imagine knowing that if you get caught being a corrupt official you will get your daughters to be sold off into brothels as property, still fucking doing it and then when your daughter manages to make some semblence of a normal life in a brothel, you get angry at her for loosing her virtue

[initiumseries]

who are your favourite tv characters?

Hmm, interesting question. These are always tough because I consume so much media that I don't remember everything, despite liking those characters, so the ones that stick are usually the ones I've rewatched a million times. Anyway! I will do my best, in no particular order, nor is this an exhaustive list:

Rupert Giles

Cordelia Chase

Blair Waldorf

Robb Stark before...yeah

Wei Yingluo

Aang

Sokka

Battiatus

OG Spartacus

Asher

Sandra Kaluyokalani

Yuri and Victor

Levi Ackerman

This absolute nutjob, Yumeko Jabami (s1)

Bishop Greenleaf (tbh he could just be reading the phonebook and he'd be my favourite)

This entire OG cast tbh

Zeng Bao Qin & Shen Ciu Xi

This entire cast

These goofballs most of the time

Do Bong Soon

There's more I'm sure, but this is what came up when I wracked my brain lol.

Round up of all my fics for this year’s Three Sentence Ficathon. The general theme is I completely failed at 3 sentences most of the time. 

Fandom: 锦心似玉 | The Sword and The Brocade (TV)  

economics 101: It is the job of a current landlord to teach his son and heir all the knowledge he needs to carry out his future duties. And Xu Lingyi takes his son’s education very seriously.

no cause to repine: “Do you feel the need to play the part of the virtuous wife, or do you really want me to have more concubines?” Xu Lingyi/Shiyi Niang fluff  829 words

Fandom: 当家主母 | Marvelous Women (TV)  

for better for worse: Today, Zeng Bao Qin was to become Ren Xue Tang’s official wife. Ten years ago, she would have wept in happiness at this day, and laugh at Cui Xi’s regrets. Cui Xi/Bao Qin, 510 words 

Fandom: 向风而行 | Flight to You (TV)  

flight over water: Gu Nanting watches Cheng Xiao on the beach after that ill-fated first Luzhou flight to Singapore. 1,115 words

with the wind | 顺风: Snippets of the pilots and crews of Luzhou Air, written for the Three Sentence Ficathon. See chapter 1 for Table of Contents.

dereliction of duty: How the investigation of the accident where Cheng Xiao turned the plane instead of braking like Jiang Tao ordered should have ended.  903 words

Fandom: 卿卿日常 | New Life Begins (TV)  

rolling the dice, got the wind in my hair: Hao Jia gives birth to a son, Yin Song wants to make her his official wife even if he has to get creative to get rid of Zhao Fangru, then so be it. Hao Jia cannot let this happen. For the Three Sentence Ficathon prompts "any, any, I stuffed them full of death caps / and killed my lover dead" and "any, any, it's a good day for someone else to die" but ended up being way longer than three sentences.  2,265 words

they three: You did not have to be just one husband and one wife to be happy, Li Wei realised, not when everyone was willing to be together. (Li Wei/Yin Zheng/Yuan Ying OT3)

incomplete the collection: Haitang vows their band of sisterhood would never, never reach 24.

memories feel like weapons: Alone in her cold chambers, sometimes Hao Jia thought the only friend she had was regrets.

Fandom: 如懿传 | Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (TV)  

green plum blossom promise: Loosely-connected three-sentence fanfics reflecting on Ruyi and Hailan's relationship.

Others

Milestones: You Are My Glory - this year’s 3sf entries start from chapter 25

the changing of the guard(s): It is the year of the Rabbit...or is it? (Anthropomorphic)

a certain step towards falling in love: “To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.”Michael was not so much fond of dancing as needing to dance to avoid match-making mamas. (Bridgerton Francesca/Michael)

lost and found: “Hi, have you seen a bag containing a Toblerone, a bottle of Talisker and a lemon?” (Cabin Pressure)

they said this is the cheapest marvel series ever produced. see, this is what happens when you focus on storytelling instead of unnecessary stuff no one cares about. i loved this episode so much. please, give me more low-budget marvel shows that care about the plot, the characters, and their target audience. i don't need another rdj blockbuster marvel movie. you can have that. give me meaningful stories with a low budget, made by people who truly believe in what they're creating.

"compulsory sexuality isn't a thing, no one cares if you don't fuck, in fact our puritanical society actually prefers it if you're sexless, especially if you're a woman" oh phew, for a second I thought we lived in a world where for hundreds of years it was considered a wife's legal responsibility to provide her husband with sex upon command, thank god I was mistaken and no woman has ever faced social, legal, medical, or physical repercussions for not having sex.

— Women lock themselves up in the houses for their survival. To be favored by men, we fight to our death. Are women too vicious, or is this world too vicious to women?

[uraandri]

ok so how does a tv series about imperial concubines, who's sole job was to please one man, manage to pass the bechdel test, but a tv series about women weavers defying tradition can't?
