#STILL GOING TO SCOLD HIM

[deathfavor]

@diivineray said: WOUNDED // peiwen !!

KNOCK-KNOCK PROMPTS [ WOUNDED ]: sender arrives at the receiver's door with considerable injuries, in dire need of help and emergency care that only the receiver is either trusted enough or convenient enough to provide.

There's a distinct THUD at the palace doors that breaks Ling Wen's focus and draws her eyes upwards. It's odd because she isn't expecting anyone nor has she received notice of anyone suddenly dropping by. She presses her lips together but curiosity is enough to draw her up and to open the doors to see who or what has come to her doors at this moment.

She doesn't expect to nearly get crushed under the weight of a body the moment her doors open. Ling Wen manages to half catch Pei Ming with a strained groan ; supports him enough to be able to slowly lower him to the ground rather than letting GRAVITY pull him down full force. She'd almost chide him for getting too drunk. But he's not drunk, and something warm covers her hands. ( She knows what it is even without breathing life into the thought. She knows. )

" Ol' Pei? " Ling Wen whispers as she strains to get him onto his back, strands of steel-blue hair slipping from her careful hairstyle while her forehead beads with sweat at the effort. But she succeeds and she doesn't care about the blood that smears on her cheek as she wipes at her face and takes in the sight. He looks terrible. He's pale, his strength fleeing, and there's too much blood. Her hands are soaked in it and even she is left helpless and uncertain for the briefest of moments. She needs to do something. NOW.

" Ol' Pei, you idiot! " Ling Wen hisses as she unceremoniously yanks away the silk belt and pushes his bloody robes open to find the worst wound. There's several bad ones but- there. Her hands firmly press against the wound, trying to slow the bleeding while her eyes narrow with stress. She's killed men, she doesn't save them. His skin is burning beneath her freezing cold fingers, but maybe the shock will help. " You absolute fool. Why did you come here? You should have called for the medical gods or gone there. " She scolds him, forcing her voice to be firm despite how much she wants to tremble. " Men, you're all idiots. " She adds with a click of her tongue while she snaps at the medical gods in the communication array to get to her now.

Blood has never bothered her. His does. Ling Wen doesn't want Pei Ming's blood on her hands in ANY sense of the phrase but it is. Her throat tightens as she glances up from the wound to look towards his face. Ignores how her hair starts to unravel like she feels like she is. " Keep your eyes open, or I'll never forgive you. " She warns, lifting her hands off of him only long enough to yank off her outer jacket and press it to the wound, hoping the fabric will help along with the pressure. She doesn't know what to do beyond this. Breathe. ( It's funny. She feels more panicked now than she did when she was mortal and given the death sentence for her act of treason in her literary prose. )

" The medical team will be here shortly. " Ling Wen informs him, her voice strained to sound normally. No one else would notice it with how subtle it is ; she knows if Pei Ming's conscious he'll notice it. He always is able to. Her hands can't afford to shake and they don't, but her eyes squeeze shut briefly as she exhales slowly and tries to shove away all her thoughts. " Seriously. I don't know anything about healing. Helping answer prayers for students doesn't mean I know all that information. " She whisper-hisses at him, an attempt at vague humor while time drags on. " Just a bit longer, Ol' Pei. " He'll be fine. She's confident of that. It does nothing for her here and now when she's covered in his blood.

Early Sibuna is my favorite thing ever because HOW CAN 3 PEOPLE BE THAT CHAOTIC AND STUPID???? I love them so much.

if jiang cheng, wei wuxian, lan wangji and lan xichen all got turned into rabbits and the juniors had to coparent them, jin ling would obviously take care of jiujiu-bun, lan sizhui would take care of bun-xian, lan jingyi would take care of bun-ji (so wangxian could stay together) and ouyang zizhen would take care of zewu-bun 🐰

Etoiles: Cellbit, I don't understand. You were really happy that I protect everyone in your wedding, and now you're against me–

Cellbit: No!

Etoiles: –just because of power?

Cellbit: No it's not about power, it's about protecting. You're still– you're my rival, but you're not my enemy.

Etoiles: Oh ok, I understand...

Foolish: [Distantly] Wooo I can't wait to use this Netherite sword! (Illegal item)

Cellbit: DON'T DO THIS FOOLISH, he's tricking you!

Etoiles: Cellbit, do you know that Roier has a Netherite sword, and he's using every day? [Laughs]

Cellbit: ...No he's not, stop talking sh*t about my husband, man.

Etoiles: [Laughs] I'm not talking sh*t, I'm saying– I'm saying straight facts because I know every stuff on this server.

Cellbit: ...Well, good thing then, it's a good thing you know everything already, so you don't need to be president then, huh?

Etoiles: [Laughs] Cellbit, you're the best, man.

Cellbit: Aw thank you Etoiles, I like you too, man.

Etoiles: Just chill, man, just chill.

Cellbit: Yeah, of course, of course.

Okay, but I do have an AU version of that AU in my head where Dick Grayson returns to earth and manages to find Annabeth (and Thalia and Luke) living in the streets before they make it all the way to Camp Halfblood.

We can explore the implications of that for Thalia and Luke in a different post, but basically Annabeth still has to go to CHB for large portions of the year, she attracts too many monsters, but when she isn't there, Dick Grayson has unofficial custody for quite awhile while Bruce gets his shit together.

The crack fic version of that AU of an AU has Annabeth trying to manipulate her way into arranging a meeting between Chiron and Roy Harper because her brother's friends have been kind to her and if one of them is going to be an archer, they should be the BEST archer so that they can keep Dick alive longer.

No one is more surprised than Chiron when he actually agreed to give Roy some "pointers", although he trained fully human heroes in the Ancient Days.

And to be fair to Roy his brain is stuck trying to work its way around fact that his friend's little sister staged an emergency to introduce him to a man who's half horse. He's kind of mad, which, fair. That said, once the actual archery lesson starts and he realizes that Chiron really is that much of an expert, he immediately gets into it.

Which is how a panicked Dick Grayson bursts into the scene a few hours later, expecting something terrible has happened to Anna & Roy because Roy isn't responding to comms.

Only to find his best friend arguing with a centaur about some obscure fact of aerodynamics while Annabeth is perched nearby watching, legs swinging, eating way too many popsicles and occasionally calling out questions when her curiosity gets the better of her.

Dick isn't sure whether to be pissed, relieved, or just plain confused, but he for sure isn't letting Anna OR Roy live that one down for years.

And if he also gets distracted and listens in to some of Chiron's archery explanations, well, it's always good to know your teammates' full potential.

i keep going back to the ekky cam&strick podcast interview if not for the fact they got him to talk about the whole media storm during game 7 because 1. we almost get him saying "get off our dicks" 2. we get petty ekky and 3. hes like "im a happy guy i love everyone" as he looks down like a scolded puppy for admitting to all that

What’s a genuinely sweet moment with Jo?

drawing for a scene in the TME light novel (specifically, Paris helping out Lyla!!).

I drew this scene immediately after I read it because oh my god of all the things I was expecting from Paris's first introduction, him lending a (unneeded) helping hand to Lyla was NOT what i thought his first introduction would be like

Thinking abt Taru fresh out of the Abyss, out with his siblings and spotting a rabbit or small animal. Instincts & habit kicking in ( those seldom lasted long in the Abyss, get it while he can, bring it to share with Master- ), him immediately setting to hunt and kill the creature then proudly bringing it back to his family, all smiles and blood-spattered, and being utterly thrown by the fact that he was not met with mildly disinterested praise, but sheer horror instead-

The idea of Anakin trying to “fix” what he did as Vader (or more like redeem himself, since what he did can't be ‘fixed’) by helping people all over the galaxy as a Force Ghost does something to me

Shounen protag Firestar is awesome and cool and I love those types of designs, especially with the fire motif lending well to anime hair, but I know when I get to him, I want to make him look kind of like a geek? At least when he's Firepaw/Fireheart. I always saw him as the type that, while gullible and easy to persuade, is always questioning things and seeking out knowledge. He wants to learn each and every type of clan job there is, and he's all too willing to sniff around when Tigerclaw is acting suspicious. He's definitely an action guy, but he uses his head a lot and takes special care when making tough decisions, something that he honed when he became deputy.

So in my hypo-rewrite au, I wanna lean into this a bit. He joins the clan ready to stuff his brain with every bit of clan culture, their festivities, their training, their contruction, their meals, their practices, and he even becomes a bit of a medic assistant, spending a lot of time with Spottedleaf in the medic's den (NOT romantically like in canon, I wanna retool Spotty as well, but she's a mentor figure the same way Bluestar and Yellowfang are). He's ambitious, he is that guy who is striving for that 4.0 GPA, he wants to prove himself and be in every single type of patrol. And this combined with his knowledge from when he was a kittypet, makes it easier for him to note when things don't line up, and when that happens, he's shoving his nose in it.

But he's book smart, but not street smart. When he goes into a conversation unprepared, he can be tricked pretty easily with "Um, Tigerclaw was obviously at the border with brokenstar's lackeys cause he was telling em off, DUH." Because he still wants to see the best in people despite that- and that can be a double edged sword. So while he's a little detective, yeah he needs the help sometimes. He's also not great with thinking on the spot, he needs a lot of time to ponder what action he's going to take on sniffing out evidence for his case. He doesn't really hone this until he's deputy.

I think I just encountered one of those middle schoolers operating at a fourth grade level that tiktok teachers have been talking about.
