For round 2 of the WIP guessing game, how about finger/fingers? With “desperate” as a back up? (And let’s say MLC or DMBJ again for fandoms!)
Thank you, @bbcphile! Again, I went with DMBJ because I'm pretty sure you've read everything MLCB that I've written thus far. Wu Xie has woken up in Yucun Biji time with no memory of anything between TLT2 time and now. This is shortly after he wakes up. ^_^
Wu Xie traced each one of them, fingers barely skimming flesh as they wandered over this changed body. Some scars were puckered, ugly things, pulling at the flesh around them in permanent disfigurements. Others were light, barely visible, but clear to the touch of fingers which had never known them. But it was the scars on his arm that finally dropped him to sit on the edge of the bathtub, the shaking in his hands spreading to the rest of his body.
Seventeen.
He counted them twice.
Three times.
All neatly in a row on his left inner arm. All precisely placed where the knife would have landed if held in his right hand.
He'd carved these wounds himself.
Why… why would he have done that?
If anyone else would like to send a word (+/- a fandom), feel free, but please send it to this blog (rensrendition).
Content creators and appreciators alike are invited to partake in a month-long celebration of Mo Dao Zu Shi in its many forms. For the entire month of October you are welcome to use the above list of prompts to create the MDZS-related content of your choice! Reblogging this post is greatly appreciated, as this will spread the event to more people, meaning more content for everyone! Rules and a written list of the 31 prompts can be found under the read more.
Rules;
You are welcome to participate in as many or as few of the days as you like. Late entries are okay, so If you miss a day but still wish to post your creation for that day, go for it! Just make sure you’ve included the day # somewhere in your post so that I may tag it appropriately.
Although the prompts are fall-themed, creations need not be fall-themed. So long as a connection can be made, it’s fair game.
While this event is titled “Untamed Fall Fest,” any content deriving from any of MDZS’s adaptations is welcome. Content can take the form of a gif, art, video, mp3, fanfiction or other text, edit, meme, or anything else you can think of!
You are free to create NSFW content for the fest, I simply will not be reblogging it to the fyuntamed tumblr as I would like to keep it SFW. I also reserve the right to not reblog any creations I deem offensive, inappropriate, etc.
Do not repost other’s work, regardless of credit given, as the point of this event is for everyone to make their own creations! Additionally, if your creation involves content not directly from the drama, donghua, or manhua, please source it!
Tag your creations as #untamed fall fest within the first 5 tags so that others and myself can easily find it. If you would like to send your posts directly to me, that is also fine.
Have fun!! Any remaining questions may be directed to my ask box!

If you liked my original post about the possibility of a fall fest, I’ve tagged you below:
I need some kind of shorthand for “I care about you and am thinking about you, but I am also all out of spoons, so here’s a picture of a puppy snuggling a kitten because that’s all my brain can process right now,” but I feel like that’s asking a lot of an emoji

Wait, RADIO PLAYS???? Who’s in them? Where can I find them? Tell me EVERYTHING! :D
so much for tomorrow I guess ;D
OKAY SO YES RADIO PLAYS!!!!
There were apparently multiple ones. This one is The Adventures of Captain Horatio Hornblower (1952), freely available at the Internet Archive and a handful of other places. Apparently with Michael Redgrave as Hornblower; idk, really.
It’s A LOT of episodes and probably the most faithful book adaption I know of*, except with slightly more dialogue. They somehow managed to make Hornblower even dorkier in a very book-Hornblower sort of way.
I actually haven’t listened to all of it myself (yeowch holy audio quality batman), but the things I have listened to (mostly the Lieutenant Hornblower stuff; Renown and such) are pretty good.
*and -sigh- follows the books in publication order, not in chronological order. Have fun with that...
That’s more or less how I imagine Archie and Horatio met in @bbcphile‘s Harboured & Encompassed for the first time, though it’s just a sketch and I tried some new brush pens. For some reason, I imagine a modern-day Horatio with glasses.
I would actually love to draw Harboured & Encompassed as a comic (if @bbcphile lets me), but first I have to read the whole thing and then sleep a few nights about this idea...

Put it up on a projector(do you still use those? I'm old) and let the class tear him apart. Also stay strong! Hopefully he becomes the next John Bobbitt
I would except tomorrow is the last day of class and they’re workshopping the next(final) paper. It will literally be the last time I see his face, though, so I take some comfort from that.

you can squash him a little bit! if the essay's crap then it is literally your job, even though I know it is so draining to give assholes that that even five seconds of your time. stay strong!
I like your style, but I am holding onto my moral high ground by the skin of my teeth here.

Ooh geez. Best of luck to you. You have to make it though or this dude wins. You got this.
OK, this was literally exactly what I needed to hear to get this done. Thanks!

Deploy the red pen
Alas, I grade in blue. I was doing it to be less....evocative of blood....but now I regret that choice
