This might be unpopular but I’m not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it’s out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he’s going to call a plant by its name. If you don’t know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it’s a plant of some sort.

I don’t like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That’s not a bad thing.

You don’t have to understand every word to get the gist of what’s happening. I’m not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it’s a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.

#i expect to find words i've never seen before when reading a book #or that i'm not sure of the meaning #or that are too old-fashioned #why on earth would people complain about that

Most annoying NMJ or JC take is when someone that dislikes them is like "oh you're a fan of him? *scoff* Well obviously you've only seen cql, where he was super watered down. In the novel he's a dislikable asshole and that's the objectively superior canon I'm working from instead of your woobified fanfic." Meanwhile your main canon is novel canon and you genuinely find novel Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue complex sympathetic characters.

#i'm not done actually #of course he's gonna appear less likeable if you assume everything he does is a bad thing #and you don't have wang yizhou's pretty face telling you you're wrong #i've seen people complaining that he eavesdropped on his friends like that isn't funny as hell #and that the recommendation letter was him not respecting my's feelings when it was a kind thing to do #coming from someone who still believes people will do the right thing like he's been trying to do his entire life #people really think nmj expelling a wounded my from qhn after he took a sword for him is a watered down version of book nmj #who was tricked after telling my to confess his crime? when he was out there looking for him out of concern my wasnt being treated fairly?? #just because cql nmj was crying the whole time?

#I was thinking about this today #like if people think cql nmj is the likeable version of him i'm sorry to inform that's a skill issue on their part

The fact that he’s not actually struggling but just learned a habit from watching his human buddy snap bamboo is so precious.

medieval peasant: I see... so, it is the case that there are many paintings within this magical book? it is not so strange after all.

me, trying to show him tumblr to scare him: I was kind of hoping this would be a bit more confusing to you

peasant, suddenly pointing at the screen: hark! cynocephali

#yeah i mean on one hand the technology would look like magic #on the other we use this technology like any human would because we're the same creatures with the same needs #so there has to be some familiarity there even if they can't comprehend how exactly those things work #and lets be honest most of us don't know either we're just used to using it

Yo I feel like the idea that the only historical women who counted are the ones who defied society and took on the traditionally male roles is… not actually that feminist. It IS important that women throughout history were warriors and strategists and politicians and businesswomen, but so many of us were “lowly” weavers and bakers and wives and mothers and I feel like dismissing THOSE roles dismisses so many of our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers and the shit they did to support our civilization with so little thanks or recognition.

growing old together...

#nie mingjue #nie huaisang #niecest #i always think about this little scenario #mingjue regaining his consciousness and getting to watch huaisang growing old; older than he and their father ever got to be #maybe older than every nie sect leader before them #and being happy to be able to witness that #and to be by his side until the very end #it doesn't need to be niecest; it totally works with their canon dynamics #but i did have the little 'couple growing old together' image in my head when i painted this so it is niecest #even if mingjue won't change #which is also quite romantic i think #old man huaisang should stop and stare at his permanently 30yo brother and go feel all sorts of things
