#forgor to post yesterday so here it is!

[turtle-ly]

happens to the best of us

[k0re-drawings]

STARTING HIKORI AU THE COMIC WOO!! even if i still have to work on some designs but UH... YEAH this will kinda be a wild ride even for me but i will try my best to make it work!

AAA ok im gonna ramble a little in case you wanna know context!! and also some more info…?

ok so, white space in this au is basically the same as the canon one (ofc) but Sunny doesn't see it as his safe place anymore, it's… basically a prison of pure guilt to him. However when hikori gets out and enters headspace he doesnt feel trapped but it isnt really any better since he can't control what exactly happens anymore… headspace ended up becoming an unpredictable place, and that is terrifying to him. Making him afraid if theres EVEN THE SLIGHTEST reminder of the accident. either way… you could say stray cat is one of those silly little reminders oopsie WHAHA

alright this is all im gonna say for now! have a nice day/night 🧍‍♀️❤

For me the ship appeal for shuangshui comes from the following:

Both of them are big brothers who'd do anything to protect their little siblings

If the roles were reversed HX would have done the same to save his sister

"Have you no remorse" if HX truly only hated him why would he care if swd felt bad about what he did? He's invested in the outcome and was desperate for an apology and acknowledgement of his feelings (which SWD only denied him because SQX was at risk)

HX saw SWD's face at death and that's what kept him bound to this world instead of passing on

After killing SWD, if HX was satisfied in his revenge his soul should have dissipated, but he's still here

You can argue this is bc of SQX, but ghosts can't change their obsession, or the resentment tying them to this world, and a ghost king has the strongest obsession of all

Shuangshui as a foil for hualian, basically what happens when you dedicate your existence to hate instead of love (which is, after all, the function of bw arc in the novel)

They don't have a chance in canon since it's very one sided, HX's obsession for a guy who doesn't even know who he is, but that's the tragic appeal of it, destroying the person you should have loved with your own hands, because you refused to understand your own heart, and dooming your soul to wander, unsatisfied, forever

And maybe if things had been different, Shi Wudu could have loved the soft, sensitive Scholar He, who would sacrifice it all for his sibling too

There's a lot of lost potential to explore, in another universe I would have loved to do laundry and taxes with you

Who is being so poetic in my asks!!!!!

Bro wrote amazing character analysis and expects to just get away with it

______________________________________

I really did not think of the actual meaning of both being water themed and why He Xuan Specifically chose this . And now that you say it i find it really interesting

Arrrh and the fact his calamity name is Black Water Sinking Ships when Shi Wudu does the same thing with ships that don't send him offerings before sailing 😭😭

He really copied that man he was supposed to hate everything about

(I also took a break from tgcf right after black water arc to start reading svsss so i didn't take into account that he might still be around. But thats really tragic he dedicated like 800? Years to his revenge and he wasn'teven satisfied with it and since the source of his suffering is basically gone he can't do anything about it now right)

I also- forgor to press "post" on this yesterday

[fireroll]

remember that crack (treat seriously) au i made. here's Basil. I'm very slowly getting the hang of colouring DSFJKSDF

ALSO he just turned 16 here! he's a couple months older than Aubrey, Kel, and Sunny sooo

btw in case you didn't see my post yesterday here's a brief summary of this au under cut ^^ (also i'll probably redo these doodles [refs?] a bunch of times)

it's based off that one pic with like a person going "THE REASON I FELT SO OUT OF PLACE IN MY FRIEND GROUP IS BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL IN A POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIP AND I DIDN"T KNOW" (it goes something like that 😭😭😭)

So basically one day around 3 years after Mari's death, Sunny gets forcefully busted out of his house. Literally. Kel breaks into his room through his window (he's standing on Aubrey, who's standing on Basil) and they drag him outside

He's like super confused, very much disorientated ("what????"), but hey. he had a great time so can't really complain.

Like...3 days later (adjustment period) the others sit him down and goes "Ok. haha. so..the Truth is out. it's been out for like, a little more than a year."

Sunny (repressed memories :c) is like "what Truth????"

Basil: ...the stairs?? Mari?? ring any bells?

trauma breaks out then gets resolved yada yada.

Sunny feels like he's missing something. Actually, he's felt like he has been missing something ever since he got out of his house. He assumed it's just cause he hasn't been here for like 3 years. Then he assumed it was because he didn't remember the Truth. Then...he can deny is no longer. He is Missing Something and he didn't like it.

Then he found out Basil, Kel and Aubrey were dating. like. wow.

(the whole thing has just been such a norm for the other 3 that they just totally forgot Sunny didn't know. it's not like they were purposefully leaving him out or something, it's just that...they forgor 💀)

Sunny: ok ok. cool cool, congrats. :)

(he's totally not jealous because he has Several Crushes™)

Eventual Solar System.

Today I want to share the joy that Reading A Newspaper has brought me recently (yesterday).

Because you see, it's not very often that I can read a several pages long good quality feature on a band that I'm something of a fan of, considering that until last year at best, all and any musical favourites I had were next to unheard of in the, let's call it, professional music business. And said feature also gave a few mentions to the one and only fav band of all time which I'm also still not used to being able to read about in my language (because it only happened like 5 times in total so far anyway, but still). And I can buy the newspaper in my local store in this minuscule town and find Sparks inside, like wow, it really is My Sparks, in this real life physical newspaper that I just got. This was like a belated but very epic christmas gift for me and I'm not kidding.

But well yeah getting to the point now, Franz Ferdinand are starting their tour soon promoting their upcoming new album and they're stopping in Poland too, so there was this whole 14-pages long overview of their whole career, and while I was obviously interested in the whole thing I was most hyped about the fact that there would have to be something about FFS and Sparks there and this brings me to my delighful observation that wow, all of this is so, connected in a way. Like how there are these connections in inspiration and collaborations between many of my favourites that I didn't even think about probably being a thing before, but when I think about it it just makes so much sense. Like how in this interview with Alex Kapranos, the interviewer brings up Talking Heads and specifically Fear of Music, because the new Franz Ferdinand album also has this sort of overarching theme of fear. And it's funny because that's the first Talking Heads album I've ever listened to and still my favourite from them to this day and overall one of my all-time favourite albums. And I guess it shouldn't be that shocking that it'd come up here because Talking Heads were super influential and inspired thousands, but also until now I didn't think about how both these bands share the general direction of creating dance-able type of rock with lyrics that are often on the more reflective and "intellectual" side. And also that album has been recommended to me as the most TMBG-like of theirs so. Wow I wonder why I like it.

Ok there were also all these other things that I want to mention too, so, other miscellaneous points of interest:

In the debut album review, the reviewer said that during Tell Her Tonight Alex sings a lot like Russell Mael, who likes to sing in falsetto. And well I know there's also the Sparks connection in the form of FFS to come later but still, this was such a great SPARKS MENTION!!!! moment for me anyway. But also they got one thing wrong, because it's not that Russell likes singing in falsetto, Ron forced him to sing in falsetto by writing all of his songs in this crazy uper range of notes, and that's a very important detail !!!!!!

And ok I had no idea that Piss Off already existed in some form as far back as 2004!! Or I knew about this and then I forgor. Either way, fascinating piece of information

I need to know more about how these star-based ranking systems work because why would you call FFS an "excellent album" and then rate it 4 stars. Instead of, I don't know, 4 and a half or 5 maybe?? Especially since it apparently has only 2 "weak songs". And I have some major objections when it comes to this too, because we're calling Things I Won't Get a weak track now?? It's just underrated as heck, and that's a hill that I will die on

Also I could never be a music reviewer because these people can fit their whole commentary on one song within one sentence and I feel like I would have to write at least 3 paragraphs on even the least exceptional of songs on a given album before I can feel like I did it justice. I mean, this whole post itself shows how much of a problem this is for me, lol

Also guys were we all aware that FFS turns 10 next yeah. Oh god. Well I need to remember to keep my tradition and preapre a cool piece of fanart for that occasion then. Maybe they should give us FFS 2 to celebrate, I'm pretty sure there'd be lots of interest among the fandom in something like that. Anyway

Well also this wasn't the only article in this whole thing of course and CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, there was a little bit on the Harrison & Belew Remain In Light Tour, which I will also be attending!!! Lots of great stuff is cooking for the first half of 2025 for me musically I can't lie

And also CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, that a year and a half since it was supposed to be released "worldwide" and long after I already lost hope that I'd ever see it in a cinema, they're releasing Stop Making Sense in cinemas over here too. Fucking finally!!! By gods and heavens, that rare moment when you learn about something crucial through a goddamn instagram ad of all places. And then they also reminded me about this in an actual article so well wow. Can you believe this. I can't. So stocked for next saturday when i'm seeing this movie the way it was always supposed to be seen hehehe

Ok I think that's it. Thank you for reading and maybe I should really make that personal website for my rambles in the new year. I'd definitely put that thing to use.
