I tried making cabbage soup for the first time yesterday and I finally understand why this bitch was in a million books I read as a kid

Like I only had a mug of it fresh because that's what was left after storing it in no fewer than 3 containers (2 in the freezer because I'm attempting to adult in that Food Prep Life kinda way for once) and I still needed to finish off the last of the Delicious Hungarian Mushroom Soup (finish off as in eat the largest bowl of soup in my life so I could wash the container) AND I also made bean and potato soup in the slow cooker because the chicken had gone bad and the potatoes were on the cusp and I had an extra can of white beans laying around so I had a bowl of THAT yesterday for lunch and only snacked for dinner SO THIS is my first real bowl of the cabbage soup

and I get it I get it I get it, I used SO many veggies that otherwise would've been wasted AND so many spices AND there's that Good Cronch, how did I once scoff at the concept of cabbage soup this bitch is so GOOD

(I used no fewer than 3 bell peppers, one of each color, and a cucumber, and lazily threw in a cup of baby carrots, and committed to a WHOLE ASS onion in one dish instead of roughly half like I normally do, this bitch is good this bitch is good hell YEAH this bitch is good!!!)

Yap more about Austria

why am i being enabled

this is a dangerous thing

because allow me to open the subject that it is criminally underwhelming how in the source material little is explored about Austria's relations to the low countries (Netherlands - Luxembourg - Belgium), Portugal, Liechtenstein, Bohemia (later Czechia) and Slovakia, Slovenia, given the extensive reach of the Habsburg reign when they became the running contenders for the imperial throne of Holy Roman emperor

in fact Austria in the series had so much potential to be fleshed out as a dominating force with a lot of connections if Himaruya had delved a little further into the significant role the duchy had been elevated to given how the Habsburg instrumentalised the duchy into their empirical domain, with Vienna as the capital the bigger they expanded

- The low countries before it became Spanish possessions had been another fief in the HRE. The Habsburgs managed to attain it by way of marriage through Maximilian I to Mary of Burgundy, the Burgundian monarchs having held the fief beforehand. The succession of the inheritance was through his heir, Philip, who married into the Spanish monarchy. When the thrones were unified under Charles V's ascension as emperor, son of Philip, grandson of Maximilian, that's how Spain got to enjoy the chunk of Habsburg domains similarly to Austria also having access to Spain's New Worlds posessions.

- Bohemia was prominent in claiming the Austrian duchy to better their chances at aiming for the throne. Not only was Ottokar already with a nomination, he was on good terms with the Austrian nobility. In turn, Austria would've been pretty good friends with lil Bohemia at the time before being forcefully ripped apart because a certain SOMEONE wanted to fuck Ottokar over. Bohemia was later another domain grouped into Habsburg possessions later into their long reign.

- Can I mention that as opposed to how the series depicted Liechtenstein to be by herself up till Switzerland found her, the kingdom was another fief in HRE. And of course when our favourite greedy schemers became the powerhouse ruling the empire, the little kingdom was another of their property and Liechtenstein and Austria maintained a fair, amicable relationship all the way to world war one. The only reason the territory was conceded included financial instability where they literally had no money left to help Liechtenstein out, so this battered single parent Austria had no other choice to send his (step) daughter away for Switzerland to take her in.

- Portugal. Was. An. Ally. During the war of the Spanish succession. Portugal and the Dutch, whilst their aim was to weaken the Spanish empire and chip away at their new world possessions, it was a mutual agreement between their coalition and the Austrian Habsburg. Not to mention during the joint-empire situation, Austrian monarchs married into Portuegese line to, some semblance of interaction would've made sense to portray these elements of how ridiculously LARGE the circle of network the Habsburg created.

- Don't get me started on Belgium.

- Did you know she spent some period of time in Habsburg Austria household before gaining independence? Part of the concessions following the war of the Spanish succession; prior to this, the Dutch already rebelled and became their own sovereign after detaching from the low countries. It left Belgium and Luxembourg, and they became Austrian-Netherlands when they reaffirmed their hold over this territory in the bunch of treaties that were signed following the war. So to see not a lick of interaction. Even acknowledgement. Not even EITHER of them ever having a moment with each other is so. Speaking of.

- The Belgian king tried to steal imperial treasure from Austria after WWI. Roderich would've given her and the king hell because they tried taking the order of the golden fleece amongst the other things. Have you any idea how hilarious that would be if Himaruya could depict that in the series? Austria would be so composed about it while taking jabs at her like oh remember the little kingdom who thought herself big daring to loot my treasury? Hmm?

- There is. So much. SO many potentially interesting, diverse elements to explore and grow aph Austria with. This is such a unique character considering this wealthy source of historical significance that played a huge part of reigning the longest and shifting the power balance throughout the continent not once, not twice, but three times because it all started with the over-eager Habsburg family that originated from Switzerland.

- Austria would've been the greatest conman to ever exist because that's how Habsburgs entered the bloody battle for the throne; convenient forgery and embellishment to legitimise their claim and marriage connections that solidified their backing. This prospect of grand ambitions single handedly shaped the way Roderich is as a person that he was empire first before reuniting with his personhood to the original roots of his Austrian self.

Overheard at the bau

Emily: "being a mom is so stressful"

JJ: "Babe, you babysat Henry like two times"

Emily: "And I'm not talking about him" *points to Derek and Spencer who are fighting for a hair clip* "It's those overgrown kids that make my hair turn grey"

[paisholotus]

why you all of a sudden talking about Gaza 🤔

.....

......

You must be new here. Because I've always talked about Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigre..etc I've never been too good or cared about what other people think, to talk about things that are important.

You must not follow me. Me spreading awareness and information is not new here.

Hope this helps. 🫶🏾🦋

This is the great and powerful clan that everyone “had” to cower to in order not to be “wiped out”?

Some time later, the LanlingJin Sect in Langya was on the verge of collapse, having already been barely managing. Lan XiChen just happened to be assisting another area. Jin GuangShan asked for help from Hejian, and Nie MingJue arrived shortly afterward.

–Chapter 48: Guile, exr

Lan Qiren is holding down the fort at the Cloud Recesses, allowing Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji to appear wherever needed on the battlefield. Jiang Cheng has one-man-army Wei Wuxian. Nie Mingjue is a powerhouse on his own and the Nie lost almost no battle the entire war. But the Jin are struggling to hold one (1) port after hemming and hawing their way around fully entering the war effort against Wen Ruohan to begin with? Interesting.

"your gentleness" 😭

[giggly-squiggily]

Same thing with Maxie! Even though Courtney and Tabitha would be scared at first to try, since they don’t want to anger him, once they hear this laugh, they understand that he needed to be perked up :)

Mehehehehhehe! I'm officially making this the "Same day, different setting" dabble to the Archie one! Both men are getting cheer up tickles today! I've gotcha covered, anon!

File not found.

Maxie stared at his monitor for a long, long time. Three little words was all it took to ruin his day. Taking a deep breath, he cradled his head in his hands.

Then with a roar, he grabbed the Ghastly stress ball off his desk, throwing it as hard as he could against the wall. It bounced and rolled away unscratched.

“What happened? Boss?” Tabitha ran in, eyes wide at the sound. Behind him, Courtney poked her head over his shoulder, equally concerned. “Did something break?”

Maxie flushed, shamed. Then he slumped, waving at the monitor. “Tabitha, Courtney. Do either you know how to fix corrupted files?”

~~~

Two hours and three cups of coffee later- the files were found and restored. Tabitha slumped back in his borrowed chair with a satisfied huff, grinning up at the two. “Done! That’ll do it, boss.”

“I went ahead and backed up the rest. Just in case this happens again.” Courtney looked up from her tablet, munching away at the remains of her donut.

“Thank you two. Where’d I be without you?” Maxie sighed as he leaned against the wall rubbing away a headache. All day it’s been nonstop- every little bad thing that could happen did. He never felt so drained.

“Hm…Boss? You seem pretty stressed.” Tabitha noted the stress lines along Maxie’s forehead. “Why not take a break?”

“Yeah- we can go out to that new cafe down the road! They got better coffee than this sludge.” Courtney perked up, grimacing as she swished around her cup. “It’s a nice day too.”

“I appreciate the thought, but I have to finish my work.” Maxie began to make his way back to his desk. “If I recall, you two also-”

He never finished that thought as ten fingers attacked his ribs.

Now- Maxie wasn’t a bad person. He was just-well, intimidating. His subordinates did their best to avoid angering him the best he could. However- Courtney’s desire for coffee won over her innate fear in that moment as she tickled the absolute daylights out of the redhead. There was a brief, tense pause where both her and Tabitha were sure they’d die.

And then…

“EEEH! Ehehehehehehehhehaahhha! Co-Courtnehehehehhehy! Pfft-sthahahhaap thahahahhahaht!” Maxie doubled over, trapped within her clutches. “Enohohoohohough!”

“Holy- it’s working, Tabby! Get over here and help me!” The girl cried in glee, too afraid to stop as she carried on poking and prodding along his torso. Tabitha was quick to join in, going for Maxie’s belly and hips. “Ready to take a break, boss?”

“Gehehahahahhhahaha! Ehehehhehehe! *wheeze* Fihihihihine, fiihihihine you wihihiihihn!” Maxie cried, gasping for air as the fingers tickling him came to a halt. He leaned on his knees, gasping for air as his admins shuffled about, coming to stand a safe distance away. “Yohohohu two…”

“Eep, sorry boss-”

“Whehere’s this cafe? I wouldn’t mind an eclair.” Maxie’s question left them shocked, eyes wide as they shared a look. Then Courtney was leading the way, raving about the treats as the three of them began the walk over.

Maybe a break wouldn’t be so bad afterall.

Send me a headcanon and I'll write a dabble for it!

Finally, a place where my chaos is WELCOMED! PREPARE FOR

BULLSHIT

OF THE HIGHEST FUCKING DEGREE.

[salparadiselost]

Every couple years or so, the Bats are required to take a group photo to update the JL website (idk why, they are required to take a vigilante group picture), and Jason consistently refuses to show up. So this year, Tim just draws the lines of the Red Hood helmet on a bright red balloon and then floats it between him and Nightwing. They absolutely refuse to acknowledge that it isn't Jason. They put it up on a billboard instead.

Jason finds out about it when he drives back into Gotham and the highway going into the city has a 'Keeping Gotham Safe' billboard and it's a picture of the Bats looking extremely serious with the Red Hood Balloon floating behind them.

Book 2 au: sparring sessions and short hair katara

They like to have sparring sessions in order to keep their bending skills sharp. They allow themselves to go all out and not hold back at all cause they know if anyone got hurt, Katara could just heal them

But anyways, wouldn't it be kinda funny if Zuko accidentally burned Katara's hair tho? Aofkqldkkajfjd

The "I think we can save the hairloops" line is from @linnoya-writes thank you for that!! :>>

HOO BOY. I hope that's all of it, if not lemme know and I'll add stuff.

Lucifer

He has intense dom vibes and he knows it. He will be strict and harsh with you if that’s what you want, but if left to his own choices, Lucifer becomes a pleasure dom. All he really wants is to make you come over and over and over again. He doesn’t care what it takes, he’ll use his cock, his fingers, his tongue, anything and everything as long as it makes you cry out his name in ecstasy. He likes the way it makes his pride swell.

He’s a strong and powerful demon. If he wants you in a certain position, he will put you there himself. He has no problem manhandling you a little, but he’ll be careful about it. He very much enjoys tying you up and he’s a master at shibari. His other favorite thing is blindfolding you. He likes when you aren’t aware of when he’s going to touch you.

Lucifer is absolutely the type of demon that will do subtle things outside of the bedroom to make you crazy. A hand on the back of your neck, a brief squeezing of your arm, a whispered “behave” or even just a look that says everything. They’re all warnings - be careful, MC, or he’ll be dealing with you later in private.

He likes to be called sir, but he’s willing to discuss other options. He’s very bossy, though, and will give you orders constantly. If you’re good and compliant, he’ll reward you to the point where you’ll probably forget your own name. But if you’re a brat, he won’t hesitate to punish you. He likes to make you wait, so he might tie you up in his office and then not touch you while he works on his stacks of paperwork. He wants to see how long it takes you to start begging.

And begging does him in every time. Because the minute you break down and beg for him, his pride takes over. He’ll smirk and likely tease you and say something about how he’s not surprised that it didn’t take long.

But in the end, Lucifer likes to make you moan and cry and come, which means he’ll do whatever it takes to get you to do that. Do you have a praise kink? He will shower you with it while he’s deep inside you. Do you have a degradation kink? He will make a point of finding the words that make you clench around him in pleasure.

Mammon

Surprisingly good at being a dom, but far less restrained than Lucifer is. He’s going to do all kinds of things to get a reaction out of you, but the second you moan his name, he’s moaning right along with you. But not before he takes the time to get your full consent and makes sure you know all your safe words. He wants to go all out, but he wants you to feel safe with him.

Mammon is a bit too impatient to do things like tying you up intricately. He’s going to go for things like handcuffs or gags. He finds he likes the way you moan low in your throat when your mouth is otherwise occupied. Similarly, he loves when you suck on his fingers. He’ll remove them sooner than he expected, though, because he wants to listen to you beg.

He’s cautious at first, giving you easy orders to test the waters. If you’re generally obedient, he’ll push a little harder, go a little further, see just how much you can take. He will absolutely become a brat tamer, though, so if you’re more inclined to mouth off, you can expect swift punishment. He can’t take too much disobedience and he’ll get impatient with you quickly. Punishments can range from spankings to orgasm denial depending on how irritated he is. But they don’t last long because he just really wants to fuck you silly.

He’s constantly buying you things to wear. He obviously has a preference for gold, but whatever he just likes to see you on display in something nice. If you’ll wear a collar, he will absolutely be thrilled to buy you the nicest one he can find. It makes him a little crazy any time he catches a glimpse of it outside the bedroom.

The King of After Care. When things are calm again, he gets very clingy. He’s going to want to cuddle you all night, whispering in your ear about how good you were for him, asking you if you’re doing all right. If you endured punishment or any kind of pain, he’ll make sure you’re recovering from it. He just loves you so much, MC.

Leviathan

Surprises both you and himself by being a really good dom. It’s like he flips a switch and suddenly he’s all confidence, but it’s only possible with you. However, it can also get really intense really fast and he might not realize how far he’s going. Communication is key with Levi. You need it to even get him to start being more dominant to begin with, but then you also need it when he’s a little lost in the sauce.

Because he finds that dominating you makes him lose his whole mind. When you’re whimpering or begging, he just wants more and more. He loves to hear you whine his name. He likes it when you cry, so he will try to make it happen. He’ll use pain or insults or anything else he can find that will work. But if it does happen, he’ll get soft when he sees the tears on your cheeks. Then he’ll start praising you and telling you how perfect you are and how much he loves you.

He likes to use his tail for all kinds of things. He’ll wrap it around your body, pinning your arms to your sides, and put the tip of it in your mouth until you’re drooling around it. He’ll use it to spank you if he thinks you’re in need of punishment. But his favorite thing is just to fuck you with it.

To nobody’s surprise at all, Levi is a jealous dom. If you so much as look at someone else, he will notice and make you pay for it later. His favorite punishment method is orgasm denial. He’s trying to make you forget about anyone but him and he’ll ask you while he’s edging you who you’re thinking of. He wants to hear you cry and tell him that he’s the only one you ever think about.

Levi will definitely start out with degradation and some dirty talk - he’s likely going to tell you how much of a whore you are for him - but by the end of things, he’ll switch to praise. He starts to come out of dom mode and then he actually feels bad. Depending on how you react, he will likely apologize before pampering you to make up for all the nasty things he said. If you laugh at him about it, he’ll just blush. He gets embarrassed about how much he can lose himself. Don’t hold it against him, MC! He’s just obsessed with you.

Satan

By far the most balanced dom of all the brothers. He’s always so careful about keeping his wrath under control, the very last thing he would ever want to do is give in to it during a scene with you. It’s a tricky balance, but he manages to find a good middle ground. He focuses on you the most, but don’t think that means he’ll be lenient with you.

Satan is really good at interpreting how you’re feeling in the moment based on how you react to him. He’s able to tell when he should get more intense and when he should back off. As for himself, he prefers to control you with words. He’ll tie you up if you want him to, but he’s more interested in simply telling you what to do. And he’s clear about what will happen if you disobey.

Although he’s careful about keeping himself level headed when he’s punishing you, just know that he won’t hold back. There really isn’t any kind of punishment he isn’t willing to employ and he’ll find the one that has the most impact on you while still getting his message across.

Definitely prefers praise over degradation. He will be rambling the whole time he’s doing anything with you and it’s all romantic poetry. It starts out really flowery, but eventually kind of devolves into how perfect you are, how good you feel, etc. This is the guy who will spank you and recite sonnets to you at the same time, probably timing his swats with the iambic pentameter.

Satan also really enjoys cockwarming. He’ll have you sit in his lap while he reads, just to see how much you can take. Scolds you gently any time you move too much. Be good and hold still for him, MC. In the end, he’s the one who can’t take it, but he frames it as taking pity on you. You’re both probably aware of the truth, but neither of you will say anything. And anyway, you’re content to let him bend you over and pound into you if it means finally feeling that sweet relief.

Asmodeus

The most versatile of doms, he can be anything you want. You want him strict? Done. You prefer a soft dom? Easy. You just want him to make you come as many times as possible? It would be his pleasure.

If you’re too shy to tell him what you want, that’s okay, too. He’s able to feel out what will make you react the most. And that’s what he goes for. He just wants to experience you losing your mind over him.

He really can do it all, but he’s also going to bring his own flare to the situation. You have sooo much mirror sex. If you’re willing to try exhibitionism, he will really push the limits of that, too.

Asmo will also have a lot of toys, accessories, and clothing items. He’s always suggesting something new and interesting. You just won't believe what he found, MC! He likes to explore with you, to see what you’ll tolerate. This also includes things like aphrodisiacs or magic related things. He’ll always take care of you after you use something like that, but he’s often finding new things to try.

If you don’t really give him any guidelines and let him run the show entirely, he will step up to the challenge. It turns out he really enjoys making you submit to him. He finds he has a fascination with your blood. He loves the way it looks against your skin. He also loves to see it on his own lips, so you can be sure he’ll be drawing it by biting you.

Asmo really loves to tie you up and have his way with you. He enjoys sensory deprivation - blindfold, gag, etc. - he likes to keep you guessing. He wants you to react to his touch the most, loves the way you shiver in anticipation of what he’ll do next.

Mixes pleasure and pain so effectively, you almost can’t tell which one you’re experiencing. He’ll be using his fingers masterfully on your sensitive spots at the same time that he’ll be digging his nails into your back.

This is his area of expertise, so there’s no way he’s going to let you go with only one orgasm. He’s going to make sure you have multiple before he's done with you. He loves overstimulation. If you start crying, he’ll coo at you and wipe your tears, but he won’t stop.

Always doms in demon form. He can’t help it, he’s fully embodying his sin. No matter what he’s doing with you, he wants you to remember that you’re being dominated by the Avatar of Lust.

Beelzebub

The softest of soft doms. He’s not really into degradation, so he’s going to shower you with praise instead. He’s just going to mumble into your skin about how amazing you are and how lucky he is and so on and so forth. But don’t think that makes him a pushover.

Beel is a big strong demon and he will manhandle you. Probably his favorite thing is to just sit you in his lap and move you himself. You’re riding him, but he’s doing all the work.

He’ll tie you up if you want him to, but he’s more likely to use things like blindfolds or gags. Only one at a time, he doesn’t want you completely helpless. He secretly likes it when you struggle against him, so he likes to keep your hands free.

Beel has a bit of a size kink where he likes his partners smaller than him, which works out because he’s just generally much larger than most people. Even if you’re larger for a human, that’s still just a lil cutie to him. This kinda ties into the manhandling thing - he likes to pick you up and move you around himself. And he can do it, too, because of his size and strength. You might as well get used to it at this point.

He doesn't really enjoy inflicting pain. He's far more likely to use positive reinforcement than punishments. But if he has to get serious with you, it's going to be stuff like edging, orgasm denial, or overstimulation. If you're crying it's because of how he's making you feel, not because he's hurting you or insulting you. He finds it's just as effective, too.

If you ask, Beel will do pretty much anything you want. He'll work through the discomfort of hurting you if you enjoy it.

As always, Beel loves food. He'll involve any kind of food play he possibly can because he really can't help himself. It's like the ultimate expression of his sin - to involve food in these intimate moments with you.

Another one who will be incredibly attentive during after care. He wants to make sure you're okay. He will stay beside you as long as you need him. Probably brings you drinks and snacks, too. He's already been praising you all night, but prepare yourself for even more. You are everything to him, MC.

Belphegor

Kinda lazy for a dom, to nobody’s great surprise. He enjoys being one, but he tires out quickly. If he can make you do all the work, he will. Expect him to give you a lot of orders.

He really loves when you beg. He wants to see you on your knees and if you beg enough, he’ll fill your mouth with his cock. You look so good, MC.

He’ll leave you tied up and unattended, too. He’ll just sit there and watch you, see how much you can handle before he does anything.

Belphie is, of course, into somnophilia. If you give him the go ahead, it’s going to be any time he wakes up with you in his arms. If you’re still sleeping soundly, he wants you to stay asleep, he’ll just take care of things himself. But if you do wake up, he'll probably whisper quietly in your ear about how he's just making all your wet dreams come true. In fact, we also know Belphie can go into dreams, so… you can expect your normal dreams to become wet dreams if he shows up.

He likes exhibitionism and semi-public sex. He likes fucking you in places where you’re right next to other people, but you’re still trying to stay hidden. So he’ll use his hand to cover your mouth, trying to muffle your noises. But it’s only because he likes the way it feels to gag you that way. He doesn’t actually mind if you’re discovered.

He likes dirty talk and degradation. He will absolutely call you all kinds of filthy names. It’s not all like that, though, he’ll also throw in some praise. Especially when you’re whimpering beneath him and he's losing control because he feels so good. That's when he starts telling you how good you are.

Belphie is kind of an after care guy by default. After he's had his way with you, even if he was really rough (which he probably was), he just wants to snuggle and cuddle and sleep. He'll also kiss you slowly and softly and lazily because he likes the way your lips feel.

Rise above SJ's childhood? Nyeah... Yoo... Like, ok, if he were to somehow follow along the same path as SJ- ie abandoned at toddler age, met a qi-ge, lost a qi-ge, became a... Slave-implied-to-be-sexually-assauted to a qiu-ish family, forced to participate in demonic arts- no, unfortunately he would not rise above anything. He'd probably die much sooner before dealing with the qiu-ish and demonic arts, though.

In that vein, if we're only focusing on origins, as in LQG is orphaned and left to the streets, I think he absolutely would've bodied being a "street rat" as he's very instinct and survival driven. He probably wouldn't have any close friends or allies, but he'd be quick to understand the rules of living on the streets and would live them to the letter. If we're assuming that every part of LQG (his strength, his reflexes, his obsession with fighting) is part of who he is, then he's probably someone younger orphans/slaves follow around for protection by proxy and older orphans/slaves (specifically, the more aggressive ones) avoid. Whilst SJ had an innate ability for spiritual cultivation, LQG has an innate ability for physical cultivation, so you're better off letting him run off with whatever he stole rather than trying to fight it back off of him. He can, and will, and has, knocked out adult men thrice his age and 4 times his size with only a few scratches on him.

I also think, mentally, he might come out in a better shape than SJ just because he doesn't quite follow the mind games that comes with SJ naturally analysing every word and action. While he'd still be traumatised, it wouldn't leave as large mental scars like SJ. He probably wouldn't grow to intensely hate/fear men. He also probably wouldn't find comfort in women by comparison. He'd probably be more wary of people who are desperate, regardless of station.

And for those who might question "ah, but LQG is righteous and just, he would never steal or fight dirty or lie", lemme remind you that the scenario is that SJ and LQG switched origins. LQG is only this way because he was raised with these noble rules and took them as Law. Take that same autistic personality and tell him the "rules" are steal or starve? Lie or die? Fight back or give up? Yeah, dude's going to go "ok ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 💥🤛🏽💫👊🏽💫🤜🏽💥!" With no hesitation. It will be Law.

The thing is though, a role swapped LQG would not be going anywhere near a cultivation sect. He'd most definitely wash his hands of society and make his way to the wilderness to survive off the land. He might emerge only during harvest season to exchange labour for some grains, vegetables, and fruits to store and eat during the winter months when there is less to forage and hunt, but otherwise he might as well be the village cryptid/hermit. He might also have the good will of the village once they realise he's the reason their town is so safe from larger predators.

I also don't think we'd have to worry about qi deviations, because orphan LQG wouldn't've been thinking about cultivating his way out of his situation. Maybe, somewhere down the line, some wandering cultivator realises that he has a strong spiritual vein and tries to entice him, but the man is living the autistic life with his nice routine of hunting, foraging, fighting some predator, and hunting some more. All with minimal human socialisation. Why would he give that up to go with some person to talk with people who don't hunt, forage, fight every day?

As a note, I purposely did not bring LMY into this because, if we're swapping roles, LQG would've been abandoned young and what are the odds that he comes across his sister with their large age gap later? I could posit a theory on her survival chances... But they would not be happy.

I could also fenangle a chance meeting au. Perhaps, by the time LMY is born, her parents are no longer struggling to make ends meet and are living rather comfortably with their youngest daughter, who absolutely catches the eye(s) of several prolific families and they're able to secure a rather beneficial arranged marriage for her with a local official's 3rd child, so she gets to be a wife and her husband is decent (only 5 years her senior, rather plain looking, but let's her indulge in her love of trashy romance novels (which he indulges in too), and is actually rather pathetic, just the way she likes her men). So here is this, now older, LMY strolling through the streets looking for something new to chase away her boredom and ah, there's a bunch of tittering, giggling women crowding an area, gasping about some man. She might be married, but there's never any harm in looking and, hey, maybe she'll be inspired for her... Erm, side projects hidden in the ceiling. Except, when she clears the crowd, she's shocked to find herself... Looking at a buffer, flat chested version of herself?? She's veiled and LQG rarely looks at himself in reflections so his eyes don't even linger on hers, but he looks exactly like her and there's no way this is a coincidence. Of course she tells her parents, after rushing back to their humble home located within her husband's estate, and what was supposed to be a sort of funny moment turns into the most heartbreaking and nauseating conversation she's ever had to have with her parents.

Is there a happy ending? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for LQG? For sure, man's still living the dream and now he has a pretty OK younger sister who shows up and can mend his torn clothes. Nice. Also his parents are alive and feel sorry they abandoned him so they compensate by getting him some proper lessons on reading and writing... Which aren't fun, especially when he starts realising what all those letters left by his house by women actually say. As for LMY, she can't quite wrap her head that her parents had never told her that she had an older sibling, let alone one who has been living (surviving) in the streets of her home this whole time. It's awkward, but, there, the siblings are united.

Realising that Shen Jiu and Liu Qingge's personalities are what people would usually assume for the other person's birth status (eg. Streetrat and Noble Born)

Like Liu Qingge is implied to be born to a noble background yet is the PeakLord at a peak where fighting is the common language, and Shen Jiu (A slave from the streets) is the PeakLord of the peak of NOBLE SCHOLARLY ARTS.

Liu Qingge is blunt, doesn't think to try and hide his intentions, and has little to no interest in politics, while Shen Jiu is calculating and scheming, always ready for any conspiracy against him or others.

Imagining Shen Jiu being born into a noble family and immediately knowing he would be like a fish to water. Liu Qingge however... 🤔 Would he be able to rise above Shen Jiu's childhood?
