For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.
A morning chapter today with my latte :)
I am unsure if I'll be able to post a chapter tonight so I did one this morning. Oh no, what's the worst that can happen? A two chapter day???
Let's go chapter 127!!!!
Damn. Are these the remnants of THE bridge, because if so, Jun Wu really made a haunted house out of his trauma. p47
The real question: where is Hua Cheng?? p48
Mu Qing is really over here getting mad at Xie Lian's explanation as to why he believed him? Just take the win bro, and know that once upon a time you hurt one of the only people who truly knows you. p49
Oh god! Not only is this bridge unstable, but it's suspended over lava AND is full of vengeful spirits wanting to end them. What a combo!! p51
Why is Mu Qing like this! He's so complex as a character, but wow he's fully ready to sacrifice himself- for what!!? p53
My Heart! Mu Qing's apology! Also white no face is such an asshole (i'm going to keep saying it!) for telling Mu Qing that Xie Lian would have let him die even if he was innocent. p55
Thank fuck Feng Xin's around, it was getting so maudlin :(((( p58 I don't like sacrifice monologues- they make me sad!
This is a hate crime LMAO!! Why is Feng Xin making fun of Mu Qing's distressed and earnest confession p61
Oh man. I think, these three coming full circle is the most wholesome part of this series. Good for them for talking things out. Also- that art! So cute! The gang is back together LOL p62
Now to find Hua Cheng!
As nerve wracking as this chapter was, it still felt really positive. I am so glad that Mu Qing and Xie Lian got to talk stuff out even if they thought it was annoying lmao.
I've been playing Subnautica lately. Reaching the lava zone made me think... what if there were big lava mermaids??? Natural predators of whatever lurks in there, be it lava fish, be it human explorers that travel too deep every once in a while....
I don’t have any more commissions or monthly whims to do, so I think next I’ll start with the Ko-fi art that’s still pending! (Sorry about being slow)
(But srsly I’m ssso done with the lava by now)

i love you but all the other infjs i know are annoying...how do i get over this so that i can love this blog even more
I love you too!! So, I will give you my best answer as to what might be up with Those Other INFJs. Maybe that will do a help?
1) INFJs that are in earlier stages of development can be really prone to falling into thought-traps of “I’m such a good person; I’m so sensitive; No one understands me or is as deep as I am.” This is more true of some enneagram types than others. From an outside perspective, it’s really frustrating to watch. I see other INFJ blogs do this on tumblr sometimes and I just want to shake them and say “NO you’re doing it wrong!” They’ll probably get over it eventually though. (I had my phase, and at the time I didn’t realize I was doing it).2) Ni, at least from my experience, can be kind of a dark and scary rabbit hole of doom. It has been since I was a kid. I’m now okay with that, and I like to explore and understand fully how it works. I’m also aware it’s not a super power by any means. I think there are some INFJs who would rather still keep some distance from their Ni, and treat it like it is some magic psychic super power - and just embrace those silly mysterious INFJ stereotypes along with that, because that’s easier. Sudden “eureka moments” and all that.3) Consider that they might not actually be INFJs. A lot of people mistype themselves as INFJs, and so I run into blogs of people self-typed where they’re an INFJ but are clearly something else. What clearly stands out is a post where an “INFJ” was explaining how she uses her “Ni” and “Fe” and it became clear she was talking about Ne+Fi. Other people were using that post to then inaccurately confirm their own self-typing, and it was a whole mess. Outside in the real world though, INFJs are particularly hard to spot. Even with it being my own type, it’s taken me a while to learn how to find and type others. Several I have typed only after being totally stumped on their typing and ruling out so many other options (including someone I used to be really close with). INFJs are sneaky in person. They hide behind Fe. I know INFJs in their 30s and 40s who at first I would swear were ENFJs. Or, if they’re teenagers, they might just be super awkward (that was me).
That terrifying moment when you find cavern after cavern after cavern AND IT'S SO OVERWHELMING YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND JUST TURN TAIL AND RUN BECAUSE YOU KNOW THERE ARE A MILLION BILLION CREEPERS AND ARCHERS IN THERE!
