Om was sitting on Brutha’s desk, afterward, eating a slice of melon. He could twist into being a Great God, like someone stretching after a long sleep; but he didn’t want to. Being a turtle had become comfortable. You don’t get good melon as a Great God.
“I was right, you know,” Om says. “About Vorbis. You should have bashed his head in with a rock.”
Brutha shrugged. “Maybe.”
“We almost died in the desert,” Om said, “and it only bought him, what, a week of life? Which he used to try to torture you to death, I might add. And then instead of dying by rock to the head he died by turtle to the head. Call that worth the sacrifice? I don’t call that worth the sacrifice.”
Brutha shrugged again. “You might be right.”
“I am right.” Om ate another bite of melon. It was juicy and fresh and perfectly ripe. Divinity had its privileges. “Do you really think that there was any chance we would have won if Vorbis stayed alive?”
There was a long silence.
“No.”
“So, there you go,” Om said.
“You can kill people if they’re trying to kill you,” Brutha said. “You shouldn’t kill people if they’re weak and helpless.”
“Get that from My holy books, did you?”
“No,” Brutha said quietly. “Your holy books don’t have nearly enough about not killing people who are helpless.”
“Ah. Well.”
Brutha took a piece of bread and dipped it in olive oil. “I don’t think I would be able to live with myself if I hadn’t saved him.”
“Bit precious, isn’t it,” Om said. “How many people died in the Quisition’s cells so that you could live with yourself?”
“I think,” Brutha said, “he deserved a chance to be better than he was.”
“Do you really think he would have taken it?”
“No.” Brutha chewed the bread. “But even so.”
Something about how every character of Chinese I’ve learned has a specific meaning satisfies a very deep conlanging part of my brain
each syllable SHOULD have its own meaning, dammit. that is ELEGANT

“And your great-uncle was a very kind man,” Wen Ning said, “I wish you had gotten to meet him, he pretended to be stern but he always had candies in his pockets for the children.”
“Wouldn’t I have gotten to meet him?” Lan Sizhui asked, thoughtlessly. “At the burial mounds.”
Wen Ning was silent.
“...oh,” Lan Sizhui said quietly. “Who killed him?”
“Is there any answer for that,” Wen Ning said, “that’s a good one?”
Lan Sizhui paused, and then shook his head.
“Wei Wuxian’s fierce corpses killed maybe a quarter of the Wen who died,” Wen Ning said quietly. “Maybe a fifth.”
“He’s your friend. He’s my--” Father died on his lips. “The husband of the man who raised me,” he finished lamely.
“Bad things happen in war,” Wen Ning said with finality.
“Did he change?” Lan Sizhui asked. “Is he a different person now?”
Wen Ning shook his head. “Wei Wuxian has never changed. His circumstances did.”
“And that’s-- he’s your best friend.”
“And if I hated him for what happened,” Wen Ning said, “what good would it do?”

Six Secrets meme: SLS Xue Yang
1 is an open secret
Xue Yang does crimes. Like, so many crimes.
2 is a secret the people close to your character know
Xue Yang is actually in love with Xiao Xingchen and not just in this relationship in order to humiliate Xiao Xingchen and get revenge for Xiao Xingchen not letting him mine Bitcoin on the coffeeshop's computers.
3 is a secret that your character wouldn't really care about getting out
Even though he has cosplayed Vriska, Xue Yang has never actually read Homestuck. He isn't patient enough.
4 is a secret exactly one person knows anything about
I can't give you one, but I can give you two. Two people know Xue Yang was responsible for the gruesome murders of the Chang family. Meng Yao knows because he had a nasty few weeks covering it up. Xiao Xingchen knows because Xue Yang told him in an attempt to sabotage the relationship because it's too good and Xiao Xingchen is going to hurt him and Xue Yang is going to make him hurt him at a PREDICTABLE time so THERE. (Xiao Xingchen just gave him a hug and said that he loved him no matter what.)
5 is a secret no one knows about but they sort of want to come out/to tell someone
Xue Yang used his leet hacking skillz to track down his parents. His dad's still alive. He has drafted an email to him but hasn't ever sent it.
6 is a secret no one knows and they desperately don't want anyone to know about.
Sometimes when Xiao Xingchen is sleeping Xue Yang watches him breathe and then kisses his cheek and feels embarrassing stupid gross pathetic things.
mad that there's no one I can practice my Laadan with just because it's ''''''''a radical feminist conlang from the 1980s and therefore no one speaks it anymore''''''
ladies and gentlebeings, it turns out that vaginal ultrasounds are fun if you make sure you’re turned on first
