•°♡~ Dirt Friends ~♡°・

"They taught me how to be gentle - the little Dirt Friends."

Sweet summer child Berboner. No one likes bugs and barely anyone likes her, so they’re two deformed peas in a lil gross pod. I want to do a piece of Calli and Verona painting cockroaches together. I just really need to get rid of this art block. Good thing I have 2 years worth of art I don’t hate to put in queue (epic).

Random Thoughts about the Ricken book Pt. 1

“I am the youngest son of renowned performance artists Bob and Grace Hale, known collectively as HumpDumpster, though I have sought for decades to distinguish myself from their intellectual shadow.” Starting off strong here with a healthy dose of wtf. But I do think it makes so much more sense why Ricken is the way that he is.

“I am a friend to birds, the earth, the arts, the elderly, the destitute, and the upset.” I can't remember the exact quote but this is phrased exactly the same as one of Ms. Casey's "Your outtie is _____" statements. Which could mean nothing....

“Statistically, your reaction almost certainly fell into one of five categories, and figuring out which one is deeply instructive in determining your You.” It's giving the "Just group off the numbers and put them in the bin" although there are four bins not five.

So we now know the peanuts exist in universe. and not sure if "Caesar Augustus invented democracy" is a serious timeline change or Ricken being stupid.

“my conception and birth took place in a small theatre behind a defunct perfumery in Western Oregon, as part of a nine-month performance art piece originated by my parents titled “Smells Like Afterbirth, F**ker.” woooooboy. Ok so we know that Oregon exists in this timeline, or is Western Oregon the state??? We know that our characters live in a state abbreviated as PE, and the lumon video stated more countries than there are.

“Though I cannot remember my birth performance, the knowledge of it has always brought me great joy. Knowing that a version of me, even one I don’t recall, brought meaning and profundity to so auspicious a coterie of persons, infused into my young life a deep sense of purpose.” Again, it is now very easy to figure out why the innies latched onto this so hard.

“HumpDumpster moved on to new pieces, including 1992’s critically lauded “Cheers, F**kers,” in which they held a Boston bar at actual gunpoint for 36 hours, leading to a quasi-substantive prison term. This and other endeavors led to long stretches where I was alone, and it was in these silent periods that a grim and intrusive resentment — of my parents, my lineage, and even myself — began to take hold.” I wanna know who actually wrote this. Was it a writers room thing? was it a group effort? But yeah again, explaining why Ricken is the way that he is.

It actually frightens me that Koko the signing Gorilla exists in this universe. If Lumon lays one manicured finger on her I will throw hands.

“I put my head very near the wig and noticed that it emitted a dull hum. Perhaps the dear lady had also lost a hearing aid, which had become caught in the wig and was now fritzing in the dew. It was at this moment that I felt my wife place a guiding hand upon my back. “Okay Ricken, honey, that’s a beehive,” she whispered affectionately. Almost sensually.” I audibly cackled holy shit. I can hear this in Devon's voice so clearly, she has suffered more than Jesus. Leave your husband babe, I promise I'll treat you right.

“In my defense, I’d never seen a non-industrial beehive before. I’d interned in a honey plant as a young scholar, but wild bees were as foreign to me as the lush hills of Belgium. I couldn’t help but laugh at the misshapen nest, so divorced from the perfectly constructed factory hives I’d come to know in my youth.” Goddamn, Lumon out here gettin' the bees too.

I delighted in how they darted hither and thither, thoroughly convinced of the dire importance of their work. How like human beings they are, I thought. It was only upon later reflection that I realized this observation was not merely hilarious, but devastatingly profound.” Local man discovers the concept of empathy, more at 11.

Wow, Gemma really was the only person nice to this guy huh? :(

Sister Act also exists....

ok PA exists as well

“I myself ascribe to no defined religion, though certain experiences endow me with a potent sense of the divine: Holding my wife’s hand as we fall asleep.” WHICH IS WHY YOU BETTER TREAT HER RIGHT OR I WILL

And that brings us to the beginning of chapter 4. I need a drink.

X-Men #5

Late, but who cares? Let's go.

So, I've made no secret that I thought Kwannon wasn't really being given enough to do, these last few issues of X-Men, and it's for the same reason I'm happy to see Greycrow here - Zeb Wells' Hellions was amazing. It was one of the few Krakoa era titles that actually bothered to examine the moral double standards of the era, that really took advantage of its unique status quo, that looked at mutant resurrection and thought, okay, how can we mine this, not for obscure background cameos that will make a person on Twitter happy, but for actual drama? It was a truly great series, and I was hoping it would be followed up, if only in small ways.

I do like that Kwannon and John have a cabin together. With how they left off, it felt very personal and intimate between them, like they truly didn't need anything else to be content with one another, and neither of them struck me as people who need action to be fulfilled - or, rather, they don't see action as a means for enjoyment. As Kwannon says here, it merely gives them purpose. So far, so good.

Wasn't expecting an Amelia Voght callback, of all characters. Then again, this is a Jed MacKay joint.

Psychics and death, name a more iconic X-Men duo.

It is interesting that we get kinda sort of confirmation that Quentin remembers being a head, since I would've figured that the Cerebro cradles were down and he'd have lost those memories, but I suppose it's also possible he could have just heard about it second-hand and been like, wow, I got turned into a head in a box? Weird.

Yeah, no, you don't get to call Scott Slim, Quentin. Only Hank, Bobby or Warren get to do that. And Jean, if she's feeling quirky.

Can I also say something? I actually dig Quentin's fit? I don't know if that says something about my fashion sense or what, but I actually like this look for him more than . . . pretty much any other look he's had. Granted, that's not saying much, given his other uniforms were black blazer with t-shirt, the 60s retro-futuristic mutant fascist attire, or the bland melange that was his X-Force uniform, but I do actually like it. Purple and checker pattern work.

So, this whole issue is an homage to New X-Men #121, which was part of Marvel's Nuff Said initiative, and it, along with all the other issues published that month, had pretty much no dialogue in it, it was all told purely through art. It's not a direct homage, of course, since dialogue is happening, but I appreciate the lampshade being hung on it here, with Quentin both pointing out that this isn't like the other homage, and then not-so-subtly pointing out why it isn't like them.

Because Quentin can't shut the fuck up.

Honestly, that's a fun spin on it. That's how you iterate on something you've seen before.

I'm a sucker for mental landscapes. Always have been, always will. I just like getting to grapple with a character's psyche in a tangible way, it's why I like series like Silent Hill or Star Trek's many telepathic episodes. And if I had to break down why I like them?

Well.

Pretty much.

You really could've just called this New X-Men volume 3, Jed, and I don't think anyone would've objected. That being said - I couldn't have given less of a shit what happened in Marauders volume 2, so seeing that Cassandra Nova is back and wasn't consigned to the dustbin because of that series is a win in my book. She's a top tier villain, tbh, one of the best new X-villains of the last 20 years, and her particular incisive methodology for breaking down heroes' psyches feels like it's perfectly suited for the team of this book.

As she demonstrates.

Ahhhh, good foreshadowing earlier, good stuff. And I have to say, Stegman's Sabretooth is fucking top tier. Excellent rendition of the big man himself (whom I already miss, even if he does have a miniseries coming up very soon).

This is a great sequence, tbh. Like, poor Quentin - this is actually the most anyone has made me feel for Quentin since Aaron, about ten years ago - but in terms of threat and character exposition, it's very good, with some excellent art and very Nova-esque deconstruction. I also particularly like this panel composition.

His head is in a smaller panel. His head is literally in a box.

Good stuff, tbh. Again, this is the most useful Quentin feels like he's been in a while, because if he did anything of real worth in X-Force other than die, I'll freely admit that I do not remember it.

Hank, Scott, do you . . . wanna get them some paper towels, or . . ?

Overall, not a bad issue - definitely not as memorable as the original psychic rescue, though.

Now, originally, I was gonna say, you can't hold that against it, it's not easy to match Morrison, that's just common sense, but then again, most writers don't directly invite the comparison, so, I really hope Jed is cooking up something long term and satisfying, because constantly referencing Morrison is all fine and dandy, but it needs to go somewhere.

Still, I'd say the title has been squarely good thus far, and it still has room to get better and better, so I'm gonna give it time to breathe.

Also?

Our expert panel of judges have concluded that Hank McCoy once again wins the title of Original X-Man with the Dumpiest of Dump Truck Asses. Thanks for trying, Scott, but, uh. Your nickname is Slim for a reason.

Conner, you and I are gonna fight.

Damn right. It's not Hank's fault comics readers don't read anything from before 2010 . . .

⬇⬇ LIST OF FANDOMS I'M INTO ⬇⬇

H E L L O P R I E S T

I like to sit in the "children's horror games" fandoms and headcanon stuff about little-known characters there. I've been following the game since the first chapter, but I only got really involved in story since Chapter 3. My favourite is Leith Pierre (and my design of him), Doctor, Yarnaby and Kissy Missy.

Got here only in February but already in love with this game. All characters are fucking amazing and cool. But i think my heart especially belongs to Ferryman and Minos!

MY WORLD OF WARCRAFT SIDEBLOG <-

WoW has been my obsession for several years now, and now I'm not so interested in the new expansions, but I just love the old Warcraft before SL. Alliance? Horde? WHO NEEDS THEM WHEN THERE ARE THE FORSAKEN! I love them. And basically all the undead. Of the characters, I really love Jaina and Vanessa Vancleef. And also i'm biggest Sylvanas/Nathanos apologist. My favourite fucked up couple.

I love this crazy fandom. There is no one particular mercenary that o like, they are all cool and deserve love. Favorite ships: Bloody Suite, Boots & Bombs, and Science Party. By the way, I hate speedingbullet, please don't touch me with speedingbullet. I draw a lot SniperSpy, everything can be found under tags here on the blog!! I also used to play a lot tf2 sice summer 2023. Now I main Scout and Sniper.

I LOVE MARIA SILENT HILL TWO I LIVE FOR HER I CRY OVER HER CHARACTER and I think her character is very underrated! Otherwise, I also really love Heather (I cosplayed her!), Lisa and Walter. I'm a fan of the "classics" of all 4 silent hill games. This rusty, old, tense, frightening, depressing, meaty horror is just what I've always been missing.

MY LAMBDAGENERATION PROFILE <-

It’s worth saying briefly - I adore the entire universe of half-life and the portal. These are great games, I love everything about them. They changed me and my perception of video games a lot. My favorites of the series are Adrian Shepard and Alix. I'm a fan of HEKU in general, they're funny guys. Probably the only military characters in video games that don't make me uncomfortable.

other fandoms that i was to lazy to make banner for, or they are smaller: OUTLAST, Garten of BanBan, Gloomwood, Faith:The unholy trinity.

these banners are made by me, and yeah they are fre to use(ijust pls credit me if you do)

--------------------

Fixations⤵️

The list below is color coded based on the fandoms I'm fixated on, or I just like

Red = Fixated

Orange = Semi-fixated

Green = Like

Monster x Mediator - It's a pretty interesting game due to the characters (Sir Knight...🤤🤤)

Call of Duty - Certain campaigns in it, mostly COD Ghosts though (Yes, I have played the OG versions of some of the campaigns on the old ps3 we have, and I do play MP Cod Ghosts).

Fallout: New Vegas - Fixated more on JOSHUA GRAHAM 🤤🤤. But yeah, story is fire, and the characters are fire. Very well written, still gotta check out the DLC's though.

Battlefield 4 - This fandom is so male dominated (or there's no artists in it or sum...) that there's like, 0 genuine fanart of it, and I'm sad because of that ���� (PAC MY POOKIE, M-MY LOVE 😩😩)

Rainbow 6 Siege - Don't have the console to play the actual game so I watch it instead.

Mouthwashing - The entire story is just...wow. So sorry that had to Happen to you, Anya. Also, fuck Jimmy. Everyone else is cool.

Fallout (The show version) - Really liked the way they made everything with the characters and stuff. For new fans, such as me, I really enjoyed it 🗣

Hell Divers 2 - Like R6S, I don't have the actual console itself to play it but it's on my wishlist and I really like the concept of the game, plus the community seems pretty fire.

Eddsworld - Used to have a HUGE fixation on this fandom, prob for up to 1-2 years (shit had a strong grip on me)

Silent Hill 2 - That's like the only game I know lore about in the Silent Hill series (Pyramid head...).

My Little Pony - I'm surprised this fandom is absolutely booming now. Watched the entire show (forgot everything though 💀). Love the art the fandom makes though, including the AU's.

Saiki K - Legit forgot the entire storyline, but I know I like it

The Amazing Digital Circus - Caught up on all episodes

Demon Slayer - Watched all seasons

The Amazing World of Gumball - Havent really watched it much, but I really like it including the fan base

Into the Spiderverse - Have never read the comics, but movie-wise I like it

...Damn, you still reading? I mean if you're interested go ahead and drop a follow to this thing (you're likely gonna forget this account anyways, so free follow for me mwhahaha).

[seth-burroughs]

mdarc chapter 1 rewatch part 3, and yes, i am aware of the massive pile of asks i have on all my blogs however as always i shall keep running. no don't stop sending them i absolutely appreciate the attention its just i need to mentally prepare two weeks in advance and cry in order to give a sufficient response. you should give it a try and converse with yours truly again some more if the thought of torturing and killing me slowly sounds fun and exciting to you👍

oh look its the child extortion scene

you would think halara, who's got all that trauma from having their family get scammed and destroyed by a friend* they trusted as a child, would be just a tiny bit less comfortable with swindling kids out of their money rn but like you know that's just my thoughts......

they're Reclaiming it <3

*listen. like i know i can't be the only one that thinks that way, but so far so many people ive seen that played this game just went through this gab and thought "oh wow a middle schooler just scammed them that is so crazy lmao", and like. i was under the impression that halara was the one in middle school the entire time, and their "best friend" was just some adult con artist that gained Halara's trust (or just flat out groomed them, honestly) so they could scam their parents. like, you do know this interpretation makes infinitely more sense than... very nefarious 12 year old manipulator investment scamming adults or whatever

has nobody already made a halara "fuck them kids" joke or do i gotta pull out that art program again

this child is like fucking what, five?? literally crying what is your PROBLEM halara...... halara i don't even think he understands half of whatever you're saying to him right now.....................

they didn't even give it back to kei they just tossed it over to yuma???????? lmao?????????

still. they're so fucking cool. i'm giving them the highest honor i can bestow (narcissistic personality disorder and massive autism)

AH WAIT I FORGOT WE ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE SHIT IN THIS GAME OOOOoooooh. ooooooooooh.

i forgot to read the report by the way

*points at jiei colan* SYMMETRY TOOL LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

oh holy shit wait canon age??? jiei is 48??? ok now that is information i am going to blast into my mind permanently and not like. anything slightly more important

casual fatphobia jumpscare

pink blood scene *nods solemnly*

holy shit i know exactly who the culprit is you wont believe it. im so fucking smart. im a genius im a fucking god fondle my nuts while you blow me

i can already feel seth approaching rapidly because my eyes are getting teary and my chest is doing really funny stuff right now. the sense went off

once he arrives i will keep a list of "memorable and beautiful things seth has done in all his 4 scenes" as well as "memorable and beautiful things desuhiko has done in the entire game or perhaps his life" and then compare once we finish. wish me luck

chapter 1 >>>>>>>>>> every other fucking chapter. i am going to kill a man on this hill

THERE HE COMES .

I'm twitching like hell right now. my muscles yearn for the burroughs

UUAAAAAIIIIIGIHUGFFYDFUUUUUGHGHHHHGAAAAAAAAAAGHUSYDGHSDUUUUUHHHHHHHHGGHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H H

HE HIS STUPID FUCKIDGFG WALK

take that rain cape off you fucking coward this is kanai ward. noticed his lil fox symbol on his back and got reminded of wackpedion's religious seth post but im not gonna look for it now. but yeah he's 100% metal fox church guy i told you this chapter got layerssss to it. this is cinema. video games lore have peaked at rain code chapter 1. scott cawthon has been really silent ever since rain code chapter 1 dropped

his face. its heeehhhhere. i am going tocommit vehicular manslaughter. and ask him why is his skin fucking gray

holy motherfucker I TOTALLY forgot how his japanese voice sounds. he sounds. slightly more normal actually. less pathetic if that was possible. its like he still has hope. help me he sounds so young

i like how. he just calmly extremely quietly tells them to stand up while standing like 20 feet away from them and knowing his voice usually doesn't reach above 30db. like he just stands there mumbling to them to plss get up now knowing they probably can't hear him. he jsut. gives it a try. maybe this time

maybe he's trying to awaken his telepathic abilities.

omg god a charlie radiohead wackpedion oc cameo???? i can't believe that wiki let spike chunsoft put charlie in their game in order to help increase sales it is so cool how they support smaller creators like that once again

that cunty stance. who stands like that.

its not fucking on. how did you notice its not fucking on. or did he just did but tried regardless. dead silence.

truly, a flattering introduction

and he. wasn't even that fucking mad he just gave him a very dissapointed look to go and fix that. which makes me think it has happened before. and numerous times

finally, seth has succeeded. you know whats crazy about that scene?? the peacekeepers were knocked out a solid while ago thats gonna be at least 15, if not just 20 entire minutes. realistically if youre uncounscious for that much time (and im pretty sure halara whacked them on the head) then you're gonna be concussed as fuck perhaps even have serious brain injuries (and im pretty sure halara whacked them on the head HARD) like youre not gonna be ok after this. his voice literally healed them. he commanded them to rise and so they did. combined with the blatant christian themes of rain code (makoto is satan. martina's motorcycle is the ark) the answer is obvious seth is jesus where was i going with this again

seth is so fucking chill its unbelievable. its the fourth time something has happened to him this moment, megaphone guy fucked up the fucking volume and he just. takes a few steps back motions with his arms and doesn't even say anything. if that were yomi he'd just bring out the whip. if that were martina she'd verbally abuse them so fucking hard they would not be able to look her in the eye ever again in their lives. if that were guillaume she'd start screeching at dominic to decapitate that man

i am going to look away whenever they mention Bodies Rotting Quickly In Kanai Ward from now on. i shall not. it is not worth it.

megaphone guy cringe moment

i would say something about the entire "public execution" moment but i think i already said enough before. so.

goodbye seth you absolutely fucking SLAYED it

[boo-gutzz]

Its been a year huh? Happy anniversary yall!

Qsmpblr is so so sweet. It was super scary to post qsmp art for the first time but wow did they accept me in immediatly

Idk how much art for it I'll be posting for now, I want to keep posting for it with crossovers and stuff and so on but it's been rocky and a bit of a strain for my mental health ill admit, as much as I love the qsmp it's been hard

I won't just disappear tho! I can't just leave when I've still got the q Cellbit silent hill AU to continue or my silly life series/qsmp crossovers...

[doseofdillz]

You're Replaceable.

Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by your boss. I’m currently raising my hand.

I’ve had some terrible bosses in my professional life and all three of them had something in common– they love to stretch a bitch out and put as much work on you as possible to get their money's worth out of that sad little salary they so graciously gave you.

My first toxic boss was a real wake up call. He was the president of a major modeling agency, about 5’2, gay, and was “sober” from a wild past life in the fashion industry of the 90’s. He loved making comments as he walked by in his sheer scarf and whatever flamboyant fedora he found laying around his home that morning to cover the balding that was consuming the top of his sun-kissed-shiny-little head. His favorite line to say to me was during lunchtime on his way to his office. “Wow, that’s a lot of food”. You could almost guarantee that he’d bring his frantic energy to every meeting and leave still not knowing what was going on.

When disputes broke out in the small workspace my co-workers and I shared, his remedy was bringing us all in for a “team meeting” then revealing that this was actually a meeting to discuss our issues with each other. I always thought it was his way of pretending to be Andy Cohen refereeing a Real Housewives reunion as a means to get some type of entertainment in his new sober life. Surprise! It never resolved anything, only made our tiny, shared-space more tense and awkward than we left it.

I silent quit after 6 months and remained employed for another 2.5 years babysitting models and going to fabulous parties only so I could sneak a few hor dourves because I could barely afford groceries. 

My next toxic boss came right after that. The universe was testing me, surely. She referred to herself as a “billionairess” and lived on her daddy’s estate. She walked on a crutch due to being thrown off a Zebra on her honeymoon that her parents paid for, of course. My office was the nursery her and her brother were raised in above the garage that held her father’s eccentric car collection and various pieces of fine art. 

She was an artist herself who graduated from Pepperdine in Malibu and got bored one day so she started her own talent agency. Not only did she expect me to represent all her semi-famous friends but she also expected me to represent her as a talent. Her most notable “claim to fame”? She installed art pieces for a very famous family whose last name started with a K. When I couldn’t book her on jobs (because no one cared who she was), she would pout like a 5 year old princess who got told “no” by daddy… as if that was supposed to make me say “you know what, let me call and see if they can change their mind just for YOU”. 

I loathed that woman. Hearing her complain made my jaw clench constantly– she had no clue what the real world consisted of and had no clue I was waking up at the ass crack of dawn to catch the bus to Beverly Hills and walk 40 minutes up her long winding canyon road only to walk for the longest 15 minutes of my life, up her gated, inclined, very chic driveway. I do miss walking past the lemon trees when they were blossoming. To this day, lemon blossoms are still my favorite smell. 2020 came like an answer to my prayers. She had to lay me off and I was finally at peace for the first time in my adult life for the next six months.

My peace came to a screeching halt as I realized this pandemic thing wasn’t going to last the rest of my life, unfortunately. I met my final toxic boss. She lived in Brooklyn, was a lesbian, scorpio, and had major coke rage. I’ve never had someone call, text, email, and slack more frequently and erratically as her. From 8a-11p she wouldn’t stop… she would take adderall in the morning, drink during the day, and cap her nights with lots of cocaine at some fabulous party her PR firm was running. On many occasions she would disappear for a few days at a time, reassuring us upon return that she had only been in jail for a domestic public dispute with her just-as-psycho girlfriend but that everything was “fine”.

The smallest things would set her off. Not adding certain punctuation throughout our meeting notes that was only shared internally. Not responding to her almost immediately after she blasted off texts, emails, and slacks and wondering why we couldn’t get all our day's work finished by 6p on the dot. Requesting time off. The list could go on and on, it really just depended on if she needed to use you as a punching bag that day or not. I never knew which version of her I’d get on the other end.

After 6 months of torture, I woke up one morning, saw her slew of messages awaiting my reply, closed my laptop, blocked her number, and never heard from or spoke to her again. I went back to school, switched careers and am now much happier with a less-cool job in tech. The entertainment industry had chewed me up and spat me out.

What I learned from these three traumatic experiences is that all we have in life is our time and if you’re miserable at the job you’re at every day you wake up, just fucking quit. You’re very replaceable…. And so are they.

I think you’re one of my two all-time favorite artists on Tumblr. I wanna ask so much, but I’ll just start here—what fandoms are you a part of?? You share so many of my favs.

Wow thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it ❤️ Honestly I have way too many interests but I'll spare the unnecessarily long list and just name a few of the main fandoms I've actually made some art for ahem... Some faves in games: Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Devil May Cry, Pokemon, Outlast, Dead by daylight.. for movie franchises: Halloween, Scream, Saw.. also a big fan of Batman comics and the band Ghost

THE TALE OF FOOD

SPRING NIMBUS - PART 2

━

MASTER : Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

MASTER : Ow... Why am I lying face-down on the ground and talking in such a cliché way?

??? : Pfft! I was wondering how a person could have fallen from the sky and landed on me!

An unfamiliar voice can be heard coming from beneath me.

SPRING ROLL : M-Master! Why do you have so many peach blossom branches under you? Get up already! It's not good to damage the plants...

??? : Peach blossom branches? Heh, are you secretly admiring my beauty, kid?

The person underneath me gets up, pats the dust from his body and looks me and Spring Roll up and down.

??? : I hail from Taohua Island and am regarded as Young Tao the nimble swallow! May I know where the two of you are from and where you are going?

The young man before us is dressed like a martial artist in a Chinese opera with extravagant embroidery patterns on his clothing. He is clearly unique. But what's up with the tone as if he's just come out of a martial arts novel...?

MASTER : So you're Young Tao! I've heard stories about you for as long as I can remember. Pleased to meet you! My name is Master and I am regarded as the diligent Master of Kongsang. I am on my way to seek out some friends.

YOUNG TAO : Kongsang?

The youth picks up one of the prints and glances over it in confusion.

YOUNG TAO : Where did you get this poster from? Do you perhaps know the owner of the tea mountain, Layman Longjing?

MASTER : It was a gift from a friend. Judging from your response, you wouldn't happen to know his whereabouts, would you?

YOUNG TAO : Hmph, but of course!

YOUNG TAO : The terrain here is complicated, and he lives high up in the sky! If you're searching on your own, it'll take you months, and you might still fail!

The youth answers calmly, obviously quite knowledgeable about this. The tea mountain stands tall among others and is surrounded by the clouds. Determining the path forward would certainly prove difficult.

MASTER : Hm. How odd...

YOUNG TAO : What's odd? You haven't answered my question yet.

MASTER : Are you truly from Taohua Island? I have heard the martial arts here are superb, and the people are very agile. If that were the case, how was I able to strike you?

YOUNG TAO : ...?!

MASTER : One should only trust what one sees. And it seems the rumors surrounding this amazing martial art do not ring true.

YOUNG TAO : You... fine! Select anywhere on the tea mountain and if I can't take you there, I'll give the title of "Young Tao" to you!

MASTER : Wow, how straightforward! I'll be waiting then!

We silently traverse the numerous treacherous green hills deftly. The higher we climb, the chillier it gets.

Among the wandering clouds, someone had planted a peach blossom forest spanning the entire landscape.

At the peak, there's an old and small pavilion standing deceptively tall amid the fog. It was akin to a single bird perched in a secluded jungle.

SPRING ROLL : Hey, there's a pavilion! So someone really lives this high up in the mountains...

Does my old friend actually live here? I can't help but feel uneasy at the thought of his unique disposition.

He's a strange one who tells me to savor tea and identify its quality. He is only willing to speak to me once I've given him the right answer.

YOUNG TAO : We- we're here! Get down, you rascals! Master, get your hands off my neck!

YOUNG TAO : Cough, cough-

Right after he lets us down, he starts coughing vigorously. For some reason, Young Tao's face seems incredibly translucent under the shine of the midday sun...

SPRING ROLL : Are you alright, Brother Tao? I brought Grandpa Dumpling's calming pill. Take it.

Young Tao takes the pill and stays quiet for a while. But he seems to have something to say.

YOUNG TAO : Buddha's Temptation, Dumpling, Spring Roll... All except for the Master of Kongsang, of whom I've never heard before, are famous dishes.

YOUNG TAO : You're Food Souls, aren't you?

MASTER : Huh? You know about Food Souls? You mean...

I had been so focused on inviting Longjing Shrimp back to Kongsang to meet Buddha's Temptation that I must have overlooked this person. He might have been drifting in the mortal realm alone....

MASTER : Actually, I'm not a Food Soul. I'm the Master temporarily in charge of Kongsang. My father, Yizhi, founded Kongsang with the purpose of providing a comfortable place for Food Souls. If you'd like to join...

YOUNG TAO : No. I'm... I'm not like you!

To my surprise, Young Tao's face falls, and he enters the pavilion without us, looking slightly forlorn.

I exchange a look with Spring Roll. All of a sudden, I hear a strange, dull thud from behind.

Young Tao seems to have triggered some kind of mechanism, and the peach blossom forest seems to shift. A path eventually forms.

YOUNG TAO : Hmph, as I thought. He's still using the defense techniques from Taohua Island. Well, so long as we can find what we're looking for...

He ignores us and heads straight into the forest. Just as I am feeling confused, he bends down and launches himself into the air.

YOUNG TAO : Argh!

Without a second thought, I jump and grab his hand.

MASTER : Quick, grab me! Whoaa, you're so heavy!!!

SPRING ROLL : Be careful, Master!

A slope suddenly appears from behind the third tree, and in my hurry to grab Young Tao, I lose my balance. The three of us fall into the forest maze below...

fran’s 2024 read it and weep 🫵

a comprehensive list of everything i read last year and why you should (or shouldn't) read it as well...

laughing in the hills by bill barich

total snoozefest!! i read this bc i needed a book to occupy me at work and it was in my house and tbh i struggled to get through it bc it’s that dull. there was maybe one line i really liked and that was it

it ends with us by colleen hoover

you already know this sucks. like a lot. somehow it was worse than i imagined, which is saying something bc i had lowww expectations. my friend lent this to me bc she wanted to go see the movie and i had complained so much about my last read, and while it was more of a page turner than the last that’s really the only compliment i can give it

it starts with us by colleen hoover

lent to me by the same friend, still bad. worse, actually. sentence to sentence this was an improvement on the prior book but plot-wise? well there was no plot.

the silent patient by alex michaelides

one thing about me is that i LOVE an unreliable narrator and we get two for the price of one here!! this book was a little slow to start but by the middle i was hooked. super fun read, got me through waiting for new tires to be put on my beautiful car

fire & blood by george r.r. martin

what can i say except house of the dragon got me good… i really enjoyed this but i’m saying that as someone who sunk hours and hours in my high school math classes reading game of thrones. i loved seeing everything laid out ‘historically’ (silmarillion enjoyer 🤡) and it gave not necessarily a new perspective on the show but a deeper one. refreshing as well bc i was disappointed by hotd s2

a raisin in the sun by lorraine hansberry

classic for a reason but it didn’t wow me. like i get why we study it and appreciate the symbolism but it’s so handfed that i couldn’t really get into it - i like to fight for my interpretations

hooked: art and attachment by rita felski

YUCK!! my whole class hated this book and my opinion does not differ. it is a huge ginormous essay that says nothing at all, and the something it’s trying to say isn’t even interesting

parable of the sower by octavia e. butler

now this is a book you must read!! excellent world building with a dystopia that starts off subtle and then explodes. the main character is SO interesting and the way these characters navigate personal relationships + hope vs. pain + survival + religion is fascinating

murder in an irish pub by carlene o’connor

what it says on the tin. this was a shitty little book my coworker bought in an airport, didn’t read, and then gave to me. there were typos in it (embarrassing) and i think it’s part of a loosely connected series that i did not read prior so some sneaky nods to past works were lost on me, but it was no great loss bc this was no great literature

head off & split by nicky finney

poetry that unzips you my beloved 🫶 these poems are so !!!!! you know what i mean?? definitely some of them rely on intimate knowledge of bush-era political failings and i’m just a bit young to really Get That lived experience but this is a really truly gripping and visceral selection of poetry

watershed by percival everett

easily my fav read of the year 🙂‍↕️ i read it in an afternoon and literally could not put it down!! the characters are deeply Real and the interwoven timeline + character moments are gorgeously executed. i’d give more context but this is the kind of book that going in blind adds to the experience
