For a while I climbed the ladder, not realizing I'd placed it against the wrong house. The window I tried to look into was a mirror. I fell backward into the world.
— Stephen Dunn, from "Ars Poetica" in Lines of Defense: Poems (W. W. Norton & Company; January 6, 2014) (via Alive on All Channels)

Building Blocks
“Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” – Ann Landers Gratitude has always been the gateway for opportunity. Those who use sight of their mind to see greatness in small things are often rewarded with more what they expected and Cath’s story begins this way. If you ever step into Cath’s office, the one thing you’d notice is how organized…

MC: *summons Lucifer to their house in the human world right when he's in the middle of something*
Lucifer: This had better be important.
MC: Can you change the batteries in my smoke detector? I’m afraid of ladders.
Lucifer: You are a sorcerer, MC. Didn’t Solomon teach you a spell that would help you with this?
MC: Yeah, he taught me how to summon you.
Lucifer: …
Technically MC was right & Lucifer decided he would rather indulge them than argue with them about it further. Thus the mighty Lucifer spent an evening changing smoke detector batteries.

The girls are plottinggggg
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen chao#wang lingjiao#Realizing she was supposed to have an upper lip mole was a cold slap in the face. So sorry ma'am. I won't forget again.#They are evil dumbass 4 evil dumbass and I think we are all missing out on the sheer potential of the comedy between these two.#They have way too much power and are using it for the wrong reasons - which makes them truly great villains.#And when things don't go their way they become piles of whining sludge.#Wang Lingjiao is forever fascinating to me even though we only get crumbs about her.#She's a servant girl who's greatest asset is her beauty and her attractiveness.#Meaning she's had a life being in the gaze of people with significant positions of power over her.#I can't help but read her childishness and petty tantrums as someone who has finally been given the chance to not feel powerless.#If she was a more virtuous type we might 'like' her more but honestly...I don't think she would have survived to this point.#WLJ has only known power hierarchies her whole life. Probably accused of seduction before she even understood what that meant.#I love contrasting her with mianmian because they have similar(ish) backgrounds but different approaches to moving forwards#But WLJ's story is about flying too close to the sun and mianmian's is about going too close to the water.#Like the sea mist dragging her down into complacency - all the sect powerplays are mandatory to 'go along with' if she wants to climb-#-the social ladder. Yet she is the cautionary tale (and a foil to JGY as well) she leaves before sacrificing her own morals.#Mianmian flies away with her wings only slightly plucked while those who sacrificed everything to reach for the top crash and burn.
