My mdzs brainrot getting so big last night i had a dream where Jiang Cheng was trying to convince Wei Wuxiam to go back to Yummeng Jiang but WWX said he couldn't cause he had to watch the Wens and JC would never allow the Wens back at Yummeng, and JC was like " i won't allow any wens back in lotus piers, but my door is always open to my brother and his family/those he brings/those who walk with him (i don't really remember what he said tbh)" basically saying that if the Wens change their surname to Wei he'll let them in Lotus Pier. But Wei Wuxian is still not fully convinced so JC gets impatient and just goes "C'mon it's a good deal, i'll even make the brat my sucessor" AND POINTS TO A-YUAN WHO WAS THERE FOR SOME REASON???
I drew this but i'm afraid i'll never be fully able to explain how funny this interaction was lol. Like JC just goes full job-interview face to little A-yuan and says like "so what do you say? It's a really good job opportunity."
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#art#fanart#digital art#sketch#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#a yuan#like this ties into my aroace JC headcanons#cause i know he's somewhere in that spectrum#just can't decide where#this was like a really funny dream#wwx was desperate#and confused#mdzs canon divergence au?#so many aus now#my head needs to be stopped

packing it up
–hi! this is officially my first tumblr fic, i thought of this when listening to “packing it up” by gracie abrams (i’m actually so obsessed with that song) and thought it really fit jake. i would love some feedback if you stop by for a read :-) warnings: jake seresin x reader. straight fluff. maybe slight angst if you really squint and tilt your head. she/her pronouns used. no use of y/n. probably grammatical errors :/.
Summary: Jake Seresin had always been the kind of guy who kept everyone at arm’s length, no matter how cocky or confident he came off as. He’d learned the hard way that getting too close meant eventually getting hurt. But when you walked into his life, everything changed. Maybe it was fate, maybe it was timing, but one thing was certain: you happened when he needed it the most.
Jake “Hangman” Seresin had always been fine on his own. Hell, he preferred it that way. He had his wings, his crew, and the endless rush of being a Top Gun pilot. It wasn’t that he didn’t want something more—it was just that life had a way of showing him that when things were going right, something was bound to go wrong.
So he kept his distance. He kept things casual, whether it was with women or friends. There was no need to get too attached when it always ended leaving him with nothing but disappointment.
But then you happened.
Jake didn’t believe in fate, not really. He’d always chalked up the little moments in life to coincidence, never willing to put too much stock into anything that couldn’t be explained by logic and reason. But the first time he saw you, that stubborn, independent look in your eyes as you stood sticking out like a sore thumb at the Hard Deck, he knew something had shifted.
You weren’t like the others. You didn’t need to impress anyone, didn’t care about what others thought of you. You were grounded, real. And that had unsettled him more than he cared to admit. You made him question everything he thought he knew about himself.
It had started slowly. “Accidentally” running into you on his way to the jukebox to play the same song for the third time that night (really just to be near you and the girlfriend you were with), the way you didn’t let him get away with his usual one-liners when he offered to buy you a drink. At first, Jake tried to keep it friendly, and nothing more. You were a civilian. His lifestyle was chaotic, unpredictable. He couldn’t promise you anything, and he sure as hell wasn’t going to pretend he could.
But every time you smiled, every time your eyes sparkled with something that wasn’t pity or curiosity, he felt his walls crumble just a little more. You didn’t need him to be perfect. You didn’t want him to fix his shit or his cocky behavior. You just wanted him.
And that scared the hell out of him.
It was a week before he was set out for a month-long mission. He had spent nights staring at the ceiling of his room, wondering what it would feel like to be somewhere stable, maybe even back in Texas. To be somewhere that didn’t cause the slightest of fear to bubble up. To be with someone who didn’t see him as just a flight suit or a handsome pilot.
That was when you called.
He picked up on the first ring, having a specific ringtone just for you, but he swore to himself that it was just a friendly thing to do. Nothing more.
“I was thinking about you,” you said, your voice familiar and warm, like a comfort he hadn’t realized he needed. “I thought maybe… you could come by? If you have the time before you leave?”
Jake hesitated. The thing with you was that you didn’t make demands. You didn’t chase. But he could hear it in your voice—an uncertainty that he’s never gotten from you. It made him pause.
And for the first time in months, Jake felt like he wasn’t running from something. He was running toward it.
He showed up, not because you asked, but because he needed to know what it felt like to have someone who cared. Someone who saw him for who he was underneath the persona he sometimes had a hard time losing.
That night, you had sat by the sand close to the Hard Deck. A place that had become common ground for the two of you. The air was cool, a slight breeze blanketing the two of you. Jake had never felt more at peace, and it terrified him. You were sitting so close, your shoulders brushing, but you weren’t rushing him. You didn’t pressure him to talk about the things he didn’t want to, and you didn’t pry into the past he so carefully guarded.
It wasn’t until you laughed at something he said—genuine and unforced—that something inside him broke. The walls. The distance. The shields he’d carried for so long.
“I wasn’t looking for anything,” Jake admitted suddenly, his voice low. “I didn’t want anything. I thought I was better off alone.”
You tilted your head, looking at him with those understanding, yet curious, eyes. “And now?”
“Now,” Jake whispered, his heart racing for reasons he couldn’t explain, “I don’t think I want to be alone anymore.”
Things changed after that night. It wasn’t instant; it was slow, careful, like testing the water before jumping in. He wasn’t used to that. Jake didn’t do vulnerability, and you didn’t demand it. But with every conversation, every shared moment, you both let your guard down just a little more.
There were nights when Jake would wake up in the middle of the night, startled, only to find you lying next to him, breathing softly, looking so peaceful that it almost felt like a dream. It was new for him, having someone so close to him, a feeling that he wasn’t sure he was ready for. One that he found himself craving all the same.
One night, as the sun dipped low in the sky, the two of you found yourselves at the Hard Deck, one of the rare nights that the rest of the Dagger Squad wasn’t accompanying the two of you. It was quieter than usual.
Jake looked over at you, your laughter filling the space between the songs. There was a moment of stillness, a pause where he realized just how much he needed this. He needed you.
He was so damn close to packing it up and walking away from everything just to protect himself from the mess he was making, but then… you happened.
“I swear I wasn’t looking for someone,” Jake muttered under his breath, and you tilted your head, giving him that soft smile that made everything feel right.
“I wasn’t either,” you replied, taking his hand in yours, your fingers lacing together with a familiarity that made his chest ache.
“I’m glad we found each other anyway,” Jake said, his voice thick with the emotion he couldn’t quite put into words.
You leaned in closer, resting your head on his shoulder as the warmth of the bar surrounded you both. For once, Jake didn’t feel the need to run. He didn’t need to pretend. You were right there with him, steady and real, and that was enough.
“I hope we get everything we could ask for,” you whispered, your voice barely audible over the hum of the room. “Even if it’s just… this. Right here.”
Jake smiled, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. “I think we’re already there.”
And for the first time in a long time, Jake Seresin felt like he was finally home.
i hope you loved reading this as much as I loved writing it! it was a bit tricky for me at first, but I think I really love the way it came out! feedback always appreciated!

Really fascinating to see this morning flying out of [major us airport] that there were numerous étoile ads up. Amazon is still paying to promote it even after canceling it? And it's up for awards which makes it even weirder to cancel now

The great thing about discovering media and a fandom over a decade after the Thing is done is that you get to learn about all the unhinged drama and poor marketing decisions safe from the cradle of the future and go "wait they did WHAT" while you stuff more popcorn in your mouth and choke on it a little from laughing so hard
#mass effect#they really made some wild decisions back in the day huh#commemorative statue of WHAT#they got mad bout a camera angle???#im so entertained#and confused#please tell me more

sleep deprived Bruce mixing up his different personalities. accidentally Dadding™ the wayne enterprises board at a meeting. flirting and throwing ass at the justice league meeting Brucie style. whipping out the matches scowl at family dinner. saying something intelligent during an interview.
