This is CQL only as I haven’t read the novel or watched the donghua. I REPEAT: THIS IS CQL ONLY.

Hi! So it’s been established here that lwj did A LOT of significant things that the story chose not to show.

Written in that post is: Lan Wangji saved A-Yuan and Wen Qing and that’s why he was late at the Battle in Nevernight.

There are a few more things that I want to say:

Lan Wangji spoke up for the Wens. He openly expressed that the Wens should not be executed.

For those who are saying that Lan Wangji is just as useless as anyone who did nothing for the Wens, then stop. Because HE DID something. You could argue that he didn’t do enough. But what else do you want him to do? Battle the Jins himself and lose his life? Point is, if you check the deleted scenes, Lan Wangji, in fact, DID battle the Jins (even the Lans!!!) in order to save Wen Qing’s life. He’s so much better than those who literally did nothing and let the Jins do as they please.

This was already stated in the linked post above but I’m still gonna put it here: Lan Wangji saved A-Yuan BEFORE Wei Wuxian died. Not after.

When he saw A-Yuan, he didn’t have the arm injury he got from the Battle in Nevernight. When he was defending the Burial Mounds, you can see the blood on his right arm, which indicates the presence of the injury he got from the Battle in Nevernight. So this means that he saved A-Yuan before he got his arm injury— before the war— before Wei Wuxian died. So for those who’s saying that Lan Wangji only redeemed himself after Wei Wuxian’s resurrection, you’re wrong. He has always been on Wei Wuxian’s side since day one.

I’ve seen people say that Lan Wangji probably didn’t have any contribution during A-Yuan’s growth since he was recovering. Wow, idk where they got that from. They must know better than A-Yuan then?

A-Yuan openly expressed that he adores Lan Wangji. When he and Wen Ning reunited, he kept talking about Lan Wangji. A-Yuan himself said that Lan Wangji is his father/brother figure, which means that HE IS a big part of A-Yuan growing up. Look, just because the director didn’t show it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Who says that a man can’t show love and affection to a child just because he’s injured?

Lan Wangji leaving Wei Wuxian at the end wasn’t uncharacteristic. He doesn’t deserve the hate he gets because of that.

Y’all hated Lan Wangji for leaving Wei Wuxian in the end. It’s probably censorship, I agree. But for me, it wasn’t uncharacteristic. I wish you all to stop being WangXian-centered for a while and think of what just happened. Lan Xichen is currently experiencing a very devastating heartbreak. I think the reason why Lan Wangji couldn’t leave with Wei Wuxian was because he wanted to take care of his brother. Y’all hated MDZS Lan Wangji for leaving Lan Xichen just like that when he’s experiencing what Lan Wangji experienced 13/16 years ago but now that CQL Lan Wangji prioritized Lan Xichen, y’all still hated him? Whatever Lan Wangji does, he always gets hated, doesn’t he?

Lan Wangji is very dedicated to Wei Wuxian but let’s not forget that he still has a life outside Wei Wuxian. The reason why he was able to let Wei Wuxian go on his own was because Wei Wuxian’s life wasn’t in immediate danger anymore. He wasn’t a target anymore since the entire world probably heard of the news already that Wei Wuxian was actually innocent. Lan Wangji had to take care of his brother. He had to take up the role of being the sect leader. And he became the Chief Cultivator, which majority of you think is uncharacteristic. I don’t really have a say about him being the Chief Cultivator but please stop limiting Lan Wangji to what you’ve seen him capable of doing. He is surely capable of growth.

FOR THE LAST TIME: THIS IS CQL ONLY.

Leviathan acting like a snake during winter, hiding in his room more often, eating less; Everyone sees him even less than normal. Like, he actually goes through a period of brumation. Because I think that'd be interesting.

He'll still interact with people and play his games, but he definetly seems more tired than usual, and more out of it.

[lesbianjoannaharvelle]

okay i saw the post lol. Couldn't be more wrong. The reason we were experiencing a mass hysteria on nov 5th 2020 was yes, the heightened stress situation because of the election and yes, something fandom-related happening was funny because it was silly compared to it, but it HAD to be destiel to make the reaction that extreme. Because destiel was the ship that had shaped tumblr culture the most. remember how we all recycled old tumblr memes because the height was tumblr cringe fandom culture was almost all spn and destiel. And also destiel was the ship we never thought would go canon. The gayest most homophobic ship. THAT'S why we were hysteric

MUTUALS LOOK AWAY. ok now that it’s just me and the bsd fans. having many thoughts about a soukoku and shinsoukoku hadestown au with skk as hades and persephone and sskk as orpheus and eurydice and im going to eat drywall

[oh-gh0st]

i hate how good he genuinely looks

[tls12lessthan3]

as much as i praise orv on here there are some times i think it falls into pitfalls of the genre and the way it treats sexual assault and it's consequences is definitely one of those times

[active-mind-15]

I have a headcanon that when the Teiko gang is older, Akashi gets tired of seeing Aomine and Momoi being oblivious to the relationship they have with each other, so he conspires with the other GoM + Kuroko to get them together and it works.

ok op I found your art a bit ago when I got back into aa and immediately got reinvested into narumitsu and I. Am obsessed with the way you draw Phoenix. he is so nice to look at and idk if I'm making sense with this but your art is so calming!! it's so good!! do you have any art tips for beginners? I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I just really enjoy your style and your art is a big inspiration. have a good day/night!

thank you so much ;_;! with art tips i never really know where to start esp cuz "beginner" is a really broad spectrum, but the best i can give (aside from telling you to do studies and dumping a masterpost of stuff people already have talked over endlessly) are 2 things that drastically helped improve my outlook on art 1) Draw things simply for the sake of it being fun. Basically this post

sometimes I would get so caught up in my own head about trying to make the Next Best Thing but ended up just killing any joy drawing gave me which defeats the whole point of art for me. Sometimes you have to draw some silly shit just to be like damn this is fun !

2) Let yourself be inspired by other art. By that I mean look at other artists work and actually analyze what you enjoy about it (color, pose, composition, etc.) and see how you could apply that to your own work. It's not cheating to use some colors or a pose you found interesting in one persons work. the Key here is being INSPIRED and not COPYING please for the love of god nobody misinterpret this

if you did want any advice on something specific feel free to shoot another ask! im very bad with Broad topics like this </3 EDIT: i'm gonna go ahead an link a really good post iraprince made on the basics of getting started with art! It's a lot more thorough and also the part about learning to separate your inspiration is really good: https://www.tumblr.com/iraprince/674915305693265920/if-youd-never-seriously-practiced-art-how-would

I have thoughts about this zane head that I cannot share without causing at least two different problems for myself.

[eclerc]

some of yall dont understand charles personality type so let me break it down for you. He’s that damsel in distress in old porn videos who goes help! And traps men of any age and then boom ten minutes later she unleashes like a beast gargling onto cock like a saltwater marine whale.

[bellshazes]

there are very few things in minecraft that are truly dependent on time alone; i don't even mean the unit-rate of AFK farms, but things that are exclusively governed by the passage of in-game time, like sugarcane, nether wart, amethyst, etc. the most obvious of these is mob breeding, and the aging up of some but not all mobs. you can increase your cows by 50% each time you breed every five minutes, no less, ditto other mobs. sure, that counter only increments when the mob is in a loaded chunk, but that's almost always trivial.

turtles are doubly governed by time, seeing as they are constrained to 5-minute breeding intervals like all other breedable mobs AND their eggs hatch according to the immovable stubborn slow grind of random ticks. eggs, however, only have a chance of cracking each in-game day they are loaded, and need to crack multiple times to hatch.

Turtle eggs have a chance of cracking during random ticks. Throughout the vast majority of the day, random ticks have a 1/500 chance of causing the egg to crack. There's a small window in the very early morning hours where random ticks have a 100% chance of cracking eggs. This window is defined as the time between celestial angles 0.65 and 0.69, or 03:36 am and 04:33 am on a 24-hour clock. This window lasts 48 seconds in-game. - MC Turtle Mechanics on GitHub

if you are not loading the chunk during this 48-second window during nighttime, you may not get a guaranteed tick. if you skip the night, you will never get a guaranteed tick. other than refusing to sleep (at least until after 04:33 AM) you can not speed up turtles, only slow them down by sleeping and not being close by.

turtle breeding would be deeply, deeply frustrating and despair-inducing if it mattered at all, whatsoever. functionally, if you're farming eggs for various other farms, you only have to suffer gathering enough grown turtles to breed and harvesting those eggs immediately. if you're farming scutes for turtle master potions or scutes, you can do the same as farming eggs but put a hopper minecart under the sand to catch the scutes when the eggs hatch and the turtles grow up, and you're unlikely to need either turtle helmets or turtle master potions in bulk. either way, just set up your area where you spend a lot of time and let it run in the background after actively breeding them.

turtle egg hatching only becomes optimal when you are doing things that are not turtle egg hatching. the question becomes not how to optimize the farm, but what does maximum optimization look like for farms that cannot be traditionally optimized because they're gated by time? you're unlikely to even encounter waste-as-limiter, such as in some high efficiency, low redstone farms that substitute player inventory for hoppers. you have to understand the farm as a piece of a larger passive system composed of all the other separate things you intend to do, and your own rhythms and goals as a player.

I REALLY haven't shared my updated Aiden HCs here, huh? Time to change that <3 Under a "Read More" for your convenience.

Aiden is Native American-Latino-(Irish) [Severely "No Sabo"; don't ask him to speak Spanish, he'll cry]

Panromantic Demisexual.

22 (S1) 27 (Post-S2)

He's 6'4'' | Built fairly strong and lean. Tall and lanky could have described him A LOT in his teenage years. But working in construction helped build a bit of muscle.

Has a Superiority Complex and is Mentally Ill </3 [BPD and fights heavily with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria]

Alt/Grunge/Punk Aesthetic more than Greaser. Leather jacket, yeah, but ripped jeans with a wallet chain and undercut hair and MANY piercings and a sleeve tattoo (right arm) and eyeliner. Has so many freckles. So, so many. Heterochromia ftw! (right iris is green, left iris is brown) Beauty mark by his right eye. Has two scars. One on his chin from his adoptive father (Mh, there's a reason "Father" by The Front Bottoms is in my Aiden playlist) and one from above his right eye to his nose (cuts his eyebrow down the middle) he got in his fight with Jesse in Sky City.

Arachnophobic/Acrophobic.

Runs so so so cold. Like he's always freezing. Like get him some blankies and extra sweaters, please. Everyone's pretty sure he's cold-blooded.

Still Ellegaard and Magnus' kid. That hc can be ripped from my cold dead hands.

Still a complete hopeless romantic. I don't speak about this hc as often but GENUINELY it's my favorite. He just wants to love and be in-love…

Love Languages are physical affection and words of affirmation.

He is now exempt from needing glasses because I kept forgetting. Eyesight Restored!

Also he's SO a theater kid.

BONUS!

Maya's his adoptive sister! She is the child of his adoptive parents, Helen and Dean. They get along well from the first day they meet which is great because they're gonna need each other a lot later. [He calls her Miles]

He and Petra are childhood friends! They met at five years old when she was transferred to the local children's home. They butt heads a lot at first but slowly found they liked climbing trees better together. They could also get away with a lot more together. They egg each other on and their shenanigans do AOE damage to others. [Aiden calls her anything but Petra because it makes her mad; Freckles, Ginger, Bandanna (Don't be fooled, they love every name he gives them)]

He met Lukas at five as well a couple months later. [Lukas was four] Lukas's mother, Helsie, read at the children's home a lot and brought Lukas along. Aiden included him in his and Petra's game and he and Lukas just clicked. They’re like night and day y’know? Lukas’ family was well off and Aiden’s never known the luxury of having enough money. Lukas was fairly reserved (as a kid) and Aiden was always outgoing. Lukas is levelheaded; Aiden is short-tempered as hell. Aiden brings Lukas out of his shell and Lukas mellows Aiden out. They are give and take, push and pull. And yet oil and water. But they meld well anyway. [Aiden's always called him Luke.]
