Life is being a pain, I'll be back in a few days
hello!
research has been kind of shitty today/yesterday and mood wise I'm not doing the best. Need a few days to be away from everything for a bit, I'm guessing I'll be back Friday but you might see me lurking every now and then (going to try and avoid it though, think it might be better for me lol). Also to the people in the ask box, I promise I'll respond then! Same goes for promptober, refs, and ch. 35. Appreciate all the messages I've gotten with the ask game, helped brighten my day ^-^
thank you all, see you soon :)
Edit: I'm back!

Episode 22: The One with ANOTHER Other Moonlit Rooftop Scene
WE’RE ON A ROOF, GREAT START! 
THERE’S MOONLIGHT, GREAT START!
BC WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN ON MOONLIT ROOFTOPS (except for that one time that we’re not gonna talk about rn bc it’ll give me the Sads)
OUR BOYS ARE SITTING TOGETHER ON A ROOF IN QINGHE
TOGETHER!! ON A ROOF!! IN THE MOONLIGHT!!!
WE LOVE ROOFS AND MOONLIGHT IN THIS FANDOM
Wwx: does this seem familiar to you? Weren’t we chilling on a roof like this together back in the cloud recesses during Ancient Fantasy China summer school?
And lwj is like, no, we were fighting with swords and stuff
Wwx: right, right, you caught me breaking curfew!
HE LAUGHS, REMINISCING. HE LAUGHS!!
Wwx: too bad there’s no emperor’s smile
Get help wwx, problems are not solved with copious amounts of wine
Oh god, and he just slouches back on the roof, leaning on his elbows and SPREADING HIS LEGS LIKE A SCARLET WOMAN
WWX WHAT ARE YOU DOING
MAKING YOURSELF LOOK ALL ENTICING LIKE THAT
And lwj has an iron will apparently bc he’s still sitting upright in a meditation pose
Oooh, now they’re going to have a Serious conversation
Lwj: things change. How could it be the same as before?
And wwx gives him this sad little smile
Wwx: lan zhan, thank you
Lwj: for what?
Wwx: thank you for not telling shijie
And then HE SMILES AT LWJ
SINCERELY. THAT’S A SINCERE SMILE ON HIS FACE
Like, okay, it’s not as big and bright as his usual sunshine smile BUT IT’S STILL THE HAPPIEST SMILE HE’S DIRECTED AT LWJ SINCE THE BURIAL MOUNDS
Ofc lwj goes and ruins the mood (why does he keep doing this)
Lwj: these tricks harm your body and mind as well
Wwx: i know, but i’m not using wicked tricks, i learned CRAFTY tricks
Lwj: crafty tricks?
Lwj’s tone changes here! It has a hopeful edge to it rather than the solemn note it carried before. THINGS ARE LOOKING UP, GUYS
Wwx: that’s what i learned in that sunless dingy place for three months
ah, guess i spoke too soon...wwx gets this faraway look on his face like he’s back in that awful place anD IT MAKES ME SO SAD
Wwx: anyway, i have to thank you for Lan clan’s Temperament Technique bc my crafty tricks require
HE USED LAN CLAN TEACHINGS TO DEVELOP HIS NEW CULTIVATION
LAN CLAN!!
LAN!!!!
EVEN AT HIS LOWEST, HE STILL CLUNG TO LAN WANGJI. LAN WANGJI STILL WAS ABLE TO HELP HIM EVEN THO HE WASN’T THERE
AHHHHHHHHH
And lwj is just watching him here, yearningly like always
Wwx: with my bamboo flute, everything can be controlled~! *twirls the demon flute*
But lwj is not gonna be distracted by his fancy flute twirling here
Lwj: do crafty tricks rely on the spirit?
Wwx nods in response
~Their Song~ starts playing in the background (the flute version of it, even!!)
Lwj: mastering it by mind is like taking a grain of rice from a fire. If not done carefully you risk falling into demonic cultivation. The consequences will be unimaginable
Okay, 1) pretty sure that’s the longest string of sentences lwj has made in the entire show so far, so kudos to you lwj. You used your words!! I’m so proud!!
And 2) THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE UNIMAGINABLE?? LWJ DOES NOT WANT TO IMAGINE THOSE CONSEQUENCES FOR WEI YING. HE DOESN’T WANT TO THINK OF HIM SUFFERING THAT WAY. BC HE LOVES HIM
Wwx: i know. Lan zhan, i understand your concern.
OUR BOYS OUR COMMUNICATING. 
LOOK AT THEM!! 
COMMUNICATING ALL OVER EACH OTHER!!!! 
THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER
And here wwx does HIS LITTLE SCOUT’S HONOR THING AND HIS VOICE PICKS UP A CHIPPER TONE AND IT’S SO CUTE AND SO REMINISCENT OF BEFORE
Wwx: i, wei ying, promise you that i will never degenerate into demonic cultivation
STOP MAKING PROMISES YOU WON’T KEEP WWX
Wwx: do you believe me?
Lwj nods
AND OH, THE SMILE WWX HAS IN RESPONSE
IT’S ALMOST LIKE BEFORE
ALL OF THIS IS ALMOST LIKE BEFORE
Now wwx does a little floaty jump thing off of the roof (it doesn’t look ridiculous for once!! It actually looks pretty neat here!!) and starts to walk away
Lwj elegantly stands up (still on the roof!!) and says “Let me help you.”
Wwx freezes in his steps for a moment, not quite turning back, and says “okay.”
He says that AND HE SMILES AGAIN
Lwj is left standing alone on the roof
ALL THIS AND WE’RE ONLY 5MIN INTO THE EPISODE
MY HEART, MY HEART
GOD I MISSED MY WANGXIANTICS.
IT’S BEEN SO LONG, MY LOVE, I’VE MISSED YOU SO!!
Oh, and now it’s daytime
Plot Things are happening
Nmj is giving a rousing speech to the troops, very imposing, very stern, very soldier-y
AND TOTALLY DOES NOT MATTER SO WE’RE MOVING ON
Everyone’s leaving Qinghe for plot reasons. Jc and jzx go ahead on their swords but lwj and wwx are traveling by horse
They’re on horses!! Idk why that makes me happy but it does!! I don’t even like horses that much??? 
Wwx is twirling his flute!!
Lwj: why didn’t you go ahead with them?
Wwx: i don’t want to join in the fun with jc and that colorful peacock
Lwj: aren’t you the one who prefers to join in the fun?
GUYS, GUYS LWJ SAYS THIS WITH A TEASING TONE (well, teasing for him; it’s a very subtle change BUT IT’S THERE, I SWEAR!!)
HE’S TRYING TO BE PLAYFUL WITH WWX!! IT’S SO CUTE!!
OMG, OMG we get a brief moment of Jealous!LWJ. Courtesy of NHS, of course.
Nhs is at the top of a tower in qinghe waving goodbye, right? (he’s adorable, i love him)
BUT HE CALLS SPECIFICALLY TO WWX
Nhs: wwx, wwx, take care!
and lwj lets his eyes drift a little towards the voice but HE DOESN’T EVEN DEIGN TO LOOK AT NHS DIRECTLY before his eyes flicker to face forward
it’s such a disdainful little movement; IT HAPPENS SO FAST
BUT THE JEALOUSY IS SO POTENT HERE, OMG OMG
chill out lwj, nhs is just a friend!!
Ugh, evil wen lair time
WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PLOT DEVICE OR WEN RUOHAN
Oh, now we’re in the middle of a battlefield but no lwj or wwx in sight, how boring
Battle battle battle
Fight fight fighting
Ooooh demon transformation. That was interesting for like, two seconds
Gotta say, the makeup/costuming they use for those demon things actually looks pretty decent, all things considered
Actually, most of their group fight scenes are pretty good
UGH MORE EVIL WEN LAIR TIME?? Plot plot Meng Yao is revealed to be a wen flunkie suddenly plot plot 
Back with the good guys now! At soldier camp!! (or whatever those are called, listen, i’m not a war general, terms escape me)
Plot plot nmj, jzx, jc are inspecting puppets blah blah don’t care don’t care
OH WAIT, LWJ AND WWX SHOWED UP
THEY LOOK VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PUPPETS. I SUDDENLY CARE ABOUT THE PUPPETS
Nvm, we’re back at a boring strategy meeting blegh
Blah blah invinceable puppets blah blah kill wen ruohan blah blah
Nmj: I WILL SNEAK INTO NIGHTLESS CITY AND KILL WEN RUOHAN
I’m sorry nmj but you don’t have a sneaky bone in your entire body
That is a terrible plan. Jzx agrees with me.
Nmj: if i die, lxc can just take charge nbd
Suddenly lxc shows up with a Sneaky Map
Everybody’s excited about the Sneaky Map
I AM NOT
I AM NOT EXCITED ABOUT THE SNEAKY MAP
THIS IS BORING
LET’S MOVE ON NOW PLZ
Ah, we’re back with wwx and lwj who are inspecting the Suddenly Interesting Puppets
They’re being all clever together!! I love it
OH NO, SOME RANDO JUST INTERRUPTED SAYING JYL NEEDS HELP
WWX TAKES OFF IN A FLASH, OBVS
We’re at jzx’s tent!! WHERE JZX MADE HER CRY
I DEMAND BLOOD IN RECOMPENSE
Wwx: what happened? Don’t cry!
Wwx: was there someone who bullied you??
Omg his words are like, dripping with venom as he says this and turns to glare at jzx
POOR JYL IS SOBBING, OUTRIGHT SOBBING
Jyl: i’m fine! Let’s go, come on, come on
SHE SAYS THIS THROUGH HER TEARS. SHE’S HEARTBROKEN
I DEMAND BLOODSHED
Mianmian shows up to explain the situation
Details don’t matter
What matters is that we see Lwj about to join them in the tent
Like, he’s one step in and everything
But once mianmian starts talking, he steps back out? And just loiters in front of their tent thing?
HE DOESN’T WANT TO INTRUDE ON A FAMILY MATTER
BC LAST TIME HE DID, WWX SNAPPED AT HIM AND PUSHED HIM AWAY
AND THAT SHIT HURTED
WE DON’T WANT THAT AGAIN
We find out that jzx was a total utter DOUCHEBAG to jyl and HUMILIATED her in public BECAUSE HE’S A DICK AND DOESN’T DESERVE HER
YOU’RE LUCKY I’M NOT THERE RN JZX BC I’M READY TO MURDER
Oh look, wwx is ready to murder too
he punches jzx right in the chest AND SENDS HIM FLYING, HELL YEAH
then uses his demon flute TO SMACK DOWN THE JIN DISCIPLES with resentful energy
then goes and DECKS JZX RIGHT IN THE FACE
YESSS!!!!!!
HIT HIM HARDER WWX
But nooo, mianmian and jyl have to be decent people and try to hold wwx back
Lwj hears them cry out and rushes into the room!!
He grabs wwx’s arm, which was already poised for another punch
Lwj: wei ying, calm down
DON’T TELL HIM TO CALM DOWN LWJ
JZX DESERVES WHAT’S COMING TO HIM
DON’T YOU SEE YOUR SISTER IN LAW CRYING???
But it seems that lwj’s words cut through wwx’s rage (even tho he didn’t raise his voice at all!!) bc wwx lets his arm be lowered by lwj’s grip
He looks at lwj’s concerned face and turns to walk out of the tent
We cut to some Sect Leader Time featuring NMJ and LXC
Nmj: soooo, how’d you get the Sneaky Map
Lxc: ...I know a guy
Then they go on for awhile and i get the impression that they’re trying to Flirt but are doing it Badly
HA, losers! (they say, even tho their OTP consistently fails to communicate their Emotions well)
We’re on a battlefield again!
Kinda sucks how our guys get possessed and turned against us.
What a bummer
MORE BORING PLOT STUFF
Blah blah, nmj disappeared, blah blah our guys are forced into a trap blah blah
Oh wait, there’s a bit here
Wwx asks lxc who gave him the Sneaky Map and lxc is all “a good friend” and wwx is like oh okay and walks off
As he walks away, lwj turns to ~gaze longingly~ at him
It was kinda weird, bc contextually it doesn’t make sense for there to be a longing gaze here
BUT WHO CARES!
SINCE WHEN DO WE NEED A REASON FOR GAY YEARNING??
IT JUST IS, MY FRIENDS, AND WE LOVE IT
More evil wen lair time (at some point we watch nmj be a badass at this lair, but we’re not here for him. Sorry nmj, still love ya tho!)
MoVInG alONg
Battlefield has moved to the Nightless City
For real for real, these group battle scenes are pretty cool. I like them.
AHHHH!! AHHHHHHH!!! WWX NEARLY GETS A SWORD TO THE THROAT
BUT LWJ NOTICES IT AND IS BLOCKING THE HIT IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
THE WAY IT’S FRAMED MAKES IT LOOK EVEN MORE AWESOME!!
Bc he just swooshes into the frame from the right, all fluid movement and elegance
BLOCKS THE HIT LIKE NOTHING
And ends up on the opposite side of the frame, not even looking at the baddie he just blocked; he’s all straight-backed and regal
I am Shocked wwx didn’t swoon right there and then
WWX AND LWJ ARE NOW BACK TO BACK
FIGHTING TOGETHER
I AM IN LOVE
Ugh, we’re back at the evil wen lair
Gross
Can we not? Nobody cares.
BACK ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!
Everything stops suddenly, and lwj and wwx are side by side
Bc ofc they are
They’re soulmates!!
Uh oh, some of their guys get Literally pulverized
Aaaaand, here come the massive amounts of puppets
Wen ruohan - creator of the world’s worst puppet show
Omg, we just keep getting shots of lwj and wwx standing next to each other, or standing back to back
They’re not even doing anything AND IT’S STILL AMAZING TO WATCH
UGH, JUST HAVING THEM BE NEAR EACH OTHER ON SCREEN MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Wwx: lan zhan, what method can we take now to escape?
Lwj: Fight.
Wwx: *smirk*
GOD I LOVE MY BOYS
And the cameras give us close-up shots of their faces in that exchange and it’s amazing
THE EXPRESSIONS, MAN
GRIM DETERMINATION
LIKE, WE’RE PROBABLY DEAD, MIGHT AS WELL GO DOWN FIGHTING
THAT’S WHAT THEIR FACES SAY
I! LOVE!! MY!!! BOYS!!!!
They just look so awesome fighting here!!
Lol wwx is just whacking people with his flute
Very intimidating, wwx, very scary
One of the demon things just tried attacking wwx aND GOT BICHEN THROUGH THE CHEST FOR THEIR TROUBLES
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET, DEMON THING!!
And then lwj goes and blocks another blow meant for wwx
Lwj is so awesome in battle??
I feel like shang from mulan trying to compliment lwj
“YOU...YOU FIGHT GOOD”
i mean, come on, he literally just now took out a demon thing with a BLAST from bichen
BICHEN DIDN’T EVEN TOUCH IT? 
AND THE DEMON THING WAS COMING FROM BEHIND HIM??
HE DIDN’T EVEN TURN AROUND TO LOOK!!
HE JUST HAD BICHEN BLAST SOME SPIRITUAL ENERGY BEHIND HIM TO KNOCK OUT THE DEMON THING
WHAT A BAMF
Uh oh
Wwx just did his floaty jump thing and perched on a winged creature statue overlooking the battlefield
Lwj has his eyes on him
He’s watching him all worriedly
WWX STARTS TO PLAY HIS DEMON FLUTE
listen
listen
i know the demon flute and resentful energy is bad for you or whatever
BUT HE LOOKS SO DAMN COOL HERE
ENSHROUDED IN BLACK SMOKE
HIS FACE A PICTURE OF CONCENTRATION
Meanwhile lwj is cutting down enemies left and right AND STILL MAKING TIME TO THROW WORRIED LOOKS AT WWX
WAIT A MINUTE, wwx has just TAKEN CONTROL of the demon things
Bc he’s BADASS
And the music gets INTENSE here
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!
LWJ still looks so concerned even tho the demon things start fighting for them rather than against them
Bc he doesn’t care about the demon things or the battle
He cares about how this will affect his wei ying!!
And the episode ends with wen ruohan throwing a hissy fit bc his demon things aren’t under his control anymore
WE DID IT GUYS, WE FINALLY MADE IT TO AN EPISODE WITH QUALITY NOT-COMPLETELY-HEARTBREAKING WANGXIANTICS
OUR BOYS WERE NICE TO EACH OTHER!!!
ON A MOONLIT ROOFTOP!!!
AND THEY FOUGHT SIDE BY SIDE!!
IT WAS ALL SO BEAUTIFUL

hey i’m looking to get into a role play but i’ve never done it before so do you have any recommendations on how to start, how to roleplay, etc??
aw man, uhhh… well, I got some wc ones! Land of the Lost is currently accepting, a new reboot of Clans of the Shoshone, Falling Leaves (for Pack and Clan), and Left in Lesdin’s gonna be opening soon! 
for how to start, I def recommend creating a character you want to rp - you want one that you can connect to, and can rp often. I’ve created characters on a whim multiple times before, which… wasn’t great bc I ended up abandoning them basically which was just a mess dfjhfdh
start with a design, name, and a base personality, but give yourself room for them to grow!! if you have any ideas in mind with them, definitely talk to a mod if you’re in a group rp, like the ones I listed. you can talk to others to set up relationships, or just rp and build them from there! you can be vague with family and bg, or go all out! tho it def depends on what the rp has going on, bc you may want to add bg events to their bio o: also there’s normally a bio format posted with each rp, so you don’t need to worry about setting one up!
also, bc apps are through google docs, I highly recommend saving any oc info you make bc I keep forgetting to do that and I immediately forget what I wrote dsfhjfdsh
with rping in general, it’s gonna depend on the rp! usually the ones I’m in are more literate, which asks for at least a paragraph reply, but it’s not always the case! also, you don’t have to be a writer to rp! it may be awkward at first, but it definitely gets easier as you rp more and more - I’ll give an example at the end!
oh! I can’t believe I forgot this, but reading the rules is highly important! please read them and make sure you follow them 
hmmmm…. I’m not sure what else to add for it?? I feel like I’m not answering your questions hhhh - I’m bad at explaining stuff rip
outside of discord, I have no idea ahah - I know there are a lot of forum rps out there, and it’s been a few years since I’ve used the forums on fanfiction net so idk if those are even still active ahah
tumblr rp has changed a lot - before, all you had to do was set up a blog (side or main - I prefer main bc it’s easier to follow other rp blogs and get recognized), and either rp as a canon character or an oc! ofc they don’t need to be a fandom oc, they can just be an og one!
but for tumblr rp, you def gotta think of a solid character bg if an oc (fandom or not) bc it’s easier for everyone when other muns can look and see who your character is. I def recommend setting up a rule page, so that way you can explain what stuff you want to avoid (for me was nsfw stuff mostly), or stuff you’re fine with (a lot of people would mention age ranges they were comfortable with when it came to other muns - like there were a few rp blogs that would only interact with people 18+ or 21+, which was a good thing tbh)
it’s def been a hot minute since I’ve rped on here, but when you make an oc to rp, this is where it gets hella important to make sure you can connect with them - I ended up ditching a lot of blogs bc I lost muse, and it’s a bummer tbh, but it does happen. also idk if rping is still active here or not? bc last I check the marvel rp tag it was just. ads for group rps and idk if they’re tumblr based anymore
anyway, tumblr rping is def gonna be harder! just bc it’s hard to get off the ground at the beginning, and it’s just… idk, weird? some people won’t respond to you and things get lost and it can become a mess, but at the same time, it can be a lot of fun! it just really depends on how you handle stuff and how active you are really
I’m def just spit-balling at this point, ahah - sorry about that! I’m trying to explain stuff but, again, I’m horrible at that dfjhfdhj
I’ll definitely try to clear stuff up for you tho!! just lmk with whatever questions you have o:
also here’s an rp example of mine!! tho, I did change  some stuff to keep clan specific secrets still secret for a certain rp!
The pale queen had arrived shortly after Aspenstar and Jaggedstripe settled Badgerwing’s body down in the flowers. She would’ve been with them, matching their steps stride by stride, but she had to check on her kits before she left. She had seen how frightened they were with the thunder alone, and she couldn’t imagine the confusion the little ones must’ve felt when their Clanmates began to panic at the death before Aspenstar soothed them. They were far too young to understand death, and she could only pray that it wouldn’t affect them. And despite how collected she had seemed back in camp, it was clear the deputy’s death had was not taken lightly - her steps were slow, her eyes misted with grief.
 A shaky breath escaped her jaws as Mistfang slowed to a stop beside her gathered Clanmates, the air thick with grief and tension. Finchpaw spoke, then Grasspelt. Jaggedstripe stepped toward Badgerwing next, but it was clear she was in too much pain to speak. But… as she gazed around at the others, her throat tightened with grief. Was no one else going to speak? Bluestone remained silent. Hootnose was silent as well, his gaze averted, and it was clear he wished to be anywhere but there. She just hoped their silence wasn’t from hostility - from them still holding a grudge for her leaving them for so long.
With a shake of her head, the molly slowly stepped forward, leaning down to rasp her tongue over Badgerwing’s head. “You were larger than life,” she said at last, her voice soft as ever. “You helped us each in your own way, and I feel my words can never be enough to explain my gratitude. You saved my life, and helped me with my kits. I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done. I hope you find comfort in StarClan, and I wish you all the best.”
It was shorter than she would’ve liked, but Mistfang hadn’t been close to Badgerwing - not as much as she would’ve liked. But regrets were useless, and she knew the dangers of getting lost in the what-ifs. As long as the deputy was safe in StarClan, free of any pain and of any troubles, then she knew it would be okay. It had to be. 
Slowly, Mistfang took a few steps back, head bowed as she sat down.
