Do you remember that BioWare Blog Post BioWare Community Update: Writing Our Worlds

I have guesses about the two redacted codices. One I've already mentioned in one of my asks, but I'm going to stick them under the cut for spoilers. But I think, the first two codices of datv we saw were from Emmrich and Taash.

I think this one is Emmrich because we know he was written by Sylvia and this codex is credited to her. And same with the second one, Taash's writer is Trick Weekes and we know they wrote the second one.

Transcript:

Misconceptions about the Necropolis No one has more respect for Brother Genitivi's scholarship than I, but his writing on Nevarra details very little of the practices of the Grand Necropolis. The more I travel, the more I'm convinced these elisions have led to unfortunate conclusions by people of less than generous imagination. For example: we do not "lock up" our dead to pound fruitlessly against their coffins in the dark. Our departed lie in peaceful state, or even wander! The undead tableaux are loving constructions, not "dress-up with corpses." And in the event a malign spirit causes a disturbance, we don't simply "thow them in a tomb and toss the key"! Sometimes I thik [redacted] crafts these questions to tease me. From [redacted]'s diary

Transcription:

[Redacted] Talks: Dragon—Vinsomer Appearance: Dark back and light underbelly. She's hard to see when underwater. Like those whales. Diet: Squid or those big worms that burrow near the shores. Uses her lightening to stun prey. Jaws are more like a beak. Good to grip squishy stuff or crack shells. I think the lightning also helps her see down in the deep water. She does little crackles before she strikes. Behavior: She's hunting more than she needs. She's also not attacking [redacted] unless they get close to her lair. Then she kills them fast. I think she has dragonlings. Must be trying to keep them fed and not look for fights. Only reason a dragon stays that quiet is to protect her kids.

Since we're talking about stench, I think Annie, Bert, and Reiner experienced a culture shock when it came to hygiene, right? They came from a modern society (I know hygiene back then wasn't the same as it is now), but by the 1930s, there were already soaps, showers, toothbrushes.....

I thik Annie wasn't overly paranoid about personal hygiene, but she did the minimum to stay clean, and that's great! But imagine living in a medieval society where soap is probably very expensive, showers only exist in noble cities, and people brush their teeth with salt and some herbs for fresh breath.

damn I feel u girl 🫤

(Plus: I didn't know that Paradis had showers until I watched Annie's OVA. Her being the only character in the series to take a shower means a lot to me.)

(the posts that talked about smell, 1 and 2)

Hmm, it's possible, but also depends on the conditions that allowed for better hygiene in Liberio! Personally I take a somewhat more pessimistic view about life in the Internment Zone as a whole where the only "good part" (if you can call it that) is that the families of Warrior candidates would be slightly better off than others.

So if we assume that RBA had better access of and awareness about hygiene, and then they arrived in Paradis to see that except for the Military establishments and inner districts, taking baths and showers was NOT common - then. Welp. WELP, yes, a big shock! We could also have a headcanon where it's actually important for shifters to somehow manage to have at least one shower post-transformation... something about regulating their body heat etc etc.

Anyway. Back to Paradis. RBA suffer a bit until they manage to get into military quarters. For Annie especially, if she's the kind of person to like the sensation of having a Squeaky Clean Bath (😏) then... I'm thinking she takes them as often as possible hahaha xD Maybe she also likes them for the time alone! Slipping into the shower and locking the door behind ensures she gets some time to just unwind from all her mission-related stresses and can also avoid nosy people (like Ymir) to just.... Let her be. Reiner doesn't matter, Bertholdt doesn't matter, her mission doesn't matter, it's just... Her and the water.

Ask and answer question: If Ciel had an older sister, how exactly would you imagine it?

I have made an oc that involves being older sister of Ciel. Originally she was supposed to be 16 when he was 10 but due to parents age gap…I changed it to 16 turning 17 with 13 turning 14 Ciel. I love your Twisted Wonderland/Black Butler verse cause it really helps me imagine more of Ciel’s character in Twisted Wonderland since my OC will also suddenly get to wonderland and me having a better idea of how these Phantomhive’s will more or so react and adjust. Like your fic, this happens after the whole twin shenanigans. I do have some ideas myself, but since your writing is much more detailed and advanced than mine as a minor. I think you could have a better analysis to Ciel’s character having an older sister cause you’ve been doing well writing his character.

I have also read how you have a mild case of tendonitis, (ao3 authors curse to me I’m afraid /j) I hope for you to get better and go back to doing the things you enjoy in that slow process mentioned. Please take your time. And thank you for writing a fic that had always lived in my head rent free as an idea, but into reality written on ao3. It always makes me feel a sense of emotion within every chapter :).

Sorry for this being a while! Life has been really busy for me. My hands are getting better, good luck with your fic!

Oh boy…Okay. So here goes nothing.

If Ciel had an older sister I would think she would be a honest to god mix of the three women in her life. Given that Yana Sensei likes to draw busty women, (Even Francis is shapely just not as much as Anne or some of the other women), I would think that she would have a flattering figure physically, and look more like Vincent or Claudia. Rule one of the characters seems to be "The father's look like the daughters, and the mothers and the sons share looks" and it's proven to be true in a lot of ways. Lizzie looks more like Alexis. Big bright eyes, rounder features. Where as Edward looks like his mother, more angled smaller eyes.

So the sister would have to be more of a physical resemblence to Vincent. Sharper looks, slightly narrowed. Her hair would be Vincents and I could see her wearing Rachel's style with braided bun in the back. Her eyes would probably be more akin to Vincent's as well but have her mother's cunning. Dress wise, I can see her mixing the three womens styles, with some vibrant colors from Aunt Ann in there, and more delicate colors from her mother.

Personality wise…Oh lord. Okay so from her mother she would have Rachel's teasing personality. She would normally play little tricks on her brothers, but also be kind to to them, espeically O!Ciel. I don't thik she would have her mother's ailment, but she might have some breathing problems. I can see it being allergies. She would have her mothers eyes, like her youngest brother. She could displine others just as strongly as her mother. From Anne, she could gain an understanding of how to flirt, but rejects Ann's veiw of the English Rose. She'd be wary of her Aunt's affections as she probably would notice that Ann still loved her father, and so would tend to be closer to Francis. She'd learn from Francis how to be a leader, someone who stood up for the right thing. Given that I think Francis was trained by her mother, she would become a sword figher, and a shooter thanks to her father, along with being a good hunter like her Aunt.

From her father, she would learn cunning, trickery, loyalty and love. She would be someone I could see devoting herself to her family whole heartedly and doing everything to protect them. From Dee she'd learn diplomatics, to cook, and other matters. I can easily see her being proud of her little brothers and always playing with Sebastian the dog. Edward and her have a good relationship and, as with Lizzie and R!Ciel (and O!Ciel) she would be his bethroded, since knowing Vincent he would want his daughter to be able to be close to her siblings, as well as be with someone he trusts. Vincent would have taught her the same way he taught the boys, though, I'm not sure if she would be the one to be the watchdog. Though I could see him training her just incase something happened to either of her brothers. She would probaby agree with her father about leaving the watchdog title should R!Ciel be unable to do the job and O!Ciel is forced to take it over. Though I can also see a situation where she could take it on in their stead.

Her relationship with the boys would be close. She would want O!Ciel to become the toy maker and scold R!Ciel for his comments to Lizzie. I can see her enjoying dresses and the like with Lizzie and the two playing together. With Edward she would play cricket with him and be as good as her Aunt was. I can see when they get scared or worried they come to her. She'd be tutored at home as they were, though I suspect he might have her either study at either a day school or at a girls boarding school. Though I suspect, like Lizzie, it would be more home schooling. If she was away I think that might be what could have saved her life. However if she was home, then she might have been injured and either sold like the twins, or found by Anne. Either way, I suspect she would have trauma from the situation. She would probably realize the difference between the twins and aid her brother in getting revenge, and also be a thorn in the side of Sebastian, since she wouldn't allow for anyone to harm her brother.

I think she would be a bit less naieve than O!Ciel is at times, but also I suspect she would try to get him back to that innocent boy and not want him to stain his hands. I highly suspect that with a sister there, there would be different outcomes. Would be an interesting relationship with Soma given they'd be friendly, and she would be close with the servants as well.

Not sure whatelse to add. T_T

But thank you for so many compliments.

who in mp100 do you think would have read homestuck/are aware of what it is. my moneys on serizawa (terminally online)

i have like genuinely analyzed this before. this is always the first thing i think of when i get into a new Thing.

teru. 100% loves vriska. something about the dynamic between vriska and aradia reminds me so much of him and shige respectively. the whole main character light/luck deal is very fitting to me. and considering mp100 came out in 2012 it would be the prime time for him to be into homestuck.

SERIZAWA AS WELL. EXCEPT UNLIKE TERU HE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING teru probably only hopped on like a year prior to the shows timeline. soething about szawa tells me he would really like wayward vagabond im not sure why. alot of the parts of "dont let one thing take control of your life" parts flew over his head but he enjoyed the story regardless. i think he finds much more enjoyment in it post canon and is DEFINITELY the one to get tome to finish reading it... speaking of tome

AS MUCH AS I LOVE TOME. WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL. VERY DEAR TO ME. i cant see her finishing it until way. way later. she'd start it with the promise of there being aliens, get bored right before the trolls are introduced and stop reading (the one guy walking away from diamonds image) then like way later on she overhears teru & szawa alking about it and the mention of aliens and is suddenly way more interested like. yeah i read some of it but there was no aliens ? and both teru and szawa are like How far did you read. she tells them they tell her she loses her shit and starts reading again. she loves terezi and probably lost her mind when snowman first showed up. i feel like if she wasnt so preoccupied with the trolls she would also really like jade. also she would LOOOOVE CLASSPECTING. love it.

POST CANON SHIGE TOTALLY WOULD TOO like out of curiosity and wanting to indulge in his friends interests he reads some of it and actually really likes it. i think he would see some of himself in egbert solely for that insane repression shit & being an uncracked egg but shige doesnt know that second part yet❤️❤️❤️. shige is the type of person to get into something for another person and kind of hover around slightly knowing the context and happy to indulge in someone whos talking about it. like you know how someones mom will watch a show with their kid and point out references to connect to them more. like that

THERES MORE BUT ICANT THIK OF ANY.trust

IPKKND S:1 Episode-2

Hey, you guys, did you miss me?

Kidding, I know nobody is reading these.

But if someone does in the future. Hi, cutie! I hope you're having fun.

Okay, then let's start with the second episode of Iss Pyar ko kya naam doon

Back at the meet cute.

My girl looks like she is about to cry.

Oh my, the disgust on his face.

He literally slammed her on the stage and not a in a good way. You know what I mean😏

And now they are dragging her away as if she attacked their boss.

Oooh the veil under his feet. What an imagery.

Man, Sanaya Irani looks sooo pretty.

The wedding is still going on?

How long has it been? Khushi stepped out when it was still daylight and now it's basically night.

What the fuck? Did they just locked her into a room?!

Is that what they do to models for not doing their job properly.

So, he thinks that she was sent by a rival company. That's seem dumb and probable at the same time.

This must be so traumatizing for Khushi. To be locked in a room for no reason and being accused of something you have nothing to do with when you know you need to be at home.

Shit! The mother connected the dots. Khushi needs to hurry up, I smell drama.

But also where are the dukaan ke papers? It's clearly not with Khushi. Where did you left them girl? Don't tell me she will lose them.

Oh he came to interrogate her himself.

He looks terrifying af combined with the predatory walk.

Dude, it's not her fault. You should ask your designer.

"Galti bhi aukaat dekh kar karni chahiye thi" Boy you did not. Shut the fuck up and shove that God complex up your ass.

Actually, I like the tension of this scene.

What the fuck do you mean "Ek jaayega dusra phasa lena" Why would you even comment on her sister's character, she is not even here.

"Batameezi to maine abhi shuru bhi nahi kari hai" Boy what?

*Gasp*

Oh he did not just do that! HE DID NOT!!

The disrespect!

Okay, girl there was no need to cover it up with your hair. Your back was already exposed before.

So, he is just gonna let her leave? What happened to the jawab he wanted. He just wanted to harrass my girl. What a fucking asshole.

Yay! Shaadi toot gayi. Congratualations!

I can't with these fucking neighbors.

Oh no the drama waiting to happen at home, once Khushi arrives.

Who is this lady? Constantly ordering around the house anyway. Shut up!

Is the sister gonna tell the truth?

She's back. Don't tell me they are gonna disown her or something.

What are these neighbours still doing in their house. Get the fuck out, the wedding ordeal is done, bitches.

Oh, the mom's walking up to her. Is a slap incoming?

"Tum thik ho?" Aww! that's her first question. What sweet people!

Ughh, who is this aunty? I hate her.

I love her dad though, he is handling this very calmly.

i know she took the papers because it was necessary for the plot but was it necessary for their plan. Couldn't they have just called the groom and asked whether he was in it.

Oh the mother is upset.

So Khushi is adopted. That's such a shitty statement to drop. Who is this lady anyway. The father calls her jiji so is she Khushi's Bua. Bua ji ki apni koi family nahi hai kya? Yaha kyu rehti hai. God, I hate her soo much.

Oh the mother pulled off an Amitabh Bachchan from K3G.

Agreed! Sis is talking sense, the groom was definitely in on it.

"Tujhse saga humara koi nahi hai" Why are these people the sweetest 😭

Oh girl what are you doing? This is definitely a mislead but what she gonna do with the oil and matchsticks. Probably cook something.

Okay so that was the second episode. It was quite uninteresting for the most part.

Hoping something good from the next one.

Buh-bye!

[hum-suffer]

10 minute pehle ke news ki tea spill karoooooo

Grab your seatbelts because this is a wild and offensive ride.

Context: my friend had a birthday today, let's call her Butterfly. Butterfly is Moon boy's bestie. Me and K (my bestie) became friends with Moon Boy ages ago but we befriended Butterfly only recently during our exams.

Aaj Butterfly ki birthday mein, body shaming girl put up a story wishing her which read,"Happy birthday [Moon Boy] ki bestie." I was furious at her since like last season and even previous episode. Aaj ka precap isme hi aa gaya tha.

Tea:

So me and Moon Boy went to get Butterfly a cake for her birthday to celebrate in college without telling anyone but K. We got the cake and came back, and Body Shaming girl, let's call her Chintu (yes it's her nickname idek why), her group was lowkey offended that we didn't involve them in Butterfly's birthday plan

Moon Boy, that bloody diplomat, knew. He lured them all in with the cake cutting promise and everyone gathered around Butterfly, whom I had not allowed to peek at the cake. We had forgotten to get matchsticks so he went off to find matchsticks to light candles. Meanwhile...

Another girl, whom I did like until she turned into an ass licker, started fiddling with the cake. Bringing it out of box, trying to rip open the box to see the cake. I was politely trying to get her to stop until she tried to open the box. I opened the box instead and then closed it instantly and put it out of her reach. I told her to stop hovering and sit down.

Seeing her ass licker get shoved aside, Chintu was mad. But she was about to be madder.

I'm name dropping this one because i detest him the most. MOST. Bhavya, this lanky oversmart buy with a chomu hairstyle and round glasses, dared to be oversmart.

One thing that everyone should know about me is that I'm fiercely defensive of each of my friends. I treasure them beyond reason. Even if they're new friends.

Bhavya said, and i quote,"Burn Butterfly and use her to light the candles."

I said,"Maybe we should use you, since Teri already jal Rahi hai."

He went bitter and replied,"Jal nahi Rahi hai thik hai? Mere time to cake bhi nhi thi."

"should have had better friends," i said, which must have also offended Chintu.

Bhavya went even more bitter and said,"Mere dost jo the vo tere aaj ke dost hi the. Tere Jo itne saare ladke dost hai na. Vohi." (Lies. I'm acquainted with some boys because I'm a nice person and like to maintain connections. The only male friend i have is Moon Boy.)

I knew what he was implying but Butterfly was already shaking her head. I laughed,"Their behaviour isn't my responsibility."

He was about to say something and Butterfly said to not do this on her birthday. I laughed and said okay, I won't. Butterfly looked at me gratefully and Moon Boy returned till then. He noticed the harsh environment but said nothing and i continued pretending that I didn't want to kill anyone.

Me and Moon Boy took over, shifted benches and made Butterfly sit down, got her the cake(she loved it btw), lit up the candle. Chintu and her ass licker started pretending to care and warning how one shouldn't keep fire near them and blah blah blah. Whilst standing right behind me. I didn't say anything.

As we sang happy birthday, Bhavya sang "Happy birthday [Butterfly] aaj tu mar jayegi". I wanted to hit him but i didnt. By the look on his face, Moon Boy knew my smile wasn't entirely genuine after we finished the birthday song. I pushed him off to be the first one to eat the cake since he's the closest in relation to her. I was clicking pictures with his phone and i heard them criticise even that right behind my back. (Sue me, idk how to operate iphones instantly).

Chintu said,"Maine bola tha ki haath mein rakh ke candle mat jao but sunte nhi hai na kuch log." Bhavya asked who and she replied that she'll tell later. (Can you BE anymore obvious???)

We ended up having fun. I sent off K after me and later I went myself to eat the cake. Took a tiny bite because I don't like sweets too much, and fed Butterfly a wafer chocolate roll. She ate half of it and I fed the rest half to K and Moon Boy respectively. I heard them speak about that as well.

I sat down on a free bench, since I had period cramps, and the sheer joy of being around people and celebrating on Butterfly made me keep my words quiet and it was enough to make me smile widely.

(They did not like that. Duhhhhhhhhhh)

After this, me and Butterfly and K discussed this whole interaction whilst Moon Boy, the darling diplomat, went around fulfilling his volunteer duty and social media manager duty by clicking photos and videos.

The university secretary of the abvp, he came near us to find Moon Boy but he couldn't so I kept him in conversation for almost an hour. Moon Boy returned, listened to the conversation and was tiredly sitting quietly. I and K went to fetch our respective buckles and water bottles from our vehicles and we stayed there talking to some acquaintances. Butterfly came with us too.

I spied Moon Boy drifting in the place and went to him but he had been roped in with Chintu's group so I told him where he'll find me and left, ignoring the rest of them.

My 'KHAYALI PULAO'

(These are the snippet I wanted to see in IPKKND. After every rewatch, I just close my eyes and these imaginary scenes flash through my mind like they are actual scene. I am trying to articulate them here for my future recap. so that I can read them later and also hoping that some day an AI app will come where I can input these scripts and a scene will produce from the app😁😁)

Right After kidnapping

arnav: nani,bohot rat ho chuke hain, apko sou jana chahiye

Arnav: grandma, it's too late,you need to sleep.

(nani nodding her head and got up to go to her room. Arnav giving his attention to khushi reached out to hold her hand. arnav's mind went back to the terrace of akash-payal marriage night.'khushi ji main rani shaheba ko apni patni nehi mante' for the first time realizing there was a resistance from khushi's side to the hug)

arnav: khushi, mujhe sab khuch janna hain. tell me everything in details. SAB KUCH, do you understand? did he ever tried to hurt you or kya kuch esa....(unable to complete the sentence. khushi started fidgeting) khushi, batao mujhe(softly using the tone only he uses with her) I promise, I won't get angry.

Arnav:khushi,I need to know everything. tell me everything in details. EVERYTHING, do you understand? did he ever tried to hurt you or do anything.... (unable to complete the sentence. khushi started fidgeting) khyshi,pls tell me(softly using the tone only he uses with her) I promise, I won't get angry.

khushi: (fidgeting) ap toh jante hain sab khuch.hamne apko bataya tha na. lekin ap toh mujhe yekin (hi nahi ki. khushi couldn't finish the sentence seeing the anguish in arnav's eyes)

khushi:(fidgeting) you know everything. I told you before,remember? but you didn't believe... (she couldn't finish the sentence seeing the anguish in arnav's eyes)

arnav: ( getting himself together) usdin chad pe kaya hua tha batao mujhe?

Arnav:( getting himself together) tell me what happened that day on the roof.

khushi: (she became extremely nervous, not able to meet his eyes, she focused all her attention and looked down to their joined hand) woh usdin ap hamse kuch baat karne chaha rehe the na? toh mujhe (gulping, voice stated to tremble) woh main jis kamre me thi uha ayene pe kisine likha tha ke mujhe chaad pe jana hain. hum soche the ap mujhe bula rehe hain. par ap uha nehi the. uha toh woh admi......tab main uha se vag ke ana chaha rehi thi.... lekin....(both closed their eyes, reluctant to say or listen what comes next) unhone hamko jadardasti se....uske bad mujhe kuch bhi acchese yaad nehi hain.... ham bohot dar geye the. unhone kya kaha, hamne... kya...... (khushi openes her eyes meeting his eye first time after starting this conversation, upon meeting his eyes, her lips started trembling, unable to hold anymore he hugged her, now khushi started to sob clutching his t-shirt) hamne bohot yaad karne ke koshis ki.... apne kaha tha na, jo apne suna. lekin main thik se yaad hi nehi kar payi(khushi started to hicupp and arnav looks like he will start to sob with her too) mujhe sirf itna yaad hain ke hamne unse kaha thi ke agar woh di ko patni nehi manta toh di ko uss gatiya admi ke bagayar hi rehena chahiye. mujhe maf kar dijiye mujhe aur khuch yaad nehi hain.

khushi: (she became extremely nervous, not able to meet his eyes, she focused all her attention and looked down to their joined hand) you wanted to talk to me that day.so I (gulping, voice stated to tremble) the room I was using for changing, there's this mirror. someone wrote there for me to go to the roof. I thought it was you. but you weren't there..there was the man... then I wanted to escape from there but (both closed their eyes, reluctant to say or listen what comes next) he grabbed me by force... after that I didn't remember anything clearly. I was terrified....whatever he said... whatever I said...... (khushi openes her eyes meeting his eye first time after starting this conversation, upon meeting his eyes, her lips started trembling, unable to hold anymore he hugged her, now khushi started to sob clutching his t-shirt) I tried to recall them so hard....you told me what you heard...but I am unable to remember them (khushi started to hicupp and arnav looks like he will start to sob with her too) I just remember that if he can't accept Di as wife then she would be better off without a disgusting person like him. I am so sorry, I only remember this.

arnav: sshhh,khushi, tume mafi mangne ki koi jarurat nehi hain(closing his eyes realizing he is the one who should apologise and hugging khushi tightly)

Arnav: sshhhh,khushi,you don't have to say sorry((closing his eyes realizing he is the one who should apologise and hugging khushi tightly)

(the screen will fade to black,leaving two people hugging each other)

(then their is a scene in bed arnav and khushi lying together, khushi is soundly asleep, mentally and physically exhausted, arnav is wide awake, hand behind his head looking up in the ceiling)

Rocky aur Rani fic

Time flows slower when you're lonely. It was true. The loneliness was getting to her. It was strange though. Not like she ever entertained people around her. Then why was it, that the loneliness was only hitting now?

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock. She fixed her dupatta and looked up. It was Jamini. Dhanalakshmi immediately tried to divert her attention elsewhere.

"Kya mein....?"

"Hmm, aayiye."

Jamini walked to a chair near the desk Dhanalakshmi sat at. It was a huge room with many windows. But they had all been shut with the curtains pulled over. A pungent scent had taken over the room.

"Aap thik hein-?"

"Yahaan meri thabiyath ke baare mein baath karne aayi hain aap? Toh haan, thik hoon mein. Karodo ka dhandha chalta hain mere wajah se. Thik toh hona padega."

This probably wasn't the best time to talk, but Jamini was already here.

"Jab se Kanwal ji....aapke pathi guzre hain, sunne main aaya hain ki aap zyada kisi se baath nahi karti hain."

"Aisa kuch nahi hain Jamini ji. I have not relied on anybody to earn bread for my house or to take care of my company. I have never been too close to my husband nor my son. Loneliness is not something which affects me."

"You were not lonely before Dhanalakshmi ji. Aapne jisko bhi dhoor rakha tha, apne marzi se rakha tha. You were alone. Alone by choice. Par ab jo Khaalipan hain......it is not by choice. Yahi farak hota. Being alone is by choice, but being lonely never is."

Several moments passed by, neither of them spoke. Jamini cursed her timing. This was definitely not what she wanted to put across. Dhanalakshmi finally broke the silence.

"Meri maa thi na, she was very clever. But where would our household put up with clever women. She assumed she had no choice but to suppress herself. But it suffocated me to see her toil hard to make our house liveable when she could've been doing any job she wished to, with more credit to her name. So when I was married away, I had only one goal. To live life without any credits due. After many years I opened Dhanalakshmi sweets.

But in the process of achieving my goal, I only ever cared about establishing my name and getting my credits. Something which started off as a Woman's fight against the society turned into something personal. Somewhere i forgot that I myself am a woman, a daughter of another woman who was oppressed in this society.

I brought my son up, teaching him only how to run a business, never how to treat people around him. I remember the first time he hit his wife in front of me. We were in a business meeting. But all I wanted was for the drama to end there. I asked her to leave and excused my son. And then I did it again and again and again until i couldn't care about it anymore. But I have nobody to blame. It is all my greed for a name for myself which turned me into the person who brewed my greed. Life has come full circle."

Now it was Jamini's turn to speak.

"Rani ne bataya aapke chitti ke baare mein..." Dhanalakshmi sighed.

"Aap apne aap ko jitni buri samajthi hain, uthni hain nahi. Haan, galthi hui hain. Par koi galti itni bhi badi nahi hoti ki use maaf na Kiya jaa sake."

After a silence of another hundred moments, Dhanalakshmi spoke again. "Magar Maine kab kahaan ki mein khudko buri samajthi hoon?"

Jamini broke a sweat, "Nahi, mera matlab yeh nahi tha...-"

She was interrupted by a chuckle. Dhanalakshmi smiled in turn making Jamini smile. Atleast the visit was a success.

Soft One: Mom can I get a playstation? Plaease!!!

Ada: How about you Play-some piano.

IMO Ada as a parent would show some asian parent stereothypes. And I also think she did force one of her kids to play the piano. Mabie even Ada herself can play the piano and she tought them herself saving money instead of paying for a piano teacher, as a spy you never know what you are going to do, you have to adapt, or mabie she just had a passion for muisc. What do you thik heart? Do you think is possible or she has some other stereothypes that are not the piano or she has none? Hope I made my point

sorry i ranted about racism and stereotypes

jdsbfjksd I feel like Leon would say that more than Ada would sjkdbfdskj

I have a very mixed idea on their parenting styles. lots of mixes of traditional and newer styles and mostly because i think some of the inherentness of their age would show. they're born in the 70s, brought up in the 80s. they're not going to have the same parenting styles as someone who grew up in the 2000s

i think ada would want their kids to dedicate their time to learning skills and bettering themselves and she would pride herself on any "talent" their kids have. leon would want them to have fun and be kids but at the same time realize that they do need to be in an environment where they feel safe and have the ability to flourish.

they both coddle them in different aspects but also spoil them in others. but they're also STRICT in various aspects also

they argue sometimes on how to parent. they're not the best at gentle parenting and can even be extremely strict at times but they grow up knowing that something about their parents was always different. hc that at some point when their kids are like 7, ada or leon has enemies that realizes they have kids and have come to .... collect?? make things even??? :)

i think that since we have no idea on ada's background we'll never know if she grew up rich or poor, on the street or surrounded by family. in china (or escaping someplace) or in the states. that can DRASTICALLY change how we interpret her childhood and how she sees what parenting and being a parent is like

i think it would be nice if she steered away from some stereotypes like piano, music, ballet, maths. like things that are so rooted in just CHINESE SMART YOUNG GIRL but if they can be approached in a tactful manner, i think that it's fine.

it's all in a manner of how you approach it, and i think that's also why it's so important to have someone like lily gao be the voice of ada because we have this idea of what ada wong is, but we (not me though, I'm asian) don't have the ideas of what living as an asian person is.

the entire issue with stereotyping ada as the sexy spy dragon lady is because yes, it's all inherently racist, BUT if we have someone that can pivot it in another direction so that it's empowering, i think that's SO MUCH BETTER.

i don't WANT another white person depict ada in any way. i think that it's important to have her be properly represented and in a way that's respectful and just faithful. a white person, no matter how educated they are, will never fully truly understand or be able to place themselves into a life they've never lived. even if we're talking about stereotypes or just racism they've experienced- there's all the tiny things that you don't see from not growing up in that life and experiencing it in your lifetime. i've even thought about how ada would approach microaggressions or even if other kids are racist to their kids.

but like something about, "bitch in the red dress," feels OKAY because i don't really associate og re4 ada as "this is a chinese woman" because otherwise i'd feel like ??? REALLY FUCKING OFFENDED? DO YOU GET ME THOUGH

anyways yeah i also like the idea of ada breaking certain stereotypes that have been thrust on to her because she's been playing this idea of what ada wong is. i just have a lot of FEELINGS about this fkbsjf

also sorry this was about parenting and i raNTED lmao

Okay, no, it's not an old poem. I made a mistake. It is more of a rewriting of the journey to the west, it is from a novel that was published in 2000.

About the lotus lantern. The lotus lantern was created by Nuwa, and it was given to Erlang's mother, Yunhua. So, it is most likely that Sanshegmu took the lantern before her home was destroyed. The lantern itself is very powerful, I'd say it's on par with swk's staff. The lantern cannot be used by anyone. If you have bad thoughts, the lantern will hurt you. Do you think at some point Erlang tried to use the lantern but the lantern didn't respond to him?

The version where Chenxiag beats swk itself is not the first version but it is the first version of Lotus Lantern that includes swk. In this version also Sanshegmu does not fall in love with Liu Yanchang immediately, she hates him at first and even tried to kill him.

Fortunately I found a link for anyone who wants to see the fsyy movie. It's the only one I could find. I think the previous one no longer exists: https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/4789256429765632

ok so i thik i fell asleep mid-way into this convo and tumblr just ATE the notification of this ask up until today? so rip to me i've been sitting here wondering where oomfie kenva-jttw went since our last inbox discussion of JTTW and Erlang and the silly little movie, but hey! good to hear it

I do love. the fact that. the very first version where SWK is added he gets his ass kicked. i prefer this version. it reminds me of Blindjustice in that aspect with Liu and Sanshengmu HAHA, very lovely

Thank you for the movie <3 rejoice my fellow FSYY enjoyers! WE HAVE FOUND THE MOVIE! HUZZAH!

Weekly Tag Wednesdayish?

I'm still on vacation, leaving in under an hour to go to the coast of New Hampshire. Let's see if I can finish this before the family starts yelling at me to get in the car.

Thank you @energievie @sgtmickeyslaughter and @blue-disco-lights for the tag 🥰 And @iansw0rld (I was about to click post and then I saw you tagged me!)

Name and A03 handle: Sarah, princess_sarah

Current Location: I'm at my family's lake house in New Hampshire. I go back home Saturday and I'm not mentally ready for that.

Favorite picrew?

I think it looks a lot like me. I wear ripped jeans a lot when I'm not working because I find them comfy and I love wearing bows in my hair.

What's one thing you want in a picrew? More hair color options. I have strawberry blonde hair. In some lights it can look very red and other times it looks blonde so it's hard to capture that.

Favourite thing you’ve created (or seen created) for the fandom? I'm enjoying creating polls at @gallapolls and reading everyone's long answers. Fic wise I really liked how The Flower Shop turned out.

Why is it your favourite? It fulfills a need I have that Mandy should have been at the wedding. It's also a classic joke trope of someone mixing up who the couple is and I think I pulled it off.

Did it come easily or was it hard to create? Easy. It's a short fic which I think it my strength. Just one scene in the flower shop and I also stayed close to canon so that made it easy too.

Last ao3 fic you commented on? The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts by @sgtmickeyslaughter I need to be better at commenting. I always feel like I need to say something insightful or something but I need to be OK with simply saying "I liked it" because I know when I get comments like that they still make me happy.

Biggest WIP heartache you’ve ever experienced? There's a Teen Titan fic that I started reading when I was in college on fanfiction.net. She was really good about updating it regularly and it was actually a series. The last one hasn't been updated since 2016 and I still think about it from time to time. Mostly wondering if the author is doing OK.

Favorite trope or head cannon you like included in a fanfic? For Gallavich I think I like seeing how people rewrite the Mickey-less seasons. It's interesting seeing other peoples takes on what could have been. I also enjoy reading time traveling fics. I thik its a great way to get some introspectiveness into Mickey and Ian.

Least favourite? Don't like it when one of the boys dies or mpreg.

Secret or surprising kink or trope? Nothing comes to mind right away.

Describe how you feel after you’ve created something new? Like getting rid of a headache

Top hype man you have that always helps you get across the finish line: I don't really tell people that I'm writing so nothing in the process. But the comments and likes do encourage me to start my next project

It's been a bad day, you turn to the fandom and you _____? I go to youtube and binge watch the shameless as vine videos. They make me laugh everytime.

Alright I finished with 6 minutes to spare!

Two questions! Which of the three protag-villains is your favorite so far? And what did you think of the little interlude where you entered the mirror between doors?

Oh, I would say probably Maria? I support women's wrongs, obviously, and Maria's absolutely wild long-con game and her joy over playing both sides is just, a whole other thing, and I love it. She's horrible, and she holds a grudge, and we're completely here for it.

If we're talking about 'dudes the white haired girl ends up with' in this role, actually...Jacopo. I was going to say Yukimasa, but I thik I just find parts of his story really compelling in PART, more than I like him so much, if that makes sense. But Jacopo is a particularly interesting breed of tragedy to me, and I feel for him more than I do Mell or Yukimasa, even if I'm like, 'Congratulations! You've caused 90% of your own problems!" (Though admittedly that is all of them)

Thank you for reminding me! I have a whole page of notes on that scene but got so caught up in "It fucking was not 1869" that I forgot it completely:

PLEASE DON'T CONFIRM OR DENY OR SPOIL ANYTHING

So this guy is related to the White Haired Girl, almost certainly, and there's a part of the door where they say something about her name being female but the same as a guy's, so...is her name Michelle? Because Michel/Michelle is a real easy jump.

He says that the witch's name is Morgan, so we're definitely doing a Morgan le Fay thing here, but then he also says that the witch is me. So there's something complicated going on with identity there, and this must be why the White Haired Girl continually gets accused of being the witch. Is it about the idea of who the witch is, like, are he and her the witch in the eyes of the people, so what he's saying isn't wrong, but the HOUSE itself is Morgan, is the witch--in door two specifically I remember the house having a real malevolent nature that seemed separate from anything else. The house is the narrative, the house is the witch, the witch is the story, I don't know there's something in there but I can't quite get to it. Writers create stories, they create conflict within them, writers often bring back the same KINDS of characters with different names over and over again. I don't know if this is anything.

Giselle: i don't know who the fuck this bitch is. The maid, maybe?

I have a note about the landscape painting, but I can't go back far enough in my backlog to see the scene! It struck me for some reason enough to note it down though.
