan Zhan’s clothing.
“Jin Rulan,” his brother says to the sheepish boy who skids to a halt behind it. “This is not the first, nor even the second time you’ve lost control of your familiar.”
“I’m sorry, Headmaster,” Jin Rulan apologises, “Professor Wangji.” He dips a small half-bow, grabs his dog by the collar and drags it away, his scolding echoing all the way down the hall.
The dog itself is unrepentant, turning every few metres to look back at Lan Zhan, ears still alert with interest.
Lan Zhan taps his wand against his collar, and, when the first three fastenings come undone, peers down his shirt at the dark shape inside.
“It’s gone. Are you ready to come out now?”
The rabbit looks at him and then curls back into a tight ball.
Well, Lan Zhan thinks, refastening his shirt and shaking his head in response to his brother’s silent question. He doesn’t have classes this morning. The rabbit can stay in there a while longer.
-
The second time, the dog doesn’t even have time to bark before the rabbit is hidden in Lan Zhan’s clothing and trembling.
They’re outside on the school grounds, so it’s not unreasonable for Fairy to be roaming free, given that the Academy rules permit familiars free rein over the grounds, so long as they present no danger to the house elves, teachers or other students.
Fairy trots to a halt in front of him and sits, tongue lolling and tail wagging, eyes once again fixed on the small, shifting lump.
“I don’t think she means you harm,” Lan Zhan says, placing a comforting hand on the outside of his robes and giving the rabbit a few reassuring pats. The rabbit’s only reply is to press itself more tightly against his stomach, so Lan Zhan doesn’t push further, just motions to Fairy and goes in search of her owner, who’ll presumably be able to restrain her until Lan Zhan makes his way back inside.
-
The third time, the rabbit tries to take a stand. Instead of following its usual route up Lan Zhan’s shirt, it clambers onto the top of his head and leans down to chatter angrily.
Its heroism is short-lived; Fairy barks once, twice, rears up onto her hind legs to place two eager paws on Lan Zhan’s thighs, and the rabbit promptly dissolves into a shivering mess, clinging to Lan Zhan’s scalp and crying piteously.
Lan Zhan instructs Fairy to sit and waits for Jin Rulan’s small, angry figure to reach them, wondering how difficult it will be to extract the rabbit from his hair.
-
He’s not sure why he thinks it will stop once Wei Ying has revealed himself as an animagus.
“-magical practice is cross-disciplinary, right?” Wei Ying - Professor Wuxian, now - is saying on their way to the dining hall. “So I was thinking, what if we ran combination classes, let’s say once a month? Just think, Lan Zhan, we could combine geomancy and talisman-design, astrology and - AH!”
He cuts himself off with a shriek and a crack! of displaced air.
And Lan Zhan finds himself with a small bundle down the front of his robes again, a group of students and a dog looking between it and the space where Professor Wuxian used to be, and no idea how to begin explaining.

I tripped and I fell and this HP AU came out
So I was chatting to @silverink58 about the beautiful original picture of Professor LWJ, and they were saying that when they picked up the prompt for the inktober exchange, they were hoping to read Hogwarts student!LWJ,
And I thought “oh how delightful, maybe I’ll think about that idea later”, and then that “later” became “now” and what I’m saying is they shouldn’t have let me download the google docs app onto my phone, because I clearly cannot be trusted.
@silverink58 this is for you, lol. Thanks for naming “Little Apple” :’D.
He almost doesn’t see it: a flutter of black fabric, the edge of a student robe before it slips away out of sight. But he catches the movement from the corner of his eye, and pure reflex has Lan Zhan drawing his wand to fire off a quick body-bind curse.
There’s a muffled noise of surprise, abruptly cut off, and then the thump of a body hitting the floor.
When Lan Zhan turns the corner, it’s to the sight of Wei Wuxian, lying face-down on the ground.
“It’s after curfew,” Lan Zhan says, turning him over with a quick Levitation spell. “You should be inside your dormitory.”
Dark eyes glare indignantly up at him. Calmly holding Wei Wuxian’s gaze, Lan Zhan lifts the curse.
“Report for detention tomorrow,” he says, as Wei Wuxian sits up and pointedly rubs the small pink spot on his forehead.
“Lan Zhaaaan,” Wei Wuxian complains, giving the edge of Lan Zhan’s robe a beseeching tug. Lan Zhan feels his own lips thin at the over-familiarity of both the form of address and the physical contact.
“Don’t be like that! Let me off just this once? Think of the five wonderful years we’ve spent together as potions partners!”
“Just last week, you exploded our cauldron,” Lan Zhan reminds him flatly, and Wei Wuxian grins.
“Oh come on! Let’s not harp on about petty things like that,” he says, pushing himself up onto his feet. He shakes out his robes. “You wanted to know what would happen if we added the xiezhi horn, too, just admit it.”
Lan Zhan doesn’t dignify this with a response, and simply meets Wei Wuxian’s gaze and holds it.
He is a Lan of Gusu.
He would never admit to such a thing.
