#last few of these

[robininthelabyrinth]

altheadcanon/minific concept if you're still taking them: let's say nmj did in fact want to kill jgy when he kicked him down the stairs; it was the best chance to stop the man from further evils that would ruin himself and everyone around him

“What were you thinking?” someone snapped at Nie Mingjue – in his daze, he couldn’t tell who. “You could have killed him!”

In Nie Mingjue’s mind, lost and confused and overheated, those words felt like a moment of clarity.

Killed him – yes, that was what was necessary, wasn’t it?

Jin Guangyao had not responded to his offer of brotherhood by repairing his behavior, but by worsening it, only now he had Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue to hide behind, using their respectability to further his evil deeds. If anything, now that he’d gotten so close to the approval of that odious Jin Guangshan, he was even more willing to debase himself, committing atrocity after atrocity, poisoning his own future…at this rate, he’d probably reincarnate as a toad, or an animal set for slaughter.

If Jin Guangyao was allowed to keep going, it would only be worse, for the world and for himself.

Nie Mingjue was Jin Guangyao’s older brother now. He had responsibility.

He…needed to kill him.

That was why he’d kicked him so viciously, Nie Mingjue supposed. Maybe he hadn’t realized it consciously yet, but he’d known what he needed to do. He’d known there was only one way out.

Of course, that didn’t make his actions appropriate.

No – if he was going to do this, he needed to do it right.

“Huaisang,” he said when he got home, and his little brother rushed over, frowning; he was worried over Nie Mingjue’s health again. Pointless, really. He was going to die, that much was true, but since they already knew it was going to happen, why worry? “Huaisang, forgive me. We’re going to need to go to war again.”

“To war?” Nie Huaisang frowned even more. “Against who? The Wen are all gone, aren’t they, except for the ones that were over in the Burial Mounds with Wei Wuxian…?”

“Not the Wen,” Nie Mingjue said. “Lanling Jin.”

“Lanling Jin? Why?”

Nie Mingjue haltingly explained his reasoning. Maybe in a normal moment he wouldn’t have, would have been enraged by the delay of having to use his words rather than his actions, would have simply imposed his will and moved on, but he knew, as others didn’t, how much his health was worsening; if they were going to start something like this, Nie Huaisang needed to know everything about it, because it was entirely possible that he would need to be the one to complete it.

Not to mention the fact that Nie Mingjue would be bringing the weight of their violated brotherhood oath down on his head through his actions, and that in turn would affect his reputation, his sect’s reputation, and Nie Huaisang’s reputation – that, too, would be making Nie Huaisang’s life harder. Nie Mingjue knew he had no choice but to do what he believed was right, righteousness demanded it, but it didn’t mean that there wouldn’t be consequences.

“Hmm,” Nie Huaisang said. “I have a counter-proposal.”

“What?”

“We declare war on Lanling Jin, yes, but we imprison san-ge instead of killing him. Our goal in declaring war would be to save him, not hurt him – that would avoid violating your oath. No ‘different intentions’, right?”

“I…suppose…” Nie Mingjue rubbed his temples. His head was hurting again. It always did when he thought of Jin Guangyao, these days. “You’re really all right with this?”

“I think it’s a terrible idea,” Nie Huaisang said bluntly. “But also you wouldn’t do something like declare war lightly, and also it occurs to me that if you aren’t able to lead our sect for whatever reason, the person leading the cultivation world is Jin Guangshan. Certainly I can’t stop him, Jiang-xiong can’t, and er-ge, as much as I love him…yeah, no. So I think you’re right. We’ve got to do something before that happens.”

He shrugged.

“War it is!”

(Later on, when they found out about the poisoned song, Nie Huaisang immediately claimed that he’d suspected all along and that was his real reason for agreeing to the war – opportunistic little brat!)

if this comic resonated with you, please consider donating to this palestinian escape fund (vetted by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein) as it is less than $7,000 away from it's goal.

i turn 24 today. To celebrate, I made this comic to be a spiritual successor to lead balloon, a comic in which I talked about the darkest period of my life so far.

A lot has changed since my 23rd birthday and this one. My priorities have shifted a lot, in ways that I think are mostly good. But i think the best part about today is that suicide has gone back to being a far away notion. I'm really lucky, and I'm grateful for that.

Woe, my passion project be upon ye-

And that's it! For Now!!

Thank you so much for reading and i hope it comes in handy for any of your wingies needs :3 This took me... a While, more than it should've, but is finally here! And maybe i've been slacking a little on the tagging for this blog specifically, but i recommend besides reading all of this, to go check my Guides tag, as i'm missing a few little things here and there that i couldn't for the life of me find a way to explain, and i've already re-done this Way too much for my liking o(-(

But you can also just go around this blog to get some inspiration :o I got a Lot of different wing styles here, and again i gotta go back to tagging (and fix my blog web theme, don't worry about it—) but other than that, you're free to explore this lil blog of mine

Two last things—First, i did all of this for free, i want it to reach as many people as possible (which is why soon-ish i'll translate the entirety of it to spanish and add image descriptions to both versions, i need a break....), but if you liked this enough and would like to leave a lil' tip on my kofi (@/rainbowpinyata), i would appreciate it a lot... Second, my inbox is always open if you or someone you know is in need of a more in-dept explanation on any of the parts of this, as i had to resume most of the info, or just needs a little bit of advice. I'm gonna explain wings Much more than i already have on the next part, but that... is going to take a bit, so...

Anyways, many thanks to my friends for always being there for me, i don't think i would've gone past the first draft or the many others after that without their encouragement, suggestions and general help with keeping me going. It means everything to me.

Also, click for better quality pls, the pages are pretty big but... this site....

Horror movie fans are so funny because you'll bring up the biggest actor who's in 10,000 iconic roles, and they'll go, "Oh, the guy from Blood Burger 4: Keep Flipping." and that's the only thing on their filmography that they've seen.

There is only one way to make a truly wonderful Avatar adaptation, not matter how bad it turns out to be:
