Dye Their Flowers With My Blood - Men That Strove with Gods

How unpredictable do you like your friends, and why is the answer, 'Yes'?

... And the juniors he lured to Yi City. And the cats he killed in order to do that. Making NHS out to be a sort of saint is so odd to me. Most of the characters have done a lot of unnecessary and cruel things. And the margin between them is really, really thin.

Like, look. I don't hate Huaisang. I don't hate anyone.* But thinking that butter wouldn't melt in his mouth just means he hoodwinked you, too. Congratulations.

*Okay. Notable exceptions: Jin Guangshan, whose existence I tend to forget, and Wen Ruohan, who's a turd. I'd like to add Sect Leader Yao, but he doesn't even deserve that much attention, and Wen Chao ... well, neither nature nor nurture worked in his favour so I'm on the fence there.

sorry to be a hater but i gotta say. fics where other characters find out about the full shit nhs pulled in his anti-jgy revenge quest, and then act as if nhs did some Great Moral Good.....are kinda missing the point

pretty sure that one of the Major Points of mdzs is that revenge isnt morally justified and should not be glorified....if jc was wrong to hold a grudge against the wens for literally killing almost everyone he grew up with, then nhs is also wrong to put innocent third parties only tangentially related to jgy into the line of fire in his pursuit of revenge :/

Dye Their Flowers With My Blood - The Long Day Wanes

Some nights are very long, and not for good reasons.

Dye Their Flowers With My Blood - A Bringer of New Things

People from your past don't always stay there.

This is pretty much exactly my customer service face.

This German native speaker is currently howling with laughter. :D

so this European clothing retailer decided to advertise their jean cuts on youtube and it's unintentionally the funniest shit I've seen today. why? well.

now important context here: in German, die (pronounced 'dee') is just a feminine article, it literally means "the".

but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn't use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think "they want me to die how?" it keeps getting funnier.

I mean, holy shit

i will use these as reaction images until i die

reblog with one creative goal that you would like to pursue in 2025 in the tags

it doesn’t have to be ‘big’ and there is no pressure to complete said goal. but i’d love to hear from writers, artists, performers, academics, designers, coders, and so on! 🤍

if it’s a creative outlet, it’s included. let’s inspire each other ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead

New Chapter:

Sure, Shi Qingxuan and He Xuan have a lot they absolutely have to talk about. But maybe a stroll through the Royal Capital is not the time and place for it.

Progress Report: In Truth No Beauty, in Lies No Refuge

The first draft of my sequel to Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead, is - as of now - complete. Now I have to proofread and edit - heavily, in a few spots.

I have heard that whole thing about gardeners and architects. I've always thought of myself as the latter: I usually know when I start writing where I'm going and how I'll get there. This time, I am really glad I didn't post while I wrote, because I wouldn't be anywhere near the finishing line if I couldn't go back and adapt to changes in my plans. (That is why one of my older fics, Tug-o-War, took me almost five years. I've since learned a lesson: Finish before posting.)

So I'll need a bit for this process, then I'm sending it to my beta. And once it's back, I can start to post.

The title will be In Truth No Beauty, in Lies No Refuge. My working title was 'High Water Over Hell', but I was increasingly unhappy with that (because anything that would have made that make sense never made it into the text). I'll let you know when it goes to my beta and when she's cleared it. :)
