Umm I wanna ask if this is blog is still in use??
Cuz it was last updated in the 2022 I think
Btw I read your The villainess turns the hourglass manhwha
yeah this blog is pretty much inactive sorry 😭 i haven't even been on my main acc for months now. i might come back, but i wouldn't hold my breath, im kinda over tumblr
I dunno how Trash of the Count's Family revealed OG Cale was like later, but I always assumed he was violent in a 'I will throw shit in an empty room to make sure I don't hurt anyone' kind of way. The fact he was drinking at 13(?) makes go oof tho.
[i assume you meant to send this to this blog rather than my main, so i copy-pasted it and sent it here]
yeah, that would make him a lot more sympathetic. also. 13? sounds like og cale had it rough... (not pictured: me desperately trying to not have blorbo Feelings)
Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss.
Inha Baek
Webtoon: Cheese in the Trap
Yizhi: Sometimes Zetian talks in her sleep. It's adorable.
Zetian [talking in her sleep]: fight me, motherfuckers… i think the fuck not… who the hell do you think you are…
Yizhi: So adorable
Gao Yizhi meeting Li Shimin for the first time: not to be a bisexual but oh gods oh fuck skies above oh my fucking shit
IRON WIDOW DREAM CAST
Yesterday I finished Iron Widow, so since I can't stop thinking about it, here is my dream cast:
WU ZETIAN as Ni Ni
I mean, look at her in one of their photoshoots! The fox-girl, the Iron Widow!
LI SHIMIN as Remy Hii
I just think he would be perfect in it, also look at this gif and imagine if Shimin had grown up with his mother's people!
GAO YIZHI as Gong Jun
Baby beautiful, baby angel, baby perfect! Also, look at his heart eyes for Shimin and Zetian!
BONUS: EMPEROR QIN ZHENG as Luo Yuxin
I mean, let's embark baby!
[Iron Widow is an amazing book by @xiranjayzhao, if you still is committing the crime of not reading it: GO READ IT RIGHT KNOW!]
Yizhi (about Wu Zetian and Li Shimin):
[id: a post by @/lesbianralzarek that has been edited to read '"i could fix them" yeah? well i could accept them as they are. you don't like the murder? grow up. the atrocities are part of them and ive decided it's hot.' /end id]
Yizhi, holds the door open: After you.
Shimin: No, after you.
Yizhi: I insist, after you-
Zetian, pushes past both of them: After me.
tired of transmigration comics where the isekai mc reincarnates into the body of a disabled person and is either a) suddenly completely unaffected by the disability or b) "works hard" to overcome their disability and succeeds where the original owner of the body "failed." like fuck off lol
ok so it appears original cale:
1. drinks all the time. is presumably an alcoholic. ok... that doesn't make someone trash.
2. smashes stuff frequently, possibly on purpose since people around him are scared of him breaking things. yeah, that would make him trash. (this is a textbook abusive tactic to frighten people into submission btw)
3. in general, the people around him are scared of him. (that's understandable) and by people, i specifically mean maids and commoners, both being groups with far less power than him. yeah, definitely trash.
4. his own brother is shocked (scared?) by isekai cale smiling. does original cale scare his own brother. what's going on
5. is a classist asshole that doesn't care about the deaths of random poor villagers. no wonder choi han beat him up in the original story
6. he despises gangsters. maybe because...they hurt less powerful people? somehow i doubt it. idk lol
i'm on the first chapter, and at least one maid is afraid of the original cale,,,, wonder how the author's gonna address this
i heard the MC for trash of the count's family is very bisexual, so here i go, new hyperfixation coming
i'm reading "i swear i wont bother you again," and it's such a refreshing manga, different from most two-dimensional villainess/reincarnation stories that woobify the "villainess" main character and demonize everyone she hurt in the first life/timeline. violette understands she was in the wrong, and her inner world is captivatingly tragic. maryjun, the "heroine" character, is sweet and well-intentioned, but not a boring, flawless, static character. same goes for claudia, the "hero" character, whose justified distrust of the villainess character is never invalidated imo and is similarly well-intentioned, compasionate, and realistically flawed. the only one of the main cast im not very impressed by is yulan, the childhood friend who,,,,idolizes violette, to say the least. tbh, he's kind of bland and two-dimensional compared to the other main characters. his friendship with violette is cute though. still, i find violette's developing relationships with maryjun (especially maryjun!) and claudia more compelling.
fav/reblog if you like!!
About what Hualian admire in each other…
In this post let’s talk about an important quality that Xie Lian and Hua Cheng admire in each other - courage and bravery, and hopefully also go through some translation issues.
Why is it that I think “courage” is the quality that Hualian most admire about each other? Let’s start with Hua Cheng’s description of Xie Lian as “a brave, noble, and gracious special someone.” As I explained in an earlier post, the word “noble” here in the original Chinese doesn’t have the connotation of “having fine personal qualities and high moral principles,” it only refers to Xie Lian’s noble birth. And the words “gracious special” in Chinese also refer to Xie Lian’s noble birth as well as implying the help Xie Lian gave to Hua Cheng. So the only word here that really emphasizes Xie Lian’s good personal quality is “brave.”
Hua Cheng loves Xie Lian’s bravery, which is also obvious from the quotes below:

Look, I know that everyone is allowed to ship what they want and media interpretation is highly personal bla bla bla however, how ON EARTH are there people out there who read Snow White With The Red Hair (Akagami No Shirayukihime) and come to the conclusion that it's a Love Triangle???
Zen is the biggest Shirayuki/Obi enabler there is! He's the one constantly sending him after Shirayuki and finding ways for the three of them to be together.
Shirayuki tells Obi that her and Zen are only as happy as they are together because Obi is by their side.
Obi just flirts with Zen ALL THE DAMN TIME! He says that he's happily but his reigns in his master's hands? That he'll serve him AND Shirayuki for the rest of his life? How much queerer can you GET?!
I mean, look, I'm sure that Akiduki-sensei was just out to write a non-toxic love triangle or something but in doing so has written a really healthy and narratively engaging Polyamorous Relationship!
This is about a healthy Polyamorous relationship where in Obi hasn't yet worked out that he's part of the Triad. Once Obi works that out, and learns that it's absolutely okay for him to be in love with two different people at the same time, then things are going to go a lot smoother for all involved!
Okay. I know I literally never post here (I'm planning on working on that) but I have a lot of feelings right now and I have literally no RQ fan friends so I'm taking my rantings to Tumblr!
I make a lot of jokes about being in love with Maven Calore, and I am not afraid to admit that Maven is my favorite character in the series. There's generally two types or reactions this gets me. There's always the logical "Ew, what the fuck have you even read the books?" and the "OMG IKR HE'S LITERALLY SO SEXY!"
But here's the real tea.
Maven Calore is a very complex character and there is absolutely no black and white with him.
Yes, he is incredibly toxic and manipulative and abusive. And yes, that's only because of how badly he had been manipulated and abused himself. Both are true and one does not outweigh the other. I see a lot of people jumping to extremes, either demonizing or fetishizing him and everything he's done, and I just- No. His actions are not entirely his fault, but they are in no way justifiable. You have to look at the coin from both sides.
From a very young age, Maven had been both abused and neglected and used as a puppet. His father was consistently emotionally unavailable, and always treated Maven as less than his brother, and everything his mother did always had some sort of ulterior motive. Because of her mind-altering ability, she was able to shape and mold Maven to be exactly what she wanted and needed.
Just pulling from his wiki page and my own memory since I am currently not at home and do not have access to the books for reference, I can recall several occasions mentioned of Elara's mental abuse. She took away his love for both his father and his brother because it was getting in the way, took away his ability to dream because his nightmares were an inconvenience to her, and added and subtracted so many aspects of his personality to the point where Maven could no longer tell what was his and what was hers. All while he was still a child. Because of this abuse and manipulation, Maven in his later years was what I would consider extremely mentally ill, having no sense of self and being unable to fully experience emotions and such as most people would.
Another thing she did was change his definition of love. After the death of his former lover, Thomas (which I can say with certainty was incredibly traumatic for Maven, seeing as he was there and the one to cause it), Elara learned that she could not erase that type of love from his memory. She tried anyway, of course, but that only fucked him up more. After Mare, however, she realized that she still couldn't erase it, but she could change it into something that could be more useful to her. Obsession.
Now, like I said, there are two types of people here. There are the ones that refuse to acknowledge any of his past, and there are the ones that romanticize all of the trauma he's been through.
Maven is not a good person, no matter how you try to paint him. But that is partly because he never got the chance to be one. We don't know anything about how he would've turned out without Elara's additions and subtractions. All we know is what her handiwork turned him into. And that person. That person. Is, as was stated before, toxic and manipulative and abusive. Which should not at all be treated as hot or sexy.
His story isn't some romantic tragedy, and it isn't about a true and total monster either. It's a story of repeated mental and emotional abuse and the consequences that can have on someone.
Anyway, rant over. Thank you for sticking through this, I hope it was slightly coherent enough to read through. I'm a little tired lmao.
