#I’m showing restraint

Packing to go see the Echo and the Bunnymen concert, trying to only bring a backpack because I hate the process of checking bags on a bus. I feel like a lonely traveller, packing their life away in a tiny bag, wandering wherever the wind blows *cue Lord Huron song*

Charn and Tin’s development is so, so good. The way they yo-yo between antagonism and friendship, the way there’s instant sexual attraction but only slowly growing romantic feelings, the way their viewpoints contrast and conflict and constantly bring them back to Square 1, I could go on.

But I think one of the most interesting things about their ever-changing dynamic is how much more of a problem their conflicting perspectives become the more they care about each other.

Specifically, I think it’s beautiful and heartbreaking that the more Charn begins to genuinely care about Tin, the more he relies on what he believes to be case-winning methods. Methods that turn Tin against him, lead to distrust and anger and conflict between them. Obviously part of the reason Charn does what he does is because he wants to win. He likes the challenge, he wants revenge, he has a lot of pride.

But it isn’t just about winning anymore.

He cares about Tin and Tin’s grandma and his family and he cares what Tin thinks of him and he cares that Tin’s kindness is going to get him trampled by people who aren’t as kind. But the more he cares, the more he manipulates because he believes it’s the only way to win and winning is the only way to keep Tin and his family safe once and for all. Which unfortunately means the more he cares, the less Tin trusts him and the further the divide between them grows.

Just had phone sex last night and it was fucking an hour and a half of this stupid goddamn bunny teasing me and refusing to call me a good boy until I broke for him and asked nicely for him.

The nerve of that stupid goddamn rabbit to say to me, “What’s the magic word” just to hear me pathetically stammer out “Please make it stop” then she LAUGHED AT ME??? And said it sounded so pathetic and told me I was a very good boy???

And to top it all off while I’m fucking panting and seeing stars this bastard asks me “See? Didn’t that feel good? Wasn’t that better? You wouldn’t have liked it if I just told you you were good. You wouldn’t be satiated.”

And the worst part is is that she would do this in person too and she only teases me because my reactions are funny?? I gotta fucking ruin this rabbit. Count her fucking days tumblr. It’s over for her.

I checked out the "canon jiang cheng" in hopes of finding my people and yet all I've found are JC stans saying the weirdest of things were absolutely canon.

I am very tired.

Then I figured that I should just try my hand at the character tag and regretted it even more when I fell on an anti wwx post.

I didn't know those people existed and frankly, I am worried for them.

Seriously tho, this post was unreal, I can't believe I just read that with my own two eyes.

Can I rant with you please?

Yeah there was a whole thing when twitter users fled back to tumblr where twitter jc stans decided to “reclaim” the tag because they’re upset they didn’t successfully bully canon enjoyers out the fandom. They usually either fill it with fanon jc mess, jc thirst edits, or hate for any other character with the intention of antagonizing everyone else like they did in the main novel tag and the main jc character tag. I personally don’t use character tags to know how bad it’s gotten, but I use my mutuals to find new blogs to follow by paying attention to who they reblog from.

I don’t mind ranting, as long as it’s about a fandom trend and not about specific individuals* whose content you can trace back to.

*caveat to the “specific individuals”: sometimes I do talk about identifiable individuals, but usually it’s because they’ve either directly interacted with me or I am pointing out the disproportionate influence they’ve had on fandom in negative ways, so still fandom trend commentary. I don’t care about dissecting every individual jc stan fic or headcanon or “meta,” though, because they all say the same thing and jumping on one person for doing what the whole group is doing feels redundant.

afternoon my lovelies 💕

i have been recently informed that there hasn’t been much talk on this hellsite about @cloud-somersault’s fic The Constellations Within Us, and so I thought: what better way to begin than to show y’all some key highlights for each chapter so far that emotionally wrecked me or had me going feral :3

All of the energy leaves MK like he's a deflated balloon. He sighs dejectedly, but keeps eye contact, resolute. The kid’s resolve is admirable. "Yeah, but if…something does happen, would you let me know? Would you ask for help?"

-

Shoutout to being irresponsible! Can I get a HELL YEAH?" Party MK screams into his microphone. (<- ok this didn’t wreck me it make me feral but I did laugh very loud sooooooo)

-

Macaque leans close into Wukong’s personal space, eyes never leaving his. “Is that what you think? Is it tearing you up inside?" Wukong stays silent. He doesn’t want to give Macaque the satisfaction, but…he’s always been good at reading people and that goes quadruple for Wukong. A smirk of gratification sweeps across Macaque’s expression, but there’s hurt, too, no longer hidden behind pretense. But not even that would prevent him from getting the last word in. He whispers menacingly in Wukong's ear. "Good." (<- yes i DID scream. very loud and squeaky.)

-

“It is through compassion that you all are here on this journey with me. You were given a second chance by the goddess.” Tripitaka gave each of them a hard look, but when his eyes focused on Wukong, his expression was full of disappointment. “Everyone has the capacity to change, Monkey. Most just need compassion…and a chance.”

-

Taking a seat beside Wukong, which is a surprise in and of itself, Macaque stares at him apathetically. “That was the old me. I'm new and improved.” “Debatable.” An icy grin slowly spreads across Macaque's face. “Murderers don't get a say.” (<-*ungodly screeches*)

-

“Yeah, uh, didn’t this guy…like, level mountains or something?” Marble Rose whispers to Marble Gloss, who nods. “I heard he carried two mountains on his shoulders once.” “It was three, actually,” Wukong interjects, holding up three fingers.

-

And once they're caught in Wukong’s grip, he grins.Up they go, higher than the clouds themselves and into the heavens, and then, with a cackle he knowshe shouldn’t give, they come tumbling back down to the world below, slamming into the stone structures of the forest with a resounding boom. An earthquake follows, rippling throughout the world in aftershocks and disgruntled shakes, but Wukong repeats the action again and again, eyes searingly bright, mouth pulled back in an eternal grimace. Pain and punishment is what they deserve, it was what he was given!

and i should probably stop before I show anything that spoils the story, so go ahead and read it because omfg it’s so good 😍😍😍😍

I have so much to do already, why am I planning to bind decade-old midnight crew fanfic

[coffee-at-annies]

There are a lot of things I am quietly petty about that I keep to myself cause it’s not worth starting shit but my number one pet peeve that I have to physically restrain myself from unleashing on unsuspecting and well meaning blogs is rocking up to a random blogger’s inbox or replies and going “Ummm actually it’s spelled Pittsburgh 🤓”
