ajfhashgaasfajksfh I can’t believe you would give me this taste of potential NieLan and Nie Famnanigans just to rip it away with a “but its probably not gonna happen”. (Me: *tries to pry the not from that sentence using sheer force of will and impressive Lan-like arm strength* ) I’m kidding, of course; thank you for all your contributions (and the time/energy/care that goes into crafting them)! Even this one that I will now dream about if I’m lucky, haha.
I find NieLan unbearably sweet and also very sad (because their separation is, unfortunately, much more concrete than WangXian), and we only ever get a taste of what they’re like together even though we KNOW they’re close. I’m such a sucker for this dynamic too ahhhhhh
You know what, though. I’m gonna play around with them when I have a bit more time and see what happens...no promises though lolololol
(also thank you <3333 seeing your tags when you reblog my stuff always makes me happy - or snicker with non-evil glee)

it was indeed the simple fix but my dad
well. he can be a little chaotic at times
and this was one of those times
it was coffee o'clock and he was at the sink to fill the percolator when it happened
so we do that whole. thing
and we're standing there looking the empty wet cupboard
my dad's on he's knees staring at it
i say "cool so what do we need to get. what do we do to fix this"
he looks at me with this stare he does
i'm gonna do my best to describe it
he kinda inhales. and stares up at you, squinting a bit
you can tell he's thinking and 9/10 times this is his "chaos is going to happen" kind of face
he does a slow blink
then he says "well, i'm going to make a cup of coffee on the one cup, since it's far too late now to use the percolator, and i am going to sit and enjoy my coffee"
but dad. the pipe
we'll take care of it after i have my coffee
so is it the simple fix, i ask?
could be simple, could be three days, he says, getting up with a shrug
and plugging in the keurig
remember when those were all the rage?
SURE ENOUGH. HE MAKES HIS COFFEE
MAKES MY MOM'S COFFEE
SITS DOWN AND STARTS GOING THROUGH HIS COIN COLLECTION
AND THE KITCHEN, NEED I REMIND YOU, IS STILL COVERED IN SOPPING WET TOWELS
THE CUPBOARD OPEN AND DRYING
AND MY DAD'S SITTING DOWN DOING HIS COINS
so you can IMAGINE the confusion on my brother's face
who has been in his room with viddy games this whole time
when he walks downstairs, turns into the kitchen to get himself a percolated cup of coffee
only to walk into THAT
"hey dad where's the coffee"
"pipe burst, so we used the one cup"
"huh. okay"
I'm sitting on the couch like.
why the fuck is everyone so chill about this
they are NEVER chill
ANYWAY
while the cups were brewing he asked me to turn the water to the house back on
since. you know.
he has the shut off valve by the sink FOR the sink
"hindsight's 2020," i say to my Dad as I go down to turn the water back on
WHICH, BTW, WAS AN ORDEAL BC FOR SOME REASON THE TAP THAT TURNS THE WATER ON
TO THE WHOLE ENTIRE HOUSE
SPINS AND SPINS AND SPINS
and then the toilet upstairs starts running
which it had been doing for a while
but then one day just fixed itself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
well. when you shut the water to the house off
and turn it back on
this particular toilet seems to take it as a reset
and remember it had been running
so it's running and running
BUT GOOD NEWS GUYS
THE TOILET WAS REPLACED LIKE 10 YEARS AGO
IT HAS IT'S OWN SHUT OFF VALVE
so we shut it off and continue with coffee o'clock
Sometimes when I come home for a holiday, it's absolutely RANK vibes and SUCKS and I'm ready to yeet myself into the car and head back home. Other times it's heavily chaotic. This weekend is 100% the latter:
i got in Saturday afternoon
went up to my childhood bedroom
smelt like weed
why weed
YO SIBLINGS, SOMEONE DOING WEED IN MY ROOM?
My Dad pipes up cheerily.
NO IT'S JUST SKUNKS :)
I'm sorry...what?
Oh! We have skunks living under the back deck :)
(my room faces the backyard)
We have. what now?
My Mom pipes up: oh yeah it's BAD. one night we had all the windows open and they sprayed and we almost DIED
okay, cool
so I get in get settled some time passes
My Dad's tidying the kitchen when suddenly there's a deep thunk and he YELLS
SHUT OFF THE WATER TO THE HOUSE!!
man runs like his ass is on fire downstairs to shut off the water
my sister books it upstairs
I go into the kitchen to ask where the shut off valve is
THE KITCHEN CUPBOARD UNDER THE SINK IS A WATERFALL, I SHIT YOU NOT
A PIPE BURST?!?!?!?
I run up to gather towels with my sister, we do our best to cover the floor as the cupboard fills with water and it starts to seep out through the cracks
dad is downstairs shutting the valve, is yelling upstairs FLUSH THE TOILETS, WE NEED TO RELIEVE THE WATER PRESSURE
finally the flow stops, my dad comes upstairs, we open the cupboard
FWOOOSH as a small pond comes out onto the towels
Dad looks at the towel mess
looks at the sink
looks at my sister and i
"that was great response time" he says
"i know, right?" my sister says
"i had a shut off valve up here" he continues
"you had a what now??" i ask
"A shut off valve up here under the sink"
he's been adding valves when we replace water related things
the sink was replaced 4 years ago
we could've had less of a flood
"Well. fight or flight," i say with a shrug
"WHAT'S GOING ON WHAT'S HAPPENING" my mom asks from the living room
PIPE BURST my dad says
"Okay, do I need to go to the hardware store?" i ask
"eh," says my dad, "it could be a 3 minute fix, could be a 3 day fix"
THREE DAY? I exclaim
"yeah, you gotta make it sound good," he says, dragging everything out of the cupboard
i have been home for about an hour and a half at this point
