Hua Cheng shooting himself in the foot in volume 4 with the "I have a beloved" thing will always be funny to me. Like, I get why he does it. He's gotta be stood there like, "Well fuck, I can't let anyone think I'm still on the market, but I can't just confess my feelings to His Highness. What if he rejects me? What if he feels guilty that he's the reason I can't rest in peace? What if-"

And then you have Xie Lian in the background, valiantly trying to ignore that he is currently having what I like to call a Mr. Brightside moment.

Let’s consider an AU set in a zombie apocalypse where the Hale fire never happened so Beacon Hills becomes this mecca of safety, an urban legend of a place free from infection. The Hales can tell if someone is infected and can kill them before they die and reanimate. That isn’t to say that there were never zombies in BH, just that they never managed to gain a foothold before the werewolves eradicated the problem.

But this story doesn’t take place in the time of peace after those initial few days of terror. This takes place just as the world starts to panic and realize that the zombie apocalypse is happening. Stiles and Scott left for school in the fall. They didn’t go far, just into the city. It’s only an hour drive away and one or both of them usually visit over the weekend. They’re just returning from BH, Stiles using the gas card his dad slipped him to fill up the jeep, when they notice something is off. The police are at the McDonalds across the street and there’s more than one ambulance outside. Stiles can see someone being treated for what looks like a bite, and he shivers to himself before going inside to pay. He buys an overly expensive 24 pack of water just in case, because Stiles is the guy who considers zombies first and bath salts overdose second.

ok so it might not seem like it but this was a four hour rush job this morning lmao

Happy Birthday Dianxia!

I wanted to paint his portrait like Hua Cheng would! But like more of a current reflection. I pulled outfit inspo from the official New Years /5th Anniversary art and my fav detail is that it goes hand in hand with this quote from the book:

"The Red-Robed Ghost King will dispel all the misfortune enveloping the Scrap Immortal and allow him to reveal his true appearance. You will be shocked to discover that the Scrap Immortal's color isn't dusty white—rather, it is shimmering gold."

-Was it painful?

-What?

-The core removal. Was it painful?

-If I say it wasn't painful, I'm sure Young Master Lan wouldn't believe me

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

When you meet Edward Elric he gives off the impression that he's the short-tempered hot-headed "violence is the answer to all life's questions" kind of protagonist, and it's in fact incredible character craft that he's actually the character who ends the series with a negative-3 kill count.

[phantomrose96]

people killed: 0

direct orders of "you really really need to kill this guy" ignored: 1

ongoing murders being committed by Ed's own friends/colleagues that Ed got in the way of to specifically stop that murder from happening: 2

[phantomrose96]

God's worst soldier Edward Elric. Showed up as the youngest member of the Amestrian army, took millions of dollars from them, never followed a single order, helped dismantle their fascist regime, left with a lower kill count than he arrived with, then fucked off to go be a house-husband. Character of all time.

can't believe the plot of leverage is literally 'man gets hired to be a project manager for Crime and then is forcefully adopted by the employees he doesn't want'

Isekai but the teenage boy wakes up to find himself sporadically occupying the body of a little old lady who appears to be the protagonist of a series of cozy murder mysteries where everyone in her quaint seaside town keeps getting violently and thematically killed.

Whilst wearing the guise of retired widow Mrs. Butterwell, Hideki must use all of his knowledge of genre and structure to try and prevent these murders before they can happen, because quite frankly that seems easier than actually solving the murders (he's not great at puzzles). He's been spending a lot of time talking to people around town to try and solve their various crises just to cover his bases too. It's really opened his eyes to the importance of community.

nuh uh @sunderwight this doesn’t get lost in the tags

wangxian fic: The mortifying ordeal of being super attracted to the man you could be married to (but aren’t)

The mortifying ordeal of being super attracted to the man you could be married to (but aren’t) by relenafanel

Wei Wuxian hadn’t been avoiding Lan Wangji for years, but he hadn’t been not-avoiding Lan Wangji either. There was something awful and awkward about seeing your intended spouse after turning them down that Wei Wuxian just didn’t want to deal with. It helped that he went away for university, and that Lan Wangji went away for university, and they happened to both go to different countries. Wei Wuxian liked to think they both wanted to get as far away from the situation as possible. (the situation being each other) So why, then, does Wei Wuxian’s heart skip a beat every time he sees Lan Wangji? And why is adult Lan Wangji so hot? It’s not fair that they could be married and instead Wei Wuxian is awkwardly pining for his former betrothed, a boy he once publicly broke it off with without regret.

The first chapter of my MDZS Big Bang fic is up. I'll do a more formal post for it later that has proper tagging etc. Currently, the artist I was working with has pulled out so they're looking for a pinch hitter for the fic. You'll get a more detailed post that includes collaborator info once I know those details 😂 but for now you can enjoy chapter 1!
