It'll eventually happen I'm sure XD

[witch-hazels-musings]

Ginseng, Lavender and wormwood! I’m just such a freaking sucker for soft as you know 🥺

ALSO I TOLD U ALREADY BUT UR EVENTS ALWAYS LOOK SO GORGEOUS AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING?? I WANNA SEE SPOOKY MAGIC NOW HELLO!

(The only magic is how amazing ur writing is tbh)

Ginsing (communication, guidance), Lavender (comfort, calm), Wormwood (nightmares) Xiao x gn reader | Protection Ritual warning: reader nightmare (non-specific), emotional reader, soft xiao (as if there is anything else)

You awoke trembling. Your whole body on high alert transforming the normal, everyday objects in your room into monsters or otherworldly creatures out to consume you. Every breath was a struggle and though you were burning up, the thought of removing your protective blanket seemed impossible.

The benefit of living on your own was freedom. Unrestricted freedom came with making your own rules and defining your own path, but it also meant you were left alone - alone to struggle and piece yourself back together when things fell apart.

Sleep tugged at your eyes but every time you closed them nightmarish images flooded you in sharp, bright flashes until you forced them open. You turned on your side but that only made you feel exposed.

Your bedroom felt claustrophobic. The walls leaned toward you as if to cave in and crush you beneath them. Your bed shrank so you curled your body into a ball to avoid slipping off the edges. You looked to the door that led to the balcony. Moonlight peeked in through the crack below.

Your legs moved on their own, launching you from the bed and toward the door. Sweaty hands grip the nob, flung it open, and gave you the freedom you searched for. The railing felt cool on your skin, the midnight air like river water flowing around you. You gazed at the moon and whispered.

"Shouldn't you be asleep?"

You turned at the sound of Xiao's voice. His body materializing from infinite mist the shade of Liyue's deepest pools. Fear propelled you to him and he caught you without restraint.

His body was warm, surprisingly so. The aura around him always shifted your perspective but his essence put it right again. Spring winds off roaring rivers, morning rain on blooming flowers. You buried your face into his scent and tried to calm your shivering.

"Another nightmare?" he asked, calm and nonjudgemental. You nodded and said nothing. "There, there," he said into the top of your head, his hand sliding across your back as he held you against him.

It took some time for the fear to abate, for the scenes of your haunted imagination to drift away. Xiao never rushed you. Never pushed you away, never told you to move faster than you were ready. He simply stood there, his cheek against your head, his hand at your back.

When you moved and pulled away from him, your cheeks were wet and puffy.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, gaze soft as he looked at you. You rubbed your cheek with the back of your hand and made the redness worse. Xiao pushed your hand away and brushed your face with his cooling, tender touch.

"Better. Thank you." You closed your eyes and let him care for you. When the touch of him faded, you opened them again.

"Do you wish me to stay?" he asked, and felt bad to ruin all the work he had just finished doing.

"Yes, please," you mumbled, voice tight and worn.

"Alright," he hummed and brought your head to lean against his shoulder while his arm slid across the crook of your back to keep you close. "For as long as you need. I will stay."

You wrapped your arms around his neck and relied on his strength until your body gave to sleep or the sun rose for a new day, whichever came first.

This was cute, but what if....

Xiaotian: MK! Save me!

MK: *gasps. Slips out of Wukong's arms and crawls over to Xiaotian* Don't worry Xiaoxiao, I'll save you! *grabs Xiaotian's hands and tries to pull him out of Wukong's hold*

Wukong: *chuckles* Oh no, whatever shall I do against such mighty heroes! *slips on a banana peeling from the Monkeys* Woah! *he regains his footing, but accidentally loses his grip on Xiaotian*

MK: *yelps. Loses his footing and falls, but transforms into monkey form and wraps his tail around Wukong. Holding Xiaotians hands as they dangle precariously from Wukong*

Wukong: *sees MK in Monkey form and his eyes widen in shock* What the-!?

[smilesatdawnmain]

Sooo which twin will get the classic macaque eye scar ?

Technically, neither of the twins will get the "Classis Macaque Eye scar" XD XD But, they also don't avoid it either? One of Xiaotian's clones ends up getting an eye scar from LBD. Similar to how MK will forever have Porty, a clone that has its own sliver of independence. So too will Xiaotian have this clone.

(Heavy Breathing)

I can’t even tell you how much just these few seconds mean to me and if you ever finished-

(Falling to knees)

I would scream thy praise and bestow upon you a gift!! (Probably writings. And drawings. Both. All of the above. As much as you wanted)

Working on two animatics while your glasses are broken is

a struggle.

Japanese G1 continuity is absolutely not normal about girls but damned if they don't give us some of the best ones

There was a significant amount of Transformers continuity released between 1987 and around 2007 that was produced in Japanese and is really only known to most English-speaking fans through fansubs, dubs that were only released in Australia, and the like. Shows like Headmasters, Victory, and Zone. Manga like Victory and 15 Go Go Go Teletraan (which was really mostly Kiss Players). Radio shows like Kiss Players.

I'm gonna be super up front. Japanese G1 is not normal about femmes in any way, shape or form. At the same time, it gave us some of the BEST and most underused female characters in the Transformers universe.

Headmasters, which came out right after the US G1 show ended, is particularly egregious. In Headmasters, Arcee has been reduced to Fort Max's administrative assistant, uses ridiculously polite and subservient language, and is also the only medic. And being a medic would be kind of badass if they let her be as badass as Ratchet, you know? But they absolutely do not.

Also, in Headmasters, Carly (now married to Spike) allows her son--a freaking child, not even a teenager--to go on missions when Spike can't and a human is needed, because uh, for some reason it's better for a 12 year old boy to go, not an adult woman?

But most of the good femmes don't come from Headmasters. And some of the best femmes we have are from Japanese G1.

Super-God Masterforce made it up to us by giving gave us Minerva, a human girl who is a Headmaster with a robot body (transtector) making her basically a bad ass mecha pilot, and who actively does fight.

The Victory manga gives us Esmeral, Deathsaurus' incredibly classy wife, and Lyzack, Leozack's twin sister, who is in charge of defending the homefront but really does want to go out and fight. Illumina appears in both the Victory manga and the anime. She's a little human girl who has a crush on Jan Minakaze and is always trying to get people to choose nonviolence.

(Lyzack later appears in an English-language comic - the Wings Universe--wherein she's basically Deathsaurus' servant and Starscream hits on her. I don't like that.)

There are a number of great femmes who were only ever toys. The Cobalt Sentries set gave us Howlback, leader of the Decepticon military police (called the Cobalt Sentries). She is basically Ravage's twin sister but instead of being super stealthy she can turn your attacks right back on you.

(Later she appears in several English language comics and in at least one she is canonically trans. I'm not a fan of her depiction in the SG Recordicons Batman tribute arc, though.)

The Unite Warriors toyline - Takara's response to Combiner Wars, basically - gave us the combiner Megatronia, made up of Megaempress, and her four guards, Lunaclub (sometimes called Luna Clover or Luna Trefle), Flowspade, Moonheart, and Trickdiamond. They are incredibly awesome.

(IDW 2019 used Trickdiamond, but none of the others. Tricky was one of Swindle's contacts.)

Then there's the elephant in the room that everyone pretends isn't there...Kiss Players.

So, okay. There is nothing normal about Kiss Players whatsoever. On the other hand, I'd rather listen to KP than watch RID2015 which is just blatant copaganda from hell.

Kiss Players had an interesting plot involving little bits of Galvatron and Unicron getting into humans and creating the Kiss Players--humans who could give TFs a powerup by kissing them and then merging with their internals somehow. Then there are the Legions, the dick-tongued monsters that everyone who hasn't actually listend to the show or read the manga thinks are Megatron.

The dick-tongued monsters are gross. It is also gross that some of the Kiss Players are barely teenagers and definitely not adults and are constantly ending up in Situations.

But the plot centres around the apparent rise of Convoy, or Optimus, from the dead, and his transformation into a weird groomery dude, which many people don't understand there was an actual reason for, because it's not Optimus, it's someone else riding around in his body.

Melissa Faireborn is like if you chopped Marissa Faireborn's IQ in half, dyed her hair blond and threw out any pants or skirts that covered her knees. She is nothing like Marissa and I treat them as cousins, but Xiaoxiao Li is amazing and her real lover.

Anyhow, this female scientist (Dr Amaou) lost her mind over the loss of her daughter during the events of the 1986 movie et sequelae, and she's got to be stopped from turning Atari and her Autorooper robot pal into a permanent fusion to reincarnate her daughter Shizuku (whom for some reason I always want to call Setsuna instead).

It's a little confusing because most of the really good parts of the plot got jammed into a few episodes near the end of the season, although once you know what it is, it's clear that it's being set up. That artist just likes borderline lolicon way too much.

The second season of KP is very squeaky clean and sends the girls out to collect what they think are Allspark fragments, and they are very annoyed because Ravage, whom they call "black panther man" keeps getting in their way and fucking with them, only to later find out that the bots who gave them this task are Unicronian heralds and Ravage is trying to stop them from helping Unicron do what Unicron does.

Rosanna, everyone's favourite robot pop idol, comes from the second season of KP, although you don't see very much of her or her companions Glit and Sundor.

Incidentally KP sets up the Unicron Trilogy and some of its characters end up in the UT--which did come to the US, and gave us Alexis Thi Dang.

(This post is brought to you because I just wrote an Esmeral thing and someone was musing separately about Megaempress as a parent and I almost ended up writing this post while reblogging them, because I'm a nerd with a hyperfixation).

Oh my gosh! My son! My child!

Thank you so much for drawing this!!

Aghhh oh my gosh you discuss it together?!?! That is literally so wholesome and sweet and I am honored!!!!

Just a little bit of fanart I drew from @smilesatdawnmain fic Taken on ao3. It is genuinely myself and my sister’s favourite fic on there and we love their character Xiaotian so so much. Discussing our theories of where the fic is going and looking through fan art is one of our favourite bonding exercises!

Shooting the Tiger by Xiaoxiao Xu portrays the traditional festival Shèhuŏ in the Northwest of China. Farmers invoke blessings for an abundant and fruitful harvest, through theatrical performances, songs, and acrobatics. It is the festival that welcomes the warmth of spring, the joy of blossoming trees.
