As someone also in the ruanliu pits, I would like to note that if Ruan mei were to succeed, with her potential path she would mostly likely absorb the path of abundance due to the overlap in concept. This would ostensibly fulfill jingliu's–who's already shown her willingness to work with other factions/aeons to bring down yaoshi–goal, and Ruan mei gains her very own, very potent, attack dog (with whom she, on a meta level, actually go pretty well together). There very well may be a path for them to be working together despite seemingly conflicting ideals. The unfortunate thing with Ruan mei potentially succeeding is that it would likely lead to the erasure of her identity/self after ascension. Though if there were to be anyone who could circumvent that little caveat, it would be her. Just interesting things to think about.

good thoughts.... chewing

because i've been thinking about this a lot. my thoughts on it is that ruan mei might view both the abundance and propagation paths as having been, if not failures, narrow-minded in their applications of the concept. she herself speaks of death being an inevitable aspect to life's balance, a necessity almost.

notably, there's no aeon of death, which would be almost a needed counterbalance if she wished to become something akin to an aeon of life/cultivation -- to grow the perfect orchid, pruning is a must.

aeons are gods of concepts, in a way. propagation arose from the desire of one lonely individual, the last of their species, not wanting to be alone anymore. propagation was never truly about life, yet it ties in a lot to abundance and ruan mei. i do in part suspect we'll see that abundance was an off-shoot or evolution spurred from the propagation, as the abundance didn't exist during the swarm disaster era. so, by extension, ruan mei's desire to understand and take apart these concepts reflects her desire to embody a concept of her own. but she's so meticulous about it, intentional. she doesn't want to replicate "prior mistakes".

in the fic i've written i toy with the idea of jingliu becoming ruan mei's attack dog, her sword, and her counter-balance. she prunes what ruan mei cultivates. after 1.4's story quest i floated the idea jingliu might, due to her singular purpose and hellbent ideals, accidentally end up becoming an aeon even as she loathes the way their paths determine other's destinies. and that would be such an interesting au idea to explore too; aeon of life and death interlocked in a constant dance, cultivating and pruning, seeding and withering, blooming and rotting.

there's already a quiet undercurrent of balance, of yin and yang to their current paths, hence my interest in them. one hellbent on killing an aeon, the other on becoming one.

i absolutely cannot get over jingliu being from the xianzhou cangcheng, famous for its plum blossoms now entirely lost after its destruction, and the trauma that represents in her life; while ruan mei is all about plum blossoms. it's such a small but precise detail that you can interlace them with.

The Holdovers was a little movie that we made in Boston, about three people that came together to form a little family.

Young Mira: What are you doing?

Young Cana, hanging upside down on the monkey bars: Trying to kiss you.

Young Mira: You're gonna fall.

Young Cana: Shut up and kiss me, I'm getting light-headed.

[it-flobee]

Cana: Relationships should be 50/50. Mirajane cooks us dinner while I sit on the kitchen counter looking pretty.

[it-flobee]

Cana: We all have our demons.

Cana, grabbing Mirajane: This one's mine.

Lucy: How did literally the whole guild find out you're gay? I thought you were keeping it a secret

Cana: Mira asked me if there was a guy I like and apparently I "made a face"

Cana: I'm always making a face so I don't really understand what she meant

[it-flobee]

Cana, to Mira: Please, picking locks is my specialty.

Cana: *throws a brick through the window*

Cana: Okay, let’s go.

Canajane Headcanons:

Cana is always the first in the guild and the last to leave just so she can have more time around Mira

Mira gave Cana the bangles she wears everyday. It was simply a hand-me down but Cana absolutely adores them

Cana realized she was bi because of angry teenage Mira

Mira calls her soft pet names like love, dear, and honey while Cana calls her things like babe, hot stuff, and sexy

They both are pretty dominant. Resulting in ‘fights’ for power

Mira kept asking Cana out on dates but Cana didn't know they were dates until Mira hit her with the "what are we"

Mira tries to be a sappy romantic but Cana isn't having it. She threatened that if Mira even thought about writing her a love song, Cana would run

Knowing that Mira likes romantic stuff, Cana does go out of her way to buy her flowers and do little things like that. It doesn't come naturally to her, but Mira absolutely adores it

Cana is such a simp. Mira hits her with the puppy dog eyes and it's all over

[it-flobee]

Mira: Cana, sweetie, why are you crying?

Cana, drunkenly sobbing: I can't find Mira!

Mira: *takes off sunglasses*

Cana, smiling through tears: Mira I found you!

[it-flobee]

Mirajane: I’m doing what I can to jog your memory.

Cana: It’s jogging, I guess. Its tiddies are jiggling a little.

Mirajane: Nice.

[it-flobee]

Cana: Hey, Mira! I need help!

Mirajane: I've been telling you that for years.
