I am, in general, a SUCKER for the concept that the Story ended poorly the first time around but then someone in the younger generation comes back to the Story, years later, and REOPENS the narrative to bring the people who didn't make it out the first time HOME.

#this is the twelve ravens/twelve brothers story again and it is also gravity falls #also that gandalf quote about how he will not have fully failed in his task if ANYTHING survives the coming darkness and may bloom again #it's a Vibe is what it is #oh! also obviously it's star wars. luke skywalker poster child of Dragging His Family Out Of The Tragedy's Grasp #and a lot of kids's stories. facing the Dark Family Secrets and FIXING them is a fantastic arc when executed nicely

my sociology of gender class has tasked us to write an essay about our "gender ideology" (how we believe gender does work and how we believe gender should work) which is a hell of a task. probably one i shouldve started . not a couple of hours before its due

#but its a very hard task! my ideology is shaped by the fact that ive been studying gender informally since i was twelve #and also i have been a closeted trans person for around the same time. i dont know how to articulate it into /words!/ #i guess im generally of the opinion that gender functions as a structure of exclusion but ive never been quite able to figure out #whether i love gender abolishment or if there need to be 1073943075304238 new genders #not to mention i need to reference five sources to back my ideas up.. they dont have to be super formal thankfully but its another Thing.

"feel free to send in asks about them any time" i hope you understand the floodgates you've opened heheh.

honestly, i'm just very curious. what do you think the major character traits of the latter gen young disciples are, jiang and otherwise? your characterisation is one of the best i've seen in the fandom so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i'm interested in your thoughts, dear author.

I can't really speak for canon because most of my work ends up drawing from the TMAAF universe (even for other verses, like the Yiling Wei and Emperor WWX AUs), but I'd say the "shared" character traits of the various disciples are largely a result of a) the culture of the clan they were raised in and b) the specific cultivation demands of the region.

(Note: this is going to be a 4-part series, because I just had too much to say about each sect).

As I've said before, Yunmeng Jiang is guaranteed a constant stream of hauntings because it's always dealing with the fierce ghosts and corpses of drowning victims, most commonly in the winter after the yearly monsoons; and due to this, Jiang disciples are raised with the expectation that one day, they'll strike out on their own, settle down in a currently underprotected village, and become "rogue" cultivators whose living expenses are paid by the sect. Because of this, they're not as distanced from civilian life as most other cultivators are.

The Jiang disciples receive a strictly practical education after they learn the basics of literature, math, and history, which means practice hunts, daily archery sessions, and classes in household management (especially accounting + cooking/sewing) to prepare the adult disciples to live by themselves.

As a result, the Jiang sect is more gender-neutral than most. Since the boys have to be ready to run their own homes by the age of 21, they share all of their classes and duties with the girls and help their seniors raise the younger disciples. (Insert cute montage of Jiang Fengmian teaching Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng how to take care of baby disciples and mend their own torn clothes here.) Hence, the disciples are also huge romantics - there's no huge mystery about the opposite gender, for either boys or girls, so they tend to find spouses very easily and settle into extremely happy marriages.

The Jiang sect also has a somewhat paradoxical custom of spoiling children rotten but not sheltering them, which I hinted at in TMAAF when Hongshuai + the Yunmeng brothers openly discuss serious sect business in front of Xiao-Yu and the Yu babies. Jiang disciples know a lot more about how to deal with the outside world than, say, Lan disciples; but they never really lose the habit of being Baby™️ with any of their teachers/older disciple siblings.

#asks #jiang disciples are just very high-spirited #handy at household tasks and out-of-the-box thinkers #one of the tmaaf readers commented once that they're like a family of otters #good predators and adapted for their environment #but also very cute + strong social bonds #reference #twelve moons and a fortnight

frankly i would be so powerful in terms of UTAU things had the universe not cursed me with Unable To Maintain Focus On Long Repetitive Tasks With No Immediate Payoff™ syndrome

#which is to say i'm biding my time until i can wear headphones again by sorting through utau samples #(because i can do that over speakers or with my cruddy little earbuds) #and realizing i now have #(counts on fingers) #seven to ten different utaus in development #with a combined total of #(counts on fingers but harder this time) #thirty three banks between them #though admittedly three of those characters and twelve of those banks are pre-2014 #but the remainder are Very Much New #to say i have been a little busy is #an understatement #AND YET . . . . . #also to be fair part of that huge bank number is the fact that three of these little guys are multipitch/powerscale libraries #but even still #i've done a lot of recording 👁 👁 #the ISSUE though #is that now that all of them are recorded #i now face the arduous task of cleaning all those samples and .oto'ing them #WHICH IS . . . . ADMITTEDLY EASIER THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN . . . . #now that i've been using oremo and imitation oremo meat via audacity #and have access to setparam and whatnot #BUT . . . . #i still have to #for example #look for and clear out all the vocal transformer errors from roughly 2000 VCV samples before i can move on to .oto'ing #or delete the unused recording takes from at least 5 more audacity projects before i have all the working samples for the latest library #and that doesn't even cover the issue of #'i started oto'ing this library in 2014 but i did it willy nilly and now i've forgotten the method i used and it's intimidating to pick up' #i could probably still do it

If y'all saw my Infinite's inspo board and still want to fuckin' ship with her, I guess you can--

#my kingdom ;; ooc #All Will Rot ;; Infinite #like. i can't dissuade you at that point the inspo board should really tell you that's not healthy. #i mean. i guess if you want to go through the twelve herculean tasks of redemption arc it could be but like #gestures. i have so many other muses you could ship with. pick them.

Alt verse title: The one who stands upon the world's end; lancer verse

The King of Storms.

The Lion King.

He who wields not the holy sword of the planet but instead the sacred lance, Rhongomyniad.

A version of the King of Knights that came about due to extraordinary circumstances.

In this life, this Arthur did not draw Caliburn at the time he did in the normal timelines of history. Instead becoming a simple wandering knight who one day was called back to the field where the Sword of Selection awaited by Merlin. No longer a naïve youth who would have innocently drawn the sword without a thought of what awaited him, this Arthur instead drew Caliburn from the stone with a clear goal in mind for how he would be king. Due to experience and a lifelong confidant in Bedivere, he was quickly able to prove his worth to the other kings, including King Lot of Orkney without need of a war.

Still, some things are set in stone...if not always in the right order.

When Caliburn broke instead of immediately setting out towards the pure waters of the faerie-blessed lake, Arthur instead was guided towards the sacred lance, Rhongomyniad. Thus, despite eventually obtaining Excalibur as well, the lance was his primary weapon.

Perhaps it is because of this that there was no Battle of Camlann.

Instead, the final fated battle took place against the forces of the mad emperor of Rome, Lucius Tiberius, who (in this timeline) had grown to a near unstoppable force. In the end due to Rhongomyniad and Excalibur was Arthur able to triumph, but his wounds were fatal. And Bedivere carried the King to that pure forest on the borders of the lake...

#an endless tale; headcanon #twelve seals unleashed; arthur pendragon #the one who stands upon the world's end; lancer verse #basically this timeline came about because merlin is a bum and forgot about the task of making arthur king until arthur was like 25 already

Kinda got an urge to write an article comparing The Labours of Hercules by Agatha Christie and Twelve Tasks of Asterix in how they reference the mythical twelve labours.

idk what it is about mcyt that gets me to write a lot but uh. the perpetuity crossovers have all been on one document so it (i’m counting them as one thing because of the same document thing and because they’re just different parts of one story) is now the longest fic i’ve ever written and it is only getting longer.

#space rambles #it looooks like part 1 and part 3 are gonna be about the same lengths #(2.5-3k words) #with part 2 being the baby at 1.4k #but part three might get VERY long cause i’m not entirely sure how i’m getting to the ending #and juggling TWELVE CHARACTERS IN ONE CONVERSATION and not getting Wordy is. perhaps an impossible task #scar being the main character doenst help that either lol #like he’s uncharacteristically quiet because this is right after his win #but he still thinks a lot

horrible day. zero stars. disgusted & appalled

#arrived here at six am to do stupid tasks and now i'm stuck with the worst of the register supervisors eho i want to punch #here until twelve and it's only seven thirty #appointment at 12:30 to get my car checked over so i'm allowed to Keep Driving It #and i bet it's gonna be a disaster and it'll cost 500€ and they'll spit at me and punch me so much #i can barely talk i just want to go home
