“St. Lucy of Syracuse—eyeless, sightless, and carrying her baby blues on a platter, two ripe, round grapes like I’d put on a dish on Halloween when I was nine and I’d make my 10 year old boyfriend put his fingers into it and I tell him, ‘They’re my dogs’, can’t you tell? I pulled ‘em out today just for you.’ And right there on the spot he’d confess his undying love to me.” (excerpt from patty chang’s melons)

You know what genuinely kept me up until 1am last night about FH: Junior Year, the Bad Kids could have been facing such worse enemies if Porter actually thought about who would be best in Kipperlily’s place.
My mind goes directly to Ragh or Hargis, both very powerful kids who were in pretty bad situations. Ragh was wrapped up with the Harvest Men and in denial about his sexuality. Wait I forgot, Porter did try and mess with Ragh with his silly "Barbarian healing", would Porter have tried some shit if the Bad Kids hadn't taken Ragh on Summer break with them? I’m thankful every day the Bad Kids took him in. Hargis in turn also could have dodged a bullet by meeting the Bad Kids. Like a shy theatre nerd that struggles socially with his passion, who is a Goliath fighter no less is a recipe for (not necessarily hate-filled) but a rage-filled disaster. That beige aura really did good for him I think.
AND WHAT ABOUT YELL. Danielle would have been in so much trouble if she didn’t find the Maidens. A socially ostracised girl that can’t find a permanent adventuring party because of her beliefs and actions gets tricked into using her druidic powers to spread the rage-star powder all across Elmville. I am shaking Porter’s shoulders violently rn, BRO. A DRUID. YOU SKIPPED ON A DRUID FOR YOUR EVIL PLAN OML.
Zayn also could have been bad news if Porter got his shit together faster for a similar reason. He. Is. A. Necromancer. A necromancer. And probably one of the most vulnerable people from season 1, just one discussion with Daybreak and it’s a sealed deal but noooo. Please don’t get me wrong, I don’t want any of the students to be brainwashed or even be in the position to willingly take the rage, but man, Porter is just ridiculous.
Holy shit. And what about Zelda. A character so powerful I think that’s one of the reason Brennan played her in The Seven. Her rage is literally divine, Porter could have done something with that, made his own brand of divine rage and offered it to her and others. She was even taking personal lessons from him because her rage was too destructive for normal class.
When the hell did he come up with this plan.
I mean I know it would have been a while ago because of the whole thing with Kalina but I think my point still stands when I say, Porter, my guy, disrespectfully, you could have done so much better than Kipperlily Copperkettle.

Welp, being a rise fan would lead me to Usagi Chronicles sooner or later xD
It was aighte, but Yuichi is sooo different from his Rise Fandom counterpart
What you see is actually a part of a full picture I drew in 2023, which, I hope, explains the horrible orange blobs, cuz the evidence had to perish. I just want to upgrade it a bit before posting :P

After the plot has happened, a couple years passed and Jiang Cheng is on the way back home from a visit to a neighbouring small sect. It was a tiring week and he's waiting to get into a hot bath and do a minimal amount of paperwork before bed - when his bell starts ringing.
Just as he's flying over Yiling. Just his luck.
Normally, he'd ignore it. Burial Mounds are a place things keep happening in, it's not weird for the bell to ring - but the ringing is getting insistent. The resentful aura seems thicker than it usually is (and it's already bad usually).
Did some idiot decide to find the Cave again in the hopes of learning Demonic Cultivation? Again? Damnit, Jiang Cheng knew they should have demolished the place after the last time it happened. The fact Wei Wuxian returned from the dead and spoke openly about his opinion on the craft did nothing to stem the number of people willing to risk their souls for a shred of power.
With a heavy sigh and Zidian flaring in interest, Jiang Cheng descended towards the cursed place he could not get free of.
He was right to do so - the old Wen village was awashed with darkness and resentment, the Cave itself radiating heat and foulness, and... Light?
How Jiang Cheng wished he'd taken a retinue with him for the meeting. Should he send a flare? Would it even work on this horrible sky? The least he could do was to check what was happening before calling in reinforcements.
The Cave was indeed washed with light - golden and blue and strangely warm. As he neared the mouth of it, a breeze flew past the sect leader and it smelled surprisingly pleasant - like a scent of a forest after the rain, like a fresh moss and mountain air. Not what he was expecting in this place!
Intrigued, Jiang Cheng peeked inside just as the light blazed and - and there was no cave. For a flash, a breathe, he was looking at a mountainside, majestic and airy, clear blue sky and whispy clouds... What!
It lasted only a second, though, as soon as it appeared the image burned out and the light dimmed before - before spitting out a person!
A groan that sounded overly-loud in the following silence was deep and manly. And as the man it belonged to straightened, Jiang Cheng finally regained his wits. Who the fuck?? What the fuck???
Gods, the man was tall!
***
In another famous cave, in another world, Yue Qingyuan was just about to settle in his favourite spot for a long month of cultivation.
The happenings of the last months took a toll on him and the revelation of his old friend not remembering anything of their past was a heavy thing to accept. He needed to clear his thoughts and regain internal balance if he was going to lead his sect effectively.
When the ground disappeared from underneath him, he barely managed to grasp his sword. Blinding light flashes into his eyes and he couldn't tell up from down.
When he finally managed to find his footing and open his eyes, he was standing in a dark cave that smelled of rot and resentment, and the only source of light was a purple lightening held on the hand of a stranger that stared at Yue Qingyuan with angry confusion.

What do people eat as healthier alternatives to crisps and chocolate? Not the rubbish alternatives where they recommend you swap a chocolate bar for one grape even though they are completely different eating experiences. I'm also not talking about Instagram wellness influencer healthy. I'm not making coconut milk from scratch, just something better than a chocolate bar.
