#I'm just hosting it here

[bantersnatch]

i just feel like if your cringe dad marries a gorgeous weirdly young very repressed freak and then leaves the two of you to live alone in the same house together for six months it is your moral responsibility to have an affair. i don't care how evil and annoying they are.

I've been doing an overhaul of my room!! Very fun, fulfilling my childhood dreams of having a yellow room, and I'm going to finally put all those gay posters up on my walls n everything. Anyway, more of @lyngracetalksnwritesnstuff's birthday present AU (also known as Hanguang-Jun goes to the future AU)!!

Lan Huan is very pleased with how things are going for him right now. Lan Zhan offered a very slow approximation of a sentence, and Wei Ying's face lit up as he exclaimed "I recognise some of these!" before reaching for his satchel and whipping out a huge binder of notes. He drops it down onto the table between them and both Lan Huan and Lan Zhan flinch at the sound, but the two children don't even blink at it. Wei Ying leans over to try and open it, but then A-Yuan makes a mildly disgruntled sound and he realises that he does still, in fact, have a toddler on his lap, which cannot help him communicate with Lan Zhan well. Lan Huan isn't one to overstep or anything, but Wei Ying seems to have his hands full and A-Yu is also looking between his baby brother and his drink (which requires both of his hands) with increasing distress, so he offers to take A-Yuan off his hands. Wei Ying looks at him like he's an angel sent from the heavens and, while A-Yuan is being handed over to him, Lan Zhan looks almost moody despite not knowing what's going on.

Despite Lan Zhan's moodiness, he is quickly distracted by Wei Ying, who becomes more delighted with every character that he seems to have translated properly. Meanwhile, Lan Huan gets to engage in a very serious conversation with A-Yuan about the merits of sausage rolls and then asks A-Yu about what he likes and if he enjoys school, easing him into a quiet conversation. He adores children so much, he thinks they're so cute and they're always so full of life - A-Jue loves them as well, he's truly just a big softie when it comes to them, but they simply haven't had time to even consider adopting with their hectic work schedules. However, A-Jue has been hinting at it occasionally...he has also been mentioning wanting to get off the night shift or taking a backseat at his security company, so perhaps it's time to talk to him about it soon. For now, though, he just focuses on entertaining the two children while Lan Zhan and Wei Ying huddle over the folder and point randomly at different notations or whatever it is they're doing (he will not pretend to understand).

He doesn't realise how long it's been until his phone suddenly starts vibrating in his jacket pocket with the alarm reminding him that he has a shift to get to soon, and he realises that they've been sitting in the café for quite a while. It leaves him with a decision to make - leave Lan Zhan here with Wei Ying and then ask A-Jue to come get him later, imposing on even more of Wei Ying's time, or ask Wei Ying to take Lan Zhan home with him, so they can make more headway with his communication skills? He doesn't really want Lan Zhan to be too far away from where he knows he's safe...(yes, ever since Lan Zhan grasped his sleeve in the crowded area, he has been seeing the man as somebody important to worry about, like a didi) So, he comes to possibly the best decision. He messages A-Jue to ensure it's okay, adding that Wei Ying has kids that seem to be getting bored and fussy, and then asks Wei Ying if he wants to come back to the apartment so they can continue this while A-Jue entertains the kids?

Listen, if this was any other stranger, Wei Ying would of course say hell no, because why would he take his children anywhere that could be remotely dangerous? However, this is Lan-Laoshi's nephew, who has entrusted him with breaking down the language barrier between them and Lan Zhan, and has been distracting A-Yuan and A-Yu very well for these past couple of hours. He weighs up his options for a moment, before coming to the conclusion that nothing bad could really happen, and so agrees to it. A-Yu looks excited at the prospect of going on an adventure of sorts, while A-Yuan is too busy chewing on a lock of Lan Huan's hair to really have a reaction, but he's never really been a fussy kid when it comes to these things, so it's nothing if not a bonus! Lan Huan looks relieved, and Lan Zhan has no visible reaction because he has no clue what's going on, so Wei Ying points at one of the sentences they've built from what he's managed to correctly translate from the original rulebook - "moving to another area" (stolen from a rule about not running or something).

It doesn't take long for them to get there, which is really useful because Wei Ying's shoes do not fit properly and he's got some mean blisters appearing the backs of his heels with every step they take, with Lan Huan letting them into the apartment building before telling them his apartment number and ducking off to go to work. Wei Ying takes one look at the empty lift, then looks over at Lan Zhan, who is staring at the foreboding metal doors with suspicion clear in his eyes, and decides that it's better to just take the stairs than risk the magic man trying to blow up something in shock. He carries A-Yuan in his arms because he will throw a strop if he has to climb stairs when he's tired, and A-Yu walks along beside him until Lan Zhan suddenly scoops him up as well and just keeps walking as if he isn't carrying a thirteen year old in his arms like it's nothing. A-Yu is absolutely delighted by this, squealing and clinging onto the man as he's carried up, and Wei Ying's been hit with a sudden desire to ask for Lan Zhan's hand in marriage based on this alone like a fucking lunatic.

A-Yuan and A-Yu knock on Lan Huan's apartment door together because A-Yuan likes to be included in these things and A-Yu is a very good brother, and it's answered by a impossibly tall and muscular man who could definitely crush him into a ball with his bare hands if he wanted. They stare at each other for a moment, before the man raises a brow and gestures for them to come in, A-Yu finally being placed onto his feet to take off his shoes and A-Yuan squirming around to follow his gege's steps a few moments later. Lan Zhan is rather casual about the whole thing, utterly respectful and elegant with every movement he makes as he goes to sit on the couch. This leaves Wei Ying in an awkward standstill with this man until he goes "I'm Nie Huaisang's brother" and everything is suddenly right with the world because Huaisang talks about Nie Mingjue aaalll the time. If This guy can deal with Nie Huaisang, then he can definitely deal with anything Wei Ying may throw at him (probably...), and also he just immediately starts showing the boys around as though they are royalty while he sets up in the living room with Lan Zhan.

drew myself as a clown for my bday this year ayyy 31 baybeee les go

[camellcat]

stray thought but why didn’t they just let giles die in spiral? like... other than make buffy miserable what does he even do in the later seasons? I feel like it would've been better to just let him go out on a good note than waste away as a character

[bantersnatch]

HOST!VIC DIVORCE ARC OFFICIALLY IN MOTION!!!!!

won't someone think of the adult children

[airenyah]

I get you about the hetero vibes of JD. Like there are CPs who act like they have been married for years and I am inclined to believe that and there are CPs who are just happy their job is to flirt with their homies and they lean into it. The latter is JD to me. Like no matter how much they would flirt, I won't believe they are actually together. I can belive they are best friends, even soulmates but not a couple

yep, exactly! i mean, JD also act like they've been married for years in a way, but as i mentioned in my other reply, it just feels like more of an inside joke and feels much more platonic than romantic

and they most definitely have fun flirting with each other. i think it's as entertaining for them as it is for us. especially for joong. i think it's a well known fact that no matter how insane you think you are about JD, you can be sure that joong is more insane about JD than you are. and i fully support him in that <3

while my mind is still on the subject of transfem genderfluid taichi. i very recently got around to reading SSR family and my main takeaway after getting through all the backstage stories for it, and then especially after also reading citron's backstage story for devil maid's holiday, was this:

[crimson-the-raven]

Crimson is on his period so I am going to be here until it stops

watching people actively work together to solve the puzzles is wonderful when the brain cell REFUSES to play along

[soviet-siscon]

It's hard dealing with jealousy about people having friends because i see other incest bloggers with friends on discord and stuff and feel a bit jealous and mad i can't have that, but also no way am i making a second discord just for privacy and I have a very different situation going on here than most people. It's nice having frequent visitors and even people who sometimes DM me, but I guess i should be more aware of how my situation differs and not compare myself to others.

[unorcadox]

I don't mean this in an offensive way or anything so just delete the ask if it makes you uncomfy but do you think your identity as plural has affected your queer identity in some way or vice versa? In any way, I mean.

yeah it's honestly made it impossible to label anything accurately lmao like i'm collectively every general identity label under the sun. i publicly id as a trans woman and straight* but realistically i'm completely unlabel-able and many systems i know feel similarly

[al-mayriti]

i love that there's so much to White's backstory and he's got a really interesting build as a character but because he doesn't do fuck all his primary role in the show is Dad's Friend from College
