“girls support girls” no. girls protect girls. I could hate a girl to death and I still wouldn’t take my eyes off her drink at a party, I could hate her like she was the devil but still I wouldn’t make her go back to a man that was beating her.
My new ship! Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing!
Like, trying to say kind stuffs but with smirk🤌🏻
finally got some time to finish these guys up! which is sort of ironic considering I started these because I wanted to draw Malleus with a Dragapult, and then I just didn't for a million years!
Malleus has the aforementioned Dragapult, except it's a super special non-canon color Dragapult (like an anime-only form that you could get in-game exclusively through some limited-time event where you have to show up in-person at a specific location in Japan) (it has some wacky overpowered exclusive move/form and the OT is listed as Malleus) (so like that kind of ridiculous specialness) (Leona is extremely salty about this). also hoards and hoards of Dreepy. Dreepy LOVE Malleus. they take naps on his horns inbetween begging him to throw them across the island at mach speeds.
Lilia has a Drampa and a bunch of Woobat that he hasn't actually caught, they just follow him around in swarms because they sense a kinship with him. (also breaking my own rule again to say that he had a Mawile in the past, because...I just really wanted to give him a Mawile...)
Sebek has Sandile for obvious reasons, and also a Pikachu that bullies him relentlessly. :(
Silver has a shiny Corvisquire; I really went back-and-forth on also giving him an Aegislash, but...hm. those pokedex entries though. he can stick with just one for now.
(I hadn't planned on the shiny for him, but after I'd decided on the Corvisquire line and was looking it up for reference, I realized that shiny Rookidee is gold and then turns silver when it evolves and I lost my entire goddamn mind)
Lan jingyi speaking the unwritten rules
i like that Wei Wuxian never has some big epiphany moment about being in love with Lan Wangji. even though he’s in complete denial pre-death, that’s also partly because he always feels like Lan Wangji doesn’t actually like him a whole lot and because there are more pressing matters to worry about. but post-resurrection, his feelings develop slowly and he just kinda quietly accepts them at face value. (except for occasionally wondering if being ritually summoned into a gay man’s body is what made him gay, which is hilarious.)
but at the same time, he starts getting increasingly concerned about getting Lan Wangji dirty, in the literal sense of getting blood and dirt on his clothing, which is clearly a projection of his worry that being associated with him in any intimate sense will taint Lan Wangji’s reputation and somehow hurt him spiritually/mentally/emotionally as well. he projects so much disgust and shame onto Lan Wangji, it’s kinda painful. and at the same time and for the same reasons, he keeps almost willfully misinterpreting every intentional or unintentional display of affection that Lan Wangji demonstrates bc we accept the love we think we deserve etc.
so he goes from like “i am totally straight tralala! and i’m gonna try my hardest to embarrass Lan Wangji in any conceivable way.” to “of course i’m gay for Lan Zhan, but he’s a god amongst men so how dare i even consider the possibility that he might feel the same way.” but that transition feels totally natural.
and then he prays to his ancestors like “yo, can you please help me snag this man? i wanna smash it so bad!” what a fucking mess.
MC: If the gargoyles in Noble Bell College are alive...
MC: Does that mean that the gargoyles we have here are corpses?
Malleus: ...
Ace: Prefect, sometimes, you just need to keep things to yourself.
AU where there's no system (or a decidedly less restrictive one) and Shen Yuan transmigrates into an OC rogue cultivator before the start of the novel, and decides he's gonna steal the protagonist before Luo Binghe even gets to Cang Qiong.
The logic is sound -- he'll keep Luo Binghe from experiencing neglect and abuse at Shen Qingqiu's hands, raise him away from the pressure of the sects and the likelihood that anyone else might find out about his heritage and try to harm him over it, keep him fully away from the Immortal Alliance Conference, and then Luo Binghe's course will change trajectory because he'll have no reason to want revenge against the world and no access to Xin Mo. Shen Yuan will be able to spare Luo Binghe some suffering and possibly survive in a world less subject to the harrowing whims of a half-mad tyrannical overlord. Win-win!
However, the tricky bit is that he's not sure exactly how far ahead of the novel he is, and also Airplane didn't specify where Luo Binghe grew up. This means that Luo Binghe could be any age younger than twelve and in any number of places along or near to the Luo river.
Shen Yuan decides he's going to approach this by pretending he is looking for the long-lost son of his sister, traveling through the likeliest areas, asking after abandoned children who might fit the protagonist's description. It's a long shot, he knows, and he's mostly relying on the existence of Narrative Destiny. But eventually he is directed by several people towards a particular city, which is not as close to the river as he'd have expected Luo Binghe to grow up, but then again he only knows that was where baby Binghe was found, not where the washerwoman who took him in ultimately lived.
It becomes clear to him, though, that he's been sent to the wrong target. But also why he's been sent astray is apparent in nearly the same breath, because among the slave children living in this area is a little boy who could be his much younger clone.
Okay I take it back the actual funniest thing about how many people performatively hate on scum villain because they think it’s bad and trashy and irredeemable and Problematic is that they are unwittingly re-enacting an almost perfect impression of the main character, a young terminally online guy who hate read a trashy porn novel and got in so many internet fights about how bad and irredeemable and garbage it was that he died choking on his rage and was transported to suffer the role of expendable backstory villain in the world of this trashy porn novel he hated so much.
And that’s fucking hilarious.
the gangs all together! finally finished the mxtx go for it set 💜✨
hands!
Shen Qingqiu and Shang Qinghua have an ongoing joke about Shen Qingqiu needing his permission to wed Binghe, since he is his 'child'. Shang Qinghua always whines about how if Shen Qingqiu keeps bullying him, he'll retract his blessing to marry his son, and Cucumber just rolls his eyes and smacks him over the head with his fan.
Luo Binghe wants to know who Shen Qingqiu is getting married to. Mobei-jun wants to know since when did Shang Qinghua have a son.
JiuYuan for the soul🤲🏻💖
Liu Mingyan is wild. She wrote RPF about her brother’s crush getting it on with her brother’s nemesis, made it a multipart series, and started a book club for it. Family is nothing compared to her OTP.
Fics where Bingge gets his own Shen Yuan are always a delight, but I do wish more of them let Shen Yuan dote on Bingge’s children!
I’d love a story where Shen Yuan somehow ended up in the role of ‘Head Imperial Tutor’ and became the children’s beloved teacher and fiercest protector.
Whatever harem drama, rebellions, or other nonsense is going on, he observes with only mild interest (plus much internal eye rolling, and maybe a little gushing over Binghe) but if anyone dares target his students he utterly destroys them.
Sometime after the Bingge vs. Bingmei extra (perhaps after Shen Yuan eliminates some threat to the children), Binghe actually notices Shen Yuan and just how closely his behavior mirrors the nice Shizun.
He’s a very gentle and attentive teacher, tailoring lessons to each child’s learning style, comforting them when the drama between their mothers causes them distress, and freely granting affectionate head pats and light fan bops.
Binghe fighting with his own kids for attention from his world’s kind Shizun, while juggling with Shen Yuan’s obliviousness, and the fact he must be careful never to seriously upset the kids (or he will face Shen Yuan’s wrath), just has so much comedy and cuteness potential!
In the end, Bingge not only falls for Shen Yuan, but comes to more fully love and care for his own kiddos too.
