when will you updated blue story ?!

To be fair, I have a large part of the chapter done, but (there is a but) I'm still working on the climax of the script, I have tried different approaches and I am still not convinced by the result, which is why I have let it cool and I have returned to other projects both in art as in my personal life (and I have also dedicated more time to commissions). Sorry to keep you waiting🥺🥺here's a peek..

The take about Jiang cheng and the dogs thing was kinda strange to me. Unfortunately, children don't regulate their emotions very well. When their feelings get overwhelming, they don't act with compassion or empathy, they react to the immediate situation, especially when a new sibling is involved. It's pretty common for a kid to feel forgotten or unloved when a new sibling comes along, and when you're at that age, anger is a common reaction to things like that. I don't think him being mad about losing his dogs and then kicking Wuxian out shows sociopathy or even just a lack of empathy toward Wuxian specifically. It's just being a kid, especially being a kid who's gotten to have the attention suddenly being left out of the attention (or at least feeling that way) when a new sibling comes along.

In Jiang Cheng's case it is more like, even before Wei Wuxian arrived, he felt he was unloved, and didn't have he attention onto him (great parenting madam yu and jfm!); and of course, you are right. Being childish at an age where you are, well, a child is no issue. It's endearing.

But what I also wish to restate is that Jiang Cheng was already eight or nine years old. I do feel "empathy" is something natural to people; yet the point still isn't about what he did when he was 8 or 9 years old.

The post I'd targeted said something like Jiang Cheng "gave and gave" and Wei Wuxian "took and took." Him acting like a child would, at the age of 8 or 9, isn't a big deal. But I wished to draw more attention to the detail that his current actions (whether it be 36 years old, or 20 years old) were still similar to the actions of his younger self!

I don't wish to condemn him for being an average child; people change a lot when they grow up, but in his case, the tragedy is that he didn't.

He has never encouraged Wei Wuxian's interactions with anyone other than himself; if someone praises him, or gives him attention, he finds it an insult to his own self; he uses his fears against Wei Wuxian; instead of taking responsibility he shirks it off, letting Wei Wuxian hide the truth (about just WHAT the Wens had done for them) and bear his debts, and keep his name clear. When Wei Wuxian acts on his own he thinks it was a personal offense to him.

That's why I found that scene important - Jiang Yanli tries to catch Wei Ying but fails and he gets injured anyways (like when she had him come for JL's 100th day but he got ambushed); she tries to maintain a peace between the two and this "pact" grows thinner and thinner and completely snaps after she's gone.

Similarly, even after his death, Wei Wuxian doesn't tell Lan Wangji why he climbed that tree though he remembers. He thinks Madam Yu wasn't that cruel. The only growth he has is that this time, instead of asking to be let in, he leaves on his own, exhausting his patience.

But Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng felt bitter, unloved, stuck in his own misery, thinking his parents loved Wei Wuxian more than him, scaring him with dogs, fearing the repurcussions. But now? His parents are long dead. Wei Wuxian died for 13 years. Yet, he hasn't changed at all.

That's the point I wanted to make by using the parallels of that childhood event. Having no space for empathy at that age wasn't "wrong" but it's the fact he never gains it throughout his life.

Honestly, I must say it's a bit surprising that out of all the things I said in that post, this stood out to you. But if it is genuine concern, then that is all well ^^

Does bianca live with Cartoon cat?

Yes she does, they cohabit in his rickety, creepy, abandoned mall in the middle of the woods, that sometimes just randomly changes locations depending on Cartoon Cat's whims. It's way bigger on the inside, but that too, and the layout of the building itself, depends on Cartoon Cat's current vision. Everything pretty much depends on Cartoon Cat.

It's not necessarily bad living conditions. Most often the mall is fully or partially furnished, so Bianca can find clothes, entertainment, furniture, commodities, and occasionally food, though she gets claustrophobic and makes a point to make her 'groceries' someplace else from time to time. The water and electricity can be an issue and there is no shower, but the good ol' strategy of "messing with shit until it works" never failed a Toon. She manages. And Cartoon Cat only needs fresh meat & entertainment.

Although according to Cartoon Cat, if Bianca just stopped to worry about human necessities she would find Toon Life a heck of a lot easier.

I'm not technically finished with this book, but I did read some of it this year... That counts, right? ^.^ And it was the book that I liked the most of the few that I read this year. I found the reading challenging but the story was fun, and I am reading it in English too.

Hi, I enjoyed your Gray character analysis. Wondering if you have an ETA on the completion of the series?

Hello! Thank you very much for your words! It's a pleasure to know that you are enjoying it! Yes! I already announced in other asks that I will start writing in November to start publishing it in January of the next year! I'll finally have time to finish my analysis!

Hello. Sorry to bother but what is adow the creator series? What's the difference compared to the regular one?

Hi Anon:

So glad you ask. The Creator Series contains extras like interviews and behind the scenes, and has its own section on SundanceNow.

You watch three seasons of the Creator Series just like the regular episodes, but at certain interval(s), the bonus clips pop up (usually they are 2 to 5 mins long; though in season 1 as many as 3 short clips appear in one episode). The common thread is author and executive producer, Deborah Harkness's personal commentary, shedding more insights and relevance to today's world. Her extended interview was recorded before season one premiere in the US, but SundanceNow cleverly intercut the segments with episodes of all three seasons with more behind the scenes. I think fans can find these clips enjoyable, and fulfilling, especially now that the series ends.

So each episode in the Creator Series has its own theme, for example, in Season 3

3.01 Matthew and diana's babies "emotional rollercoaster" - DH

3:02 Jack's Back

3.03 Blood Rage

3:04 Magic and Science

3:05 How do we treat people not like us… - DH

3:06 Worldbuilding

3:07 Diana's Awakening

I love the Season 3 Creator Series more for some reason (it's the last), and find the blood rage, magic and science, how do we treat others who are different, and Diana's segments particularly touching.

GIF: mine. Matthew GoodE as Matthew Clairmont and the brilliant Toby Regbo as Jack Blackfriars in 3.02.

If you have been following the series on social media, you may find some the Creator Series bts familiar, as they have been posted by AMC TV/BBC America and SundanceNow before. But still, occasionally, I found this gem in Season 2 Creator Series, which I didn't see in the social media footage before. This led me think there are more, much more behind the scenes, could be just raw footage, which the broadcasters did not show. And I wonder why, why, they didn't include in the blu-ray/dvd collections! (Ugh!!!)

GIF: mine. Haha Matthew knows something magical is going to happen to his tie :D

By the way, the extras do not necessarily appear in the chronological order of the episodes. For example, the above "reveal" appears in Creator Series Season 1 Episode 8 (finale). That just makes it more fun, isn't it?

One may say, it's just another gimmick to lure fans into signing up for SundanceNow (the streaming subscription war is intense here, as some streaming services may be absorbed into other streaming giants, or some may not last.) But aren't we all suckers for more Matthew and Diana? Thank God for our Daily ADoW Essentials 🔥📖✨❤️❤️

If you don't mind, can I ask something from MDZS? What do you think are Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji’s greatest personality strengths and weaknesses? Why? What do you love about their dynamic? Sorry if you've answered these questions before.....

Hi, anon! Sure, you can ask. I love asks. It's fun to think about MDZS .

Wei Wuxian:

Strength: I think his most important strength is his ingenuity, like this guy will use all that is near and available to him, to serve his purpose. He's really flexible, and can adapt easily, even his manner of speaking varies greatly; when he's angry, it becomes so cold and formal, yet, he can speak so cutely as well. There's this line in the book - "if he were poor, he could sleep under a tree. If he were rich, he could sleep in a mansion." He's so dauntless and I love that. Another major strength of his is his true empathy; even in the pits of hell, he made friends with the ghosts. The scene where he kisses the skeletal arm? Amazing. There are so many more strengths honestly; the way he is confident about his abilities, the way he will do the right thing even knowing that he would not be rewarded or thanked; he doesn't force debts onto others for his offered kindness; doesn't hold resentment; forgives the wrongs against him and is really, really smart.

Weakness: too good for this world. Joking. But I do think all of his weaknesses come from being a gem among the hay - too righteous, too kind, too good, unable to abandon those he cares about, willing to shoulder all sorts of burdens and some assholes just keep on adding more. not the type to complain or talk about his true feelings; too dismissive of his own emotions; moves on with the next thing a little too quickly; if he doesn't want to face something, HE WILL FORGET IT. He plays off so much shit; there are layers to his narration. You need to look really closely to find out what really hurts him or how he feels. He's like a damn butterfly fluttering around the main essence of things when it is about his feelings, his thoughts etc.

Lan Wangji:

Strength: His own righteousness and moral code that makes him take punishment even when it's not his fault; that makes him injure 33 clan elders and return later for punishment, that makes him traverse the world for 10 years, helping every minor cause. Even Wei Wuxian is bored on their 'going where the chaos is' (but of course, he will go). He is also the same, wishing to just stand by Wei Wuxian. He doesn't need a relationship, doesn't need thanks or apologies. Secondly, his dependability - he has honed his skills to a level of near-perfection, whether it be the art of the sword, cultivation, calligraphy, sex, etc - a very methodical approach. Also, his true empathy; how he is so soft at heart, like a young boy. Pure-hearted, wielding his sword with mercy. So, he's able to empathize with people and understand each of their circumstances while still making the righteous and most reasonable calls. One of his major strengths is also in his attitude towards things. He doesn't get worked up when people insult him (Wen Chao scolding him during Qishan Wen Indoctrination after the Wen burnt his clan and yet, he still didn't respond to the provocations.) He keeps his mind especially calm, and open, and doesn't draw conclusions until there is valid evidence (the only person who makes him lose his cool is WWX.)

Weaknesses: Suppresses his desires, wants and humane needs a lot; struggles to communicate what he truly wishes to say; stubborn to no end, unrelenting; unable to handle much teasing, mutilated trees and kicks rocks, struggles sharing his thoughts or doesn't wish to share them lmao.

I've written a post about what I like about their dynamic before; here it is !

What's bianca and Cartoon cats Favorite color?

"You're not doing a fantastic job of breaking the allegations, you know that"

"{That's because I wasn't tryin'~}"

They do have their preferences... Bianca likes white and yellow, with sky/cyan blue being a close favourite, and Cartoon Cat is an edgy bitch

Dream being allowed a shower... someone (coughDustorKillercough) stealing his clothes.

Hmm, well while Dust and Killer don't exactly like Dream being in the hideout in OSDiff due to the stress that his presence is clearly bringing Nightmare, I don't think they'd go as far as to steal his clothes like that. Mainly because doing so would just make Nightmare even more stressed and most likely annoyed at them. A prank like that wouldn't really benefit either of them and certainly won't improve Nightmare's mood that's for sure.

Your ask did make me realise that I need to include a section of a chapter where Dream gets to clean himself up tho and its given me a few ideas on how to make that work ~~some of which are even angsty :3!~~ so thanks for giving me the idea Anon ^w^!

Feel free to send me more chapter ideas anytime!

10 for the language ask!

10. Favorite language learning moment this year?

I would have to say one of my favorite language learning moments this year was being able to speak with new ママ友 (mom friends) at my son's Japanese preschool, and being invited to mom activities with them.

Interacting in large groups (there are over 30 kids in the school!) can be intimidating for me since the flow of conversation can be difficult to catch when it's not one-on-one, but I felt like I have improved and now I am not always so lost in big group discussions. It was also so kind of them to welcome me in! (I'm one of two non-Japanese moms, and the only one who speaks Japanese)

I LOVE your gray character analysis, it's so well written and helped me understand his character more. Please complete it, i completly understand if you don't want to but i'll definitely read it if you do.

also, do you like the brainwashing/mindwiping trope in general, i'm presonally not a fan of it but i really like how CS went with it.

Hi!

Wow! Thank you very much for your comment! I'm very happy that my analysis has helped you in this way! It was one of my main intentions for doing this work. I love doing character analysis to understand the characters, and I'm really happy that I'm achieving it with this work on Gray. And Yes! I'm going to finish it! I have already decided that in November I will begin to continue Gray's analysis and in January I will begin to publish it. I want to finish it with great pleasure!

Regarding the brainwashing/mindwiping trope in general I don't have any problem. Maybe I also don't have a problem with it because I haven't come across it much in the series I've seen. But yes, I loved how they handled it in CS. They did it very well, and it never went into cliches themes or with meaningless or "deus ex machina" type solutions. How Gray got his brainwashing, how he acted during this, how he recovered his memories and the consequences of this event helped Gray develop, were handled very naturally and flowed wonderfully with the series.

I consider it's an unanswered question,

I love all the drawings I've done in one way or another,

but I couldn't choose a favorite one,

however, I do love looking at specific aspects of my drawings, bits that I find very satisfying.
