I'm 30% into TGCF Book 5 and it seems like Xie Lian's only solution to any problem is kissing Hua Cheng. Which. I mean I'm not complaining but, man will take any opportunity to think 'maybe kissing Hua Cheng will fix this?'

I mean kissing Hua Cheng does seem to solve problems but, it's just very funny. Also Pei Ming pressing Eming to Xie Lian's lips— pei ming clocked hualian so fast it's great.

It’s Fine Press Friday!

This edition of The Sermon on the Mount was designed and produced by longtime Chicago printer and publisher Norman W. Forgue and bound by Monastery Hill Bindery in 1968 in a limited edition celebrating the bindery’s 100th year in business. Monastery Hill’s founder, Ernst Hertzberg, learned bookbinding in Germany before immigrating to the United States. His Chicago business specialized in custom leather bindings for wealthy patrons (including Marshall Field, Carl Sandburg, and Frank Lloyd Wright), and won a gold medal at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904.

During the Great Depression, Lawrence Hertzberg (d. 1970) – Ernst’s grandson – expanded the business into library binding and other services. Today, the company is run by Lawrence’s daughter, Rhoda, and specializes in the binding of restaurant and hotel materials.

Blue and gold illustrations and decorations by Nebraska painter, illustrator, and engraver Dale Nichols (1904-1995) adorn the book. In the text’s Foreword, Nichols explains that he included “dual symboltry” in his illustrations in reference to how Jesus taught in “duality terms.” Wanting to emphasize Jesus as a teacher, he left out a halo.

The text, which Forgue set by hand was produced by offset lithography on custom made paper. Forgue selected Linotype Fairfield and Goudy Deepdene fonts, and framed the text in blue. Two striking initials by Nichols illuminate the text.

This book comes to us from the estate of Dennis Bayuzick.

mean pleasure dom rain who will ride mountain's cock until he cums and cums, either during his rut so he doesn't go soft, or making it so he doesn't go soft. and even after mountain's shaking and huffing and his voice is raw from crying out, rain still won't be done. just because his cunt is full doesn't mean he's satisfied. and that means neither is mountain. sure, he'll give his cock a break, but as soon as it slips out, rain's taking his turn to fuck when his tentacle comes out to play >:)

YEAHHHHH SWITCH IT UP RAINY BABYYYY

Ugh you KNOW what magickally assisted boners do to me........Rain just casually reaching down and tracing a finger along that one thick vein he loves to like, pouring in juuuust enough magick into for Mountain to know what he's doing and whimper about it. Poor guy, his balls are gonna be soooo empty afterwards 😔

Saw an instagram clip about Fangs of Fortune and got interested enough to watch some, and then learned about an e-shou (reddit post cataloguing the demon/beast types; I forgot what the English captions translated it to) aka a rabbit-like beast that likes to speak lies and rarely says the truth; in the show, the human form of one was said by the FL to be affirming the saying that a person is better at lying the cuter they are

The e-shou in the show also only seems to be able to speak the opposite of the truth/opposite of what her heart wants, with the exception being right before death

Anyway-

Headcanons of Songbaek and an e-shou reader

Of course, you take interest in him. He's cute

Unfortunately it's not like you're the sort of beast that's in the Nanman Beast Palace (at least you can otherwise be seen as human??), so a creature that always has to lie and can take a human form is probably seen more like a demon. Demons are seen as bad (see that war about a hundred years ago)

So you can only admire that cutie pie handsome martial artist from afar while living in your little spot near Xian and pretending that you're mute to get around that dang speaking = lying issue, since telling the truth requires a lot of effort if you're not on death's door

Your clumsy butt bumps into him

"Screw off!"

...

That was supposed to be "I'm sorry". And now you can't act like you're mute

Your hands fly to your mouth and you bow really low

He's confused. You just insulted him and now you're bowing? He's never heard of this sort of problem before (plus there hasn't been much reason for him to read through manuals about the descriptions of demons and beasts), yet here you are

"Uh.. it's alright. Are you okay?"

For now, he might as well give you the benefit of the doubt (your panicked eyes tell him that wasn't a thing you wanted to do, so an entire misunderstanding arc is unlikely; even when he learns what you are, he figures that someone as violent as Chungmyung can be good, so you having good intentions is also very possible)

You nod, and point at him to ask him the same in return

Of course he's okay. This is Songbaek. He's not going to topple over from bumping into a single person

Eventually he learns about your very strong tendency to say the opposite of the truth and encourages you to just talk; he'll figure it out and translate it mentally, and he doesn't want you having to wave your hands at him all of the time (and your voice is nice)

"That's boring" = "that's very cool"

Then insults become compliments when he's practicing or talking about something with you

Sometimes he has to make himself not translate things to their opposite when everyone else talks to him (almost got himself in a fight)

Romance-wise - if he says "I love you", you say "I hate you" and he nods and snuggles you closer

Intimate times are more awkward with consent; in the moment, of course, his mind won't be as good at going for the opposite, so anything wild is off the table and he's careful to let you initiate or do something like closing the distance for a kiss, etc

Songbaek tries to go to you instead of having you go to him, and only when he's sure the others will leave him alone (relatively easy during that period of time where they ostracized him for going back to the original Zhongnan techniques), because having to introduce someone as a beast that usually only lies is awkward, and also saying you're hanging out with or dating this peculiar being is only going to bring a lot of questions and remarks he doesn't have the energy for dealing with yet; he does eventually do so (we're acting like there won't be a war), but sneaking you in as an odd-looking rabbit also becomes a habit for bedtime

Heavens forbid you die, let alone away from him, but if it happens, he deserves hearing that genuine "I love you" from your lips before you're gone forever

Would keep that little core thing you leave behind after your body fades into floating particles - why would he leave behind the last tangible part of you he has? He's keeping that thing and talks to it sometimes like Chungmyung talks to his dead sahyung
