Despite the eleventh-century economic boom, the Song dynasty's endless war against the Khitans on the northern frontier was a constant financial drain and the emperors kept looking for new ways to pay their bills. Consequently, when in 1115 the "Wild Jurchens" of Manchuria offered to help fight the Khitans, Emperor Huizong eagerly accepted (Figure 8.2).

Only in 1141 did a frontier settle down between the Jurchens, now ruling northern China, and a much-reduced Song state based at Hangzhou.*
*Historians normal divide the Song period into the Northern Song phase (960-1127), when the dynasty ruled most of China from Kaifeng, and a Southern Song phase (1127-1279), when it ruled only southern China from Hangzhou.

I can debunk the fuck out of this because I have been posting a story a day, every day, since early 2013. My audience engagement has been minimal at best.
I went to the trouble of doing an audio podcast where I read some of those stories, released once a week, until the 'Rona destroyed my ability to can.
I've posted serialised versions of an alpha draft of a book I'm writing... and guess what? NOTHING.
Oh, and some of those aforementioned daily stories turned into a novel of its own... and I don't get very many buyers or any kind comments about it.
I've been trying very hard to have a writing career by all the means I have that fit my budget [$0 BTW] since 2013. Including the one that insists the world will notice you're doing a thing if you do it for ten years.
I'd like to have an audience. I'd like to have an income. I'd really like both. So what am I doing wrong that gets me nothing and nowhere? Where can I find my like-minded peers?
I really want to know where they are. They haven't found me. How can I find them?
YOU! 🫵 ONLINE INDIE AUTHOR!
Have you considered simply posting your story online for free?
If you widen your scope of awareness beyond the realm of books, most natively online creators (your favourite YouTubers and podcasters, webcomics, Homestuck, etc.) have something they initially made for free.
When you publish a book, you’re left sitting there waiting and fretting, you see purchases and a few reviews, but you don’t get a lot of reader reaction.
Whereas, if you were to post a chapter at a time online for free, you can see people keeping up with it, you get live reactions, it’s a much more interactive, more communal experience.
If your background is fanfiction, you already have experience doing this!
If you’re expecting a handful of sales per month and that income isn’t vital to you, you might be trading the lion’s share of the enjoyment of writing for the price of a few cups of coffee.
If you have a serious commitment to making writing your career and your source of income, this post isn’t about you. I’m talking to those who look into yourselves and find your goal is to have your writing read and shared, and to participate in a community of like-minded peers
I think online writing communities would be so much healthier if there was more separation between hobby and commercial writing, and authors didn’t feel pressured to go professional. 
People are taking a risk by reading your book, gambling on the time and effort they put in being worthwhile, and that risk becomes way lower when the book is free.

My new favorite excuse for not jumping on new trends or bandwagons is 'I'm 30.' No more explanation needed because anyone under 30 just thinks I'm old and everyone over 30 understands implicitly

I'm literally so obsessed with the fact that Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu married the most extreme versions of each other
like, I'm pretty sure that people have already brought this up, but Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe have the same, "I'm just a little guy, you wouldn't hurt a little guy, would you?" pathetic, pitiful, crybaby aura (even though Binghe is a lot more selective with it lol)
and Shen Qingqiu and Mobei-Jun are icy beauty, rich, dense, spoiled brats that both go insane over (1) pitiful hamster man (for different reasons, but still)
I feel like if they didn't fucking die and get transmigrated, they could've had a cute assholes to assholes but lovers arc :<

Demon Twins :)
'Pinetree' and 'Shooting-star' are my versions of Dipper and Mabel from my Twin Dimensional au!
If anyone's interested in it here are the basics:
The beginning takes place a little after the portal is completed, and Bill and Ford's argument (breakup).
The twins were created after the atom of Bills Dimension was split in half. I am unsure exactly how this happens yet, but Ford and the Axolotl have a direct part in it.
Now that Bill is no longer the only Euclidean, and he's a dad- things change. The portal is no longer a priority, the twins are.
How will this affect the rest of the timeline? Not sure! But I'm excited to figure it out. Be on the look out for more stuff about my au if you're interested!
Ps. Bill can see out of the eye on Dippers hat, and hear through Mabel's earrings :)
