Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival

(Part 2)

My dearest Witch, if you have spell vessels (like wards, amulets, talismans) that are running down every 1-2 weeks and you are fully recharging them with your personal energy, and subsequently you feel exhausted and have almost no energy for anything else,

you are not weak at magic;

I will bet you that you are choosing the nuclear option of high-octane megafuel supernova magic where you pump fast-burning, high-intensity energy into vessels likely not designed for long-term energy storage.

Because repeatedly exhausting yourself is not a good way to increase your magical endurance, I think it is likely that your spellcasting strategy has locked you into a cycle of near constant high-energy output with no reserves left over to undertake techniques that actually allow you to get stronger, nor any reserves left to build long-lasting magical vessels that conserve the power you give them.

[remembertheplunge]

My name is Lew

I am a elder criminal defense lawyer. I have been keeping journals for 47 years as of September 14, 1977.

I came out as a gay man in 1984. I was married to a woman then. I left the marriage after telling her I was gay.

My younger sister, Zoe, who I was very close to, died rather suddenly of pancreatic cancer in May of 2023. She gave me permission to blog the last two weeks of her life. Those blogs run from May 1 to May 14, 2023.

I journaled my journey through the turbulent 1980's and 1990's. During that time, I was pretty vocal about being gay. I volunteered to help people with aids through their illness and death. And, I believe because of this, I was fired from my job as a deputy Public Defender in Modesto California. I also documented the 12 year relationship I had with my partner, Jim, who died in 2009.

I wrote pretty much daily about these events and many others. I never intended for the entries to be made public. But, I now think they should be, as they weave what I believe to be our common story of what it's been like to be out, human and gay in the past four decades.

And, as I journaled, I developed ideas and ways to journal and wrote about them in the journals. I discuss the impact journaling has had on me. And, the amazing revelation reviewing journal entries for the blog and book of just how incredible our lives have been. Memory fades. The journal details do not.

Since Trump was elected for a second term on November 5, 2024, I have also begun to explore resistance in my blog against the coming repressive regime.

From @theaffablescamp 's series Hunger Pains.

It's seriously one of my favorite Radioapple fics

it's obviously for exposition reasons but CP9 showing up in Water 7 and IMMEDIATELY unveiling themselves and fully explaining who they are and how their organization works is so funny

Lucci spent 5 years pretending he could only communicate through pigeon ventriloquism, and as soon as he stops he doesn’t shut up. Just immediately yapping about being secret government agents, the structure of their covert organization (that's not supposed to exist), and world government's secret plans for mass destruction. Starting to think Hattori was actually a safeguard so they could make it that long undercover

I find it so funny when the dragon riders get competitive (especially in the TV shows) and think they can beat Hiccup at anything when it comes to dragons

like dude. Come on. He literally discovered the techniques they use. He's been riding and handling dragons the longest out of anyone. Hell he taught EVERYONE how to do it in the first place. He is a master of his craft.

and they think they can BEAT him?

(I'm not caught up to the anime yet, but I'm a firm believer that there's no wrong time to rewatch Water 7)

Rewatching Water 7 with @bluegreeblin has led to some moments in time, to be sure

A very neat fact about the hunter-nin of Mist: they have a special barrier ninjutsu that can protect specific body parts [such as an eye or a hand] and this jutsu is so important and secretive that not even the Mizukage knows how it works or how to get rid of it. The only ones who know the process are fellow hunter-nin

Given my overall headcanons for Kohari, I fully believe she taught this barrier to Iruka, swearing him to utmost secrecy as she did. Not even Ikkaku knew they could use it. This barrier is how he managed to take a fuma straight to the spine and not end up fucking paralysed - he passes it off as just being lucky, which nobody questions because luck is the name of the game as a shinobi, but really he used the barrier to protect his spine, causing the fuma to slide off and lodge itself to the side of the column instead

Still a terrifying back wound that could've had dire consequences and causes him chronic pain and limits what stretches and movements he can do, but no longer as bad as it would've been had he not made the split second activation

he's so stupid

I’m so obsessed with the idea of Avatar Mako (not because I hate women, stfu Korra is still kicking ass, but just water-bending style in this AU) because the idea of an orphaned kid living on the streets, working with gangs, and fighting in underground bending rings while trying to raise his younger brother, not giving a shit about who the Avatar is or where they are, being the Avatar without knowing is so good.

Maybe his parents knew because when he was a kid, they did some little rituals or something to see if he was an earth or fire bender or if he even was one at all. But they never told him (or anyone else) because they were going to wait until he was sixteen, like traditional. So, they just went with fire-bending because of his appearance and because fire is probably more dangerous untrained, and more likely to be done on accident. (I choose to believe fire sneezing is a very real risk)

Anyway, I just.. I love this AU so much.
