things about Kimi ni Todoke that I didn't expected that I would love so much:

the cool and popular™ main boy is actually pretty chill and normal but he falls for the awkward unintentionally scary™ girl first. and HARD. LIKE POOR BOY IS FULL FACE BLUSHING AT HER SMILE ALONE;

the love rival girl and the main girl resolve their differences and (funnily one-sided) rivalry and become best friends;

the first best friends of the main girl can be considered mean delinquents at first but as things turns outs, they're very sweet and caring. truly caring, 100% supportive and certified comedy duo™;

the main boy's male best friend is the definition of chill;

PEDRO MARTÍNEZ;

the male teacher is ridiculous and amazingly supportive and cool, all at the same time and it's hilarious;

the cool blonde dude with zero awareness is pretty funny, honest and despite all flaws, you kinda want to protect him too in the end;

main girl has the cutest parents in existence;

"and that, kids, is how your mother gave me a bellyband that was actually made for your grandpa in our first Christmas together before we even start dating";

December 31th has a whole sweet new meaning now;

everything can be solved with a bit of this easy thing called ~COMMUNICATION~ and here's our 123 chapter manga to prove;

would you be willing to talk about the different red tailed hawk colour morphs/variations?

Yeah sure!

Quick preliminary ramble, I assume this was about me saying that one hawk was a "probable Krider's" cuz it was very lightly marked + the location, and Krider's isn't a morph itself, it's a subspecies. I don't do much with subspecies because they are a scam created big by taxonomy to sell more genetic analysis(kidding. real reason is that they are very finnicky, get reorg'd a lot, and just aren't my thing). To me, RTHA is RTHA is RTHA. However I CAN talk about RTHA morphs, because if there is one thing buteos love, its have variable plumage(except RSHA, who does not do this, because they love me)

First lets set up a quick baseline. This is the platonic ideal of a RTHA

Dark, prominent, neat patagial bars, a thin but prominent belly band, red tail, clear throat and breast, dark head, clear flanks

Now the morphs: There are three main "morphs", and nobody can agree on what they are. For simplicities sake, discounting that platonic ideal up there(which I think most would call intermediate), I'm gonna talk about light morph, dark morph, and rufous morph.

Here are some pretty extreme light morphs, like this is the far end of the variability scale

Light head, barely visible or almost completely absent bellyband, really really lightly marked patagials, "bleached" reddish tail bordering on white with thin to no bars and no terminal band

This ones a bit less extreme, but you can still see what I mean. Very lightly marked, but it still looks like a RTHA lmfao(i swear its the white head that does it)

Some extreme dark morphs

Fully brown chest, you can just barely, if you squint, deliniate a very very thick belly band from the slightly lighter throat, but yeah, basically the whole bird is dark brown. You can't really make out the patagials either.

Sometimes they'll have pretty prominent dark terminal bands on their tails, which are never quite that bright brick red, but that might be ssp dependent, and as we've established, ssp scare me.

Rufous morphs: AKA they dunked my man in some chilli

Pretty similar to dark morph(and I think is occasionally lumped in with it, barring again, ssp shit), but the bellyband is more visible in contrast to the more red chest/throat/flanks. These guys are mostly notable for being constantly misid'd as RSHA by randos on iNat for some reason

Bonus: Partially Leucistic

Why are you white

any taxonomists or orinthologists feel free to yell at me for my complete disregard of subspecies, but i will not listen

FOX TALES: LUFFY x ZORO x OC (VASYA IN HEAT 👀🔥)

fox tales

(cw: smut, threesome, polyamory, breeding kink, kitty!play, misuse of haki, dirty talk, vaginal sex, doggy style, cunnilingus, cum play/eating, daddy kink, being in heat, geez this is reminding me of old destiel fanfictions where i first discovered soooo many kinks. lmao)

thinking about...

Vasya being in heat and needing Zoro to help Luffy fuck her brains out

Luffy holding Vasya in his arms, half-awake and mewling, to Zoro’s bunk to ask for an extra dick and pair of hands. like, panting and flushed with Vasya pulling at his clothes, already having gone so many rounds in a row.

(a/n: what do we feel about third person vs. second person? i know first person is not my personal favorite, and second person seems to be the standard use, the narrator being "you." buuuut i really like writing in third person, esp about my oc! she's Vasya and i wanna say her name!!! also it makes my heart happy to write about her and Luffy together. they make me smile :)

Songs: "STUPID BIG TEETH" by EMMY

words: 2.8

“Zoro!” Luffy pants, a squirreling Vasya in his arms. He’s standing outside Zoro’s door, midnight air pooling in from above deck. Zoro is half-asleep, good eye still crusted from sleep.

“What’s wrong?” He groggily asks, not clocking the red forming on Vasya’s cheeks, or her scrabbled claws at Luffy’s shirt collar. He's wearing a black t-shirt, thrown on inside out and backwards. The white tag hangs from the front of his collar. Vasya is pulling at it now, trying to drag it off Luffy's shoulders. He grimaces, trying not to drop her at the same time as he fends her off.

"Kitty's in heat!" Luffy huffs, adjusting her weight in his arms. Her tails are all puffed out, fluffy and white, and her ears are flat against her head. She's not wearing much, herself.

Zoro opens the door wider.

"Come in."

***

Zoro holds you against his broad chest, shirtless, while Luffy spreads your legs on the bed. Each of the crewmates got their own room on the Sunny, and Zoro's bedroom is a reflection of him: sparse, minimalist, and sleepy. His bed is really the only piece of furniture in it, besides a dresser with a bellyband slung over an open drawer, t-shirts spilling out underneath. It smells musky, like him, but not entirely unpleasant. Like black coffee and thyme.

"Luffyyy," you whine, arching your back against him. "I need you."

"I know, baby," he says, sitting up with your legs around his waist. He spreads his hands along your waist, leaning forward to kiss you. You whimper, the ache in your core nigh-on unbearable. Hot lava roils in your chest, flaring all the way down your spine to your toes. It's so inconvenient to be a fox, sometimes.

"I was wondering why you two have been so fuckin' chaotic lately," Zoro rumbles against your back. You lean into him, ears flicking around his face as you rest your head against his shoulder. He shifts, around you. "Is that the courtship you were talkin' about?"

Luffy nods.

His voice and demeanor are dark, intense. Like a crow assessing a particularly thrilling puzzle. He runs a hand through his jet-black hair. "Yeah, she's so mischievous this time of year, apparently. And bitey," he hooks his fingers into your underwear, and starts to slide them down your kicking legs. You moan, twisting your spine against Zoro's chest. You can't think; all there is is heat.

"Play," you say, small. Luffy hushes you, kissing along your stomach. Zoro tightens his hold around your waist.

"Naughty fox," he chides you, gently. "Gimme a sec," his voice is raspy, drenched in lust from hours-long play sessions previous. You're grateful for his stamina.

Zoro plants a kiss on your heated shoulder. "S'okay, sweetheart" he whispers, "Be a good kitten and hold still." He rubs his jaw against your cheek, the rough stubble scraping your skin. You nuzzle against the welcome touch. You, Zoro, and Luffy had already agreed on helping fill your needs together.

Luffy finally dips his head down to your cunt, bypassing foreplay to start biting at your clit. You yelp, jumping a bit in Zoro's arms. He shushes you, carefully stroking his fingers over your stomach.

"Ya like bites, don'tcha, kitty?" Luffy asks from between your legs, his breath hot and ticklish on your dripping ache. You nod, feral.

He licks and sucks at your sensitivity. The pleasure drips down your limbs, hot and sticky like honey. You moan, relaxing finally into Zoro's steady weight. He smells like pine trees. You're grateful for his strength. And Luffy's, too, as he starts to pump you full of haki-hardened fingers. Glass toys are your favorite, and his iron skin is the closest thing akin to the weight and press of glass. He's not cold, though. He's hotter than you are, striking heat like a match against your cunt. You hitch a short breath, sharp in your lungs.

"Please," you moan, "Please, captain, fuck me?"

Luffy groans, stilling his fingers inside you. He rubs at the spot you love, glancing his eyes up to Zoro's. "Ya don't want him first?"

You shiver down Zoro's abs, hot and soft behind you. You shake your head. "Nuh uh, daddy. You first."

Luffy grins, shrugging for Zoro's benefit. "Alright, vixen. Sorry, Zoro." He giggles. He hooks your legs over his shoulders, getting up to kneel. He kicks off his hastily thrown-off shorts (which he'd flung on as you'd begged him to take you to Zoro's room with him) and comes back to settle in the home he's made between your legs.

He presses his cock at your entrance. You're already soaked. Zoro reaches down to finger your clit, rubbing it in slow circles. He breathes heavily against your shoulder. He sinks his teeth into the flesh. You moan, loving the burn. You're so feral like this, leaning into every instinct of a carrion-predator, wanting to hide and moan and run and cum all at the same time. It's so chaotic, a myriad of whirlwind emotions circling inside your psyche.

Your body just wants more.

Luffy starts to press his cockhead inside you, warm and stretching you out oh-so-deliciously. You hum, finally feeling a little at peace. The weight of his cock is anchoring you like a rock in a storm.

"Fuuuuuck," you moan, feeling your tails shiver of their own accord. There's no blue light this time, no spirit-dust flickering off you like fireflies. It's all just flesh and blood and meat and bone.

You're viscerally afraid, alive, awakening. Clarity only just out of reach as you see stars in your vixen's eyes.

Luffy tethers you back to earth, kissing your hand that he then gathers at his chest. His heart is racing beneath your fingertips. "Love ya, baby," he growls lowly. You whimper, nodding along.

"Love you too, Luffy!" His name is sweet on your tongue, spiced like mead in winter. He is your sun in winter. The flame in the hearth, the embers at sunset. The baking bread aside the coals. You want him, so badly. You ache for it, twitching hungrily as you sink his cock further into your heated walls. He gasps, loudly.

"Quiet," Zoro warns, knocking back against the headboard behind him. His eye is half-closed in lust, as you crane your neck to watch him talk. "Could wake someone up."

"Who cares?" Luffy emphasizes with a particular thrust, "Everyone knows we're fucking, anyway."

True.

Zoro snorts, and starts playing with your over-sensitive tits. His fingerpads are rough as sandpaper, and you gasp. "Z-Zoro!" You protest, arcing away from him. You don't go far, though, sandwiched between both his and Luffy's steel frames as you are.

"Whaaat, ya don't like me?" He grins at your ear. (You have both sets of ears: mortal and fox). "Thought ya wanted us both to breed ya. Huh, pretty vixen? Don't ya want both your men inside your cunt?"

"Fuck--!" you breathe, arcing your tails in wild shapes against him. He pushes them down, shoving them out of the way with one arm. Two out of nine peek out from his grasp. "Want you both," you mutter, prayer-like. Desperation heats your core as Luffy's pounds become sweet and scattered, him already reaching his climax for the nth time tonight.

"Lu-uffy," you grunt, feeling him speed up inside you. His hips slap against your ass, loud and unashamed, as he spills his seed inside you. It leaks out and around his cock, dripping with your slick onto Zoro's mattress. Sorry, Zoro.

"Your turn," Luffy huffs, falling over without grace onto his side. He poofs into the covers, snoring already. A blue bubble pops in and out of his face. Zoro sighs, reaching down from your tits to your ass, pushing you forward onto all fours.

"Sit," he says, stroking his cock behind your ass. He slaps the thick, heavy weight against your thigh. You gasp, skin prickling in surprise. You've never taken him from behind, before.

Doggy style's your favorite.

Zoro wastes no time in stuffing you full of his hard cock, impatiently throbbing from watching Luffy fuck you. He starts a rhythm, hard and fast, slapping against your ass cheeks with rippling force. You feel the soft parts of you shake with his movements. It feels so good to have your tits swinging for him, your nipples hard and sensitive. You reach under yourself, supporting your weight on three limbs, to thumb at your own buds.

Zoro grunts, reaching down to slap your hands away. He pushes your face down, gasping as you go, as you realize he's grabbed some of Luffy's cum to smear it all over your face. It's cold and slick, sticking to your cheeks from Zoro's fingers. He scoops up another blob of his captain's cum, and shoves it into your open mouth. You take it, panting hotly. It tastes like shit but it's still so good.

"Huh, ya like that?" He asks you roughly, pinning your arms behind your back. His breath is ragged as he pounds into you from behind. Your pussy clenches down, hard. "Ah, I fuckin' feel how much you like that, dirty girl," he grits his teeth as he slams his hips against your ass. He slows his pace, long and lazy, but still rocking you to your core. You scream, hoarse.

"F-fuck, Zoro! Yes! Yes, yes, yesyesyesyes--," Luffy cuts you off, roughly shoving his fingers into your face. He fucks your mouth with his thick digits, eyes hazy and half-lidded from lust and sleep. He's recovered now, apparently. His hair is black and fluffy, disheveled from where you stare at his handsome face from upside down. His knuckles smear the cum still left across your face. You moan.

Luffy's fingers are merciless, speeding up to match Zoro's pace. Finally, something pushes that button inside you that makes you cum. You shake on the swordsman's cock, eyes rolling up to the back of you skull.

"Good kitty," Luffy whispers, voice dripping with command. His emperor's haki flits around you, like ruby red lightning strikes. His energy is warm yet supple--as rubber as he is--stretching and relaxing and pulling like taffy. He waves it over and over your body, like strokes of his sure fingers. It feels hot, like sun-warm stones being raked over your back. He presses into your feet, your hands, your face. The burning skin beneath his cooling cum.

"Not done yet," Zoro grunts, bruising your hips with his vicelike grasp. His cock is thrusting inside you, harder and harder. Your walls are already fluttering and overheated, clenching down on his length like a bear trap. He huffs, grunting and moaning and swearing under his breath. He feels good, apparently.

You bite.

Luffy gasps, pulling his fingers out of your mouth with a curse. "Fuck, kitty!" He complains, "I told ya not to do that!"

"So-rry," you moan, broken and hoarse. Your heat is coming to a close; you can feel the satisfaction creeping up. You've cum a bunch already, but your body still needs Zoro's seed inside you.

"Bad kitty," Luffy says again, gripping you by the back of the neck. He hauls you up, and stuffs his cock into your mouth without ceremony.

"Mmph!" You manage out, tongue lolling up against his length. He moans, tipping his head back in ecstasy. His hips shudder weakly, thrusting against your face as you open your throat for him.

Zoro slaps your ass.

You grunt, stuffed full of cock in both your pussy and mouth. Your tails arch, fanning over you like peacock feathers. Zoro grabs one in his teeth. He holds it gently, but firm, like it's the handle of Wado Ichimonji. You rock yourself back on his cock as best you can. Another orgasm is creeping up your thighs, and you clench around him hard. Your pussy is fluttering, moaning and soaking, the wet squelch of his dick inside you filling the room with homemade pornography. Luffy adds his own moans to the mix, raspy and hoarse as his boy's voice starts cracking.

"Fuckfuckfuck, kitty--," he gasps, rutting his hips against your face. Your nose is stuffed against his pelvis, breathing him in until there's nothing left. It's just him, him, him, and Zoro, and Zoro's cock, and flames licking up your abdomen--

Zoro tugs at your tail, and you cum.

"That's it, that's my girl," Luffy groans, his hands cradling your face. You shudder around Zoro's cock, his thrusts coming sloppy and haphazard, now. He's getting closer, you can tell. His cock swells inside you as you pulse around his shaft.

"Fuck, Vix--," the swordsman groans out, velvet and deep. His own conqueror's haki is emerald green: less prescient than Luffy's but still knocking you senseless all the same. It holds you from below, while Luffy's shivers all over your skin. It arcs and blasts, shooting through the room in invisible sparks that rub up against your pleasure so sweetly. Your boys take such good care of you.

Zoro mmph's through his teeth, burying himself to the hilt inside your cunt as he spills his seed. It's hot, and wet, and throbbing, and you shake against his hold. His lips sputter over words of praises, all "good girl, good baby, sweetheart, take it, just like that keep squeezing me, yeah--," as he cums inside you with a strangled moan. The swordsman is a hot lover, strong and steady, and his pace rocks you back and forth on the bed, folded as you are.

Luffy isn't far behind him, hands clenched into fists in your hair, stroking at the tips of your ears. "C'mon, Vasya," he grunts, hitting the back of your throat with every thrust. You gag and moan, but he keeps on. "Cum f'me again."

It's a command, electrified by a strike of his haki straight through your heart. You don't even need Zoro's aching thumb on your clit, you're already shivering with heat as you cream. Yes, captain. For you, captain. I'll do anything for you, captain--

"Good girl," is all he says as he finishes inside you for the hundredth time that night. Your mouth takes what it can, but still overflows with his steaming cum. It tastes bitter, and you gag. He pulls out, leaving a trail of white spend and rainbow spit from your lips to his tip. Luffy pets your hair softly, collapsing back onto his knees. "Good girl," he says, raking a hand through his ruined hair.

Luffy's lips are puffy and swollen, his face flushed and rosy. Zoro pulls out of you too, sitting back to grab a towel from the nightstand. He raises the oil lamp, slightly. Orange light fills the room. You stare at the two men behind you, still slumped over on all fours.

"Hey."

Luffy laughs, and Zoro snorts. He wipes himself off, and then turns to you. Luffy leans forward to lick his own cum off your face. "Hi baby," he says quietly, cleaning you up like the daddy he is, "Didja like that?"

"'Course," you mumble, groaning as you push yourself up. You take the rag from Zoro to wipe at the spot between your legs. You grimace: what a mess. Luffy giggles again, and you can't help but join in. "Thanks, guys."

"Feelin' normal again?" Zoro asks, standing up to chug some water from the canteen by his bed. Luffy stretches out an arm to snatch it from his grasp, and he curses in complaint. "Oi!"

"Shishishi," Luffy snickers, dousing his own head with water. He shakes his hair out like a dog. He pours water over you, too.

"Hey!" You splutter out, waving him away. "No fair!"

"Yes fair," he teases, leaning forward to bite your ass. You squeak in surprise. "Feelin' good yet, kitty?"

"Yes," you say, grateful, finally standing up to stretch your legs. Oh, fuck. You're gonna be sore in the morning. "Can we sleep here?"

"Nope," Zoro laughs, "Luffy snores."

"Aww, Zoro!" The captain complains, hanging onto Zoro's shoulder. He plants messy kisses all along his swordsman's collarbones. "Pleeease?"

You both blink up at Zoro with pleading eyes, and he finally caves with a sigh. "Fine," he huffs, falling back with his arms crossed over his chest. You squeal, jumping over him like a fox diving into snow. "Fuck!" He shouts, winded, before tangling you in his arms, if just to keep you still. "Stop that."

"Sorry," you giggle, nuzzling into his broad chest. "'Night."

"'Night!" Luffy echoes, snuggling up on Zoro's other side. You both wrap your arms around him, so that you're folded over each other in one big, happy pile.

THE PRINCESS WEI YANG - 158 PART 1

CHAPTER 158: Many Traps

The funeral was handled very smoothly. Although Madam Sun fainted from crying during the funeral, General Sun was still reasonable and knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Li family. He just gritted his teeth and swore that within a month he would find out the murderer behind the scenes.

Outside the house, the rain drummed against the windows, making a pitter-pattering sound. Li Wei Yang was sitting in the room, holding embroidery work in her hands. Bai Zhi brought over a plate of fragrant snacks, glanced at her, and put them on the small table, not daring to disturb her casually. Since it was getting late, Mo Zhu was busy making the bed in the inner room. Seeing that Li Wei Yang looked tired, Bai Zhi lit some candles and whispered: "Miss, it's already late, why aren't you resting?"

Li Wei Yang slowly embroidered the golden carp under the hibiscus flower, and said in a calm tone: "I'll go to bed after embroidering these last few stitches."

Bai Zhi looked at Li Wei Yang and couldn't help but feel strange. In the past few days, Li Wei Yang had been so calm it was alarming. Madam Sun made a big fuss at the Li family and was forcibly taken back by General Sun. Even so, the young lady did not come forward and just embroidered quietly in her room. However, the young lady clearly said that she would track down and kill the second young lady's murderer. Furthermore, although Li Wei Yang did not deliberately get close to Sun Yanjun on most days, every time she came to this yard, Bai Zhi could see that the young lady was really happy.

But she didn't understand why the young lady could be so calm now.

Mo Zhu made the bed and came out to see that Li Wei Yang had no intention of taking a rest. She couldn't help but say: "Miss, doing this by the candlelight will hurt your eyes. Let's do it during the day tomorrow." She was also obviously confused, because Li Wei Yang is not a person who likes to do needlework, and in the past, she would sit and read, and rarely touch needlework. Of course, this does not mean that Li Wei Yang does not know how to embroider, but she does not have much interest in female arts, so even Li Minzhi's clothes are left to the maids to do. She is so indifferent to her own brother, who is the thing in her hand embroidered for?

Li Wei Yang didn't answer. Mo Zhu was stunned for a while and then asked: "Miss, are you embroidering a child's bellyband?"

Bai Zhi glared at her and signaled her not to ask any more random questions. Then she walked up and gave Li Wei Yang some tea, saying: "Miss, if you need it, I can prepare one."

Li Wei Yang thought for a while and said, "No, this has to be done by oneself to be considered as one's heart." She quickly put away the needle, shook the red bellyband in her hand, looked at it for a moment, and asked Bai Zhi: "The embroidery, is it good?"

Bai Zhi took one look and understood. She nodded and said, "Miss's needlework is very good." Mo Zhu looked aside and became even more confused.

Li Wei Yang ordered Mo Zhu, "Bring the brazier."

In this weather, it's not time to use the brazier yet. Mo Zhu stood there stunned for a moment, watching Bai Zhi wink at her, and then she realized: "This slave will go now!" She just walked to the door, but Zhao Yue, who was originally guarding outside, suddenly came in with a brazier and placed it in front of Li Wei Yang. Li Wei Yang touched the bellyband in her hand, smiled, and then threw the bellyband into the fire. She watched the tongue of flames roll the little bellyband in. Soon, the bellyband embroidered with lotus leaves, flowers, and koi was consumed by flames.

Mo Zhu said distressedly: "Miss, what are you doing! You put so much effort to make it!" She was obviously not as insightful as Bai Zhi and Zhao Yue.

However, Li Wei Yang did not get angry, and just said lightly: "Give it to my little nephew."

Mo Zhu was stunned and looked at Bai Zhi without knowing why. Bai Zhi glared at her, then squatted down at Li Wei Yang's feet, saying softly: "Miss, don't be too sad."

Li Wei Yang smiled and said: "I'm not sad, I'm just doing what I should do."

Bai Zhi glanced at the flames dancing in the brazier and didn't dare to say anything more. However, Zhao Yue gritted her teeth and said: "Its all because of that Princess Anguo!" She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss, what are you going to do?" Unlike Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu, she knew that Li Wei Yang would not give up easily.

Li Wei Yang glanced at her gently and sighed: "Zhao Yue, there are many things that you shouldn't be impatient about."

Zhao Yue's teeth chattered: "It's all because that princess is so arrogant."

Li Wei Yang's expression was very calm, and her eyes were dark with no light at all: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Princess Anguo is a popular figure, if I want to bring her down, it won't be just a day's worth of work." Princess Anguo is Tuoba Zhen's legal wife, if Anguo is to die, Tuoba Zhen must die first. These two people are one. If she wants to seek revenge from Princess Anguo, she must first get rid of Tuoba Zhen. Or... tie these two people together and get rid of them at the same time! As a result, we cannot act rashly now.

Zhao Yue couldn't help but be stunned. Li Wei Yang continued: "Do you think you can get revenge just by relying on brute force? You should have seen that when I was talking to Princess Anguo, the four top first-class masters behind her were staring at you eagerly. You once said that even if you and your elder brother joined forces, you could only block that person for a moment. How sure are you that you can approach Princess Anguo and kill her? It's fine if you don't make a move, but you have to put your opponent to death the moment you make a move."

"Yes, this servant believes in Miss."

Li Wei Yang smiled silently, the smile was light, like a flower blooming in the cold wind. Bai Zhi saw that it was getting late, so she walked over and put down the curtains, and said softly: "Miss, Princess Yongning will leave tomorrow."

Li Wei Yang threw all the needles and threads aside and said: "Yes, Zhao Yue, tell them to release Yuan Yu."

Zhao Yue was a little reluctant: "Miss, this person is so vicious, let's just kill him quickly."

Li Wei Yang smiled slightly and said: "Kill him? Is there such a cheap thing in the world? Doesn't he like women, so I threw him into a pile of women. He has suffered enough these days. In this life, I'm afraid that he never wants to see any woman again. As for letting him go back to Yuexi, firstly, it's because I promised Princess Yongning. Secondly, he caused Yuexi to lose its most important stronghold, and his many years of hard work fell short. Naturally, someone will take care of him after he returns. Thirdly, killing him will only alarm Empress Pei prematurely. In this way, it will not be so easy to deal with Princess Anguo. "

Zhao Yue nodded. Li Wei Yang's idea was right. Killing Yuan Yu was a small matter, but ruining the following plan was a big deal. She was still a little unwilling to think about it: "Is the lady going to see off Princess Yongning tomorrow? "

Li Wei Yang looked at the dancing candlelight, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Send her away? No, I have done what I should do, and I have more important things to do tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Li Wei Yang packed up and entered the palace, but this time, she only sat in the Empress Dowager's Palace for a while before she heard that Consort Lian was coming. Consort Lian specially sent over the pear soup she cooked herself because the Empress Dowager was always weak and coughing recently. It seemed very casual, but when Li Wei Yang left, Consort Lian also found an opportunity to leave together.

After personally welcoming Li Wei Yang into her Lotus Pond Palace, Consort Lian sighed, rubbed her temples and said to the maid next to her: "I have a headache, go get some medicine from my box." The palace maid understood what she meant and quietly retreated without saying anything. Consort Lian looked at Li Wei Yang and whispered: "The Empress Dowager seems to be very angry..."

Li Wei Yang had just seen that the Empress Dowager was furious with Princess Yongning's decision, and she never expected that the princess would be so bold as to rebel against her commands. At this moment, she was riding a tiger and was unable to get off. Li Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "The Empress Dowager always thinks that everything is in her own hands. Unfortunately, she is old..."

Consort Lian became even more surprised: "Then Yuan Yu is ..."

Li Wei Yang said calmly: "If others don't bother me, I will naturally not find trouble for no reason. But if they deliberately find trouble for me, I will not sit still and wait for death. Now, I just want to retaliate a little."

Consort Lian's face paled slightly: "You... are so bold!" The more she thought about it, the more amused she became, and she couldn't help but say, "However, this is what they deserve. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor always thought that others want to be kneaded by them. It's so sinister to marry someone else's child when you can't bear to part with your own daughter! Now it's retribution!"

Li Wei Yang smiled faintly and said: "Last time I told you to tell the emperor the truth about the poison..."

Consort Lian gritted her teeth and said: "I did as you said. The emperor lost his temper, but when he calmed down he still cared about the Empress, and even tolerated the Crown Prince's stupid behavior! I originally thought that the Crown Prince would be overthrown in one day, but I didn't expect that he has not been able to do so until now. I didn't mention the matter of deposing the prince. That Beauty Zhang (t/n:  The imperial harem has a very specific and strict heirarchy system. 'Beauty' or 'Meirin' is a low imperial concubine rank, far below 'Fei' or 'Consort' which is Consort Lian's formal rank) has colluded with the prince for a long time. I feel disgusted every time I see her. She always looks charming and frivolous. It's a pity that the emperor can't make up his mind. Otherwise, the Crown Prince will already..."

Li Wei Yang glanced at the sky outside and said slowly: "I heard that the prince is currently attending to the Empress."

Consort Lian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the Empress was very ill and has been mentally depressed for half a month. When I look at her, she is just lingering on."

Li Wei Yang smiled and said: "His Majesty is unwilling to deal with the Crown Prince, because he still has doubts, or the anger in his heart is not burning enough. Let's add a handful of firewood!"

Consort Lian looked puzzled when she heard what she said: "What you mean is - looking for an opportunity to sabatoge the Crown Prince?"

Li Wei Yang shook her head, looking at Consort Lian's beautiful face, and said word by word: "Looking for an opportunity? When will we have another opportunity? Now that the Crown Prince is in the palace, this is the best opportunity!"

Consort Lian took a breath and said in surprise: "Now?" She said with a hint of worry, "I'm afraid it's too late..."

Li Wei Yang smiled, casually opened a kumquat next to her, ate a piece, and said: "How can it be too late? You have already arranged your people in the palace. You need to know that you have spent a lot of time raising your troops, and if you don't act now, it will be too late when other people come to their senses and deal with you."

Consort Lian was slightly absent-minded, and her tone softened unconsciously: "Wei Yang, I'm really a little scared -"

Li Wei Yang sighed and said: "Your Highness, you are in your prime years and you have a little prince. You should plan for yourself..."

Consort Lian was shocked. Originally, she got rid of the Jiang family, which could be said to have avenged her family. She gave birth to a prince, and could live a good life as a concubine without any worries. She no longer had to deal with Li Wei Yang and others. But Li Wei Yang was right. She was too young, and the little prince was too young. When the emperor was around, he was able to protect their mother and son, but after the emperor died, who could ensure her well-being for the rest of her life? In particular, the Empress and Concubine Jiang hated her so much and regarded her as an accomplice of Li Wei Yang and Tuoba Yu, and she could no longer live alone. If she can help Tuoba Yu inherit the throne, she can at least ensure the safety of herself and her children.

Li Wei Yang gently placed her hand on Consort Lian's slender hand, and said in a low voice: "You are not cruel, you are just planning for yourself." Her tone was sharp, and then she said in a deep voice, "Today is the best opportunity, but it's fleeting, you have to think about it carefully."

Consort Lian heard Li Wei Yang's calm tone and felt a little more at ease. She hurriedly said: "When I first entered the palace, I almost got into trouble because I didn't listen to your advice. If it weren't for you when Tuoba Zhen framed me, I can't escape either, so I'm here today all because of you helping me. It's the same now! Since you dare to say it, I dare to do it!"

Li Wei Yang's eyes turned slightly on her face. Seeing her eyes slowly becoming firm, she unconsciously said: "When the prince falls, Tuoba Zhen loses his best shield. If he can take this opportunity to remove the Empress, uprooting the Crown Prince's influence, Tuoba Zhen's wings will be broken, this will be the best harvest."

Consort Lian understood immediately, and her hand holding the tea cup stiffened for a moment, and then she continued to take a sip as if nothing happened: "You mean, you want to take this opportunity to burn Tuoba Zhen."

Li Wei Yang smiled and said calmly: "Yes, the hotter, the better."

At noon, the Emperor was taking a nap. Over the past month, his body has become thinner and thinner, and his energy has gradually become less and less. He relies on Zhou Dashou's pills to maintain his energy on most days. Occasionally, he favors concubines and always goes to Consort Lian's palace. In the past two days, even the charming Consort Lian couldn't interest him, so he mostly rested alone.

Suddenly, while half asleep, he heard a commotion, couldn't help but put on his clothes and stood up, and asked loudly: "Zhang Ming, what happened outside?"

Zhang Ming, the eunuch who was responsible for the Emperor's residence, came in in a hurry. Since the death of the senior eunuch, he had gradually taken his place to accompany the Emperor. At this moment, he hurried over and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a floor in the Empress' palace and the guards are currently dealing with it. Don't worry, the servants are escorting them outside. I will never let anyone disturb you."

The Emperor was shocked, how could something suddenly break out in the Empress' palace? He had an unusual premonition in his heart and asked, "Where is the Empress? Is she okay?"

Zhang Ming quickly replied: "Yes, the Empress has been brought out safely." He glanced at the Emperor's face, thinking of the response he just received, he looked uneasy and said, "It's just... His Highness the Crown Prince is no where to be found." A country's crown prince disappeared out of thin air. When word spread about this, it would be a source of laughter! Looking at the Empress' face just now, she clearly didn't know about this!

The Emperor's face sank slightly: "What do you mean not found? Isn't the Crown Prince in the palace to look after the Empress? Where did he go at this time?!"

Zhang Ming looked a little uneasy and glanced furtively, but he didn't dare to speak. The Emperor was slightly angry and asked: "What's wrong? Why don't you speak!"

Zhang Ming was dripping with cold sweat and said: "I don't know, but after an investigation just now, it was said that someone saw His Highness the Crown Prince leaving with two guards -" At this point, he was already trembling with fear.

The Emperor seemed to be pouring cold water from above to the ground, and said coldly: "Where have you gone?!"

Zhang Ming didn't dare to speak at all, and kowtowed to the ground: "Crown Prince ... Crown Prince... This servant does not dare to speak without thinking! Your Majesty, please don't be too upset, so as not to hurt your body."

The anger in the Emperor's heart was blazing, and he said coldly: "Okay, immediately send people to seal off the entire harem, especially the Empress! She is not allowed to leave even half a step! You will bring my people to search palace after palace. I want to see what this beast dares to do in broad daylight!"

His voice was not loud, but it was so clear, and the look on his eyebrows was like a sword unsheathed.

The palace was searched top to bottom. When they arrived at Consort Lian's palace, they saw Consort Lian and Li Wei Yang sitting. There were twelve plates of fresh fruit preserves and snacks on the table... Zhang Ming said carefully: "Consort Lian, following his majesty's order, this servant went to search the palaces of the concubines, and I would like to ask for your cooperation."

Consort Lian leaned forward from the back of the chair, frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Ming said respectfully in front of everyone: "His Majesty heard that the Empress's palace was flooded with water, and he was worried. He just asked his servants to look at each palace carefully, hoping that there wouldn't be another disaster."

Consort Lian looked at Li Wei Yang, with a thin smile on her lips, and replied: "I am naturally very careful here. If you are worried, please search carefully."

Zhang Ming raised the corners of his eyes and looked away from Princess Anping who was sitting next to her. He saw that the diamond-shaped windows in the palace were also refracting the sunlight that entered the outside, flowing along Li Wei Yang's dark hair and snow-white skin. Li Wei Yang smiled noncommittally, sitting casually, leaning half of her body on the backrest, slightly raising his chin, looking at him through her fine eyelashes. He hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes."

DRaWpril #3!

I technically sketched the base a few days ago, but I wanted to finetune it. This is the latest in my attempts to figure out realistic and satisfying anatomy for my race of alien dog/lion/bearish centaurs, the felnim. As I am not an expert in anatomy and don’t draw these guys super regularly, this struggle has been going on for over a decade.

I like some aspects of this, but other parts still make me unhappy. I want the upper body to be stockier and not so tall compared to the lower body. These guys are supposed to be significantly taller than humans, but a human would be just a bit taller than their backs, so this is TOO tall and too giantish in proportion.

I do like how the neck and the long back slope, though! And the toes look good to me. The front feet are supposed to serve for walking/running but also as large psudo-hands. Im wondering if it would make more sense for them to support all the weight on the “toes” like the back feet and dogs do?

I reluctantly changed how they “stand” upright, too; while they COULD still stand on tiptoe in that position, it makes more sense for them to shift into using their true heels when in that position, even if it looks kinda silly.

The li’l bird is something most felnim have—they’re half pet, half centuries-long symbiotic relationship. Even though most felnim don’t “need” an i’gna bird to keep mites out of their fur thanks to modern cleaning methods, most still have one anyway. The birds have been bred to be quite smart and are often trained for small tasks and sending messages.

Might try some photomanipulation on my computer to see if I can get the proportions closer to the vague concept in my head. Anyone with animal anatomy experience is welcome to make suggestions! (Btw, the bellyband is the minimum level of clothing for modesty; felnim reproductive organs are centered a little in front of the legs. Females also wear shirts.)

Compulsory Question 2

In the twelfth week of study, I found Guo Pei's high couture fashion to introduce. She is known internationally for her display of traditional oriental china aesthetics and promotion of traditional culture. She also used many traditional elements to interpret it, such as the crowns of aristocratic women in the Qing Dynasty to show feminine charm and elegance, or the traditional bellybands worn by women to show the softness and clear beauty of the East.

Picture 2 is a poster I made in Semester 2. Because my father is Manchu, I plan to make a work about Manchu traditional culture. And I cut it into a circle using traditional red paper because in ancient time, the circle was called the round sky and square earth, and I pasted a photo of the Mukden palace on it to better reflect this. In addition, I cut and pasted some murals engraved on the walls of the palace, which are also called auspicious clouds.

I want to promote the charm of Manchu traditional culture through the learning skills I have learned. In the future, I want to open a shop to appreciate traditional culture life. I also want to integrate traditional culture to make peripheral products and posters. This can help people who are under pressure and busy in today's society calm down and feel the beauty of life. This also expresses the ancient people's yearning for good weather and good fortune.

I was very encouraged by the comments given to me by my classmates, and they also some Chinese to express their thoughts and encouragement. Some classmates were confused about whether being a businessman and an artist were contradictory. What I want to add about this is that I admire great artists with outstanding artistic talents, but I also admire those who know how to market themselves to promote their own brand, product concepts, and culture so that their works can achieve intrinsic and extrinsic value and use their own strength to survive in this society, and internally help more people get rid of the difficulties in life and use art to bring them hope and strength to create.356For example, when some people cannot digest the frustrations they encounter in a day, they can calm themselves and understand life by appreciating works of art. I also want to create an interactive installation where I can write down my worries on paper. I want to name this exhibition"Throwing Away Worries".
