Hmmmm.... yk what I was thinking of a few days ago? Carrots, carrots are good for your body and help regulates your blood pressure. I love carrots so much, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. I always thought hye sun or any sun rays looked like carrots, like get one ray and then put a small heart-shaped green paper cut-out above it, then I'm fully convinced its a carrot I might as well be convinced even without the paper cut-out. Nom, nom.

ough that's such a cute idea, i had to doodle it real quick

Cheng Fengjie is really such a funny character because he's got people throwing themselves to him left and right. everyone wants to fuck him so bad. but he's turning them down because good sex is too predictable and he'd rather have bad sex with a guy who has no idea what he's doing because that's more interesting. it's the reverse of the trope of having a one night stand that's so good you want to keep doing it. it's so bad he's got to try that again. poster child of wanting to put a man under a microscope to study him. no one else has ever been so thoroughly charmed by a man absolutely failing at everything as cheng fengjie is with wang xinjia. if the sex had been good, he would not have been half as interested in keeping wang xinjia

seen more than a couple posts recently laughing about lucanis' "like a kiss goodbye" line and how it's downright comical coming from him and how can illario not have jumped on that with all the sibling teasing???

(which is all accurate to a point and p funny, don't get me wrong)

but i think there's a point being missed there: lucanis is, in the most of the scene but especially the beginning, very much treating rook as an employer-slash-coworker who happens to be helping him deal with his zara "contract".

elsewhere spite says there's three kinds of people in his worldview: family, enemies, contracts. rook is just a contract at that point. it's still early in his personal quest, he hasn't had the time or the opportunity yet to see how rook really breaks those nice little boxes of compartmentalization. there are ways these kinds of meetings are supposed to go.

so he flirts, he's charming, because that's what is expected of him as a crow. this is a skill he's observed, and been taught, and learned from others, and can deploy easily when it doesn't mean anything. it's enjoyable to keep banter going with rook later in the conversation because it's banter, there's a rhythm to it that he can work with.

when it matters, when it's with someone he actually cares about, when it's real, you can tell. comparing coffee to a kiss goodbye? that's nothing. that's just rote small talk, meant to put a client at ease and endear them to lucanis. and illario would know that too.

I love making weird things and solving problems and pushing materials to their limit. I like making new things.

the minute it gets easy I just Stop. No longer interested. no matter how important or profitable it is, my brain just doesn't want to do it if we've already figured out how. It's like torture. We go into shutdown mode if I try to make us.

Hmm, either things really Change, or this is them once more extending big checks they have no intention of paying.

With Eddie, same as we've been saying, that they better lay Shannon's ghost to rest for real this time and we'll have to wait and see how it goes with Chris.

Buck... it really is about bringing up his abandonment issues but with a heavy dose of Buck seen/treated as a Giant Manchild Who Always Makes Things About Himself (how novel! how fun!), and to top it off now he doesn't even have a place of his own anymore. Which leaves them in an awkward place.

If Eddie comes back with Chris, Buck can't stay there without courting trouble with fandom; same if Eddie comes back alone. That would leave Buck doing Couch Surfing Redux until... who knows. Or maybe the loft will have conveniently remained free!

If Eddie doesn't come back, then Buck is back to status quo just minus a BFF and having changed a loft for a house.

And again the question is, where is this all leading Buck? the deeper they press on the bruise, the more... evident the healing that must occur afterwards.

After this episode it isn't any more or less likely that Bucktommy will reunite, but in my opinion it's even more necessary that they do.

Because with Buck what they're poking at is: abandonment issues, adulthood/responsibility, and family/home.

None of that is new.

But doing that after Buck's 'most transformative relationship' ended in such a premature and open way, then displacing him from his home of 6 years... that demands a resolution, an evolution.

And seriously, sincerely, how tf do you do that without reuniting him with Tommy? Tommy who not for nothing, has been the one character who consistently has indulged Buck's whimsy and also noticed and taken his concerns seriously (I don't need to list examples, do I).

So this has been on my mind for a bit, but I wonder if most paralive fans (the ones that can vote that is) vote on battles based on what song/group they think sounds the best rather than the contents of the story. It may not explain everything, but it definitely explains SOME things if true (more specifically the 1st gen rtl battles (bc the 2nd gen groups were still very new)).
