I still think it’s funny as hell that while LWJ was like “I just want to find either his body or his spirit so I can put him to rest and maybe talk to him one last time,” Jiang Cheng was like “I KNOW that motherfucker is alive I KNOW it I KNOW he’s out there doing his Wei Wuxian BULLSHIT. Like hell he’s dead!!! This is Wei Wuxian we’re talking about!!”

[untamedmetablogiguess]

i have this headcanon that, when they were looking for wei wuxian during the war (the only time they could ever stand each others’ company!!!), it was actually the reverse.  like, they were both stubbornly insisting that They Will Find Him, but deep down Jiang Cheng is kinda sure what they find is going to be his remains - which he is still determined to find because dammit he is not leaving his brother to rot out there!! but like, he’s already halfway to thinking of yanli as “my only surviving family,” he’s halfway to referring to wwx in the past tense, and lwj keeps glaring at him whenever he says “wei wuxian was -” because nope he does not accept this.  lan wangji is not used to not getting what he puts his mind to!  lan wangji, at this point, had his own brother go missing-presumed-dead and then show up again to lead an army and be okay!  lan wangji is going to find wei wuxian and he is going to be alive when he does and that’s all there is to it!

and frankly, lan wangji’s willingness to believe that wei wuxian is Gone with a capital-G after his fall hits jiang cheng as a kind of betrayal.  as the only other person who knows wwx was not stabbed, that he was still alive when he fell, jiang cheng feels that lan wangji should be on board the “he’s definitely not dead” train - but of course he can’t get up in lwj’s face and demand to know why he’s not, because they are very much Not Talking about who did or did not stab which other people that day.

Oh my god yes I love all of this so much.

With the legendary hug Jiang Cheng gives Wei Wuxian when they find him again after Wen Chao dumps him in the Burial Mounds, I do 100% believe that Jiang Cheng had already decided that Wei Wuxian was probably dead. He grabbed onto that shige like he had thought it was something he was never going to be able to do again.

I wonder now, too, how much their respective thoughts were about how Wei Wuxian felt about each of them when he fell from the cliff also colored their perceptions of whether he survived. I think that maybe it’s the case that Lan Wangji felt that clearly if Wei Wuxian was still alive and needed help, then the first person he’d come to was Lan Wangji—whereas Jiang Cheng’s suspicions that “if Wei Wuxian is still alive, of course he would want to avoid me as hard as he possibly can” turned out to be true.

Therefore, Lan Wangji knows that Wei Wuxian is dead because if Wei Wuxian was alive then he would seek him out (not 100% true, as we saw ourselves, but I will concede that Wei Wuxian finds it difficult to stay away from Lan Wangji for very long), whereas the fact that Jiang Cheng hasn’t seen WWX yet doesn’t mean he has to accept that he’s dead—a living WWX wouldn’t reach out to Jiang Cheng any more than a dead one would.

Okay, this is awful, but it appeals to my weird sense of humor. And it's my tumblr.

Two dudes in my group chat have been playing league & slowly but surely have shifted from saying "wanna play league of legends" to "wanna play some geego legends". At this point their average post is just @ing the other and going "geegogagand?" and I feel insane

Grace explaining sheepishly to Eridian linguists that the reason he uses different pronouns for Rocky than for the rest of the population is that he reflexively defaulted to assigning Rocky the same grammatical and social gender that he himself uses, in a way that has historical precedent but in modern English is considered somewhat chauvinistic and backward, and he's not proud of it but also the habit is pretty deeply ingrained now and unless Rocky objects it's probably easier to just keep on as he has been...

and immediately being informed lol. lmao. do not even worry about it. you have no idea what kind of buck wild grammatical constructs Rocky has invented for you. everyone else addresses you as foreigner/scholar. they're somehow managing to refer to you as their sibling, ward, and semidivine culture hero at the same time every time they talk about you.

I attended a campfire presentation by a park ranger who described Osprey as "both the pickiest and least picky eaters of all time."

They're the pickiest because they only eat things they can catch by plunging into at least six feet of water feet-first and are as close to their maximum carrying capacity as possible, to maximize calories-per-trip.

They're the Least Picky because so long as something fits those parameters, Osprey will go for it.

The ranger then showed us an extensive slide show of the local osprey in flight with their catches, which included: trout, carp, snakes, bass, eels, small sharks, ducks, surprisingly large catfish, a nerf football, muskrats, a summer sausage that fell off a boat, sneakers, a fish previously thought to be extinct in the area, a Barbie Doll, and another osprey.

Uh oh, the owner of the house caught us

I do think, for the Eridians monitoring the biodome, that Grace is the equivalent to the Devil's Hole Pupfish. This life form is constantly trying to die, it lives in an absurdly specific set of temps, pressures, and radiation conditons that are so inhospitable to life as you know it, as to to be comical.

It takes up an abusrd amount of land to keep healthy, to the point that you have to cordon off acres of land around the habitat to make sure nothing goes wrong.

As far as you know this could be only living specimen left alive, it is critically endangered. It lives for such a short amount of time too.

But like, come on, hes just a little guy.

Anytime a single eridian suggests that maybe the human doesnt need that many resources allocated towards its survival, those scientists thrum to create another facility that costs 12 billion dollars to build so that they can manufacture vanilla flavor for his nutrient shakes.

He's their little guy. Their weird, wet, unique, biologically inefficient guy.
