reaching the "I have to look like this character" stage of hyperfixation is devestating when its a podcast character and there are little to no clues about how they look

Don’t you hate it when youre hungry but when you look in the kitchen but all you see are Ingredients, not food?

Giving Weasel an expanded tragic backstory is an example of one of those things that works really well in the context of Creature Commandos but seriously undermines what made his character funny in The Suicide Squad

Bai Zhan Peak is always full of noise and energy, no matter how early or late it is. The junior disciples religiously follow a strict early morning to early evening schedule, but the senior disciples have more freedom in choosing their training hours. It is why Liu Mingyan is certain she'll receive an audience even if she arrives before dawn. Not that there is an emergency requiring such urgency, nor is she that discourteous to wake Bai Zhan– no, she arrives after dawn, despite how much she's itching to twist her idiot of a brother's ear.

Honestly, what was he thinking? Leaving with only a letter as a warning, only to come back as half a corpse with a mountain of beast corpses kept in his spatial ring. Liu Mingyan had the fright of her life when she received a letter from Qian Cao, asking for her help in distributing qi to her foolish brother's damaged meridians.

Now, not even a full month later, he's planning on another excursion to some mountain (Distant Snow Peaks Mountain, full of Divine Ice Flowers and White-Furred Arctic Sparrows that Qian Cao desperately needs) without telling her. If not for his head disciple's timely letter, she may have never known.

It's rather surprising. Not the 'leaving without prior warning' schtick her brother likes to use, only to send a letter one week after he left to remind Liu Mingyan that he's hale and healthy and having the time of his life driving her up the wall– the fact that he has appointed a head disciple at all. Liu Mingyan had expected a good two or three centuries before he even considers choosing one; Liu Qingge rarely settles down long enough to entertain thoughts about improving his peak's long-standing, inefficient system he'd inherited from his shizun.

Then again, this is the only disciple Liu Qingge chose himself. It was to spite Shen Qingqiu, Liu Mingyan is aware, but her brother would not accept in any disciple if he is not satisfied with their innate talent. This Yang Yixuan must be a talented individual indeed, if he was accepted by Bai Zhan's War God and claimed the position of head disciple only a few months into his discipleship.

She lands on Bai Zhan soundlessly. A nearby disciple perks up, tense, until they land their eyes on her. "Liu-shijie," they say warmly. "Are you here to see Shizun?"

She nods. "Yes. Is he still around?"

They dart their eyes, searching. "Oh. This one is not sure. He did meet Yang-shixiong earlier, so he would know better. If shijie will allow me to lead her...?"

"Very well." Liu Mingyan carefully does not accept the hand offered to her. Without missing a beat, they withdraw it with nary a change in expression. They received the polite rejection better than she expected.

"Yang-shixiong!" they call, and an elegant and refined youth turned to them. Ah. Yang Yixuan. "Liu-shijie is looking for Shizun, is he...?"

"Shizun is here, and preparing for the day," Yang Yixuan answers. He stands up from his seat and bows appropriately. "Greetings to Liu-shijie."

Liu Mingyan matches his greeting. Taking that as their cue to leave, the disciple who accompanied her leaves in a hurry. "Is gege well?" she asks, catching on to the mild undercurrent of worry in his voice.

Yang Yixuan blinks, straightening up. He lifts a hand to cast a sound-proofing talisman. "Shizun had a minor qi deviation earlier," he says, then hastens to continue, "Mu-shishu has already cleared him earlier, and advised him to push back his leave for three days to ensure that his qi is stable enough for travel."

"Gege refused, then." Liu Mingyan says flatly. While Liu Qingge would normally rest after an injury and accept Mu Qingfang's orders well, he's likely far too restless after a month of being banned from night hunts and missiond. "Ah. You called me in as backup?"

Yang Yixuan smiles guiltily. Crafty, especially for a Bai Zhan disciple. "This one has failed to convince Shizun and can only ask for Liu-shijie for her understanding and help."

Hm. "Alright." She watches him keenly as he relaxes. "I don't suppose Yang-shidi can humor me for a short spar while we wait for my brother?"

Yang Yixuan stares for a while, before shaking his head. "This one will be honored to," he answers. "First blood, shijie?"

Liu Mingyan directs him to Liu Qingge's personal training grounds and the youth does not seem surprised. Her brother must cherish him a lot, then, to give him access to his private ground. "Yes. First blood. Whenever you're ready."

Loyal Soldier to the Order of the Pack, Lunar Special Operative- it's always Scarlet Benoit underneath.

Scarlet is a little less jovial than wolf in canon, instead leaning toward dry remarks and humor. She is also much bigger than she is in canon (though I didn't include anyone else for scale... in Ze'evs sheet i will) because. well. genetically modified werewolf super soldiers i rest my case. she takes ze'ev being taken about as well as you'd expect.... by which i mean she, too, spends a quarter of Cress (Thorne?) in a medically induced coma because they cant handle her.

Chapter 24 of Nothing Ventured, my rapidly lengthening Chilaios fic, is up now! Featuring a pillowcase full of potatoes, Marcille and Chilchuck's friendship, and bread. I'd hoped to get through the treasure insects with this chapter, but the story just keeps growing (no one is complaining, I know).

No major content warnings for this chapter. There's some fantasy racism, consistent with previous chapters.

Me when I hear about an amazing book getting adapted into a movie knowing there's a 99 percent chance of it being absolutely awful (I can't interfere, it's a canon event)
