It so happened that some time ago I bought some plain wood slats, thinking to use them for plant name tags in my garden. Sorting them, I became distracted by the sound they made, clacking together, because the sound reminded me of the very cool bamboo slat scroll books and this scene:
Tumblr media
Being a huge book nerd, I got possessed by an idea: I want to try making myself one! Now, a couple of weeks, some thinking, lots of sandpapering, writing Chinese (badly), sketching and plenty of cursing later... Well, here it is.

The lyrics of Wuji, written vertically from right to left in what I think is called the small or lesser seal script. I love that script, but damn: if you want to remember what it was like learning to write as a kid, I warmly recommend this 😅. I am sure Lan Qiren would have my hide if he ever saw this. Also, I posted the original sketches for Wangxian earlier (here), as I was not sure if I could pull the drawings off... and well, let's just say I do not wish to start painting on wood slats again any time soon 😛.
Edit. If you're interested in the sound, there's a sequel post with a short video.

“It’s so lovely that you’re sharing, no really I’m all ears. But where has all this caring been for sixteen years? For all those years I prayed that you’d go away for good, half the time afraid that you really would. When I thought you might be dying, I cried for all we’d never be but there’ll be no more crying, not for me.”

top 10 most unhinged/chaotic hs3 lyrics
official petition to stop letting that many white men sit together in a studio by themselves
loml - the whole song is unhinged for being about ENGLAND . 
“cocaine, sideboob, choke her with a seaview” - self-explanatory 
“u hide the body all that yoga gave u” - little freak is just little things' sister but no one wants to admit it  
“boyfriends, they think ur so easy, they take u for granted” - the call is coming from INSIDE the (harry's) house
“u pop when we get enema intimate” - if anyone other than harry styles had written/sung this song, there would’ve been an uproar 
“i’ll do everything i can to help u thru” - mans wouldn’t even look his gf in the eyes while she was going thru the worst period of her life 
“there’s never been someone who's so perfect for me, but i got over it” - real tbh  
“do u think i’m cool too?” - do u like me? please check one: ☐ yes ☐ no ☐ maybe 
“i don’t want u to go broke” - lie to me again<3  
“reading ur horoscope, u were just doing cocaine” - he’s just really saying anything

Epic Song Lyrics Round 1, Wave 2, Poll 4
“And in years to come, you'll wander to the place up on our hill / And then you'll cry to our painted sky, "I loved him then, I love him still!" / And you’ll strew some sage and lilies, / And roses where I rot / Of all the flowers you picked, / I knew you would forget / Forget-me-nots”
-Elsa’s Song, The Amazing Devil
“And you find some way to survive / And you find out you don't have to be happy at all / To be happy you're alive”
-Light, Next to Normal
Elsa’s Song-The Amazing Devil
Time Stamp: 1:57-2:39
Propaganda:
the flowers over the rotting corpse, beauty and love above destruction, combined with the fact that they are not the right flowers because the love is for a version of a person that exists only in the mourner's memory. being loved and remembered wrong. is this something?
I really like the emotion, additionally the way the drum in the background gets softer and slower is cool
Light-Next to Normal
Time Stamp: 1:37-1:54
Propaganda:
The musical itself is about living grief and mental illness. When I was at my lowest, I'd feel frustrated at myself for not just... being happier. And despairing that perhaps the depression will never end. The musical kinda address that sometimes grief doesn't end and mental illness doesn't go away, but life is still living. "You don't have to be happy at all to be happy you're alive."

“So anyway I’m leaving; I thought you’d like to know. You’re faithful come what may, but clearly I can’t stay, we’d both go mad that way…so here I go.”
“With you always beside me, to catch me when I fall, I’d never get to know the feel of solid ground at all.”
“What doctors call dysfunction, we try to call romance. And true, it’s quite a trick to tell the dancers from the dance. But rather than let chance take me…I’ll take a chance.”

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying
#it’s good crying dw i am just. i have so many feelings about this story#Seven’s Celestial Commentary#Everything Stays#writing stuff#i may be stuck in bed struggling to type due to personal reasons but that will Not stop me from cooking up ideas for this fic#there is gonna be so much fucking angst and it’s gonna hurt soooooo good#the more i listen to it the more the possibilities expand#i can easily see Moon and Reader going back and forth between verses vulnerably arguing over Sun#but i can also see it being Sun and Moon getting real and discussingcougharguingover Reader#can’t decide which i like more#god i wish y’all could see this story the way it plays out in my head#next best thing would be to keep writing and sharing the story instead of vagueposting abt future plot points tho wouldn’t it lmao#and GOD don’t even get me fucking STARTED on Two Hearts…#Dermot Kennedy’s music is responsible for yet Another plot point for this story and i can’t even be mad about it. his fucking lyricsss dude#‘and so we jump to the THEATER??? in that SAME OLD TOWN???’ DO WE? FUCK I GUESS WE DO NOW!!!#picture me listening to that song and inspiration hitting me like a truck. diligently taking notes like the lyrics r instructions from God#‘she sees his face?? and HE sees HER as the LIGHTS GO DOWN???’ write that down write that down#‘the life that they should’ve had sat between them that night??’ FUCK Man yeah it sure did!!!#anyways it’s chill i’m chill. i’m very normal about my little stories and their musical inspirations!#and i’ve listened to these songs a very normal amount (translation: they will likely be in my top ten for the 2024 wrapped)#(cut to the scenes playing vividly in my head) ‘Well‚ at least I can always say that I /told/ her!’#‘I can’t relate to having a heart like that‚ Sun! With all of your wonder and your trust intact…’#like no i wouldn’t lift the lyrics directly for the song to use as dialogue but FUCk does it work well.. Lucky is such a good script for-#like- a heated conversation between my Relentlessly Positive Sun and my Apathetic Jaded Moon#‘How could our farewell mean as much as our time? Honey‚ I’ll be gone. It’s better if I’m something that you leave behind.’#‘I used to paint these trees‚ now I just scream at the sky. Honey I was wrong. Guess there’s certain things you never leave behind.’#*sobbing shaking throwing up clawing at the walls* I Am Normal About These Characters#anyways uh. on an unrelated note how many song lyrics do ya think i can cram into ES before it’s Too Many#gonna have to start getting creative with how i can incorporate more songs in a way that feels natural and not forced#even tho i am forcing it. i am forcing it very much bc i have songs with applicable lyrics and y’all Will read them one way or another

the thing of it is if we all just individually liked or disliked taylor swift, it would be normal, but as it stands there are people who are obsessively reverent (and defensive) over everything about her and those people are insane and insufferable and wrong. and there are people who hate her vehemently and refuse to entertain the idea of any value (or even acknowledge talent) in anything she makes and those people are generally not insane but they're also kind of insufferable and observably wrong. everybody needs to stop talking about this woman online until we can figure out whats going on
