This costume mythological drama co-produced by Singapore and China is adapted from the ancient Chinese legend "The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" and the mythological novel "Journey to the East". The evil way to the sky breaks the curse and is reborn. According to the number of days, the eight immortals in the cave must return to their positions to resist the evil way. Donghua Shangxian (played by Ma Jingtao) was ordered to go through danger and was forced to endure the disaster to guide the Eight Immortals back to their places. After selection, Han Xiangzi (played by Chang Cheng), He Xiangu (played by Zheng Xiuzhen), Lan Caihe (played by Shen Yiling), Cao Guojiu (played by Shen Yiling), Li Haijie), Han Zhongli (Mai Haowei), Tieguai Li (Lin Yisheng) and Zhang Guolao were selected as the Eight Immortals. The Immortal Donghua was demoted to earth and became Lu Dongbin (played by Ma Jingtao), and experienced emotional entanglements with Bai Mudan and He Xiangu who were reincarnated by Fairy Peony (played by Guo Feili). The little demon Pangolin (played by Xie Shaoguang) is obsessed with He Xiangu, but he is also good and evil. Fei Changfang (played by Chang Cheng), who has not yet become Han Xiangzi, cannot forget his deceased wife Zhenniang (played by Lin Xiangping), and unexpectedly meets Princess Long San (played by Lin Xiangping). Faced with a thousand-year love catastrophe, the Eight Immortals went through many hardships, but finally returned to their positions smoothly and embarked on the road of exterminating demons and protecting the Tao.

I saw the Northern Lights and I’m having an extreme emotional reaction excuse me
#I always planned on going somewhere else to see them#never in a million years thought I’d see them at home#it was like when I went to the Grand Canyon#I went because everyone hyped it up and it was on my way home#then I got to the grandview point#I climbed out to a pillar I really shouldn’t have#one lady was yelling about it the entire time#but then other people joined me#it was probably one of the most peaceful moments in my life#that’s what tonight was#profound peace#pure awe and wonder#a desperate wish that I also am part of those colors and swirls that inspire so much#I might not be much#but maybe the collection tells these stories#please don’t ruin them.#northern lights#aurora borealis#EDIT: I live in the east coast of the USA & I was roadtripping back from the west coast#which is why I mention stopping at the Grand Canyon#my sister and I roadtripped to get me there but we got snowed in at flagstaff and couldn’t go to the canyon#so I went on my way back#I had a whole national park tour planned#and I arrived 3 days later than intended specifically because of the Grand Canyon and Grabd Teton

I’m watching one piece, and now I’m wondering do you have any hcs on the world building in the fairy tail universe ? Do you think theirs some crazy kingdom’s , advanced technology in some lands ? Love to hear your thoughts 💗
hmmmmmmmmmmm kinda a bit of a deep question tbh.
Structurally FT has good bones for its world. And that's kinda it lol
There's a fleshed out map of all the countries within the continent that fiore is found on (Ishgar, which has 16 named countries apart from fiore itself) and expanding wider than that we know that there are about 3 named continents (Ishgar to the east being a peninsula connected to the mainland that we know nothing of, Alakitasia to the west where Alavarez is and Guiltina to the north) and a fourth unnamed continent further east that exists within earthland.
But while we have all this info, nothing in particular comes into play as the series had progressed, the majority of the series' arcs all more or less take place within the same country, which for a series that has it's characters constantly travelling for missions looks particularly bad, especially when even the known locations all visually seem indistinct from each other in terms of stuff like architecture. It's a reason why I appreciate edolas in particular because it at least offered something that visually stood out and an insight into how that culture functioned. (and in Phoenix Priestess for the small montage the squad in the city of Rose Garden and showing a bit of the country Veronica)
Like it is frustrating to me whenever I think on it because the solution would be just to change the locations of where they travel to just to expand the background of the places travelled, wouldn't even have to change arc structures or anything to give some life to the named countries like:
Joya despite its small size as a country is the main manufacturers of trains and exports the majority of the transportation other countries use as well as weapons. Wizards are less found here, with treasure hunting being a more popular job choice.
Sin, despite the ironic name, is a deeply religious and faith driven country. Magics that have connection to nature and celestial bodies are particularly revered here.
Desierto mostly deals with trade, having constantly active shipping ports. Enchanted items such as brooms and carpets are popular and easy transport choices within cities and are more widely used than vehicles.
Iceberg's largely uninhabited due to the weather with most of the population sticking closer to the country's borders.
Like this is all just purely flavour text examples to just try and bring some life to these otherwise lifeless locations but you get the general gist of it.
There was clearly this effort to establish these locations by giving then names (and drawing a full on map) so it always boggled me that they were never properly used as a backdrop for the arcs within the story. (Tower of Heaven? Move that arc to Sin, Lucy's arc with Loke? Takes place in Stella, That arc with the giant village? Put it in Minstrel).
Like shifting around major arc locations would easily open up avenues to naturally expand the world as the story moves. And not even just big arcs, but smaller less grand filler arcs (which jesus christ did ft rlly need because it defs need breathing room between all the big events. It's why the story moves at such a breakneck speed without things really feeling as though they've changed in any meaningful ways) would do wonders to make earthland feel like a genuine lived in world (like how it is within the world of one piece that you cited as an inspo for this ask.)
#fairy tail#fairy tail headcanon#i know this ask probably was sent more in the vein of asking for headcanons about the different places#but i am firmly of the belief that if im going to fully rewrite and worldbuild for an existing series#i may as well just create my own thing yknow?#not to knock anyone else who does that ofc but full rewrites and complete changes to an established property arent really for me#bcus all that effort i think could be put into making my own series if i so choose#with regards to your citing of one piece#whilst similar in general tone one piece is purely built on establishing each location#taking time to learn the culture ppl and the political climate of each area#because it in turn feeds into the overarching theme of corruption within that story#so while in one piece it's necessary to know about each land for something lower scale like ft such heavy information#wouldnt be a necessity bcus it wouldnt help to further the base theme of found family and friendship#instead having it expounded on in small drops as the characters go about their jobs (or just general lives) would benefit the story as it i#while also being more than the bare minimum given to us by canon that we have#one piece is a great story with how its world is shaped but that scale is grand and isnt something that should be applied to every story#unless u got time like oda lol

THEY BUFFED D'EON WITH A BUSTED BUFF REMOVAL RESIST, HER SKILL IS A PARTY WIDE ENTIRELY TURN BUFF. I'm surprised they gave such a buff to dD'eon, honestly, but I'm glad their giving these older servants buffs!
I hope maybe they'll buff her np next. It's so outdated, maybe a defense up buff to leen into the taunt thing she has going on with her third skill oh and they could also give her a hp recovery up thing for her too or maybe hp recover per turn!
#fgo#danika's adhd rambles#fate grand order#d'eon#fate series#I love the route their going with some of these recent servent buffs#wish they gave Zenobia a better one but as someone who uses her in stall teams i say its decent but a pure np charge wouldve been better#or increasing her attack buff from her np from 1 turn to 3

Why are we pretending 2 guys who have been in a trio together for like 5 yrs are a "two random wrestlers" tag team? Am i insane???
#tbh im glad none of the purely a tag guys won this#bc grand slam doesnt have TIME for the big build they deserve and also like#all those guys are already in feuds#booking them in a one week build would waste their momentum whereas now we had a match that#escalated the physicality of extant beefs#also fletcher is one of the top tag guys in the world and is in a faction where the whole bit is they freebird#shelley did NOT call him one of the best tag teams mcmg has faced for us to pretend hes a singles guy

Day 602: So, funny thing that happened when the Advanced Quest with Vritra first dropped two or three months ago. I thought that it would be doable to finish her off (with Siegfried, of course) while two of the conditions to defeat her were met.
I was wrong. 🥲
#Fate/Grand Order#fgo#day#I did attempt it again by putting someone in with more than one Quick card (Kagekiyo)#bc I didn't fully understand that to end the battle you had to use a pure color chain#(ex. like a Buster/Arts/Quick chain)#don't know how I missed that detail

Doing some Solo Rolls on GudaGuda Rotating Banner
WHAT THE HECK!
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!
FGO, I just want to MLB the 4* Event CE cause it is the trio of Oryou, Izo & Ryouma.
Instead I get Shinsengumi Vice
Not just once either. In an almost back to back singles for one more copy of a 4* CE, this happened.
Hijikata was like: “Oh, hey. You have all of the summonable Shinsengumi corps (technically). Guess I got to step up as vice commander and make an appearance.”
*Appears with Rainbow Sparks*
Hijikata again in a snap decision: “Hm? Am I not strong enough to represent the corps? Guess I can do a small boost”
*Second Copy Appears*
Hijikata is one of those units that I was impassive about when he first appeared and reoccurring banners he was in. Heck, the only spook I was going for is NP2+ Saito
Welp, at least my Chaldea will have a never ending supply of pickles/yellow radish.
#sunmay rambles#fgo#fate grand order#sunmay plays fgo#Sunmay plays fate grand order#I technically have all of the Shinsengumi Corps if the Summer versions count#like Hijikata decides to one up every expectation I had about summoning in this banner and appear almost back to back#If this was a multi summon then he would have been my first 5* dup#pure madness on these results#Why not Rikyu banner? She is cool but I am impassive if she comes to my Chaldea or not#Same for some other units cause I’m okay with it

@themoomoorn replied to your post “Genuine question, not trying to start a fight, why...”:
My favorite TS tidbit where you get the Golden Ending is that if you keep Roland safe, then the ideal goal is to not set poor Avlora on fire with Wolffort's fire traps, as that would be reprehensible. No, you don't use them there because the right thing to do is to instead use said traps on Exharme and his standing army! 🤦
But you see Exharme BaD Benedict said so !
#themoomoorn#TS stuff#the sheer fact the Wolfforts can hold off Avlora in the early chapters is imo pure bullshit#I always prefered the surrender Roland choice bcs it gives more Cornelia exposition later on!#she is the one who frees him#Exharme is a weird character tbh#we're supposed to believe he's this ambitious person who dgaf about the Goddess and wants to make a name for himself#so why not proposing him to join the Svarog-Wolffort alliance to get rid of Gustadolph and Idore?#He could lead Hyzante in the end or something?#but no we're supposed to believe he was so jelly that Serenor got the mc guffin so he uh was okay with the plan to kill them#even if he knew in the grand scheme of things current hyzante would still be fucked?

I have an beloved one piece oc but she's from my au that is about Usopp leaving the crew at water 7 :D . After the crew (without usopp) reunite and continues their journey after fishman island, they find out Usopp is still a pirate and has a crew now, and apparently he's the captain???(not like he had any choice lol i have some ideas about it). Maybe between the arcs where the strawhats meets law and dressrosa happens, the crew and usopp has a surprise encounter with each other. Anyways my oc makes part of Usopp's crew and she is his precious little thing, they only have a few years old apart and act much like siblings <3
#usopp didn't have the crew to protect him anymore and the grand line is still a bitch to deal with alone#so like.... a lot happens to him#and his soul is not so pure anymore lol in the sense that he has SEEN things#i hc usopp doesn't like killing and everyone knows that. like. he got used to it he's a pirate after all#but he don't like and refuses to do it#so! the usopp in my au bc of his troubled 2 years learned how to kill but only does if necessary#i love my boy i need to put so much trauma in him :D#i just need the crew all shocked seeing how much he changed so in only two years😞#oc#op#one piece#usopp#one piece au

Hi, hope you are well in the afterlife. What exactly is going on with Eli Vanto and Grand Admiral Thrawn? I've heard a lot of gossip but I thought you'd have the inside scoop, so to speak. Are they like together... or what
Dear anon,
I regret to inform you that I cannot give a definitive answer as to whether Commander Vanto and Grand Admiral Thrawn are romantically involved at this point in time. I haven't seen either of them for years, as it seems both are still amongst the living, and I will be frank that with the exception of my mother, I've fallen rather behind about keeping in touch with my living contacts.
I can say that Commander Vanto and Grand Admiral Thrawn were very close in life and spent a great deal of time together. Granted, part of this was likely due to Vanto serving as Thrawn's personal interpreter. However, I believe they were certainly closer than one might expect based on that fact alone.
Now, I always found Thrawn rather difficult to read. He and Vanto weren't as openly affectionate as some other couples, though I doubt Thrawn would be particularly inclined towards excessive PDA as it was. He was much too dignified for that.
As far as Vanto is concerned, he did express a particular.... fascination, shall we say, with the Grand Admiral that surpassed what one might expect of a simple working relationship. The two of us were quite friendly with each other at a time. I suppose we connected over coming from "backwater" planets. He clearly had a very high opinion of the Grand Admiral which he expressed to me at times. And he did mention to me once that he favored men with red eyes, who were in short supply in the Empire.
Then, there was one occasion during a group retreat to Niamos in which Motti suggested we play "kriff, marry, kill". During one round, I mentioned for the sake of the game only that I would kriff Thrawn if given the choice between Thrawn, Grand Moff Tarkin and Admiral Screed. I didn't think anyone cared about my answer. Then, I woke up in the middle of the night to find Vanto sneaking around my bed with a vibroblade. He later denied the incident, which made me wonder whether it was a nightmare of sorts, but I am now quite sure that it did indeed happen.
So, that is all the evidence I have on the matter. If anyone is more informed than me, I would be happy to hear what they have to say on the matter. I will say I am unfortunately not very savvy in terms of discerning romance, as evidenced by the fact that about half of the Empire apparently though General Maximilian Veers and I were married at a time when I didn't even think we were dating.
-Admiral Piett
