they were back in time, all three of them - lan wangji, lan qiren and wei wuxian. it was as smoothly as it could be, waking up as if from a very realistic dream instead of something dramatic as wei wuxian suggested such as fainting in the middle of doing chores.

they had discussed what they had to do and the rules they meant to follow so it wouldn't change too much of the past-now-present again.

"try to act as much as you were when this age." lan qiren said.

it was the middle of the gusu classes and lan qiren was getting ready to travel to qinghe for the conference, while the two young ones were planning for the waterborne abbys.

"wangji, you can start showing some signals that you are interested in wei wuxian. this way we can initiate a marriage contract with the jiangs without having to fight for his freedom." lan qiren continued.

"mn." lan wangji nodded politely, while wei wuxian smiled brightly with a slightly pink face.

days later, while wei wuxian was being his annoying self following his future husband around where others could see and hear them, lan wangji snapped and pulled wei wuxian for a fierce, deep, knee weakling, kiss that made everyone around gasp out loud.

"LAN WANGJI!" lan qiren yelled with a face as red as his future nephew-in-law's favorite foods and almost spitting blood "THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!"

Trolls headcanon

So, we all know how babies and young kids often hide or stick around in an adults hair (I’m guessing most often a parent or parent figure)? I think that’s a remnant from when the adults had to carry them around like that for safety reasons (pre-sound era). It calmed the kiddo down, as they felt safe and protected, and kept them in a safe spot for the adult. It also probably comes from how an egg incubates in hair

Now, Pop Trolls literally depended on this calming feature for their kiddos while living in the Troll Tree. While adults and teens could be quiet when necessary, babies and young kids struggled. So hair time was when the tiny one knew they should be calm and many used it as a nap spot. It’s a thing heavily associated with protection

That protection and calming feeling continues when the kid is too old to stay in their protector/guardian’s hair. That means that if a parent grabbed their kid with their hair (like we have seen the Pop Trolls do many times), the kid will instinctively calm down a bit. It’s the sense of family and protection, and that instinct can carry on long until adulthood. The longer the older carries you around in their hair, the longer that instinct of safety lasts

Branch was carried around a lot by his brothers, but mostly JD as he was the oldest and could easier carry him around (they’re sitting on your head after all, you need a certain strength). All four of them were protective of their tiny baby brother, so they all carried him a lot, meaning that if any of them grabbed him with their hair now… he would instantly calm down and nearly rag doll, much to his embarrassment

Back to jewelry posting!

Today we have this necklace which Hongjoong wore to the Vivienne Westwood Spring-Summer 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week.

It is the Broken Pearl Necklace by Vivienne Westwood.

This necklace was first introduced in the "Storm in a Teacup" collection from Autumn-Winter 1996-97.

Something about the first time Mihawk swings a sword it’s as a means to protect himself and escape

And everytime after that it’s because it makes him feel strong and he never wants to feel weak again.

So here's a cute self ship art of me and shang tsung. Specifically old man shang tsung.

This is me(lady tsung) during training days/pre Konsort of the sorcerer. Aka when this man caught feelings.

Shang tsung can't handle the cuteness.

(I haven't doodled in a bit,let alone old man shang tsung. So apologies if it's a bit wonky/off. Heh. I used a base btw. And i love the "Go for it y/n!" Meme. It's cute)

"You get it shang tsung, you foxy grandpa you ♡♡♡♡♡"

Base used:

unintentionally the funniest thing ive read bc why was troy jonesing for a kids meal

[dark-elf-writes]

Oooh love that. Maybe Tsuna even tries to have interviews with potential babysitters, all of which are 1) assassins 2) blatantly terrible with kids/suspicious or 3) reborn in disguise.

Tsuna wonders what Reborn would do if he chose him for the role, but decides he’d rather not find out

Interview #4 Transcript:

Tsuna: So would you say that you’re good with children?

[Redacted]: Children? Oh I despise the little demons. That’s why I think crushing them is the perfect job for me!

Tsuna: …you do know that’s not what “babysitting” means right?

[Redacted]: …

Tsuna: …

[Redacted]: I’ll see myself out.

The hilarity of Tsuna holding interviews for someone to watch these damn kids with no one realizing that the kids have disappeared until Harry shows up with all three of them and starts chewing out the nearest Actual Adult™️ is so funny.

Now if only they could figure out why Harry chose Reborn as the adult when he is very clearly a baby.

i know it's all about social constructs & whatnot but i really do constantly wonder about the first people to start putting words to romantic love like. who was sitting there like "yeah i just look at the moon in the sky and all the constellations and i start thinking about you and also i hear ur laugh in my dreams and i think ur the best person to ever do it- hold on just a minute. Maybe There's Something Fishy Going On Here."

1960 Man’s Favorite Pastime Pin-Up Girlie Magazine by Vinnie DeVille Via Flickr: Vintage 1960 (no month) issue of men’s girlie cheesecake pin-up magazine, Man’s Favorite Pastime. Unlike pseudo-intellectual nudie magazines like Playboy, magazines such as this one claimed no such illusion. Their primary purpose was erotic imagery and in the publishing industry were considered nothing more than “rags”. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

It feels kind of weird to say I went on a vacation when one of the party members talked constantly and the last day of the trip I was undergoing constant physical contact in a vehicle for 10+ hours.
