#will you still queue me the same?

"I'll reach out to the bar, see if anyone out that ways knows anyone with better knowledge on dragons. Think that'll probably be our best starting point."

With all of the different people that passed through that way and the network that had been built by several of the residents, it seemed the most logical route to go. And, even if they didn't know anyone directly, it could get the word out in the safest possible manner.

Wylie looked a little alarmed at being told that the usual stuff that seemed common sense when it came to having a pet was probably mostly out of the question for Chalupa, and it worried Wylie that if the little fuzz ball got sick in any way, they wouldn't have any means to treat him properly, especially if it was something serious.

"Guess it's even more of a good thing you got him off the street then," he reasoned. "Who knows what he could have picked up tryin' to survive out there all on his own."

I still mask because... The idea of food tasting disgusting and like death and shit would actually destroy me. Food is one of the primary pleasures of my existence, and the idea of having to eat ANYWAY everyday, forcing myself to eat foul-tasting food even though it's disgusting is anathema to my personal happiness. I know other people don't enjoy food already, it's not a big deal to them whether food tastes good, but the idea is awful to me.

He hummed to himself, nodding as he listened. It was still concerning but it wasn't his place to voice that worry. Not at this point anyway. Yin might have, he was better at this than Robert ever would be.

The gesture was not lost on him, Robert doing similar things when Yin or Calla pressed on anything he didn't want to deal with. That was fine with him, he could change the subject. "So, tell me, why is it that Calla is convinced you are her brother?"

"Started when I was six. Got good enough that I could keep the old man alive while his body slowly cooked from the outside in," Phoenix answered, a coldness in his tone that was difficult to distinguish between a simple lack of remorse over his actions or the kind of emotional detachment that had grown out of trauma and become a coping mechanism.

"Fucker got what was comin' to him is all," he shrugged, letting the flames die down before sniffing and shifting his entire demeanor as though he was physically drawing a line on the conversation and did not wish to discuss anything further on the matter.

I don’t hate those who have seen the original source. I hate those who:

feel superior and entitled because they’ve seen the original source

trash on CQL just because it’s different from the books

force their book opinions on CQL lovers when clearly, these 2 are different (civilized discussions are welcome)

are disrespectful and toxic

If you think you are at least one of the bulleted points above, do us both a favor and block me!

I am doing my utmost best not to attract book/donghua fans by using proper tags. It’s not my fault that the characters have the same names in the adaptation. If you really have a problem with The Untamed, kindly block the “The Untamed” and/or “CQL” tags and I won’t be on your radar anymore!

Now, if you love CQL or— if you’ve read the novel or watched the donghua or both AND— you ARE NOT any of the bulleted points above, then you are very welcome here! Welcome to my blog!

More details about this blog—

I like to do a variety of stuff (majority about WangXian) but I usually make gifs. I organized all of them through the tags:

My Gifs

My The Untamed X Songs Edits

My The Untamed X Quotes Edits

My Essays

Attempt At Making Humor

Incorrect Quotes

My Chinese Translations

My Video Edits

My Fanfics (there’s only one as of now but hopefully I make more in the future)

"You started it with the scary twin shit," Marissa pointed out, her smile slipping into something less friendly. If he wanted to play this game, she would be all too happy to play along and she wouldn't be nice about it. "You really are new to the whole siblings thing..."

"Who said I was lying?" She wasn't wearing anything at the moment, but only because she was still cleaning the blood out of her usual jewelry. "Body chains? Really? That's a little tacky."

"Weird ass crackhead is rude," he countered quite easily, grin on his face showing off his shiny tooth gems. "Hey, look, we agree on something - we're making waves." There would be no details as to why Darcy thought that but it didn't really seem like he needed any in the moment.

"You're really good at telling lies, aren't you? I bet most people believe you." Not Darcy who had once upon a time been quite the liar himself. Honesty was really working out for him these days though, so he tended to stick with it. "I almost went with body chains - for you and Fulton. I got disapproving looks so I just bought one for myself."

if an artist says their turnaround time is usually a week and that they should be done with your specific commission by the end of the week, then goes nearly three weeks without saying something, is it OK to ask them for an update on your commission? I'm a bit torn on whether I should wait a whole month

Hiatus

I am going on hiatus for a bit more. I really really hoped the stuff that have been going on lately were already "sorted out" but, uhm... they aren't. I need to take a bit more time offline once again, and try to work things out.

Thank you for your patience ❤

"I had a feeling that was going to be a thing," she admitted, not at all surprised to hear he remembered more than anyone else thought he did. Bells had worked with enough trauma to know not to be surprised by any sense of memory, present or missing.

Taking a deep breath, Bells rested a hand on Nik's shoulder, offering that little bit of stability. None of this was going to be easy for him and she knew that too.

"You're right. It did make you both worse. I know that she didn't understand the damage she was causing in her own panic, but that does not change, excuse, or make up for what she put you and Finn through. It does not change, excuse, or make up for the fact that she led others to believe it was in the best interest of anyone. There were any number of us in the family she could have spoken to for better ideas and she didn't. What she did wasn't okay and while I can understand that she has her own unresolved trauma, it does not give her a pass. You deserved better. You both deserved better."

"Just... everything with Mom... what she did..." Nik answered, unable to untangle any one specific thing for the moment, which was understandable now that he was viewing things from a new perspective.

"I think I remember more than I thought I did. At least about bein' locked up..."

While his words might sound like he wasn't entirely sure, he really did hold memories of the in-between moments when he's started to dissociate but Finn hadn't taken over yet, as disorienting and almost dreamlike as they felt.

"It hurts because she made me think what she was doin' was okay, but it wasn't. What she did made us worse, not better..."

i love you all 💜

anyways if going “i think i’m annoying. i should simply stop thinking i’m annoying” isn’t working out for you, consider going “i think i’m annoying. i can use this for comedy”. if mentally removing the properties from yourself isn’t something you’re capable of, shifting your perception of the properties can be helpful. maybe it’s funny to be a little annoying. people love when cats are a little annoying. everyone who’s ever had a sibling knows that being a bit of a dick can be extremely funny. and beyond that, surrounding yourself with people tolerant of flaws as small as “occasionally acts in a way that i personally find superficially unpleasant”, who will instead celebrate those aspects of you, will be helpful in the long run for your mental health. what’s really so bad about being a little annoying? it means you willing to put yourself out there and have people around you who, more often than not, enjoy you being at 200%. something something “strengths and weaknesses are just based on perception”. are you annoying, or are you earnest? are you rude, or are you direct? are you strong-willed and independent, or are you incapable of asking for help and self-destructive? are you sweet and friendly, or are you conflict-avoidant? the truth is, you’re always both, depending completely on the situation. so be a littleb bit annoying. it’ll be fun.

"In our defense, you keep ending up on the death spirit side of the family. We don't need as much sleep as most people." And she certainly didn't like to sleep all that much either. "That doesn't surprise me. I've heard some horror stories about Auntie Ko, but I think you'd like her husband. He's been really good for her and stubborn enough that even when she tried to push him away, he stuck it out. Oddly enough, he's a reaper, so like, similar line of work and what not. Which means he sort of just gets it, you know?" That made a lot of sense. Bells knew that Lyri had healed over the years, Lyri had been very transparent about it all, and Bells had appreciated her insight. It had helped a lot with some of her own kids. "Makes sense."

Bells hummed, considering the question for a few moments before shrugging. "Honestly? Creedance has always played his cards pretty close to his chest. Even when he was younger, getting an idea for what he wanted for his birthday was a pain in the ass. He isn't the biggest on items, you know?"

"He says to the mother of several emotionally and mentally fragile children in various states of healing. I'm good at responsibility."

"You, your son, everyone I encounter. It's the worst." If they would just sleep long enough for him to give them a few nice dreams maybe they'd want to sleep more. Though he wouldn't complain too much about Cree's sleep habits because he could usually convince his boyfriend to nap with him whenever he wanted if the other wasn't busy. Still, it would be nice to share his talents with more people. "I know she scared the crap out of my dad one time. Felix, not Hypnos. But I don't really remember the story. Some of my memories are still fuzzy." He was doing loads better than Silas and Felix on that front but there were still some distant memories, or stories of things that had happened, that he had trouble recalling. "You probably would have but Lyri has always been one of my best friends and there was a lot of hurt there and I was young so... I saw a lot of it through her."

Dimitri couldn't help but smile as she did. "I know Cree says he built it because it was practical, because we needed somewhere bigger to live but I've never witnessed a more romantic gesture. "Is there anything you think Cree would like that he wouldn't do for himself? Even if it's something simple. I just wanna do something to make him smile."

He couldn't help but laugh at that. "Nobody wants you cooking Bells. Sounds terrifying. But even just signing the paychecks... responsibility is a fun sucker."
