#Closed Churches

Since I'm almost done working on em here's my demolition lovers costumes so far!

I started this in like mid/late March I believe

This is my first time doing beading ever, I probably should have started with something smaller or even tested on some scrap but I am nothing if not stupidly ambitious.

I wanna say this is roughly 14hours of work so far, I still want to add more to the dress and possibly make some accessories, we will see what I can get done by Saturday lol

In the Middle Ages, being buried closer to the church was a privilege reserved for the most prominent, respected and wealthy members of society with nobility sometimes buried directly under the altar. This custom was carried to America and existed throughout the early colonial period, which is why you often see a line of tombstones resting almost against the church in old New England churchyards. There are also burials beneath the church in many cases.

I've never heard of a grown man asking for so many piggyback rides. Hey, I already told you-- that was for science.

Someone (I don’t remember Whomst but please do raise your hand if it was you) once proposed the idea that Terzo might be a bit of a pianist based off of this image

And I just wanted to say that I support this idea. Not only because I think Terzo being able to play piano is adorable, but because it would make the Kazoo of Destiny even funnier in my eyes.

Dude is a classically-trained concert pianist, would make so many of his peers swoon by doing that dumb “Oh is that a piano? Don’t mind if I do~” bit and playing a concerto off the cuff. He could easily wriggle in a piano bit for himself during rituals and acoustic sessions — and the Clergy would’ve been on board for once because they know the power that a confident, handsome man with strong fingers can wield on an already horny audience.

But nope: He toot his lil kazoo, his favorite party favor he got three years ago at a New Year’s Eve party.

Yue Qi isn't quite allowed to draw his spiritual sword, but he's not explicitly NOT allowed, so he plans to sneak to Wan Jian Peak after hours and get his sword so he can save xiao-Jiu.

Only, as soon as he sets foot on the rainbow bridge, he runs into some shidi from An Ding having a crisis in the middle of the night. He helps.

It's several days before he has enough of a lull in his duties that he feels well-rested enough to make the attempt again. He needs the strongest sword possible to save xiao-Jiu.

Upon reaching Wan Jian Peak, he discovers there was an explosion just as the disciples were cleaning up for the night and now it's like an agitated ant hill. Yue Qi sighs and helps.

Sadly the fallout and paperwork and prospective safety measures take up an entire month. Yes, his cultivation is improving, but he needs to leave NOW.

His next attempt is thwarted by an entire crowd of disciples, a mix of bai zhan and xian shu. They're fighting because...? Someone said someone else said they were weak? Uncultured? Yue Qi might have expected the blow out with ku xing and that would have resulted in less property damage.

He pushed back another month, but at least that one shidi from An Ding brings him some nice trees and a fruit as thanks for his earlier help. Yue Qi can't put a name to the fruit, even as he eats it, but he dares not ask anyone and reveal his ignorance.

The next night, invigorated by the kindness and the gifts, Yue Qi finally, FINALLY makes it to the sword wall and claims the Xuan Su sword.

He wakes two days later on Qian Cao from the resulting qi deviation. His master visits. He is equal parts disappointed and pleased that he snuck out by managed to claim such a worthy sword

The moment he's gone, Yue Qi climbs out of the window and returns to his quarters. After changing and grabbing his go-bag he teaches himself how to fly on the sword while hurtling toward xiao-Jiu.

His bag has more money in it than he remembered saving, but Qiu Jianluo isn't willing to sell xiao-Jiu anyway

That's alright. No one knows Yue Qi is there and when there are no survivors, no one ever will. He leaves xiao-Jiu at the base of the mountain with his go bag and all of the money so he can approach the sect after enough time has passed to allay and possible suspicions regarding the fire at the Qiu manor.

Yue Qi presents his shishu with a letter from his good friend Shen Jiu and requests that shishu please evaluate him for cultivation potential.

Yue Qi suspects that his shishu knows every rotten detail of the situation, but he only smiles and agrees to a meeting. Before Yue Qi leaves, his shishu says, "You know, I hear disciple Shang was made head disciple of An Ding. It would serve you well to have a good relationship."

.

Disciple Shang is the nervous shidi. Yue Qi truly believes shishu knows everything.

trying to come up with something pithy or incisive but honestly I just got nothing

"I will worship the Christian god if people die" is where we're at now, I guess

[lunian]

- goes to art exhibition called Apocalypse which I heard was recommended to visit

- expects art objects dedicated to types of scenarios about world end

- gets Christian propaganda

- finds out it's sponsored by Lutheran church

- my anti-church ass, giving them almost $10 ????

- a fool

It was a joke at first but now it is only a little bit a joke. Happy mermay, Bo is a clam now

He is once again supposed to be some gift/whatever to Q’s father - the king - and therefore Q, because mer clams can produce stupid huge and valuable pearls. He only makes them when he’s irritated or upset (both physically like a normal clam and also just when he’s annoyed, rip) so when he first shows up he has PLENTY but as he and Q warm up to each other.. they grow less common. Oops

Extra tidbit & character chart below

Mer fact: If you give mer pearls time they kinda pop out on their own/with minimal damage. You can take them out earlier but that is not a good time for the clam :(

Quinton tries to make sure mer!Bo doesn’t hurt himself just to give them pearls - the king cares less.

Sister Imperator took one look at her undiagnosed AuHD son who was going through months/years of thanatophobia, clocked in that he also had difficulty focusing, and thought, “You know what job would be perfect for you once your time as Papa concludes? :)”

Like, no setting him up for life to relax somewhere on a farm to train rats, not even a slightly less demanding desk job within the Church, it’s just straight to the top. It’s almost as though she has difficulty conceptualizing why anyone would want anything that doesn’t have to do with the Church. 🤔
