Thinking of the Nie disciple that told Nie Mingjue it was Meng Yao who stayed behind to clean up corpses on the battlefield today.
Nie Mingjue didn't just randomly stumble upon poor lil meowyao eating bread in the novel, he was already looking for him to thank and reward him for his work.
That's what makes it so fun that nieyao's first conflict will end up being about someone else taking credit for Meng Yao's work.
And I'm sure that Nie Mingjue's actual opinions on plagiarism are a lot more nuanced, all we really get from him in this scene is "well you shouldn't kill someone over it!" which leaves a lot of room for what punishments he thinks are appropiate. But I bet that it isn't occuring to him in this moment that the only reason he knows Meng Yao at all, the only reason he got such a capable deputy, is that he noticed someone was taking care of the dead and cared enough to want to know their name. And then the Nie disciples didn't lie to him. The disciple he asked could have said "it was me, Zongzhu" to rise in the ranks himself, but he didn't. He went and asked others, who all also could have taken the credit, but they didn't. Someone saw Meng Yao working and decided to be honest about it and that simple decision is the catalyst for Meng Yao becoming Nie Mingjue's deputy.
Meng Yao can't just work hard to get results, others have to acknowledge that work. If they don't, it's as if he didn't do anything at all.
#i'm very proud of the phrase poor lil meowyao. i'm sure i'm not the first one to come up with it but i'm proud nonetheless.#mdzs#mdzs meta#nie mingjue#meng yao#anyway this isn't a nmj bashing post i think 'ok that's bad but don't do MURDER' is overall a pretty reasonable reaction#but the emotional disconnect is fun to ruminate on. I bet meng yao IS thinking about that moment while coming up with his fake-suicide plan#anyway i always laugh a litle whenever anyone wonder if meng yao looking a bit pitiful was all some master stategy to get nmj to like him#because like... no. no that would be a stupid plan and also involved way too many factors he couldn't control.#and also!! he was already doing something else to try and get nmj's attention. all of that fucking work!!#if you plan on getting nmj– guy famous for valuing merit and hard honest work– to like you what is more useful:#looking a bit like a sad little wet cat in case he comes across you? or. Working really hard and being more useful than everyone else?#ding ding ding it's the latter.#nmj is ALSO a bit weak for someone looking like a kitten left in the rain but that's not well-known at all and meng yao didn't know him yet#anyway the fact that that is his plan does mean he's very aware how much it hinges on other people not just lying and saying they did it.#i wonder what networking efforts lil heijan meng yao was doing. trying to make friends with all the other disciples.#walking the tightrope of being accomodating but not a doormat so people see you as someone to rely on rather than take advantage of.#as much as we know not everyone in the nie is as righteous as nmj it does seem like there is a culture of taking pride in your own work.#even the cultivators who bully him in the novel just seem think it's funny he's working so hard.#using someone else's actions to prop yourself up is kinda like admiting they're better than you. a wound to their pride if nothing else.

kingisle whenever they need to coax older players back: HEY YOU PERSON WITH A WALLET!!! REMEMBER DRAGONSPYRE?!? REMEMBER HOW SAD THE LAST ACT MADE YOU FEEL? HERE'S SOMETHING REFERENCING DRAGONSPYRE!! ISNT THAT YOUR FAVORITE?!
#artenoise#ki101#wizard101#pirate101#like i have no issue with dragonspyre as a world but the extent that it's use to generate more hype is getting old#the mali the undying stuff with AZ and darkmoor and then the catacombs#and now this new pirate update#like it doesn't even matter if it doesn't make much sense like the young battledrake mount#DS is the cash cow even more than WC because they know people that played up to the end of DS or DM have some fondness for it#but it's getting so sour and overused imo#like if mali the undying didn't happen and get resolved ten years ago i would've bet real money they would've pulled it now#but they bank so heavily on the nostalgia but it isn't even that good of a world#the pacing comes to a screeching halt once you reach ashley#and the weakness spam is really tilting if you're trying to get it done in a day or two#but it's also not bad it still has the best aesthetics and ideas and doesn't feel like One Thing#like how wallaru is Just Australia or zafaria is Just Africa#and the atmosphere is great it gives off this post protagonist feel ig. where it feels like any other game would have you doing stuff#during the invasion. but no. it's just an active graveyard#that's the other thing the more KI tries to expand on it the less harrowing and mysterious it feels#which is a huge bummer.#even if the catacombs was cool#i know this is a long ass ramble but dude after seeing the new pirate update im just. bruh.#Yaknow

SURPRISE.
Chapter 11 of Incendiary is COMPLETE at 11,180 WORDS. breaking the record as the longest chapter in the entire story. I will be posting this chapter tomorrow (Sunday, 10/27) at 2 PM CST!
I haven't updated this story since March of this year and only a few days ago did I get the itch again to write some more of this story. I'm back in the saddle for this one, and will ride the wave as it lasts. This chapter was a bitch and a half to write, there's a lot of Pyro backstory, and a LOT of angst. BUT... it is probably my favorite by far.
Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow!
#incendiary#tf2#ao3 fanfic#SURPRISE BITCHES IM BACK#bet you didn't see that one coming#honestly neither did I#but we're SO back

anders becomes a vegetarian after merging with justice because the taste and texture of meat puts him right back in that burning forest. he just tells people "haha yeah i don't eat meat anymore, justice" and his friends are like "ohhh that makes sense that justice would not want to eat living things :)" and anders is just like Ha Ha Yeah That's Why! and his eyes are always haunted so no one thinks anything of it. also i think some superstitious demon-fearing chantry-taught part of him is secretly afraid that if justice ever gets another taste of flesh again he will never ever stop
#cannibalism text / eating horror? ask to tag?#no yeah they really said with that short story: ANDERS HAS FORCED CANNIBALISM TRAUMA. BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING#never comes up again#COMPLETELY makes sense why their relationship in 2 is on a rocky patch

Murder of a god for the wip game? It sounds fascinating
Hello Noah my friend <3333
Many of my stories tend to be a bit messy on the writing part, and I have a feeling murder of a god will be one of those.
It was originally a fic to be written for a 'magic' prompt but i started writing it and i knew I couldn't make it short. There's no way of condensing a story between a soldier tasked with protecting a God, and that might have been the reason for its death, so he does the only thing you can do. He resurrects the God.
That's the bare bones of it, and I don't know when it'll be done, but it's honestly a story I'm very excited for, and that I wish will be cool to read! You can find a bit under the cut <3
It wasn't until he knelt by the tomb of a dead god, a knife in his hand and warnings ringing in his ears, easily dismissed, that Roope understood how weak he was.
If he were better, then he'd heed Miro's advice, turn around and let them bury Wyatt. If he were better, he'd cry for a god and carry his memory in his heart, not unearth secrets that were only whispered warnings when he was a boy.
But Roope wasn't better. He wasn't strong or patient or piteous, he was weak and greedy and the sight of Wyatt, dead, the idea of him, plucked from the world like a flower without a second thought, filled him rage.
It boiled and simmered, slipped through the cracks he'd once thought had been put there by hunger, finally understood they'd been proof of his weakness, how he'd slipped and unmade himself for Wyatt, and it made him want to tear the world apart.
#honestly super excited for this one friends. I just hope it'll be as cool as it is in my head#thank you noah beloved <333#asks#my writing#murder of a god#bet you didn't see this ship coming lmao

ngl this was my favorite scene in episode 7
From the way Michelle just goes “oh? you’re dating my brother? I think that’s wonderful” to the way Chris steps on Finn’s foot when he tries to deny it and Finn’s like “fine I’m dating your brother (by implication)” it’s like,,, okay,,, so im trying my best to look at them objectively but i’m sorry???
#high card#highcard#Michelle Redgrave#Chris Redgrave#Finn Redgrave#Chris Redgrave/Finn Oldman#I love how the misunderstanding was never cleared up#and instead is only reinforced by Chris#Chelsea was the MVP of this episode though what a queen#also on my list of High Card ships: Chelsea/Chris/Finn#didn't see that one coming#you can bet im going to write more fanfics for this fandom based off this episode though#starting with more joker!Finn and traitor!Chris stuff#and then Chelsea/Chris/Finn and Finn/Chris stuff plus Michelle as I go

˚ ₊ ‧ 𓈒 ❀ my darling cheekflush sent: please touch me. please, i'll do anything.
you, newly - awakened huntsman, your mind has been piously rewired to maim every vampire who stands in the way of completing the brotherhood of the five insignia ( with the additional gratuity that ensures your essence will live on in monster's psyche until the following marauder is born ) but fate has never been as benevolent as you've wished for in the past, and though the mark was once a gift, the woman of your dreams, the love of your life, has become the very thing you are meant to brutally annihilate, the very thing that has infiltrated your home and torn your family apart. it takes every bit of strength in male's chassis to recall the poignant reminder of adoration, but you have to. you will exhaust all options until she can be within your hold without causing her harm. though a formidable accomplishment, eldest jang is aware of one simple fact ⸻ mysticism or not, you cannot outrun someone who knows your very soul ( . . . ) it makes koa bryn & bambi grace's reunion that much sweeter, softer. and he is unable to conceptualize how the wolf before him could not love her through everything, despite disdain for her species. she is everywhere he turns, his fingers tracing small circles along the small of her back. while it is not the contact she pleads for, male believes that taking her apart bit by bit is the only way to go. ❛ pretty girl, i promise i'll fuck you soon enough, but don't you want to take your time? ❜
#˚ ₊ ‧ 𓈒 ❀ koa bryn ⨾ colloquy.#ehehehehehehe#i bet you didn't see this one coming...#i like to keep you on your toes (chill girl who lowkey doesn't give a fuck)#however i encountered a problem here.#while i LIKE IT i know that i have once again fucked up on the actions and not really dove into the nsfw... a lot of my writings is#more reflection based which i think suits a muse blog but does not quite suit a full on verse as we are trying to do#I'M WORKIN ON IT!#I PROMISE!#but i hope you like this nonetheless hehe

therebetterbepie asked:
❛ you seem somewhat familiar. have i threatened you before? ❜ ( aim this at whoever you have the most muse for! )
【❖】 ―――― What was a girl to do with herself now ? Her feelings they are all twisted up inside. For the longest time she let herself get dragged down the wrong trails because of what she believed had once been love. Funny thing about love was that it could be just as dangerous as a loaded gun in the hands of someone who didn't know how to handle it. After at lot of trials and era she finally managed to earn her freedom. Not that any cage could have really held her had she wanted to free it. It was all part of trying to find her true self again — without all the bad influences that often whispered in her ear. She doesn’t even know why she came to the bar tonight. Maybe it was because this is where ‘ He ’ would normally be, or maybe it was away for her to truly say goodbye to the ghosts of her past ? The government no longer had any need for her so what was she to do with all this new found freedom on her hands ?
Harley smirked, tilting her head as she looked up and at the man addressing her. She had a way of finding amusement even in the most intense situations. Twirling a strand of blonde hair around her finger, contemplating the man before her before speaking. ❝ Threaten me ? Oh Mistah, you wouldn't be the first, ❞ She chuckled, a glint of mischief in her eyes. ❝ Oh, I'd remember if someone as handsome as you had threatened me before, ❞ A sly grin touching her lips. ❝ Ya sure do have a way with words don’tcha ? ❞ She swirled the drink in her glass thoughtfully before taking a sip, never breaking eye contact with the man. She had always been drawn to danger, the thrill of chaos running through her veins like an intoxicating drug. ❝ Tell ya what. ❞ A pause. ❝ Buy me another drink and I’ll let ya start all over. ❞

Six Some Sentence Sunday Monday
Since the poll was in favour of the sylki con artists AU, here's a bit of that which I already had written. I am starting to suspect the reason AUs are so often multichapter things is that you have to do new backstory and that takes a number of words to achieve. In this one I have - oh no! - made the brodisons poor!
This bit's from the second chapter, when the alternating POV falls upon AU!Loki and thus I can/have to start explaining the background to his role in this Alternate Universe - Modern Setting:
It’s not like he hasn’t tried to venture into a more socially (and legally) acceptable line of work, but unfortunately he seems to have inherited their father’s business acumen, the reverse Midas touch that lost the family a fortune before either boy had made it as far as sitting their GCSEs. (Several fortunes, actually, depending how you count it.) Some of the effects of that financially comfortable childhood have stuck, however, and this includes a certain level of belief in oneself, which is wonderful when an air of confidence is required but less so when forced to abase oneself before a petty manager to win a place in poorly-paid employment. So to hell with all of that, Loki will do as he likes, and since following rules and following orders are not things he likes (and, quite honestly, they are not things he is good at either) then something has to give. Concern for the legality of a given career, for instance.
#BEHOLD i explained how he can have that accent and yet also be poor and doing crimes in an attempt to become unpoor!#he mostly tries to rip people off on art sales and this is supposed to be The Big One that will get him riches at last.#gosh i hope that painting he's just bought with his entire wordly wealth doesn't turn out to be a forgery!#sylvie is also poor in this but that's partly because she did an art degree. hence her current career as a freelance forger.#hope her underpaying buyer doesn't take it personally when they realise they've been conned!#WHAT ARE THE ODDS that these two would unwittingly pull the person they're ripping off (and being ripped of by) in a bar?#they are surprisingly good odds actually! bet you didn't see that coming! they didn't!#six sentence sunday#fic snippets#oh the shark has such teeth dear
