srsly tho what is jiang cheng thinking, staying single for 16 years?  Lan Zhan I get, because he technically did acquire an heir pretty early on, which means Lan Xichen now has two presumptive heirs and is also off the hook for marrying right away.  Jin Guangyao DID get married and produce an heir, even though it, uh, didn’t take, and Jin Ling was already first in line to inherit.  But Jiang Cheng? 

is the LAST SURVIVING MEMBER OF THE IMMEDIATE JIANG FAMILY. Who’s even left?? Second cousins? People in the sect but not the clan?  Jiang Cheng HAS to get married and have a kid. Politically keeping Jin Ling as his heir is a terrible idea, because Jin Ling is going to be the Jin Sect Leader, and if he also inherits Yunmeng that upsets the balance of power for all four sects. The Lans and Nies and everyone remaining in the Jiang sect have GOT to be constantly getting on Jiang Cheng’s ass about having a kid. EVERY CULTIVATION CONFERENCE FOR THE LAST SIXTEEN YEARS it’s a topic of discussion. There are always dancing girls! They always pay Jiang Cheng Special Favors! Sometimes beloved aristocrat daughters show up naked in his bed! everyone’s just like “WE DON’T CARE IF IT’S A JIN GUANGYAO SITUATION, PLEASE, SECT LEADER JIANG, YOU’RE GIVING EVERYONE ULCERS WITH YOUR ANGRY CELIBACY”  but Jiang Cheng is legitimately too fucking sad to consider it, and doesn’t realize he’s too fucking sad to consider it. he just finds a fatal flaw in every single woman he’s presented with, and is too careful to sire any illegitimate children. He also thinks everyone is panicking and overreacting because there’s plenty of time. No one’s getting on Huiasang for staying unmarried.  (This is because Huaisang hasn’t been sect-leader for the full sixteen years, and also because Huaisang secretly puts it about that he pays a woman in Qinghe money every month, and everyone thinks it means he’s taking care of one of Mingjue’s bastards, and that if he doesn’t have an heir himself he’ll acknowledge it.) 

anyway at the first cultivation conference after Lan Wangji is made chief cultivator, the annual question of Will Sect Leader Jiang Get Married Already, Please, He’s Not Getting Any Younger comes up, and then Jiang Cheng shocks everybody by saying that he formally acknowledges Wei Wuxian as his brother and the first disciple and therefore heir apparent of Jiang-Yunmeng, and so can everyone get off his ass about marriage already 

jiang cheng has not informed wei wuxian of this. he hasn’t seen wei wuxian since guanyin temple. a vein pulses in lan zhan’s forehead with fury. jiang cheng sees no problem with any of this.  huaisang thinks it’s very funny.

i don't remember the books so well, what is legolas' personality like in them? all i remember is tht the books and movie where massively different?

Oh my dear anon. I could go on about book Legolas for hours.

Book Legolas is a sassy little sh*t who skips on the surface of the snow when everyone else is drowning in it up to their waists and carrying the four hobbits. Book Legolas sleeps with his eyes open. He watches Aragorn throw himself to the groud and listen to the sound of running horses, only to say afterwards, “yeah, there are a hundred and five of them, they’re all blond and they all have spears nbd“. Book Legolas cries that Gollum escaped grom Mirkwood right after everyone was like, “phew, it’s good that Thranduil’s elves keep an eye on him, what could go wrong???“. He screams all the time, and occasionally drops his bow too. He kills a warg, shooting it right in the throat with a burning arrow. Book Legolas is a trees stan. Book Legolas walk away singing “To the Sea! To the Sea!“. Book Legolas is not afraid of zombies, thank you very much. He addreses his friends “children“, even though he is probably the youngest elf in Middle-Earth that we know of. And of course, book Legolas takes none of your bs, builds his own grey boat because who says he can’t sail on his own ship right, packs his best friend and shows up in Valinor 120 years late with Starbucks and a dwarf.

"Oh, so I’m still the Doctor, then?”

My absolute favourite thing about Rose Tyler is the way she accepted the Doctor’s regeneration. She struggled for a bit, but in less than 24 hours, she knew he was still the same man. 

If you question my counting, remember that this exchange:

ROSE: Doctor! (Rose throws him another sword.) DOCTOR: Oh, so I’m still the Doctor, then? ROSE: No arguments from me! 

Happened immediately after the Doctor stated he was in the first 15 hours of his regeneration cycle. And really, taking 12-15 hours to wrap your mind around the fact that your best mate/the man you’re head-over-heels for can completely change his appearance isn’t much at all. 

But what I love the most about this is that once she accepts it, she never waffles, never struggles, never goes back. It wasn’t, “Okay, you’re Doctor-esque at least… I can see that you have Doctor traits in you. I’ll accept you on a trial basis, but if you don’t act the way I expect you to, I’ll stop believing you’re the same man.” 

Frankly, Rose does a better job accepting regeneration than Doctor Who fans do, and we have the benefit of knowing that it’s a narrative construct. (Or maybe that makes it harder to accept? I’m not sure, but it’s an interesting contrast to note.)

And years later, when she’s standing on Bad Wolf Bay for the second time, it takes her even less time to understand and accept that Tentoo is another regeneration of the Doctor. He’s still the same man. That’s what regeneration means–he’s the same man, with a new case. 

I can’t think of a non-Time Lord who understands that *better than Rose Tyler. Her only concern, once she accepted he was still the Doctor, was if his changes were deep enough that he wouldn’t want to travel with her anymore. Once he assured her that he’d love for her to come, her last qualm was washed away. 

On New Earth, when the Doctor references back to their very first trip together, she immediately jumps in with the reminiscing and says, “That was our first date.” (emphasis mine) I don’t think it was accidental on the Doctor’s part that he mentioned something from his previous regeneration, and I love that Rose does an unspoken, “Yes, I see your reminder that you’re still the same man, and I’ll raise it with a reminder of how close we were and still are.”

I love Rose Tyler because she has such an innate understanding and acceptance of who the Doctor is that despite how bizarre the concept of regeneration is, she knew he was the same man. Not a different version of the same man, or a different man who kept his name and memories but was a completely different person. The Doctor is the same man, always. 

Rose’s understanding of that is one of the reasons I ship every Doctor x Rose Tyler. It’s not about her being more important than other companions. It’s about her knowing the Doctor, no matter his face, and loving him because she loves the deepest part of who he is. It’s canon that Rose loved three regenerations of the Doctor. Why wouldn’t she love any others she met?

And–flip side here–this is the same reason I love stories where Rose has been altered enough by Bad Wolf to regenerate. I love seeing him show the same completely non-superficial love for her. I know that it’s easier for him to accept because this is natural to him, but still. So often in media we see men who are fixated on the appearance of the women they’re dating. I want to see a man who can watch his beloved change her entire appearance and still love her just as much as he did before.

There are lots of other reasons to love Rose Tyler. Her courage, her determination to stand for what she believes in… But this is one of my favourites.

*There are a few who understand it as well as she does, or at least close to it. Sarah Jane and the Brig come to mind. But better? I’m hard-pressed to think of any.
