Lightning, water, and fire! Like forever before the plot starts. By the time the plot starts, the lightning and fire deities have been subjected to punishment by the two gods that picked them.
Oh (the fire deity) is first to be punished. They basically decide that since they're going to live for a long time, gotta set some long time goals! And they opt to be the wrath of the gods since most of the other deities are too 'soft' in their opinion. So Oh just. Smites humans. This isn't really a /good/ thing and in their defense mentally, they do it to help Ymber since he's the softest of them all. So their punishment by the gods is to be split in two, effectively halving the power of one into two. (Now they are in a male and a female body and use both male and female pronouns apart since they together make they but apart it feels weird to be they. But prior to the split they use they/them. Also the split bodies go by the names Ohiwe and Ohime.)
Fulj is the second to be punished. She falls in love with a mortal woman and that is a crime according to the gods. Mortals and immortals are not to be together and it will only bring suffering to both sides. So her punishment is her memories of the woman are stripped and her body basically broken to the point she can't remain physical all the time.
Ymber, unfortunately, is the one who blames himself for the discoveries and punishments. If he had only tried to restrain Oh more then maybe they would have chilled out and stopped before being punished. If he had only tried to persuade Fulj to not continue seeing the mortal woman so often perhaps she wouldn't have been punished. So he's just increasing the guilt on his shoulders every day that he remains unpunished since the elder gods have both laid down to rest. They can't enforce their laws anymore and none of the deities are keen on harming one another at this point. They just want to continue existing in peace.

cicadas are fun to eat if you are an animal , or a person, nom nom nom crunch crunch. They only come out every couple of decades though, so you’re gonna have to wait a long time before you can see them again. Gorge yourself until then. Decorate your windowsills with their shells, record their buzzing to listen to while you sleep. Don’t forget, you can’t forget. okay bye.

Ok so I do really like when people draw Bubba Sawyer blushing through his mask. It's very cute. And it's an obvious way of showing it.
But also... I really like the actual thought of him blushing... where you can't see anything through the mask obviously, and he's hot af under it and it's so uncomfortable for him bc it's just like an oven in Texas as it is, which would only make that worse, so if you could see in through the holes at all, he's oh so red and flustered. Like some of the few indications of him blushing is if you can somehow see when he moves his head at the right angle, or if he pulls at the mask slightly to make it less hot, or when he kind of makes a noise and you can just tell by his mouth - either bc of him somewhat smiling a little or how he kind of nervously licks his teeth and lips - he's really happy or giddy.
Okay but also also, Bubba is super readable through his body language anyway - he doesn't simply stand there, emotionless, usually. Leatherface can be very animated and you can tell what he's kinda thinking pretty easily I feel like?? Or at least you can get a general idea of what might be there.
Sure, he can stare blankly, but that's when he's head empty and he has to focus on the job at hand or he is kind of just going through the motions. When he has a single thought in his head though, he does try to express it.
It's strained and difficult for him to talk any kind of normally, being basically non-verbal, so he resorts to big displays of emotion though every action. Hell, he screeches all the time at heightened emotion.
(rq I remember the very first time I watched the first movie and how I was actually taken back and was like aw omg what it's like he has anxiety about these people he just killed being in his house and it like stresses him out?? He's almost worried someone else is going to show up, and he's waiting for his family to get home because he's all alone and doesn't like that these people came in and surprised him, so when he just sits down and puts his head in his hands I actually felt like I could understand his thoughts a little. Especially so, after we meet his family and see how they treat him.
And don't get me started on the second movie with how you can see his visible confusion with how he just kind of nods and shakes his head and shrugs a lot. And the moments when he is joyful and concerned and conflicted and curious - they each have a reaction and distinct movement. They definitely made him act things out more in the 2nd one, but it felt like the same character.)
Anyway, I mean, if he isn't babbling incoherently, squealing loudly, or making any other sounds, he's twiddling his fingers together or touching his hands to his mask, or holding his arms to himself. He also paces and fidgets and rocks in place. Like any of those things would be a huge tip off if something was making him blush.
I just really like all those small details too, in actuality.
..... I know you can't draw this stuff as easily, but I like to think about it, y'know, just... practically.

got proper sleep last night, woke up full of energy, got groceries despite the horrible roads, and now I am going to make slow cooker chicken with the fancy seasoning my aunt got me and clean the apartment while relistening to taz balance. IDK WHERE THE ENERGY AND GOOD VIBES CAME FROM BUT I WILL RIDE THIS WAVE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!

i cannot stress this enough:
nie mingjue tried to kill jin guangyao, both before and after he died, but nmj’s reasons for trying to kill jgy never included “jin guangyao killed him.”
nmj never knew that jgy played a part in his death.
he was generally paranoid, but there is no indication that he had any real, concrete information about anything jgy was dealing with. nmj never actually knew anything about what jgy was doing.
he did not know that jgy had done anything to the music, and he had no reason to believe that the progression of his qi instability was anything other than natural. we don’t see any indication that he even acknowledged that it was getting worse.
moreover, nmj tried to kill jgy multiple times BEFORE he died, even before jgy started playing for him. even after jgy was playing for him, what finally set off nmj’s fatal qi deviation was not, in fact, the revelation that jgy was trying to kill him, but overhearing jgy’s private comment to xichen that nmj was treating jgy poorly. that was what sent him into his fatal, paranoid rage.

playing the accordion is great. i can’t wait to find new ways to play it, too. my teacher is big on folk music and european styles, which i also very much enjoy, but i am excited to test the limits of this instrument. i want to see if i can make nin style melodies sound good on this thing lol.
the accordion has such a unique and diverse sound, and it’s my hope that as i sharpen my skills i can find interesting ways to apply it to music that would not typically be paired with the accordion. one of my favorite things to see is when people mix up genres and create their own styles with music, and as far as i’m concerned, anything goes. i can’t wait until i’m familiar enough with the instrument to start using it in my own electronic music !!
