If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

#chocolate milk #with cheese bread if there's any #or buttered toast or bread if there isn't

Thanks to @cafeleningrad for tagging me! I haven't done one of those (or been much on tumblr at all) in a while, but I always like them!

3 ships you like: I'm currently very into Moshang (The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System), a little bit less so into Nieyao (MDZS), and I'm always a Throbb bitch.

First ship ever: I've always loved shipping even before I knew what it was, but the first I remember having intense feelings of 'oh, i want to smash them together forever' was with Sakura and Syaoran from Sakura Card Captor.

Last song you heard: This The Wind Blows cover.

Favourite childhood book: I don't think I had a favorite one, I hardly reread things, but I remember that The Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley made an impression on me. Not a kid book, but I read it while I was a kid.

Currently reading: Putting myself through Incidente em Antares (An Incident at Antares, in a poor translation by me), by Érico Veríssimo. I'm about halfway done (read 130 pages or so) and I'm annoyed at how much I don't like it so far while it should be perfectly to my tastes on paper. This has been a trend lately. I don't like that author in general, but it was the closest fiction novel at hand and I wanted a physical book.

Currently watching: Nothing in particular. I want to watch The Terror just from how much I've seen it on my dash. And HotD again before season 2 starts.

Currently consuming: As in, food? Digital "content?. Neither, at the moment.

Currently craving: Energy :'(

I'm tagging @omgellendean, @salty-wench, @evax3, @st-clements-steps and whoever else wants to!

Also, I've been sick as a dog this week and so everything annoys me, but nothing has made me angrier than people misinterpreting "Bichos Escrotos" to be about politicians on youtube comments. Like, What??? The lyrics are not that hard to understand? The "disgusting" animals are talked about in a positive light? Also, comparing politicians you don't like to vermin is not the gotcha people seem to think it is :)))

I went so far as to look up what the lyrics was about according to the writers, something I usually can't give a shit about because I can read, and I was correct (it was about criticizing beauty standards)

Anyway, listen to it, it's great.

Murder, tax fraud

I've done a fanfic poll a while ago, and I'm proud to say I've written words about it ever since! Less than 1k, but still, I'm pretty happy with myself, considering the ickness I've been feeling about my writing :D Here's what I got so far:

The Jianghu is located on a three-store building, the front a refined affair of muted colors and understated refinement. The reception area is more four generation law firm than gym. There is not a whiff of sweat in the air or grease stains anywhere. Even with coming here for a year already, Su Minshan is still shocked at… well, everything about it. These days, he makes an effort to hide his awe. He knows better than to show any appreciation for what others take for granted.

Old money does things differently. He has his own gym equipment at home – weights, mats, treadmill, an ergonomic bike when he feels like taking in some fresh air – but as with everything else, coming here is not about exercising. It’s about seeing and being seen. Networking. Someone vaguely remembering your face when you cross paths on an actual business setting, and that faint recognition landing you an actual advantage. Things that don’t come naturally to Su Minshan, which makes every small step forwards all that more crucial.

A part of him still scoffs at such a thing as an exclusive gym. He would have thought the price would be the only real barrier, an invisible but almost insurmountable one, but the elite can’t have any contact with the riff-raff, not for anything as mundane as cardio or weight training. It took bribing and favors to get an invite here. When it finally arrived, it came in a golden-trimmed scroll, the password written in perfect calligraphy. So expensive Su Minshan almost felt unworthy of touching it.

He knows he is worthy of it all. He has actually worked for all he has, earned his good fortune and success. He deserves it much more than the plethora of heirs and trophy wives here, it’s an objective fact. And yet, he always feels out of place among these people who should be his peers, their silence judgment or indifference weighting on him more than the barbell he’s lifting dutifully.

The feeling increases tenfold the day Lan Wangji walks through the door.

He turns heads as he passes, as it’s to be expected. His face is perfect, even more so than in his teen years, for not even that peerless beauty had escaped a few pimples. He’s filled out too, adolescent lankness replaced by bulging muscle. If the world was fair, Minshan would say Lan Wangji had been through at least a few lipo to attain such a completely sculpted shape. As it is, he can believe he is all natural.

Of course he doesn’t notice Su Minshan. Unlike the nightmare hall monitor, virtuoso musician, star athlete that helped parents shatter the confidence of all Chinese-American kids in school, Su Minshan had been a nobody. He studied hard, got good grades, and tried his best at extracurriculars, but nothing that could grab the attention, much less amount to something like a proper rival, of Lan Wangji.

Still, something in him burns seeing his old one-sided nemesis walk by, long shiny hair flowing behind him like he carries his own portable, invisible wind-machine for a shampoo ad effect everywhere. It would be less humiliating if he had an actual wind-machine on him. Then Minshan’s own hair, plastered to his nape, wouldn’t be so offensive.

Before he can talk himself out of it, he positions himself next to Lan Wangji and watches, arms crossed, as he goes through a series on the bench press. Three repetitions of twenty, three plates. No spotter.

He doesn’t wait for Lan Wangji to wipe away the sweat or put away the weights. He barely waits for Lan Wangji to vacate the bench. As soon as the man is up, Su Minshan takes his place.

He can bench three plates just fine, though usually with less repetitions. It doesn’t matter now. He copies Lan Wangji’s series, arms straining under the unfamiliar push on top of having done his own training already, and only stops when has finished the whole thing.

There’s no helping the self-satisfied smirk on his face when he’s done. Take that, Lan Wangji! You’re not the only strong guy here!

The smirk grows when he sees that Lan Wangji has been watching him, as shamelessly as Su Minshan had done.

With a nod, Lan Wangji goes to the next exercise – the abductor. Of course perfect Lan Wangji doesn’t skip leg day. Then, he actually looks at Su Minshan, makes sure he’s watching, and starts his series.

It’s uncomfortable, this time, to watch Lan Wangji open and close his legs. It’s impossible to not notice the bulge in his groin, perfectly tucked in and yet so big that it cannot be hidden; the movements just draw the eye there! And of course Lan Wangji is not only bigger than Su Minshan, but bigger than most porn stars. That tracks with his life.

Still, Su Minshan watches, flustered and angry about it, until Lan Wangji is done with his series. Then he does the same thing as before: jumps on the machine as soon as it’s vacated, repeat the exercise precisely like Lan Wangji did.

#su minshan #su she #lan wangji #my writing #mdzs fanfic #despite what it might look like lwj has a small part of this fic #but he will find happiness in the background #also this is completely unedited and unbetaed #so if you decide to be mean about it fuck you

stats aren't important bla bla bla yes but does anyone else like pitting their fics against each other like they're in an incredibly slow horse race?

#yes #and it doesn't surprise me that my rule 63 modern throbb #is losing at everything #but still #i cheer on it like a lame racing horse that will always be a winner #in my heart

alyssa ‘valyrian arya’ targaryen to baelon’s tradwife pipeline was insane. what did they do to her

#i blame the porridge #she didn't eat it and was a tomboy #later on her plans were to be a baby machine #what happened in the middle? #porridge eating #why mention it there if it's not to blame? #watch me note down everything arya is going to eat in winds

Help me decide what lost wip i should work on

My computer died on me recently, and my dumb ass had no backups for any of my fun-writing. I've lost about 3 years worth of work and though I want to start over, I can't decide what I should focus on first. So in honor of this stupidity + indecisiveness combo, vote on this!

#bet you guys were not expecting that lol #thank you for voting lovelies! #and for my two lovely gals for indulging me and rebloging #you're both the MVPs! #on another note #ridiculous that i can't see who voted for what in this thing! #or who voted at all #is this really a democracy? on tumblr? #preposterous

There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"

#interesting #i don't know how i'd fix the second and third issues but #actor leaving? replace his ass #the character is going to have a sudden accident and need like #full-face plastic surgery or something #I'D DO THAT AS MANY TIMES AS I NEEDED #i decide when i'm done with that mf not the actor!

[rainhalydia]

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

#tags mostly #and summaries #sometimes i sort by kudo but only if i have alread selected a tag #and mean to read a lot of fics about the tag in sequence

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

#my favorite crochet youtuber has long videos #but he does go straight to the point #it's just that he shows the whole process #which is why i like his stuff so much! #i'm a beginner and i need my hand held at all times!

[rainhalydia]

LOL. LMAO, even

#screaming crying throwing up to write 2 sentences #2 mediocre sentences #but yes they're not somehow palpatine returned #and that's already something!

[rainhalydia]

it really pisses me off how easy it is to get sad and then how long and hard it is to get happy again like what the fuck man thats not fair

#made myself incandescently angry in the night #about something that happened almost 10 years ago #a situation when i asserted myself and got my way #despite being angry at the time #made up little scenarios on my head about how things #could have been much worse #and was too mad to sleep until well into the early morning

I know there’s like four of you that followed me for ASOIAF/throbb content, and so I ask you:

How do we feel about some modern AU, gender-flipped throbb?

It came to me in a dream and will not let me go. So. Any takers?

#yes please!!! #i just got here but i'd love it so much!
