Lang Bailing and Qiu Shenji.

What can I say? Love these two. Despite all the dubious things.

I am finally done with this! Got stuck on the sketch for a while.

[incorrectwhitecatlegend]

[minsarasarahair]

Lang Bailing sending off General Qiu Shenji.

[danelloevee]

Finished white cat legend so here’s a really quick redraw because I am in misery

[miyamiwu]

Same, Lang Bailing, same… I’d fall in love too if such a hot guy came to save me

[madmarchhare]

Yi Zhuha is happy about learning about the medicine, but quickly becomes upset when Chen Shi says that the medicine comes from a passing monk, accusing Chen Shi of lying. After assuring the Roman that he was telling the truth Yi lets him go, saying he's lucky that he's not hungry. Chen Shi asks about his brother, Yi saying he met him in Long Yang ages ago but not giving Chen Shi his name. He then takes the leg of lamb and leaves Chen Shi. The General then finds Chen Shi later, and asks if he is ok. Chen Shi assures them that he is, though still likely upset. Both about his brother and Yi Zhuha taking the flask with medicine in.

[muninnhuginn]

Gah, the way the characters in white cat legend think that pushing those they love away will protect them. Qiu Qingzhi with Li Bing. Li Bing with Chen Shi and the rest. Alibaba with Vice President Shangguan. "It's for your own good" they say and they truly believe it. Even Chen Jiu with Chen Shi ("don't come to Shendu").

The way that the only way to break this cycle was for those being pushed away to push back. How, when even Chen Shi (the most openly caring of all the characters) had given up, his previous actions meant that Wang Qi and co. were still willing to keep trying. They were the four who had been deliberately coasting along prior to the start of the series, doing only enough in their jobs to not entirely lose their paychecks (and not even doing a particularly good job at that). And yet, because of the impact Li Bing and Chen Shi had had on them, *they're* the ones to say "stop pushing us away" and go out of their way to bridge the gap to Li Bing. Li Bing, who time and again, pushed others away, certain he had to keep others out of danger, and yet also terrified of what letting people close would do to *him* if they discovered him as he "truly" was.

It wasn't too late for Li Bing. He had people in his corner willing to push past his attempts to keep them out and he was (eventually) able to accept them. Accept that they accepted him.

Not everyone is so lucky.

[thatringboy]

Your new tgcf fic… Xie Lian getting reversed isekaied into a modern world… pls tell me he makes it home okay

It’ll take a bit but yeah he’ll make it home just fine, but you’re never gonna guess who’s gonna be the one to begrudgingly save him lmao

she definitely practices some witchcraft, and leads a cult of hecate. she gets away with it by being the prince's bethrothed and therefore above reproach by anyone but the queen. she has no memory of modern dc, this has been her life for years now

asmodeus (2/3) klaus hargreeves, loona

a lord of a neighboring kingdom, ozzie is aware that things aren't right, but he really doesn't care all that much. everyone seems to be unhurt, and enjoying themselves for the most part, so he's going along with it

shi wudu (1/3) he xuan

he remembers the change, and is okay with it, because this is far more his speed. he likes being worshipped as a god, and these are the people who would worship a god. someone start a cult about him it'd be funny

Turnabout Ablaze Screenshot Dump!!!

I'm going to try not to put any screenshots that I've posted already but that's not guaranteed

Ah yes, this is TOTALLY not an excuse to nerd out on Steel Samurai tapes! He's just VERY THROUGH GUYS!!!

and here you can hear Edgeworth's heart shattering in real time

SIBLINGS!!!!

Edgeworth, you don't have to say it that plainly...

Edgey did you cry during the play!? Did you have to bring out your handkerchief?!

Edgeworth hating on a girly with a successful acting career...

Oldbag please respect his boundaries. He may be touch-staved but he's also touch adverse to like almost everyone... (except maybe that man)

I'm going to be honest and say that I didn't really end up liking Lang that much for whatever reason but.... I agree with this... I love that he did this. Thank you for petting the dog for me Lang.

More praise for the dog! The highlight of the chapter!

Larry that is NOT the achievement that you think it is!

Thank you, Franziska for whipping him for this. Larry, NEVER say the words "sexy beam" again!!!

What are childhood friends for if not to call you a blight on humanity while bailing you out of trouble!

He was sooooooooo mad that Larry played the Steel Samurai. I bet he would have reacted better if it was a certain bluffing attorney...

HELP-- THE WAY I LAUGHED WHEN THIS HAPPENED!!!

I can't believe that Larry redefined a phrase with the word fool for Franziska...

Are we sure these two are grown-ass men??? Because they're acting like children right now!!!

I love them <3

[incorrectwhitecatlegend]

[minsarasarahair]

Qiu Shenji: General Lang, the royal guards operate as usual. Just tighten up the security checks inside the city. Lang Bailing: Yes, sir. Understood. Qiu Shenji: I knew it. You’re the most reliable.

[universitypenguin]

Hey Alice! I’m curious as to what transpired in the hospital after princess’s attack. Was Lloyd being a doting bf or was he giving her the silent treatment even then 🙊 as always thank you for writing this series whenever I see an update my heart soars!! You’re so talented in bringing these characters to life ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the lovely message! Unfortunately, Lloyd was anything but a doting boyfriend at the hospital… actually, his temper was running a bit hot during that scene… 😬😢🙈

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Word Count: 762

Warnings: Lloyd being pissed off, discussion to stalking, references to a knife fight and main character being hospitalized

After Jake’s revelation that Aiden couldn’t be your stalker, Lloyd didn’t stick around.

He didn’t trust himself to be there when you woke up. Instead, he told Jake to go sit with you so that someone would be there when you woke up, and went home to study the crime scene. He met Detective Diskant and walked him through the scene, giving the investigator his statement about what happened. When that was taken care of, he went to the spot where the suspect had been captured by the surveillance camera and verified Jake’s measurements to confirm the height of the attacker. He stopped by and spoke with Mrs. Lange about the video footage, then asked her to keep an eye on his place for a while.

Lloyd went home and packed his things, collected your stuff, and loaded everything into his Mercedes. Then, he drove to your apartment, packed you some fresh clothes and threw the entire contents of your medicine cabinet into a bag. Before he left he went by to check on Mrs. Thompson, and she was the one who told him about the video camera that had been monitoring your front door.

Thanks to that disturbing revelation, his temper was boiling when he returned to the hospital. Zach met him in the parking garage and told him you’d woken up and that Aiden was out on bail. Lloyd informed him that he was taking you to the cabin, where you’d be more secure. When questioned about whether that was what you wanted, he told Zach to fuck off.

When he came to collect you from the ER holding area, the reception you got from him was anything but warm. He barely said a word to you and remained focused on getting you discharged, collecting the paperwork for your follow up visit, and signing the rest of the discharge forms. It wasn’t until you were in the car that you managed to get a chance to speak.

“Lloyd?”

The atmosphere in the vehicle was buzzing with tension as the late afternoon sun cast shadows across his face. He didn’t take his eyes off the road or so much as incline his head to acknowledge he’d heard you. The dark scowl was etched into his features and his posture was rigid.

“Lloyd, please. We need to talk.”

His jaw clenched. “Why? Why now? There was plenty of time to talk before, but you didn’t say a word. Not to me, at least.”

“I know. I didn’t tell you what was happening, and I shouldn’t have done that. But there were so many other things going on, from Singapore to Qatar and then… your father. I didn’t want to add to your problems, and I thought I had everything under control.”

His lips twisted as if he’d tasted something bitter.

“You kept this from me, Princess. I thought we were honest with each other, but clearly, that was just my own view of how our relationship worked.”

“Lloyd, I didn’t-”

He cut you off. “You lied. It was a lie of omission, so maybe you think that makes it better, but guess what? It’s worse. Lies of omission are the most effective kind of deception. Trust me, I’ve lied and bent the truth enough times in my life to know exactly what makes a good lie.”

“I’m sorry. I was scared of what you might do and I wanted to protect you.”

His breath hissed, the sound a low whistle of suppressed rage. “When I told you Tao was tailing us in Singapore, do you think that was easy for me?”

Your stomach flipped. “No.”

“It wasn’t, but I was honest with you anyways. When I cut off his ear in the bathroom? Do you think that was something I wanted to tell you about? Do you?!”

Dully, you shook your head, mumbling a quiet, “No.”

“It wasn’t! I wanted to lie to you and tell you everything was fine and that you had nothing to worry about! But you know what, Princess? I told you the truth anyways. Even when it was something that wasn’t pleasant, I still respected you enough to be honest.”

After that explosion of temper, you curled into the passenger seat and stared out the window at the landscape. You wanted to ask where he was taking you, but held back, unwilling to risk another argument over what you’d done. The rest of the trip passed in silence. Lloyd didn’t turn on the radio to break the tension and he didn’t offer any opening for you to apologize further.

So you did the only thing you could and waited for him to cool down, while planning your apology for some future moment, when he’d be ready to hear you out.

GO GET THEM, GIRL!!! YOU’RE OUR LAST HOPE NOW 😭

[madmarchhare]

The general rides through the capital searching for the wild dog, ordering people inside so they don't get attaked, when she hears a yell. A mother, covered in blood cries over her young son who was snatched up by the dog. The general order everyone inside, fearing the dog was not normal and that people were in severe danger, saying any who stayed out would be charged for a crime.
