on one hand I'm kinda like....duh what are y'all so upset about, we been knew. but on the other hand...thinking about what it would take to pick yuri on ice back up again now that it's been officially put down, kinda makes my heart hurt. I don't know if there's ever going to be a path forward for this series that had so much potential left.
Mostly, I'm annoyed with the announcement. Really vague language about unspecified circumstances. I wish they would be straight with it because there are numerous reasons that could've contributed to the decision not to move forward. The prevalence of Russian skaters, the issues with and reorganization of the studio, the amount of time that's passed and the acquisition of more relevant projects. But I guess there's less to talk about and less blowback the less you say? Or maybe just not enough people care anymore.
I don't feel like we're missing anything with what we have exactly, so I've never been that cut up about the show not continuing. but no other piece of media has ever meant as much to me as yoi does. probably a lot of that is how much space is left in the story for more. I don't know, I don't feel like I should be upset but I'm feeling upset man. Just a little bit of silly grief for my favorite media of all time being unceremoniously cancelled....
after 5 years of radio silence tho so like, what did we expect. it's been over.
#yoi#yuri on ice#yuri!!! on ice#i was never that excited for ice ado im gonna be honest#so that probably contributes to my meh attitude#i always wanted a season 2#but this is kind of the nail in the coffin for that too so#my heart kinda hurts yall#what's that about#I'm really not trying to be dramatic about it#but it's kind of like the air in the room just changed a little#i know we were being strung along but#now it's like we're out on our own#now it's like#officially a thing of the past#and we'll always only be looking backwards#kinda weird#i don't like it#but oh well i guess....#i wish i could stop feeling sad

White No-Face may be a powerful villain but he is wrong about one important aspect of his whole supremefying Xie Lian plan.
"[...] Who knows if he'll still want to be with you when he sees what you'll become."
Hua Cheng would be devastated. Of course he would be, knowing exactly what horrors his beloved had to go through in the Kiln. E-ming would literally flood Ghost City with tears! But leave him?!????!??? If Xie Lian emerged from that mountain unchained and furious, brimming with corrupted heavenly power, a Calamity of unheard of caliber, you know how Hua Cheng would cope with that? By getting on his knees and tying his hair back.
#do not underestimate how much of a god tier simp this man is#ânooo gege.... don't take bloody revenge on everyone who has ever wronged you....â#âgege noooo... don't use my body to vent your frustrations... haha.... unless...?â#white no face#be fr girl#heaven official's blessing#tian guan ci fu#tgcf#tgcf spoilers#xie lian#hua cheng#hualian#he would still love him if he was a worm#or an eldritch monstrosity#same difference#i've only just read past this in book 6 so PLEEEAAASE don't spoil things in the rbs

General students of Darkwick + Jin theory
Clarification: What's up with the general student populace at Darkwick? I'm pretty sure the answer is that they aren't ghouls in any way based on the fact sorting of new ghoul students is a big deal and 'sways power' in the beginning, and there's also this huge plot-point about the discrimination ghoul students face. But going back and reading some of the prologue chapters where the PC is first learning about Darkwick made me sort of curious about it. Reading the newest Mortkranken chapter, it's clear that there are general populace students going out to deal with anomalies frequently enough that they might need treatment for injuries and curses. But if they aren't ghouls, are they just recon? How are general education students allowed in? It's said Darkwick is super 'competitive' at one point but with what we know about Darkwick in general that's at best a loose-truth. Also, looking specifically at Frostheim for this- a lot of them are upper echelon students. Fair enough that there are plenty who come from different backgrounds, but isn't it funny that so many of them come from families in places of power and privilege? Are these families directly funding anomaly research?
Another point, less related to general students: isn't it crazy that Jin, the son of the guy running the whole Darkwick branch in Japan, just happens to have become a ghoul? I mean, maybe it's just a coincidence (because if Yuri's explanation of demon compatibility is to be believed, he just happened to not be allergic to demon dust) but that's pretty fucked up circumstantially speaking. They're already in a position of power, but what if it was something they wanted to make concrete? His mother died of mental illness, and his relationship with his father is strained. Was his father using his own family as test subjects for anomalous research? Did Jin make a deal with a demon because his father was pressuring it, or because maybe he wanted to save his mother (though he ultimately failed). If the stigma each ghoul gets is based off a desire they had, and Jin's stigma is the authority to force commands, what's more desirable to the heir of a powerful institution? How old was he when he even made the pact? Was he a kid who just wanted control, or was it a want drilled into him from a young age?
#just some thoughts#but that's just a theory#a game theory#tokyo debunker#tkdb#tdb#jin kamurai#spoilers#tokyo debunker spoilers#I'm glad they've elaborated on the whole demon pact thing#but I still have sooooo many questions#considering darkwicks possible corruption#I wouldn't put it past the guy running it to be corrupt as well#there's just something real suspicious about withholding information#not just in the case of the individual#like for the player character#but also on a mass scale#only the powerful upper class of society knows about anomalies#at least officially anyways#and isn't that just too convenient?#it's the easiest way to make the powerful more powerful still#no matter how you spin it

Staying alive - Dante and his s/o
It works, you can't tell me otherwise!
Devil May Dance - Stayin' Alive, by Bee Gees
Pairing: Dante x Reader
Summary: Oh, hellish imps. One of your least favorite demons. It doesn't help that they managed to chain you to a chair at the local Disco - luckily, Dante will surely be there to save the day. And to dance.
Author's Note: I friggin' love this song, thanks so much anon for throwing this with Dante here, it works like a charm!! I almost screamed when I saw it xD My mom is a HUGE Bee Gees fan, so I listen to their songs all the time since I was born hahahaha
I've been writing this one since you guys sent me the songs, but as I mentioned before, my health got in the way as always. I'm managing my energy and a bunch of personal issues that appeared the last couple of months, so I decided to finish this one and focus on the Halloween specials of this year! Fret not, though. I'm keeping all your suggestions and I'll write them - it's just gonna take longer than I expected "^^ Also, there's a throwback here to a very special Devil May Dance, hope you guys like it!
youtube
Well, out of all the situations you could have found yourself in, that would be your most unexpected one.
It was a stupid mistake, really. A step in a wrong place, a weaker grip on your sword, a miscalculated attack from an enemy. When you least expected, there you were, caught by a bunch of hellish imps, tied to a chair on the local Disco in town, of all places.
With the imps, well, imping around as all those annoying little creatures used to do.
They were one of your least favorite types of demons, that you had to be honest with yourself.
âYou know, if you keep doing that, youâre gonna end up breaking it, stupid little thing.â You said with a sigh, head boringly held by one of your hands.
âSays the big bad devil hunter tied to a chair!â The imp taunted back, still smacking the amplifier. You could kick it into oblivion and make it fly to the next country without a plane, but with those chains you were really useless. You sighed again.
âThatâs an amp, you buffoon. Its purpose is to amplify sound, if you want something to happen, you have to put some music on, jerk.â Yes, Vergilâs vocabulary got to you â then again, the best way to describe those demons was âbuffoonâ. Vergilâs colorful vocabulary did have a purpose.
âBlah blah blah â talking too much for someone in your situation!â The room exploded in a bunch of high-pitched devilish laughs and you could only roll your eyes.
âHonestly, I hope that thing breaks and electrifies you. That will serve you as a lesson, you moron.â
As if words had power, the thing immediately broke on the hellish imp hands and sent a wave of electrifying shock through its body â making it shake viciously and drop the thing immediately as it fell to the ground with the tongue sticking out of the mouth and mumbling something while unconscious. The other imps stared at you as you smiled with pride â as if you had actually done something.
âTold ya.â You perked on your chair, looking as proud as you could in that situation. Your weapons were tossed on the other side of the room â and you had already gone through the suffering of watching those buffoons playing around with your stuff until they got bored. âKeep messing around and youâll all end up dead by stupidity.â
Suddenly, a very well-known bass line started playing â followed by a guitar, a set of lights dancing around the club and the colorful squares on the ground starting their own choreography. You raised one eyebrow, trying to understand what was going on and, really, why the Disco started functioning all of a sudden.
âWOOOHOOOOOO!!!!â Until you saw an imp at the sound booth, messing with a bunch of wires, spinning on one of the office chairs â that definitely didnât belong to the DJ.
Well you can tell by the way I use my walk Iâm a womanâs man, no time to talk Music loud and women warm, Iâve been kicked around Since I was born
Well, well, there it was. Stayinâ Alive. Quite fitting, if you had to say, given your situation. Quite ironic too â and if Destiny really was a humanoid entity, you wanted to have a serious talk to it, because why in all hells it had to be joking around with you that much?
âAnd now itâs alright, itâs ok, and you may look the other wayâŚâ You started muttering the lyrics, lightly tapping your foot on the colorful ground. If that song didnât remind you of your red devil, you didnât know what would.
Smiling to yourself, you forgot the imps for a while. You could almost see Dante at the Devil May Cry, barefoot on a lazy Saturday, dancing around the floor of the shop while you giggled at his huge desk. He had some great moves and was definitely showing off now that he had someone to dance to â you were reading, comfortably settled on his big chair, until the jukebox started playing Bee Gees and Dante couldnât stop himself from dancing.
You didnât last long with your book though: your red devil grabbed your hands, leading you to the center of the shop; your very own dance floor. You never really talked much about that with Dante, but you were quite certain he didnât have many opportunities to go out dancing and have fun â even if he was the most fun-loving guy you had ever met in your life. He was a Sparda, after all, and you knew how much Dante avoided being around people so he wouldnât put them in any sort of danger. You could almost see him dancing alone at the Devil May Cry for so many years â probably watching Saturday Night Fever on that sorry old television of his, copying Travoltaâs moves and learning it all only to have fun⌠By himself. But now, he had a partner to share that with â and you could see in the brightness of his smile how much Dante enjoyed it.
Both of you waited a whole lifetime to start enjoying the things you had dreamed about for so long.
You snapped out of your golden memories, though, when you heard a shot and a loud sound of something falling on the ground. Furrowing your brows, you looked to the other side of the room and, lo and behold, those hellish pestering things were messing with your stuff again while prancing around to the sound of disco music.
That was something you never thought you would see in your life.
âOi, put that down! Youâll end up breaking it!â You pointed at the imps joking around with your guns, but they only made funny faces and flipped you back as a response. You just stared at them with contempt in your face, having almost no expression but a very annoyed one. âI swear, Iâm gonna hang you all by your feet when I get rid of these shackles, you fucking clowns.â
Among the laughs and the music, though, another shot rang outside the club. No one really cared about it, until the door burst open because the imps outside were yeeted in â flying through the dance floor while screaming, stamping the wall of the stage right across the club and leaving a trail of blood on it as it fell dead to the floor.
Looking at the door, you couldnât help but shake your head and smile. Bathed in the dancing lights of the Disco, Dante strutted in â sword resting on his shoulders, arms open while his free hand held one of his guns.
âEy, you guys started the party without me?â He stopped after taking a few steps in, illuminated by the twinkling lights on the floor and the ceiling â that cocky smile plastered on his lips.
Oh, you loved that man. So much. How couldnât you?
âWouldnât call this a party when I canât dance.â You showed him your foot chained to the chair â and you could see in those sky-blue eyes, a sort of compassion mixed with love and a little bit of pity; crowned by his endeared but still convinced smile.
âNo worries, babe, your manâs here to help you.â With a wink, Dante skillfully glided through the dance floor, shooting some imps on the way. They tried to block the man, but he swept the floor with the demons with a swift move from his sword, back to his shoulder with a flowy movement. âGot the wings of Heaven on my shoes, Iâm a dancinâ man and I just canât lose!â
You had to laugh at how happy Dante looked while gliding his feet on the colorful squares on the ground, spinning around to hit a couple more imps who tried to get to him. Facing you, Dante winked one more time, now keeping his sword on place and dual wielding Ebony and Ivory.
One step to the right, a shot at a flying imp. One step to the left, a shot at another devil who tried to run towards him. Keeping the groove, Dante spun again doing his old trick of shooting around the club and hitting multiple enemies at once â you ducked and covered your head, still laughing at his antics. Spinning his guns in his hands, Dante coordinated his steps, the beat of the song and the shots being fired.
Ah â shot â ah â shot â ah â shot â ah â shot â stayinâ alive, stayinâ alive â and a little pause for a choreography as he faced you, as if Dante was putting on a show for you only.
âWoohoo, get âem, cowboy!â You had to. Dante usually had fun while fighting, but not like he was having today â itâs not like it was a difficult or life-threatening fight, so he could afford being a lot more playful and goofy.
And you had to love goofy Dante.
A couple more shots, and the imps surrounding him were all but stunned, laying on the floor while recovering for the next round. So, Dante did what he did best.
âStayinâ aliiiiiiiiiiiiiveeeeeeeeâŚâ Singing out loud, shaking his hips, and pointing around only to finish the phrase pointing at you.
And of course, he had to be even more over the top. As the demons got up from the floor â helping each other, fighting each other, trying to stand and walk a straight line â Dante started to walk towards you in the rhythm of the song, shaking his hips with every step only to accentuate even more every beat, as if he was a cowboy who had just laced you and now was approaching his bounty.
âPffffft, youâre ridiculously campy, cowboyâŚâ You couldnât help but slightly flush, hiding your face on the hand you previously leaned on while completely bored. Well, you couldnât say you were bored anymore.
âGuilty of all charges, sheriff!â As he approached, one imp tried to get him from behind only to be kicked on the face and thrown into oblivion by Danteâs strength in the process â those sky-blue eyes never left you, though, as well as the playful smile on his lips. âYou can arrest me and throw away the key!â
âHmmm, I might keep these chains then. Maybe I can tie you to our bed when we get home.â You had to tease him back, or it wouldnât be you and Dante. You saw a sparkle of both fun and desire inside his eyes, as Dante let out a delighted laugh â and kicked another demon on the face.
âHa! Now thatâŚ!â And he had to let the choreography down for a couple of seconds to turn around and shot a few more demons â spinning his dual guns in his hands before doing so, and once more to put them back into their place â but quickly turning back to you; resting one of his hands on the back of your chair, leaning down so his eyes would be leveled to yours. âIs somethinâ Iâd love to try, sheriff. You can tie me up and love me any day, sugar.â
You wouldâve quipped back if Dante hadnât used his free hand to cup the back of your neck and pull you into a quite loving kiss â given the situation you found yourselves into. The demons were still trying to get back in shape, now that some of them had run away and some others were still insisting on keeping the Disco to themselves, but with Dante around⌠You didnât have to care about demons that much.
âFirst, letâs cut you lose, shall we?â He still had that playful tone in his voice as he let go of your lips, but as Dante kneeled on the floor to see the shackles, his eyes turned to you with nothing but care in them. âBe careful, Imma cut it down, ok?â
You nodded with certainty and kept your feet together, straining the chains as much as you could so Dante could easily cut it with his sword and not fear hurting you in the process.
âAnd⌠Youâre set free, babe.â Of course, he had to use that sultry tone he always did whenever he decided to use Lucifer or Faust while sparring with you.
And you wouldâve paid more attention to that, if it wasnât for your sheer and rather intense joy of being cut from those chains.
âAh, freedom, at last!â You got up in a jump, making him laugh with how happy you were. âNow! Whoâs the first one Iâm gonna hang from the ceiling, huh?!â You had your hands on your hips, staring at the imps with such a deranged fire some of them actually screamed in terror and tumbled away, flying for their lives through the smashed door.
âWill ya look at that!â Dante clapped while laughing, watching as only a few demons remained to try to stand their ground. âIâve never seen you scaring so many demons at once!â
âSee? Iâm learning!â You proudly strutted towards your gear on the other side of the room, mirroring the little show Dante put on for you before. He just stood there, hands on his hips, gladly watching you dance. âGotta thank Vergil for being such a great example!â
âOh, bet heâs gonna love hearing that!â With a laugh, Dante punched an imp who tried to get him by surprise â now flying away to hit another couple of demons who inadvertently tried to follow. âBut hey, keep on shakinâ those hips like that, hot stuff, I might have to one up ya.â
You let out a mischievous giggle in response, now feeling even more motivated to let yourself loose on the dance floor. While checking your guns â making sure they were in one piece, all bullets where they should be, no damages â you kept moving to the rhythm, singing the lyrics you knew so well.
Dante crossed his arms, gladly watching the show you were putting on â now casually hooking your guns to your holsters and moving to check on your sword. The imps gathered together, blabbering around like screeching minions, preparing a supposedly devastating attack with all their forces combined to bring both of you down â but Dante couldnât care less. He had a delighted smile on his lips, arms still crossed and tapping one of his feet on the floor to the beat of the song, barely holding himself still.
He guessed his lifetime of bad luck was to compensate for the one moment in his life where you appeared â out of nowhere, in the middle of a job, covered in demon blood and spite. That was the luckiest Dante had ever been and he could see that happening as all the luck he never really had.
Who couldâve guessed that after all that hell that he called his existence you out of all people would find him â and see him? Someone with a heart of gold, a soul of steel, a spirit like fire and kindness like water; who would challenge him but also complement him in all the perfect ways Dante could have never imagined.
Watching you dancing while strapping your sword on your back like he always did, turning around to wink at him and shake your hips from side to side to the beat of the song, raising your arms above your head and closing your eyes while smiling⌠You were better than any dream. You were his partner, his sheriff, his lover. He only wished he couldâve had an entire lifetime with you in it.
âHoo, is it me or itâs gettin��� hotter in here, babeâŚ?â With those words from his lips, you opened your eyes once more, trying to read what he was about to do when Dante took his sword from its holster and left it on a table.
âDanteâŚ!â You immediately widened your eyes as he started stripping off his coat while making the most obnoxious and campy stripping dance you could have ever seen.
âWhatâŚ?â Of course, being the man he was, Dante feigned innocence. You just pointed back at him â blushing like the first layers of Hell, but with a radiant smile on your lips. Honestly, he lived just to see that sight every time you decided to grace him with it. Dante would never tire to see you smile so genuinely.
âThere are hellish imps here, red devil. Have some decorum.â Again. Vergilâs vocabulary had its purpose â and when it came to his twin brother, you had to admit colorful words were the best you could do to try to voice some of your exasperated feelings.
âOh, you thinkinâ Iâm gonna take it all off?â Dante pointed at himself with his free hand, his coat hanging on the other hand. He let out a hearty laugh right after. âHa! You are gonna have to work for that, sheriff!â
You had to fall into a fit of laughter as Dante started spinning his coat on the air only to throw it away dramatically, going back to his best Saturday Night Fever dance. You didnât know if you wanted to melt through the floor into oblivion from embarrassment or if you wanted to get into the challenge. Therefore, laughing was the only choice available, really.
You had to note, though, that the embarrassment only came from having an audience â you could still hear the imps arguing and wondered if they would end up killing each other in disagreement â because if you were both alone at the Devil May Cry⌠Dante would have the dance-off of a lifetime after that taunt.
âWhether youâre a brother or whether youâre a mother, youâre stayinâ alive, stayinâ alive!â You decided, even if feeling a little awkward, to mirror Danteâs dancing â pointing at him while singing, finally strutting towards your red devil.
You had your whole life to kill demons â dancing with your lover, though, was a lot more important in your book.
âFeel the city breakinâ and everybody shakinâ, and weâre stayinâ alive, stayinâ alive!â Dante pointed back at you, ready to meet you in the middle. Those lyrics, though, they were quite fitting to both of you â with everything you had to go through on a daily basis, somehow, you always remained alive. Together.
There was some kind of poetry in that. At least in Danteâs point of view.
As the famous riff sang its lyrics, you finally reached each other, starting a perfectly synchronized choreography you both invented during a boring afternoon at the shop â which ended up being not so boring after all. With you dancing while perfectly mirroring him, Dante couldnât help but have the brightest and most delighted smile on his lips â his face lighting up like the sun, barely noticing he was laughing from enjoying that moment.
The most mirroring he ever got was from a shadow doppelganger at the Temen-ni-gru â and that thing was hell bent on killing him with his own powers and tricks. Now dancing? That was a first. Something he had only seen on movies like Footloose or Grease, something he thought he would only have in the realm of daydreams. Oh, how he loved turning those into reality with you.
âReadyâŚâ Of course, you both were very much aware you werenât alone - the imps weren't as subtle as they thought they were. Your lives were made mostly of stolen moments like that, but it was something you would never complain about. Better to have those moments than to have nothing at all â and the imps were about to steal it away from you. Looking into those sky-blue eyes, you saw Danteâs typical spark and his smart smile on his lips, winking at you as soon as he understood what your eyes were saying. âNOW! ATTACK!â
âIâm stayinâ alive!â You and Dante sang out loud â if you could call that kind of shouting singing â as you spun on the colorful floor, taking one of your guns from your holsters. You ended up with your backs to each other, your arm by his arm, pointing the guns at the demons at the same time. âLetâs rock!â
The imps expected everything but the rain of bullets. They planned a massive attack, all of them at the same time, and still you and Dante made their forces seem like nothing but a wave of hungry mosquitoes during summer â and that because you were each holding only one of your guns.
They could barely get near you before realizing they wouldnât be able to make it in one piece. The attack was a failure and the best option they had â for those left alive anyway â was to run. You and Dante kept shooting, hitting bullseye with every quick shot. They first screamed as a battle roar, but now they screeched in terror, fleeing from every broken door and window of the Disco â until there were only you and the red devil left.
âWell, guess we showed âem a lesson.â You sighed, relief washing down your spine while you put your gun back into its holster. Dante did the same, but you barely waited for him to look back to you. âThanks for the rescue, cowboy. It was worthy of Bonnie Tylerâs Holding Out For a Hero.â
âAh, donât mention itâŚâ But you cut his dismissive words short with a kiss.
It was intended to be a quick kiss â the types of kisses you would always use to shut him up whenever Dante started self-deprecating or playing down how much he was worth â but soon you wanted more. Stepping closer to him, you didnât let his lips go, resting your hands on his chest while Dante, even if surprised at first, immediately laid his on your hips. The song was still going, and you both still had the fire to keep dancing, but you could take a few moments to enjoy that kiss with more heart than you intended at first.
You had every intention, though, to keep it going for as long as you could â Danteâs lips were too wonderful to be half-appreciated â but as Stayinâ Alive found its last chords, another song seamlessly started to let its golden beats and delightful guitar color the place with new rhythms and notes. Apparently, the DJ imp had figured out how to keep the whole collection of disco songs playing â and you couldnât complain about that.
âHeyâŚâ You parted the kiss abruptly, mirroring Danteâs smile from also recognizing the song. âItâs our song, cowboy!â
You held Danteâs hand, pulling him even further into the dance floor, while he let his head hang back with a laugh at the words he never thought he would hear in that damned life of his. Stepping closer to you, he spun you around only to catch you in his arms, dancing together the same way you used to dance at the Devil May Cry â you both giggling and singing to each other.
âDo you remember? The 21st night of September?â Oh, yes. September. The song that wrapped you both in golden dreams and shiny days â the song Dante would always run to you to have you in his arms while singing, the one you would always search his hands to hold while dancing. The one Dante never thought he would be able to have with someone else.
Dante couldnât have another entire lifetime with you, but he could have that one â and even better than that: you could have that song together. Your song.
He could get used to the sound of that alright.

I LIKE these characters and some of this story is very near and dear to my heart#Iâm also not saying everything I didnât like is a writing flaw#and in fact a lot of the things I didnât like I think should stay there just get meaningfully addressed#but good godddddddddd itâs upsetting to see a story I cared abt sm & I leaned on during some shit end like this#whatever.#I havenât even actually been keeping up besides looking at the spoilers for years now#itâs not like Iâm gonna stop thinking abt the version that lives in my head. itâs just a shame about the official ending thatâs all.#at the end of the day Iâm not the author horikoshi is and thatâs how he chose to end his story.

I don't know what I love more, the fact that as rook you can make a statement in NO uncertain terms that you are NOT responsible one way or the other for the theological implications of the shit you're discovering in the 'regrets of the dread wolf' memories. not my jurisdiction. quite simply none of my business. not my chantry circus not my chantry monkeys. irrelevant to the matter at hand here we'll kill that god if we get to him he can get in line. or if the best thing about it is seeing the lone little 'lucanis approves' that pops up right after choosing it. corvid with a knife about to commit deicide keeping it real and sensibly, pragmatically, wilfully agnostic with me here in this magical lighthouse today

QuanYin Week 2024 - Day 1: Kids
I absolutely adore the QuanYin twins I made with @neyliaart for the last quanyin event earlier this year đđđ So I had to show them off again for this week đ
Yin Yueshi and Yin Rishi (also known as being the literal copy and paste of Quan Yizhen Ă2) and all together they make a big happy and very chaotic family đ¨âđŠâđ§âđŚ
#quanyin week 2024#quanyin#quan yizhen#yin yu#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#mxtx#kid ocs#yin yueshi#yin rishi#the double eclipse au#bored knight#they really said copy and paste qyz#yy is surrounded by all the fluffy hair#the only thing yy contributed to his children is his eye color#qyz got the stronger genes lol#as always thank you Neylia for your help creating the bundles of joy đŤś

The cave of a thousand gods reveal in TGCF is honestly so terrifying and itâs written in a way thatâs supposed to make you fear HC in the same way that MQ and FX is so terrified of HC being XLâs longest standing stalker. But then you reel TGCF all the way back to the start, from XL saving HC from falling from that bridge, but also him giving HC the will to live when he wanted to die, then yk maybe itâs kinda a no brainer that when HC is at his worst (mentally and physically) at Tonglu mountains, that he would find refuge in 1) art, and 2) the person whom he admires most and swears to return to. The entire narrative of TGCF is so dramatically determined by the narrator that sometimes itâs hard to even realise how harrowing and difficult it was for HC to survive mount Tonglu the first time, and that the those statues and paintings were also probably a coping mechanism for a soul desperately hanging on to what good is left in their world, rather than simply pure obsession.
#i will admit i thoguht that part was creepy as fuck#but mxtx is so very intentional with how she writes that scene#the point of all of it was that XL sees past how weird it is and accept HCâs love anyways because thereâs so many things yet to be said#and also cuz XL is supposedly very forgiving and wise#tgcf#tian guan ci fu#tgcf spoilers#hualian#hua cheng#xie lian#heaven officialâs blessing#meap meta

I love pako, but I hate that because they draw darker skin characters, which are great and are among my favorite characters/designs in fate (see my blog), people just kinda use that to shut up your criticism or shift blame instead of expecting them to do better
#i know ive engaged in it in the past as well but i just kinda learned more#and i joked about the whole thing being h*yo's fault but it's not even officially by h*yo#it was a friend of theirs (pako) asking them to draw the art#like it's whatever but how people have been saying 'see pako has drawn xyz character so shut up about how you feel about this art'#is not cool#this is more venting after thinking about things over the years

reminders for myself every time i open up the honeybee writing document
#trrrrrrying to get myself back in the 'write at least a sentence a day' habit. still not fully back but i've plotted out a few more things#so i have direction#debating whether or not i try a small nanowrimo sort of challenge. on one hand while i don't always hit my goals short challenges DO get me#to make things which is a success in and of itself. also november is a good time bc usually i attempt some sort of oc-tober in october#BUT on the other hand the official nanowrimo ai bullshit has me not really wanting to associate with that#i could just. do a writing challenge during november and not call it nanowrimo or smthin i guess#i mean it's not like i've done anything in official capacity in years past w nano so. whatever#also debating if i start participating in wip wednesdays on this blog and posting writing snippets but i'm. mmm#if i do a writing challenge i will to hold myself some degree of accountable. but i'm truthfully just insecure in my ability to write prose#behind the scenes

i redrew one of my favorite scenes from the novel! they're literally so silly. it's comedy central out here in puqi shrine
#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#xie lian#hua cheng#nan feng#tgcf comic#tgcf fanart#me đ¤ hua cheng: liking it when xie lian is mean#i just love that xie lian knows his cooking is bad and actively weaponizes it against ppl lmao#this is from the end of ch 29 (of whichever fan tl i found) btw!#i refuse to acknowledge past mistakes and so i got more than 3/4ths of the way through this thing without reading the og scene at all. so.#<- has done this before and ended up making huge lore-related errors#also im gonna take this opportunity to complain: hands are so fucking hard wtf. i used references for that closeup and it STILL killed me#i looked at my thumbnails while inking and put my head in my hands
