not to be a bother with my ramble, but as a Certified AU Enthusiast™, i'm curious about spiderqing. in the old spiderman movies, we see peter parker being excited and whatnot about his powers due to not having had chances to be higher than other people before (which-- fair. his financial state wasn't so good either.)
so my thought is, wouldn't the emergence of sudden new powers be interesting as well as alarming to someone like mu qing who definitely didn't have a lot of opportunities at that age, either? since another post mentioned that he could've ascended AFTER getting spider powers since jun wu would want to keep an eye on him, then it's only logical that he would've been in his young adult era when bitten.
besides that, a spider sent by jw that specifically intended to bite xie lian would probably be very careful about not being caught or stepped on. what i'm thinking, and i could always be wrong, is that the spider was actually crawling towards xl and on the verge of biting him before mq simply grabbed it and proceeded to simply drop it out a window- but not after being bit. yeet.
not relevant, but this au also makes the scene where feng xin & mu qing are captured in a butterfly "web" and wrapped up in its silk 10x funnier.
AAGJSKDKD MQ YEETING THE SPIDER ONLY TO GET BIT LMFAOO but you're so right the emergence of spider powers will definitely interest mu qing a lot and in some ways even boost his morale and confidence to do things he was never able to before
HOWEVER i also firmly believe that him getting powers would scare mq a lot in the way that he doesn't know what people would think if they discovered his powers or if they discovered HE was the one that got powers (something something unsuitable and undeserving) so he just keeps everything under very tight wraps and sneaks around to do spider duties when no one is looking. i think it would make his ascension and absolute relief for him bc then all the weird stuff and awkward encounters he barely got out of due to spider powers back when he was only mortal or a middle official can now be excused as godly powers or whatever
AND YOURE SO RIGHT ABT THE SILK ASHDKDKD honestly one of my first thoughts back when i was drafting spiderqing was "omg whose silk would be stronger, hc's butterfly silk or mq's spider silk" and ive been wanting to draw a showdown scene between the two ever since SHSHSKKDKDKDK the implications that either a) for all his powers, mq's silk is still weaker than hc's therefore he cant get out, or b) his silk is strong enough and he knows he technically can get out of hc's silk using his own but CAN'T for the sake of keeping up appearances bc fucking feng xin is there so he just. resigns himself to being ""helplessly"" bound by butterfly silk ARE BOTH VERY FUNNY
Last week, I had a Free Book credit from Thriftbooks, something to do with point adjustments, but, I mean, a free book?? I jumped on that. Lol. I ordered a book & a DVD, and they arrived today! I ended up picking out The Fair Folk, a collection of short stories about the Fae, edited by Marvin Kaye. It features a short story from the author of my all-time favorite book (The Forgotten Beasts of Eld), Patricia A. McKillip. (Which I'll admit was the initial draw for me, lol) However, I also couldn't resist picking up Taylor Swift's Journey To Fearless DVD b/c it was $5 (the book was also $5) and it's been on my Taylor Swift list for a while. Lol. So this has been a mini Thriftbooks haul!

Simon, this isn’t middle school. It’s life or death.
Sebastian
Why's no one talking 'bout how tf Sebastian knows everything??? He knows about Jace and Maia (have we ever seen him at the bar??? Has he even met Maia????) and he knows how Jace and Clary suddenly learned that they're not siblings and that they've had feelings for each other.... did I miss something ooooorr????
Malec
I think I have to rewatch the episode because Malec had me cracking up so hard I think I missed 99% of the episode.....
Art of @sleepylavender-themonarchcrown character Villena. She's hawthorns (older?) sister.
She is truly the epitome of the courtly fae. Cruel, dangerous, and unearthly in her beauty
She is dressed in the finest spiders silk sewn together by pure silver.
