@esper-aroon has enabled me, so here let me scream at y'all about The Imperial Uncle.

Okay, so I recently read The Imperial Uncle (Huang Shu) by Da Feng Gua Guo from Peach Flower House and I really loved it??? It's first person pov, mlm, about the Emperor's uncle Jing Chengjun, who is mistrusted by everyone simply because of who his parents were and his position, and so he's basically given up on trying to convince people that he's actually a nice, decent person without ulterior motives. He's super trapped by his position, and there's so much he can't say and do, and he's also a hopeless romantic, like, from his own mouth all he really wants is to sleep beside and wake up next to someone who actually gives a shit about him, and even that is basically out of reach in his life. Like, the book starts with his wife (who he has never once had sex with) storming into a meeting he's having and announcing he's a cuckold and she's pregnant.

But also, this poor bastard really thinks he knows what's going on and his very smart. Very unreliable narrator. He's actually kinda a hilarious, impulsive himbo. But the TL:DR is that his loneliness and isolation and the extent to which he's politically trapped routinely lead him to make absolutely terrible decisions.

E. Danglar's translation is absolutely gorgeous, too, and... idk, if you love political plots, melodramatic idiot main characters, a dose of pining, and a slow burn that eventually pays off, come take a look??? (some people think it's a love triangle??? idk, I never really got that vibe, I never felt it was really in doubt which of the two potential dudes he'd end up with, but maybe I only feel that way because I got it right, lmao).

Anyway, I can't stop thinking about how these two idiots end up finally finding each other and getting together, and I have an entire AU in my head (a modern corporate one) and part of another (canon divergent from like a decade before the book starts), and I just want people to love this book as much as I did and scream with me about it.

#unforth rambles #da feng gua guo #the imperial uncle #huang shu #the first au is jing chengjun and li ransi meet and have a fling during a vacation #and then find out that they work for the same company #hijinks ensue #the other is an au that starts with what if jing chengjun's father had actually been accused and convicted of treason #whether he was guilty or not #and his family was sentenced to death #but because jing chengjun is a youth he is instead made into a eunuch and forced into servitude to the imperial family #i know it's a stretch that someone of his stature would be treated that way instead of killed or sold off as a slave #i just don't care #anyway he's given awful jobs at first and they leave him weak and sickly but eventually it because clear he really isn't a threat #and he's allowed to help raise the princes in the next generation including the crown prince #and he also gets to know the other young people around the palace but as a subservient slightly older person #instead of as their elder of higher rank #and then liu tongyi is like okay so everyone thinks you're useless do you want to be a spy for me and help me uncover treason #and he's like FUCK YEAH #and love unfolds from there ofc

Oh my god. The end of the route with Venti. Kaeya slipping away because he’s not a follower of Barbatos and thinks that means he’s not a true son of Mond. Venti essentially telling Kaeya and Traveler point-blank that he’s tired of losing the people he cares about before the ending (I think he’s alluding to the nameless bard’s death before he got to see New Mondstadt + maybe the Ragnvindr ancestor leaving before the same). The poem and exchange at the end where Venti tries to tell Kaeya that it doesn’t matter that he doesn’t follow him and is from Khaenri’ah, he’ll bless him all the same (and what a thing to say to a descendant of the godless nation)!! I am also specifically losing my mind over this line

(Yeah he sure does have stars in his eyes, and the Abyss euphemism is NOT subtle. Kaeya admitted in Caribert that he doesn’t want to be connected to the Abyss, and the poem as a whole is Venti describing Kaeya’s struggle with who he’s meant to be and his fate)

And this one

The thought of not having to live forever in struggle over his identity under the shadow of the legacy his ancestors have left him, and being able to choose the dawn—I can’t help but think this is intentional; the dawn is widely used as a symbol of new beginnings, but it’s got to also be representative of his adoptive family (especially Diluc, whose name origin diluculum apparently means dawn) which is closely associated with dawn.

#I still have two endings left so fingers crossed the brothers get to talk #give us some lore. tell us about your childhood. did your dad ever bring you guys on vacation to sumeru after kaeya’s ill-planned adventure #also the whole safe harbor thing. yes it could just be venti’s respect for mortals but also he loves kaeya as much as he loves everyone else #in mond okay that is his boy. #do not boo me #anyway. good night if anyone needs me I’m going to be crying myself to sleep #liveblogging #mine #rambles #genshin spoilers #kaeya hangout spoilers #genshin #genshin impact #kaeya alberich #venti

Entirely self indulgent dp x dc x mlb prompt

—

-Danny & Adrien know each other, maybe via Magic Stuff, maybe it’s the classic “event in a convenient spot”, doesn’t really matter. Point is they’re hero friends who both know each other’s secret identities and keep in touch.

-At some point, Danny is forced to relocate from Amity park because of a reveal gone horribly wrong. He bolts and keeps going until he can’t anymore. He’s picked up by a stranger.

-(Generally he doesn’t drop his transformations by accident anymore but thank the ancients he did this time because he would’ve had one hell of a time explaining to this stranger why his blood was bright neon green. As it stands, the biggest question is what the hell happened to him.)

-Nightwing is just vibing, doing his nightly patrols in Bludhaven, when he finds this kid half unconscious in an alleyway, bleeding out. They more or less beg not to be taken to a hospital when Dick suggests it, so instead he takes them to one of his safe houses and patches him up there (This kid is 16? Maybe? Why’s there an open autopsy incision-)

-Danny is not in any shape to be going anywhere and on top of that, his accelerated healing is working at a third of the speed it should be because of the materials that were used to hurt him being anti ghost, so Dick manages to convince him to stay in his misc safehouses - he doesn’t need to stay in just one, he’s allowed to move between them, just please don’t leave entirely.

-Danny explicitly requests that as few people as possible get involved in this, and yes that means the rest of the bats. If he can leave once he’s healed without anyone but Nightwing ever knowing he was there then that’s for the best.

-Except, as it often goes, Danny gets attached to Dick and Dick gets attached to Danny and the Reveal happens, etc.

-While he’s still healing and can’t do much of anything, a story runs on the news. Dick doesn’t think too much of it at first, but Danny gets really concerned when he sees it.

-“-Paris’ supervillain Hawkmoth has finally been taken down. Secretly the popular fashion designer Gabriel Agreste, many people who have heard the news are devastated. His home is currently being searched….”

-Danny goes “oh shit!!! I know that guy!!!” and immediately calls up Adrien and asks if he’s alright, what he’s doing, etc and the resounding answer is no, Adrien’s having an existential crisis, and he’s staying with friends while he figures out what to do with himself.

-Danny explains his own situation, specifically that he was displaced but found a safe (and at this point he really doesn’t want to leave anymore) home with another hero, and Dick, who’s only heard half of the conversation but understands that someone Danny knows and trusts with his own identity needs a place to stay, and offers Adrien a place here.

-Adrien decides to take him up on that offer. He’s being harassed, moreso than he ever was simply for being Adrien the model, because now he’s Adrien, the supervillain’s son, and since Hawkmoth was pretty localized he’s hoping that it won’t be near as bad in a different country.

-Now Dick has two kids in his care and he’s feeling more and more like Bruce by the day because he’s just gone from living alone save for whatever times he visits the manor to having two kids in his house, relying on him for safety and emotional support in the span of like. Two weeks.

-Reveal x2 with Adrien, all that Bonding Stuff™️

-Adrien and Danny get to talking and they’re both experiencing some cabin fever and so they decide “yk what?? We could help Nightwing with his hero work!! The area already has a metric fuckton of heroes, what’s two more?”

-It’s actually rather easy for Adrien to convince Nightwing because he gets why Adrien wants to be back out on the field. Danny, on the other hand, is finding it way harder, because Dick is already worried about Danny’s injuries.

-They both manage it though, under two conditions.

-1. They can’t be Phantom and Cat Noir. Not only is it going to be incredibly obvious if/when they make any public appearances as civilians, but also it’s going to raise questions and unwanted attention.

-2. Minimal magic and ghostly powers. This ties back to the previous stipulation, technically. Cataclysm is too recognizable as a miraculous thing, and it could be detrimental in a fight where Adrien can’t get away to recharge. If Danny used too many of his ghostly powers, he could give himself away as a ghost and become a target for hunters.

-Cue a montage of Dick hiding his two new protégés from the rest of the bats because he wants it to be a surprise and also he wants their debut to be on their terms for safety and damage control reasons while trying to set them up with the appropriate training and gear (moreso Danny who needs a whole new suit than Adrien who can just redesign his magic suit)

-The other bats are absolutely certain something is up with Nightwing and they’re proven right when two new players make their debut.

#dp x dc #dc x mlb #dp x mlb #dp x dc x mlb #OKAY SO #Adrien’s hero name is Salem but I can’t think of one for Danny :( #I might come back to it later though because I have Ideas for Adrien’s costume #Adrien still keeps in contact with the miraculous team ofc but they all decided they were gonna take a goddamn vacation #they deserve it after the time they’ve had #also imagining how this goes down is great #Batman: you know the rules about metas. it’s dangerous #Nightwing: those are your rules for Gotham. Bludhaven doesn’t have anything of the sort and they’re based with me not with you #B gets pissed off about it less because of their abilities (because he’s mostly sure they’ll be safe with Dick) #and more because Dick actively kept it from him #Nightwing being protective of his kids #the other bat siblings ABSOLUTELY make jokes about Dick taking after Bruce’s adoption habits #Danny and Adrien are also making jokes about it #miraculous ladybug #Danny phantom #dc comics #nightwing

Kind of hard to ask as anon

But you doing ok?

Need to vent?

Hi very kind and thoughtful of you to ask, i am doing mmmmm suboptimal but i do not need to vent to a person per se, so much as i need to say absolutely insane shit in my tags and have everyone pretend not to see <3

#my stuff #asks #this is the problem with using tumblr as a multi-role platform bc when i want to talk about my fcuking metnal illness i stress- #about my online friends judging me for it #not in like a mean sense but just that it feels like it would change their opinion of me #like on tumblr u can say you have adhd or autism (i have the latter and likely the former) #but anything more intense is regarded as sketchy #so when i’m having symptoms disease of an additional metnal illness it’s like hmmm i don’t think i’m supposed to talk about that #mostly because the majority of the time it’s something i mask over #and do subconsciously until i get particularly tired or stressed or fatigued #so when i get to those states i’m trying extra hard not to blindside everyone with what a fucking mutant i am under the surface #like yippee hooray more ammunition for some transphobe to use in 3 weeks next time i get anon hate #anyways im. tired. i need more tattoos. i need a vacation. i need a forever hug. i need to feel cute. i need things to just be okay #i need to not be fractured into so many snapping pieces i need to know what is expected of us #i need to not feel like an adult babysitting a child who’s actually controlling me #i feel weak and undisciplined but i know fixing those won’t fill the hole gnawing my heart #im going to bed. blegh.

[sleevebuscemii]

the way i will literally get a crush on you if you are nice to me and cool and seem interesting and genuine and i find you attractive the way i am literally describing the reasons every person in the world gets crushes on people but the way i will literally get a crush on you if you are nice to me and also i like you its crazy

#i am crushing HARD on this guy on my trip and its not okay. #like girl you are on VACATION you will not base how good of a time you’re having on how hard a man laughs at your jokes #(he laughs really hard tho 👁️👁️) #like yessss im so funny and cute when im arguing with you about the metric system yessss #m

[ahagisborn]

I typed up an impassioned rant yesterday about some family bullshit that I'm in the middle of but by the time I was done I wasn't Yosemite Sam-levels of angry anymore, but just quietly frustrated and sad so I'll post the gist (bc I do still need attention and I think my mom is sick of talking to me)

my cousin's husband's mom had knee surgery on Thursday, but they also left for vacation on Thursday? I guess they thought she'd have inpatient rehab, but said cousin's husband would come home early if needed. well obviously she got discharged to home the next day and I started getting texts from my cousin about how much money flights back were. I told them all I couldn't be the "on-call" person for this but I guess they decided they could just disregard that and now cousin's husband is not coming home until next weekend and I am indeed the "on-call" person for this? which I know from my cousin's husband's mom asking me to do all this shit I said I couldn't do, as my cousin has stopped texting me and her husband NEVER ONCE texted me

#okay this was still a rant lmao but you should've seen the state of the one yesterday. i had smoke coming out of my ears #i just feel so disrespected it's unreal. like i guess i'll just go fuck myself then? #thankfully my other cousin (cousin's brother) is here and he got roped into the horseshit so he's helping me out but this is not our fuckin #job. we're not her children. strong case for having more than one kid tho as backup if your one is a fucking flop. #when i picked her up she was saying she didn't want to stress him out and that he should just enjoy his vacation. well i hope it's the wors #worst vacation he's ever had and he gets stung by a jellyfish and has diarrhea on the plane

[aquickstart]

sorry i'm just thinking again about how felix, seen as the sun of oliver's world, filtered through the many references to greek myth, blessed by apollo, the god of sun and disease, sends the arrow of the plague of obsession to forever be lodged in oliver's heart, to forever be stuck in the wound of saltburn, sorry, ah! sorry i just–

#saltburn #cattonquick #on MY blog? wow. okay kidding i love them. as a concept. #anyway. you thought ive shut up. no. i just have a lot of work to do before vacation #the rot never ceases #saltburn journaling #mine

So,

As I said earlier this week, I'm on vacation and hope to get around to some of your asks soon. But in the time I posted that and now, things happened, the world has blown up and the life my 67 year old friend and helper had in Oahu, is upended. I'm currently helping with relief efforts for Maui, and if anyone is so inclined, please see this link for a list of local Hawaiian charities that can get real help to people who most need it right now. It's a list made by native Hawaiians with confirmed charities on the top tabs.

#small psa #also for the anon who asked if I'm okay and had seen their ask #I see your asks and I'll get to the good ones soon #sometimes life intrudes and life is rude #I've split my vacation into two sections and will be done with this first section in the next couple days #I'll have more time then #Maui needs a lot of support right now #And my friend is shaken but fine. She doesn't need a GFM but the people of Maui need all the support they can get right now #If you have the means and just didn't know where to donate #please consult the link in the post #maui #maui wildfires #maui strong #hawaii

There’s this someone who keeps insisting I watch the donghua or read the novel.

I watched 50 episodes of The Untamed last year when I still wasn’t in medical school. I had the fucking time to. I literally binged the series a month BEFORE med school. Please have an idea as to how toxic or stressful med school can be especially during the 1st year.

These days, I can’t even watch an 8 episode series anymore.

I just have a break right now and that’s why I’m a bit more active. I prefer to do relaxing things such as crocheting and playing my instrument during my break (and of course, use my phone). I’m sorry if it’s not my hobby to read a novel? I’m sorry if it’s not my hobby to watch donghua?

And even if I do read the novel or watch the donghua, I will still separate CQL from it because I know that CQL changed stuff. Like WWX actually being innocent in CQL but not in the donghua/novel. I will still treat them differently.

Again, there’s a reason why I emphasized my post as CQL only. I EMPHASIZED THAT THE POST IS CQL ONLY. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? There’s a reason why I don’t include MDZS in my tags whenever I voice out my opinion. (I only put the MDZS tag in my incorrect quotes posts.) Because I know that these two are different. If you hate The Untamed, go ahead and block The Untamed tag.

For context: i was attacked because of this post. Not sure if you’ll be able to see the guy tho since I already blocked them. They not only attacked me in the reblogs but also made posts about how I should watch the donghua. Even trashed CQL and said that it’s not an accurate depiction etc etc. They even screenshotted my responses and answered in their own individual posts.

#i doubt that guy is gon see this as i already blocked him but in case you do #this is for you. #you have been warned that the post is about cql only yet you keep mentioning the books #you ppl are the type i want to avoid in this fandom #those who trash on the adaptation just because it’s not exactly the same as the novel #i have always emphasized that i have only watched CQL and not the other versions #the description in my blog also legit says i only know cql #so pls if you’re gonna rub your books opinion on me #just stop following me and block me #it might take a while before i go on to read the books #this summer vacation which is around 2 months i am going to go volunteer in a hospital #not everyone has the time okay #some people have jobs.

Absolutely adore your little comic with Pepperman. He's one of my favorite characters and I feel like people always characterize him as some intentionally hateful person. He just lacks a filter and comes across as annoying! He's so special to me as someone who struggles from the same unfiltered habit.

Fun fact: Mcpig mentioned a while back that the only reason Pepperman and Peppino aren't friends post-game is because Pepperman struggles to enter the pizzeria due to his massive size. Poor guy :')

This is 🥺💖 I think it is a very fitting personality trait. Its that thing about weaknesses in a character being seen as a strength and vice versa (when ur making ur own characters and getting stuck on fleshing them out). Like he is clearly shown as someone who is self absorbed; obsessed with his own appearance, and can easily be dispatched when seeing even a glimpse of his own visage.

But like on the flipside, that can be seen as a positive by deciding its Not him being obsessed with himself, but rather, him being obsessed w beautiful and wondrous things. Things that get his heart racing and make his artistic drive flare. Shamelessly in love with his own beauty is ALSO him being shamelessly in love with anything that is beautiful. No filter! He just says what he says! And like I do think he would be a bit of an ass and a bully bc I think of him and the noise as spoiledt brats who are just used to getting their way. But i like the idea of Pepperman knowing when hes met his match. Since he cant fight and pay his way to get Peppino to do what he wants, he will try more unorthodox methods. Like. Beg. He is just lucky Peppino is completely disarmed when being praised, bc otherwise baring his wants and still being rejected would probably obliterate his ego 😭

#answered #// #/// #//// #///// #pepperman #also that is so silly what do u mean hes too big to fit in the pizzeria 😭 #like okay i can def see that; in my head; pepperman still has to bend down to fit through the double doors #but are u telling me peppino never leaves the pizzeria?? #they can be buddies outside of work 😭😭😭 #peppino is like super okay w this arrangement too #the art sessions #he gets to go to the countryside and take a proper weekend vacation #he gets fancy food and wine #he gets waited on hand and foot by fancy butlers #its a bit much; hes a modest man who enjoys his little house and making his own meals #but its fun to experience it #pepperman is like you can LIVE here and youd be well taken care of ! #bc then he can have peppino there as inspiration all the time! and he knows this human lives in some rinky dink house; surely this would be- #-an upgrade! but hes almost crestfallen and mostly confused that peppino would pass up on that offer #‘at least let me compensate you somehow; i can pay you per session!’ #‘n-no thats not. thats not-a necessary- #‘how much is it to lease that restaurant of yours? 30 Grand? 60?? Tell me. ill pay a tenth of that every session!’ #like peppino would explode i think #he still wouldnt want to take so much money but like….house upgrade….. #pepperman obv doesnt get why hes refusing; and he doesnt know how it sounds to say’please live with me where i can take care of u- #-and draw you whenever im able to’ so hes like. well all i have is money and art….you have to take one of these….please 😭

[hetchdrive]

*through gritted teeth* “how other people feel about me is not my problem” also applies to my parents

#they wanted me to go on vacation with them and months ago i sort of halfheartedly said yes because yeah i like the beach #but logistically it is just not feasible for me to go #they have not said anything guilt tripping at this time but i got such an earful abt not going home for christmas #that i’m like… okay… are you going to start guilt tripping me now?

[devilsskettle]

can i say something really honest. sometimes i think i want something really bad to happen to me so i can use it as an excuse to never do anything ever again

#then i can be like. well you know after the incident i was never the same #can’t really blame me for doing nothing with my life. because of the incident #instead of having to admit that i am lazy and have nothing to offer #and that i’m not really interested in participating in the world as it is #WAIT do you guys know the poem about running into a cave and breaking your ankle #anyway unfortunately this fantasy is completely unrealistic people love to tell people to just get over it #idk why i’m sooooo depressed tonight i’m literally going on vacation in 2 days !! #it’s literally going to be the best ever!! everything is literally so fine and okay
