I still think the best kind of character ever made is the notorious 'bad' boy who is in actuality just socially awkward and has bad fashion sense.

#omg he's so edgy and broody and bAd #the person in question internally: when is the perfect time for me to sneeze without attracting attention? fuck it i'll just not #keith kogane #nico di angelo #todoroki shoto #liu qingge #or: omg they always wears black and chains and skulls thats so bAd of them #them internally: does this look fine? is this socially acceptable? would i die if it isnt? bro fuck it. cant go wrong with black #not the kind of character im referring to but #spop scorpia #scorpia #works for her #zuko #atla zuko #will graham #regulus black #chu wanning #but with white clothes #neil josten #but he's not socially awkward he's just socially averse #scorpius malfoy

Aaron, banging on the door: Josten, open up!

Neil: Well it all started when I was a child

Aaron: I meant the fucking door—

and now there is a whole book featuring them. amazing what collective begging can do. (this book is going to tear me apart piece by piece.)

It’s crazy how the aftg fandom is still so active when the author literally disappeared and the last book is from 2014

#fun fact i Returned to tumblr after one whole year (or more) yesterday and saw that TSC was in the works but i had no idea it would come out #TODAY #so to the folks who have been waiting for months. years. DECADES. i just want to say hihi jelly? #my way of avoiding spoilers is by avoiding the posts with spoiler warnings but consuming all the book excerpts and quotes without #jerejean #i love what im seeing so far #the sunshine court #tsc #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #jeremy knox #jean moreau #nothing i love more than seeing a feral character being written in an outsider's pov #i imagine neil being 2x more feral than in tfc and thats saying a lot isnt it #andreil #i will search for crumbs of their existence #but from what ive seen it's unbelievably impressive how the depictions in fanfictions of jerejean arent too far off #nora sakavic #the woman that you are #self publishing a book featuring a fictional stickball sport and deranged main characters #how did you know that's what the youngsters are into nowadays huh #sneaky

and the best couple dynamic goes to—

pretentious 'would insult u without u knowing until 6 years later when ur on ur bed at 3 am' smooth talker X has an entire mental encyclopedia of the filthiest profanities 'i kissed UR fucking mother with this dirty dirty mouth and WHAT ABT IT JENSEN' swear user

one of my favorite xie lian moments is undoubtedly when he was manipulated by the brocade immortal to attack hua cheng and he was like "oh NO i used a SEVENTH of my POWER to PUNCH san lang!!! any regular mortal would DIE from that is he going to be OKAY!!!?"

#mxtx took every possible opportunity to remind us that xl is strong as fck and yet SOME PARTS OF THE FANDOM STILL REDUCED HIM TO #uwu🥺🥺🥺🥺poor bby little meowmeow san lang oh san lang im smollll #i kid u not #he's so funny #xie lian #hua lian #hua cheng #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #hob #san lang #general hua #flower crowned martial god #the crown prince who pleased the gods #the sole god to ascend three times #fangxin guoshi #scrap collecting immortal #the strongest martial god in heaven #the strongest god period

[pandoramarsh]

there is no betrayal bigger than your favorite author suddenly being orphan_account out of the fucking blue.

#What Happened To @Silvercistern #i. i cant even. it hurts enough even when they give u a heads up but when there isn't even one??? #but on a more serious note i hope they're okay #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #hualian #quanyin #have a good one wherever u are #the best quanyin writer there is #NAHHH AINT NO FUCKING WAY YALL I JUST WENT ON TWITTER TO CHECK OUT THEIR ACCOUNT AND APPARENTLY THEYRE CANCELLED NOW???

Will not ever be getting over Quan Yizhen.

He is the puppy-doggiest boy of all time. He is the sweetest baby in the world. He is the cutest bean ever born.

My favourite scenes are ones where he tries to thank Xie Lian!! Because all Xie Lian did was throw chopsticks to make the curtain fall!! He barely did anything!! Most of the other gods don’t even realize he’s the one who did it!!

But Quan Yizhen not only noticed it was him, he also felt grateful!!! He tried to stuff his donation box with gold bars!!! And, my absolute favourite example, when he woke up to find Xie Lian and Pei Ming in his room (while Pei Ming is trying to catch Shi Qingxuan), Pei Ming asks him to help out and Yizhen just. Throws his bed. At Pei Ming. Because even though he has not a single clue what the fuck is going on, he wants to thank Xie Lian.

I could ramble about my love for Yizhen for all of eternity. I love him so so so so so much.

The scene where Yin Yu “knocks him out” with the shovel, only for Quan Yizhen to wait to be dug out and then reveal that he wasn’t actually knocked unconscious??? (Beautiful, amazing, 10/10, implies that even after everything, Yin Yu still can’t bring himself to hurt Yizhen, and I just abdjdjfbdjdn) Everyone is so completely shocked, because “Qi Ying just tricked us????” Quan Yizhen is so straightfoward and blunt that him pulled a trick like this is something literally nobody saw coming, he’s a strategic genius-

Xie Lian says that Yizhen probably recognized Yin Yu because he remembers his habits, like pacing when he’s uncertain. Which is just- Quan Yizhen hasn’t seen Yin Yu in centuries, but still remembers his ticks…

I love how literally everyone thinks that Yizhen is mad at Yin Yu, but all Quan Yizhen wants is to hug him and get head pats and he doesn’t blame Yin Yu for snapping at him and he still gets angry when people badmouth Yin Yu and and and and-

Yizhen just loves hims Shixiong. He joined the sect because Yin Yu was there. He became a god because Yin Yu suggested he should. He never stops caring for Yin Yu, even when Yin Yu tries to murder him. I love them so much.

But also, I love Quan Yizhen with Xie Lian. Not as a romantic ship, I just like that they’re two peas in a pod. They both see amazing martial ability and automatically praise it. They are the most neurodivergent characters. They both think Yin Yu is pretty cool. They are buddies, and it’s like two puppies play wrestling, I can’t get over it.

#no but like actually. quanyin is so underrated #i admit im one of those ppl that forgot abt them nearing the end of the novel #the fics have opened my eyes #silvercistern and BastetCG on ao3 have the best ones #ha. try to make the correlation w my last post #yizhen and xie lian friendship is so Real #like they became friends through a series of unfortunate events and bc of mutual good intentions #i love them. #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #quanyin #xie lian #no but yizhen throwing his bed at pei ming #is the funniest part of the book #love yizhen he’s perfect i wanna pinch his cheeks and patpat his head #you are so right op

[pandoramarsh]

when one of your favorite fic writers started hyperfixating on something new, and you know goddamn well they only hyperfixate on one thing at a time, so you know goddamn well they're going to stop writing fics for that one ship you are in love with

#you just gotta accept it #it is what it is #but BRO the ship is so UNDERRATED and barely WRITTEN ABOUT much less WRITTEN WELL what the FUCK am i supposed to do now #anyway. let me catch yall up w some of my new ships #quanyin #hualian #bingyuan #bingqiu #wangxian #moshang #joongdok #its even more effing worse if its a flash ship ffs #scorpius x james sirius #fuck THAT ONE FIC for making me get into not only the hp fandom but also this random ass ship???? #andreil #i keep coming back to them #inevitably #yu yang x li huan #here u are #very adorable and realistically written #i adore

[pandoramarsh]

no because it's brushed under the rug no one talks abt it

i kind of don’t like Taylor describing what happened to her in 2016 as ‘getting cancelled’ because it definitely wasn’t. it was a whole different beast. getting ‘cancelled’ is people finding out something about you, talking about it for a week, causing you to take like 3 weeks off and then everyone just moves on. she had a grown man who was weirdly obsessed with her since she was 19 publicly discredit her art and sexualize her to the entire world, put her in a revenge-porn style music video with a wax figure depicting her naked body without her consent, had a crowd of tens of thousands of people say ‘fuck taylor swift’, had a mural painted of her death, and went into hiding for almost two years. ‘getting cancelled’ involves a few tweets and an apology note…. not years and years of therapy.

yall one of the greatest fanfiction writers of all time is retiring...this is giving 1D breaking up vibes...

hello! i tried looking for your pjo fics today but they went private for some reason? just wanted to know if it was intentional or not :))

lmao you guys are so fast. I got a couple of these in my inbox anddddd owe you an explanation.

Firstly, don’t panic! Everything is okay! I’m alive, healthy, etc. - all that jazz.

I’m going to try and keep this as short/succinct as possible (for what will soon be apparent reasons) but.... there was a situation that happened last week. I’m not going to go into anything other than it was a little terrifying and after some serious thinking... I have to retire.

I PROMISE I’m not taking this lightly. It just occurred to me via this situation how much information I’ve given over the years. And I don’t think I fully appreciated how much my stuff circulates. Even if it isn’t directly tied to my account, my stuff gets reposted everywhere, which is totally fine content-wise, but I’ve come to the realization that I just can’t have my online persona connected to real-life me. That was never on my radar as something I’d have to worry about butttttttttt life be wild, I guess. Again. No panic. I’m good and it’s all taken care of. It was all just a bit of a reality check.

So... my account is gone. Website gone. My discord account is adios (the server is unrelated to me, so that should still be there). My tumblr will probably be gone soon too. Ngl. I legit cried as I went through my account lol (that is a very pained lol)

I know some of you guys follow my sister too - I haven’t talked to her about this. She knows minimally what happened I think overall she’s pretty far removed from everything so i think her stuff is gonna stay. However, what she ends up doing is up to her.

This is kinda wild bc I started this in 2018 so it’s been like... 4 years with you guys. And I don’t want anyone here to feel like they upset me or anything! This was such a wild situation that I fully believe could only happen in my life. It was nothing on any of you. Everyone in every fandom I wrote for was literally so nice and supportive and it made me so excited to interact with all of you. The hardest part of this is definitely that I’ll miss talking with everyone.

I’ll tell you what tho... one last bit of shennigans. If - in many, many years - I do happen to publish an actual book (or decide to write wattpad for fun lol). I’ll make sure there is a hint somewhere. I’m thinking I’ll probably put it in the dedication... which. Idk. What do you guys want to be called in the dedication? omg I could dedicate it to Castor. That’s how you’ll know it’s me lmao. That being said - feel free to drop suggestions.

I’m not gone yet! Feel free to interact with my blog for a little bit longer but we’re on that unus annus type shit now. <3 <3 <3 <3

#except im not a 1d fan #but the vibes are there #this is a big deal #bye i hv to see if i can still salvage some of her god tier fics

[pandoramarsh]

am i mentally prepared to see Nico's transition from being the happy-go-lucky kid who collects Mythomagic cards and acts like what a kid should be become the closed-off reserved Ghost King due to the grief of losing the person he loved most and the trauma caused by the mistakes he made out of anger and denial which led to him being forced to grow up early and bearing more than he should and having to wrench control over the destructive power he never asked for which consequently strained his relationship with everyone around him making him think he's lost their trust and faith and familiarity and maybe he never even deserved it in the first place? i am so not BUT I'M FUCKING HYPED FOR IT YOU GUYS.

#can u imagine the kid being chosen to play him #but that's a matter for another time #percy jackson adaptation #percy jackson #pjo #disney pjo #pjo live action #pjo series #pjo disney+ #nico di angelo #disney percy jackson #rick riordan #riordanverse #his arrival would mean annabeth getting thrown off the fucking cliff and suffering for a whole season tho :/ can u imagine: #n: if she's the daughter of athena whyd she get herself thrown off the cliff #walker percy: *left eye twitching* #heroes of olympus #hoo #toa #the emofication of one Italian child homosexual who was born in the 80s

[pandoramarsh]

nah bc when i overhear a kid in public fangirling over Disney Percy i will have to Physically Restrain myself from marching the them and shoving the books at their face and sob out all the shitshow which is the last Percy Jackson failed adaptation.

can’t believe there’s going to be a new generation of pjo fans who automatically picture walker scobell when they think of percy jackson and not a hodgepodge of viria and burdge’s fanart. does that make me old

[pandoramarsh]

can't wait to see the blonde one speak in horse noises while the other two just 📷😃👍

new adaptation is making me so excited :)

[pandoramarsh]

bye i'm shitting myself can someone make a fanfic of this.
