I LOVE Lu Guang canonically being a sleepy sun kitty so here are two scenarios I thought of surrounding it:

Trio having planned game afternoon/night but when Qiao Ling comes over, she's suspicious to see Cheng Xiaoshi quietly playing games on his own phone on the floor. Turns out Lu Guang was reading on the couch and got tired, so the siblings opt to play silent scrabble until their third part wakes up

Lu Guang being especially lethargic one day so Cheng Xiaoshi puts him in his favorite little couch corner, where he promptly curls up and falls asleep. A client later comes in asking for photos that the white-haired one said he'd develop, so Qiao Ling and Cheng Xiaoshi are like "oh he's resting right now :) but just tell us which photos and we'll bring them right up"

Something awesome about the serious and stoic one somehow also having his guard low enough to just sleep on the couch in the middle of the day

wrt the "all of neil gaiman's books are actually stolen and he's lifted every single plot from some other, worthier writer": are we doing this because we actually believe that or are we doing this because we can't accept that bad people could ever make something beautiful or good or inspiring. we have Got to stop. we cannot retroactively sour grapes every single work of art created by every rapist, misogynist, cheater, and liar to exist. fucking stop equating beauty with goodness. austin jones has an incredible voice. austin jones is a horrific person. fucking hold it in your hands and look at it and be uncomfortable with it. beauty is not goodness. beauty is not goodness.

Good trope: Character yelling, "It's not what it looks like!" while doing exactly what it looks like.

Great trope: Character yelling, "It's not what it looks like!" while doing something so unfathomable that the person who interrupted them can't even begin to attempt to figure out what the hell it is they're seeing.

Dude it is SO FUN and EXCITING to see a reoccurring reader. If you've commented a handful of times on an author's work, I guarantee that they recognize you. You can't imagine how many times I've excitedly informed my friends "the person with the funny cat image commented!" "- anon is back!!!!" and the friends've recognized who I was talking about because I talk about my commenters so often LOL. We love you all!!!

fascinated by how "dislocate" seems to be a word used almost exclusively to refer to the misalignment of bodies, or parts of the body, from their proper place. it's distinctly anatomical. you don't say "i dislocated my keys" for instance, even though that's technically a correct and coherent sentence.
