#there will be much more

[thatmooncake]

Sun and Moon designs I made together with @flinxypie for our new Magical Mascots AU!

An AU set in a theme park where the mascots have very important roles to play and they hope your visit is absolutely magical!

Especially our two fave celestial animatronics -

Enter Sun, who makes every moment into playtime …literally! His silly craft projects really do have a life of their own, and as if that wasn’t enough, you too can join the fun and become a part of his merry toy band, safe and sound.*

*Terms and conditions apply.

Moon on the other hand is the spinner of dreams and is always there with a fantastical adventure for when you need to wind down and catch a few Z’s. …Or maybe more than a few Z’s. …You don’t have a sleep debt do you? Or you might be here a while. Moon is very meticulous, and you won’t leave unsatisfied! In fact, you might not want to leave at all!

OK, I almost never do this anymore, but it's been a roller coaster of a few days and I want to share something fun. So, have a snippet of my "the donghai battle was a hatefuck" fic that I just wrote over 2k words of after writing almost nothing for months and months (years, it's really been years, if I'm honest)? ^_^

.

He'd come on like the storm: fast, furious, and unforgiving.  There was fire in his eyes and lightning in his blade, and he spared no one as he advanced his one man army.  Scores of soldiers went overboard that night, preferring to risk the storm-tossed sea than whatever was going to happen on the ship that night.  That's the only reason I lived to share the tale.  I went overboard like the rest rather than face his wrath.  But even from a safe distance, the destruction was massive.  No one could have survived it, but it was a sight to behold.  It's no wonder our Sect Leader has been in seclusion ever since, regaining the cultivation, the strength, that he lost to his enemy that night.  I shudder to think what he must have seen…

*

The sea was wretched that night, not fit for man or beast.  As the sounds of his men's misery reached his ears even inside the cabin, Di Feisheng found himself grateful, yet again, for his strong constitution.  But even he wasn't entirely unaffected by the rolling and dipping of the vast ship beneath him.  He'd retreated to the cabin, unwilling to risk losing the meager dinner he'd eaten in front of his men… or anyone else who might come along.

More than a few of his soldiers had begged leave to return to land, leaving naught more than a skeleton crew manning the decks, but more than that wouldn't be necessary.  This confrontation with Sigumen's Leader was for no one's eyes but their own.  The rest of his soldiers already had their orders to join their brethren on shore as soon as Li Xiangyi arrived.

…which, judging by the clang of swords he could now detect through the walls of the cabin, was imminent.

Moments later, the door was Li Xiangyi's latest victim.  Di Feisheng didn't rise to the bait, merely pushed a second cup of tea across the table and raised an eyebrow.  Over Li Xiangyi's shoulder, Wuyan briefly caught his eye.  Di Feisheng offered him a small nod of acknowledgment, trusting him to get the rest of their men off the ship and leave the two sect leaders to the business at hand.

And the business at hand was even now brandishing his sword far closer to Di Feisheng's throat than he was comfortable with.  He lifted a hand to push against the blade.  "You demanded a meeting, and I am here, Li-menzhu."  He motioned towards the cup he had pushed across the table.  "Tea?"

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?

Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,

Actually I love voting for the lesser evil. It's less evil. I support that whole heartedly.
