i don't think enough people talk about how the backbone of nie huaisang's plan hinged heavily upon jin guangyao's low birth, and the jianghu's willingness to dogpile on such people.

nie huaisang is upper class. he's specifically stated in the novel as behaving more like the idle rich than like a distinguished second young master of one of the five great cultivation sects, but he's still an heir by birth. even if nie huaisang had been more openly caught, who would do anything to him?

wei wuxian notices that bicao's testimony was bought with a few shiny baubles— that nie huaisang was the one who bribed her with a nice bracelet for her testimony. he intentionally kept his own sect half dead, barely afloat for years, just to keep up the guise of an incompetent loser!

but the only actual consequence he's faced for such poor leadership that probably hurt a lot of common folks in his territory over 13 years is that people think nie huaisang is an annoying, useless crybaby. nie huaisang has a level of protection from consequences that jin guangyao had to fight much harder for (and that jin guangyao ultimately never truly got).

nie huaisang knew his own class and social position extremely well, and he knew how most people of that position behave and think. he was more than willing to use this in his revenge.

we know lan wangji is the type to use his wealth and position to do good for others. nie huaisang is the opposite— he's the type to use his wealth and position for himself and his own personal goals.

and this wasn't just something that started after his brother died! avoiding responsibilities, never carrying his sword, ignoring the fact that he wasn't honoring his sect or ancestors the way others wanted… his underground ring of selling porn as a teenager even got him out of the worst part of the wen indoctrination camps, because he bribed the wen cultivators overseeing everyone else.

my point is, nie huaisang is self-aware enough to know he doesn't really ever do the "right" thing! at no point in the story does he delude himself or others with grand ideals of how one ought to behave. he doesn't care.

unlike almost every single other upper class cultivator in the story— jiang cheng, jin zixuan, nie mingjue, lan xichen— who all think of themselves as righteous in a way, who are always able to justify their thoughts and actions, rarely if ever able to conceive of those thoughts and actions as flawed or wrong... nie huaisang KNOWS his own selfishness.

like lan wangji, nie huaisang recognizes that his class can easily be used as a shield to do whatever he wants. while lan wangji at worst uses this nifty privilege to silence people he doesn't like, refuse to explain himself in inconvenient situations, and bring wei wuxian along with him everywhere, nie huaisang uses it to shirk his duties for decades and tear jin guangyao apart in revenge.

jin guangyao being the son of a prostitute automatically amplifies bad rumors around him. bringing to light his incestuous marriage and the gruesome way he murdered his upper class father, however deserved, is obviously going to impact him in a way that someone higher class wouldn't be as hurt by. combining that with a final lie to get his sworn brother to stab him in a flash of doubt, and well...

is that good or righteous or just? no, of course not. nie huaisang doesn't spend any time pretending that his actions were conducted based on morality, or that he "had no choice".

nie huaisang just wanted to destroy jin guangyao, and damn did it feel good to finally do it.

This is a very silly thought, but if and/or when Phee and Tech end up space married, I have a very funny picture in my head of Hunter seriously overthinking how Phee’s related to all of them now. As in:

Hunter, standing in front of a family tree conspiracy board just crisscrossed with red thread: Okay, so I’m Omega’s dad, right?

Phee: More or less.

Hunter: But she’s also my little sister. But she’s also my older sister. And Crosshair, Tech, Wrecker, and Echo are my brothers. But Echo’s also Omega’s mom but also her dad but also her momdad, and Tech and Wrecker are also her dads, and I guess Crosshair is also her dad now, too, but they’re also all her uncles, but also her brothers—

Phee: Uh huh.

Hunter: So basically what I’m trying to work out is if that means you’re Omega’s sister in law or aunt or mom or just undefined older female relative or—

Phee: I…think you’re overthinking this.

Hunter: —or—

Phee: Family. Let’s just say we’re family.

Hunter. Yeah. I like that.

Phee: Also, when is the last time you slept?

Hunter, trying to ignore Echo and Tech setting something on fire For Science: I don’t know.

VS Wrecker, who I think would just be like:

Wrecker: First, I had no sisters. Then, I had one sister.

*picks up Omega and puts her on one of his shoulders*

Wrecker: Now, I have TWO sisters.

*picks up Phee and puts her on the other shoulder*

Wrecker: And together we’re invincible!

*hands both of them water guns*

*runs around with both of them on his shoulders for several hours while they terrorize everyone in a mile radius with said water guns*

GOD THEY BOTH. THEY BOTH HAVE FUCKED UP CHILDHOODS BUT IN LIKE OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS ARHGHRGH

both are attention seekers (in very different ways)

they both have ppl think theyre much dumber than they actually are (smart buck u are so special to me)

both are a fan of old rock (Shawn with Tears for Fears, Buck with Bruce Springsteen) CAN YOU IMAGINE A KARAOKE SCENE JKFDSKJ

[emily-mooon]

Rip Jonathan and Will you would have loved nintendogs

[nyaruhodou]

if i had a nickel for every time i dated someone who later turned out to be transfem i'd have two nickels which isnt a lot but it goes to show my track record of identifying women before they know theyre women. and also proves that i have always been a lesbian

[borealing]

im gonna go off on one in the tags pls enjoy

I believe Eraqus truly and deeply loved Terra, Aqua, and Ventus. He loved them as his own and honestly wanted what was best for them. But the thing is, his whole life was shaped by the trauma he experienced as a teenager, watching all but one of his friends die due to one person falling to Darkness. And he didn’t want his kids to go through that pain. But in attempting to prevent them from going through all of that, his actions helped to push them into fates that are arguably worse than death that lasted for over a decade. And if I think about this for too long I WILL cry.

[slumbergoblin]

Cry big man! Cry!

[aashiqui-aashiqui]

do you ever have a part of yourself you realize others aren’t aware of but only because it was just something you forgot to mention? or just never brought up because the opportunity never came?

[malachitezmeyka]

What I miss most about going to school while we're stuck home due to the cold is my little daily game of finding where the younger kids dragged the octopuses off to

These are Methodius, Paphnutius, and Martha. Often the only things in our entire school building keeping me sane

[keeps-ache]

OH (one of) my siblings is learning to draw now !! this is very cool and swag, the only thing that isn't is that he is trying to learn from me fhsvh

[pumpkinrootbeer]

okay when i say i need people to be normal about billie eilish coming out and to stop making "we always knew!" "lmaoo old her would be so mad if she saw herself now" jokes it's not because im grabbing a sword for every gay millionaire but because it's weird to make those jokes about ANY gay person. especially young gay people who very recently came out. who, even, were forced and pressured to come out. be normal 🗞️🗞️🗞️

my ocs..... i love you

Emergency: Help Evacuate My Family From GAZA WAR

Dear Humanity,

I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).

I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.

Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.

The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.

We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.

Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.

A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.

Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare

I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.

These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.

MY Father Income

Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future

My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.

As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.

When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.

We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.

As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.

Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.

Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.

I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.

Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.

The purpose of the fundraising campaign

The goal of this fundraising campaign is to rescue my family - my parents, my siblings, and me - through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt, which currently requires $5000 per person. This campaign is our only chance to stay alive, and I humbly request your assistance at this critical time. I will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses, committing to transparency and clarity.
