:) Last DND session's happenings. Some (non)actions have consequences.

ice king i drew today that i think you guys will like

[signedkoko]

Howdy!

Could I ask for romantic headcanons for what initially makes Blitzø, Stolas and Millie fall for the person they're interested in?

Hope that makes sense lol. Much love to you <3

Blitzo | Millie | Stolas [Romantic]

In which their initial interest in you begins to flourish

It was a tough mission, one far before Blitzo had formally established IMP

It was just him and his gun, payed hefty cash under a table to take care of a target

He hadn't expected the target would notice him, and the tables would turn so quickly

With his back pressed against the floor, and a gun placed firmly into his skull, he surely thought that was it

But the first shot was drawn not by the target, but another demon wielding an old shotgun

Blood was everywhere, splattered across the ceiling, himself, and you

And good lord, did that crimson ever bring out the colour of your eyes

One of those stupid slo mo scenes in his mind, at least until he realised you'd killed the target before he had- and- wait, why were there two of you?

" Good call on the client for bringing in a backup plan, huh? You ain't bad but you could be better. "

You had helped him back home after that, and to his surprise, split the cash amount equally, citing something about how bait was just as important as the kill

Since then, you were the only thing on his mind, and his new shining obsession

Growing up in Wrath, Millie was well acquainted with those around her, and found it easy to spot someone who wasn't local

And boy, you were anything but local

The delivery person who dropped off supplies for the ranch from various rings, you looked nothing like the folk around here, far more...modern

Eventually, she happily took up the 'chore' of handling drop offs and pick ups just for an excuse to talk to you, and learn about you

Your stories of the other rings drew her in, feeding the yearning she had to adventure amongst them

Her parents preferred to keep their rowdy girl home, where it was safer, but when you offered to take her with you on a delivery to the pride ring, she begged her parents until they reluctantly agreed

Not that it mattered, she would have snuck out if she had to

You brought her up to the pride ring, showed her the sights and even let her speak to one of your other clients, IMP

Thanks to you, she eventually got a job with them, and she still insists on taking care of any of IMPs drop offs

Stolas often felt isolated in the place he was pretty much forced to live in and continue to work from day in and out

Always the same faces, the same servitude, the same job, nothing ever changed

The only people he got 'close' to were other royals, since everyone else had to bow their heads to him and followed the speak when spoken to mentality

But like every royal, there were a few ceremonies and festivals he had to attend to where he got to interact with the denizens of hell in a more refreshing manner

That was where he met you, at the winter solstice celebration, which was annually held in the pride ring

You were a descendant of the former event runner, now tasked with welcoming the prince and shifting the temperature cycle of hell through an ancient artefact

Stolas found you far more welcoming than the last, having invited him into your home the day prior so he didn't have to travel so early, and asking him many questions of how his experience of it was in the past

This year, he opened the gate to the mortal sky far wider, and for longer, as a small gift to repay your kindness

He hopes you consider a summer solstice event, so he can see you more than once a year

Author's Note - Thank you so much for requesting!! I decided to be a lil creative and make something neat up, I hope it was to your liking!

I'm posting this a bit early in case the 12th isn't a good mental health day. And I'm sorry if the random tag is annoying or if this post takes up too much space on dash.

On Oct 12 2016, I made a coincedental decision that has changed my life as a whole. A choice that has led me to so much pain but also so many happy memories and irreplcable friends. I made my pfp on Quotev a Genis Sage picture and somehow ended up involved in a Symphonia rp group 💕.

I had loved Genis as a character since I was a child watching my sister play at my Nanny's (my cousin would always delete her save before we even reached triet) and when we got a copy of the game when I was around 11/12 I had him on my team for the most part. It was my fascination with half elves and the mysterious Kharlan War Era that led to the creation of Mana, Oracle, Lee, 3rd, and Sunny. But those were all just childish writing in a notebook I hid from the world. Im sure lil me would die on the spot to hear that they are charas so many people know. I always knew that I loved to write but it was for charas like Sherlotta who were niche and not from a series as big as Tales so I never wrote Genis. Well until that day, I was too awkward to tell them I wasnt an rp blog and fully committed to it.

And look where that has led me. Here to you all. This journey may have been long and filled with things I'd never wish on anyone but I'm happy. So many of you have encouraged me and been there for me. I love and appreciate you all. Under the cut imma try to have things for a lot of you all word wise as gratitude. But thank you all so much, there are no amount of words or tangible sentences to express how much you all mean to me. And a happy birthday to my Genis interp who I wish i still wrote

@pyonpyonpyon ; Yuki youve been around since I started on here and damn time sure does fly. Thank you for always sticking around and plotting some of the most insane relations w/ me (Moe and Yuuri family) and dealing with tye silly kyubey meming I did back in 2017 (its been that long)

@mermaus ; sobs you know how much i lov and appreciate you but I will reiterate here... Lena you have stood by me for so much, have made my day so many times, etc. You are one of the most talented people on this website and in general? You are funny, kind, brave, strong, amazing. Im forever thankful to have met you and to be in your life. I am so eagerly awaiting the day we can meet and I can hug you irl.

@strebcr ; Pineapple !!! I am so so glad to have reconected with you! You are truly an amazing person and i am forever blessed to be considered your friend.

@in-sum ; Puyo !! Sobs I am so glad we were able to reconnect again, you are an amazing friend and you are always there for me. Youve stood in my corner when I was going through some of my worst times and I am forever grateful. You are talented and kindhearted and you stand up for what you believe is right.

@malusrecord / @constellationcrowned ; Kala!!!!!! It goes without saying how amazing of a writer and person you are. You bring so much life to your characters and it truly shows. I always find myself reading and rereading your posts when I am active on dash. You deserve all the good things in the world. And thank you so much for being my fren, I will always enjoy our dms and learning more about series i never thought I'd enjoy.

@ervaurem ; Shai!! I appreciate ypu so heckin much, you are such a kind and thoughtful person. I adore your presence on my dash and i adore the bonds between our characters. You've been there for me for such a long time now and I cant ever thank you enough..

@ofstarsandskies , @mathcs , @altosk , @cataclysmus , @talesofourworlds , and @broadswordandpistol ; a big catch all for all the wonderful people I met during festitales, despite how rough i am forever thankful for the oppurtunity I was given to force others into my point and click dm style of adventure. I have so much I cam say to each n every one of you 🥺

@solivcgant ; Mochi Mochi!! I am so sorry for the crimes Mana has committed against food and Eiji's mental health (eggbear eggs painge). I enjoy your presence and dog memes so much. You are so cool amd amazing aaa.

@twinklesofhope ; Ringo!! You are so talented and seeing you around makes me so happy.

@canidgrit / @nickitsden ; Fox!!! Hi we don't write together often but you are such a joy to see on my dash.

@biisutoarm ; Red!!! Hewwo hewwo, i love your Elfman so much he is such a treat and seeing him on dash always brightens my day. You are such a talented writer !

@osovereign ; Rinni! Hi hello, you are such an amazing and wonderful person. I have a lot of fun dming and writing with you. Its so nice to write with you again (I found a draft from like Jan 2017 on an old blog for you and i had to stop and stare at it lol--). I appreciate you so much and I hope to keep expanding Kratos' collection of poor Mana art.

@ednaeflowers ; Jenny!! Hi!! I know we aren't all that close or anything but you are such a delight to see on my dash. The Eizen and Edna thread we have is near and dear to my heart. I also really appreciate Mana and Edna's little friendship thing. I just really love your Edna interp 🥺, you are so talented and I appreciate you.

And to anyone else who read this far down, I love and appreciate you so much. Even if we don't speak or really write together. I genuinely believe each and every person I follow are talented individuals.

Danmei and MXTX novels

Would you look at that, another post that's not about anime? WILD. It is about MXTX novels though so the hyperfixations continue. I'm actually in the process of planning a very lengthy analysis of all three of her series but this is a warning, don't expect too much. I was never good at those in school plus it's been almost 7 years since I've last written something like that but I feel so passionate about her works that I really wanna try to share what I thought about the novels. Nevertheless, this isn't actually those analysis posts since those are gonna be separate and will probably be written after I re-read each series. However, since I'm actually finally fully done reading all her series - including the extra side chapters - I wanted to quickly share some of my opinions and how I feel after finishing all 18 of the books.

This goes without saying but just in case - SPOILER WARNING for Heaven Official's Blessing, The grandmaster of demonic cultivation and The scum villain's self saving system novels.

First off, if you haven't read any of MXTX's work before, prepare for trauma and tragedy. Most of her characters are either deeply traumatised already or in the process of. I will always encourage people to read content warnings before reading her books.

Starting off with my favourite - TGCF or Tian Guan Ci Fu (aka Heaven Official's Blessing). This story means a lot to me. I got introduced to TGCF through the donghua before I even knew it was queer fiction and even with censorship, the closet is made of fucking GLASS so I had to look for the source material. Honestly it took me a while to commit to reading the whole series as I've been struggling to pick up books for years now but TGCF actually got me back into reading (I think in total it took me about 8 days to read all 8 volumes). More than just the story telling being good, I got so incredibly attached to every single character (except Jun Wu, he can eat shit - tho the fact I'm even saying this speaks volumes about how well MXTX can write characters. It takes a lot for me to hate a character this much).

Taking place in a beautiful fantasy world, we follow Xie Lian and Hua Cheng through tragic traumatic past and present and we learn of the horrible truths about the lives of immortal beings. We also see two idiots in love take their sweet ass time to confess. I love me a good slow burn full of longing and pining. I eat that shit UP every time and MXTX gave it to me with every single one of her series.

TGCF for me was a journey full of kicking my feet at fluff, second hand embarrassment (because xl I stg, what do you MEAN you were taught how to resist the advances of women but not how to resist hot men you gay lil shit the closet is made of glass) and honestly, lots of crying. The hundred stabs incident, ruoye's creation and hcg's last death made me sob and scream (no exaggeration, I was stomping around my room, crying and yelling GIVE HIM BACK RIGHT NOW).

Also, in a not so unpopular opinion (I think?), Pei Ming is my fave because 1) he's the no.1 Hualian shipper - check the whole Mt Tunglu adventure for proof and also 2) he's just a lil slut with a big heart. I could seriously talk about him forever because I went from hating him after he tried to throw the blame for the Banyue Pass incident on Xie Lian, to loving him after I realised that everything he does, he does because he is truly just a kind man who loves a good fight. He's so silly! Just a lil guy! Go Pei Ming go!

Fuck you Jun Wu. Again. (I hate him just as much as I hate Mahito. Maybe a little less. I really hate Mahito).

Moving on to my second favourite (but honestly it's such a close one), MDZS or Mo Dao Zu Shi (The grandmaster of demonic cultivation). Take a wild guess about how I got introduced to it... Fandom of course, because very few people talk about TGCF online without mentioning MDZS so I just had to give it a chance.

The great grandmaster of demonic cultivation has been dead for a while but when he gets gifted a new body through a not so well known demonic ritual, he runs into an old acquaintance. We learn about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's past and current world of cultivation and hear stories about messy betrayals and conspiracies. Aaaand we find out about some more trauma and tragedy because is it really an MXTX novel without it?

And talk about a rollercoaster because (and please don't hate me for this) I found Wei Wuxian annoying initially.... But it's okay now because I kin him so go figure. Tho I actually kin only his adult self, I was a very introverted and rule abiding teenager, a lil more like Lan Wangji. In any case, wwx is the same stupid chaotic bisexual that I am and he is babygurl. Yeah and what if he murdered 3000 people? It was self defense. THEY ATTACKED FIRST. Your honour, he did nothing wrong and he does not deserve to be punished!

On a serious note, MDZS explores so many themes that are personally important to me, my favourite being the power dynamics of the world. It’s truly moving that even with all the pain Wei Wuxian went through, how far in his cultivation and how powerful he got, he still couldn't protect those he loved (until Lan Wangji of course because Wangxian is perfect together and they always protect and defend each other. Wangxian my beloved). While it might be a stretch for some, it really reminded me of how powerless we are in the world. People aim to educate themselves and go on to do whatever they can to better the world in their own way and yet, it really feels like nothing’s improving sometimes. I could talk about this for hours but maybe I’ll leave that for another time and another analysis post since this is supposed to be a shorter one (lmao)

Last but not least, RZFZX or Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (honestly this one I use the english name for because I can’t pronounce the chinese as much as I try - The scum villain's self saving system or Svsss). This one I actually kinda struggled with - first of all because WHY BUGS MXTX. Not much bothers me in fiction but BUGS? Too far. Heads with spider legs? Raw flesh with maggots? Blood mites? I was out (for about half an hour and then I kept reading). Please note that it's not the raw flesh that bothered me, it was the fucking maggots. I can read about graphic murder, creepy hauntings, torture and many more but as soon as there are bugs? Nope! I’m done. People have phobias and that’s mine I guess. Enough ranting about bugs!

The story follows Shen Qingqiu, the scum villain of the hit web novel Proud Immortal Demon's Way (or PIDW for short, as it's referred to in Svsss) who is actually one of the original readers - and haters - of PIDW, who transmigrates into the book in order to fix the plot holes left by the original author. With his guide “the system” he does his best to lead the male lead of PIDW, Luo Binghe, down a better path than in the original story.

Svsss employs a comedic way of storytelling, with our protagonist being omniscient, it allows for the narration to be sarcastic and poke fun at a lot of moments that are cliche or badly written, as interpreted by sqq. Honestly, this is just a personal preference but I favour the more serious storytelling way of MDZS and TGCF (give me hurt until the very end when the main characters get together and then give me comfort).

To me, Svsss is a lot harder to analyse as a lot of its themes are unfamiliar to me, especially considering I’m the furthest from having any sort of humanitarian education (I have 2 engineering degrees). Using a story within a story, MXTX is able to deliver two main overarching themes; one about abuse and its results through Luo Binghe as well as one about the relationship of author and their readers, the feeling of being trapped by the readers' opinions and wanting your story to be liked through Shang Qinghua (to be honest, I hadn’t really picked up on this one until I saw discussion about this in the fandom).

If I'm being completely honest, I don't think I grasped this series as well as the other ones and I'm finding it hard to digest lbg and sqq's relationship. I'm unsure as to what it is that's holding me back from loving them as much as Hualian and Wangxian. I do tend to prefer tropes like theirs more than the whole "had to convince him to date me" thing which is what Bingqiu's relationship seemed like to me up until the end of volume 3. It’s also why I'm glad I actually followed through and finished the extras in volume 4 (I was really tempted to stop reading once I finished volume 3 not gonna lie). I believe those to be integral to understanding sqq's feelings towards lbh and while I understand that sqq did actually love lbh from the beginning (denial is a river in egypt and the gloset is made of glass - what the fuck is with MXTX's bottoms and the damn glass closet), I struggled to see the tipping point of where he actually understood his own feelings and what was going on in his head and that he was actually in love with lbh. Which is why I think to really understand Svsss, I would seriously need to reread it.

I also would love to eventually talk about queerness in MXTX's work because in each book, sexuality and queerness is explored and examined in so many different ways. As a queer person myself, it fascinates me as I can relate to so much of it. To be honest, I think I could write a short thesis on just this.

Honestly, while I'm very passionate about my favourite pieces of media (if you've heard me talk about any of my top 5 anime you'll understand what I mean), there hasn't been a lot of things outside JJK and MXTX's novels that have made me wanna dive deep into analysing every single detail. It genuinely makes me feel like I'm gonna implode sometimes. These 3 series have seriously reignited my love for reading. I was shown that a good book - in my opinion of course - doesn't need to avoid difficult topics. It simply needs to use them well as a means of delivering a message and a story, rather than them being included just to be included. They also reminded me that I love queer fiction and I need to read more.

I actually would really like to read Erha (or 2ha or The husky and his white cat shizun) but I've read the content warnings and I'm ~~apprehensive~~. While not a lot of things bother me, I'm not sure I want to read about that stuff (please look at the content warnings of this book, or any piece of media in that matter, especially if you have topics that easily bother or trigger you). Remember, it's our responsibility as readers/consumers to look out for ourselves first!

Please recommend any good danmei (other than MXTX) and possibly include links where they can be read! I would also highly appreciate recommendations for some good wlw fantasy fiction as I really would love to read some wlw novels - or even anime/movies/webtoons/manga. Just in desperate need of quality wlw content.

Also while I said I'd keep it short, it seems I ended up writing over 2000 words…

PS. I proofread this about 5 times and during one of them my file crashed, so if there's any mistakes or if I’m not making sense somewhere, blame my deep-fried brain, thanks

Thanks for reading my novel ramble! Enjoy reading :)

My hot take is that every Steven Universe character would love Hazbin Hotel.

My understanding of the political critique of Steven Universe from the left is that Steven's MO of "changing hearts and minds" through nonviolence makes it a show about bootlicker centrists. I disagree, as I believe the show is about revolutionaries who are not opposed to the use of violence, but who are willing to make peace only when the other side has legitimately given ground. Further, killing the bad guys is just the status quo for action/adventure/whatever stories aimed at lil' boys and doesn't really make a statement about anything per se. Though I'll grant you that the diamonds aren't exactly deposed at series' end.

But this perceived flaw is exactly why the two shows are thematically groovy. The premise of Hazbin Hotel is about restorative justice. No one, regardless of the sin, should be tortured in hell for all eternity or killed en masse. There needs to be a path to redemption. It's a show about a scrappy group of misfits, cast down from their celestial progenitors, now opposing the genocidal and morally myopic army of invaders, while singing and crying; the Crystal Gems would be like "they're just like me fr."

WIP WEDNESDAY!

Lil something I'm working on - these characters are based on me and my father, this is just a silly lil adventure they're going on!

"That ... sounds like the most boring job ever," Mo groans, dramatically throwing his head back like a bored child. Ronin shoots his son a glare before turning his attention back to the holographic Jedi Council as the call dips the Liberty Dasher's cockpit into a light-blue hue. "We'll report to you as soon as we touch down on Coruscant," he declares, ignoring Mo's frustrated huff as the latter hammers in the coordinates of the Republic's core planet. Master Windu nods gratefully. "Thank you, Ronin. It's good to know that we can count on you." And with that, the Council has disappeared again. 

Ronin turns his seat to properly scowl at his son. "You're unbelievable." Without the slightest care in the world, Mo waves him off as he engages in hyperspace. "Oh, calm down, old man." "Calm down?!" Ronin spits at him, throwing a hand that wasn't occupied with the steerage in the air, "These people are responsible for the entire galactic army and you're making a fool out of us with your immature behaviour!" "You sound like they weren't just begging for our help a minute ago." With a mocking grin on his lips, he looked over at Ronin with a raised brow.

Watched the new eps of true to love and I have thoughts!!

-I'm OBSESSED with Bora she continues to do the most mortifying shit imaginable. She pees in the street, gets the pee on suhyeoks shoes, and then pretends to have a neck injury by putting a headband on her neck to avoid him and then gets caught!!! Literally in love w her.

-bora and suhyeok continue going on lil adventures together like they always have, but somehow now it feels like they're going on dates...they even went shopping together...!! "Did you walk in slo-mo on purpose just now?" Kicking my feet.

-bomi is so cute...as soon as they meet again she's already calling jinho oppa even though she told him to speak formally two seconds before lol

-why did bora's ex act so surprised to see bora get picked up by another guy...did he expect her to walk out of the restaurant and collapse in tears?? Is that what he wanted? Genuinely wonder what he was thinking because I still do not understand him at all. 

-scream I did not expect them to kiss so soon i thought ep 10 at the earliest omggg !!

-it's "we kissed but it was an accident, promise!!! so let's be awkward and say rude things to hide how we really feel, creating confusion and angst" time in the next ep...classic move. I love angst so...i'm excited to see how it goes!!

Beyond the Borders.

In this lil tidbit of the Thoma interp I'd like to station his inspired MO for becoming a proactive traveler. On top of that, where he can usually be found whenever he's stationed at a place. (Or just isn't out there in the wilds.)

Since the days of triumphing over the VHD alongside the resistance, there's been a tie of infamy and more positive fame to his name. This had allowed him to easily get deeper into the structure of the Adventurer's guild. As someone who can take on sociable task and that which requires high to supernatural amounts of labor to either safely traverse and execute, he's extended his network from what was woven into Inazuma and managed to meet many faces, familiar and new.

So being around those rowdy halls are one definite. If not within them directly, he's usually around the selected city's main hub in order claim new cases. (This does serve as his generous income.)

There have been developed goals that helped add some extra fire under his seat so to speak. The fate of his father is still unknown. It's been a decade and even the officials to common folk have seen neither hide or hair of him. At this point it borders to an unusual case that he believes need to be discovered. It's not like he found himself back in Mondstadt either, he truly did vanish.

Secondly would be what could promote something like the Vision Hunts? What was it about humanity that could derive a fear of them paving their own future and possibilities? Trying to understand the perceptions of the divine doesn't look like it'd hoist any true results by word of mouth alone. Thus, he took it upon himself to actually draw his own views and perceptions of Teyvat from the mortal and divine scale, to create a journey of understanding that requires such a hellish amount of strength.

After spending such a suffocating year being locked away by the divine storm, the urge to get on the move added to the kindle on a more superficial level, all of these factors elevating him to his current host and decisions and adventure.

So Teyvat just found itself another new problem solver for more of the dangerous phenomenon out there.

____

In short. This can be used as a means to basically have him positioned anywhere. That does include Inazuma too if you see fit for an RP, but I'd like to take advantage of the rich number of locations you can just throw some muses at.

I know exactly four screamo songs off the top of my head and two of them are about murdering Moby Dick and violently threatening moviegoers into complying with the rules at a movie theater (the other two are both Wintersun songs and are therefore fundamentally Norse adventure ballads and should not be counted)

Two of the rap songs closest to my heart are about the endless folly of living under modern capitalism and how the pursuit of glory can cause a musician to fall under the thrall of the industry and the chains of debt (last one made such an impact that I ended up making an AMV of it).

There's a song from a classic rock band, beloved by white America, about a serial killer who primarily targets women.

If you hear that rap is a genre of violence from mainstream (white) media and local (often white) authority figures, and you internalize that rap is a genre of violence, then it doesn't matter what you actually hear; you hear what you've been told to hear whether it's Lil Wayne, Wonder Mike or Mos Def.

fuck killing a victorian child by making them listen to hyperpop all you gotta do is make a white tumblr user listen to rap

DBH part 79

||sorry for my absence. Lots of things have been going on in life & was kind of out of it writingwise. But here are the 2 story parts. Short ones this time bc i have to get ready tomorrow for something.||

La texted the whole thing he had witnessed in his room & that he wished he could have done something to stop it. C told him that it wasnt anything he had control over so he shouldnt blame himself. But it was worrisome nonetheless.

C rang up his dad's usual defective & put him to the case. But reminded him to not raise suspicion to himself. The oldtimer accepted his job offer & went right to work.

|there are some lame stanton back & forth with the siblings. We won't waste our time with that.|

Back in the lil kids school

Many kids talked to their friends about their assignments about the jobs they had researched the whole week, as Na walks up to her little clique. As expected T had looked through tons of independent adventurers & was passionately talking about his findings. Le didn't have much on tech jobs bc there were way too many so she opted on the game designer. Not really her first choice but secret service was too on the nose, if you know what i mean. Mo made a few pages about stunt doubles. She liked that they could get to do the fun stuff that make most movies exciting. Even tho the majority only recognized the movie stars for their acting.

Mo asked Xa & Lo what they had in mind. Xa always wanted to be a lawyer since his grandfather was one where he was young. Lo, surprisingly, put 'Florist' on the paper. The tomboy laughed at his answer while T didn't see the problem.

As na was about to present her research all of them stopped her right here & there, taking their turns on why they know that she took the medical approach.

Mo's reason: bc she is always the first to respond to ppl in trouble. Le's reason: bc she always is trying to help the less fortunate in health. T: bc she knows how it is being sick in the first place. And Xa & Lo had the sane answer: bc she always so fixated on the body & its functions.

It wasnt difficult to figure that one out.

❛  can you tell me more about your adventures?  ❜ / from Fu Xuan

"Mishaps I been stuck in?" There's an amused smile that blooms at the mere thought. For someone who see's the realm through the means of foresight, it leaves him curious, idle wonders in terms of her interest in ever being a witness to that phenomenon firsthand.

Thinking a touch deeper on it, maybe this is where stories hold such high praise upon the Luofu. In many ways they served as a verbal Astral Express. The idea of sharing that with a friend felt too good to pass up. Caelus's expression held a brief stint of contemplation, those golden eyes briefly hazed due to just how many haphazard experiences carried underneath his belt.

What would be something that could leave Fu Xuan feeling imaginative?

"Say, have you ever encountered snow before? A seasonal type-a deal." He begins, canting a curious gaze towards the Diviner.

"How about a world filled with it?" He continues, drawing his hand upon the sky, as if printing the image of a winter wonderland before her eyes. "Blankets of pure white as far as the eye can see. Chilly to the touch, lethal to stay in for too long of a time. This is one of the first stops I've made since joining the Express. A cozy lil cold star called Belobog."

"In exchange for having to deal with cold as hell conditions, these people burned red hot, having a level of heart that you can often never seen coming."

"If I have to tell ya about one of my favorite adventures there, it'd be about catching this phenomenon they have there called an Aurora Borealis. Fu Xuan, when I tell ya it feels like you caught the curtains to heaven, I damn well mean it. To get an avid view wasn't going to be any easy pitch though."

"Me and some knucklehead friends of mine had to travel. Enduring the frost with some good ol' fashioned preparedness, a degree in kick ass diplomacy, not to mention some good laughs along the way. We'd usually spend those times just getting to learn each other better. Anyways. We had to reach a mountain high point, same ol' MO similar to dealing with Abundance abominations here. Though-- We finally got to witness it."

"It's like a giant show window, that Aurora, spreading across the sky like it's trying to open a frame to some place beyond. Here, I did manage to snag a few shots myself." Caelus offers, propping up his phone to draw the view for her attention. It holds true to his words, and upon one of those pictures, the sight of someone tumbling down a mountain could be seen, that view eliciting a snicker.

"Don't mind that one, they got a lil too amazed with staring that they kinda-- stepped back and off the foothold, leading to this here!"

Mo Dao Zu Shi (The founder of diabolism)

Genre: Action/ Adventure/ Fantasy/ Drama/ Mystery

Warnings: Gore/ Violence

STRAP IN KIDS. WE'RE GOIN ON A RIDEEEEEEEEEEE

So... If you follow my other blog (or even this blog), you'll know how much I love MXTX's TGCF and MDZS novels. And I have been patiently waiting for the letter M so I can finally force myself to watch the MDZS donghua and it was WELL WORTH IT.

Mo Dao Zu Shi (English donghua title: The founder of diabolism) is based on Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's hit novel series of the same Chinese name (English novel name: The grandmaster of demonic cultivation) and it is one of my favourite pieces of fiction of all time. I will attempt to not infodump about the novel in this post other than a section about the adaptation but no promises!

The story starts when Wei Wuxian, a well hated demonic cultivator who died 13 years ago, gets reincarnated and gifted a new body through a demonic ritual. We learn about his early life as a teenager and later as a demonic cultivator (before he died) as well as follow the events of the current timeline where a dismembered body is causing all kinds of chaos.

I went into the donghua knowing what was about to happen.... And it still got me bad cause it made me cry. The story of Wei Wuxian as well as the stories of the side characters are genuinely very sad (tho nothing can compare to the soul crushing sadness of banana fish - but MDZS still made me cry a significant bit).

The art itself is beautiful and even tho I felt like the animation could have been just a tinyyy bit better at times, I think I just have high standards and it's still pretty well animated. I actually really liked the use of CGI because it wasn't used for people (other than for crowds a couple times) but mostly for other things like flags, water and background stuff that actually just made the animation simply smoother.

Don't even get me STARTED on the music because I love instruments and music that are more traditional, from any culture that is. Please excuse my ignorance but as far as I know, the guqin is a traditional Chinese instrument and I'm pretty sure there's a traditional version of a flute in most cultures. I've not really done my research on traditional Chinese music so I will refrain from calling the MDZS music that or even inspired by it but no matter the case, I fucking loved it.

I will give a spoiler warning here because, I wanna talk about the adaptation of the novel as well as compare some scenes and the plot points that were changed in the adaptation. Mostly, I wanna talk about 2 things: the whole process of finding the pieces of the dismembered body as well as the change in the storytelling timeline.

When it came to searching for the pieces of the dismembered body, I got really confused by the addition of the whole watch towers thing? With triggering resentful energy at specific locations after they first subdued the arm? I was so confused. But I think for someone who hasn't read the book, watching the donghua this is probably a little easier to digest than the book and probably helped the production team to keep the donghua on the shorter side (all 5 of the books where adapted into 35 episodes).

But I did like how they kept the timeline a little straighter and actually showing things in (mostly) the order that happened other than a few flashbacks - we got Wei Wuxian's study years at the cloud recess first, then lotus pier being destroyed, him disappearing and coming back as the Yiling patriarch and then we got a lil more of the current timeline when they started looking for the rest of the body etc etc if you've read the novels, you should know where I'm going with this.

Anyway my BIGGEST thing about the donghua is that I was expecting to not see much of Wangxian's relationship, or I was expecting it to be a little more ambiguous considering the censorship but really man... They didn't say it but was it OBVIOUS. We got a (slightly different version) of the three bows in the Jiang ancestral hall as well as them leaving together to go on a journey at the end. They even kept the name of their song (which I was really expecting that they would cut out). Not only that but they MADE THEIR ROBES TURN RED WHEN THEY WHERE FIGHTING THE CORPSES ON THE BURIAL MOUNTS AT THE END?? I died. Had to pause, take a breath, scream a bit and then resume because what censorship? The animators heard that Wangxian is married and they gave us a WEDDING.

Spoiler warning over

Regardless, I think the fantasy elements and the action in the donghua are really well done and I think anyone could enjoy it. I would seriously encourage any fantasy fans to watch this - and if you're into a good tragic, queer story, do pick up the books (be warned - they include sexually explicit content).

Thank you for reading another rant! Enjoy watching :)
