Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival
(Part 2)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#jiang fengmian#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#Yungmeng Jiang Training Arc AU#MDZS AU#The AU name for this idea is something I am 100% willing to change if someone has a better one.#There will be at least 2-3 more comics so *please*. Ideas and feedback welcome.#The core idea behind this AU is that LWJ goes to study with the Yunmeng Jiang sect instead of JC and WWX going to Cloud Recess#But why? Well I imagine Lan Xichen set it up to give LWJ a challenge (more social than skill based) and LWJ rose to it (begrudgingly)#Sort of a 'You've mastered so many Lan techniques but Other Sects have styles that are worth learning.' set up.#Lan Qiren agrees mostly on the basis that...well it's LWJ. Yunmeng Jiang is unruly but LWJ is beyond that riff-raff. He'll rise above it.#This is the story of a boy who thrives on routine and rules spending time in a place that is his apparent antithesis.#Also it is so warm there. He is used to it being cold and what do you MEAN just take off some of my layers?#I just want to see him struggle and flail in many situations. And get him in Jiang Purple. Is that so wrong of me?#(Soaking wet JC is part of my 'JC was born to swim; forced to hold a sword' agenda. Do not remove him from the water)#((Politeness notes: JFM would *not* call LWJ 'lan wangji' nor would LWJ be vocally impolite to a sect leader.))

literally in another universe snowbairdplinth could've been THE revolution. they wouldn't even really need any allies, lbr.
like, between coryo's cunning, sej's conscience, and lucy gray's charisma? the snow name, the plinth fortune, the baird d12 but neither district nor capitol pedigree?
coryo could've actually been like, panem's first 20-year-old president, who outlaws the hunger games and who the districts still listen to because he has sej and lucy gray on side. and yeah maybe coryo still kills a bunch of people but like whatever, no one really bats an eye -- who's gonna mourn gaul, anyways? no one in the districts, that's for sure. even if gaul didn't suck ass they'd be busy with cool covey music and awesome new legislation.
in a better universe i am 100% certain snowbairdplinth could've managed a fairly bloodless revolution, six decades early.
#they're all idiots in canon but if they listened to each other?#if coryo opened up to the idea that control could be achieved through means other than brutality?#if sej started thinking through his rebellious plots for more than five minutes and used his money to affect large-scale change?#if lucy gray willingly inserted herself into politics for the good of the nation?#ugh we could've had it allllllLLLLL#the hunger games#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#coriolanus snow#lucy gray baird#sejanus plinth#snowbaird#snowjanus#snowbairdplinth#snowjanusbaird#<- idk what the proper ship name is T-T#at this point i'm gonna start tagging all my bullshit aus with#fuck coriolanus' canon asshattery

The Saskatchewan government says schools must now seek parental consent when children under 16 want to change their names or pronouns.
Education Minister Dustin Duncan said Tuesday that the province wants to standardize pronoun and naming policies, as they varied from one school division to another.
A similar move earlier this year in New Brunswick was faced by intense opposition by LGBTQ groups.

Baizhu design :V ? For funsies totally not going to draw him or anything
had way too much fun with this one hahah
#listen i know that baizhu's eyes should be red in theory here but like#im too used to my golden eyed princess to change that#plus its funnier what with the whole childe crush list#also im sorry but i can't think how to explain it away rn#baizhu's not even a relevant character so it doesn't even matter but still#we'll just roll w it#anyway#we can name baizhu's snake smth else too#idk what#just in case anyone here doesn't realize gui is herbalist gui#hilariously enough gui also fits like. a good chunk of childe's crush list#like he's only missing the 'being able to beat his ass' and the 'deep voice'#the rest of it checks out iirc#childe; still a bit in shock at the revelation: huh- the husband is literally just some guy#gui; very friendly and polite and sweet invites ajax into the convo and never sidelines him and is always happy to meet new people:#childe; touched and charmed: yeah ok this makes sense actually. i get it#guizhong and ping yan only found out about the short crush like. months after LMAO#changsheng and gui are cannonically gossip buddies so i think the dynamic would be hilarious whenever baizhu goes to the clan#changsheng dumps a bunch of homework/tests on him to run and then goes sit w gui to the side to gossip for the rest of the day#she approved the husband from day1

Love the common fanon of Polites having glasses. Not all interpretations of him have it, but it's fun when I see them. It's silly, and not period-accurate, but this is fiction and people can do what they want.
Anyway,
Canon explanation: No canon explanation. Man just has them. Probably a gift from the gods, idk
Fanon explanation: Steven Dookie, Polites's VA, has glasses and this is a little nod to him :)
Crack theory which I thought of at 2AM with only 2 hours of sleep and after working an 11 hour shift: Polites was actually isekai'd into The Odyssey long before canon events and brought his glasses with him. The Fates had to get rid him asap before he affected the story too much, hence him leaving the story much earlier than his own book counterpart did.
#epic the musical#polites#i just think it'd be funny#after I read the Odyssey and the Illiad#I might come back to this idea and write it lol#it would neatly explain why epic the musical is different from the actual odyssey#because Polites is a new person! And one small change can snowball into many other bigger changes#like say#screaming his name and title and doxxing himself to everyone and their dog#turns from an act of hubris to an act of grief

Civilian Gothamites realizing they can get vengeance through Sword!Robin
Gothamites figuring out if they happen to mention a rogue treating animals poorly within hearing range of sword!Robin that rogue will be in custody with at least four fractures and a concussion and Damian being completely aware that like 63% of these people are lying but it’s the only way he can get experience with the nonlethal takedowns he’s experimenting with bc everyone keeps complaining about how he treats his opponents and allies
Like he’s guiding a civilian to safety and they mention that “this would be the worst thing to happen to me today if riddler didn’t stab my fucking cat” and this civilian does not own a cat but they did own a car that was just paid off but riddler fucking crushed it with a stupid ass hot air balloon that’s shaped like a fucking question mark and Damian is aware of this bc he was the one that verified the insurance claim (but he’s been looking for a reason to punch Nygma in the throat since his last Arkham escape when he called Damian a moron)
And he also knows that if he plays along with it and says ‘as if I’d let that gaudy and tactless imbecile get away with committing such atrocities’ when prompted that he’ll get away with barely a slap on the wrist like he gets three half hearted but long lectures he’s not going to listen to and an online sensitivity training seminar he goads Tim into completing (Damian and Tim 100% try to trick each other into doing work they don’t want to do and full heartedly believe the other has no idea what they’re doing)
Bruce’s tendency for finding small crashouts at risk of becoming future rogues in Gotham and deciding they need love & supervision but what actually happens bc he’s so fucking awkward is they get almost the same amount of supervision just with like an hour of intense helicopter parenting a week but honestly besides that they just have more money and resources to do fuck shit
Tim 🤝🏾 Damian: using the manipulation tactics they learned from their mothers then later improved on with help from an assassin cult and bat/cape interrogation questioning techniques on the homies
#Both central city and gotham are referred to as crashout central and no one’s ever sure which city is being mentioned unless a cape is named#random Gotham civilians outsourcing a rogue getting their ass kicked to a middle schooler with a katana is fucking funny#Damian & Tim 100% try to trick each other into doing work they don’t like and definitely believe the other has no idea what theyre doing#Whenever damian gets benched the civilians protest until he’s back on duty#and are just generally unhelpful like ‘answer your questions?? That’s crazy I got a question for you: where’s my guy??’#Random gothamite: Batman’s so mean like free my guy 😔 he didn’t even do anything?? He’s just a little guy#Their friend visiting from out of state who’s pretty sure they saw that kid fuck up a dinosaur with no backup: 🤨 ikyfl#the loa ninja who came for a welfare check: you’re joking right???#Sword!robin#robin 5#Robin V#gothamites definitely tried to count the robins but they change names heights & costumes so often that no one’s really sure#so there’s angry!Robin nerd!Robin emo!Robin blonde!Robin and sword!Robin#but there’s also the theories of robin being an amalgamation of every child ghost in Gotham or a shapeshifter with an emo dad#only in gotham#dc civilians#Damian Wayne#Damian Al Ghul#Damian Al Ghul Wayne#dc robin#robin#dc comics#Civilian Gothamites: that polite young man!!#The bats & everyone else that knows Damian: 🤨#Damian currently using psychological warfare against scarecrow a rogue w/ a doctorate in psych and winning: dr crane?? more like dr cringe#Damian: sometimes I just get the urge to weep inconsolably not out of fear but bc I know you believe yourself to be a threat & that’s false#Insurance companies in Gotham either make so much money it’s insane or every employee has 746 hits out on them at all times

Germany: makes it easier for trans*, inter*, and nonbinary people to change their name/gender
People online, immediately:
"we are doomed" bc I guess this guy's existence depends on my given name
"that's it for Germany" / "it's over for Germany" bc in fact the whole country is dangling on a thread formed by its people's agab
my personal favourite "and thus women have been officially abolished" ah yes the law does indeed *squints at writing* prohibit the existence of women
#Ash's ramblings#German stuff#I'm deciding to see the funny side. also bc the law change seems pretty great unless there's sth I'm missing#which means. I now have to seriously consider whether to officially change my name? possibly also my gender? much to think about#German politics#Queer tag#selbstbestimmungsgesetz#transphobia cw

Can you... Can you guys imagine. Get in the Water. Poseidon is MAD happy to finally get Odysseus. Get in the Water, Odysseus. Or I will DROWN your Ithaca, or I will GOUGE your son's eyes. Odysseus answers, begs. What else can he do? It's Been Ten Years, they are both hurting from loses. Why can't they stop and just... go home. Finally, finally get to the home that is so close.
But No. The god says "Die". The god sends waves, sends him under. Ruthlessness is Mercy, he said before. He will not let Odysseus get away again. There is no escaping god of the sea now, not so deep in the ocean. Odysseus can hear Polites, can hear Eurylochous, can hear his mother. All of his comrades are Waiting, Waiting, Waiting. He can't let go but he must. They are Waiting. But then something unlike the sound of trumpets - crashing waves - resonates within him. A beat like his heart but getting stronger, getting more powerful. His chest is vibrating with it when he finally hears the tick-ticking, so familiar yet foreign. Then, a voice shakes his very being. "I was promised blood." Godly wrath fills him and suddenly Ares' instruments are all he can hear, followed closely by his soldiers' vengeful cry.
#epic the musical#epic vengeance saga#epic what if#odysseus#ares#athena#CAN YOU IMAGINE#Ares being god of war is painfully underutilizied in most media#But if Athena is the goddes of tactical warfare#then Ares must be a god of a common soldier#Odysseus' men were far from tacticians#isn't it fitting if their restlessness and their capitan's rage would catch his attention#Odysseus in act 2 should be Ares'#you can't change my mind#but also just to be clear i do like Vengence a lot#I just need to make excuses and headcanons to enjoy it to the fullest as some things just feel way too immersion breaking for me#so there#that's my interpretation of Six Hundred Strikes and how it's possible#I guess also#Polites#Eurylochous#Yes i learned how to spell his name can someone be proud of me

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it
Men who won't take their wife's last name is the reason the divorce rate is so high in the US.
It's not about ownership or control- it's about showing commitment and respect to your wife. If you're not willing to make such a small sacrifice, how is your wife supposed to know you're truly committed to your marriage?
Don't you want to have the same last name as your future children? It will be so awkward and such a hassle to be the only member of your family to have a different last name. Taking your wife's last name makes you much more of a unified family.
Your last name is really just your parents' last name anyway- why not switch it your wife's? Plus, consider how effeminated your wife will feel by your selfish, short-sighted decision.
And yes, before the wokes attack me- I FULLY support men's rights. I just believe men losing a piece of their identity they've had since birth that is probably on all their degrees and career achievements shouldn't be such a big deal and is part of a beautiful tradition.

so apparently the new tory leader is the lady who declared war on david tennant for being pro-trans, thinks teaching about the british empire 'should include the good parts' (she's black btw), refused to ban conversion therapy, opposes the minimum wage and maternity pay, and says that autistic people 'have too many special economic privileges'. can we abolish the tories already

As debate continues over policies requiring parental consent for youth under 16 to change their name or preferred pronouns in some schools, members of Canada’s LGBTQ2 community say such legislation could put some at risk of abuse, harassment or even homelessness.
The concerns come as Saskatchewan and New Brunswick recently put in place such laws.
When asked earlier this week about whether Ontario will implement similar policies, the province’s education minister said parents should be “fully involved” in “life-changing” decisions involving their children.
But some LGBTQ2 youth say it’s not always an easy conversation to have.

one day I wish I could actually like understand songwriting especially for theatre so that I can I dunno actually put to use the random tunes I have in my head that just spontaneously appear while I'm doing the most mundane of shit. anyways patron has the concept of an opening number now
#im gonma call it Silakbo#the gist of this is um LOOK TO REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT PATRON IS UMM#understand that patron was originally two separate musical ideas whose events occur At The Same Time To Teach Other#so like yea same universe#Patron (pronounce it in the Filipino way) is about modern student activism in the philippines and the nitty gritty of it#Patron (english pronunciation) is about a young filipino playwirght struggles to find their voice in an american landscape (new york)#especially in the context of the events of Filipino Patron#both discuss what it means to be a young filipino revolutionary in this day and age#so um i first thought of this when i was 17-18 - and now im 20 and like the masochist i am i have decided to have them become one project#dual protagonist - one a new and rather sheltered stude of UP Diliman and one decorated young progressive writer in New York#the former is a journey of looking beyond privilege and what it really means to be among the masses#the latter is a story of how privilege blinds - and how susceptible we are to american neoliberalism#that it dulls once sharp pens + the irony of succumbing to such amidst environment and communities that scream for resistance#and whatever one protag does affects the other protag - whatever happens in america affects philippine events and vice versa yay#anyways openign number Silakbo is the arrival of these two protagonists to their respective settings - both with their own musical styles#(UPD protag progresses from broadway belts to pinoy hiphop - NY protag progresses from pinoy hiphop to broadway belts) (this is A Clue)#and most of UPD protag songs will be sung in Filipino while NY Protag will um progressively grow into being fully English#and silakbo can be used synonymously with storm so its basically a storm is coming who's gonna bring it#a change is approaching who's gonna chase it#tbh this out of all of my works is gonna be inspired heavily from lmm's work because tbh this is gonna be a beast to even conceptualise#so um yea thats a mini patron ramble woo hope its um understandable at worst 😭#personal shit#also yes the NY storyline is based on um once progressive Filipinos becoming subservients to conservative and harmful politics#either out of ignorance or power or simple nonchalance#i can name a lot of namess gjdjd

The first woman president will be a racist white Republican, I'll put 100 dollars on it. And the GOP will be so proud of themselves about electing a woman who ran on a platform of their usual fear-mongering dirty tricks, waxing poetic about how it proves they're superior to Democrats for not being able to beat Trump with two female candidates who were more than qualified for the job.
#no predictions about when this takes place but ive had this thought before#i had this thought while nikki haley was running in the primary#given she isn't really white (to my knowledge? she's got south asian heritage right? she changed her last name too?)#but they'll treat it as a big accomplishment bc to them a woman is a woman#and a racist sexist woman is just as good. nay better! than a progressive democrat#or a more centrist democrat#or any democrat#damn there really is no democratic coalition anymore other than progressives and princinpled never-trumpers#everyone else has been subsumed by the gradual normalization of trumpism#i need to stop posting about politics today for my OWN sake. for my own mind#idk if i should go on a screen ban or what#idk what to do. im just... so unhappy#tales from diana#my fellow americans... you are a bunch of unscrupulous ingrates
