' here. take this gun. don't pull the trigger unless it's absolutely necessary. ' gugu is teaching her gun safety today shh

IT'S THE FIRST TIME she's ever properly held a firearm in her bare hands. she's always seen her father's firearm, properly stored and always out of sight. while madeleine had no interest in using firearms as her primary choice of combat - one thing that she's learned is that while she may have preferences it is better she is knowledgeable, with more, the better. it'd have her be more adaptable and able to continue fighting especially in a situation where her trusted claymore is unavailable.

she's grateful that it's her gugu showing her the basics - turning the firearm in her hand around, seeing it from different angles and feeling how it weighs in her hand. it's strange - for something relatively small it's heavy, almost like a reminder of the damage and lethality it can cause.

« of course. are you only showing me basics today ? » while not against a lesson on gun safety, there's a certain itch that craves for more - would he be teaching her how to shoot as well ? she's eager, her enthusiasm not nearly as well concealed as she thinks, as she glances back at shen zechuan.

🍭 🎀 mwahs

Very Specific (if not a little belated) Munday Asks (very very happily accepting !!!)

🍭 Say something nice about your appearance.

Me literally talking to my coworker briefly today about how we'd wanna change xyz about our faces and flying to turkey to fix it sdkmf. Horrible I know but it do be like that sometimes on this god damn bitch of an earth that has women constantly scrutinizing how they look.

uhhgmgmgmhm I get told a lot that my eyes are very big and round. They're normal size behind my very high prescription glasses that shrinks them so when I take them off I just look like O_O a bug all the time sdkmf. My sister calls me Buggy cuz of it lol.

🎀 Say something nice about your character.

I actually rewatched Sleeping Beauty yesterday hehehe. So I'll say the nice / cool things about his combat stuff I realized I loved so much all over again when I was watching. I always loved from the moment he escapes the dungeon to the end. Cuz, for one thing, the man literally got freed from his shackles, feels the movement of his wrists, and literally just starts BOLTING out before the Fairies stop him. Like he was literally about to just shove and punch his way out of the Forbidden Mountain ?? sdkfm ?? And when he's changed to the wall and Maleficent the MISTRESS OF ALL EVIL taunts him he still tries to go at her bare fisted sdkfms ??? He slides down a literal cliff of jagged rocks, rides straight through an exploding forest of thorn and fights his way through it. Charges headfirst into dragonfire. Smacks that bitch on the nose. Scaled a massive cliff fucking one handed ??? LMAO ???

And then I noticed that right at the end of the fight, he’s literally right there on the cliff edge, right? Here:

So bear with me. Like, right after he strikes Maleficent through the heart, the ledge is crumbling beneath him as she falls. The rocks are collapsing, a whole chunk of the mountain is going down with this giant fuckass, fire-breathing, million-ton dragon and he doesn't fall. By the end, he makes it to the other side.

How??

He literally had to have jumped onto her as she was falling. Like actually scaled her or ran across her collapsing body mid-fall to get to the other side and not fucking die. That’s the only way. Which means after after stabbing this dragon through the heart he used her body as a bridge out of a collapsing cliffside. LMAO. It's insane and unhinged and I love it. The theater that goes on in my head when I think about it is so much fun. Like when Mulan is like "Get off the roof. Get off the roof. Get off the roof." as it's exploding slkfmsdlf.

This man is such a blueprint prince for me and truly did fight like hell, fight WITH literal hell itself????, for his happy ending. I love this dumbass character so much.

❝ Ce'an ... it's bitter. ❞ said with a very obvious whine. post qudu :3 ?

There are few sights and sounds Xiao Chiye loves more than the pure brat lilt of Shen Zechuan's voice when he wants to be coddled. That dynamic rise and fall, the delicate glissando when he sighs his frustrations out accompanied by the subtle drama of his bottom lip being pushed out in a fantastic pout.

Xiao Chiye laughs, reaches for the little honey candies he keeps hidden away from Lanzhou. Grins as he holds the golden lozenge between his teeth and pinches at his wife's chin to draw him into a kiss. "Better?" he asks, having parted Lanzhou's soft lips and pushed the honey candy against his tongue. "Or does this prefectural lord require more sweetness than honey can provide?"

He grins anew, pressing the pad of his thumb upon the swell of Shen Zechuan's plush bottom lip. "Should we see what other sweetness Lanzhou prefers?"

“I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”

lán wàngjī’s gaze lifted to the speaker, assessing him anew. the man’s elegance was a polished blade and his words a carefully laid snare. the air around him held the dense weight of calculation, not cultivation. this was the man who had summoned them to resolve a supernatural disturbance in his territory — a patron, not merely a stranger.

　“ mn, ” 　he acknowledged with a soft hum and a polite nod. 　“ my cultivation partner and i were informed of a matter requiring our attention. we're at your service. ” 　his words were a quiet reaffirmation of their purpose there.

prompts. always accepting.
