Ah, thanks for the rec, I’ll have to look into that! Xicheng is not something I ship generally, but I’ll give it a go!

@themoonbunnyverse​ said: But then wouldn't he try to make play dates between Jin Ling and Lan Yuan? And I don't think Wangji would like the Idea (because Sizhui and Jin Ling doesn't seem close or really super familiar with each other). Not that this stops Xichen from being a Doting Uncle™ for each of them, separatedly.

Hmmm, I think he would be pretty respectful of Wangji’s wishes as a parent figure and the fact that Wangji has A Feud with one of Jin Ling’s main caretakers would make it so it wouldn’t necessarily be the best idea. And this is true! He will just be sweet wherever he goes :’)

IN ACTUALITY, it was your piece that made me start pondering this, it was heartbreakingly beautiful and it KILLED me ;-;

I must have been giving him a Look™, because he quickly amended it with, “I’ve seen a lot more random though!” 

Dude, though. Honestly. Guys like you are why I usually use self-checkout.

oh yeah I third the image hosting question. that's my main issue w/ dreamwidth

@adorablecrab replied to your post:“*posts art to Dreamwidth community, then runs away*”:

yes what pilf asked as well

@pilferingapples replied to your post:“*posts art to Dreamwidth community, then runs away*”:

How are you posting art on DW? Like, what image host? I know they have a minor local amount of storage but it's Not Much, right?

@adorablecrab replied to your post:“*posts art to Dreamwidth community, then runs away*”:

how's the experience with dreamwidth so far?

The image hosting was my main issue at first too, but then I discovered Google Photos was a thing, so I just upload there and embed the link. They also have an app so you can use it on mobile too, AND it can back up all the images from your phone with zero work. I don’t believe there is an upload limit, either. I haven’t tried Dreamwidth’s image hosting, since Google Photos checks all my boxes. (Tbh, I use it to upload to Pillowfort too, since their image hosting is underdeveloped)

Other than that, I just feel like Dreamwidth is more what I personally want out of a blog/fandom platform. Both fic and art ends up looking pretty good on it, imo, I like the idea of communities (even if I don’t know how to use them), and even though not many people use it atm, I feel like the interactions I have with other people on there are more meaningful and personal. Because, you know, threaded comments take the place of a bunch of likes and comment-less reblogs. (I know not everyone feels this way and some people have more vocal followers than others on Tumblr, but I’ve felt a major drop off in my interaction with other people on here. Maybe it’s in my head, maybe not)
