Welcome to the Circus!
Count Bleck is the Ringmaster, Timpani is the Funambulist (aka the person who walks on the tightrope), Nastasia is the animal enchanter and hypnotist, Dimentio is obviously the Magician, Mimi is Dimentio's assistant and the Contortionist, (I can imagine both of them being acrobats too), O'Chunks is the also obviously Strongman and the Fire Breather and lastly but not least Mr.L is the globe of death motorcyclist!

It is so scary that it was confirmed that the truce between Hamas and Israel would not start before Friday, and then Israel arrested the director of al-Shifa, ordered the immediate evacuation of the Indonesian hospital, and there have been major deadly attacks on Northern and Central Gaza. It is clear death toll will surpass 15,000 before the temporary pause ever begins.

*panting*
What was I thinking?
"Who's your daddy?" Who says things like that?
I need to get it together and focus on my investments.
The BUSSY controls my every waking thought.
And I have lost my path.
Forgive me, Lord.
And allow me passage back to The Grindset.

the hitch in van helsing's words when he says "i beseech you" im going to cry for real this time. it's not even simply that he knows how important it is that he gets arthur to trust him, that he's conscious of their duty to all living souls and lucy herself to do this to her and how difficult this will be physically and emotionally. it's that arthur now distrusts him, cries at him in anger - arthur, the man who looks like his lost son and whom he loves because of it. the man whose love and respect he may now never get back after suggesting mutilating lucy's corpse. he isn't just desperate for all the men in that room to trust him so they can give lucy peace and keep the living safe. that's the sacrifice of his father's heart splitting in two right there. wtf alan burgon.

I'm supposed to be working but instead I'm thinking about Li Lianhua growing vegetables and how, once upon a time, he was so happy that he almost cried when he finally managed to grow some turnips.
Thinking about how he must've been at rock bottom then - sick, injured, heartbroken, having just lost in one fell swoop everyone and everything he's ever cared about. His shixiong, dead. He believes it's his fault. His shifu, dead. He believes it's his fault. His sect, in ruins. He believes it's his fault. His people no longer believe in him. A-Mian doesn't love him anymore. It's all his fault, it's all his fault.
He doesn't have Hulijing yet. He's alone. He's heartsick. He'll be dead in ten years, or much sooner than that if he can't find some food and shelter. His Sigu Sect leader token is only worth 50 taels of silver. It turns out everything he has built his life around is worth only 50 taels of silver. I can hear his self-deprecating laugh. How foolish he must've felt, having his life's ambition put so violently and abruptly into perspective.
Have you ever been so despondent that you cling desperately to just one thing, anything, that you can focus on in order to not think about everything else? So: turnips.
Tending, weeding, watering, counting, day by day by slowly passing day. The vegetables grow and he survives. And finally, one day, he discovers that against all odds, he has turnips. These hands which he believes have caused the destruction of all that he once held dear, somehow managed to nurture creation and support life. Everything and everyone is gone, but here in his hands is this one small glimmer of hope that perhaps he is not only capable of ruin. How happy he must've been. Was it the first time he felt joy since before the East Sea battle? How he must've wanted to tell someone, but there was no one there.
You know who he must've most wanted to tell? His shifu. His shifu, who once told him that he didn't care about Xiangyi becoming any great martial artist. Just eat well, drink well, and live well. Maybe kneeling there in the dirt, gently cradling his small misshapen turnips in his hands — maybe that's when Li Lianhua finally understands what Shifu meant.

[Slight Spoilers, I guess?]
I love so much how silly Chosen is in the new AvA with Orange, the sillies, I used to think of their dynamic being like that and finally seeing it's just amazing
Visual representation of how I see the dynamic
