Illustration for The visitor by @veraverorum

It wasn't difficult being Nie Mingjue's brother, until it was. Nie Huaisang was ten when it happened. The disturbance came dressed in impeccable white.

based on Never lovers, ever friends by @veraverorum

To Gusu Lan sect leader Lan Xichen  Do you think me a fool?  Your well wishes on the day of my nuptials are as welcome as your presence. And you were not there.  I was never capable of forgiveness, you should know that very well.  Occupy your mind with your family and your child, not with the thought of me. 

for the themes "secret relationship" and "between the lines", and also because I just loved so much this fic when I got to beta it~

Five Characters Poll

@haljathefangirlcat tagged me for this a while ago and like... I've been neglecting here for reasons and it looked like a lovely way to kickstart things over again so thank you so much!!! If I can figure out how to make a poll...

Rules: make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favourite!

I'm not gonna pick robb for asoiaf for once or it'd be too easy but anyway I'm here spinning the wheel and trying to do three obvious two less obvious

go forth and vote xD

and I have to tag five people uuuh

@lodessa @veraverorum @bigre-fichtre @mafaldinablabla @octopuscato @rxdscarf @cafeleningrad which is seven but I thought you'd find it fun

9 Fandom Peeps To Get To Know Better:

Thanks to @kingsandbastardz for the tag!

3 Ships You Like: Currently reading 2min fics because the angst potential is high with these two. Not really reading anything else lately because irl is kicking my ass.

First Ship Ever: Drarry. Yes. I know.

Last Song You Heard: Murder on The Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis Baxter. So glad this song is getting the recognition and revival it so deserves. I was still emotionally damaged by David Tenant's BAFTA intro which reminded me that this song is 22 years old and that has been how long since I first heard it.

Favourite Childhood Book: It was a series called the Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones. Yes, the same one who wrote Howl's Moving Castle, which is unsurprisingly my other favourite childhood book.

Currently Reading: dawn breaks as I gaze over it (tbf to me, i am actually rereading this)

Currently Watching: I am still processing Marry My Husband so nothing just yet

Currently Consuming: Green Tea but I can't wait to clock out for today so that I can finally grab my favourite cocktail to celebrate Nicole Kidman post-divorce with Tom Cruise style, that I can finally close the chapter on my ex company

Currently Craving: Cawl. Lamb Cawl with some nice toasted sourdough bread and salted butter on the side. Yums

8 Shows to know you

Tagged by: @fortune-maiden thanks!

Tagging: @marsdiogenes @veraverorum @dangermousie @endrega23

Ah this is hard but I will try

1. Avatar the last Airbender.

I remember when nickelodeon would air the complete series on a weekend every now and again and that was how I originally watched it. Then it was on Netflix and I rewatched it again. And again and again. This is THE show to me.

2. Monk - in which a germophobe is a detective

This show aired the same year I was born so I'm kinda going to be biased. Rewatching some of the episodes in 2023 I didn't expect to find out that my brand of humor apparently originates from an early 2000s show but it certainly appears so!

3. Shadow Hunters

Did I drop this show after catching up with the books and being so frustrated at how they adapted things? Yes. Do I even care about the books anymore? Not really. BUT this show (or rather Malec) is what originally got me into shipping so I think I still need to mention it.

4. Stranger - A kdrama about a man without emotions suffering with chronic pain having to solve a murder and making friends along the way

Living my life I never saw a character that made me go "oh I feel represented by them! I can relate to them!" That was until the Male Lead of Stranger came along. Instead of the show being about his disability it's about a murder that needs to be solved. It's about him solving this murder and navigating through it with his disability. It's about friendship. This show probably has one of my favorite female leads. And even if I'm not much into crime dramas anymore this show is so so dear to me.

5. The disastrous life of Saiki K - in which the anime protagonist has all the powers in the world that he doesn't want. He just wants a peaceful afternoon is that so much to ask!

Not much to say about this show except this is also one that nailed my brand of humor.

6. Tom and Jerry

A special shout-out to it because as a child I was obsessed with it.

7. Mr. Queen - In which a womanizing star cook from modern times transmigrates and now he is the queen of joseon. Political court intrigue on the menu as well.

Everything about this show was almost tailer made for me. The humor that never fades even into the late episodes. The characters and their complexity. The romance between two people who started as enemies. The drama, the intrigue! Perfect! Amazing! Wonderf- WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS THE ENDING

Mr Queen managed to give me the worst ending I have possibly ever seen and still managed to become my favorite kdrama. Because even if the last episode is a crime everything before that really is just too well done.

8. Love between fairy and devil - in which the most powerful man is the universe is forced to take care of a plant

My feelings with this show and Mr queen are pretty similar except that with Lbfad while maybe not the best paced at the end the ending didn't suck. The couple just has so much love and respect for each other. And the emotions ahhh. So many emotional moments!

[gnomeicecream]

Joy! Joyous day! I have been tagged by @scribeprotra in an ask game. Four Ships, Last Song, Current Reading, Last Movie, and Craving

4 Ships:

Yue Qingyuan/Shen Jiu: Two great tastes that taste great...ah no, too bitter plah plah. XD Shen Jiu has a very strong presence in the narrative despite dying on page -1. He is the protagonist of a story where things never got better up until he became the next protagonist’s villain. And Yue Qingyuan loves that for him. Did you need him to hide shidi’s body? Do you want him to sweat the sweat from your brow from beating that one child in particular?

Seriously though they have so much potential to dig into. Reveling the one key information each needs, that one event didn’t happen or happened in a different way or to someone else, great! The high charge of emotion that is bubbling like a pressure cooker! Eee!

3xun, Nie Mingjue/Lan Xichen/Jin Guangyao: Just like the above ship, but now with new angles! Class struggle, legitimacy, compassion, justice, reasonably priced love and a hard boiled egg (leading to a son being thrown down like, four sets of stairs. Seriously. Meng Yao is the spice that holds this recipe together he can have whatever he wants). There is that same pressure coming from things just never meshing right because people are talking past eachother as a result of their individual upbringings and traumas.

Cloud Strife/Barret Wallace: Man. Big. Mmmmm. Cloud Strife could use some looking after, and Barret Wallace has daddy energy to spare! This one is more of a rare pair off to the side of the great Seph, Aerith, Tifa, Zack, all those other soldiers, war. They have things in common! Both are dual survivors of Shinra burnt towns, both lead Avalache, they have a tension that comes from Cloud replacing him as the leader even while they both come to try and trust eachother. Good meat to make a good story with.

Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk/Han Suyoung: Did you want to cry because of the very concept of platonic incarnations of the love that is both given and received in the act of reading, being a reader, writing, being written, being yourself within and without a character? Well it doesn’t matter if you don’t this book and ship will find your tears. The book is put together like a crystalline clock, you can see the machinations and they are only made more lovely and tragic by understanding. But in specific to this ship, they have the tension that I need to make a ship enjoyable. Big emotions. Hidden feelings.

Last Song: I’ve got a piano BGM ten hour mix on, heaven knows what any one song I’m listening to at any time is called-Oh hey wait thats Always With me (spirited Away).

Current Reading: I’ve got 6 tabs of fanfic open right now. The Power of Friendship (and This Gun I found) by Gallus cause I wanted to reread when the new chapter came out then put that off for smaller bites. Thats Not a Real Trope You Hack Author by Boom_After_Dark. It starts off haha funny, the author is stuck in his own book and encountering tropes he deliberately used incorrectly. Oh, those are feelings. He is not haha anymore. Hm, a long fic collection with Shen Jiu by blackflowetea. Stripper au Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian by pumpkinpaix. My Erstwhile Dear by ErradianWhoCantRead which is a Jiggy skips town after Guanyin Temple then writes back home fic. and Anyway, heres Wuji by kakikaeru. Very funny fic with the Lan Juniors + Jin baby.

Last Movie: Puss in Boots, the Last Wish. I had a great time! It was a well put together movie, good storylines and good art. I would rec it to people even if they haven't been keeping up with the shrekverse (goodness knows I haven't been)

Craving: Oh hm, I am pretty content at the moment. But I am always down for some sushi. Mmmm...sushi.
