I have been in a love/hate relationship with this video for 2 years, making sure it was perfect, but I'm so happy and proud of how it turned out. This is my first Nirvana In Fire video, and hopefully, I will be making more.
This video is dedicated to @not-saying-revolution-but after she made me a gifset from Guardian.
Drama: Nirvana In Fire (琅琊榜)
Song: This is War
Artist: Thirty Seconds to Mars

Aged shou mei, this is my first time having aged white tea.
Lovely rich notes of grape juice? Reminds me of the homemade grape juice my grandma used to make. Def those classic earthy early spring foliage notes, reminds me of the smell of freshly peeled aspen bark.
I'll be returning the favor to you 💖 What would your Ocs (Specifically Primis) think of my Primis ocs?
alright let me try :D
Xiu (Wei): He sees Lena as his big sister, since he never had one. She's kind and caring to him, so he listens to her the most. As for Ji Eun, he's kinda afraid of her. Constantly getting yelled at because of his reckless behavior, but he still respect her. He isn't the most fond of Arthur for pulling pranks on him, but he gets him back sometimes so its mutual. He sometimes gets babysit by Dragomir, which he doesn't enjoy but still see him as a big brother.
YuLan: She calms whenever Lena is around, although they don't tend to talk much, she feels safe around her. Ji Eun is like her spirit animal, the similarities between them made her very comfortable around. She sees Arthur as a tall guy, but also a gentle giant to her. Dragomir and YuLan don't tend to talk a lot either, but she cares for him and sees him as a good ally.
Viktoriya: She loves seeing another woman who like science (Lena is a medic, while Vik is a chemist). She also find Lena amusing to tease whenever she asks question about Nikolai. She treats Ji Eun with respect, mostly to avoid getting called names. She sometimes loves to joke around with Arthur, she loves talking to him. Vik is always happy when Dragomir asks questions about her and Nikolai, always willing to listen.
James: He seemingly respects Lena, he enjoys talking to her, sharing stories about each other. He sometimes enjoy teasing Ji Eun, getting brave to joke around the little grumpy bean, but deep down, he enjoys her company. Seeing Arthur made him more confident to work on the investigation, he felt happier seeing another British fighting along with him. He would sometimes share his latest findings with Dragomir, mostly because he asks lots of questions and James loves questions.
I tè bianchi invecchiati: una scoperta di complessità e dolcezza (articolo di Silvia Battistini)
[Con questo articolo esordisce su questo blog la mia allieva avanzata Silvia Battistini che sono felice di presentarvi perché sono sicura che in pochi anni diventerà una persona di spicco nel mondo del tè].

Il mondo del tè è vasto e ricco di sfumature, e tra le varietà più affascinanti ci sono sicuramente i tè bianchi invecchiati.
Si parla di tè invecchiati…
Welcome to Lunar Cove, RI! The supernatural population is all, but extinct. The hunters band together, acting under the guidance of a mysterious figure known only as the Catalyst to erase the different magical species off of the globe. Families, friends, and homes were all destroyed amongst the chaos. Only Lunar Cove survived. This historical seaside town is now the only safe haven for supernaturals, being the only place in the world where supernaturals can exist out in the open without fear of persecution. The magical border surrounding the town wards strangers away and tampers with any human’s memory who dares to leave. With looming threats on the horizon, Lunar Cove may not always seem like the safest place to live, but, for supernaturals, it is just about the only place left for you.
— ABOUT LUNAR COVE
Lunar Cove is an OC supernatural town roleplay that offers a safe and inclusive space for dedicated writers who are focused on creating entertaining plots and dynamic characters. Welcome to Lunar Cove, neighbor!
idk if anyone else mentioned it but blizz really went full out on the japanese stereotypes. Like not only are genji and hanzo ninjas, they're also yakuza. two stereotypes for the price of one. As much as i bitch about how blizz made a chinese character that isn't chinese and how mei has zero cultural inspiration, i am def grateful that blizz did not actually bother, because i dread to see what blizz would do to a chinese character considering how they treated their east asian characters.
some alternate timeline has blizzard including three chinese characters that all trained together and all know martial arts and do Jackie Chan style noises when attacking. Also gongs play when they take a step. This will do numbers on the diversity chart
This poll might look a little familiar.... Due to a timing mix-up yesterday, I am proud to present the 'Best Non-Sword Weapon' poll take 2: Electric Boogaloo!
This time I've chosen to group the options by weapon with wielders in brackets*. Due to space issues, the media that each of them come from is under the read more, and this is definitely a non-exhaustive list!
*Except Xie Lian, who by virtue of winning the previous poll has been brought straight through to part two!
Thank you to everyone from the NiF discord and the watch party discord (and especially @shadaras) who have been amazing at suggesting characters with non-sword weapons! Couldn't have have done it without you! Also thank you to @thebansacredbanned who looked up the names of various obscure characters for me.
Propaganda, examples, and write-ins absolutely welcome!
