talking Jorvik competing in the Olympics has me thinking;

Jorvik excelling in the equestrian rounds at the Olympics is the same energy as Australia in the swimming rounds.

really good at that specific sport bc it somewhat works hand in hand with international perception, but not as good at any other sport

three small joys/victories from yesterday:

I made my first Big Parenting Decision on my own despite pressure/guilt from my (beloved but at times overbearing) family. I feel secure in my choice and I spent a lot of time thinking about the underlying reasons for it, which was a good values-defining exercise. and you know I love a values-defining exercise.

I don’t know many lullabies but I discovered that he really likes it when I sing “but daddy I love him” to him slowly and with dramatic facial expressions. you can tell this kid was subjected to a lot of tswift in utero lol

pip is being almost unbearably sweet and gentle with baby 😭 he’s my velcro dog and loves to sit in my lap so I was worried he’d get territorial about me holding the baby all the time. but he’s just seamlessly adapted and now he curls up next to me or by my legs when my lap is occupied. he’s also been a lot calmer in general, which might pass once the initial shock of A New Arrival wears off but is helpful right now as we settle into routines.

[sinni-ok-sessi]

the summer holidays draw to a close and once again I must ask myself whether I can face reintroducing Hell Wednesdays to my life

(hell wednesdays being the series of bad decisions that mean I work my 9-5 job, do an online chinese class 5-7, leave the house at 7 to get a train to my 8-10 dance class, get back from that at 11ish and then I guess just die? idk, somehow I kept this up for two terms last year, but I'm another year older and tireder and I just. don't really want to. except that I do very much want to take a chinese class again and I love dancing and don't want to quit it, and I unfortunately don't get a choice about the job thing, so here I am :/ I am very much in the market for recs for small-group language classes though (cannot deal with 1:1 tutoring for reasons of I am very shy))

trying to finish an angst fic with the existential feeling of dread in your chest so you can communicate all your feelings into words while you have a headache and are very very tired should be an olympic sport

I was reading your OCs post and I sympathize with Huai a lot. Kung Lao is one of my favorite characters so I'm glad to see some lore about his family, as terrible as they are to this poor gal.

I don't know if this aspect of your AU completely follows the canon lore so it might be irrelevant but how did Huai live through the death of her cousin and her family moving to the U.S? What about her son leaving the family to become a thief or when she found out about Jin's orientation? Surely she had to find herself standing up for her son despite the pressure of her family's hate and judgement.

Thank you so much for the ask! 😭

In my au the Kung family doesn't move to America because of their status in China. If they are as powerful as canon suggests I don't understand why they would uproot their life. Also I've structured them like a clan with land that multiple families live on, with Lao's being the main family/clan heads (I figured they wouldn't name some random Kung after their ancestor).

Lao's death hit her hard as he was essentially her rock, even if he didn't know the true extent of how she was treated. She found herself just going through the motions for a couple years afterward. The only times she was really present was when she was raising Jin. I don't think she ever fully processed her grief and just tried to "move on" on her own.

After Jin was caught with his boyfriend at school there were several family meetings on what to do with him. The majority without Jin present. His head had already been shaved to mark his dishonor. So most was about deciding his future and whether or not he is still fit as a member of the main branch.

The consensus was to have him married off to a woman and if he resisted he'd be kicked out and disowned with nothing but the clothes on his back. Huai tried to fight it, not wanting him to become as miserable as she is. She pulled her status as clan heiress, something she hadn't done in over a decade, but was overruled. That night after everyone was asleep she helped Jin pack a bag and gave him the money from her childhood escape fund, she told him the elders were disowning him (purposefully leaving out the marriage part) and he had to get as many things as he can and leave before they noticed. Telling him that he'd be happier out there than he ever would be here.

I imagine Jin feels incredibly conflicted about it. He found himself resenting Huai despite his better judgment. He questions why she didn't fight for him more, why she was such a doormat his entire childhood, and, while grateful for keeping him afloat the first couple weeks while he adjusted to his new life, why she gave him such little money, not knowing it wasn't from the family's vault. An itching feeling keeps telling him there's more to the story but he can't seem piece it together.

After joining the Shaolin, he's redirected most of his anger toward the clan itself, accepting Huai tried to do her best. But if he saw her again he doesn't think he'll be able to meet her eyes.
