Sometimes I wonder what Jiang Cheng could've become if his parents didn't instill a mix of "crippling fear of failure" and "impossibly high standards" in him. Cuz like, his dad was holding him to the vague standard of being as good as wwx, his mom yelling at him whenever he goofed around like wwx, and then both of them expressed disappointment when he's less successful than wwx. The thing both of them seem to ignore though is that wwx got where he is entirely because he had the freedom to fuck around and find out- he trained tirelessly because he made training fun for himself, he was innovative as a cultivators because he experimented and persisted through failures, and he was able to act in line with the Jiang clan moto because his actions had less political pull than members of the main family. Jiang Cheng on the other hand- if he fucked around he got told to "stop stooping to the level of servants." If his achievements were lesser than wwx's, he got either dismissed by his dad or yelled at by his mom to try harder. And if he picked fights with the Wens, they'd have an excuse to destroy his clan. Like ya- no shit that'd create an adult who's terrified of failure.

The kite game serves as such a good metaphor/embodiment of this set back- with Jiang Cheng never being able to shoot as far as Wei Wuxian because he pulls back and shoots closer the second he misses.

And its sad too because he's shown to be pretty brilliant when he's in "fuck it, we ball" mode. Like, when he's not freezing up, he manages to pull off things like rebuilding his entire clan from the ground up, leading armies and taking back territories from the Wens, and I'm fairly sure he's the only character we see counter the Lan music cultivation techniques (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that last one. Also feel free to add any of the other cool shit he did that I'm blanking on at the moment, cuz I know I'm forgetting something).

That being said- even with his anxiety, he's still one of the top cultivators. Imagine what a force of nature he'd be if he could sustain "fuck it we ball" mode

Episode 7

��Sometimes superstitions can make people delusional, Dr Stonefall.” Amadeo clicked with his tongue and nodded at the entrance.

“Let's take a look at your field of research and have some refreshments. But first, gentlemen, will you help me with my luggage?”

He flashed a look at Jason’s shapely arms.

“No problem.” Jason turned and walked straight to his BMW.

Barely they entered the hall when Dr Stonefall's phone beeped.

He peeked at the screen, excused himself, and said he should drive to the train station since no taxi driver was giving Elliot a lift to Hill House.

“Not at this hour anyway,” he added before leaving.

Jason emerged in the doorway with all the suitcases in his hands, not even out of breath.

“Where to, chief?”

“Oh, um... to be honest, I don’t know. I haven't seen much of the house...”

“But the master bedroom shouldn't be hard to find.”

Jason put the luggage down on the floor.

“With all due respect, sir, the master bedroom is known to be the most haunted one.”

“Nonsense!” Amadeo waved away with his hand as if wading off a nosey fly and strutted to the main staircase.

“Let's find it, and you'll see there is nothing to be afraid of.”

Jason shook his head and followed him upstairs.

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yao– still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btw– realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?

It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.

Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his father– 👉👈 Of course he is!

But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.

Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.

Mav: Am I in trouble?

Ice: Take a guess.

Mav: No?

Ice: Correct

Mav: Really!?

Ice: No, you idiot.

Ice: If you really think you're not in trouble for what you did to Admiral Caine's car, then you're even more delusional than I thought.

Mav, under his breath: It was worth it.

On my train of excitement for Dragone Age the Veilguard, I played through and finished Dragon Age 2. THIS TIME I played a Hawk who was so into Merrill that it was pretty questionable how far she’d go for that elf. 🤔 Merrill would pick Hawk over a demon right?. . . . Right??

made the mistake of going to Petsmart alone today.... told myself "i'm just gonna look for fish supplies and stuff, need new heaters for winter, i am NOT leaving with anything alive."

i lied.

i have named her Rosie. the second i stuck her in my 20 gallon full of scuds and shrimp, she bolted after every scud she could find. she is a vicious hunter. none shall escape her maw.

witness her hunting prowess.

COVER REVEAL

LUCKY'S TROUBLE (Sons of Erebus MC 2) by Author Misty Walker

••••••

🔥🏍️ COVER REVEAL 🏍️🔥

It's cover reveal time for LUCKY'S TROUBLE, the second book in the Sons of Erebus series by Misty Walker.

BLURB: From USA Today bestselling author Misty Walker comes a dark MC romance with touch-her-and-die vibes from an insta-obsessed golden retriever biker.

Tinleigh is a pint-sized, curvy vixen with a darkness in her eyes and a sway to her hips that has me captivated. She’s also the woman her identical twin sister trusts me to look but not touch. So, was it smart to bring her to the club’s compound and move her into my cabin? Abso-freakin-lutely not. Did I do it anyway? Heck yeah! Haven’t I mentioned how hot she is?

It should be easy to keep my hands off her body and my heart in my chest since her walls are not only up, they’re ten feet deep and lined with barbs. Unfortunately for her, I was never one for self-preservation.

Little by little, she lets me in, and I fall even more for the woman who has been protecting everyone but herself for her whole life. Well, not anymore. Because when crap goes south with her and her twin’s sleazy abusive ex-boss, she not only has me, she has the entire Sons of Erebus MC backing her up.

Despite my reassurances though, she sacrifices herself and disappears in a desperate, last-ditch effort to protect her sister and keep me at bay.

Now it’s up to me to prove that, for better or worse, she belongs to me. And nothing and no one will stand in my way. It’s time to go get the girl.

*Lucky's Trouble is a dark motorcycle romance with dual POVs and told in first person. All books in the Sons of Erebus series stand alone but are best read in order. Please check content warnings on author's website.

okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??
