Huaisang never has any friends again sorry he has burned every bridge and also murdered some cats on the way

[lansplaining]

listen this isn't even only about me wanting him to face consequences

this is the fuck around and find out story. nobody gets to escape consequences for the things they do. nobody gets to go back to the way it was before. it is bad storytelling and in complete defiance of the story's themes if huaisang alone inexplicably gets to tear the world apart and then happily revert to his teenage years and get all his old friends back as if nothing happened, as if he didn't expose the way anyone-- even someone who seems like they're sitting back and don't care and can't be bothered-- is capable of abusing society's mechanisms of vengeance and prejudice for their own ends. if he alone can rip his heart and soul out for revenge but somehow put them back again afterwards. that's not how it works here.

I hope it makes sense, and other people enjoy!

not to throw an mdzs apple of discord out there in the year of our lord 2025, but i've been thinking about how it's arguable that nie huaisang's approach to revenge is pretty comparable to xue yang's.

if i were really committed to yeeting the apple, I'd have titled this post "nie huaisang is just as morally corrupt as xue yang" or something, but that's not entirely what I mean or like, what exactly has got me stuck on thinking about it. i suspect it's the strange obsession mdzs fandom has with "proving" characters' purity or damnation one way or another at the cost of the story's core themes that's really soured huaisang as a character for me while xue yang still delights me with his horrors. to my knowledge, there isn't a large contingent of fans arguing that xue yang was justified (阿弥fucking陀佛) but there's definitely a significant number arguing similar for huaisang.

i've said before that "there's no equivalent justice so xue yang actually kind of has a point" (despite being totally unjustified!!), and it's interesting to me that I am disinclined to try and understand nie huaisang in the same way. perhaps it's because xue yang's selfishness and excessive revenge comes from a place of disenfranchisement while nie huaisang's comes from a place of privilege. or maybe it's just because nie huaisang already has enough defenders.

something about how nie huaisang privileges the loss of his brother over everyone else's losses and lives is really makes me balk. to get back at jin guangyao for nie mingjue's death, huaisang is prepared to let other people suffer loss in the same way he has as compensation. his revenge, other people's loss; xue yang's finger, other people's lives. the reasoning's not dissimilar. in the same way that xue yang lies to xiao xingchen and tricks him into killing someone he loves, nie huaisang does the same thing to lan xichen: xue yang for his own entertainment, nie huaisang to keep his own hands clean.

huaisang is a really effective driver of the narrative in the present-day arc because his revenge plot is so chaotic (and frankly, not very good) and scattershot. interesting situations arise because of all the collateral damage that huaisang is perfectly prepared for other people to sustain in the course of his plan--it doesn't matter to him. whether the juniors live or die is immaterial, and the potential suffering of their loved ones is also immaterial to him because all of it can be used to further his own objectives. that makes for a really cool plot device because everything happening to our main characters is a byproduct of a plan that has very little to do with them personally. they're the main characters to us, but the side characters in the bigger plot they're entangled in. the bigger plot is actually just like. not really about wangxian at all! they're just player pieces that nie huaisang is trying to use in his conflict between jin guangyao. wangxian get their shot at a happy ending because nie huaisang decided that they might be useful, not because it was something they earned or deserved which i find to be a very compelling way to approach their story.

overly simplistic and reductionist summary: huaisang is a villain and i wish more people would let him be one.

the inherent dramedy of the 12th doctor getting bombarded with 6483 counts of abandonment based trauma the day he died and then verbally going "to my future self: live laugh love : )" in an attempt to make 13 emotionally stable

[artronenergy]

the 12th doctor after having his surrogate family ripped from him and being seemingly abandoned by his oldest friend: maybe if I give myself a pep talk about being hopeful and happy before I die I will internalize that and end up genuinely happy as a counterpoint to this trauma

the 13th doctor: if I do not present as happy my new surrogate family will abandon me and I will die .

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

"where did the 15th Doctor GO when he broke the fairy circle!!!1!" he was LITERALLY in barbieland fighting for men's rights. that took precedence over ruby's nuclear war mommy issues thing. sorry.

I am begging everyone who has ever bemoaned about Hollywood only making sequels and IP movies to go see Sinners in theaters. It has the creative team behind Black Panther working on it and their talent shines through in the cinematography, music, costuming, EVERYTHING. It's a completely original screenplay written by Ryan Coogler and if you want to support original movies, go see it in theaters.

[lovelikehomicide-ao3]

I saw it. The music was fucking PHENOMENAL. I don't think I've ever heard music incorporated into a horror movie this well. It elevated everything from the acting, to the costumes, to the atmosphere.

10/10. Perfect film.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀

The database can be filtered by representation, subgenre, whether the book is currently in print, and more; additionally, it includes my own ratings & brief thoughts on the ones i have read, if anyone needs a suggestion on places to start! (or feel free to shoot me an ask for a more personalized recommendation)

Cheesy Garlic Cob Loaf Dip

Imagine cheesy garlic bread in dip form, because this is it. Made with bitey red Leicester cheese, cheddar, sour cream and cream cheese with a huge hit of garlic and seasonings.

[seeveekat]

Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!

I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.

[cheese-sample-official]

so my store's cafe is getting taken out bc it was a money pit but the smoothies are good, here's the recipes

most substitutions work just fine

also these recipes make more than 12oz and 24oz, especially of you're heavy handed

[cheese-sample-official]

there is also a now off menu smoothie called Mixed Berry that's just equal parts strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries with honey or agave and ice

[cheese-sample-official]

I think we could all use a break from *gestures vaguely* all of this and have a nice smoothie : )

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

[astriiformes]

I'm a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn't sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list -- though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I've lurked in over the years. For what it's worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I've been here for over a decade. But if there's anything that truly doesn't feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.

(And apologies, but I couldn't seem to find Goncharov among the website's listings)
