I feel like Shen Jiu was a "robes with necklines up to the chin, five thousand layers" sort of dresser for sure for any number of choose your tragic backstory reasons (scars, social armor etc) though my headcanon is this man MUST have had wild nerve damage—on top of what childhood malnutrition will do to you, whatever went down at Qiu Manor plus all his Qi deviations have to have toasted his nervous system. Which also means toasted thermoregulation! An icicle of a man

All of this is lead up to say I do think a lot about the mass hysteria that must have resulted the first time Shen Yuan got to commission new robes for himself as SQQ. Since he didn't know why the maiden aunt aesthetic I'm sure he chose robes that showed his NECK. Possibly some collarbone. Do you think Yue Qingyuan fainted

we all love to joke about the handholding beds but it is genuinely so important to utena and anthy's relationship and the trust they build throughout the third arc and it's so heartbreaking that in the last arc (or actually from when nanami starts sleeping in the tower, though i don't really think that's the catalyst) not only do we never see that little scene of them reaching out to hold each other's hand again, we rarely ever see them sleep in it together at all.

I did this to help illustrate a point I'm making in a different post, but I feel it's relevant above and beyond that specific context.

regardless of how you feel about homestuck you do have to admit that the story concluding with almost all of the major characters literally deciding to just say fuck it and abandon the story entirely is like. an absolutely iconic narrative decision. you know what i'm not doing this shit anymore. figure it out. bye.

see if cytherea is supposed to be the villain then why did she cradle gideon’s head in her lap and say “oh good girl you poor baby you magnificent creature just keep going. you were incredible. astonishing.” and then kiss her on the forehead???? checkmate liberals.

wei wuxian scolding jiang cheng in the burial mounds about not remembering what the wen siblings did for them vs jiang cheng earlier on standing up for him in front of all the sect leaders saying "you all might not know this but the person wei wuxian saved and his sister helped us a lot during the war" and getting promptly shut down by nie mingjue (the wen clan that massacred lotus pier? is literally what he says, out loud, to everyone)

this may be shit-stirring but please elaborate on the jc preferred ship is based on the "best" aspect of his character post 👀👀👀

ahaha yes it might be, which is why I've been dawdling trying to find the right wording, but oh well

sangcheng = jiang cheng is at his best/happiest/truest self when he's a slightly goofy tsundere palling around with the lads. i see a lot of people saying that they like the idea of two broken men finding each other after canon, but i so rarely see that as actual sangcheng content-- and even then, surely the concept is it's about healing through some kind of return to their teenage friendships/selves?

xicheng = kind of oddly the same? his anger is cathartic, not damaging. he just needs a lan of his own to match wei wuxian. brother sets restored, etc.

chengqing = duty, loyalty, doomedness. people who feel the tragedy of never getting to be happy is what makes jiang cheng interesting, and therefore his most honorable traits are his best ones because they are utterly useless to him when trying to be happy.

chengyao = bitch queen jiujiu is the best jiang cheng. a circumstantial relationship that could never last, and whose significance everyone involved would deny forever. simultaneously an appreciation of jiang cheng's talent as a sect leader but also feeling like he simply is a guy who will die alone.

chengxuan = dickhead4dickhead. heir4heir. the "what if someone chose jiang cheng over his siblings for once" of sangcheng meets the "i am corseted by responsibility" of chengqing only this time the doom comes from outside.

chengxian = bitch you're never getting away from this guy

Thoughts that are mutual between cats and their people:

Yeah you're cute when you sleep but you didn't let me sleep either so I'm going to annoy you now because I'm bored. Hahah get poked, sleepy idiot.

How do you not comprehend this when I am literally staring at you. Like I understand that your brain can't understand things this nuanced but come on, how do you not get this.

I don't know if you know that what I am currently doing is an expression of affection, but that won't stop me. Knowing that I showed you that I love you is enough.

I heard a crinkly material and the sound of you chewing so I have to know what's in your mouth RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

I can't communicate with you and you can't communicate with me, so I'm just copying the tone of the sound you're making in hopes that you understand that I try.

You are doing activities beyond my comprehension, and I find this fascinating. I will never understand what the fuck you are trying to achieve here, but I am intrigued nonetheless.

Hey are you ok, you haven't done your weird thing in a while. Yeah I don't get why you do that but I know you do that when you're ok.

no but do you understand like Harrow grew up treating Gideon like shit to soothe her own damaged soul and Gideon grew up thinking there was no other option for her but to be a weapon, just another way to be used, and Gideon fell in love with it. she fell in love with being a weapon and she fell in love with Harrow and wanted to be HER weapon. she was treated like shit her whole life and was radicalized to believe that was all she deserved. and Harrow realized she loved Gideon and that she COULDN'T keep treating her like that, she wanted to stop she wanted to handle Gideon with kindness and and Gideon does not understand that as love like do you understand. im biting
