I post and reblog everything on this blog, from fandom to art and writing projects to general life things. By following me you accept the risk of getting infected with whatever new fandom or hobby I end up collapsing into.

Shy and anxious around people, but very passionate about my interests. Discord is also available if we've been chatting for a bit, but I can't promise I'm very consistent with that.

I'm basically in a constant financial struggle, so if you enjoy my writing/art/posts/general nonsense, any sort of support is always appreciated.

ENG/中文/ESP OK!

Due to my mental health, I can't reblog donation or fundraising posts right now.

Main fandoms are Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and SVSSS, but this is always subject to change, and others may appear from time to time.

Though I enjoy debating characterization and literature, I don't really like to mess around with any sort of discourse/shipcourse/anything like that where there's implications being made about real-life people and their real-life morality. HOWEVER, if you're someone with "pro-ship dni" in your bio, I'll probably block you because I don't want anything to do with anti rhetoric, thanks.

I tag all ships with the most common ship tag when they appear on my blog. If you don't like a ship but still want to follow me, feel free to just block whatever tags you feel like. Same with fandoms/characters, though I'm not always as consistent with that. If you need a post of mine to be tagged, please let me know!

folks i'm worried for us

[allpiesforourown]

Okay not gonna cry over him constantly putting others before himself . Instead can we just point out shen yuan is such a hater he helped everyone except for Shang Qinghua

There are only two people in the world Shen Yuan will neglect:

1. Himself

2. The An Ding peak lord

[allpiesforourown]

Never forget Shen Yuan was covered in blood, his face ashen, absolutely miserable, powering through it all to heal everyone around him the best he could, and he was still in his right mind enough to hate OG Shang Qinghua

“if you love this character then you must make him happy in your fics, right?” wrong. the horror. suffering. internal hemorrhage. hospital. immediately

[notbecauseofvictories]

"impulse buy" (noun) anything I have been low-key thinking about purchasing for 3 months, an item that subsequently spent 24-48 hours in my cart as I went through each and every state of grief, and which I then bought, in a desperate, the-guilt-can't-get-me-if-I'm-fast-enough rush.

shoutout to hsr for having a heartwarming father daughter reunion and then immediately revealing that neither of them were actually the father or daughter in question. iconic

The prevalence of the coyote as a trickster in American myth, the jackal as a trickster in African myth, and the fox as a trickster in Eurasian myth proves that the Funny Dogy is a staple across cultures

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

[yourrottingwife]

SIMPLE GUIDE:

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

(Modified) from my comment left on this post.

[yourrottingwife]

Adding:

Self harm scars are not body horror.

Pregnant people are not body horror.

Burn scars are not body horror, that includes chemical burn scars.

Prosthetics are not body horror.

NOT having prosthetics is also not body horror.

There is no disability aid that is body horror.

Congenital differences + disabilities are not body horror.

AND acquired differences + disabilities are also not body horror.

Real people are not body horror.

If you are uncomfortable or scared because someone looks different than you that is YOUR PROBLEM. It is your responsibility to get over it, or at the very least not make it everyone else's issue. Play the quiet game.

“Yue Qingyuan?” He hasn’t spoken in years, but despite it, his voice sounds clear.

And young, far too young.

The face in front of him is too young too. Round but hollowed by hunger, red and smeared in dirt as he cries.

It’s Yue Qi.

The stupid child who could never muster up any tears when they needed to beg in the streets was now shaking and sobbing.

What a strange sight, what a strange dream.

Because what else could it be, if not a dream?

Or; Shen Qingqiu has a lovely dream.

Chapter 2 is uppp!

Probably the funniest take on Ozai is that he's a "master manipulator". Guys, this is the same man who thought asking his abusive father nicely to make him heir would actually work. He's got all the subtlety of a hammer; where do you think Zuko gets it from?

And yeah, I know someone's going to point out how Ozai manipulated his children, but like, that's the thing. They're his children. Manipulating someone who is entirely under your control and does not have enough life experience to see through your bullshit isn't very hard.

[muffinlance]

Absolutely correct Ozai take. Turns out it doesn't take brains to be a monster.

[murglor]

@muffinlance is so right. Except instead of a journalist, it would literally be Sokka sitting at the end of the table for a war council, wearing his fake moustache and calling himself Wang Fire.

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

[phleb0tomist]

so many people ive known have pushed themselves to burnout trying to deny their disabled reality, skipping accommodations, skipping rests etc. and the world convinces them that the solution to their burnout is to push even harder. it’s a huge tragedy. i know social pressures make it tough but i want more disabled people to make things easier for themselves where possible, to opt out of things that harm them when possible, to quit while they’re ahead. be that person today! protect yourself where you can! take micro breaks while doing your hobby. get that shower chair. sit to brush your teeth. lie down in the middle of the day, even if only for 5 mins. these things add up and it’s so worth it.

[phleb0tomist]

happy disability pride month! ACCOMMODATE YOURSELF TODAY!
