[holy--milk]

it's kinda wild to see people confidently draw parallels between liu qingge and mu qing 'cuz like. that never happened. those two barely have anything in common except for the fandom deciding that they're similar for some reason???

you know who's actually the TGCF version of liu qingge?

quan yizhen.

obsessed with martial arts ✅️

has no qualms about beating you up if you anger or irritate him ✅️

doesn't know how to socialise ✅️

Shen Qingqiu: Of course any reasonable relationship will start with a few “no”s, but like, anyone who really wants you will just ignore that.

Luo Binghe, a person who really wants him but also knows about consent: listens when Shen Qingqiu tells him that he doesn’t want to see lbh, he doesn’t want to share a bed, he doesn’t want to engage in a kink, etc.

One possible reason why all the male companions in BG3 are insanely buff with chiseled abs is because not one of them has remembered to eat or hydrate properly in the last few years.

Astarion - literally starved and does constant "physical labour"

Wyll - running up and down the Sword Coast, going full Bear Grylls at times.

Gale - holed up in a tower hyperfocusing on research. Magic items rarely contain calories.

Random take but ironically, it's bakudeku who taught me what love really is and loving the concept of love despite me being a shipper and hating it for years (love and the ship). Like, they're the reason I was inspired to grow and develop as a person and be loving to others instead of wanting to rip their head off and using their body as a chew toy. I mean, I still get the urge but it's much more less now thankfully.

Funny that my most hated ship changed me for the better, even though I wasn't as vocal as the others with the vitriol.

Idk if anyone’s thought about this, but imagine:

One of the batkids being chosen as a green lantern.

Seriously, picture it.

All of the bats are pretty willful, so a ring of willpower choosing any of them wouldn’t actually be that surprising but there would be shock and copious amounts of Chaos.

I’m torn between it being Steph or Damian

I personally think we need more Josh Hutcherson covered in blood

New person here, but I'm just here to spread my new HC. Alastor is a pretty crier (Cryer or however you spell it but he cries prettily). Like somehow Husk fed him a drink which makes him sensitive – accidentally, mind you – and suddenly Alastor is crying over a sob story a sinner told them while asking to join the hotel. Now, he notices he's crying easily so he covers his face which people don't expect but when Charlie lowers his arms they see that he is an attractive crier. Like, so pretty that it is hard to put into words and so pretty that people would either want to make him cry for the rest of his life or would never want to commit a bad deed again. He looks really innocent like he hasn't committed a bad deed and when he cries he looks saintly – even more so than angels themselves. And they are all dumbfounded. Like what the hell? Why is someone who's committed massacres, eating all his victims alive, crying like this? Like when crying he looks so innocent angels would just take him to heaven the instant they see him cry. And then the hotel is split between two; people who want to make him cry and people who don't. The ones who don't either didn't see him cry, or are part of the ones who want to become good after seeing him cry. And then there's Charlie who is planning to use his crying face as a last resort to stop the extermination.

Haha. My favouritism is showing. I love Alastor and believe he is a pretty crier with all my heart. Please don't hate me for thinking Al cries prettily...

I love it when Alastor breaks peoples expectations 😌 Who'd ever expect one of the bloodiest, craziest Overlords in Pentagram City would have the prettiest crying face. I think seeing Alastor cry at all would've shocked them enough, but being pretty while he does it????? The fuck???

Also, when you mentioned people wanting to make him cry because he looks so pretty, my mind went to some very dirty places ◉_◉

The subversion of faen fatale in Last Twilight; and why I love it

Can I just talk for a moment how much I appreciate P'Aof dismantling faen fatale tropes, as well as the notion of 'guys and girls can't be close friends' that is so prevalent in Asian society? Because not only did he do a fabulous job with Ink in Bad Buddy, but he's going above and beyond with it in Last Twilight. We have Gee, who could have so easily been someone who was interested in Day, and come in between their relationship (I was praying for her to not turn out to be a faen fatale when she was introduced). But instead, she's a great friend to Day, and she helps him regain another piece of his life by pushing him to join her at the bar. And then we have Porjai. She's Mhok's ex girlfriend, and the narrative has presented chance after chance for her to regain feelings for Mhok, and present problem for Mhok and Day in so many different ways, but none of them were ever taken.

And part of this feels very intentional to me. Showing us two female characters that could have very easily become barriers to the relationship, they didn't. We see it in the preliminary interactions between Day and Gee, where there's some time where Gee's character could have easily gone one of two ways. And you will not believe how immensely relieved I was when the show made it abundantly clear that Gee is a friend to Day, and nothing more. Similarly, Porjai is introduced to us as Mhok's girlfriend, and later as his ex. It would have been so easy for her to 'catch feelings again', like when Mhok comes to her aid with her ex (forgot his name, won't bother reminding myself). I feel like the show is trying to put the point forward that guys and girls can be friends, and that the girl doesn't always have to be a homewrecker.

And let me tell you this, I absolutely adore that P'Aof is doing this. The trope of female homewreckers, (or faen fatale as we like to call them) is extremely prevalent not only in bls, but in asian media in general. I've seen it everywhere, from bollywood movies to add drama, to serials that have been running for half my lifetime, to keep the viewers watching. I've watched it enough times to have a genuine hatred of it. There's a number of issues with the trope that I'm not going to get into right now, but I'm sure you're all familiar with. But the greatest point is, that it often takes away from a good story. It's a tired trope that serves only to add drama and disinterest the viewers from the story. Last Twilight (and Bad Buddy too) has had a very concrete storyline from the start. The purpose and aim of this story have been clear from the beginning, and in the most recent episode, the show has started to dig a little deeper into Day and Mhok's stories, relationship, and shown us how they're growing together. A faen fatale would absolutely ruin the slow, delicate journey these two are on of growing together, which is where I come to August.

Honestly, I was a little afraid when I realized that Day liked August. Because Day and Mhok have been slowly, but surely growing closer, and they're slowly letting down walls built up due to grief, and loss. But August only serves to help us further understand Day. I'm struggling slightly to put this into words, but in the single episode we had with August, I've learned so much more about Day, and how he works. And, his introduction also highlighted Mhok's caregiving instinct once more, his tendency to always put Day first. There are rare instances when introducing a past crush does so much for a story (another being Bad Buddy, P'Aof the wonder that you are), and I'm absolutely eating this up.

The last scene absolutely crushed me in a way that only Ep 5 [4/4] bls by P'Aof can. Once again, the resubversion of the Faen Fatale trope. When I first saw August, my first reaction was expecting faen fatale, 'and now he's going to take away Day's attention and Mhok's going to leave the flower and we'll all be sad". Well, the last part happened but it was so much more heartbreaking the way it was done. Once again, proving how much better a story can be without the trope that with. I won't lie, I'm still scared about how the knowledge that Day likes August will impact Mhok's actions toward Day. But, it's more of a fear for the characters, and less of a fear for the narrative, as in I'm not afraid that it will take away from the story.

Bad Buddy holds a legacy for subverting an innumerable number of tropes, and I'm glad to see that Last Twilight is holding it's own in the department too. The purposeful subversion of faen fatale made my heart incredibly happy (have you noticed how much I hate this trope? You probably have. I'm sick of it. Most Indian kids are)

Side note- I've seen a number of posts ghostshipping Gee and Porjai, and while it may not be very plausible, we did get InkPa, so it's never impossible

My friends, I need you to be blown away by this commissioned work by @artevalentinapaz, based on a scene ripped right out of my Control story, Break Step.

Absolutely. Awesome.
