#[mun messed up...]

[filialdisciple]

Hi, Tin! I love your writing and I have a prompt for you, if you are interested) what if Tang family is too afraid of Tang Bo leaving permanently and eloping with Cheong Myeong? So they initiate marriage negotiations with Mount Hua. It can be angst (CM is socially isolated and insecure about his position) or romantic comedy (awkward situations and protective Cheong Mun), up to you). Thank you in advance!

It was a well-established fact that the Dark Saint of the Tang Family was one of their generation's best.

So it came as no surprise when an influx of marriage proposals flooded their family's estate—because rumors started flying around that the Dark Saint was in search of a partner.

The Dark Saint held a reputation for being cold and ruthless. To cultivators and martial artists, he was someone they feared making into an enemy due to his sheer battle prowess and poisonous abilities. To normal civilians, he was a genius who wielded the Tang Family's techniques with cool precision and intent; to them, he was just another mysterious cultivator that they would only ever know of through gossip and stories.

However, in recent years, something shifted. His reputation among common folk was slowly altered. It started off with a supposed battle between him and the Plum Blossom Sword Saint which turned into a sudden and unexpected friendship.

Whereas in the past the Dark Saint would only go around Sichuan and closeby villages, he was now found going around different major cities and unknown ones.

He was often in the company of Mount Hua's Plum Blossom Sword Saint, who worked with him side-by-side to eradicate groups from the Demonic Cult and the occasional bandits and thieves.

For supposed Taoists, the two visited different establishments to drink alcohol and talk cheerily. It was during one of these moments that the first rumor began its spark.

"Ahhhh," The Plum Blossom Sword Saint groans in satisfaction. "That sure hits the spot!"

The Dark Saint chuckles as he tosses back his own drink. "If only I could enjoy everyday like this. Alcohol really is the best."

"What would your future wife think?" The Plum Blossom Sword Saint jokingly and dramatically shakes his head in disappointment. "To have a husband who loves alcohol more than his own wife...!"

The Dark Saint wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. "Trust me, I would make sure that my wife knows full-well just how much I love them."

The two of them share a silent, private conversation with just their eyes alone, that none of the other restaurant's customers could decipher, before they leave a generous tip and went on their way.

It snowballs from there.

All of a sudden gossip went around about the Dark Saint's interest in finding a wife. And so several people came to the same conclusion.

The reason why the Dark Saint is travelling around more than usual is because he's looking for a prospective wife.

Clearly, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint was there to provide moral support. How truly admirable and strong their brotherhood must be!

On the other hand, the head of the Tang Family was fully aware of their Dark Saint's single-minded interest in Mount Hua's Chung Myung.

Seeing all the stacks of letters that ranged from proposing strategic alliances and general marriage offers brought the current head of the Tang Family to a very different conclusion.

Tang Bo was trying to slowly draw himself away from their family by leaving their estate. He might be on the hunt, jumping from village to village, trying to create a dowry befitting for the hand of the Plum Blossom Sword Saint and scouting out all the best locations to settle down in.

It really wouldn't be too surprising of an idea if one day a letter turns up from the man with an intent of permanently moving to Mount Hua or some backwater village.

The Tang Family head shakes the thought of losing one of their best and genius members to one of the Ten Great Sects. If he wanted to maintain their family's reputation, he'll need to strike the first move.

And so he begins to pen a decisive letter to the Sect Leader of Mount Hua.

%%%

Chung Mun's hands tremble as reads the letter sent to him by the Tang Family.

'Who did they think they were?' He would have bit out if he had any less self-restraint. The paper crumples in his grip and he receives a questioning glance from Chung Myung who was sprawled eating mooncakes on the opposite side of his desk.

"What's got you so worked up?" The subject of the letter askswithout a care.

Chung Mun takes a deep breath. "The Tang Family wishes for you to transfer into their estate."

He refuses to say out loud the marriage proposal that came along with this request. His Chung Myung was too young! The man might be a sixty years old, but that round face, cheeks carelessly bulging with mooncakes with crumbs littered on his chin, screamed too young for marriage!

"Oh." Chung Myung nods in understanding.

Chung Mun is glad that Chung Myung agrees that this was nonsensical. To think, they thought that Chung Myung would even leave Mount Hua for—

"After the war is over, Tang Bo and I were planning to be roommates and travel the world a bit."

—?????

"Roommates?" Chung Mun's voices comes out slightly strangled.

"Yup. It's going to be great."

"No."

"'No'?"

Chung Mun tries to run through his previous conversations with Tang Bo. He knew that the man was capable of being underhanded, but he was also well-aware that Tang Bo respected him enough to not blind-side him with something like this. Especially since it concerned Chung Myung.

...

...Oh no.

"Fuck." Chung Mun says, full of feeling as he recalls Tang Bo off-handedly asking permission to live together with Chung Myung in the future.

"...Sect Leader?"

Chung Mun had thought that was a joke! He thought Tang Bo wasn't being serious! They were talking with alcohol in their systems!

The alarmed look that crosses Chung Myung's face informed Chung Mun that the way he felt his blood drain from his face was a visible, physical reaction.

"He asked for your hand in marriage." Chung Mun says faintly. "I said yes."

Chung Myung blinked at him. "Yeah? He told me?"

Okay. Tang Bo, to his credit, hasn't been leaving Chung Myung in the dark at least.

If Chung Myung knows and isn't reacting violently that means that he isn't completely against this. Even if Chung Mun was, he had to reorganize his priorties.

And his number one would be to make sure Chung Myung was happy.

((And to make sure that the Tang Family doesn't think they can step on Chung Mun and pull his little brother away.))

"I'll have to recheck the sect's budget and my own savings to make sure we have enough for the wedding preparations..." Chung Mun mutters as he begins drafting a response to the Tang Family with what he thought were better marriage agreement conditions.

But then, a flash of dread causes Chung Mun to pause writing and leave a dark ink blot on the paper. He suspected, but he really wishes that he was wrong—!

"Huh?" Chung Myung gives Chung Mun a confused look. "We already got married though?"

((....hey so what if I say Kotone was going to have a growth spurt by the time she'd be in high school but because she was involved with the accident and had Death sealed inside her for so long, it stunted her growth, making her stop growing by the time she did reach high school, or possibly earlier than that...))

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been able to feel someone near me. Even when I wasn’t looking. Now? It’s just a bit more fine tuned.

Besides, they say when one sense is hindered, the others tend to pick up the slack - and my hearing was always pretty good to begin with, heh.

[caliganxio]

so i think for now this will be the jist of leon's nth rework lol

things may change some when aqua is released bc i've very curious about that kind of melee kit from the start lol

if you read this pleeeeease feel free to tell me your thoughts or suggestions cause i'm always pondering this askdjsksj

also i may draw more at another time but we'll see lol

kit description under the cut!

- left arm: energies synthesized in the upper arm and stored in the lower arm. palm contains output including matrix allowing for simple constructs to be formed. right hand has a node that allows the constructs to be transferred so both hands can hold it. having one in both hands leads to max x output! generally takes form of sabers but can instead be shot in pieces as projectiles.

-- default is of course biotic healing energy.

- left wrist cuff can be turned like a dial to change to different energy (aka swap to secondary fire, damage).

- mist form: invulnerable and *very* quick for a short amount of time (shorter & quicker than reaper's wraith form but can climb walls)

- agility (sprint & parkour) is still passive

- over the course of battle, left arm also synthesizes a nonlethal toxin that disorients enemies and obscures which is deployed upon ult (Vaporize)

PERKS

- 1a. healing mist: mist form provides slight healing to allies/debuff to enemies (similar to ana's grenades) that pass through. maybe also clear conditions?

- 1b. guardian mist: forfeit usual mist form in favor of the ability to attach yourself to one targeted ally and provide a mist barrier that supplies some overhealth for the duration.

--

- 2a. death drawn: when damaging an enemy, draw some life from them to heal yourself and replenish supply.

- 2b. sacrificial shroud: dissolve right arm as a small cloud and use it as a semi-barrier, lessening the impact of incoming fire but doing some damage to yourself if depleted

My dad and I were chatting before bed when he said "damn shame Republicans hate Democrats too much because you almost saved the United Healthcare ceo"

And I stared at him in confusion until I remembered I convinced Democrats to write the active shooter alert system bill in 2022 & Republicans said no. Since my Twitter is gone, the thread of me @ everyone is gone. And when Trump got re-elected, I removed the video discussing the bill concept for public comments. It fully slipped my mind because I went from pulling teeth & being reluctantly patient to full on cussing, cursing, and hexing the government by the end of 2023.

I hope that Twitter DC staffer is having a good laugh- I bet their bosses are pissed wwwwww

I don't remember the exact wording I wrote to the White House when I cussed out Biden for funding war crimes (2023) & the bill itself (2022) but I did list consequences I foresaw that are happening now, so suck to suck if nobody listened & are on the receiving end of massive hexes

I guess my dad is right, the GOP technically killed Brian Thompson in 2022

//Speaking of Madoka fan works, I forgot the name of it, but wasn't there this one fan manga that took place in a timeskip and it focused on Mami? With all of them being adults, but Mami having like...no actual personal life besides Magical Girl duties compared to the others, and she tries to work around that, as a result?//

So.. I was yapping to my friend about LWYD and…

Sorry for so much stuff I may have a slight fixation on this fic (this was written from memory how the fuck did I do that)

Yeah idk I think about this AU all the time heheheh

//JFkdJKFSJkafjLJajfjjafjidfa

Like- Like the fact that people like my fic enough to be talking about it just lksajfsa Also I love "maximum pain is a genre of character" THAT'S APPARENTLY JUST MY GO-TO NOW. We don't half-hand out trauma here, no. We dump it on like the free cheese at Olive Garden

Solar will get his happy ending! He'll get to heal and work through his feelings and emotions! It'll just take time. Same with Lunar. And Poppy will make a comeback, just not in the way people probably expect.//
