No "no one" you have to answer. Also please reblog.

if anyone hasn't read the roots grow riotous PLEASE download it while you can, it is exquisite

it is also searingly sad so be prepared for that too

[hansbekhart]

So I’m not dead!

I do have a gift though.

Quite a few people asked me for a copy of The Roots Grow Riotous when I took it down, and for various reasons I hadn’t been able to reply about it (one of which being that I was silly and didn’t download a copy for myself before privating it, and couldn’t figure it out afterwards).

Anyway, If anyone still wants a PDF of the story, this link will be active for 3 days:

The formatting is extremely PDF basic so if anyone has a better version (or pays for wetransfer, because I do not 🫠) and wants to offer up a link, I will reblog it!

[hansbekhart]

@james-hetfield-is-a-bottom was kind enough to offer their epub version of the story, which I’m sure will look nicer than my PDF! Thank you again!!

I forgot to say in the original post but I also got asked a few times if I minded people sharing their copies, and the answer is definitely no! I do not mind at all lol. I am also very friendly and am always happy to talk or receive DMs.

I can finally put all 8 animations I made together 💐

It was fun trying out different new visuals and transitions! It's really nice to see them all together🥰🥰🥰

listen i love huaisang but the way some people talk about how he's like a heroic character.... you are thinking of someone else SURELY

[sparvverius]

"his plan was actually so smart and brave" smart yes of course. but you will notice that part of what's so smart about his plan is that it always puts OTHERS in danger instead of himself and if he is not keeping far from the action he is actively being shielded lmfao. he's not a heroic guy and that's exactly what's so fun about him. love him for who he truly is!!! the man who killed a bunch of cats for the express purpose of throwing kids into mortal peril so wei wuxian would do the grunt work of his revenge plot!!!!!!

[sparvverius]

he went to the jin guangyao school of machination and improved on the method by caring LESS about "collateral damage" and "morality" and i INSIST you respect that

The best thing illegal scanlation sites have given us is that one comment on the scum villain fantl left on the exact chapter where shen qingqiu first realizes that Binghe has been in love with him the whole time

redeemability of MDZS characters

WEI WUXIAN: ca-CHING. i had a friend who redeemed wei wuxian for a whole walkman. i’m serious. 

LAN WANGJI: varies a LOT so you really want to check in advance. some places are like there is nothing to redeem here and sometimes it’s like oh hell yes cash that boy in. another thing to be aware of though is that most places that give you big value for LWJ redemption are gonna really beat the hell out of him in the process, which i know bothers some people. my view is like lol i got my prize why do i care, but it is a thing for some people 

LAN XICHEN: really tough one. everywhere will give you a different reason (he doesn’t need it, he doesn’t deserve it, etc) but the upshot is almost nowhere sees any redemption value. you can sometimes find really niche places but idk if it’s worth the effort in the end

JIANG CHENG: another one that’s probably just not worth your time. a ton of places say they really want to redeem jiang cheng and that it really needs to happen but then you try and figure out the process for doing that and it basically just doesn’t exist, there’s literally no way to meet their standards for even the crappiest keychain or glowstick prize 

XUE YANG: such low-hanging fruit. almost as easy as wei wuxian, people are gagging for it. you can honestly skip a lot of the steps people say you need to take, nobody really cares

JIN GUANGYAO: lots of places are just not interested at all, but you can get some pretty good value from other places– but like with LWJ, you gotta be okay knowing you’re giving him up to basically be destroyed. i heard of someone who got a dartboard though, so 

[natalieironside]

"Can such-and-such a person ever be redeemed?" I don't believe there is or could be or needs to be such a thing as redemption because I am not a Catholic, therefore the question is vacuous and incoherent. Next question.

[do-not-fold-spindle-or-mutilate]

What about redeemed like a voucher? Can you turn in Jim Kirk at the customer service counter for 40% off your purchase? Does Galadriel get you in store credit? Can you go to the bar and exchange Twilight Sparkle for a shitty beer?

Problematic characters can be redeemed at waffle house for a free omelet
