Now that the final SoKP episodes have passed thru my eyes... Things I miss from the novel:
* Sorry but Jiang Xuening should have killed You Fangyin's murderer with her own hands.
* Jiang Xuening becoming obsessed with Xie Wei's cooking, such that she loves to quietly hang out in the kitchen with him whenever there's a break in the scheming. It's their safe space.
* Jiang Xuening going from being in the palace and part of the target/victims of the rebellion in Life 1 to being one of the financial backers of it in Life 2 and accompanying their fighting forces as they move up through the country as Xie Wei outsmarts the emperor & Xue family & Lord Pingnan's forces at the same time. Spending her 2 years away building the capital needed to help spearhead the rescue of the princess and then go to fuck up the emperor who sent his sister a letter to end her life for the benefit of the country.... (chef's kiss)
* The glorious revolution and making the royal family kill each other to save themselves in order to demonstrate the type of people they are
* Jiang Xuening moving into Kunning Palace at the end, as basically the unofficial minister of finance. She ended up in the same place at the end, but hearts & minds are changed and so the result is different
* Jiang Xuening putting the pieces together that the princess died in the 1st life due to her pregnancy & the emperor cutting ties (intrigue!) Team Fuck The System helping her safely give birth to her son, who she loves despite his origin. Our fav lesbian never has to get married to another dude and can just chill with her son, the cabinet of ministers, and her Ning Ning (with psycho husband in tow, but hey nobody's perfect 😂). Using her power to spread schools for women's literacy with Xie Wei terrifying the detractors into submission.
* When they try to use the Jiang family in the capital to threaten XW and he's like, so what? I was gonna pay back those bastards next for Ning'er so you're saving me time lmaaaaaaoooo
* Speaking of which tbh I prefer the lack of a last ditch bandaid on the Jiang family relationship. She's let all of the pain of the past go and isn't personally seeking to take anything away from them in this life... but she is just done with it. Dad is nicer but he's let his wife behave like this and has been mostly hands off. Feels sorta like Story of Minglan to me - letting the favoritism & emotional abuse happen while playing nice guy. In both novel & drama, he spends years not protesting how Jiang Xuening is cast as the troublesome, uncouth, inferior model. But then the drama decides to rehabilitate them. (Though to be fair, even the drama was half-hearted on this 'wash', cause at the end she's mentioning they're not close and in the last scenes the parents are with the sister and Ning'er is with her found family.)
Improvements in the drama:
* I liked that we got to see Jiang Xuening tell multiple people that she loves XW before she gives him her answer. The angst of it being uncertain what conversations she's having with the princess & ZZ, the risk that she's going to abandon XW for being a hot mess... it made for good dramatic tension in the novel. But for the ROMANCE and creating a sense that the feelings he has are truly returned... It makes the ship better.
* The relationship that FL and ML had with the fake Xue Dingfei was richer. He was a standout for me.
* Yan Lin had a happier ending. He really stole my heart in this 2nd life and like Jiang Xuening I felt no need to see him haunted by his vile actions in another universe. It was emotionally satisfying in the drama to see him at peace. You got us all rooting for him.
* Consolidated the Lord Pingnan plot! We really didn't need to get into their factions and introduce more antagonists.
* Consolidated the You Fangyin romantic interests - no need for a marriage of convenience with 1 dude and then Xie Wei's buddy also carrying a torch.
* I felt like the drama gave Zhang Zhe more personality and I did find it delightful when he was "fighting" side by side with Xie Wei.
* Xue Shu (the Xue daughter) felt like a more developed, fully realized antagonist.
* As much as it "sings" in the narrative to have her end up in Kunning Palace with power in the government at the end of the novel (that was brilliant)... maybe emotionally it spoke to me more to see her initial wish from the start of her rebirth fulfilled. Her original reborn goal was to avoid reentering the palace & exit-out of everything to have a quiet life of peace. None of that power ever made her happy.
* Marriage scenes of the otp thank uuuuuuuuu
* No and actually.. After her royal marriage in the 1st life she definitely doesn't need another big celebration. And with her messed up family relationships and his dead parents... Them doing the marriage ceremony all on their own, cause it's another pact between them, makes a lot of sense and I dig it.
* The reverse callback of whispering while she's waiting for a kiss to say "I'm yours" instead of "get out" 👌👌👌

Passing Peonies - Post War Touya Todoroki - Part V
When the war ended, Midoriya Izuku had proven one thing: That Villains did not need to be killed to be defeated. That you could make friends from enemies.
Touya Todoroki, formerly known as Dabi, had been one of those taken into the rehabilitation program. After one year of intense physical and psychological therapy, he's got the chance to prove himself. To prove that he can be a part of this world.
Complete fic length: 30.600 words - Masterlist
Warnings: poor mental health and resentment against past actions is mentioned, burn scars etc. as well. There is angst but this is mostly soft Touya coming back to his family...
Tumblr media
Part 5: (2k words)
“I have to say something.” Touya says and watches his therapist.
After more than a year of this he should be able to read him as well as the other way around, right? But he still comes up empty, day after day.
“I’m falling in love with my employer.”
“Go on.” 
And it’s like that first time at your apartment, the worlds spilling from his lips like molten cheese, the first word pulling the second and third with it, and so on and so forth.
🌺.
“Hey, can we buy these?” He asks at the convenience store, pointing at a shelf of browning ZZ and pancake plants. 
“If you want.” Fuyumi shrugs. “It’s your money.”
“Yeah, yeah. They’re not gonna die, don’t worry. If anything, I’m saving their life.”
“Whatever you say. Hey, you mind eating Curry again tonight?”
“Nah. But you could show me how to do it. I wouldn’t mind helping out with cooking.”
Fuyumi throws him a look he chooses to ignore, content on placing the plants inside the cart.
🌺.
“Be careful with the stems.” He tells Natsuo. “Don’t break them.”
“It’s not that easy, you fucker.” His brother curses. “How the fuck do you tie these ribbons? Is that witchcraft?”
“No, it’s a skill and you’re lacking it. If you can’t do it, let me. Just make sure there’s plant food in the water or the roses won’t keep fresh as long.
“Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to cut some flowers for Mom, not a lecture.”
“Be honest, you wanted both.”
🌺.
“You’re home late.” He says when Shouto drags himself inside. “Have you eaten anything today?”
“I had Soba.” His brother mentions and drapes himself over a chair as he starts taking off his uniform.
“I’m making you a grilled cheese. Miso soup too. You need to eat properly.”
“Thanks.” He hears a quiet mumble and so much more that’s left unsaid.
🌺.
His mother finds him outside, reading a book and taking samples of the earth around the garden, rubbing it between his fingers and sniffing it.
“Are you having fun?” She asks and places a pitcher of homemade lemonade and two glasses on the table, taking a seat to watch him work.
“It’s a shame we have mainly grass lawn, mom.” He explains to her, surprised by his own eagerness, his own growing interest. “If we planted bushes and flowers and expand on the diversity of plants, we could help foster not only bees but different types of butterflies and birds.”
“That does sound appealing. Why don’t you talk to your father about it?”
She smiles until her eyes reach a stump.
“I wish he would do something about that tree,” Rei tells him flatly. “It just wakes sad memories.”
He turns to look at the tree stump, surprised that it takes a moment to realize what she’s talking about.
He’d been about 9 years old, and when attacking Shouto did not work, he’d burned down that tree in a fit of rage, knowing exactly how much that tree meant to his parents, as they had been wed under it, in a time when they must have been happy, or as happy as they could have been.
🌺.
“Why’d you never take out the tree?” He asks his father one night after dinner, the two of them alone in the kitchen.
“The same reason I will always carry these scars, even if they could be healed.” He points to the scarring on his face. “It serves as a reminder, a call to change, to protect what I have with the right means.”
“But you could plant a new tree.” He looks out into the garden, pondering it. “Or plant them around it. As if they’d hug it.”
“I’ll think about it. Or better, I’ll let you think about it. If you have a proposal on how to change the garden, you can come to me with it and we’ll go over it.”
“Or you could just let me do it. It’s my job after all.”
“Oh?” Enji raises his eyebrows in a challenge. “You’re feeling up to this?”
“Absolutely!”
“Well, it’s settled then. How long do you need?”
“A day. I’ve got the plan mostly ready anyway, I just need the right weather and a free day to get it all together.”
“Great. You should have both this weekend. Your mother and I will be out of the house anyway, as I’ve booked an onsen for a weekend getaway. You can convince your siblings to leave you alone if you need them out of the house. You can have my credit card to purchase what you need.”
“The limitless one?”
Enji smiles. “Let’s not go overboard, we don’t need flowers made from diamonds.”
🌺.
It’s Sunday morning, barely past 9 a.m. and he’s already sweating bullets. 
He’d thought that being able to sweat again would be a good thing - at least considering how well his skin grafts took to integrating into his body - but now he just feels plain disgusting. The garden looks like an absolute disaster after more than three hours going at it.
He’d started planting the tulips, realized that he wanted a peony bush in the middle of it, and had to dig some of them back out. 
The stone path he’d wanted to relocate is now a heap of dirty stones in one corner and he’d managed to knock over the bag of fertilizer, spilling its contents everywhere.
He feels himself getting frustrated. And tired. This work is harder than he’d imagined it to be.
-
He decides to take a breather, regretting not talking the plan through with you yesterday when he’d had the chance. Just because he’d wanted to surprise you with the news on Monday, telling you proudly how great everything had worked out.
He ponders the problem from the kitchen sink, his second glass of water in hand. 
Hawks and Natsuo could be used as backup muscle, but he doubts they’d come willingly.
Shouto’s on patrol and Fuyumi’s out visiting a friend. 
What he really needs is someone who’d give him direction while letting him do his thing at the same time. What he really needs is you and while he’d never missed a Friday night, he’d kept his distance, or at least tried to, in the weeks since that night.
He knows it’s a good thing. That doesn’t mean he has to like it.
You pick up after the first ring.
“Hello?”
“Hi. Remember how you said I could call you if I ever had a plant emergency?”
“Of course. What’s the matter?”
“That’s the thing. I got free reign on redesigning our garden and it’s… well, it’s looking a bit awful right now.”
“Just a bit? That’s good news then.” He can hear you moving in the background.
“Very funny. I know today’s your free day but would you mind taking a look? I promise you won’t have to work, you can just sit back on the terrace and tell me what I have to do.”
“It’s no problem, Touya-kun. Just tell me your address.”
-
He realizes, probably five seconds before you ring the bell, that you might have no idea how rich the Todorokis really are. 
But if you feel out of place in your scuffed-up trainers and grass-stained clothes, you’re not letting it show.
Touya explains his plan to you while he shows you the garden, pointing out what he’s already done and what he still has to do.
You nod and nod, look around and pinch the earth just like he’d done and he feels a little proud that he’d copied you without knowing.
Finally, you step up to him and point at the heap of stones.
“You wash them and put them where you want them. After that you take on one part of the garden after the other, minimizing trampling over done work. You’re a little early on the tulips but they should do well. Peonies are a bit risky at this spot and the way you’re planning it, you’re leaving no spot behind to actually use the garden.”
“Use it?” He blinks. “What do you mean?”
“Do you always sit on the terrace? Or do you sit on the lawn too?”
“Well, we used to play outside as children but we’ve grown out of that. I don’t know if Mom still sits outside.”
“Okay, that’s just as well. You just have to be aware of everyone’s needs if you plan for a whole family. What will you do about the tree?”
He should have known you would notice it the second you stepped outside. 
Even if you only point it out now he can tell you’re affected by it. He sighs.
“It burned down when I was about 9. Mom says it makes her sad and my father wants to keep it as a reminder. I… well, I wanted to plant things around it, so that it would seem like the plants would hug it, maybe?”
“Why?”
Your eyes are on him, your question digging deeper than he thought it could.
“When I… When I…” He coughs and tries again. “When I… almost died… at the war… I remember coming to, waking up to my family hugging me, as if they were holding me together, keeping me in one piece. I like that picture.”
You hum. 
“So now we know what your mother wants, what your father wants, and what you want. What about your siblings?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t ask.”
“You said that you felt like Touya had to die for Dabi to live and Dabi had to die for Touya to live but for your family, they were always one and the same. It’s the same with the tree, isn’t it? Whether it stays or it goes, it seems dead to all of you. Have you ever thought of the possibility of it being still alive?”
Touya knows, in theory, that you’re still talking about the tree. But it feels like you’re talking about him.
Has he ever thought of the possibility of himself being alive? 
-
You kneel down in front of the stump and hug it, your cheek resting on the place where it had been cut down. 
It feels personal, like you’re hugging him and you’re not hugging him until you’re starting to hum, a tune he’s heard so often he can hear himself tune in.
Under your arms the tree stump glows faintly until it grows and grows, two thick stems rising up and pushing your face away, entwining and circling each other, growing up and up and up. They’re the height of a bush, a person, taller now than the first tree had been, its foliage a friendly green that smiles down at him.
You sink to the floor next to it and he’s too slow to catch you, can only pick you up and carry you inside, your sleeping form fitting too well into his arms.
-
He washes the stones and places them, thinking about himself at age 9. He finishes his display of tulips and peonies and thinks about himself, waking up from a coma.
With every flower bulb he plants, and every bush he places, he thinks about the past.
It’s therapeutic, in a way, to feel himself come alive in this place.
He’d wondered if this was growing into a new obsession, but could it be an obsession when it feels so healthy?
By the time you step back out, he’d started placing the plants he wants to “hug” their family tree.
“Sleep well?” Touya asks when you kneel down next to him and dig your hands into the dirt.
“I’ve never been able to grow a tree in one sitting.” You explain to him, your voice soft. “But it wanted to grow.”
“Yeah.” He looks up at the foliage. “He’s been waiting for his chance long enough.”
“What are you going to name it?”
Toya looks at the two stems that are intertwined now. “Enji and Rei.”
You smile. “That’s a good name.”

He had left the house much earlier than he probably needed to, this was special.. He wanted to do this for you, maybe as a thank you or maybe just cause he felt like it, but either way he wanted to do this. To cook for you.
“Making breakfast huh?”
The cashier smiled as she scanned the items, her eyes looked over Ramattra. Maybe hoping to get a reaction, or just to see if the omnic would respond.
“I… Yes.”
“For a special someone?”
“Yes.. It’s a new year and the last one was hard for them.”
“Want to add their favourite flower into it?”
She moved to the side, revealing an assortment of flowers.. But he was looking for a single one… Sunflowers.
“How much?”
He asked as if he wasn’t able to afford it.
“That doesn’t really matter does it?”
Ramattra shook his head softly. Paying for his items and grabbing the bags before leaving. Maybe this idea wasn’t foolish at all.. He quickly began cooking, pancakes were simple as is, no way he could mess them up.
“Do not burn them.”
He whispered to himself, then before he knew it he was plating it. Fruit assorted on the side, it looked nice. The bouquet.. What should he do with that?
“What is this…?”
Your voice broke his focus, panic rose until he saw the way your face turned into a big smile.
“I wanted to do something for you.. Do you like it?”
“Ramattra..”
The omnic watched as your arms looped around him and your face was pressed into his chest.
“Yes I love it. I love you.”
————
I’m so in love with you @ya-zz <3

LRLG CPN : 1/23/2023 Contribution 🎉
Tumblr media
The first piece for this year, just in time for the lunar new year celebration. as with all the other lrlg, this may be hard to understand because it’s only random incidents. most of these are speculations from our part, and it’s really just nice to read as a turtle. true or not. it’s all cpn anyway.
꘎♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡���
It starts with a conversation between the boys and staff, with GG saying the others got there earlier. the more important bits tho are the following pieces:
"Those few are doing publicity in the company and summarizing at the end of the year"
"It's only been a week since the entire outline, and the content hasn't been filled in yet. Don't you worry?"
"Then I guess your summary this year is another set of templates."
GG: "Well, just pay attention to the wording"
GG: "Movies and TV dramas still need to be separated. Last year, all of them were waiting to be broadcast. Wait for me to talk to him in private” (announcement of working overtime in the company)
WYB: (still out of the situation) What did you say?
GG: It’s useless to tell you
This could be pertaining to yibo-official’s year end post which had a round up of all Bobo’s works. I love this cause it shows how they talk about career related things — even the simple stuff can come up in conversation. and it’s not like we need any more example of how their studios work together. it’s one of the strongest cpns out there, the similarities in their studios’ content.
Plus I like how one of GG’s love language to Yibo is consulting on things like that for him. It’s not because Bobo doesn’t care, but he does not have that sense of being hands-on like GG. ( Bobo is a perfectionist in his acting/dancing/singing but not so much with his social media presence — he doesn’t even post much. that’s what his team is for, to do the social media side for him ) It’s the artist in him ( GG ) and his knowledge in visual media / branding etc that probably makes him more attuned in what is out there representing him and Yibo. He cares so much about every detail when it comes to Bobo, everything will be perfect and up to standard as long as he has a say on it.
Tumblr media
Then there is a whole conversation again between them and their staff. It’s pretty chill and feels like the usual atmosphere when both of the employees come together. Turtles really went back to 2018 with this exchange tho :
WYB: "Nonsense, how many noodles can you eat?"
GG: 👊
WYB: "If you can't say it, just hit it"
GG: 👊👊👊
WYB: “Maybe you can eat two extra sticks after eating noodles”
Staff : "Is this the level we talk about?"
GG: "He's idle"
WYB: "Drink the soup when it is salty"
GG: 😒
Bobo is still coaxing GG to eat more!!!! 😂
The next 2 paragraphs of text are all in GREEN, which means it is all Yibo. Lol. Does he really talk that loudly on the phone? Or maybe this contributor sits close to Bobo. Anyway, read along and see how sweet he is. He really checks up on ZZ and look at that bit about his mom wanting ZZ to come back. and he cooks noodles now? he is bored when he’s not with ZZ? I cannot with them.
Tumblr media
( thinking of this cute bobo while reading 🥺🥺🥺 )
"Didn't you go to bed early last night?"
"Then what's going on here?"
"I asked Miss X to buy it and send it to you"
"The humidifiers will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there are two”
"When are you coming back"
"xx asked when you will come back for dinner"
"If you don't come back, I have to go by myself. It's boring."
"I have a companion, I won't go by myself"
"Not sure when you will come back
"I'll cook noodles for you"
“Get out of the car and eat noodles”
"Mom said you come back and let me cook noodles for you"
Then you have an exchange where Mister Wang is buying strawberries. 🍓🍓🍓 Look at him making everyone feel like they have to have a higher standard when it comes to romance. Wherever he goes, he thinks of what he can get the love of his life. He really spoils him.
WYB (eating strawberries): very sweet
Staff C: You get what you pay for
WYB: Then buy six boxes (give it to him) and send it away
Staff A: You are more sour than strawberries
WYB: If you want something sweet, ask your partner to buy it for you
Staff A: Do you think all men in the world are the same (like him)? Can you still think about giving your daughter-in-law a taste of strawberry sweetness before buying it? Totally impossible.
Worker C: (my wife) She doesn’t eat it, she said it’s just right to eat in summer, but it’s too cold in winter
Staff C (awakened by Mr. Wang, the master of love): Then I will also buy two boxes for (my wife) and send them back.
WYB : Whatever you want to eat, you can follow Brother X (staff C) and come back together
Staff member C: I’m afraid I’ll move the store to you,
WYB : See if there’s any little tomatoes .
Staff member B: I’ve gone to take photos and send them to the group Here, see what else you want.
The last bit is the two of them bickering like an old married couple even if the subject is work. which is their default. you are both so lucky to have each other. ♥️💚
WYB: "Here I want red"
GG: "Green attracts money, wyb"
WYB: "You and I won't be because I am making money"
GG: "What do you mean me and you, what do you mean me and you"
WYB: "Then you asked me to follow you because I am making money?"
GG: "Look at how shameless he is"
GG: "You think you're a lucky cat"
WYB: "Lucky Bull"
GG: "Lucky Dog and Lucky Cow"
GG: "Should I say it or not, you are really lucky"
WYB: "Here you go"
GG: "It's awesome"
WYB: "Ah"
GG: "You better be
WYB: "☺️"
AND THAT’S IT! 🤍
Note: If I “missed” something that jumped out for you in this LRLG post then feel free to reply or reblog and add your thoughts. I don’t purposely leave out certain things, I just add ones that were interesting for me. I say this many many times but it’s impossible to catalogue every single thing that comes out of the fandom. I make posts so I can archive it myself, it’s for my personal use.

hello! is it ok if i request some caregiver schwarzwälder headcanons? :>
Caregiver!Schwarzwälder/Werehound Brute HC'S
Tumblr media
As a general baseline, Schwarzwälder/Choco Werehound Brute is a kind and enthusiastic caregiver with a soft side especially for you. Choco Werehound Brute also has a knack for dressing up, and will be the princess to your knight!
• Learned about age regression through some digging on the internet and Red Velvet Cookie, who was more than happy to teach him the terminology and ropes.
• Acts as a big brother/uncle figure to you, and gives the best bear hug's. Frequently worries about crushing you due to his brute strength, so is extra careful when picking you up or touching you in any way.
• Play fights and wrestling are a must! You quite frequently get so tuckered out you fall asleep, and so good! It's a win win for everybody involved.
• Despite Choco Werehound Brute being your primary caregiver, B.A.D 4 are your babysitters when he needs to do something or running an errand.
• In term's of cooking... he's really bad, like so so bad he is not allowed in the kitchen ever. Luckily, Licorice/ZZ-Skull is a really good cook, so he doesn't have to worry.
• Sometimes holds you like a kitchen appliance because he can. Red Velvet scolds him for this even though you most definitely won't fall in his grip, he still worries. (And also because that is NOT how you hold babies/kiddo's/pet's!)
• Takes you places to have fun with the rest of B.A.D 4, but also takes you places alone too. Love's to spoil you lot's as do the rest of the band!
• Has a special soft spot deep in his heart for pet regressors, and love's them deeply.
• Reads you bedtime stories, or makes them up on the spot when he doesn't have a book to read. If he's out of ideas, he'll childproof a true story, which are normally just missions from when he was a part of the COD (Cookie's Of Darkness).
• Great singer obviously since he's a singer in a band, and sings soft lullabies to you every night. Will also sing to you anytime you ask.
• Love's to play dress up with you, especially if he gets to get a makeover. He honestly thinks it's so fun and enjoys the quality time spent.

hanwenzhou thought of the day: i think wkx has very rarely been sick, and when he's been injured, most of the time he had to hide it or push through. and all this means that the first time he gets properly sick at siji post canon, it's going to be Miserable. he does NOT know how to not do things, he spends so long hiding his symptoms and pretending he's fine, but once he is forced to acknowledge that he's actually sick, he's going to be such a menace about it.
no one wants to deal with him, which is honestly fine bc part of his issue is that he hates the idea of people seeing him in a state of weakness, but hy and zzs are determined. (gx is also determined, actually, but she is also relieved that she can make hy and zzs deal with the brunt of it. she still hovers around outside his rooms a lot tho.)
zzs takes the brute force approach: wkx needs to take medicine? he will refuse to do anything else and also physically make wkx take it. wkx needs to sleep to recover? zzs will just lie down on top of him until he sleeps. this is so zzs doesn't have to say anything, bc if he tries to talk, he will quickly reveal just how worried he is and he refuses to admit that.
hy tries to talk wkx around: if one of them was sick, wouldn't he want them to take the medicine? if he sleeps sooner, he'll recover sooner, and then it will be sooner when wkx won't have to suffer through everyone else's cooking. if wkx is being particularly unbearable, this might be supplemented with drugging wkx—hy is not immune to doing questionable things for those he loves and he's not strong enough to make wkx do anything.

Heard you were hunting for plant fiasco story, and I will give you one but first, I shall fangirl:
OMG YOUR STORY IS SO GOOD I READ IT FIVE TIMES SINCE IT WAS POSTED 🥹🥹🥹🧡
Now for the plant fiasco: my current office has the unkillable ZZ plants scattered through the office to make it look less soul sucking, and we also have a in-house chill garden with vines and philodendrons all over the room and walls. My colleague knows nothing about plants and every time I touch one, like inspecting the leaves or something she tells me to stop because it might be poisonous 😅 so I decided to play a joke on her with our other colleague. Basically we booked out all three floors of meeting rooms in the building and left only the chill garden free so when she needed a meeting room for the day she had to book the only free one. Then we talked really loud with receptionist about the poisonous plants inside the garden (there are none) while the colleague was in there and had the meeting and could hear every single word. She was visibly sweating and looking around… And as we were talking, a leaf fell down from one of the plants on the table and I kid you not, she screamed bloody murder and jumped away, running out of the room. Everyone present was dying from laughing 😂 since then, we cannot have meetings in the chill garden 😅
Hope you don’t me vomiting my equivalent of plant fiasco on you but this was the most evil in-house thing I’ve done 😂🫣
okay first of all this is SO funny oh my god, i can't believe she fell for that??? also the PREP that went into this i'm mad impressed this is a jim from the office kind of dedication to office pranks and i love it
second of all. i couldn't stop thinking about how this was abosutely something charles from the fake dating au would do??? and then i accidentally ended up writing what's essentially an epilogue for the fic so uuuuh... here you go????
Max is just putting the pasta into boiling water, when he hears the front door open and close, and the sounds of someone taking off their shoes and coat. Seconds later, Charles appears in the kitchen, smiling widely.
“Hey, babe,” he says, making his way over to Max and pressing a kiss to his cheek.
“Hey,” Max says, stirring his onions, “how was work?”
Charles’s grin widens as he hops up onto the counter to sit next to where Max is cooking. “You know how it’s been a bit boring now Cecile finally stopped believing the coffee machine is haunted?” Charles’s eyes are sparkling with mischief.
Max sends Charles a knowing look. “What did you do?”
“Me?” Charles asks, all faux innocent. Max raises an eyebrow. Charles grins. “We kind of convinced her all of the plants in that one garden themed meeting room were poisonous.”
Max tries very hard to look unimpressed and stoic about it, but he can’t help but the corners of his mouth turning up. “You are evil, you know that?”
Charles hums. “And you love me for it,” he says, leaning forward and capturing Max’s lips in a quick kiss.
“Unfortunately,” Max says, laughing when Charles squeaks indignantly. Max adds bell peppers and zucchini to the pan and stirs them around a little. “I cannot believe its literally your last week at there and you’re spending it riling Cecile up.”
“I want to go out doing what I love most,” Charles says, swinging his legs a little and grinning cheekily. “Plus, the second I start studying engineering after the summer its going to be all work and no play, so I think I deserve this little bit of fun before that.”
Max hums, and stirs in a few tablespoons of Boursin. Charles tries to stick his finger in the sauce that’s forming in the pan and Max swats his hand away. “You know I’m proud of you, right? For taking that step?”
Charles rolls his eyes, but his smile is fond. “You’ve only told me like, a million times.”
“Well consider this million and one,” Max says, moving away from the pan to let the sauce simmer for a bit, stepping in between Charles’s legs. His hands come to rest on Charles’s knees, and he leans forward so his nose brushes against Charles’s. Charles goes cross-eyed trying to look at him. “I am proud of you,” he whispers, in that small space between them, and then leans forward and captures Charles lips in a soft, slow kiss.
He remembers their first kiss, suddenly. That kiss in Miami, that wasn’t real but felt like it. This one feels real and it is. Max will probably never get over that, how this is something he gets to have now, after almost a year of thinking it was only ever going to be a fantasy. He pulls away, leans his forehead against Charles’s. For a moment they just stand there, in their kitchen, breathing each other in.
Eventually, Max pulls away. “Hey, that reminds me,” he says, “You never told me about the office plant fiasco that made the finance department so mad.”
Charles frowns and then his eyes light up. “Oh, you’re right, I haven’t! God, that’s such a good story actually-“
“Do you smell burning?” Max interrupts him, and then turns to his pasta sauce with a panic, which is bubbling rather violently. “Fuck,” Max says, rushing over to stir it. The damage is done, and it definitely is a little burnt in places, but it should still be edible. At the same time, the timer beeps for the pasta, and Charles takes the pan from the stove to drain it, as Max finishes the pasta sauce.
It’s not until they’re in bed, hours later, Charles snoring peacefully beside him, when Max realizes Charles never ended up telling him about the office plants.

But you've already mastered martial arts and you have someone to drink wine with in the evenings. WOH, episode 28. WKX and ZCL enter the dishwashing room, and WKX apologizes to ZZS at the table for having to wait so long. A smiling ZZS admires the dishes on the table. ZCL says he smells nice, WKX says he's tired and sits at the table. ZCL asks WKX if there's anything else to eat. WKX explains that there is a pot of broth in the kitchen and asks the boy to fetch it. ZCL agrees and runs out of the room. WKX yells at the boy to be careful because it’s hot. ZZS pours himself some alcohol. WKX serves ZZS food and asks him to taste the mushrooms that WKX picked just before cooking. ZZS asks him to let him drink the cook's health first, for which I thank him. ZZS claims that he drinks WKX for health and drinks alcohol. ZCL comes with a pot of broth, saying it's hot, and ZZS says the wine is good. WKX tells ZZS to eat something. ZCL lifts the lid of the pot and finds him listless. The three of them start helping each other eat. WKX tells ZCL to try the food. ZZS claims that the boy is still growing, so he should eat some broth. WKX adds that ZCL should eat some vegetables. Everyone at the table is happy, but both men notice that something is wrong with ZCL. WKX asks the boy if he plans to cry on New Year's Day. He adds that he has to stop because tears in the New Year mean that the whole year will be unlucky and he has to stop. ZCL replies that he wasn't crying, he's just happy. He explains that he once thought he would no longer have a home and never imagined he would celebrate the New Year like this. The gods showed him favor. WKX explains that he hasn't had such a nice New Year's Eve dinner in years. WKX says celebrating the New Year away from home is punishing yourself. Now that he thinks about it, WKX realizes that he was terribly limited. He did various things, fought with others, not caring about his life and its meaning. He tells WKX that after mastering martial arts and becoming the strongest man in the world, he doesn't know why anyone would need it. ZZS listens to this in silence, drinking wine. WKX ends by saying he was a lonely ghost. He had no one to drink wine with at night and no one cared about him. While saying this, he looks at ZZS. ZZS replies that WKX is a martial arts master and has someone to drink wine with in the evening. We finally have a family New Year's Eve dinner. Despite minor obstacles, everything went great and all three heroes are happy. ZCL is grateful to both gentlemen for making it their home. ZZS and WKX must feel bad at this point. Because they know that they are hiding the truth from the boy and they can take into account that when he finds out, he may stop trusting and believing them. WKX talks about its past in a slightly veiled way, only ZZS understands these small allusions. ZZS who cannot fully enjoy their holidays because of this. ZZH perfectly played the role of parent and member of this wonderful family. GJ also did quite well in his role.

hello garden, how are you doing? are you eating well?
after having read and reread and marvelled at your amazing work, i feel so compelled to ask, how do you know so much? your mind is so huge and big! knowing is only part of whats amazing because putting together all of that information and weaving relevant parts of it into characters so artistically and naturally is so admirable. how does one reach such an elabortate level of expression and articulation with words to make it like the reader is living everyday with the characters so intimately that it feels like we're intruding? garden, i am at your feet begging for even a crumble of your knowledge and expertise.
Im doing really good actually!! Leaving town to go backpacking and get some painting done in the woods. Coincidentally the last few months has also been the best I’ve been eating since 2020 because I finally have a tiny kitchen lmao. Thank you for the time you’ve spent with my work—it makes me happy that people still read and engage with them :)
Below cut is gonna be very long. Any thoughts/insights I have strictly applies to the way I approach my work, not any opinions I have on how fics/fiction aught to be written:
What kind of knowledge are you referring to when you ask how I know so much? Like character work, or the worldbuilding, or the technical writing part? Im gonna specifically focus on characters in fic writing:
The best thing you can do is to disregard headcanons and common gags, and treat your characters exactly like people you can feasibly exist next to—like real people, and not a bag full of traits. In the slower moments when i add mundane details, those details will feel natural when they interact with their person’s environment, schedules, geopolitical states, etc. There’s always a compromise between plopping a character in an AU and what their canon behavior is like, and to make a location feel genuine and lived in the character needs to live in the environment, as opposed to the environment growing around the characters.
An example from Deluge—readers have commented on how refreshing it was to have ZZS be more proactive in the chasing part of the romance, but that really was never an intention of mine, and I hadnt started that story on the premise of “what if ZZS was a little more pathetic and whipped”. It was 99% because WKX is set as a cook in this scenario, and in 9/10 cases you can’t have a believable, realistic line cook who actually has time in their life to date healthily, let alone go chasing after someone. Most cooks also eat like shit (i ate ramen and popcorn and fries for a year and lost like 20 lbs on the line—and I found that out for myself a full year after the story came out and I got a new job lol) and are not going to make elaborate meals for their loved ones on their days off. Again—a full overhaul of established WKX lore. To me, at least, it didn’t feel OOC to commit him to this version of himself, because “liking to cook” isn’t a personality, and it’s not a trait that exists in a vacuum. You have to sink into the discrepancies and make a home in it. If you struggle too hard, you know then that either the scenario itself is unrealistic, or your expectations are. I think on the part of the reader (correct me if I’m wrong) these choices I make feel lucid and anticipated—WKX making nothing more elaborate than an egg sandwich for ZZS across 2 stories is a more intentional choice than simply glossing over their food at home, or god forbid having him cook coursed meals in an apartment.
And to balance these weighted choices out, mundane shit that really has no bearing on the story as a whole is great decoration—just use a very, very light hand.
Also I’ve found that the more you dig into that uncomfortable itch at the back of your mind that’s telling you “would this person /really/ be happy, would they /really/ go along with this, are they really going to never talk about this, is this really how their neighbors would treat them,” write out the dialogue/scene for it. You can use it or not, but putting it down on paper/screen will have meant that for a few moments you chose to look at that conflict, tinker with it, and then have made the choice to include or omit.
I’m a very straightforward writer, I pull all my punches, and I run almost every scene/convo I come up with through a mental filter that judges how realistic it would be to hear/watch said scenario if it was happening to me, or next to me. If two people who live together fight, they’re gonna have to awkwardly conduct themselves around each other for the next couple of days. If they have a high elated moment, of course it would follow with something that is emotionally neutral/trending low, it’s exhausting to stay happy. It’s just the natural ebb and flow of life. This applies to an overall story, for an arc, a scene, within a string of dialogue. Natural life meanders. In the story I’m finishing up now almost all the emotional high points have at least 1 intermission where characters put away the shouting to answer the neighbor ringing the door, to comment on how the breeze just picked up, or to bring up another topic entirely, and then circle back to what’s really grating their mind. Because when you’re done fighting/laughing/crying with someone, chances are they’re still there, hanging out and breathing and maybe a little bit bored, and their mouth is a little bit dry.
At the end of the day though this is just how my brain works. This style of writing comes very naturally to me because it’s an extension of me as a person. IRL my mind is pretty blank tbh, I do a lot of observing without it ever ending up in judgement/conclusion,which is why what I write appears to filter through quite clearly, because I’m not getting in the way of the world that’s trying to form itself.
Hopefully this is a good reference for how I run things personally, but your own subconscious style and preferences will have the ultimate say. Im still a very green writer all things considered, and these are just some conclusions I came to retrospectively.
This was so much fun!! Thank you for your questions. Will answer more if u have them :)

20 - ZZ Top - Eliminator (1983)
Tumblr media
Ah, ZZ Top. The Houston blues-rock band known for spinning fuzzy guitars and big ass beards, except for the one guy who's last name was actually "Beard".
Having existed in America during the 80s and 90s (and having lived in Houston itself for a year and half) of course i know their hits (and i can see a few here) but I'm kinda excited to hear the deeper cuts.
Speaking of ZZ Top's deeper cuts: i got to see these guys live at Bonnaroo, but i don't think they quite got the point of Bonnaroo. Typically, if you're there, you're playing the hits. The Big Numbers. The ones you know everybody there is gonna be able to sing along to.
Over the course of 45 minutes, they didn't play a single song i could recognize.
I don't have an ounce of shame in saying that yeah, I left that set early and went to a different stage to watch The XX right as they started playing Intro.
Easily one of the better calls i made at that festival.
•Gimme All Your Lovin'-
Such a simple but effective drum beat. No frills but it doesn't need 'em.
Aggressively horny lyrics, but it feels almost campy with how straight they're delivered.
"If i blow my top, will you let it go to your head?" At the risk of sounding like John Waters for a moment, i think the world needs more barely-disguised lyrics about getting a blowjob, especially these days where it really seems like everybody's horny but nobody fucks.
"You got to pack it up, work it like a new boy should." Happy pride month, y'all.
•Got Me Under Pressure-
This girl sounds FUN AS HELL. I'm reminded of Sheryl Crow here: "are you strong enough to be my man?" (Yeah i know that's not what that song is about but play with me in the space here.)
•Sharp Dressed Man-
1000% the first song that comes to my mind when i hear "ZZ Top".
Also 1000 is likely the number of times I've heard this song in my 38ish years on this rock.
That riff still kicks all kinds of ass though.
Audience participation section: which movie's "main guy wearing a bunch of different suits for 5 seconds each" changing-room montage do YOU think of when you hear this?
(Correct answer: it's literally the background song for every. single. one. since this album came out.)
Also white gloves and looking for love...that's... certainly a look.
•I Need You Tonight-
I fucking love this song!
Oh wait, shit, no I'm thinking of INXS.
Jokes aside, i really like the echoing guitar tone.
Pretty solid bluesy "i miss my woman" song. If this album wasn't already stacked, I'd say this could have been a single.
And that solo, though!
•I Got The Six-
Before this one started, i was wondering what the six was referencing. A six pack of beer? I got your back? HAHAHAHA NOPE.
"I got the six, gimme your nine!"
Again, more songs about blowjobs! Sixty-nining, even!
And also, if you're attracted to women and you don't/won't eat pussy, know that i have lost some respect for you.
Horny as hell song, but it gets a nod of overall approval especially since the end is kinda hilarious.
•Legs-
ATTENTION META: 40 years ago, the bearded ones taught us all about the importance of having Legs and knowing how to use them. Y'all had no fuckin excuse for your floating torso mananangal-wannabe bullshit.
This song goes so fucking hard. At least 35% harder than a song about legs should go. I hate that it fades out during the solo, though. Let that man cook!
•Thug-
I know, I KNOW this album came out at least a decade before the show did, but that slap bass just feels Seinfeld-y. Funky, but Seinfeld-y.
Also, calendar check: June 21 is Thug Day, i guess. Remember to keep your machine guns and money secure, and bust your friends out of jail!
•TV Dinners-
Know what? I can appreciate that Billy and/or Dusty sings about processed microwaved slop with the same exact amount of gusto and dedication that he does about the most beautiful woman he's ever seen.
Otherwise it's basically a novelty song, imo. I can't believe it was a single.
•Dirty Dog-
Ah, the flip side of aggressively horny: the creepy/gross/misogynist angle. God forbid a woman does anything.
Also this really sounds like a ZZ Top b-side. It literally sounds like 4 of their other songs put in a blender for a while.
•If I Could Only Flag Her Down-
The misogyny continues and deepens.
In lieu of a review for this song, here's a lyric:
"I just want to crash her/
I just want to trash her."
And here's the vomiting emoji 20 times:
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
•Bad Girl-
"Praise kinks DNI": the song. I feel like i need a shower after hearing this.
Well, the second half of the album sucks some real shit, but Legs is still a banger. It's pretty easy to see why the deep cuts stay deep, though.
And, like many, many albums I've heard before: after the first 5 or so songs, it's just time to put on a new album.
Favorite Track: Gimme All Your Lovin'. 100%.
Least Favorite Track: If I Could Only Flag Her Down. I'll spare you another 20 vomit emojis.

MoTaro Flufftober
October 15, Dancing in the Kitchen
Takes place when Avdol meets back up with the group. The group decides to have a nice meal to celebrate before boarding the submarine and Moira and Jotaro are on dinner duty for the night.
Songs : Girls Got Rythm, AC/DC. Walk This Way, Aerosmith. Dancing Queen, ABBA. Life In The Fast Lane, Eagles. Sharp Dressed Man, ZZ Top. Anthem, Anthrax.
💖💖💖
Jotaro was not at all thrilled to be on kitched duty with Moira for the night. Everything was too confusing and he just wanted to avoid her like the plauge.
Moira had some how managed to wriggle into his heart, with her bubbly nature, and uncanny ability to read him like a book. Since opening up, to everyone and not just him, Moira has been a breath of warmth. When he had first met her, her eyes were dull but now were full of life and fire.
Green like sea glass
Jotaro scoffed at himself. He really had it bad didnt he? Jotaro hoped that Moira would never be able to tell, he would frankly rather die than have his crush be revealed out in the open. Its uncharted territory for him and he was no explorer.
"Ooh! Avdol really stocked up the fridge!" Moira smiled at him from over her shoulder. Sure enough the fridge was stocked with an array of ingredients. "Oh man....I dont even know what to make"
Jotaro peered into the fridge from behind her, glancing over everything and going over what they could possibly make. Chosing what to cook was the hardest task of cooking. Moira looked up at him with a pout.
"What do you think?"
Jotaro looked down at her, seeing her face upside down. Her bangs had fallen away and she blinked up expectantly at him. Jotaro clicked his teeth before shoving himself away.
"How am I supposed to know?"
Moira letnout a huff before going right side up again. She grabed various ingredients from the fridge, even going as far as to toss them to Jotaro with little more than a "catch!".
"Oh my god! I cant believe Avdol was hiding these!" Moira turned around, her arms filled with a few slabs of what looked like ofdly shaped raw beef. "Tri tip!"
Moira slammed them on the counter with a grin before turning to Avdol’s spice cabinet. She rummaged through, opening jars and giving them a sniff. Setting aside the ones she was going to use. Jotaro how ever thought it was a little odd that she wasnt using spices that she was more familiar with. Her mound of flavorings void of things like onion powder, or paprika. It looked more like she was getting ready to make a type of curry.
Moira heaped everything into her arms before setting them on the counter with a grin. She set the oven to a low low temperature and left it to preheat before pulling her walkman from her pocket. She unplugged her headphones before hitting play.
Jotaro watched, confused as she bopped around the kitchen. Hips swaying to the beat. She waved him over, telling him to wash his hands and get to choppin. Moira didnt even give him further instructions. Just handed him a knife and an onion before leaving him to his own divices.
Jotaro stood a little confused as he watched Moira dance while mixing together the spices. She waved her hand at him
"Get choppin!" She said, before turning back and singing along.
"What are you doing?" Jotaro had grabbed a cutting board and diced the onion just as Moira had asked, but was increasingly growing more confused as Moira danced around the kitchen
"Makes cooking more fun" she shrugs, slapping the spice mixture on the slabs of meat. She rubbed it in, head bopping with the song. "You should try having fun you know"
Jotaro scowled but said nothing. He carefully diced everything Moira handed him, while she busied herself with other various dishes, coming over to grab anything hes chopped and set aside. The kitched was smelling criminally good by now, and Jotaro was pleased to be her taste tester. Being handed forkfuls of rice and veggies and being asked if it needed more of something.
"Okay, can you keep an eye on the oven now? You can pull out the tri tip reaches 135"
"Celcius."
"Oh um..." Moira's brow furrowed as she counted on her fingers "i think thats...mid 50s?"
Moira grimaced at her math work before turning away from him. Jotaro watched as Moira took up to making a salad of some sort, while Jotaro was on temperature duty. He had to admit. He was having fun cooking, the music Moira had put on making the time go by fast. Jotaro turned, and watched Moira.
She swayed her hips and tapped her foot, singing along to one of her favorites. He reconized it, given she belted it out everytime it came on in the car. She even went so far as to name her stand after the title. Her hair, no longer in its braid, sat on top of her head in a top knot that bounced with her movement. Her voice carried to every corner of the room as she sung along.
"OW FUCK!"
Moira dropped her knife, her hand pulling back quickly as she doubled over in shock. She stood, waving her hand as if burnt before examining it. Jotaro could see a small but deep cut on her fingertip. He grabed a towel and handed it to her.
"Thanks," Moira put the towl around her finger gently, hissing at the contact. Jotaro rolled his eyes, taking her wrist in his hand and pulling it close.
"Stop being a baby" he snarks, grabbing the towel and wrapping it around Moira's hand and applying pressure. She grimaces but takes it in stride.
"Im not a baby."
"Youre a bit of a baby"
Moira just pouted up at him but said nothing. Jotaro removed the bloodied towel to look closer at her finger. Her hand was so much smaller than his. Her fingers were covered with callouses and her palm was soft. Jotaro's thumb pressed in the center of it, her fingers splaying on reflex. The cut itself didnt look too bad, just shy of needing stitches.
Jotaro looked up from Moira's hand only to find hus face inches away from hers. It was very suddenly all too hot and his heart had found a spot in his throat to thump uncomfortably. He blinked dumbly, trying to force himself to pull away.
Jotaro couldnt take his eyes away from Moira's. Watching every tiny expression she made. Her lips parted gently and Jotaro was suddenly hit with the realization that his nose was nearly touching hers. He could smell her cheap peach purfume and see the tiny freckles that had begun to litter her face.
Moira's eyes darted down, just barely. Her brows furrowing slightly. Jotaro could hardly breathe at this point, nervousness churning his stomach as his eyes slid closed. What on earth was he doing?
His heart hammered in his chest, and he knew Moira could hear it. He wondered if hers was racing too.
The pair gasped and jumped away when a timer went off. Moira leaning over to look around Jotaro at the thermometer she gad set earlier.
"Oh...uh..I'll get everything else handled. Why dont you go tell everyone else dinner is ready in 10?" Moira suggested, taking a quick step back from Jotaro. A hot blush rising to her cheeks. She pointedly avoided his gaze
Jotaro pulled his hat low over his eyes.
"Sure"

Disney Princess Metaphors Galore
Tumblr media
It’s been over a year since I picked up a King novel. Over the course of that year, I sat with Sleeping Beauties on my coffee table, bookmark neatly tucked in at around the 200 page mark, daring me to pick it up, mocking me as I didn’t. 
Sleeping Beauties was a slog, to put it nicely. I didn’t dislike it per-se, but having to literally force yourself to pick up a book after a year on the sidelines is never a great start. 
Co-penned by King and his son Owen, this novel has all the fixings for a strong King. We’ve got a small town. They’re isolated. There’s lots of characters of varying degrees of badness. A mysterious illness and force has infiltrated this small town and shit goes sideways. If these fixings of dough, sauce, meat and cheese came together to make a pizza in The Stand and Under The Dome, in Sleeping Beauties, these ingredients make a calzone. Not bad, just not pizza. And unless you’re Ben Wyatt, pizza is better than a calzone.
Tumblr media
I’m on a diet, can you tell?
Alright, let’s get into it. Steve and Owen decided to write a novel together, which is fun if your dad is Stephen King. I believe it was the pretty standard collab of “I write some then your write some”, rinse and repeat until there’s over 700 pages for The Constant Reader. The cast of players is bulleted out on the pages before you get started, and man, is the list long. Really only 4 or 5 folks are of any consequence to the story though, which is a great example of calzone-not-pizza happening here.
So women across the world are falling asleep and once they are out, their faces and bodies grow cocoons. They’re still breathing and seem fine, just catching some ZZ’s. The unidentified growth is nicknamed Aurora, for the titular character in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. We know we’re in a King story though, because these gals don’t need a prince’s kiss. In fact, if you tear open their sheaths, they will literally bite your head off. Many men die early trying to awake their maidens, not realizing they are in an episode of The Walking Dead, not in a 50s cartoon.
It’s not an uninteresting premise, and I do understand where they were going with it. It’s a gender study for the 21st century, using metaphor after metaphor from women’s movements over the centuries. I get it. Perhaps I am struggling because it was written by two men. Side question; what does Naomi King do? The rest of the family are all writers; I might feel better if she wrote this with her dad. Mental note to google her.
Because in Sleeping Beauties, men BAD, women GOOD. As a staunch feminist, this shouldn’t bother me? It does. I feel like Steve and Owen swung the pendulum too far in favor of the female sex. Listen, I am one. We’re not always a walk in the park. Just sayin.
The women are primarily pretty saintly here. The town sheriff, Lila, stays awake as long as she can, protecting her town, as do other female policewomen, mothers and prison guards. Cause yes, our little town is home to, of all things, a women’s prison. 
As women fall asleep, the world erupts into pure chaos. This I believe. Men riot, burn shit, there’s rumors of nuclear explosions, the whole 9 yards. It takes like literally 48 hours for the world to go to hell in a hand basket. Who’s going to cook food and wash laundry?? Better storm the Capital. (The irony of Jan 6th happening after this book was written is not lost on me).
Lila’s husband Clint is the least-worst of all the dudes. The on-staff shrink at the prison, he is trying to keep the prison from erupting into chaos (spoiler it doesn’t, because its a women’s prison, and women GOOD) and keeping an eye on their new prisoner, Eve, who, after killing 2 meth heads (men), is sent to a holding cell. Here Eve sleeps without cocooning, and talks to rats, and sometimes hundreds of moths fly out her mouth? Cool.
Aside from Clint, there are some real shitheads here. Men who burn their wives, men who try to rape cocooned women, men who make jokes like “What is this, the worlds worst PMS?” and say shit like “women are either sluts or frigid”. Cool. I’m not gunna talk about any of the supporting players of douchery, because for the most part they end up dead. Men BAD.
About halfway through, we learn when the women sleep in our world, they have awoken in some kind of bizarro-world. It’s their town of Dooling, but time is different (faster) and it’s pretty post apocalyptic. But because women GOOD, they console each other, consider their circumstances together, and then get the fuck to work. While only a few days have passed in the real world, in Women’s World months pass. The women rebuild society together, with very few obstacles to overcome. I mean in theory, if you told me I could go to sleep and awaken in a women’s-only Upside Down, I’d be very tempted to escape there. But I don’t think I’d expect a utopia. I mean I’ve watched the first season of Yellowjackets at least 3 times now; I’m not sure it would be so easy.
Women’s World just seems too easy. Sure it’s post-apocalyptic there, but there’s vegetables, roaming deer, and at least the remains of an infrastructure for the women to start from. They get the electric going thanks to solar panels, water flowing again thanks to a broken down but fixable water plant, stuff like that. The obstacles are small in Women’s World, for example, they have very bad coffee there. I would never survive. But the women thrive without men. Men decidedly do not thrive without women. The most literal extreme in both places.
Eve is the puppet pulling the strings here, and the story is much more interesting when she is around. Unfortunately she’s not around enough for my liking. And while she survives act 3’s assault, she loses her cause when the women of Dooling choose to return to the real world, leaving behind utopia for the boys back at home.
The final chapter or two are ultimately the most interesting. The women have returned and life is “back to normal” although nothing is normal ever again. Have women regained the upper hand, knowing that the globe’s male population now understands their importance? Seemingly hopeful ending? My cynical self says give it a generation or two and Eve may be back to try her experiment again.
If anything, this book left me pondering not its outcome, but reminding me that I am due for a rewatch of The Leftovers.
6/10
First Line: Ree asked Jeanette if she ever watched the square of light from the window.
Last Line: A moth flutters from the branch of the old oak tree and settles on her hand.
Adaptations:
There has been a part or two of a comic adaptation released. AMC owns the TV rights, purchased in 2019, although I couldn’t find any movement on an actual pilot. In COVID and #MeToo times, I would think this gender based plague-esque story would be ripe for picking, but per usual, no one asked my opinion. 
More Holly Gibbney next in The Outsider, and an HBO series I’ve been sitting on for two and a half years. Yay!

The 95% verdict 💌 + commentary
since it’s 9/5, this will be the perfect opportunity to share some more details on the whole 95% story. @potteresque-ire already detailed it here but i wanna focus on the actual verdict. It’s so interesting how most of it sounds true, and the fact that this was shared back in 2018 when no one had any behind the scenes photos, videos or interviews to reference.
Tumblr media
I am not really a 100% believer in stuff like this but I have to admit that sometimes it has some truth to it. It’s not hurting anyone either to read what these people have to say and get some direction / insight into things.
Here goes the details of that reading between ZZ/WYB 😌 It’s not just the 95% calculation, there was a whole reading between them.
There is light, harmony, and joy in this relationship, and both parties benefit from it. The comfort of the soul is very conducive to the development of intimate relationships. You may not want to please each other freely, enjoy each other's company, but deep inside have a deep love for each other. If you live together, you will often have good family atmosphere, with both comfort and beauty. They satisfy each other, need each other, depend on each other and can be happy because of each other's existence.
As soon as I read this first part, I knew I had to make a CPN post. The thing about both parties benefiting is so true! Never mind what haters say that they “use each other” ( lol. I mean it’s partly right but without the negative connotation ) They really do benefit from being together, even as friends, they both bring out the best in e/o. Also the part about having a deep love even if they don’t show it sounds so much like 2018 ZZ/WYB. All the play fights and interactions we saw that make us roll our eyes cause they keep dancing around the fact that they are meant to be together. Finally, that bit about their home life. Ugh. I love domestic ZZ/WYB, and I’ve talked about that here. From cooking/washing to folding clothes and everything in between.
Tumblr media
This may be a romantic experience that is called “at first sight”. The possibility of love also means that you may establish a relationship like lightning. You may meet in some unusual situations or situations with strong the feeling of electric shock. It may be a time that makes each other highly excited and your relationship may also be unconventional or unusual. Yes, the way of getting along is often not the usual way, Xiao Zhan will be satisfied with Wang Yibo. The passion, freedom and new world brought by Bo have gained a lot from each other. You are also suitable for developing some unusual hobbies, such as astrology, science, occultism, ultra-modern art, etc. In addition, the more independent your minds are in this relationship, the higher the rapport will be, both can develop into like-minded good partners.
The whole at first sight prediction is giving me goosebumps. Only because this is what a lot of us have said. granted, they met in 2017 so the person making this reading might have taken some clue into that. However, this line : Xiao Zhan will be satisfied with Wang Yibo. Wait, satisfied? Satisfaction. Isn’t that ZZ’s solo song? How come. This reading was made 9/1/2018 and that song name wasn’t even out yet. Also the way it says ZZ will be the one satisfied and not the other way around. I also wanna know what unusual habits they developed because of their relationship. 🙃
There is a strong attraction between you, and even a sense of fate. Xiao Zhan - The appearance of Wang Yibo made him passionate, profound and full of desire. However, the relationship between you may not necessarily have too much relaxation, romance and comfort. pleasure, and more emphasis on strong emotions, complex experiences, overly obsessive— even a certain danger because of the fear of betrayal. In this relationship, Xiao Zhan needs to look directly at his inner demands, learn to give Wang Yibo trust and give himself a sense of security, otherwise it will be easy to have the feeling of being controlled and dominated by Wang Yibo. Maybe when love is too deep, it feels like that life is in the hands of the other party, I am even more afraid of being hurt. please remember, only trust can save the relationship from crisis and realize new life. If it is business partnership, when trust is established, you will dig out the hidden wealth and achieve win-win benefits.
and now we have come to a bit more controversial part of the reading. Do I believe that ZZ/WYB’s relationship is full of sunshine and rainbows? Of course not. I can only imagine what it must be like for them in the beginning. The uncertainty of it. Strong attraction? Fate? Definitely. and oh I love the bit here about Bobo making ZZ passionate. Yes. He definitely had that change in him when he met the gremlin and especially when they are together. Remember that this is only a reading, what is said about ZZ is here and the advice is not a fact. I wanna believe over time, as in any other relationships, they have found a balance that works for them.
Tumblr media
The highlight of this relationship is the connection and communication that you have. In the future, Xiao Zhan can intuitively understand Wang Yibo's thoughts and intentions and produce greater emotional fluctuations. Wang Yibo is very willing to put his thoughts and express it clearly to Xiao Zhan and give Xiao Zhan good advice. In a sentence: It is not uncommon to meet love and sex in life, but the strange thing is encounter understanding.
I like this part because it talks about the future and how their relationship became what it is today. Well, as soon the 2019 promos we can already see this understanding between them. The intuitive way they communicate. This is scarily accurate. I also like how WYB is supposedly expressing himself clearly to ZZ — knowing how WYB is most of the time, quiet, it makes me somft thinking he made the effort because he wants to reach an understanding with his zhan ge.
It can be said that meeting TA is the most comfortable way to get along and the most gentle companion. Xiao Zhan will feel full of joy, the feeling of being appreciated and accepted,Also enjoy the way Wang Yibo sees himself. Wang Yibo speaks from the heart. I love Xiao Zhan's way of doing things and behavior, never stingy with his own compliment. The two can be more considerate, tolerant, and respectful to each other. Live in harmony, enjoy the intimacy and sharing with each other.
When it comes to emotional patterns, you have strong similarities. This includes similarities in psychological feelings and emotional fluctuations, the inner need for a sense of security. Together, we can always understand each other's thoughts. The needs of the other party, full of deep tacit understanding and dependence, can do spiritual communication. It is very beneficial to a long-lasting, stable relationship.
A stable relationship. BXGs like to say this when it comes to them and I wanna believe that this is true. It does not mean they don’t have problems — they do, but they work it out. You can feel the sense of calm in when you watch them and that happiness. It affects and shows in everything they do. I hope it continues and they can live peacefully. 😊
Tumblr media
Again, this is not an avenue to aggressively speculate about their relationship/dynamics. The purpose of this post is to share more of the 95% story and why it’s such a popular part of fandom history.
- END.
