#put him in a salad blender affectionately

[anonymousmeower]

A 360° picture of Kung Lao and his silly hat from my school assignment for @atlasofthestaars !!!! (He's literally my husband y'all) Anyway I'm gonna rant about what I love about this piece and also the one I'm not too proud about.

First of all I absolutely love the hat I made for him, idk it just looks funny on him since it's so big but not obnoxiously big that it looks weird, just enough to make him look like a silly lil guy! Second I like his little rat tail (I'm talking about his ponytail btw) It just looks ridiculous on him, third I like the pencil line I make on his hair, I went blind on coloring his hair so it straight up from my memory, I remember him having an undercut so I use pencil to represent it, while the line is like the line from his hair being slightly pulled from the ponytail.

While the things I'm not so proud of are the skin color, his ears and face have a different color since I forgot how to make his face color, that's what happens when you color with a very limited color and no idea of what color theory is. I think that's the only thing I don't really like about him? I'm surprised it's only 1-2, though it will be more.

And I think that's all I want to talk about? Also a little spoiler for you, I might make Raiden next.

p.s. Idk if the @ works or not but let's just hope it does

Being able to eat mid-battle in Genshin is funny to me for the same reasons as doing that same thing in other games. Just like...

Childe: *Yelling about the Gnosis*

Me, shoving shrimp curry down my throat at speeds and amounts that would make the gods weep:

I have made the most 2008 goth forum-like banner I could create to put my liveblogging posts of tlt under because those are the vibes I find appropriate and it gives me nostalgia. If this was 2008 blogspot, you'd be hearing something like HIM's Wings of a Butterfly, or something like that, please picture that.

previously, in gideon the ninth:

this happened

were we are now:

I forced myself to stop reading for the day so I could update a sensible amount and not a thesis length post nobody will read

it wasn't easy to force myself to stop reading

you know how it is

so, turns out that protozoa was dead all along (ish)

people here die and live and kinda live-die and die-live, you know

dulcinea del toboso soraya montenegro septimus was hiding that fact

she has also not mentioned exactly how he died (she said an accident??? harrow said he was stabbed?? what, he fell on a sword heart first????)

I am still not done with her

I still don't trust her

she's gonna die and I'm gonna still think she's scheming

ANYWAY

gideon DID suspect harrow

she had a bit of a crisis over it in front of palmolive's salad

palmolive reacts by taking off and putting on his glasses 25 times

and harrow had my exact thought process of "she's gonna go to dulcinea instead of me if she finds out"

I am very unnerved at how much my thought process and harrow's have aligned so far

very concerned for my mental state

ANYWAY (vol. 2)

palmolive says what I said, that it's not harrowcita's style to kill so sloppily

gideon tells palmolive her past trauma and how all the kids in the ninth except her and harrowbeth died and how she blames herself because harrow kinda had the childhood of asuka langley soryuu in evangelion but worse

palmolive does this

camilla, the moon to my stars, the woman of the year, my qp wife, brings in harrow with a handcuff

so, let me set the scene

there's a guy's head in a box, gideon has told palmolive her life story, and in comes camilla with harrow on a kid harness like she's a scary parent at disneyland

this is a sitcom

anyway, they all go to dulcinea's lair and have a talk with the group

I still kinda stan yandere twin ianthe (sp??), I'm not gonna lie you folks

she's ooky kooky spooky in a fun way

like, deranged (affectionate)

so, as usual, nobody agrees on anything and everyone fights and dulcinea coughs up a hairball

now, harrow and gideon go to the pool

which is salty now, much like gideon

my first thought was "gideon can't swim, she's gonna drown like sonic!!"

but they could stand in the pool apparently so it's fine

I mean, physically it's fine, EMOTIONALLY not so much

it's time to come clean, share trauma and also maybe flirt in the pool, if that's what's going on here

I think it's what's going on

it's hard to tell with them, but there's tension, proximity and hugs and stuff

basically, if I understand correctly, the ninth put all the kids in an infomercial blender and harrowbean was powered into life

but gideon is baby hercules and survived

which explains why she was turned into a blood sprinkler and the next day she was doing push ups like a maniac

I mean, it explains why she could physically do that, not why she thought that's the safe thing to do

so the ninth was like ?????? and feared gideon

and proceded to treat her like konoha treated naruto uzumaki

no adult person in the ninth was making sound decisions, it's what I'm getting at

case in point: ortus and his mom were blown to bits

also, very important

if I understood right, there's a frozen girl in the ninth's fridge tomb

a frozen girl like dr victor fries's wife nora in batman, or hyoga's mom in saint seiya, or han solo

ice cube frozen girl with a sword and chains and the vibe of this specific barbie doll from the haunted beauty collection

it's like if snow white was the apocalypse

you're gonna hate all my references by the end of this

I'm so sorry

there's a threat in a girl, in the ice, in the tomb, in the ninth house, that's the gist of it

and harrow has existential trauma because pretty much every person below the age of 18 died for her to live, so she wants to make it count

and gideon is hercules who comes from elsewhere and has the genes of a demigod or a kryptonian

but all of that doesn't matter, what matters is that harrow says the most metal phrase ever and goes: "I am a war crime"

?????? HELLO?????

and here's the thing (I have told you this @lady-harrowhark ), this is the book @ me every time I discover some truth and I look at my ebook's progress bar

if you're not completely annoyed, I'll be back tomorrow with more reactions to reveals

[shitpostingkats]

Okay okay okay, since you are at the start of season 2. I need to ask something rq.

What do you think about Soulburner and Flame so far? Soulburner is my favorite personally from the entirety from Vrains, but I also love Flame. So I am very curious to hear what you think about them so far!! SORRY I AM JUST EXCITED GO HEAR PEOPLE'S OPINIONS OF STUFF I LIKE-

Excitement is always welcome in this house, bestie.

I'm having a BLAST with Soulburner, in exactly the way you sometimes look at characters that seems almost suspiciously tailor made to your character tastes. What do you MEAN he's a happy love filled shonen boy with fire and explosions???? AND he's an awkward socially blunt weirdo by day???? Who leaked the file of Spk's Favorite Character Types and decided to throw that into a blender????

LOOK AT THIS SCARF.

How much in-game currency do you think he paid for an animated accessory with a custom particle trail? I'm obsessed.

He's got such a good dynamic with Yusaku, both capable of laser focusing on the task at hand, but Theo does it in such a different font. The only bad thing I can say about him is that I am not capable of following the rapid fire flow of information that is Salamangreats, and my word association brain finds it very weird that the archetype has yet to show me a single salamander monster. What do you MEAN this isn't an archetype based on lizards???

(Literally my only complaint. I understand that it's silly but I really like lizards okay. Kagetokage was peak and I miss him every day. But I am coming around to salads.)

Flame is such a delight as well. Instead of the passionate idiot that you'd normally associate with Fire (Soulburner has that base covered), we've got this cool and collected british dude who you think has it put together until he opens his mouth and you realize he's a little bit insane actually. I just met a certain little green fella and am slowly coming to realize that all the ignis are just Like This. And it's GREAT. And totally makes sense for the weird road to personhood these lil guys had, but mostly I just love that they're all unhinged and slightly wrong in the head. Icons, the lot of them.

But most importantly, the thing that absolutely endears Flame and Soulburner to me is their dynamic together. Friend shaped cheerful shonen boy who just wants friends but also lights himself on fire on the reg, and his six inch tall little weirdguy whose snippy and sarcastic but gives friendship speeches to his human buddy because he openly shows that he would burn down the whole world for this guy. Just like Ai and Yusaku, they've got this ever-so-slightly-unhealthy trauma bond going on. (Which is great. Again, praise be to the writing that this show makes such a complicated dynamic come across even while not directly addressing it, just in little day-to-day conversations and incidental remarks.) But unlike the other two, they're also so openly affectionate and casually ride-or-die. They laugh at each others jokes! They gas up each others bits and have honest conversations! They're freaking besties and it's so funny when they're standing next to Mx. Yusaku "I have never learned what a normal healthy social interaction is in my life" Fujiki and Mr. A "I grew up on the internet and have a weird understanding of social norms so I just make jokes and think that constitutes a friendship" i.

I knew I'd love them when Theo sat down and tried to explain human social rituals to Flame through their shared special interest, I knew I ADORED them when Soulburner asked "Why are you acting like we're going to lose?" and Flame replied "For dramaaa~"

Party in Jinlintai!!! Part 1.

Emperor of peacock spirits, and the peacock spirit Dianxia enters!!!

Xue yang: oh no not another diva.

Su she: there's no such thing as a diva diet.

Mo xuanyu: Xuan gege once made a diva diet. It composes of salads, fruits that were only grown in his imperial orchid. Green tea and lemon water.

Vegan fish.

Yao: I did it once, and it did wonders for my skin. Zish is such a genius. If he wasn't an emperor, he would be a dietician or a beauty influencer.

Mo xuanyu: I would too, Yao gege.

Yao: of course!!

Xue yang: you two would be beauty blenders.

Su she: you're always flawless!

Xue yang: this Xuan Huangdi is such a diva.

Zixuan: *enters with Jinling*

Yao: Zishie! A-ling!

Zixuan: *hugs* foxy!

How are you?!

Yao: ah contented for the while.

Zixuan: aww.

Let me serve you some tea, foxy.

Yao: mn.

Jinling: xiao shushu, your place is so nice! Better than Jinlintai by far.

Yao: *pinches cheeks* aw thank you, A-Ling.

A-Ling. I bought some beautiful gifts for you, since I knew that you were coming. *claps twice*

Attendants: *holding gifts* Rulan Dianxia, we'll put it in your caravan for you.

Yao: heyy. Call him Ling Dianxia. He doesn't like the name Rulan.

Yes Huangdi.

Jinling: I love your gifts, Xiao shushu! Thank you very much!

Huaisang: *sweeping* this San ge keep pampering everyone. Hmpf!

Jinling: wow! Xiao shushu! Is that a crossbow?!!

Yao: triple crossbow.

Jinling: you're the best!!

And what's in this pouch?

Yao: just a small allowance of $250,000

Jinling: awww.

Zixuan: how amazing.

See, your Xiao shushu loves you a lot.

Yao: mhm.

Mo xuanyu: A-Ling. I got you some new clothes!

Jinling: aw thank you so much, xiao ershu.

Mo xuanyu: no problem darling.

Zixuan: Yaoyao, anything new?

Yao: a collection of Jade ornaments! See

Zixuan: aww, they're beautiful.

You're the cutest thing, Yaoyao. *grabs hands affectionately*

Huaisang: the most annoying thing too.

Zixuan: would you mind. I'm talking to foxy.

Huaisang: *glaring*

Zixuan: can you sweep somewhere else?

Huaisang: *sighs* yes Huangdi.

Jinling: how is Nie qianbe working for you now?

Yao: sometimes I really don't know, lol.

But he gets the job done, sometimes.

Zixuan: he looks lovely like this.

Xue yang: *plucks some of Zixuan's peacock feathers*

Zixuan: ouch! Xue yang!

Yao: Chengmei.

Mo xuanyu: *gasps*

Xue yang: *plucks*

Su she: oh no.

Zixuan: my feathers are off limits!

Yao: behave Chengmei. You'll hurt him.

Xue yang: Jiggy I was bored. And I wanted to get some work for Huaisang

Su she: team dimple supervises huaisang, so that he doesn't stress out Huangdi.

Zixuan: awww.

Huaisang: when do I stress out San ge?!!

Zixuan and Yao: you always do.

Su she: 24/7

Mo xuanyu: 365.

Zixuan: Huaisang, there's a divine peacock feather mess on the floor.

Huaisang: divine?

Zixuan: because I'm Huangdi.

Use a golden platter and rest it over there. It's not any other peacock feather.

Huaisang: why should I do that?! Can't you see I'm sweeping.

Zixuan: I can arrest you.

Huaisang: right away huangdi.

Zixuan: handle them with care.

Rusong: *entering* Ling gege!

Jinling: Rusong! *highfives*

Rusong: where have you been, gege.

Jinling: night hunting, and then I'm in Yunmeng with Jiujiu.

Rusong: ohh. Here I have been busy being Dianxia.

Jinling: so you juggle it like me?

Rusong: yup, cultivation and being the hulijing Dianxia.

Yao: how cute.

Zixuan: they get along so well.

Yao: yess! and they're the most handsome Dianxias in the Jianghu. Why don't they go on a vacation.

Rusong: sounds great, A-Die!

Jinling: I was thinking of having a party in Jinlintai.

Rusong: yas we should!!

Jinling: I'll tell Sizhui and Ouyang Zizhen about it.

Rusong: ok. Then what about Jingyi.

Jinling: this annoying boy. Anyways I'll invite him.

A-Die, is Jinlintai under good maintenance?

Zixuan: always darling.

Jinling: would gramps scare my friends?

Zixuan: no. Well I hope not.

Yao: if he does anything to my A-Song and A-ling, I'll slice him with my guqin strings, as if he's soft cheese.

*smile* just saying.

Rusong: we're invincible.

Jinling: lol yes we are.

Zixuan: carry your personal bodyguards.

Jinling: A-Dieeeee, I don't need them. And fairy is there to protect me!

Zixuan: *cups face* A-ling. You're my little Dianxia. You must be safe.

Jinling: ok A-Die.

Yao: *strokes head* my Song'er. You have Rong, or team dimple. Which one?

Rusong: I'll go with Rong. Sorry, team dimple might get drunk and tell everyone about the time they snatched you away from Shizun.

Yao: *laughing*

*glares at team dimple*

A-Yu, A-yang, A-Shan.

Trio: Jiggy?

Xue yang: it's called the art of simping. Ouyang Zizhen will get it.

Mo xuanyu and Su she: we're sorry. And yes, we're disappointed in ourselves for being better than Lan lips.

Yao: oh my.

Rusong: they get more random, Ling gege.

Jinling: lol.

Rusong: now, shall we get going?

Jinling: yea. Bye xiao shushu and A-Die!

Rusong: bye team D. I love you a lot!

And bye A-Die, you know I love you too!

Yao: aww. *kisses* I love you too.

~~

Lanling 📍.

Jinling: does he still hate you? I heard that he worked at your place.

Rusong: yup. But A-Die will deal with guangshan if he does anything.

Jinling: and I'll protect you too, Song'er!

Rusong: thank you.

But Ling gege, where does he sleep? I don't really know though.

Jinling: in the basement. But then he would sleep with Nainai only if she's in a good mood, which is a 50% chance.

At least A-Die and xiao shushu run Jinlintai.

Rusong: *laughing*

Jinlintai ~~

Jin servants: *bowing and greeting* greetings Wangzis.

The Huangdis told us that you're coming. So we prepared your rooms.

Jinling: thanks. We're having a party with a few friends so.

Right Dianxia.

Rusong: So great that you got the message from the two Huangdis. And nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too hulijing Dianxia.

Jgs: *peeps out* what is A-Ling and that unruly hulijing doing here!

Jgs: *faking* heyyy guys. So nice to meet you. Song'er!!!!

Rong: keep your distance away from Dianxia.

Jgs: but I didn't do anything!

Rusong: hey guangshan.

Jgs: A-ling, you came to have a party here with your friends. That's nice. This place is yours! I say we throw out the greedy hulijing and take charge.

Jinling: *grabs Rusong's arm* there's no way I'm getting rid of Song'er! You old man!

Jgs: why do you like him so much!

Jinling: because he's my cousin, gramps!

Jgs: I see, a new generation of Zixuan and Zixun.

Or even worst, those two emperors. *shivers in disgust*

Jinling: and don't come near my friends.

Jgs: *rolls eyes and walks away*

~~

*suddenly someone playfully attacked Jinling from the back*

Jingyi: YOUNG MISTRESS JIN!!!!

Jinling: *startled* Jingyi, let go of me!!

Jingyi: but I want to hug you!!!

Jinling: you call this a hug? You're wrestling me!

Jingyi: why are you fussing?!! Be grateful, princess Jinnnnnn.

Jinling: don't call me that.

Ouyang Zizhen: yas!!! RD and LD in da house!!

(T/N: RD- Rusong Dianxia. LD- Ling Dianxia.)

Sizhui: Rusong! Long time no see. How are you?

Rusong: I'm doing good.

Sizhui: and how are your duties going?

Rusong: smoothly, for now. I really have a passion for looking after fellow hulijings.

Sizhui: that's so sweet.

Jingyi: Rusong, your cousin bit me.

Rusong: Ling gege. Hahaha, I'm so sorry Jingyi.

Jinling: no need to apologize to him. *pouts*

Ouyang Zizhen: Rusong, you're Wangzi, right. So did you get any mistresses yet?

Jinling: don't ask him that! Gross!

Rusong: no Zizhen, I don't have a girlfriend yet.

I want to focus on my career first.

Ouyang zizhen: what career?

Jingyi: You don't have to work a day in your life.

At least Jinling is sort of a cultivator.

Jinling: Rude!

And of course we have careers.

Song'er focuses more on being a Wangzi while I focus on cultivation.

Rusong: mhm.

See, we make a team in helping the Jianghu.

And hulijings have their own cultivation sect. The Hu sect.

Sizhui: awww.

Ouyang Zizhen: I hope you two find girlfriends soon.

Jingyi: do you even help the Jianghu, Jinling.

Jinling: shut up.

Jingyi: Jinling, I'm starving!!!

Jinling: help yourself Jingyi.

There's some food on the table.

Jingyi: buffet style, I like! You do care about me!

Jinling: *rolls eyes*

Ouyang Zizhen: look, RD. You have dimples. Use that as a weapon to the ladies

Jinling: leave him alone.

Rusong: *laughing* I hear you.

Ouyang Zizhen: and you're already a prince. Who doesn't want to marry a prince.

Jinling. What did your Xiao shushu do with his dimples? The guy has the strongest cultivators dropping to their knees and asking to be stepped on.

Jinling: ugh, you have a point. Everyone is head over heels for xiao shushu. *rolls eyes*

Jingyi: *eating* would you like me (platonically) if I had dimples, Jinling????

Jinling: I'll punch them every time I see them.

Jingyi: lol.

Sizhui: Jinling, you shouldn't beat him up. Dimples or not.

Jinling: but he's annoying.

Rusong: *having some noodles and strips of meat.*

Rong: do you need anything, Dianxia?

Rusong: no, I'm fine for now. Thanks.

Ouyang Zizhen: man, I want an attendant too.

What do you think?!

Sizhui: I could never. I'll he too flustered.

Jinling: they're alright. No big deal, cuz I grew up with them.

Jingyi: can my attendant cook? That's all he need to do.

Jinling: that's a personal chef, Jingyi!

Jingyi: ohhhhhh. Yea, I need a personal chef.

Rusong: do you want to borrow one of mine?

Jingyi: omg yes RD! You're the best!

~~~

Some minutes later.....

Everyone started drinking liquor and partying.

Ouyang Zizhen: what's the most scarring/weirdest thing you have ever seen! Go!

Rusong: Team dimple trying to seduce A-Die by dancing.

Jingyi: no way!!

Rusong: they were also wearing thin robes.

Ouyang Zizhen: omg. I saw a fierce corpse with an arm on top of his head.

But for some weird reason, he was in my bathroom.

Jinling: what????

Ouyang Zizhen: drunk and cultivator should be together.

Jinling: I once saw Jiujiu's hairy back.

When I was 4, I thought that he would have purple hair on his back, but it turned out to be fake.

Rusong: oh my!

Ouyang Zizhen: that's a wicked back.

Can we braid it?

Jinling: stop being gross.

Sizhui: you thought that it would be purple?!

Jingyi: ewww.

Jinling: I keep hearing him being called a purple grape. So I thought so.

Then one other scarring incident is when I walked in on A-Die and A-niang.

A-Die was on a golden table top with a peach in his mouth. And A-niang was blushing and walking towards him.

Rusong: I didn't know uncle Zish had it in him.

Jinling: does your A-Die do that?

Rusong: nah, he's too busy being simped on to do that. But he might do that for Shizun and uncle Jue.

Jingyi: Peacock got some rizz.

Ouyang Zizhen: Jinling, did you see them make out???

Sizhui: I saw Wangxian doing everyday on a roof. But don't worry, *sigh* it was a secluded place.

Jinling: they're mad. That's why Jiujiu hates them.

Jingyi: Hanguang Jun is the best. I want to do papapa on a roof some day.

Rusong: ahahaha.

Jinling: disgusting.

Rusong: oh so Hanguang Jun is your role model?

Jingyi: heck yea. Everything he does us immaculate. Down to his papapa. I can just imagine him grabbing Wei wuxian in a chokehold and feeding him d~~

Sizhui: *rams a piece of meat in Jingyi's mouth*

Ouyang Zizhen: oh not again.

Jingyi: *chewing* Sizhui!

Anyways it tastes good. Can I have some more.

Sizhui: keep the chicken thigh.

Jingyi: RD, is that wannabe Hanguang Jun still working for Lianfang zun?

Rusong: uncle Su? Yes. And he's not a wannabe Hanguang Jun. He has his own skills!

Jingyi: yea, what he learnt from Hanguang Jun.

Rusong: does Hanguang Jun know how to teleport?

Sizhui: whenever Wei qianbe calls him lol.

Rusong: uncle Su is the best, and i love him. Thank you very much.

Jingyi: lame!!!!

Hanguang Jun is IMMACULATE!

Rusong: not your Hanguang Jun almost  immaculately cutting off my A-Die's arm. 

How dare he.

Ouyang Zizhen: things are heating up!!!!

Jinling: Rusong does have  a sharp tongue. So don't mess with him.

Rusong: I didn't only get the dimples from A-Die.

Jingyi: *pouts*

Jinling: now behave, Jingyi. *rolls eyes*

Or you'll be banned from food.

Jingyi: but I'll die!!!

Sizhui: I try not to judge anyone, Rusong. Your uncle Su is awesome.

Ouyang: who are we talking about?

Sizhui: Su she.

Ouyang Zizhen: *confused* sorry, I'm not a Lan. So I don't know your Lan politics.

(Jingyi and Rusong are of course friends, but they just have different views)

Jingyi: well would you excuse me. I have to check up on my hotpot that I'm cooking in one of your indoor Jacuzzis.

Jinling: my WHAT?! Jingyi!

Rusong: why Jingyi? Why?

Jingyi: oh come on. What else should you use a jacuzzi for!

Jinling: this will be so hard to clean.

Rusong: we have guangshan, remember?

Jinling: oh right.
