god-damn, Marianas Trench is so TADC-coded, it's actually kind of scary. Ever After is the perfect album for it and there's way too many of their other songs

(also This Means War is the official anthem of funnybunny, don't @ me)

For my mental health I wanna think at least a few times in their lives Jiang Cheng willingly asked Wei Wuxian in the dead of night to practice archery or spar with him because that was the one time of the day they didn't have to worry about be compared to one another or judged constantly by anybody just for standing side by side

To all my lovelies with psychosis, psychotic disorders, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, and any other related mental illnesses:

We're going to be okay. Reach out to someone you trust, have them help you verify information, take care of yourself and remember that scammers are assholes who take advantage of the vulnerable. I love you, be safe <3

People who mainly ship side couples in any mxtx novel are interesting and a little delusional (me included) cause when you stick to the side of people who will write full on essays on that couple and make it so you think damn mxtx might as well have made them canon

And then you leave that bubble and actually read the novels and figure out that 70% of them had like one major scene alone together and rest was just crumbs that the shippers put a magnifying glass over, and that said crumbs are burnt cause they always end so so badly...

I talked about this with some friends already, but it is legitimately so odd to watch this shit go down in real time. Specifically it feels like people are just straight up mourning each other more than TikTok itself. I can't exactly pinpoint why communities on TikTok feel so different than anywhere else, but I don't think I've been part of something where it actually feels like wow I'm never gonna see these people again. That, along with the fact that a huge chunk of Americans are losing their jobs and/or going back to feeling as isolated as the pandemic made them feel, just feels like a real blow that can't be fixed even if TikTok somehow makes a comeback like years later down the line or something.

You can call it chronically online or brainrot or whatever the case may be, but seeing people post their goodbyes today has actually made me tear up. Be kinder to whoever tries to start over again here or anywhere else.

You can't tell me in a modern au that binghe, wangji, and hua cheng don't write x readers of their celebrity crushes who also happen to be their husbands under anonymous accounts

Their husbands know the fics exists (not who wrote them god bless)

Only one who isn't amused by it is shen yuan and it's stupid cause I imagine he critiques every single thing in them and rant in front of binghe and then proceeds to do everything binghe wrote he would do

I know xuexiao is enemies to lovers gone very wrong but technically it's also just xue yang suffering through a one sided enemies to lovers phase while xingchen is living out his wholesome friends to lovers fantasy in blissful ignorance

Sometimes I remember song lan never made xingchen laugh, and it's both so sad and kinda funny to think maybe song lan saw xingchen laugh a handful a times that wasn't because of him and maybe it got to him a little before but he didn't think about it too much when they spent a majority of their time together alone anyway like he's seen more of xingchen's intimate sides than the people who made him laugh had

And then he just comes across xingchen smiling so widely with xue yang of all fucking people like he's probably having the most fun song lan's ever seen from him like I just know half the reason why he attacked xue yang before going to xingchen first was cause he was drowning in vinegar
