SKETCH IN UNDERCUT

[miyamiwu]

Left is Up; Right is Down

This is a continuation of Red and Green; Up and Down (aka Traffic Light Theory)

In traffic light theory, I talked about how, in Mandarin Chinese, time is viewed vertically: The past is above you, while the future is below you. Thus, Past is Up, and Future is Down.

However, Yingdu is fictional England. And in English, time is viewed horizontally: The past is behind you, while the future is ahead of you.

But as there are no Behind and Ahead in the four cardinal directions, let’s just adopt the two directions on the x axis, Left and Right. And since English is also written from left to right, then we can say: Past is Left, and Future is Right.

So, in the context of time, Left and Up are the same, and so are Right and Down. To summarize:

Past = Left/Behind = Up

Future = Right/Ahead = Down

(Remember the list above. It will be important.)

Miya, why are you talking about more directions? Was Up and Down not confusing enough???

Because Vein is fucking ambidextrous. That’s why!

In YE1, he uses his Left hand to hold a gun meant to punish Lu Guang for changing the Past.

But in the YE2 nightmare, he uses his Right hand in a Green room while chasing Lu Guang Down:

Then, in the Red room, Vein’s Left hand is emphasized when he pulls Lu Guang Back (Behind)

In YE3, when Vein reaches out to save Xia Fei who was Under(Down)-water, he uses his Right hand:

But after he pulls him Up, his right hand is completely hidden while his Left hand is in focus

Conclusion

Once again, I bring you no definitive answers. But there’s definitely something about Vein’s hands and how he uses them for his power (whatever it may be). I’m still waiting for a Vein-centric episode to confirm my speculations.

But for now, I’m dragging the rest of the fandom into confusion :3

lord its so dark in here the sahara desert of tsaritsa content you are like a shining oasis. your characterisation of her compels me & mihoyo would be hard pressed to top it imo.!! caaaaan i humbly request yr thoughts on her first meeting w a reader of any kind, or maybe even multiple kinds (sagau, sagau god au, isekai, etc) if you so desire...

it really is like a desert here. being the fan of a character we aren't getting until the last damn nation is driving me up a wall but i will persevere bc if nothing else i support morally bankrupt women in media. we r in a severe drought over here but i do my best. unfortunately nothing i say is ever coherent so pull out your translation notes its abt 2 be messy

also this got out of hand but thats bc first meetings w the tsaritsa are tricky to write + a LOT of her characterization lies in deeper exploration then just surface level yknow...NOT A DIG AT YOU this is just my excuse for rambling. gently pats the tsaritsa she can hold so much complexity i do not have the word count to delve into it completely :]

gonna talk cult au for a bit here though because that's 99% of my content. and honestly? she thrives in sub au's of the cult au like villain au + imposter au. it's basically made for her. i mean, early days, the imposter au had been going around for a little while but one of the first few ideas was the Fatui taking reader in so like. it kinda technically actually was. pretty sure cult au Tsaritsa popped up because of the imposter au. a lot of it's writers kinda left though which. man am i getting old or.

anyway.

there isn't much of a chance her first impression is all that positive. at best it's usually neutral, imo, but rarely if ever positive. specifically because i view the Tsaritsa as someone who isn't as fanatical as most of the acolytes typically are towards the creator. she's not exactly going to worship the ground you walk on unlike a certain geo lizard. which is partially why i think she thrives in the sub au's i mentioned.

imposter au, for example. she meets you at your lowest. there's no gaudy extravagance or pampering from the acolytes waiting for you because your own acolytes have turned on you. for all intents and purposes you aren't a "god" at all. which is why i don't think she meshes well with normal cult au reader. the Fatui are made up of outcasts, basically, and imposter au slots right in just perfectly. you're weak, at your lowest, when you meet the Fatui in the imposter au. and the Fatui can help you, too.

a mutual exchange, really. the Tsaritsa sees a tool she can use to one up the rest of the nations and especially Archons, and she has no qualms about you using her and the Fatui in turn. you both want something out of it, after all. whether you just want to be safe from the rest of the acolytes, or you want revenge, or whatever else..she'll give you the power to fulfill it, and she gains the strongest piece on the chessboard when all is said and done.

the best way i can describe the first meeting is "practical", i suppose. she sees an opportunity in you. the ultimate gamble. because if she "saves" you, and you dont trust anyone else because they tried to kill you, well..she holds all the cards, doesn't she?

but the Tsaritsa, imo, is just as capable of being just as fanatical towards you as anyone else. she just won't worship you as the creator. but as yourself? clawing your way back to your divine power and taking back what belongs to you? the Tsaritsa is, to me, a character who's character flourishes in long-term fics more because she changes a LOT between "just met reader" and after having been with reader for some time. she's practically apathetic at the beginning but a lot of her character, in my characterization, shines through LONG after the first meeting.

So F1nnster just came out as genderfluid but still I super fucking hate him. Making trap content and constantly making money off of a performance of being a fake girl, getting a name change and gender marker change and posting about going through that all while basically shoving it in the faces of trans women who have struggled over years and years. You've been a performance and you've gained wealth essentially making fun of us and enforcing horrible stereotypes, and saying "Yeah I just don't care about gender" Does Not Make Me Fucking Forgive Any Of That. What fucking hatred you've tossed onto your channel towards trans women will not go away easily, and Fuck You.

i quickly wrote a little something inspire by this art by @natendo-art!

Loki's eyes fall down the man’s torso, where his t-shirt has ridden up and his sweatpants have sagged slightly, revealing the waistband of his underwear as well as the slight pudge of his lower belly. While Mobius is interested in building muscle and toning up, he doesn’t seem too interested in becoming lean or thinning his physique out. That is to say, Loki sure is grateful that the perfect expanse of plump flesh is still ever present for him to sink his teeth into, to kiss and nibble at.

Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Loki/Mobius M. Mobius Additional Tags: mobius tummy supremacy, that's all i have to say honestly, domestic lokius, Slice of Life, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Blow Jobs, mobius is a little insecure but loki squashes that real quick, Not Beta Read

im kinda glad i was a tiny child when windwaker came out and i only played it years later without having internet access for the longest time bc i would have NOT survived the hatred i know ww got when it first came out bc it wasnt what most people expected (ww is my fav zelda)

loving botw but not liking totk and seeing the vast majority praise the latter like its the holy grail while alot also discrediting and needlessly hating on botw for it is already making it hard to stay calm about :U

Causing a Bloody Mess in the Pursuit of Homoeroticism - jinjae, 2.9k words

Yoojin was stumbling along the dimly lit alleyway with no real idea of where it led. He felt dizzy, his vision swimming so much, it was a miracle he hadn’t yet fallen. Distantly, he knew he couldn’t allow himself to be seen by anyone, though he wasn’t entirely sure why. All he knew was that he was so incredibly hungry. - Yoojin gets in some trouble. Hyunjae finds him.
