Hi, how are you?

I was hoping you would be willing to tell me if Wei Wuxian was truly arrogant during the war and post-war, or was it more an act to deter the gentry from diving in like vultures?

Thank you for your time and effort 😊

Hello, I am finally not dying! 💪🏽

I said with the last anon that I don’t feel like digging through text atm, so if you want actual citations then just let me know and I’ll look it up later. Short answer to your question: no.

Long answer: Wei Wuxian during the war was focused on not dying and not having the rest of his loved ones die during a war where losing meant annihilation. Wei Wuxian after the war is struggling with the aftermath of losing his golden core and is now being kept at arms length by the same gentry that was happy enough to use him as a war weapon. I don’t think Wei Wuxian was being “arrogant” and I don’t think his motivation for his behavior at that time was to keep anyone away. I think he never really cared for deep friendship with anyone outside of Lan Wangji—who he is still noticeably reaching out to post-war—and he most definitely is not interested in ingratiating himself with a crowd of genocidal hypocrites. Whenever he’s around anyone who hasn’t already pissed him off, he’s still polite and cordial. Not going above and beyond that does not amount to arrogance.

#mdzs asks #myblurryreality #i think people get caught up in the idea of wwx being ‘arrogant’#because so many characters call him so #and even he calls his younger self that #but 1) the circumstances under which present!wwx calls younger!wwx arrogant #are not the same as the circumstances of others calling him arrogant #and 2) i don’t think the way these cnovels use ‘arrogance’ is the same way that we think of the idea of ‘arrogance’#in a lot of ways it feels like it’s being used as a synonym for confidence or self-assuredness #like yeah in mdzs it’s being used as a negative trait #but it’s not always done so #idk just an observation #anyways we gotta stop letting people who engage with the text at face value #lead discourses about characters and story plots

I love you Safety Wizard.

(Inspired by @keroascrazy)

#safety wizard #wizard #Tumblr wants me to use the wizardposting tag so badly and I'm tempted. It's a good tag.#Shout out to stackedbirds for sending me the safety wizard post. Beloved mutual and beloved supplier of good wizard posts.#I will make it an open secret that I love me some good goofy wizards.#Safety Wizard has a special pizzazz that just gets the gears turning.#I like to imagine Safety Wizard began their studies as a traffic wizard. Then took some courses in roadside hazard magic.#This sparked an interest in safety magic and resulted in an eventual change of major - but the outfit stayed true to their roots.#All that said and done; The original costume is really good and I hope OP keeps up the good wizarding work.#Remember that distracted driving is extremely dangerous. Do not drive tired or in altered states of awareness.#It is always morally correct to call a friend of ride service if you have even the smallest doubt you will be a safe driver.#And *please* wear proper PPE on your job site. Do not put yourself or other's at risk!

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #trans leonardo #trans leo #rottmnt headcanons #turtle art tag #rise draxum #happy pride everyone~#if you’re wondering why there’s no backgrounds that’s because my files got messed up so just blankness in the bg sorry #but yeah!#this is forever and always my fav headcanon for Leo it makes too much sense to me #I wanted to make sure I got it done in time for pride haha #I don’t know if it’s obvious by the end but Draxum ran off because he was for once doing something nice for Leo #that being leading him somewhere else not in front of everyone so Leo can process the fact that he was born female in peace haha #(but he also just - wanted to avoid the ensuing awkward Talk as long as he could lol)#“how would Leo NOT know’’ he had an inkling but never thought much of it because he’s a teenage turtle mutant with no access to healthcare #also yeah that’s splinter’s hand at the end there I just KNOW he’d want those pics #also also - Leo here can technically be trans or even intersex in some way too #both is good #making this made me remember why I never do color #at least for comics #it just takes sooo long #but it was fun and worth it for my fave hc #this is like the first time I’ve drawn Draxum and man he’s kinda hard to draw #also their sizes are just 1 2 and 3 because Draxum had a simple system in place for sizing his subjects #(aka I was too lazy to think of anything else to put there)#also dunno if anyone noticed but look at Raph’s paper and look at his baby’s self’s photo

kiss of death

graphite and watercolors on paper

#haven't done traditional art in a while!#i was SO scared of adding the watercolors to this one because i had such a clear vision of how i wanted it to look #wanted the purple and green to blend in a very specific way and i mean... we're talking about watercolors so it's always a surprise #luckily i managed to pull it off after just staring at it praying to not mess it up for like an hour while holding the brush #agathario #agatha x rio #agatha harkness #rio vidal #lady death #agatha all along #agathario fanart #my art #evgarart

i can't wait to be 30+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 40+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 50+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 60+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 70+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 80+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 90+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to look back on my life and know that i loved things deeply and passionately and was inspired to create and was part of communities with incredible people from all over the world brought together by the stories that touched us

#and still be mad at shithead executives for unfairly cancelling my pirate show #also imagine what my ao3 word count will be like. gonna be writing my little fics in the nursing home #sometimes when i get frustrated over my writing i have to remember that i've only been doing it for a little over a year #and not in my native language #there is still so much time and so much to learn and try and discover and explore and i am EXCITED #there is something so ancient and beautiful about humans being brought together by stories #storytelling is what humans have always done and will always do and what will always connect us #to our past to the future to each other #sorry for the 1 am ramblings #fandom #🐭📓

Shocked how many people think you can just turn on a computer and leave it on for weeks or months or years and never turn it off and it'll be fine. Computers need their sleep, and sleep mode does not count

#seriously there are processes important to the health of your computer that run when you turn it off or on #if you computer runs like shit or if your laptop's always hot that's why #'oh but it takes so long to boot up' YEAH BECAUSE YOU'VE KILLED HER SLOWLY #you've done the equivalent of stapling her eyes open and tazing her when she falls asleep. STOP #incoherent rambling

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.
