A procession of confessions.

Random musings about an episode where Spectra disguised herself as a student, rather than a counselor to sow misery within the high school! Spreading gossip, being outright malicious, shattering friendships, and all that jazz! Plus, using that fact she looks like a teen against Danny, since unless cornering her, he couldn't fight her without looking like he's attacking a random student.

Of all the missed opportunities with Gongyi Xiao (of which there are many, why would you do that to my boy), I think the one I pine over most is that open and available invitation to Qing Jing Peak.

Because, if timed right, the possibilities are fucking hilarious.

You’re Gongyi Xiao. Your pride has taken a little bit of a hit after the Immortal Alliance Conference both because everyone expected you to place first (and you didn’t) and your teacher got so distracted by the one who did place first that you’ve felt a little… neglected. But you’re a nice person, and the conference ended with the deaths of so many of your shidi and shimei that you let the petty concerns roll off your back.

Except then the guy who pulled the upset at the conference shows up at your sect and pulls an upset on every other aspect of your life. The girl you like and who you thought liked you has heart eyes for him only, your teacher is definitely putting you on the backburner to the point of handing this guy most of your responsibilities (and he’s killing it, he’s doing amazing, it’s the conference all over again), and everyone else in the sect seems to prefer him to you. No one’s cruel about it, and they’re still listening to you - mostly. Most of the time. But you have the sinking suspicion that if it came to an actual disagreement between the two of you, you know who’d end up on top. Plus he looks just like you, except hotter. Maybe that’s not the kind of thing a guy like Gongyi Xiao outright perceives but there’s a vibe. The vibe of inadequacy.

(And because you’re Gongyi Xiao and a good person, you don’t have the kind of suspicion in your heart to start looking for ulterior motives or conniving plots - but even if you did, what would you find? The guy who is looking more and more like your replacement came to the sect injured. He looks sadly and deeply into the distance every time his original sect or shizun are mentioned. He’s polite. He’s talented. What are you supposed to say, that he survived unexpected disaster at the conference only to hatch some sort of hostile takeover plot in the meantime? Who would believe that.)

So, maybe it’s time to step back. Clear your head. Shake off the ridiculous and unfair jealousy, and give both yourself and Luo Binghe some space. What better time to take Shen Qingqiu up on his offer to visit Qing Jing? You can’t stop what’s happening regardless, so maybe it would be better not to be there while someone else swoops in and steals your whole life. (And maybe, tucked away deep in a not-so-good-of-a-person-after-all corner of your heart, there’s the possibility of slipping a few hints to Shen Qingqiu that his disciple is alive and well at another sect. Purely because Shen Qingqiu deserves not to mourn for someone still alive, and not at all for the sliver of hope that he’ll take the disciple he misses so much back so you can go back to the way things used to be.)

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to anyone else and especially not Gongyi Xiao, Luo Binghe is losing his mind. He had a plan. He was establishing himself. He was moving slowly and carefully so as not to startle Shizun, and this guy gets an invitation? Just, welcomed right in, specially, by Luo Binghe’s teacher? What did he do to deserve that? Is Shen Qingqiu going to poach Gongyi Xiao? As his replacement? So he can have a squeaky clean, good, human disciple like he wanted? Luo Binghe is better than him. He proved it at the conference. He proved it before the conference. He’ll prove it again if he has to. (He’s more attractive than Gongyi Xiao, too, and Shizun can hardly fail to notice if they’re side by side in front of him, so there.)

The Old Palace Master is using every trick in his arsenal to keep Luo Binghe from following right behind Gongyi Xiao while cursing Shen Qingqiu under his breath and frantically moving plans around to push up the date for the peak lord’s fall from grace, Luo Binghe is packing his bags furiously and tearing his own plans to shreds in the wake of his determination to prove himself absolutely irreplaceable, and Gongyi Xiao is enjoying a nice cup of tea and personal tutoring from Shen Qingqiu while making increasingly pointed comments about how sometimes missing-and-presumed-dead disciples just… pop up somewhere, at random, a few years after the fact.

Shen Qingqiu is blissfully (miserably) unaware of the chaos about to descend upon his peak.

wada recognised everything was unintentional, he didn’t receive any benefit from it and it was his team’s fault. and yet under the current rules he’s responsible for his team and he gets banned anyway while his old trainer is already back working with another player like nothing ever happened. and he gets his name dragged through the mud and insulted by people online who don’t have the brain capacity to understand full sentences, for something that WONT EVEN BE CONSIDERED PUNISHABLE under the new set of rules that will take place in the future.

i like to think of a lot of the guards on Coruscant having this running gag where they make up cartoonishly evil things Fox does and bring it up to him out of nowhere as if it's casual fact, typically around newer guardsmen or GAR troopers that barely interact with him if at all. Fox doesn't really care about any of this and ignores the jokes, but does occasionally worry that certain high ranking people are just constantly hearing about him doing things like drinking the blood of widowed women in order to slow his aging, or that he survives off of nightmares he gives his men by hiding under their bunks and making scary noises.

"Oh, you foolish filly... Prince Blueblood is Royalty. You're just a commoner... that's something no desperate bid to trap him is going to change. I think you've overstayed your welcome. I won't let you ruin his life. Go home."

No, no he doesn't. Madame Cinch made sure of that. Made sure that Ditzy wouldn't want to tell him either, putting all those doubts in her head - Ditzy thinks that it might be best to let sleeping Diamond Dogs lie and just raise Dinky herself.

And if you can believe it Cinch genuinely thinks she did the right thing.

She's not losing another of her charges.

Luke being Percy’s bi awakening is starting to make more and more sense cause why did Percy compare every attractive man he met to him 😭

He met Apollo and Hermes, two very attractive gods and went “You know who you look like! Luke Castellan!”

He was missing his memories, homeless, didn’t even KNOW who Luke was and when he met Octavian he was like “mhm, your a kinda cute pale white boy with blonde hair. Wait! You remind me of someone…”

Like Percy idk man maybe all that hate for Luke stems from somewhere else

‘the black bastard of the wall’ moniker is the exact opposite of the ‘white wolf’ moniker and this perfectly highlights the irreconcilable differences between book Jon and show Jon

the first time monoma sees bakugo after the war he straight up bursts into tears in relief but he is so embarrassed about it that he tells bakugo it's because his face is ugly enough to make any reasonable person cry

Tenna is a washed up old celebrity game show host from the 80's who is desperately trying to stay energetic and entertaining and appear young and hot while he is very much not young anymore and is in fact deeply depressed. What I'm saying is the man absolutely does cocaine. Or like.... carpet dust I guess since darkworld. Whatever. He's not doing well

So what if Fazbear Frights opened in the 90s... WELCOME BACK DAVE MILLER-

while i think every god deserves a good ol’-fashioned “what if they snapped instead of inspekta” AU, i think the reason i have a hard time buying most villain!thespius scenarios is bc i haven’t seen, like. Any that have offered a convincing explanation as to Why he would go down the villain route. usually they default to either “idk i just thought he would look cool” (respectable but generally i crave something a little meatier when it comes to AUs) or “idk maybe he waited too long for click clack and got emo about it” (we’ve already seen what he looks like when he’s emo about it - he doesn’t become a murderous Nice Guy™️, he mopes and writes more plays)

HOWEVER

thespius in-game is kind of hesitant to rock the boat irl despite pushing boundaries with his art, right? how many celebrities can you think of who ended up crashing out and making themselves as unpalatable as possible because they were too nice to say no? to predatory business deals, to pushy fans who insist they know their fave better than they know themselves, to doomed collabs, etc.? because i can think of Quite A Few.

just some food for thought!

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

Zoro calling Sanji a moron and Sanji telling other people Zoro is a softie...

Anthony doesn't get enough flack from this fandom if I'm being honest, like most of it is pushed onto other female characters while he gets the "he was struggling," excuse. And while he was struggling, there's definitely validity to that, he also should not have his actions (eg. playing with Kate's feelings, putting her and Edwina in a difficult situation, etc) excused because of that.
