#(assuming I remembered to tag it lmao)

[unxpctedlygreat]

My attempts at figuring out birthdays tell me:

Holst: Between May 18th and July 24th

Monica : Between February 28th and March 14th

Rodrigue: Between June 5th and August 31st, but likely July?

(I made spreadsheets with everyone's ages in Hopes through the chapters but my thinking might have gotten wrong somewhere so take it with a grain of salt)

#few3h #Rodrigue's annoying because no one has a bday in the chapter after the one where he gets his bday #so i assume July bc of the timeskip #i need a tag for my few3h ramblings #dont ask me my logic for holst and monica i did these months ago aslshhjd i forgot everything #i just remember that holst always gets his bday at the same time as balthus lmao

You know what? I'm tired of wearing the "pro-fiction" label like a Scarlet Letter, as if I'M the freak of society that needs to warn people of my existence, and not the people who relentlessly hunt down random artists for lines on paper and constantly lie about what they're really arguing about because they KNOW they're wrong. Respecting people's sexualities should be the norm. I would have thought a bunch of young queer people would fucking know that.

From now on, I'm not dignifying this "shipping discourse" with its watered down jargon. There's no "antis" or "proshippers" or whatever the fuck. If you're a BULLY who takes their hatred for the injustices of the world out on small marginalized creators, get the fuck away from me.

YOU'RE the one who's ruining fandom spaces and making innocent people feel unsafe. YOU'RE the one with a screw loose. YOU'RE the one who's a danger to kids. Go take some time to figure out why you think it's righteous and justified to tell people to kill themselves, EVER; to call entire clusters of queer people pedophiles and groomers; to echo the exact rhetoric of fundamentalist Christians and fear-mongering bigots in everything you say.

"Antishippers" are just the newest rebranding of the "Violent videogames will turn kids into mass murderers" and "Harry Potter / D&D will lead to devil worship and demon possession" crowds. You're the same. You've just somehow managed to convince yourself that you're different because you package your horrible behavior in leftist wrapping.

But you're just bullies, and I want nothing to do with you, and it's time people realized that they don't want anything to do with you either. Wake the fuck up and realize who you're really fighting for. Because it's not marginalized people, it's not abuse survivors, and it's certainly not children. Fuck off.

I'm not "pro-fiction." I'm a normal fucking person with a job, a loving family and husband, the best dog ever, and a bunch of stories to create. You can either be a fellow regular person back at me or you can eat my dust.

#I literally don't remember my OP tag lmao #but yeah I'm fucking done #I am literally going to start assuming that anyone I meet isn't one these bullies because that's the default #proship or whatever is the default #I don't care what you call yourself if you harass and belittle people #this goes for proshippers too your community isn't spotless either #but especially these anti-kink anti-art crusaders #y'all are BROKEN #anyway that's me for the rest of Tumblr days lmao #peace #starrspeaks #tagging the following solely for visibility #proship #pro ship #pro-ship #profiction #pro fiction #pro-fiction #anti harassment #shipping discourse #also yes I DO hate using the word normal but it's the word for the thing I'm talking about I'm SORRY xD

I can't believe they killed off jenny lee's boyfriend wtf

#call the midwife #i really thought that they were gonna get married and all #like i just assumed they would. can't remember if they ever mentioned his surname but i guess it wasn't worth lol #i really don't know how i avoided spoilers for this lmao this must be an iconic british tv death #also guessing i don't need to tag as spoilers bc the episode is 10 years old lol #tbh it makes sense bc i guess jessica raine wanted to leave the show and the real jenny lee did leave midwifery #but still. weirdly tho i think this is the first episode i didn't cry at??? usually im bawling by the end. i was really just in denial tbh #i thought it was gonna be declared a mistake right up until the funeral scene lmao

i need someone i can yell at about my very niche tma au ;w;

(see me playing fast and loose between tma lore and mdzs canon under the cut wheeee~)

this is part headcanon, part drabble, all-around mess. just dont think too hard about it please

the classification of each entity isn’t fully documented yet, smirke’s 14 doesn’t exist, but each major clan has a specific fear that called their founders. there are also some entities haven’t been identified yet so a lot of fears bleed into each other 

they’re still cultivators here. they’re cultivating fear.

golden cores are the physical manifestation of your connection with your god within your body. the more you feed it, the more connected you are to your patron, the more powerful you become.

each clan is a powerhouse to a specific entity but their disciples can be touched by multiple entities (and honestly, i cant make everyone a slaughter avatar) only the sect leader needs to be fully devoted to their fear god

Gusu Lan = Beholding, Qinghe Nie = Slaughter, Yunmeng Jiang = Hunt, Lanling Jin = Stranger, and Qishan Wen = Desolation

wei wuxian was once heavily touched by the hunt. his mother a famous Huntress and rogue cultivator and his father a servant and close friend to the sect of The Everchase

jiang cheng’s Hunt core is slightly weaker but its fine because they are of the same pack. they are partners, brothers in everything but blood, and will hunt down anyone who dares to hurt the other.

jiang yanli isn’t an avatar, not marked by the hunt but touched by the Hive, manifesting more on the love/belonging and family aspect rather than the filth aspect

i have more Thots about the family aspects between hive/hunt and how they are both very possessive on who they call their Persons but expresses it different ways that mirror jyl and jc but that’s for a different post

during their time in the cloud recesses they meet a quiet watcher who wwx immediately zones in on him as his new “prey”.

lan wangji is silent and knowledgeable as is expected from a disciple of the beholding, but there is a certain chill around him that other eye avatars do not have

wwx stalks the poor boy, pounces on him whenever he manages to catch him alone, and is just a general disturbance all-around.

he does not feel the Eyes that sometimes watch him when he is alone.

lan xichen does not need the beholding’s power to see the way his brother looks at the young hunter disciple. he is pleased to feel the cold surrounding the jingshi has lessened. shufu seems perplexed and torn.

wwx’s also has his eye on jin zixuan, the pompous plastic peacock that’s engaged to his shijie. he isn’t actually allowed to hunt him down so he settles on dismembering the lifeless mannequins that he uses as servants.

(playing with the timeline here) they get kicked out when a text is destroyed within the Library Pavilion even though it was just a pornography book (any kind of knowledge is still knowledge) and even though it was lwj who destroyed it (the eye had punished him severely for that).

the desolation!wen are attempting to bring The Scourged Earth into the world. they burn down the cloud recesses “in the name of ‘cleaning up the place’ so that it would be ‘reborn from the firelight.’” ( - directly from the mdzs wiki)

the xuanwu of slaughter is an ancient manifestation of, well, the slaughter and cannot be reasoned with.

(”Lan Zhan, can you See anything?” “No. My connection with The Beholding has been greatly severed.” “Oh. well.. Uh, it’s kinda foggy in here huh? Here have my outer robe, you look kinda cold.” “…Mn.”)

lotus pier burns and jiang cheng loses his core. wwx asks flesh!wen qing for help because only an avatar of the flesh (the boneturner, though that isn’t its name yet) is able to carve open another avatar long enough to take something out and place it somewhere else.

jiang cheng immediately becomes a fully-fledged avatar using wwx’s hunt-influenced core. it manifests as strong bloodlust against the wens, fear of being seen as weak prey by the other clans, (and later, hunting down wwx and other end-aligned cultivators.)

wwx gets thrown in the burial mounds. he is dead for three whole months. and then he wakes up.

his hunter core is gone but that’s fine. he is alive not because he wants to but because he has to. when he is awake, he calls upon the dead to exact his revenge. the wens are defeated and everyone is in frightened awe of the new being that he has unwillingly become. when he is asleep, black tendrils of death plague his dreams. He relives the horrible memories of his own and others’ deaths. sometimes he can feel someone watching him but cannot see them in return.

wei wuxian is alive but he is not part of jiang cheng’s pack anymore. he does not follow them out on hunts anymore, doesn’t even bother to stay within the residences. he isn’t part of their pack anymore, abandoned their patron for something else more powerful, and for what? he feels resentment brewing inside him. resentment and fear.

wwx knew not to trust the polished and waxed faces of the jins. all the wen remnants are non-avatars, barely touched by anything other than the fear the jins had instilled by themselves. they do not deserve this cruelty, to be both entertainment and livestock for the rest of the cultivation world. it is true that death comes for everyone, but wwx will not let these people die at the hands of these strangers.

the wens become touched by the End during their stay in the burial mounds. wen ning, with flute music playing in his head, wins an archery game against Death and finally wakes.

 one day a cold mist surrounds yilling when wwx takes a-yuan out on a stroll. He loses him but finds him again clinging to a man in white robes that looks like he wants to disappear. wwx feels himself smile brightly at the sight. (”lan zhan! it’s so nice to see you again! It’s been so cold out today but luckily it’s warmer now!” “Mn.” “You really blend in with the fog with those white robes of yours. it’s okay though because i’m sure i can find you wherever you disappear to!” “Mn.”)

qiongqi path becomes a massacre of plastic mannequins and not!beings. the smell of death and manufactured flesh fill the air like an offering to his unwanted patron, and black tendrils surround wwx and his assailants. It blinds him and he can’t see it, can’t control it, can’t stop it as jin zixuan is pierced through his chest and falls to the ground, dead.

the clans are outraged. they speak in fear of him, they hear of his power over life and death and that he, like the wen fugitives by his side, is trying to bring about his patron into the world. they call for an attack, a bloodbath to take him down once and for all.

and a bloodbath it is. the entire cultivation world against a one-man army. fear rings high in the air and all the Entities are well fed in the aftermath, the most satisfied: Slaughter and (paradoxical to their intent) The End.

later, much later, when the siege is over and nothing is left of his anchor other than a small child marked by death, lwj accepts the punishment lashes and then goes into cold seclusion. the jingshi is completely covered by clouds of fog. no one can See him, the elders only get a debilitating headache when they try to pry too hard. not even lxc, who has become the Eye’s most devoted avatar, can know his brother’s whereabouts. only lan yuan seems to able to navigate through the dense gloom.

the world moves on

jin guangyao’s wide smiles are not conspicuous within the plastic faces and painted lips within lanling jin. If his limbs are too long or if his smile a bit distorted or if he disappears through a bright yellow door and doesnt come back then no one makes mention of it.

No one also notices the webs above them hidden in the high ceilings of lanling jin nor the tiny spiders that skitter around the gossiping servants, spinning and weaving threads of thick silk around them.

it takes years for his brother to come out from the fog and lxc nearly weeps at the knowledge that The Lonely had not forsaken another member of his family. still, lwj has changed. there is a certain chill around him now that persists wherever he goes. though he has always been silent since childhood, his silence now is cold and unfeeling, eyes faraway as if not seeing those around him and only floating through the days. He is not completely alone though and that is enough to alleviate some of xichen’s worries. 

time abates some wounds but certainly not all. there is still an empty cold pit in lwj’s chest but it does not bleed as freely as it did 10 years before. Before, he would have readily disappeared into the fog when the elders comes to look for him, now he chooses to disappear from the cloud recesses and absconds into night hunts. he goes wherever the chaos is, seeking (but not willing to hope) that he might find something that can stir the deadness in his heart.

#rotating this au hard and fast in my mind's eye #i actually dont know the overlap between the mdzs and tma fandoms but im just assuming there isnt much ??? #i kinda got too into it at the end there i didnt know where to stop lmao im sorry im pulling all of this outta my ass dskfjhkdhfk #i still have so many Thoughts for this au and cute lil scenes between these avatar fledgelings #i promise its not all Angst its just that lonely!lwj is a very good source of inspo #is this a fix it? maybe. maybe not. #on one hand i want everyone (except jgs and zixun) to love and be happy #on the other hand lonely!lwj is the entire reason why i thought of this au in the first place #according to the wiki the chinese name for cloud recesses means 'somewhere unknown deep in the clouds' #which is Peak Lonely vibes but i didnt find that out until after i wrote this oops #beholding!gusu lan is staying tho bc i love lonelyeyes!lwj hehe #i almost wrote an entire backstory in the tags about madame lan and how wangji inherited her Loneliness dhsdfkhd #i'll write that on a different post this one is long enough #LANLING JIN IS STRANGER ALIGNED BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL CLOWNS #i was thinking of jzx being replaced by a not!them after qiongqi ambush but hmmm maybe thats for another au hmmmm many thoughts #funfact! in MAG113 decker mentions that only a Hunter can kill an avatar of the End so. do what you will with that knowledge :) #OH HEY I JUST REMEMBERED WWX TOLD LWJ TO 'GET LOST' WHEN LWJ TRIED TO SAVE HIM DURING THE FIRST SEIGE JUST BEFORE HE DIED SO :)))) #MY LONELY!LWJ HEADCANON IS GOING STRONG #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #should i tag this as tma? nah #anyways here just take this

[pantestudines]

Anyone else have beef with random historical figures for no good reason. Had to make a presentation about Augustine of Hippo once for a shitty college class but I hated the book we were learning from (see tags) so I associated the two together and now everytime I see his name I furrow my eyebrows and say "Augustine..." like he's my nemesis

#see tags: i hated the book because it wasnt actually a history it was like. a motivational book? but by an author that clearly assumed #that the reader would both 1) be christian and 2) trying to stand out and be an exceptional leader individual #i and my friends were neither of these things tbh and we drew the line at when the author started talking about 'pagans' as a single group #and like. im talking about like. the author seemed to think all pagans were fantasy druids? and was UNCITED just talking about like #'pagans had no sense of time as a progression and only thought of time as cyclical' was the main thesis. which. what??? #it didn't matter what kind of pagan either as long as it fit the authors intention. im talking greek. celtic. native american. and more! #sometimes the author didnt even specify! he just would start talking about pagans like they all were homogenous and shared all beliefs #and because i had to present on THIS GUYS conception of Augustine i kindve just associate that author with augustine now lmao #sorrrrry augustine i know it wasnt you who did this but tbh what little i know about you you probably would've agreed #BY THE WAY #a happy ending! we talked to our professor about our issues with the book and he took it off the list for upcoming years #i wish i could remember the title but oh well #it was literally called like 'expreasing individuality' or some shit #leadership major future politician CEO nothingburger ass book #the whole class was also structured around that nonsense leadership and entrepenuer and ceo grindset type shit #(i took this class cause it was required for a good scholarship i had lmao) #... now that im thinking about it #this was also the class i attended while on the afterglow of LSD. #so uh. yeah. lmao

First impressions from (halfway thu) first ep of c3!!!!

I adore ashton w all my heart. This is a surprise to literally nobody. I also super adore orym and fearne, but this was already established in exu. I was not expecting to be so charmed by FCG??? I also adore him. I am super intrigued by laudna, she's creepy in an excellent way and I dig it. Imogen. Sure is a human? Idk I feel like I haven't gotten enough from her yet so no opinion established yet. Travis's character was introduced like 5 seconds ago so no opinion yet either lol.

I'm having so much fun so far. :D

#ignore me #maddie liveblogs cr3 #also he/they ashton!! no wonder tumblr loves him lmao #he/they fcg also but. They're a robot. so. idk checks out. #also also I came in thinking fresh cut grass was going to be a later game Big Reveal but that's literally how he was introduced???? #alrighty then #I'm still super amused the robot's the cleric lmao. this will be fun. #Also surprised everyone has the same character I was expecting???? #I remember hearing about death(s) (particularly w Ashley's pc) and assumed it was a perma- #*perma-death? thanks phone for cutting off my tag early lol #I'm just. so intrigued by everything so far. having fun!! #ALSO I'm surprised imogen and laudna aren't already together bc they certainly feel established relationship level ahaha

So uh does anyone else remember a creepypasta where someone encounters missingno in pokemon x and y and it crushes their ludicolo with a fucking anvil like a cartoon or did I hallucinate that?

Anon I'm going to be frank with you. I'm not confident that's a real thing that exists. However. I think we could make it a reality. Together. Take my hand

#/j but real response: #didnt find anything under the gen 6 or MissingNo tag on pokepasta wiki. best guess is it might've been on fyeahpokemoncreepypasta #that blog tended to archive the weirder ones LMAO #alternatively on the very real possibility that youre remembering a TROLLpasta i could rummage around a couple wikis #but trollpastas tend to not have very specific names so more direction might be necessary on that one #assuming you arent pulling my leg with the funniest concept thats ever been dropped in my inbox /lhj #ask

so many thoughts abt how schewpid the jedi council is in kotor but also not sure if i should write abt any of them before i finish the game because it's entirely possible that i'm still missing some critical information,

#el plays kotor #blease blacklist that tag if u dont wanna see kotor spoiler stuff from me as i play the game #feels silly to warn abt spoilers for such an old game but. i only found out abt [redacted] a couple yrs ago #completely by accident. it didnt ruin my desire to finish the game and see how the story goes #but still. it did change the whole experience. and what if there r others out there who dont know yet. so. KOTOR SPOILERS AHEAD !!!!! #so anyway i was thinking. why would the jedi council send revan to find the star maps. when they strongly suspect that #the search for the maps was what corrupted revan and malak in the first place??? #im assuming they want their new totally-not-revan padawan to succeed and stop malak???? #and yet?? they didnt think to consider the possibility of revan falling to the dark side Again during this quest???? #love how the jedi archivist/historian says the 'those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it' thing #and im just thinking. so true bestie. you should take your own advice maybe. lol. lmao even #like yes they've brainwashed revan but what makes them so confident that amnesiac revan won't go down the same path as before #wouldn't that be more likely even. because. revan does not remember their history. #and since they don't remember their history... they have nothing to learn from... and thus... could repeat their mistakes... #ok wait i just remembered that the historian gives amnesiac revan a lecture abt what revan and malak did #so yes they do get a history lesson to keep in mind and to learn something from. #but its still so...... the council has no way of being certain their master plan will succeed... they are taking a huge gamble here... #and sure capturing revan without wiping their mind was probably not an option to the council #bc revan would have simply refused to cooperate i guess. much easier to mold an empty mind :) #wow wow wow i hate the jedi order actually. yes the sith do these things too and also their color scheme is dark and thus they r Evil #but when the jedi with their light earthy tones do it its ok. because they are servants of the light. guardians of justice or whatev. sigh #also the council repeatedly warns revan abt the dangers of the dark side n how the force is so strong in revan n they need to be careful #and that they are 'willful and headstrong'. qualities that are potentially dangerous for a jedi to have. because Emotion Bad #and still the council just goes 'the warning signs are there but we have elected to ignore them :) surely it will be fine this time :)' ??? #i think i need to stop thinking abt this its giving me psychic damage #there Must be something later down the line that makes this decision make sense. they cant be this stupif

Good news, I’ve had a sudden bout of inspiration for my Johnrik fic. It’s really just a little fic but at least this means I’ll be able to get something written and posted for the first time in like, months.
