For the record, she's 70, I'm 40. I introduced her to the Donghua because I knew she'd love it.
"I think your husband* has a few screws loose." (About Shi Qingxuan trying to turn Xie Lian into a woman.)
"Be nicer to him. I'd drop you at once." (About the Earth Master being rescued, then carried.)
"Are you sure this is your husband?" I confirmed this. "Oh honey, I think your husband is gay." (Same as above, pretty much only a blink later.)
She had an eye-rolling contest with Mu Qing when he and Feng Xin fought while Xie Lian was under arrest. She would have won.
"Oh, but he's whipped." (About Hua Cheng helping to free the prisoners in Qi Rong's lair. She believes he might not have bothered. I'm a bit on the fence about this, knowing how he made Eming - and more to the point, how he did not. But I can hardly tell her that.)
There was no verbal response to Qi Rong aside from an exhausted "Pitiful." She observed him with the same expression she might use on a particularly slow dog.
"Now there's a guy you know never got laid." (She said this when Shi Qingxuan threw her breasts at Feng Xin. I was howling with laughter, she thinks it was in agreement, but it was obviously a bit more hysteria-tinged.) She also noted my husband is a brat. I can't argue with that.
She asked me if Xie Lian killed that guy at the end. I told her if she wants to know that she'll either have to be VERY patient until season 3 comes - or be moderately patient and read the books where that answer doesn't come at once, either.
*I told her that on the fuck - marry - kill list Shi Qingxuan is number two. I told her that fuck is Pei Ming because that man has experience. The way Xuan Ji clings to him, he must have some skill, too. Kill is Shi Wudu, but I did not say that to her, just that it's a character she hasn't met. She knows I dislike the Water Master, but she doesn't know how much. I didn't give that answer lightly, in my defence. There are very few characters I resent enough in TGCF, if any, but I had to name someone.)
Hello! Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to five other writers 🥰
Haha, this is fun:
Air (and the sequels): Because a massive ton of research went into my first ever hard sci-fi fic. That thing had so many comments on the original platform, too, but it no longer exists, which makes me a bit sad. (Star Trek, K/S)
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead: Because I'm really, really proud of this one. There will be a sequel, too. (TGCF, Beefleaf and Hualian)
Counting Blurry Stars: Because it has what must be the most wholesome pair of greenflasgs in history. (Yuri!!! on Ice - it's marked incomplete, but I thought it was finished at the stage it's currently at, haha.)
Dye Their Flowers With My Blood: Because it's the fic my younger self would have loved: A redemption story for at least one of a group of villains. (Inuysha, but a Shichinintai fic.)
Tug-o-War: Because it took me ages and the thing fought back, but I love what it became. (Witcher x Chronicles of the Raven; several rare-pairs: Hirad/Ilkar, Thraun/Will [which I'll tell everyone who listens is canon], and Regis/Shani, which blindsided me a bit.)
You well would you hide if you didn't expect to be sought?
Okay. I need someone to make an amv or some such for Nieyao with Control the Storm by Delain. I swear, if anyone tried to actively write a Nieyao song, they couldn't get it better.
So. Volunteers?
Okay this is lovely. They have an extremely lovely longfic, too*, which I've just read and I have no words.
The Waves are Rising and Rising, to be found on Ao3. Seriously. It's so, so good.
happy valentines day! have some happy 3zun, based on a lovely moment from the Good Mornin'! sequence in Singin In The Rain :)
Reblogging this because I'm relieved I'm not the only one who sees him like this. Quan Yizhen's whole story was like looking into a cruel mirror (minus the supernatural stuff), and people acting like he's stupid is ... not great. He isn't. See, I refuse to believe I'm stupid, but if you don't spell stuff out for me, I won't see it. Not in a lifetime. I don't even blame Yin Yu because ... well, most people work differently and get hints. But I can't blame Yizhen, either, or I'll have to rip my own wonky head off.
quan yizhen did NOTHING wrong, this is entirely yin yu’s fault for failing to communicate i don’t give a FUCK
Adding that if anyone needs an example of a character that acts VERY feminine and uses ore, I'd like them to take a good, hard look at Jakotsu, who also uses 俺.
Victor is MLM and uses he/him pronouns!
Nothing Sweeter Than His Peace
I threatened to post a Huaibao fic, didn't I? Well, my lovely beta returned it to me, so here we go: One canon-compliant oneshot.
After watching CQL, I feel the need to write a fanfic. Because of course I do. Now I just need to finish my current project and then read the books.
Until I have, my ability to predict what it'll be like is limited, but I do know that it'll be a Xiyao fic. I know from my friend that things end a bit differently in the books, but I don't know how. She thinks I can work with it. 😅 She did not word this in a promising manner.
Oh, and there is one more thing. Jin Guangyao is going to have a huge, HUGE praise kink. I'm prepared to die on that hill.
The title might be 'No Bonds Can Hold Me', but that might very well change.
Oh and the friend I mentioned is the same one who asked me to write beefleaf. There is a tendency there, but this time no persuasion was necessary.
We successfully rescued a tiefling child from harpies ...
... recruited the Blade of Frontiers ...
... and got abducted by a devil.
We also freed Sazza successfully,
... adopted a dog ...
... and found Karlach!
Then, wisely, we went after those paladins she's after. Those are level 5. I'm level 3. BUT ... it worked out. Maybe using a guide would spare me my nerves.
We also got very poisoned in the cellar afterwards (tends to happen when the person who can disarm traps is staying home), but we've grabbed all we could carry and ... that will have to do for today.
Yeah this is gonna be something I'll reblog any time it shows up in my feed because it's so wholesome. I love them.
happy valentines day! have some happy 3zun, based on a lovely moment from the Good Mornin'! sequence in Singin In The Rain :)
