Bro
I had the weirdest dream that Bill Cipher was hosting a live event in a theater
And there was like hundreds of people in this theater.
Bill introduced himself and started picking people from the audience for a "neat trick" he had planned
Idk why in retrospect but I REALLY wanted to be picked
He picked people row by row and kicked everyone else out of the theater.
At first he picked the people himself, but then he got bored, so by the time he got to my row, he was like "okay, convince me why you should be picked. Wow me." to everyone in my row.
And I had a brilliant idea.
I waved my arms in the air (despite him being like 3 seats down from me) and shouted "ME! I BOUGHT YOUR BOOK!!!" Like really excitedly before anyone else got a word in.
So Bill sees me.
He comes over
Takes one good look at me.
And says "Nope!"
Then I cried.
#idk why i cried though#i remember this dream vividly those people did NOT survive#and the 'trick' was like catastrophic and genuinely terrifying to live through in a dreamā#but I'm not gonna ramble any further chdjdnfnr#rambling#gravity falls#the book of bill#tbob#bill cipher

Too Hard
Woop part 2 of the trip inside Jamil's head. Part 1 here.
The next time Jamil caught sight of you on campus, his first instinct was to turn around on his heel.
What a stupid thought to have because of you.
Besides, that would only make him more conspicuous, not less.
So, when your eyes met his, Jamil gave you a short nod in greeting. He wouldāve left it at that and kept on his way, had you not walked up to him.
āHi Jamil! Howās it going?ā you said with that impossibly disarming smile of yours.
Why was it so difficult to look at you like he normally would? You had no right to make him feel so stiff, so unnatural.
On autopilot, Jamil exchanged a few pleasantries with you - those lessons from his parents had been instilled too deep in him for him to falter too badly in a simple exchange such as this. Still, Jamil quickly excused himself by telling you he still had to find Kalim before his next class.
Jamil didnāt miss the way your smile faltered. Had you hoped to get something out of him?
āOh, okay. Iāll see you two later, then.ā
Something about that irked him, though Jamil did not allow himself to dwell on it further.
His heart really had no business still racing as it did when he walked away, unaware of the frown on his face.
Just act normal. Thatās all he needed to do.
After all, he had no time for dwelling in silly fancies.
If Jamil had been acutely aware of you before, it only seemed to worsen now that he was making a conscious effort to not act any differently with you. In fact, the harder he tried to keep you out, the more you invaded his thoughts, unsettling him.
The most innocuous words from you looped in his mind, and even the simplest actions caught his eye. For goodness's sake, heād found himself staring at you while you were queueing up in the cafeteria the other day, not even doing anything other than standing around and looking bored!
For once, Jamil found himself grateful for all his duties. At least they provided him with something else to occupy himself with.
After all, if he was busy enough, it was difficult to think about those bright eyes of yours, your sweet laugh, or the way you bit your lip while thinking.
Still, sometimes it felt like no matter which way he turned, you were there, ready to throw him off-kilter. Not like it was his fault that often the most convenient route to class intersected with your daily routines. Or that your face seemed to jump out from any crowd, catching his attention.
Which certainly did not help his basketball performance. Jamil certainly did not recall you having such an interest in sports before, yet suddenly you were always there, distracting him. What had changed?
Could you possibly-
Jamil scoffed to himself, forcing his thoughts back on track for the nth time that day.
He picked up the tray of food and started taking it to Kalim. After dinner, heād need to help Kalim with his homework, there were some housewarden tasks that would need dealing with, not to mention the preparations for the next-
Jamil froze in his tracks.
The voice he heard was quiet, but it was unmistakably you.
Really, it should not have come as such a surprise to him. You had become a rather frequent visitor to Scarabia, and Kalim often invited you to stay for meals. In fact, Jamil had started planning the dormās meal prep with your tastes and dietary restrictions in mind, just in case.
Jamil rounded the corner with strange exhilaration, his heart fluttering needlessly.
Yet, his mood evaporated when he saw you.
Why did you stop talking and look so guilty as soon as you caught sight of Jamil?
Jamil knew that look you gave to Kalim, had used it himself a thousand times. The one telling Kalim to keep quiet about something.
What could there possibly be that you would be comfortable sharing with Kalim, but not with him? That would give Kalim reason to sit so close to you, a comforting hand on your shoulder?
Jamil's mind raced with possibilities, yet could not settle for any single explanation.
Heād have to ask Kalim about it later.
Jamil gave you a short, polite greeting, his eyes lingering on you in an attempt to read what you were hiding.
āIf Iād known you were coming over, I wouldāve prepared something for you to eat as well,ā Jamil said, already thinking about which parts of the dormās dinner to spruce up for you.
āOh, no need, just figured Iād pop by. Iāll get out of your hair soon enough,ā you said, something sheepish about your expression.
As expected, Kalim asked you to stay and dine with them, and with just a bit more persuasion you agreed - though not before telling Jamil that he should join you too and have himself a breather.
And since Kalim agreed with you, Jamil soon found himself sharing a meal with you and Kalim. Yet, even as he sat down with the food, his mind raced.
Had you been getting particularly close to Kalim lately? But surely Jamil wouldāve noticed such a thing. Maybe someone from the dorm had been giving you trouble? But if that was the case, then surely you could let Jamil know about it, too. Unless for some reason you did not want to? But if it was something that concerned Kalim, then sooner or later it was bound to concern Jamil, too.
All the while, Kalim was talking to you about this and that, the latest topic being the animals kept on the Asim estate.
āIāve got some pictures, let me show you!ā Kalim said with an excited grin.
Only, a thorough patting of his pockets and a look around confirmed that Kalimās phone was nowhere to be seen.
Jamil pinched the bridge of his nose. Where had Kalim left it this time?
Before Jamil even had the chance to say that he would handle it, Kalim sprinted off. Jamil hesitated for a moment, automatically halfway up from his seat, before he decided that leaving a guest unattended would be a worse offense than not helping out his master.
Jamil slumped back down with a sigh, mentally tracing the path Kalim took today, trying to recall the last time he saw Kalim handle his phone.
āBreathe. Heāll manage,ā you said. There was the faintest of smiles on your lips, and Jamil could not decide if it was knowing or amused. Perhaps both.
Somehow, despite his frustration, Jamilās own lips wanted to curl up too.
āHmm. Maybe he will.ā
Sure, Jamil couldāve called Kalimās phone, to make it easier to find, but it was not that urgent, was it?
Jamil took another bite of his food, keeping an eye on you from the corner of his eye.
How was his mind so empty and so buzzing at the same time?
āYou know-ā
āSo-ā
You looked at each other, both just as surprised that the other had spoken up at the same time.
Even your surprised look was so-
āYou first,ā Jamil said. The way you bit your lip... Jamil had to raise a cup to his lips, slowly sipping his drink.
āJustā¦ Feels like itās been quite a while since Iāve seen you be still, you know. Or exchanged more than two words with you,ā you said. You were attempting a light, joking tone, yet it was quite clear there was more to it.
āYou say that like it would be unusual for me to be busy.ā
He was not prepared for the way your soft sigh tugged at his heartstrings.
āNo. It is not.ā
You were both quiet after, poking at your meals. Normally, Jamil wouldāve cherished such a moment of peace, yet this particular silence between you two was decidedly awkward.
Where was your usual chatter? Why werenāt you looking at him like you usually did?
āIf youāre worried about me, donāt. Iām fine,ā Jamil said, some softness creeping into his tone despite his best intentions.
āThat's what Kalim said too,ā you said. Yet the way you looked at Jamil made it clear you were still skeptical.
Wait.
Had you clammed up earlier because it had been Jamil you had been talking about with Kalim? That Kalim had comforted you about?
The thought twisted his stomach into knots.
Eta: you can find part 3 here, part 4 here, and finally part 5 here. Hasdhfsdf the way I fought with that last scene I swear. I don't even want to know how many versions I went through, trying to figure out how to say what I wanted without rubbing it into your face or making it too veiled. The joys of trying to convey things through a limited pov. Hopefully it came out reasonably balanced in the end. Rip to all those sentences that were lovely on their own but didnāt work for the whole. Hopefully I can rehome yāall one day. I do have thoughts for part 3 and part x (might be some chapters between those two as well, who knows at this point), so maybe we'll see those at some point, too. Tag list: @colliope @crystallizsch @diodellet @jamilsimpno69 @jamilvapologist @twstgo If you'd like to be tagged for future works, let me know! (Just be aware that sometimes I do also write nsfw, though you can certainly ask to be tagged only for particular kinds of works.)
#twisted wonderland#jamil viper#twisted wonderland x reader#jamil viper x reader#ner writes#jamil definitely knows how to deal with his feels#also writing this is making me wonder how aware jamil is of his inner versus outer life#like heās very aware of how he comes across because thatās what heās been told to watch out for#but how well has he truly learned to understand himself and his own feelings wants etc?#(I mean as you can tell Iām assuming not very well)#originally this went to more of a ājamil hears just the wrong part of the conversationā route but#a) I kinda hate that trope especially when itās dragged on beyond belief and#b) Kalim maybe doesnāt want to spill anyoneās secrets but he really is such an open book especially with Jamil so#also itās not like jamil needs the extra help to catastrophize he already does that well enough on his own š#tho then I went a little too far in the other direction and had to pull back#but let's just hope I didn't edit this to death by now#also also: since I seem to have a bit of a naming theme going on for this series#if I were to be the sort to go for the angst route what part would definitely be titled Too Late or something along those lines#also x3 but loved folks commenting on that part about reader being inoffensive in the first part#I certainly had fun writing that line#(and in general extra love to everyone who leaves comments on tags replies wherever always great to read those)#(and in general chat with y'all)

DAY 2: New Years!!!
Guys playing dress up with Kiran is so fun actually. I want to give them the fluffy hood all the time now.
#Since I only have a day my research on these types of dress are limited to other feh alts#So I'm really hoping I didn't do anything too catastrophically inaccurate. Or at least not as bad as the book 7 new years alts#I noticed Anna's alt has this over coat she's not fully wearing and it seems to have a fur collar.#That was enough evidence for me to make Kiran's entire overcoat fur lined. Which I find so freaking cute!! Kinda implies they were cold#feh#fire emblem heroes#fire emblem#kiran#feh kiran#feh summoner#fe kiran#fe summoner#FEH Outfit Prompts#art tag

My Qi Rong headcannon of the day (incorporating my design for him) is that like Hua Cheng, he can change his appearance so that even after he loses his mask in the second book/season, people canāt exactly say he looks like Xie Lian. My design for him really turns him into a goblin so if we pretend he looks like that then heās intentionally becoming something as far from Xie Lian as he can, but his true form would be much more beautiful and their similarity much more prominent. But in canon he doesnāt actually have enough power to do that I donāt think? Hua Cheng is powerful enough to have multiple forms so maybe Qi Rong can get by with having only one.
And ignoring my design for him, I think this is also why he wears a mask. Pretty boy donāt like being reminded heās related to Xie Lian.
I also have a headcannon that he was executed by decapitation with the royal xianle family so in the afterlife he has a huge scar around his neck. Heād get pissed off to find it mirrors Xie Lianās cursed shackle.
In other words heās trying to be something as far from Xie Lian as possible, even if he has to make himself as ugly as he can to do so.
Heās on my walls nowā¦
#art catastrophe#I like the idea of him being a disgusting little freak#like if you like qi rong being pretty then hell yeah make him pretty#in fact it was so funny to me that in the dinghyās when his face was revealed her was wearing makeup#legit the most beautiful boy in the entire show#but in my head based on my impression of him from the books heās a freak of nature#he would flick his boogers at you#the type of guy to wear socks OVER his sandals#or even bathe with his socks on#itās his way of saying fuck you to the royal family cause they never gave a shit about him or his mom#and letās be honest while they were both mortal Xie Lian kinda treated Qi Rong like he was a dolt or just worthless#Iām just saying heās gotta be more of a menace beyond just being a cannibal#tgcf qi rong#tgcf#qi rong#tian guan ci fu#hua Cheng#tgcf hua cheng#tgcf headcannon#headcannon#tgcf theory#heaven officials blessing#tgcf donghua#manhua#tgcf manhua#tgcf books#tgcf book 2

Having seen the sheer confusion of people who have seen posts about the locked tomb series but not actually read the books themselves, I've got a few theories as to why that is.
The fandom refuses to focus on the plot, and instead gloms on to the particularly odd chunks instead. Post-apocalyptic magic lesbians unearth ancient and terrible secrets. Cool, good overview. Has anyone ever described that way? No. We're all stuck on revenant Barbie and DIY labotomies. Those are both spoilers that sound insane. They're actually more insane once you have context.
The text of the actual novels, often has the emotional character driven style of fan fiction. And like the good stuff where the title is a song lyric in all undercase and a single chapter with 15K word count. Which can make it difficult to tell apart excerpts from the actual book and excerpts from fan fiction. (This isn't even counting the part of the book where a character actually invented an alternate universe where she and her crush were in a cute coffee shop Au)
The memes. I saw a post where somebody had drawn like 8 different memes of the book. Except only one of them was a drawover of parks and rec, AND THE REST WERE CANNON SCENES FROM THE BOOK.
The naming conventions. The series is called the locked tomb. The 1st book is called Gideon the 9th. The 2nd book is called Harrow the 9th. The 3rd book is called Nona the 9th. The 4th book of what was intended to be a trilogy is called Alecto the 9th.
Somehow the POV character is always the person who is least qualified to tell the story. The narrator has no idea what's happening. The narrator may be clueless, haunted, possessed, in denial, or straight up lying. Why would any of us know what's happening? If you're trying to put together pieces from the outside with no context, you're just fucking doomed.
#gideon the ninth#harrow the ninth#nona the ninth#the locked tomb#Describing it sounds insane#Every character is competing for the title of chaotic bastard#Even the ones that you would think would be the holders of the brain cell#The 1st book starts out and they have terrible secrets that they must keep#and it does not take long to blow those catastrophes out of the water with bigger and worse catastrophes

i want the show to have Rand tell Lanfear that he knows she turned evil because Lews Therin broke her off and for her to just immediately start ranting about tenure and about how you make ONE little mistake and create ONE little bore and suddenly everyone is mad at you all the time and you can't get a third name and you're an embarrassment to have around
#Mierin's fall to the dark is like actually extremely interesting because while yeah you can simplify it to 'Lews Therin broke her heart'#you also gotta acknowledge there was a whole catastrophe of other events in Mierin Eronailes life that very much lead to that breaking poin#like the only other guy we know who was involved in creating the bore and survived it committed suicide later#like we forget sometimes that she didn't turn to the dark right after she helped release the dark one and that was very much an accident#like you know there are a number of reasons why Mierin Eronaile turned to the dark#and probably wasn't really anyone around to stop her from turning to the dark because at that point she might as well be a darkfriend#she caused all of this anyway didn't she?#I have so many feelings about Mierin she gives me such fucking brainrot thinking about her life in the AoL and what made her Like This#like she was the only Forsaken that picked her name#and she was one of the first to openly turn to the shadow#because like fuck if everyone's going to blame her for this she might as do it exactly how she wants#wheel of time#wot on prime#wot book spoilers#wot show spoilers#lanfear#rand al'thor

Love is nothing if not a catastrophe, one that makes me second-guess gravity, history, the limits of my own person. Love is, might be, feels like, a kind of fairy tale too--one that can begin only once the story we thought we knew blows apart.

Christ. Shame on me for watching a one hour video handwringing about booktokers reading books wrong. Time I could have spent asleep in my bed.
#@ person who made that video#immoral books are not causing the downfall of society#I promise#also please worry less about the intellectual rigour and reading habits of strangers#it's not as catastrophic on a society wide level as you believe it to be#also I know I'm now doing the same thing by handwringing about the handwringing but like I'm just so sick of this shit
