A slightly unhinged case for jin guangyao knowing about the core transfer while WWX was still alive
Ok. SO. In chapter 101, during guangyin temple, Jin Guangyao clearly knows about the golden core transfer. He uses it to bring Jiang Cheng off-kilter and stab him and simultaneously reveals to wwx that jc himself now knows about the golden core transfer.
I've always wondered exactly when he figured it out. The most obvious explanation is that he pieced it together after hearing about Jiang Cheng asking everyone to unsheathe suibian (also? jgy? how the fuck do you know that? You were already going to/at Guanyin temple at this point! Did you just have people listen in on rumours from Yunmeng and report back to you for that?? Did you tell your spy network where you were going? My whole kingdom for a retelling of this arc from the pov of these random jin disciples seeing their sect leader start spiralling. He's diggin up random tombs? Fleeing the country? And threatening the heir's life?? What was random Jin cultivator #6 thinking of this before Nie Mingjue turned him into minced meat?)
BUT.
The first time I read that line I was like "oh so he's known for a WHILE." I mean, the line "I've always found it peculiar [that wwx never took his sword anywhere]" does indicate he's been thinking about this for a while, but it doesn't have to mean he knew back then. So I absolutely can't say with certainty that my instinct was right. But I DO have some decent canon backing for how he might have potentially figured things out as early as before Wei Wuxian's death. Specifically, after the discussion scene that takens place when wei wuxian does his thing with the wens and dissapears.
Cause, see, Wen Chao would definitely have bragged about Wen Zhuliu crushing Jiang Cheng's core to his father. He killed the current sect leader, and then permanently disabled the only heir. He did it! the Jiang are gone! I bet he was very loud about it until, a few weeks later, Jiang Cheng suddenly strolls up to the battlefield, with Zidian on his finger, cultivation very much intact, looking for Wei Wuxian.
That must've been fucking baffling if you were Wen Chao and/or Wen Zhuliu and/or any other cultivator who was there and definitely saw Jiang Cheng's core get crushed. They must have assumed something went wrong, or he faked having his core destroyed, but we've never heard of something like that happening before, and they tortured him for hours! It wasn't a quick batle where Wen Zhuliu must have missed in haste, he would've noticed!
Now, by the time Meng yao arrives, wen zhuliu and wen chao are both long dead, but that kind of thing would at least still be a source of gossip among the other Wen. The only time the core melting hand ever failed!
It might be something that, say... a very careful spy with a perfect memory looking for information... might pick up on in his stay with the Wen, no?
So, Meng Yao has heard the rumour that sect leader Jiang got his core crushed but somehow managed to... still have a core.
Independantly of his, Wei Wuxian is being really weird and refusing to carry his sword. His primary concern there is wwx stirring shit up, he has no reason to believe these things are connected yet.
But then Wei Wuxian runs off with a bunch of Wen, and before he is cut off, Jiang Cheng tells everyone that after the siege on lotus pier, he and wei wuxian were helped by Wen Qing and Wen Ning! Jiang Cheng doesn't get to say how, which is good for jgy in this moment because he's trying to steer the conversation as such that no one gets mad at the Jin sect for all the war crimes, but even if his goal is for everyone else to forget Jiang Cheng said that, he'd remember it.
So... after the moment where jiang cheng, according to rumours that were contained to the wen, lost his core, he was helped by wen ning and wen qing, who is a really good doctor. And, in canon, had written theoretical proposals on core transfers before, just never experimented on them. Were these available for others among the Wen to read? Did jgy read them? We have no way of knowing. But if he did, he remembers them. Either way, he knows her reputation.
And Wei Wuxian disappeared right round that same moment, only to resurface with his demonic cultivation, at which point he never touched his sword again. Not even in the middle of a dangerous war. Not even when he was public enemy number one and it would do wonders for his reputation if he was seen cultivating the traditional path. When doing so would have made not just him but the 50 people he was shielding safer! if Jin guangyao was somehow in his position, he'd immediately do everything he could to counteract the narrative of beign a dangerous madman who'd left the straight path. Wei Wuxian has been in absolutely desperate situations and still refuses to pick up his sword...
The saying doesn't exist yet, but i'm sure someone like jgy, more competent than everyone around him, is intimately familair with at least the sentiment of "never ascribe to malice what is adequately explained by incompetence" He is helping spread the narrative of Wei Wuxian as a violent madman, sure, but does he believe it? If it makes no sense for wei wuxian, no longer a privileged young master but an outcast, to not pick up his sword again out of arrogancy, the most reliable explanation is that he... can't.
So Jiang Cheng, who got his core melted, got help from Wen Qing, an incredible doctor, after which he coud cultivate just fine but Wei Wuxian, no matter how desperate, never used traditional cultivation ever again...
Hm. interesting!
It's likely no one else in the jianghu outside of the wen even knew Jiang Cheng lost his core to begin with. And Jin Guangyao was never given wwx's excuse of Baoshan Sanren owing him a favor like Jiang Cheng was. He has all the puzzle pieces in front of him and... if anyone as gonna put them together, it'd be him.
And that's my unhinged case for why I believe Jin Guangyao knew Wei Wuxian didn't have a golden core anymore years before anyone else did. He just never told anyone, because why would he?
I think this adds a whole other level to his speech to Jiang Cheng about how everything could've worked out if he'd just trusted Wei Wuxian more and stood by his side. He saw it all play out in real time knowing there was more going on beneath the surface!
Now the really interesting question becomes: When did he figure out Jiang Cheng himself wasn't in on it? Did he piece it together immediately from remembering seeing jiang cheng berate wwx for not carrying a sword, a thing he should've known he couldn't do? Or was it not until later, maybe the fake yunmeng bros fallout, or the REAL fallout when Jiang Yanli died? Or was it still the news of Jiang Cheng going around and asking everyone to unsheathe subian that made him realize that oh my god this stupid bitch had no idea the whole time.

this....was not supposed to be a full on illustration :S was very much inspired by @sheep-turtles-and-pizza's lovely drawing of mikey with flowers in his hair
i was rereading somerandomdudelmao comic (again lol) so the hair matches more in that comic than algae like in the original design
i just...kept tinkering and adding to it and playing around with CSP brushes
would like to do the crypid version but i'm not good with drawing spooky stuff so i put all my self-indulgence in this
i hope crypid mikey becomes a fandom darling

Thinking about a Trigun au I made a while back that is super self indulgent with a side of projection /pos
I called it the Stale Donuts AU after the donuts I would sometimes get from H-E-B as a kid that, as far as I can remember, were always vaguely stale.
It is at its core, a modern AU–Cryptid Vash–Vashwood story hybrid hodgepodge thing that was also!!! Very much inspired by multiple fics I had either read or was reading at the time!!! And of course full of yummy delicious self indulgence and self projection with bits of me spread throughout like the stale donuts thing!!! Yippee!!!!!!
On to the bits and bops of the au itself in a very rambling way (I'm sorry):
Wolfwood is Mexican American and the main pov of the thing. He lives in an apartment with Livio, who's going to the local college (go girl go, get that higher education ✨). Wolfwood drives a motorcycle because why wouldn't he BUT he ALSO owns a motorcycle place where you can get shit repaired and customized an shit like that (I don't know vehicle things ITS A COOL IDEA I DONT KNOW IF ITS ACCURATE). Meryl also probably works there with him, because in my mind I can't for the life of me separate the thought of Meryl and driving things probably because I watched Stampede first but that's besides the point—we're ignoring that. Livio, Wolfwood, Meryl, and Milly were all friends in highschool (maybe they were in a shitty band?? That's a thought for a different day) and stayed friends into their adult lives (they all care about each other so much guys). ALSO this whole thing takes place in Texas, so AT SOME POINT one of them worked at Whataburger and one of them worked at a DQ I don't know WHO WAS WHERE but at LEAST ONE OF THEM I SWEAR.
Anyways
On his way to the motorcycle shop, Wolfwood passes the H-E-B and has to drive over a short bridge. Guess where he finds Vash.
One day he's coming home from work, and as he's crossing over the bridge he suddenly stops because JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING. Illuminated by the motorcycle headlights, a large, feathered...something startles and crawls over the edge with a sound of pain, leaving behind a trail of blood. Yippee!! Vash makes an appearance!! Of course Wolfwood's freaked the fuck out by the bleeding thing under the bridge, yet for some reason he follows it anyway (I haven't really thought of anything except hey that thing looked kinda hurt and Melanie raised him with compassion ig so)(and I love stupid men). He sees that this giant bird is 100% actually kinda injured (imagine getting hit by a car) and manages to calm it down enough to help it out at least a little, but he's also kinda on his way home and can only see with a flashlight, so there's not much he can do. He does toss it a snack he found hidden in his jacket tho. After that whole cryptid nonsense, Wolfwood stops at H-E-B! (YIPPEEE!!) Livio sends him a text. "You should totally get me a donut from the bakery"
"Still can't believe you actually like those" he sends back, still getting a plain glazed for himself. He offhandedly wonders if the bird thing would like donuts.
The next morning, now armed with a first aid kit, he buys a donut and stops at the bridge, hoping the creature from before is still there. Oh hey look, the creature from before! Now that it's daytime, Wolfwood can clearly see that yeah, that thing is definitely hurt. He says hi, and the creature seems to recognize him from the night before, but still won't let him get close enough to fully see anything other than feathers and old scars. Donut time!! The perfect distraction!!! I don't know what kind of injuries Vash has, but whatever it is Wolfwood manages to patch it up at least a little bit while he's munching on the donut. I like to imagine he's at least a little bit good at caring for animals (specifically birds) because Tristamp Wolfwood taking care of Thoma chicks makes me ill (/pos) so uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh chickens. And maybe like, a cockatiel for fun. Miss Melanie had chickens and a cockatiel that the kids would help take care of. It ends up becoming a routine where Wolfwood stops at the bridge to chill with the bird cryptid every morning and evening. Eventually he ends up telling Livio, Meryl and Milly about Vash. He also very quickly figures out that Vash has human level intelligence and isn't just a giant freaky animal and Vash manages to communicate what his name is!!! Yippee!!!
In this Vash has the Big Bird™ cryptid form and a normal human one, but can't switch between them when he's injured (like being hit by a car) so it's really great that this random human guy is helping him out.
The first time Wolfwood sees Vash de-birdified is hilarious because he goes to the bridge like normal and sees feathers everywhere, no giant bird in sight, and a vaguely familiar naked blond man chilling in the middle of it all. As soon as he sees Wolfwood, his face lights up and he starts excitedly waving.
"Wolfwood!"
"Needle Noggin?!"
"Look I'm all better!!"
Plot wise, no fuckin clue where it goes from here, vibe wise fuck it we ball. All I know is hijinx ensues and it's great fun all around YIPPEEEEEEE!!!
I think that's all I got for now, might post more if I think of anything✨✨✨

Is Carole in Star Rail??? WAIT WHAT'S HAPPENING IM SO CONFUSED????
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honkai Star Rail's train (left) and the train from the video/trailer thing (right) is similar
OK update, after a bit of reading, the train from the video might be the "Cosmic Juggernaut" which is used to "look across the Imaginary Tree into other universes" ... which also looks similar to Akivili's train in Star Rail so uhh,
The comments are very contradictive, some say it is a Star Rail teaser while newer comments say it is non-canon now, as it was just a "concept animated short"
I barely know who Carole is apart from some glimpses I caught while skipping through the APHO1 story
But, hypothetically, if Carole WAS indeed in Star Rail with Welt, then the mysterious girl character mentioned in Welt's character story might be her...?
Tumblr media
The names are just speculations, for all I know I could've completely missed the mark lol
----
OK, after giving it more thought, combinations for the names might be
March 7th, ???, Dan Heng, Himeko, Trailblazer
???, March 7th, Dan Heng, Himeko, Trailblazer
Pom-pom(?), March 7th, Dan Heng, Himeko, Trailblazer
Trailblazer(?), March 7th, Dan Heng, Himeko, Pom-pom(?)
For combination #3 : Why I put pom-pom in question mark is bc they don't seem very prominent in the story, thus I'm not sure if they fit the "protagonist" label.
For combination #4 : My brother proposed the fifth was Pompom because they look so much like a mascot character in cartoons and thus is a "common character in cartoons". Also the character is referred to as a "creature", not a human/person. Also, I guess the trailblazer's personality may be seen as "sparkling"? maybe? And there is no reference to gender
------
None of my brothers who have Welt have reached level 80, and Idk anyone who reached that level already so I can't like, double check it
Also why is it "[blank]'s relationship"?
I'm assuming since it's Welt's own character story and Welt's OWN LOG, it would be talking about himself. Is he referring to his old name, Joachim? Or is it from another character's POV?
Also 2, why are the names redacted? I assumed it was the Astral Express because he mentioned "protagonists", since he refers to the trailblazer as the "protagonist". But could it be with some other characters from other games?

Okay blame @monica-rambeau for encouraging me to put this out here but like if anyone wants to fic this PLEASE do cos I have no talent and lots of ideas❤️❤️
(Linked posts go in more detail of what I’m imagining)
At the madney wedding:
Buck being wedding planner and maid of honor (clipboard and all)
Buckley siblings pinky promise for posterity ALSO PLEASE ON MY HAND AND KNEES FOR A “found it” reference like how Maddie in her letter to buck saying for him to be happy and find the people that make him happy and love and etc
Adorable wedding stuff
SPEECHES I NEED SPEECHES (also if during those speeches someone -buck👀- talks about how madney pretended to be just friends but took the risk then like there is an oh moment mid speech looks over at Eddie while saying sappy shit™️ that’s about madney and love but really about Eddie and them)
Then like bouquet toss: Buck accidentally catches it
Later Eddie finds him and buck is having a moment™️ and he sorta starts talking about how like his relationships haven’t worked out and he keeps going after the wrong person and he just want xyz (descriptions similar to the you don’t find it son you make it and the Bobby speeches aka describing Eddie) and he’s like talking about how he doesn’t think he’ll ever get it and then Eddie’s like you’ll get it and bucks like you don’t know that Eddie’s like yes I do bucks like how do you know that Eddie’s like I just do (yes this whole last part is basically a luke and loralie from Gilmore girls scene but sue me🙄) then like they have a moment™️ and then they get interrupted

People can’t come back from the dead.
It’s not a place you can go, death. There’s no bridge to cross, no river to ford, no gate to open – moving from one place to another requires a path and a body to walk it and a light to see by, and death takes all three. I know this. Everyone knows this.
"You have done my kin a great service," the Lady says, in her voice like wind rustling through leaves. "I will give you a gift, in return."
I had expected as much. She won’t let me leave her lands with a debt unpaid, and she can’t hold me here however much she would like to.
Not that it’s beyond her, mind you. It would just be politically problematic.
"I thank you for your generosity," I say, polite, and don’t dare wonder what she might see fit to give me. A gift, I know, is only as good as the giver’s knowledge of you, and I have taken great pains to ensure the Lady knows very little of me.
I hope, distant, small, that she won’t remake any of me.
She curves up her lips at the corners, doesn’t bare her teeth, and waves a hand. A gateway opens, nearer to me than to her, and something steps through. Someone? Tall and thin, bipedal, plain dark clothes, hearth-warm and alive, sharp dark eyes, face I see in my sleep, alive, alive–
I swallow, and make myself look at the Lady. "What is this?"
She tilts her head, bird-like, hunter-like. "Do you reject my gift?"
Questioning her is not wise. Walking into her lands was not wise – Leaving my home, such as it is, for anything other than the necessities isn’t wise. I have never lost the knack of weighing the costs. I know full well what I do.
I keep going. I get up, I keep going, I wear smooth and safe the path for anyone who comes after.
"I accept your gift," I tell her. "Your debt is paid." The weight of my words rings, metal pulled from the heat and struck sure. She nods her head, just once, and becomes small and winged – a sparrow, with a long tail and a hooked beak – and takes her leave.
We are alone in the clearing. It makes more sense, now, that the Lady met me here, in the gatewoods, with no guards. I have heard nothing of her giving impossible gifts. I wonder who else would necessitate such a show of power.
Bel looks just as I remember them.
That is, I think, the shirt they were wearing. The hole is gone, as if never there.
They’re looking at me. The gateway closed behind them, and the clearing is quiet, and for all I have dreamt of this moment I cannot think of a single thing to say.
"Hey," they say, soft. "Where are we?"
They’re looking at me with concern. I am far beyond knowing what my face is doing.
"Old realm," I say, somehow. "Oak and holly. Hill folk, mostly. Not many travellers."
"Why are we here?"
"There was a–" I trip over a word I haven’t used in years. I don’t say it. "There was a beast. I– made peace. Helped make peace. You–" Oh, the crease above their nose, how did I forget it, all the lines of their face I’ve spent so long tracing. "What do you remember?"
Their frown deepens. "You were here for a job?" I nod, once, and they glance around, look me over. "We should leave, then."
My pack rests on my shoulder, and we’re standing in the gatewoods. It’s not a difficult conclusion to draw. It hits me, anyway, like a blow. Their assessment of the situation; how much I still trust it.
I take a breath, and pull open a gateway. There’s no wards, not here – the Lady has other means of preventing an exit. No need to lock the door when it sits so high in the wall, so far from the floor. Bel hums, some suspicion confirmed, and waits for me to step through first.

Thinkin about things this lovely Friday noon and like.
I absolutely love how everyone I see here has stylistic and aesthetic choices that they deliberately and consistently make when they're designing or playing their characters. Things that pop out to me when I'm scrolling where I can know whose work I'm looking at without referencing the icon or blog name. It's a downright inspiration scrolling my dash and seeing y'all's finely curated characters ❤️

A while back, someone mentioned in the tags of my Darktail and Onestar post that swapping Sol's ShadowClan plotline with Darktail's WindClan one would have been interesting, and ngl. I actually sorta want to do that in my au... like Sol isn't Onestar's kid, but he goes to WindClan during Po3 where Onestar is probably near his lowest, hes deeply paranoid and resentful at what he was put through in Starlight and he's starting to lash out more, and Sol takes advantage of that and makes him become even more disillusioned with clan culture and StarClan. Sol coordinates the Eclipse Battle as a way to manipulate the clans into destroying one another, and WindClan is at the forefront. Maybe he even convinces Onestar that dismantling the clans is what's best for him. Idk though, throwing spaghetti at the wall here

god this video about autism speech patterns. idk how to finish that sentence, but hey i’m autistic so that happens. i relate to nearly all of it so it’s nice to know that i don’t just “talk weird,” most autistic people are like this.
i don’t agree with their “autism isn’t actually real” opinion (i get why they think it, when they explain it. but it’s just not a belief i hold), but it’s still a wonderful video.
one part of it makes me think about “internet speak” like saying things like “blorbo” instead of “character i like” or “trash panda” instead of “raccoon.” it’s seen as cringey by a lot of people but for a lot of autistic people that’s just how we communicate.
online i try to rephrase my posts to make more sense to allistics to understand, but i don’t have the spoons for that today so you get my autism speech. sorry if it’s harder to read for you.

I went looking for some of the old dadcourse after chatting with Ren about it and I’ve realized why it died. It’s because I won. To clarify, sometimes I get struck by a fatal adhd urge to figure out where everyone exists within the world of an au. The more I think about the au, the more guys I fit into the au, the more I’m winning. Except eventually I hit the end. I run out of boys. Once I’ve run out of current and former pens to shoehorn into the au that’s it. It’s over. I’ve slotted all the boys into place and finished the puzzle. I’ve won. Sometimes I still need to put the convoluted mess into words via dms or tumblr but still that’s the end of it. I’ve solved the riddles three (or forty) and untangled all the threads. What else is there to write? I know where everyone is and what they’re doing. Why would I need to write anything else? Plot? I don’t know her.
That dear followers is how you beat the adhd and never write a goddamn word of it.

"i want to create a character with project mili vibes" levcria: 🧍‍♀️
i kinda want her and rowan's "cinematic universe" to have the vibes of my favorite mili songs actually. i don't really have thoughts about making it coherent yet but i have characters that i'd love to make based on songs of theirs. idk maybe it's just an excuse to get back into listening to mili. maybe it's an excuse to talk more about lev and rowan.
bc i feel like rowan is like. the outlier. everything in this world is so...ethereal and otherworldly. even the cleric that's meant to sort of ground them and be their link back to reality (whoop there goes gravity). is ethereal and otherworldly. she makes sense in this world more than rowan does. and i think exploring how deeply fucking lonely rowan is would be so much fucking fun. bwuh. this is the kinda stuff that makes me love writing actually. i don't even care if i've never had a unique thought i forgot how much i love the freedom to create boundlessly
