Reading+Listening Log 2024.09 - September

Previous: Reading+(Watching)+Listening Log 2024.08 - August

——————————————————————————

Reading languages: German, English, French, Japanese, not listing which was what. (There’s also been some feeble attempts at Chinese, but that was more music.)

Titles are as I’ve read them either first or most and thus remember it for that title mostly

Not going to bother putting in the original titles of translated reads unless there is something worthy of note to it

Cursive titles have been completed

If it says a volume number, it may mean it has been finished or is still in progress

Some notes’ content may be subject to repetition here and there, as I also copied some older notes from casual conversations over and didn’t go through any rounds of cutting things down.

SEPTEMBER

A new Jeweler Richard volume has come out. I have still not read the last one… And I do remember whining about messing up the date of that one's digital release in October 2023. Which means, It's been over a year now I started these logs, and I am somewhat amazed that they have kept on this long.

(classified) level one has now been vanquished. There are things I'd want to ramble about it, but it'll still have to wait. Here is hoping I still remember all of it…

Also, a non-weeb/otaku read since a long while. And I immediately regretted it...

Notes:

Fushi no Kami v1: I FINISHED IT. Good heavens, that took since spring to finish it. The world setting really isn't uninteresting, but all that Maika cheese was starting to get me cheese nausea. MC fellow is going to town now it seems, so here is hoping less Maika, and it makes for a more smooth read for me.

Sasaki & Peeps v1: That equally took several months. I'm not sure what it is, but while I find the plot lines not even uninteresting, reading it is a complete slog. I can't really pinpoint the why. What I do know what made me go from considering to dropping it to probably actually doing it is the end note with that neighbor girl. That's such a misguided conclusion she comes to, and it's not like anyone made any such advances or taught her that toxic way that you could say she was brainwashed, especially not from the MC to whom she is directing it now. It's…. ouf. The magical girl is equally just a bit ????, and it's unfortunately not too much the sort of ? that made me intrigued. Other than that, it's refreshing to have an isekai with regular switching back to present reality, but somehow the addition of psychics was reminiscent of the setup of The Isolator sans aliens kinda lowered that contrast of real world vs. fantasy isekai. Granted, it still managed to make do having all of it without feeling exactly cramped. I do wonder what made it such a hard read for me…

The Blessing of Liefe: Leave This Magical Letdown Alone! v1: The third of it those perfectly light romance reads following the two last month, and ouf. I think I ran out of steam there. MC is nicely badass, but the romance thingy kinda came out of left nowhere. If the male lead was introduced before his illustrated dashing entrance to find MC kneeling down looking for a memento trinket, to then turn out, they were childhood friends, then I must have completely missed it. The thing with having no "5-elements magic? -> defective" seems to be getting to be another staple trope? Where did it even come from originally? (Have to say, Dahlia in Bloom employs it in a much more interesting way.)

The Eminence in Shadow v3: I'm entirely not sure anymore what this even about now. Except there's Shadow doing whatever somehow badass and all his fangirls are being fangirls.

The Executioner and Her Way of Life v1: I had read some of the manga adaption in terms of tempo that one definitely reigns above the novel and probably also made it a bit of a drag to read. (Miss annoying Twin Tails did not help.) I was just considering feeling stupid for already stockpiling so many volumes when the end of the volume did raise some more interest again. I am rather simple-minded. Alternative timelines and time loops kinda reliably bait me.

Your Forma v5-6: Uh oh. I should have checked if there were more vols to come soon, because v6 is not just latest English, but also the latest JP volume. And v6 ends on such a bad cliffhanger! I recommend stopping after v5 until more volumes are out. That being said, it continues with its patterns of having an overly crimson red herring that no none seems to outright suspect, only for that one to have a double layer behind it. But v5 played that up with such ramping up the stakes and v6 completely escalated all and everything while dividing the cast into fragmented parties each with their own interests and priorities. There are so many side plot lines now, and it's juggling it while interconnecting it all and reaping some more payoffs from earlier volumes. So. When's volume 7 coming?

Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän (Man in Holocene): Oh hell darn it. I should have immediately recognized Max Frisch as the same author of Homo Faber. (Whom after that one I really had never wanted to touch again.) His works do leave a lasting impressing and footprint - and it's one I'd love to shake off if I could, because I consider it existential poison to the mind. The plots of those two titles are quite diffrent, but there is a common theme behind it. The futilness of struggle. Powelessness against your circumstances. The world. Life itsef. It'll all end for you at some point and the world will just go on, even with you out of the picture. It's a peculiar sort of gloom that is very earthly and all the more chilling for it, because it's too just a bit too realistic. And just so, so gloom. In this particular one your don't even have the kinda asspully incest inducing coincidence of Homo Farber. It's just about an old man, a widow living alone and not having any much connection to the people in the village, stuck in some real bad rainfall back in the 1980-ish, unstable electricity. And he's there, plastering notes, snippets of knowledge on the wall and slowly and steadily deterioates. What first looked like a descend to insanity because of being a man that really, really should not have been left alone, with struggling with isolation, desolation and pure boredom (this could also be about corona isolation) turns out to not be simple insanity, or not just that, but also dementia. And ouch. From Pagodas build from Crispbread to stave off the hours on the clock and night, to Genesis, Pythagoras, dinosaurs, local Swiss geography, an attempt to escape the place, abadoning halfway, books cut apart and out, chestnut cancer, and…. kitty roasted over fire, because. No real reason really. Beyond probably subtle desparing. There's just this whole sense of helplessness and the ending is just the daughter coming and talking to him like a child full of sorrow and then the place just goes on. Just without him. And there's the whole escape episode where he tries a mountain hike in the rain to go from that village over to Basel. And it's just "what does Herr Geisar want in Basel!". The sheer pointlessness of all. Like humans are pointless. Very much. Somehow we're strangely still there tho.

(Classified) v1 finished: There is a scene where the male MC goes like "How could I, to this day, not know about this?" and my first sentiment on that line was: Right, how did I not about this series? Not that it didn't cross my radar before, but never in a way to really make me pick it up before. There is a sense sense of alienation to the world, while still being perfectly integrated to its social structure, but still maintaining optimism and just doing your best bit by bit to improve the world and the lives of the people in there one way or another, is a mood that probably is just healthy. Also the female MC is still giving me all the aroace vibes imaginable. And (well of course T_T) the other MC has gone cheese infected. Pretty badly, too. But is in full blown denial for the perfectly followable reasons. Which makes this a sort of my second worst personal nightmare, and I was wailing a lot when that descended. I'd have loved them to continue what they had decided on, but maybe, it'll actually find a middle ground of how to reconcile one with the other. Could ramble a whole lot more on this, but it'd have to come end of the year.

Wandering Earth, Three Body Problem Wikipedia Pages: Well, it got there from the fan MV to the Wandering Earth movies and Zhou Shen's Mirage song the month before. And as usual these days I just don't get myself really to actually watch the thing (beyond the trailers anyway). So I read the wikipedia pages instead. And then I clicked on the author of the short stories it was based on and then landed on Three Body Problem. Which I wound up reading all the summaries, too. Sounds rather very interesting, so onto the book queue it went, but then I missed the timing to actually start it because JNC expiry deadlines. Oh well… Maybe still this year.

Domestic na Kanojo v18-20: v18: This buning cheese dumpster suddenly got queer, accompanied by a suicide story, which was kinda not trash, only to then follow up with some very horny-porny show-offs doubling down. And then it ends on a really creepy note. I think this may be the most packed vol so far of having multiple plot strings strung along. (The gay part actually ended wholesome, but looks like Miss Doomed to Suffer MC is getting the creep card, I'm starting to wonder if she is going down a checklist of everything cheese bad.) v19 while reading: Creep. Creep. Also, why shove that that mundane cheese side quest in, can we get the creep arc over already? CREEEEP 🤢 Blegh. The author has it in for Hina, does she? Okay, that sure escalated…. v20: near death netherworld drama, but of course. Also that Elephant Trumpet Rising to the Sky…. well, I give it, the visual presentation was pompous and it does its job to lighten the mood. Also Hina has just signed her final death by cheese suffering-sentence after all. Everything in that world truly is in to torture her, including herself. Everything after…. is being back to to roots that is its dumpster ecchi antics trash form. Can't say it is all that interesting in terms what follows, I mean, this is Natsuo's harem member 4 or 5 or something, and she clearly stands no chance anyway…. And as for the main trio. Just really, bigami is your solution. Even if it's not lawfully allowed, just do it already. How come nobody's even contemplating the idea? (Especially when it actually already made that queer side quest trip.)

Haikyu v42-43: That last game in their school days was honestly…. kinda boring to me. That after time skip felt a bit more fresh. Not much to the ending anymore, but still some volumes. It's nice to see not just soem short epilogue, but a whole arc about folks being adults later on past the school setting.

Kemutai Hanashi Skimming up to ch31.1: I was following it on pivix, and while I had a vague idea that there were more chapters you could buy single I stuck to pixiv, because the slow release there kinda just sit well with how it has this contemplative nature. And I am buying the print books anyway. (Which are also ahead of pixiv as of v4.) Turns out, it's mainly released on some other plattform and over there's it's vastly more ahead. With yet too little time to read through it all, I skimmed through it and there's a whole bunch, like a real whole that can be said and then some more that can't be said yet, so just this one thing for now: I mentioned this in my rambling of ch12 (the final chapter of v2 btw) before. This series's use of black for a mood is spectacular.

Like spectacular.

Breathtakingly so. (I gulped somewhat hard at that scene.)

Koisuru (Otome) no Tsukurikata ch84-87: Oh my gosh. I also did not have too much time to carefully read at first and I got a cheese arrow strinking me down, when skimming it (funnily the same happened for Hiura, but for diffrent reasons), but upon actually properly reading it, it goes on about some youthful existential crisis while also reminding you that it's still a RomCom, a compf fluff one at that. The Swooning arc is forthcoming! (Probably)

Seraph of the End ch131-140: I'm not entirely sure what I am reading here now. Beyond the two MCs kinda trolling everyone. Also Mahiru is having some more screentime and she's still cool and can her sister please stop trying to steal the show.

Shojo Null ch2-33 (finished): This showed quite some potential, but somehow it seems misplaces with Jump. It felt more like it would be more fitting at a place where series like Eden it's an Endless World would feel at home. There are some panels and pages that have quite striking artwork, but then it at many places tries to be an action manga and that's not something the author excels at, at least not yet. Felt rather stiff and more trying and succeeding there. Other than that the ending came fast, downright anticlimatic and while it still manages to have a somewhat round ending, it also feels more axed than not.

The Emperor's Caretaker ch1-6: MC who knows what she wants. art that isn't to shy to have a whole deal of a wardrobe and ornaments. You have my interest. Also looking like having upcoming amounts of cheese. … I will wail about that when it comes to it.

The Royal Tutor v10-17 (finished): Finally read down that pile. After it all: It was boring for me. It's trying to have some sort of compfy humor, but the humor just completely falls flat for me. If one liked the beginning mood tho they'd likely continue to like it. It doesn't really ever stray much from that specific mood.

Unnamed Memory ch39.1-2: Reaching the climax of volume 2's novel. Tinasha smirk towards Lanark after she grabbed the spell from him is just cool. Quite curious how badass the coronation will turn out~

Yakuza Reincarnation v1-4ch16 - Euh. Nope. Not for me. Lots of Beating them up and I kinda got vibes from Wind Breaker just more bloody and deadly and isekai and old geezer instead instead of yourthful puberty. Considering WB wasn't at all for me, I guess that one will remain dropped.

Yomei Ichinen to Senkokusareta Boku ga, Yomei Hantoshi no Kimi to Deatta Hanashi ch11.3-13.2: Darn it, some chapters expired on me again, so more gaps skipping it be… But color me surprised. This is the trope of terminal illness girl leaves guy behind whose world was turned upside down, but then looks like it's ALSO terminal illness guy leaves girl behind. (Who was the best friend of terminal illness girl, so her world gets toppled twice of sorts.) Curious where it goes now.

A Royal Princess with Black Hair ch66-107 (finished): The MC rocks. She so completely rocks. The plot itself is decently round and okay, nothing too outstanding, but Eucienne is just such a great character. Kinda trolling, kinda ridiculous, in her way just upbeat, has wits, is strong and steadfast and quick to act, has a heart full of steadfastness and kindness, while inbetween being a natural and a perfect actress she is pretty, elegant and just badass. I mean just look at this perfect smirk!

And paired with a guy who can keep up with and handle her. How nice that it even gets pointed out at the end as the one big firstmost thing why they are such a good match. It's also nice, that despite the obligatory cheese upcoming, while it may have used a bit of a timing asspull to seperate them, it also skipped over the awkward feelings have changed and by the time they meet again they are perfectly in synch as ever and more than anything they actually know it. No big awkward needs to figure an if out, rather just a short why. So the whole confession stuff at the end is more a thing of a matter of course (she did literally decided to not even try become empress and come back to him), no drama and then it's also seasoned with their usual snides and bantering. Most importantly it was kept crisp and short while adorned with some self-aware humor. Me likes. Somebody take those characters and put them together with some stellar plot, please? ._.

(The only thing that may have irked me, is that it had the need for the obligatory kisses and paint it as the grand curtain lowering climax. So much great build up and then it just has to find its goal in that? Tho the last chapter somewhat mitigates it, as Eucienne kinda goes and half crashes her own wedding. That's pretty cool.)

September's Music: Some more from last month continuing and 浮光 came back from earlier the year. 春雪 came in new and struck a pretty strong chord for several days on loop. Upon looking up the lyrics, it was of course another cheese song (something one sided, but anyway). After that I hit upon some songs of Three Body Problem, which, it turns out were in my to check out playlist already anyway. (It feels like Zhou Shen seems to pop it in and out of just about anything Chinese media by now.) The drama has some tracks of his and Endless Sailing is a terrific case of Enrish to behold. The Chinese version 永恒孤独 definitely sounds a tad better also I do wonder why love songs? Does the book have any? The summaries don't sound that way. Anyway even as such it's refrain line "Please don't answer" is kinda haunting while it also relevance to plot of Three body Problem. I have no idea wherefrom G.E.M.'s 面壁者 is – doesn't look like it's from the drama, but some animated thing? It has a nice melody to kinda just sink into. And then there's Tan Wei Wei/Sitar Tan's 歌者 and also that cover version from 咻咻满 (how bizarre that the cover video is the only place to find some english subs). What a terrific earworm. The first lines/refrain just keeps stiking in my head. "I glanced upon my love / I flew by her side / I presented her with a gift / which is a small piece of solidified time". Maybe it's because I had just learned "gift" from 春雪 and that made me understand the lines pretty much without having to do too much looking up, once I actually listened for the words? Not that I wanted to believe it, because, darn it. Another love song again? (Also why, does this series really have a lot about it?) Also yet again a song that isn't part of the drama series, but rather some radio drama's final season's opening theme? I did find some Chinese audio book reading on youtube, but doesn't look like it's this one. Anyhow tried some more Tan Wei Wei und then 小娟 (化名) struck out melodically, but upon looking up the lyrics it's. Uh. A song about domestic violence referencing some real murder cases. From whining over love songs that's a bit of a cold bucket of water… Then by the end of the month dropped Diffrent Kind of Beautiful by pure coincidence. Just another random play from youtube, but the moment I listened to it was basically when some certain other classified news dropped and it's also been around the same hour where I discovered that other plattform with all those up to date latest Kemutai Hanashi chapters. And while I was skimming those I wasn't perfectly listening to the song either, but the title line stuck and it's melody was a stragely fitting mood for this series, as were some fragments of its lyrics. "A diffrent kind of beautiful / …/ the kind that makes me turn around / … / The kind that takes my breath away and leaves me without air / maybe I'm delusional, it's just that kind of beautiful / … / I was hoping that I'd run into you here / but now I'm stumbling / and I can't seem to figure this out / … " Whiiiich, is a bit of a mishearing of it, and the gaps that I didn't pick up at first totally just make it another (one sided) cheese song, but what I selectively did pick up there in that moment kinda is felt exactly fitting to what Kemutai Hanashi is (specifically had to thing of the scene ch15).A whole series about stumbling and "I can't seem to figure this out", about a diffrent kind of beautiful. Breathtakingly so, a kind that makes me turn around.

📌GUIDA ANIME - STAGIONE INVERNO 2025 ❄️

L'unico post da avere nei preferiti per tenere a portata di mano tutte le serie e i film in uscita fra gennaio e marzo, in streaming, al cinema e in home video! 🗓️

Inauguriamo l'anno nuovo cominciando dal postare la guida con il palinsesto stagionale in tempi decenti e non a fine mese, come accade di solito!

Qua da me, neanche a farlo apposta, è il primo giorno di vero freddo invernale e nonostante qualche immancabile e fastidioso problema di connessione e il buon Tumblr, che si rompe ogni tre per due, totalmente a caso, ci sono riuscito. Incredibilis!

Il palinsesto è in continuo aggiornamento e giorni e orari di alcune serie potrebbero cambiare (o essere sbagliati perché non ho ricontrollato), quindi se notate errori o mancanze, segnalatemeli pure qua o sui social. 🫡

NOTA: Tanto per cambiare, Tumblr potrebbe avere sminchiato irrimediabilmente tutti i link che portano alle serie. Se notate che non funzionano, fatemelo sapere, almeno ho la conferma che è un problema generale e...niente, non ho idea di quale sia la causa quindi RIP.

Mistakenly Saving the Villain - Chapter 3

Original Title: 论救错反派的下场

Genres: Drama, Romance, Xianxia, Yaoi

TW for this chapter: Mentions of slave trafficking

This translation is based on multiple MTLs and my own limited knowledge of Chinese characters. If I have made any egregious mistakes, please let me know.

Chapter 3 - Born Without Tears

The red-dressed beauty lightly opened his vermilion lips and blew into the jade flute. The flute sound was full of lingering affection, softly touching his heart, as if he was inviting all listeners to join the red curtain and share the scenery together.

Song Qingshi's mother was an internationally renowned pianist. Because of her influence, music had become Song Qingshi's only hobby outside of school. In the last days of Song Qingshi's life, he had lost all body functions, but his consciousness was extremely clear.

His mother invested heavily in installing top-notch audio equipment in his room to play music everyday. She also asked top musicians in various fields to give him a small concert every day.

Music rescued him from the brink of despair and soothed his heart. During this special time, Song Qingshi was particularly sensitive to the emotions in music. He could hear the player's tenderness in the passionate piano music, and he could also find hidden encouragement in the sad and solemn guzheng music. . .

Now, he heard the familiar struggle and despair in the lingering and affectionate sound of the flute.

Song Qingshi finally raised his head, staring at the brilliant phoenix in a daze. He could no longer look away.

Jin FeiRen found out that Song Qing finally became interested in one of the beauties, and he was overjoyed: "Song Xianzun is interested in this slave? His name is Yue Wuhuan, naturally charming, a rare wood single-spirit root. That means he's much more resistant when tossing him around in bed. The more you rough him up, the more unhinged he comes. Those who have tried it have never failed to boast about it. Do you want to taste him first?"

Song Qingshi's ears were reddened by his explicit recommendation. He quickly turned his eyes away, and said dumbly: "No need."

"Medicine Master Xianzun is clean and does not engage in those activities. If you don't love these things, don't force him, friend." LingBao Xianzun came over, pointing to Yue Wuhuan and exclaimed, "If I remember, was this the best product sold by Xie Que? This immortal world is still the best place for him to raise beautiful people; one is more tasteful than the last. Alas, I have a friend who is his good friend, and all kinds of better goods will be sold to you first."

Jin FeiRen waved his hand and said, "You flatter me. What he really has a good relationship with are thirty hu of mermaid pearls."

LingBao Xianzun laughed: "If all friendships in the world could be created with money, my friend would be surrounded by the most affectionate people in the world. Come, come, let me have three cups with my friend and celebrate the wind and moon together.

Jin FeiRen also laughed, and ordered the young man in his arms to fill a glass of wine and drink with LingBao Xianzun.

LingBao Xianzun had already drunk a lot. He was slightly drunk. He leaned against the table and listened to the flute. He exclaimed: "I remember that when this beauty first entered this place, he was reluctant to accompany guests, even under the control of Acacia Seal. It was very interesting to see, but now he has become so promiscuous, and his flavour has changed. You have great methods, my friend."

Jin FeiRen shook his head: "It's a pity that this beauty doesn't cry no matter how rough you toss him around. He was born without tears, and because of that, some of his appeal has been lost."

Song Qingshi heard the professional question and couldn't help answering: "Being born without tears may be a problem with the lacrimal secretion system."

Jin Fei was dumbfounded for a moment. He appreciated his friendship with Song Qingshi, but he couldn't keep up with his medical obsession. He had to laugh awkwardly and switch off the topic: "Don't look at this beauty's promiscuity deceive you. In the mortal world, he was also a noble and respectable prince. When he was eight years old, Xie Que found that he had excellent aptitude when he was looking for beauties in the mortal world, so he showed his supernatural powers and presented the emperor with a pill for prolonging life. The old emperor was so happy that he happily gave his son to the immortal leader. Xie Que is also an ingenious person. He will seriously accept mortals with spiritual roots as disciples, and coax them to trust him. Then he uses that trust to trick them to sign the spiritual contract of voluntary slavery. He then teaches them superficial techniques, and, when they appear to be at their peak, brands them with the Acacia Seal. He always gets them when the colour is at the best time for picking, and then sells them to the brothels to serve in their rooms.

Although everyone knew he was taking advantage of those loopholes, they all turned a blind eye and eventually accepted this method of slave trafficking."

The Yanshou Pill can only be taken once to extend someone's life to reach 100 years old.

Cultivators can live at least three hundred years so long as they build a good foundation base. They don't need this tasteless kind of thing at all. Most of them are bought for their mortal servants. The price is very cheap, only worth two low-grade spirit stones. Such huge profits have continued to promote the slave trade.

There is an endless stream of cultivators in the trade, but none of them are well-versed as Xie Que.

Song Qingshi was surprised to find in his memory that the original body had seen Xie Que before.

That spring, the original body was studying a new way to create pills behind closed doors. Xie Que came to seek medical treatment with a comatose child. The child was a mortal, about eleven or twelve years old, with a rare pure yang physique and a wood spiritual root. Moreover, when he reached the third rank, his talents were different, and he was even better than some of the wasted descendants of various immortal families. Xie Que said that it was his new apprentice who had recruited more than three years ago. When he went to the mountains to practice, he was bitten by a Devil Mask Snake. Devil Mask Snakes are not extremely poisonous, but they will turn the faces of the poisoned person different colours, just like they were wearing a mask.

The original body typically didn't treat mortals, but Xie cried out in tears, saying that this was his most important apprentice, and he was willing to pay a high price to save him. The original body was in a good mood at the time, and was annoyed by his repeated crying. The Devil Mask Snake poison was also easy to detoxify. He finally relented and ordered a servant to give him two detoxification pills and ordered Xie Que not to cry again.

Xie Que stayed beside the apprentice’s bed and took care of him for three days. The apprentice woke up from a coma, his body no longer in a serious condition, but it took time for the ghost marks on his face to disappear. They stayed in the valley for half a month, and waited until his apprentice's face fully recovered.

During that time, the peach blossoms in the medicine garden bloomed just right, like red brocade all over the sky. When the original body encounters a problem with his alchemy, he often sits in a high place and looks at the peach blossoms and thinks. Every time, the original body would see a small figure under the peach blossom practicing swordsmanship. He practiced in the morning, at noon, and at night, as if it had become a landscape of symbiosis with the peach blossoms.

Mortals trying to cultivate immortality are like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate. The path comes with many difficulties and dangers, and there are few successful ones.

Xie Que was always by his side, with a worried expression on his face. He was either afraid that he would drop his sword or that he would become exhausted. The two quarreled several times. On a whim, the original's body and mind let out a spiritual thought to investigate. He heard the child say to Xie Que: "Master, although mortals are not as good as immortals, my father taught me to reward my diligence, and diligence can make up for my weaknesses. So I have to work harder and never waste time."

"What you said makes sense," Xie Que tried to persuade him with a bitter face. "Your injury has not healed. I'm afraid you might hurt your body. And. . . why do you have to practice sword? Entertaining cultivation, wouldn’t it be better for you to learn some flute, piano or something?"

"Master taught me to use music to cultivate Taoism is very good," the child scratched his head embarrassedly. "But I like swords, I want to be like Mo Yuan Jianzun. Master, rest assured, I know all the songs you taught me. I practiced better than my senior brothers and sisters, and I definitely don't put off practice."

Xie Que had no choice but to say: "I will find you the right ice silk gloves later. You must wear them when you practice swords. You must soak your hands with lotion at night to make your hands soft. This will prevent calluses, so you won't miss the subsequent practice."

The child cheered, excitedly: "Master, you are so kind."

"Don't get hurt," Xie Que lightly knocked on his forehead and complained. "You naughty devil. Your master is terrified. From now on, stay in the sects when you practice, and you are not allowed to go to the back mountains. Take breaks as well to avoid ruining your eyes."

The child accepted all these conditions.

Xie Que leaned over, rubbed his head gently, and sighed: "You don't know how much Master values you. . ."

"I know." The child raised his head and said in a serious voice: "I know that the immortal world looks down on mortals that cultivate immortality, and even looks down on the master who only accepts mortals as disciples. I don't want to shame my master, so I must cultivate a Golden Core to prove to everyone that Master’s vision is right!"

Xie Que looked at his face silently, his eyes distant and difficult to distinguish.

The child pulled Xie Que's sleeves, turned his eyes, and said embarrassedly: "Wuhuan likes Master the most!"

Xie Que stretched out his fingertips, stroked the child's colorful face, looked carefully, and finally stopped reluctantly on the small red mole under his left eye, which was dazzlingly beautiful. He was silent for a long time, showing a very kind smile: "Master also likes you the most."

Holding Out For A Hero (Nothing But Thieves)

{So immediately when I heard this rendition of the CLASSIC bop I was like, this is not a damsel in distress calling for help this is a villain, a powerful one, begging to be stopped. SHE is the one causing the fire and flood and only a mythical, Herculean hero can stop her. She's raging at the Old Gods (as she's a goddess herself) for their silence and their brutal punishment of her sister. The more they don't intervene the wilder she becomes until we reach the start of the story when a "white knight" appears to challenge her, and ultimately save her from herself. She's holding out for this hero and has all of these ideas of who "he" must be in order to defeat her. I've always loved stories where the Great Hero is assumed male and at the last moment joke's on everyone cause they're not and that's exactly why they can succeed. Also definitely was thinking of Te Ka's form of the "woman scorned" from Moana and the idea that even the wildest and most broken of hearts can be healed with a little love. Hope you like it! Thanks for reading! (Also sorry it's not under a Read More, I'm mobile and will cut it once I get back to a computer!)}

Chaos. She surveyed her surroundings and found death at every turn. The sky with its red black hue gave the scene a ghostly glow, like dying coals. Screams echoed around her, the sounds of women and children wailing, the tamest animals stampeding in pure fear as fiery rocks rained down, scorching any creature within five feet. Torrential rains and wind ripped up trees long rooted and tossed them like discarded twigs. Lightning streaked through the sky, setting homes and fields ablaze despite the oppressive rain. Her storm was raging, ferocious, unyielding and unforgiving.

Her focus came to a pair of young girls, an elder and a younger. One, the younger, was desperately trying to support the other but her legs were weary and Chrona watched as they were trampled by fleeing soldiers.

Guilt tore through her and in that moment she was no longer the harbinger of destruction that stood atop the ruined castle, she was a more youthful self, scared and clinging to her sister’s arm as the girl dangled over the very pit of hell.

“Chrona!” she screamed, a creature too foul to describe gripping her by the waist, dragging her down. “Please!”

Chrona gripped a dagger in her hand, one meant to end an eternity of suffering before it began, but it shook as she looked in her sisters eyes. Just as she steeled herself to do the deed the beast gave a savage tug and Chrona felt her sisters thin fingers slip through her own. She screamed, a soul splitting sound, as the girl fell into the abyss, her final expression filled with judgement and despair.

She roared in pain at the memory and lashed out at the soldiers, casting down shrapnel and lava and sheer celestial rage until their blood mixed and pooled on the burned earth.

“Is this what you want!” She yelled to the ever quiet heavens, “You think me crushed!? Defeated!? I will show you crushed! I will show you defeated!” Chrona’s lip curled at the deafening silence.

“Are you so frightened you will not even help those who worship at your altars! You look on as they die, viciously, and you speak nothing, you send nothing, you do nothing! Nothing! “

The last word cut through the cacophony of noise and all who heard it trembled, fearing some winged hellbeast was on the horizon.

Then, she saw him. Riding through the chaos, a knight in starlit armour, sword glinting and whistling as it sliced through debris and foes like summer berries. He rode on a horse the color of bright flames and indeed in its wake it left burning hoofprints. She thought of the wise woman’s words, that her end would be at the hands of Phaethon’s rider, and her resolve and rage only deepened.

‘Let him come,’ Chrona thought bitterly, ‘And I will add his blood to the rivers that have been made this day. Should he succeed, I have known my fate.”

As rider and steed galloped towards her she whispered to her blades, waking them with the promise of fresh kill. They sizzled in her hands but did not burn; their loyalty was to their provider and none else.

Finally her enemy stood before her, a mighty being that lesser deities might cower in sight of, but she was Chrona, Mother of the Flaming Storm, Master of Chaos, Temptress of Death. She would not cower easily.

“To stand in my presence is to court death,” she snarled, but the would be hero said nothing, only lifted his sword and stepped forward.

She lunged at him, her blades as hungry and feral as she had become, and the ring of metal on metal was clearer than any bell. Strike after strike she came at him but he was faster than she’d thought and parried each blow with little difficulty. This, she thought, would be her last battle, for though they had long slept deep within her regret and remorse dulled her senses with each swing. By chance he knocked a blade from her hand and, seeing her madness grow, made quick work of dispatching the other. Chrona howled and called for her weapons but they had been lost in combat and so no longer held any allegiance to her. She leapt back, teeth bared, and held herself for a moment as the white knight spoke.

“End this!” he shouted, his voice gentler than she imagined, “Mistress Chrona, Lady of the Shunned, Vengeful Sister I beg you bring an end to this horror!”

Curiosity crept at the edge of Chrona’s mind; what mortal left alive would know that title? She had destroyed that city and all who had fled with the knowledge of her sister’s misdeeds. Still, she was sure he was mortal as he possessed no exceptional energy, save for what radiated off the sword and armour, and if she could not take the day then she would take her enemy with her. She gathered her energies, once noble and respected now twisted black with despair, and channeled them into a blast that would level the ruins to rubble.

“NO!” Cried the knight and he rushed forward, the full force of the shot ricocheting off his god-made armour back to it’s originator.

Chrona flew back, limbs splayed, and felt her skull hit the marble archway with a sickening crack. She stumbled, trying to regain her stance when she felt cool metal and the bite of a sharpened edge at her throat.

“Impudent wretch,” she hissed, her eyes glassy but fierce, “How dare you-”

The words turned to ash in her mouth as the knight removed his helmet, and there stood her first devotee and mortal lover, a woman, Damopheis.

“Please my Lady,” Damopheis pleaded, tears streaking through the grime on her bronzed face, “End this, or I must end you.”

A deep sadness welled up in Chrona’s heart as she took stock of what her righteous anger had wrought. The city was on the brink of utter obliteration, fire consuming what feet and falling stone had not already destroyed. The winds whipped about them and in her love Chrona saw the foil of her evil.

“Damopheis,” she said in a hushed voice, “My sweet Damopheis you returned to me.”

“My heart has always been with you my Lady. But yours is dark and unfamiliar. If this,” Damopheis gestured broadly to the wreckage, “Is what it has become, I will not hesitate to carve it out.”

Calm washed over Chrona despite the threat. The guilt of her sister’s fate still hung heavy on her immortal soul but hatred and vengeance no longer consumed her. She looked to the far off mountains where sat the Old Gods and was sure all divine ears were bent towards them.

“Release me, my love, I will do no more harm.”

Damopheis held the blade a moment longer then stepped back quickly, in case the goddess’ wrath resurfaced.

Chrona straightened her spine and with her mind reached inward, through the sludge of pain surrounding her energy right to the very core of her being. She marvelled at it’s purity in the face of such sin as hers. Then, like a fresh well she pushed it up, up, and out, arms stretched to the sky, and slowly life began to return to the land. The rains turned from battering to soothing, the fires began to dissipate and the earth shook as new flora burst from the ground, thick and vibrant. The injured found their wounds healed and their hearts comforted. Even the dead were revived, for they had not been long departed from their bodies and even Death in his halls could not begrudge such an awesome and selfless display of cosmic power.

Chrona noticed as her feet became rooted to the marble floor, stone creeping up her body as she poured every drop of her power into the act. She heard Damopheis shout as though from leagues away but kept to her task until only her head remained untouched. Then, Chrona looked her lover in the eyes and finished her work, a grateful smile frozen on her face for all time.

____________________________________________________________________________

Damopheis wept openly as her Lady sacrificed herself to undo what she had done. It had not been easy to trade blows with one she had once, and truly still did revere. But she had been chosen by the gods and she would not have anyone, mortal or otherwise, do any harm to her beloved goddess.

She clung to the statue, her tears rolling down the marble face as if the piece itself was crying. Since Damopheis had left her island city she had yearned to hold her Lady, to touch her gentle face once more. Now she cupped the cold stone and searched, frantically, for the life and love that had once enchanted her so. Thinking this would be the last time she beheld her Lady’s image, she bent forward and pressed her warm lips against the statues stiff recreation before turning homeward.

Then, a bolt of lightning flashed through the sky and in a moment the marble began to melt away. Frozen stone slowly became warm flesh once more and Chrona breathed deeply, as if for the first time.

Damopheis felt her tears flow again, this time from joy as she threw her arms around the goddess’ neck, vowing to never leave her side for all her years to come. Chrona’s vow was much the same and they stayed like that, clutching each other, laughing and weeping, for some time after.
