Xie Zheng, any chance he gets: I'm married *divorce letter is in his hand* this? Ignore it. I'm married. My wife sent me these candies, the only sweets I eat. Sui Yuanqing has my wife's sister, I'm going to save her at the risk of my own life and 1,000 of my men, but our lives are only at risk if we fail, and we won't because I WILL save my wife's sister. *pauses for a few moments* Have I told you about my incredible wife and her sister?
Fan Changyu, at least a few times a day: I'm looking for my husband. *divorce letter in bag* don't look at that. My Yan Zheng is too good at martial arts to die in battle, so I'm going to find him, make sure he's okay, and then see about bringing him home. Have I mentioned he married into my family and is very smart and handsome and good at martial arts?
No coz they were straight up ignoring the divorce letters they had 😭

AFTG is Well Written: a Masterlist
Many people have said the book series All For The Game by Nora Sakavic is badly written. However, I believe it is not. To prove this, I made a compilation of posts that explain why the books are meticusly crafted and amazingly written.
*disclaimer: I'm not claiming the books are perfect or have no mistakes, it is impossible for any book to be that way, I'm just saying that it's not even half as bad some people claim it to be

If I'm forgetting something or you know a post that could fit in this masterlist, share it pls!
hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok
It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.
This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.
Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.
You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?
also posts in the spirit of "if you've used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!" can't be great to those with OCD
this won’t end well. (edit: hey come say hi to me on tumblr if you’d like! I’m @nymphoutofwater there, and always down to talk about tragedy

From embroidery, to print, to embroidery again.
Because if someone decides to be an asshole and tell me my work isn't embroidery, I'm going to take inspiration from it. 🙂↕️
i think when i started drawing i accepted that i never cared or needed to be a 'good' artist and that my two priorities were to be a happy artist and a better artist than i was before and because of that now people will ask me how to be a good artist and its like. well first step is you dont
everything i draw ever exists on a two point axis. will it make me happy or will it help me learn something/practice a skill. and ive never done anything else and thats working out

Terms You Might Want To Know For Your Wuxia/Xianxia Fic
MXTX's danmei are getting increasingly popular, and the fandoms are getting more fic-happy. I've noticed that some writers seem interested in writing their own fics but are concerned of making mistakes with niche honorifics and titles. I've noticed some that have jumped right in, but have made innocent errors that I'd like to correct but fear coming off as rude or presumptuous. And so I've made this list of terms that covers the basics and also some that are a little more niche since they're usually directly translated in cnovels.
DISCLAIMER: This is by no means a comprehensive list of everything one needs to know or would want to know concerning ancient Chinese honorifics and titles, merely what I myself consider useful to keep in mind.
Titles
Shifu: 'Martial father'; gender-neutral
Shizun: 'Martial father'; more formal than 'shifu'; gender-neutral
Shimu: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher
Shiniang: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher who is also a martial teacher
Shibo: elder apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral
Shishu: younger apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral
Shigu: apprentice-sister of your shifu
Shizhi: your martial nephew/niece
Shimei: younger female apprentice of the same generation as you
Shijie: elder female apprentice of the same generation as you
Shidi: younger male apprentice of the same generation as you
Shixiong: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you
Shige: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you, specifically one who has the same shifu as you or is the son of your shifu
Zhanglao: an elder of your sect
Zhangbei: a senior of your sect
Qianbei: a senior not of your sect
Wanbei: a junior not of your sect
really good list. small addition i'd add is that not all of these titles are terms of address. you would not say 'Shen-zhangbei' to any senior surnamed Shen but you would refer to them as your zhangbei when talking to others. qianbei is pretty universal for seniors. and zhanglao is specific to the rank of 'Elder', which is a formal office not passively earned through being old.
Does anyone have any jiang cheng/oc fic recs? I'm desparate for something sweet and fluffy but couldn't find anything on ao3 😭
Sooo if you ALSO think Cloudward, Ho! is one of the most beautiful D20 seasons ever, and desire an art book of the Zephyr and Zood and all the people in the cities…
This is the link to contact the Dropout Store!
@caitmayart, who worked on the backgrounds and other beautiful stuff, said people requesting an art book is the best way to get one made!
Madame X redraw!
It was a bit nerve-wracking redoing a beloved piece but I had gotten much more familiar with digital painting since December 2021 (was it really that long?!) so I really wanted to give it a go. I started completely over, not even looking at the old art to see if i would get a different look and feel. Some effects I still didn’t achieve to my liking but in general I think I’m closer to the vision than before!
For folks who are more recent followers/Jiang Cheng enthusiasts, this is a painting imagining our favorite sect leader as Madame X by John Singer Sargent. He would’ve loved to paint Jiang Cheng exactly like this, I’m positive.
Details below:
Happy birthday sect leader!
