1. I’m looking for a fic - it’s post canon and two chapters. In the first chapter - the juniors talk about how Wei wuxian is attractive especially after he got soaked saving them. The second chapter has a maid sneaking into his room and the whole troop barges in to save him. @misscrazytastemaker

2. Hello—

Looking for a modern fic where lwj chases off any male that shows interest wwx & all their friends assume they are together. But then it comes out that they are not together, or wwx is a virgin?

FOUND? envy by quillifer (E, 5k, WangXian, Bottom LWJ, Top WWX, A/B/O, Omega LWJ, Alpha WWX, Modern, College/University, Misunderstandings, Jealousy)

3. Alrighty, I got another request and I can't seem to find it. Wei Ying offers Lan Zhan a heart as a courting gift and Lan Zhan, horrified by the heart and not knowing it was a courting gift, drops it. Not knowing that it signifies rejection at the harshest level. Wei Ying is devastated and ignores Lan Zhan and Lan Zhan has no idea what he has done. It ends with a happy ending. @marietsy40-blog

4. Hi! I’m looking for a specific fic that I’m kind of shocked I can’t find by myself. It’s a vampire au where lwj is a vampire prince that picks wwx as a companion. The setup is that the vampires go around to different villages and see everyone of a certain age, and the day lwj comes is wwx’s birthday so it seemed like it’d be unlikely he’d be picked. But then he is! I thought the word they used was “blood singer” but couldn’t find it just on ao3 :/ also checked “vampire au” but to no avail.

5. Hello!

I'm searching for a fic where yllz!Wei Wuxian teaches kids how to read& write by writing on mud while their mothers are washing their clothes in the river. I think it leads to wwx being a real teacher to them? I read it last year but can't find it again.

Thank you for your help! @kaptainkoalaoshiz

6. hi. Can you help me find a fic where Wei ying is old omega wolf from different clan. It’s like hunger game style but they all finding mates. And alpha lan zhan from different clan found wei ying on top of the mountain. Not sure if they’re both wolves or not.

~*~

7. Can you help me find a fic where

• Each pack/clan sends one alpha and one omega into a forest,

• Omegas go first and run,

• Alphas follow a day later to find their mates,

• All shapeshifters are the same animal species (not necessarily wolves), I don’t remember

• It’s a pack-based hunting ritual or competition for soulmates/mates,

• Modern setting, WangXian characters.

Thank you so much

8. Hi again, little by little I remember past fics. Tnx for always finding them :)

So this fic is about little wwx who grew up alone and not with any sect. I remember him mastering demonic cultivation and then solving the nie saber issue while nie mingjue's father was alive thus creating a good relationship with them. Nobody knows him tho except ppl whom he helped before. And lwj heard of him but nie huasang never told him that he knew him personally or that they were friends. I'm not sure but it might be time travel considering the events of the fic @raven-hale

9. Hii I'm looking for a fic where it's A/B/O and alpha Lan Zhan and Omega Wei Ying are gonna share Wei Ying Heat and Lan Qiren has Lan Zhan locked in the hospital and it almost kills Wei Ying due to it looking like Lan Zhan didn't want to be with him and Lan Qiren saw Wei Ying coming to the hospital due to it

It's a one shot and is canon dynamic

10. Hi! I'm looking for a fic in AO3. It was an Among Us AU but I can't seem to find it in the tag. It was where both Wangxian were the alpha imposters/alien monsters but normally there is only one alpha that can be on a ship at a time. They skirt around each other not sure if they have one of their kind there but the signs are there. In the end, LWJ wifes up WWX and they eat everyone in the ship. It had a horroresque vibe to it. I've been looking so hard for it but I can't seem to find it. Thanks a bunch if you do! @theninziparadox

~*~

13. Hello, my lovely! This is my very first ask, it's a long shot: Is it possible to find such a fic, in which Wei Ying is pregnant with Lan Zhan's baby. And they (the whole clan) are under attack (by another clan, not sure exactly who). Wei Ying wants to carry on fighting with Lan Zhan side by side, but Lan Zhan desperately doesn't want him to, because he's carrying their baby. I don't know how it ends. I'm really sorry for such a vague description, please help pretty! Thank you so much! @kalevala568b

~*~

14. Okay so I found this fic sometime between 2020-2022 (incomplete at the time) and it was an arranged marriage between Wangxian but Wei Wuxian had to wear the silver mask the whole time for an unknown reason (although it’s heavily hinted Lan Wangji is cursed by something). Lan Wangji is very cold to him during their marriage and then takes Wen Qing as a concubine (although not because he likes her but because he needs her medical skills without anyone asking questions). Wei Wuxian doesn’t know that though and runs off meeting A-Yuan’s parents and living with them for a while. It’s implied that when Lan Wangji finds him he think Wei Wuxian fathered A-Yuan with the mother (he didn’t) which Wen Chao mocks him about during the Indoctrination. They kiss in the Xuanwu Cave and LWJ calls WWX ‘airen’. But then his chest starts hurting and he calls out for Wen Qing - WWX misunderstands.

WWX sends a baby A-Yuan and Jingyi to Cloud Recesses before the Sunshot Campaign to keep them safe and has them adopted under the Lan Family name.

Later on WQ mentions something about a “vine” to do with LWJ’s curse. After WWX does demonic cultivation, the Qishan Wens are taken in by Cloud Recesses as long as WWX agrees to have the resentful energy purified. WWX knows that this will kill him since the resentful energy is keeping his Burial Mounds’ wounds from reopening but goes through with it because he wants the Wens to be safe and he thinks Cloud Recesses want him dead anyway. His mask falls off mid-cleansing and he collapses coughing blood.

When he wakes up, the Jiang family including Madame Yu are pissed at Cloud Recesses for nearly killing him and have begun divorce proceedings. WWX doesn’t want to get divorced by LWJ does. But because A-Yuan and Jingyi are on the Lan family register WWX is furious he can’t take them with him.

The fic hadn’t updated after that the last time I read it. I read it before 2023 so it would have been started before then. It was implied LWJ did love WAX but because of some curses (that weren’t fully disclosed at that point) he couldn’t commit to their relationship.

FOUND! The deleted "A Price to Pay" by wangxianist. Not avaiable on the Wayback Machine but in this Google Drive folder

~*~

15. Looking for a fic I read pre-2023. Complete.

Lan Wangji hears that the Lan elders are trying to arrange a marriage for him but then he suddenly turns into a fox. Everyone thinks he’s cursed because (I think his mother) tells everyone it can only be broken when finds his true love.

So the Lan Clan calls in various people but no one seems to be able to break it. The WWX shows up and immediately starts teasing Fox!ji. He works out immediately that LWJ isn’t cursed, he’s a fox shifter and is refusing to turn back to avoid having to get married. LWJ later finds out that WWX is also a fox shifter after chasing an unknown black fox away.

LXC sees the two foxes and then panics because what if LWJ’s true love is a fox. So he starts trying to shove human Wei Wuxian at LWJ because he’s the only person he’s seen Fox!Ji tolerate.

LWJ does eventually turn back into a human for WWX and I’m pretty sure they banged afterwards. LXC was thrilled when he saw LWJ back to being a human.

18. Hi! I’m looking for a fic I read where after WWX and LWJ move back to Cloud Recesses, Lan Qiren leaves some students with WWX to supervise temporarily while he finds a teacher for them. When Lan Qiren takes too long, WWX ends up teaching them by taking them to practice wind (I think) talismans by having a snowball fight. When Lan Qiren realises that WWX has been teaching the students the whole time he freaks out but when he sees WWX help the youngest kid he decides to offer WWX a permanent job as a teacher.

19. You’re doing incredible work! Hope you can help me :D

I read a fic back in like 2021 and for the life of me I can’t seem to find it again. Its wasn’t complete at the time so I’d love to know if it is now!

It’s post canon and Wangxian are living at Cloud Recesses happily. Then someone breaks into WWX’s workshop - where the Lan Clan gave him permission to work on some of his stuff - but nothing seems to have been taken. WWX is quite touched that even Lan Qiren seems pretty upset on his behalf. There’s a few more weird incidents including WWX finding a paper left for him that’s dosed with some kind of drug (he catches it though and doesn’t get affected).

Later on, he’s talking to LXC (I think) and gets a brief glimpse of a financial report and finds out that all of his inventions are so good that he essentially brought in a fortune to the Lan Clan that could even rival the Jin Clan by this point.

WWX realises that someone might be targeting him rather than his work so he decides to disguise himself as a Lan disciple and investigate. His disguise is so good that when he leaves the jingshi, Lan Sizhui briefly points a sword at him because he doesn’t recognise him for a moment. WWX then goes to one of LWJ’s meetings/classes (can’t remember exactly what) and after everyone leaves, the two get very flirty with one another. Someone walks in and then quickly leaves but it’s implied that they don’t recognise WWX either.

Because then a rumour seems to go around that LWJ is secretly seeing another disciple. WWX did bump into someone while disguised who was acting very weird but didn’t confirm whether or not that was who was after him.

I’d love to find this fic again!

Rick’s parents

Since we got some hints of Rick’s parental issues this episode, I thought it would be interesting to talk about headcanons!

(credit to Summathyne for editing the photo we see in child Rick’s bedroom in Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort)

We have (slightly) more information about Rick’s dad, so I’ll start with him. We know that Rick craves his approval due to his request for Unity to have ‘the stands packed with every man that remotely resembles my father’ and their subsequent chanting of ‘go, son, go!’. Additionally, based on their appearance, he seems to have worn glasses and formal clothing (tie and shirt). In the photo, he seems more physically distant, not touching Rick or Rick’s mother. My headcanon is that he was clever and valued intelligence, but that he disapproved of Rick’s more abstract ‘sci-fi’ ideas since he didn’t think it was realistic, hence Rick’s desire for approval from him. I see him working a well-paid but ‘boring’ job that used his smarts, something like an accountant. I think he would’ve been emotionally unavailable at best and cruel at worst, based on both Rick’s personality and desire for his approval.

Rick’s mom seems more affectionate here, although this could be just for show or purely in physical terms. She’s only touching Rick, so maybe her relationship with Rick’s dad wasn’t good? This would make sense for Rick’s attitudes towards marriage/relationships that persist even into S7. We’ve never heard anything about her from Rick, so it’s a lot harder to draw conclusions. However, his lack of mentioning her makes me think that she was either ‘better’ than his dad (so he doesn’t seek her approval in the same way, similar to Beth), or much worse (so he doesn’t want to think about her). I do think it’s interesting that she looks a bit like Diane. If she was nicer to Rick than his dad was, it could make sense as to why he found comfort in Diane’s presence. Even though both of Rick’s parents are obviously dressed up for the photo, she looks especially so, making me think she might be kind of ‘high society’ or concerned with appearances. Then again, Rick is just wearing a t-shirt, so maybe not. While Rick has never mentioned his own mother, he does call out the White House guy for being a bad son for not knowing his mother’s address in The Rickchurian Mortydate, which could show that Rick valued her.

Finally, I want to address the ‘Uncle Slo’ reveal in Unmortricken. Rick calling him uncle means that he was likely related to one of Rick’s parents (by blood or by marriage), a close family friend, or otherwise an adult who had some significance in Rick’s life when he was a kid. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like it’s common in a lot of Latin American cultures to refer to people older than you as aunt/uncle, so there would be a lot of ways Rick could’ve known him. However, Prime says ‘still family though’, which makes me think that he was related to Rick or close enough with the family to be considered part of it. Slo Mobius’ wife is the same ‘species’ as him, so perhaps he was adopted or a close family friend. My headcanon is that he’s Rick’s dad’s brother and Rick’s dad hates his time powers.

Anyway, what are your thoughts/headcanons?

[dinerdweller]

this is gonna be a long one but I have a hell of an idea for biker! johnny x school friend! reader🙏

so essentially, pony and reader are like really close, sorta like how he and Johnny are in the book. They’re always hanging out, but she’s never met the gang. So one might, he brings her down to the bar to introduce them to the name they’ve heard so much about. They get to know one another and all that jazz, but the one person who can’t seem to stop thinking of her is Johnny. Inevitably, they start hanging out, blah blah blah, they start falling for each other, but pony notices. And he gets pissed. He tells Johnny to “quit stealin’ his best friend,” so Johnny lays off, despite having been one shared glance away from kissing her. But reader notices the fact he keeps ignoring her. The fact he doesn’t come to her place when his parents are fighting. The fact he doesn’t walk her to school anymore. It tears her to shreds — and Pony once again notices. He also notices Johnny’s now cold and quiet. Too quiet. So then he sets them up or something and they get to be cute and kiss and be all silly 😋

(holy fuckin shit this is long 😖🥀💔)

Hello, I Love You

Johnny Cade x school friend! reader

notes: been in a slump after exams tbh, hope this isn't terrible >.<

wc: 1.4k cw: none I think, slight mentions of smoking & drinking ig

The world was ending. Or, at least, that's what it felt like to Pony. He had messed up, can you blame him? He just wanted to keep his friends, not lose them to each other.

It wasn't like Ponyboy had many friends at school; they all cowered away from his greasy hair and biker jacket, which is why meeting you was such a blessing. You didn't care who his friends were or what he got up to outside of school, you didn't even care about how he dressed. You never judged the clothes that hung loosely on him or the shoes he always wore with multiple holes in them, you never judged the amount he smoked or the language he used, you didn't even mind that he was the youngest boy in school. You were a blessing to him.

That's why he finally took the plunge into inviting you to meet his friends. His greasy, slimy, no-good biker friends who swore like sailors and fought like their lives depended on it. And you were looking forward to it. It was always hard work trying to find out about them through Ponyboy, he was never proud of how they acted and didn't feel the need to answer all your questions. This was a big deal.

The smoke filled your lungs as soon as you stepped into the bar. Not the kind you were used to, it was cheap smoke that sent you into a cough which you were trying to be subtle with. Ponyboy led you through the curious, perverted eyes of men who looked like they should be back home with their wives and kids (who probably weren't much younger than you) but instead spent their time drinking and riding.

You both approached a table crowded with seats, which were filled with loud boys and beer bottles that the bar girls hadn't bothered to take away yet, cluttering the small surface. Ponyboy obnoxiously cleared his throat to grab their attention; it worked, and suddenly an abundance of eyes were on you.

"Hey guys, this is my friend-" Ponyboy began before being interrupted by multiple of his friends at once.

"You have other friends? Not cool man."

"Your friend is a chick? This kid pulls more than me, it ain't fair."

"So, how did you find the money to get her to hang around you?"

"Look at how much he's grown, feel like a proud mother right now."

"Stop it, you know Pony's friend was a girl so stop teasin' him. Y'all are givin' me a headache." The oldest one finally speaks, louder than the others. They shut up, but still quietly chuckle to themselves. Only one of them had stayed quiet this whole time, just smirking at the other's words, he was the one who took your interest. He was different; he was not loud or shy, just silent, he wasn't nursing a drink or rushing through his pack of cigarettes as quickly as others and he certainly didn't look as well groomed as the others. Maybe that's what drew you to him. His tousled, yet still greased, hair, his bruised hands and swollen eye, his worn denim jacket and the shirt that looked ever so slightly big on his slim frame. It hit you, hard; the realisation that he hadn't even said a word and yet you were infatuated with him.

You hadn't even realised that Pony was nearly done with introductions.

"And this is Johnny Cade." He smiled, a tiny smile but one that made your heart flutter. One of them, Sodapop, you think, pulled up a chair between him and Johnny for you. You were shoulder to shoulder at this point, he was warm but was against the idea of taking his jacket off when you suggested. He must be one of those who believe in never taking off their colours. That's when the conversations started, they were so natural with him, never feeling pressured to continue or shamed for taking a break, he was so naturally caring towards you which didn't help with your fast-growing crush.

It was about an hour later when you started the walk home, a certain greaser by your side. He must've enjoyed talking to you as much as you did him; the offer of the company was unexpected and it seemed it was to him too, he blurted it out the second you stood up. Not that you minded either, his voice was soothing and his presence even more so.

That's how it all started.

It became routine to hear three taps on your window nearly every night, Johnny being battered and seeking some time of shelter. He even started showing up to school more often, walking you every day even if he didn't make it past the front gates. The time you two spent together became more and more, no one batted an eye when you would walk into the bar anymore because Johnny would be by your side. But Ponyboy noticed too.

And he didn't like it.

It faded out. No, it suddenly ended, all of it. He didn't come to your house anymore, instead making peace with the sludgy floor at the lot and his jacket wrapped tightly around him. You were late to school, waiting for him as long as you could until your father forcefully told you to get out and get to class, he didn't go to school that day, or since. The only reason you knew he was even alive was because of Ponyboy, and when you visited the bar after that first day.

Everything was the same, kind of. Ponyboy didn't seem happy to be bringing you, but he hadn't been in a good mood for a while. As you approached, Johnny didn't even look up, he didn't grab you a chair or offer you a drink. Something was weird.

"Hi Johnny, you okay?" You ask, standing awkwardly next to him. 

"Mhm." He moved his eyes around the room, anywhere but you. It was painful and everyone could feel it. You tried to talk to him and offered to go for a walk only to be met with short, dry answers. It wasn't long before you found a cue to leave.

It was killing not only you but Johnny too. His heart silently shattered at his behaviour, but he just wanted to do what was best for Ponyboy.

It was only the day before all of this that Pony had even told Johnny about how he was feeling. It all just came out in one angry burst after hearing all day from you about Johnny just to then have Johnny do the same.

"Stop it, man! Quit stealin' my best friend, go find a girl on your own." He fumes, puffing on his cigarette to try to calm down. That's why Johnny backed off, not wanting to upset Ponyboy more than he already had.

It took a few days for the selfish joy to wear off of Pony for him to see how much it impacted you both. At lunch you barely talked anymore, pushing around the food on your plate before just putting it in the bin. And Johnny crawled back inside of himself, just like how he acts when he is vulnerable; it was the same way he acted after those socs jumped him a couple of months ago. When Pony noticed this, he felt terrible.

He really fucked up this time, guilt was eating at him. That's why he decided to get over himself and get you two reunited.You weren't very happy at his begging for you to come to the bar with him.

"Look, Ponyboy. I don't think this is a good idea-"

"No, it is! You won't have to go inside I just wanna pick something up." He was practically dragging you along before coming to a stop, leaving you outside while he ran in. It was only a minute or two later when he came back outside, Johnny Cade behind him.

"Hey," Johnny says, looking down at his feet. Ponyboy quietly slips back inside, not that either of you noticed.

"Hi."

"Look, I really am sorry. Ponyboy was sayin' I was taking you from him and I didn't want to get in his way. I'm barely in school, he needs someone to sit with." Nerves were vibrating off him as he spoke, his hand rubbing the back of his neck, a sheepish look on his face.

"I should've guessed. I wish you just told me, I was worried sick I messed up." You admit, smiling softly at him.

"No, you definitely didn't."

"So, we're okay?" You ask, stepping closer to him.

"More than okay." The blush was pigmented on both of your cheeks and he was smiling too now. That's when he came towards you and leaned in.

I caved and installed Businesses & Hobbies, so Micah and Naomi got some new outfits. I'm hoping to play a bit in their save to reset my brain for storytelling!

[b1asho]

While it's on the mind, here's my wings of fire designs too. Not as much of a brainrot but still fun. Bad take or am I cooking with some of them? Let me know in the comments. Here's some (too many) notes:

I really liked the original designs when I first read these books, but I wanted to try my hand at uhh changing them a little. Mainly making them more distinct from each other (even if this irreversibly breaks canon XD)

-Sandwings live in a mixed savannah and desert habitat and have bodies adapted for resource scarcity, effective hunting, and heat dispersion. They have large ears to help cool off and listen for stuff. They can fly, but pretty weakly in comparison to some others, mainly using flight to navigate their large territories , get onto cliffs, and scan for prey. They typically climb up somewhere and then jump off. They are built like felines, and use a solo stalk and rushdown hunting approach coupled with a sting instakill. They live in family groups, with a ‘queen’ title going to the alpha female 💪 and everyone else hunting and living together. They are immune to their own venom, which acts very similarly to a scorpion’s but in a massive dose, causing numbness, breathing difficulties seizures, and eventually death. It takes time for them to make more once they’ve expended the dose, so they rarely use it outside of hunting or life/death situations (though the prospect of being stung is very scary to everyone else, and they will instinctively raise their tail when startled or threatened)

-Skywings live in high mountainous and forested areas, with some living in the lowlands. They are powerful flyers and very acrobatic due to their tail, though this comes at the expense of their agility on land and the strength of their non wing arms. They have long legs with powerful talons for grasping prey midair or snatching them from off the ground. They hunt and live alone unless they have a partner. Communities are made up of a loose group of related individuals who rarely collect in one place at once(queendom structure are a more recent and ‘unnatural’ thing for them, but very useful for organizing military efforts and empire building). They stay aloft for long periods of time and usually only land on their cliff homes. They need a sprint or a takeoff point to get flying, though. Unlike every other tribe, they have a noticeable difference between male and female (being a nose horn and red face for males.) males are prized for these features, and having a pretty husband is seen as an attractive trait for a queen.

-Seawings live along the coast. They normally only venture out of the water for trade and other resources, since they can get everything else they need underwater. Their large neck houses gills protected by thick pads that will close when on land, while their lungs are in their mid chest. Primarily adapted to swimming, they have very strong tails and webbed fingers and toes. They will also use their wings to steer and paddle, as well as manipulate things their other arms can’t reach. They will hunt in packs, corralling fish and other animals into a kill zone. They are very clumsy on land and in the air with their short limbs and weak wings. Their bioluminescent spots can be flashed for communication, and compared to the other tribes they have pretty poor vocal ability (due to the gills in their neck getting in the way) and will supplement with other spot/sign signals. Every individual has unique spots, though their glowing ones come in consistent numbers, sizes, patterns, and places on their body so they can use them for common language across their group. However, Different groups from different parts of the ocean have different numbers of spots in different areas, making cross communication via only spots difficult. Their whiskers help navigate in close or dark areas, and are seen as a status symbol.

-Mudwings live in warmer areas, specifically marshes and other wetlands (though sometimes in some forested areas too). Their thick armor helps protect them from other mudwings/competition, while also acting as an insulator that allows them to easily venture a wider range than other tribes from warm climates. Physically, they are the strongest and bulkiest. They typically use the element of surprise and their overwhelming size and strength to take down large prey. However, unlike other tribes they tend to eat more plants too due to their large size (all of them are technically omnivores, but meat makes up the dominant part of their diet because of their energy needs and their ancestors). They are also the poorest flyers out of the bunch, having sacrificed that for size and strength, though they can do short bursts similar to a chicken to get to hard to reach areas or to surprise attack prey faster than them, they’re similar to hippos and are adapted to living in the water too, using powerful webbed arms to propel themselves and dig through the mud, and their large lung capacity to stay submerged and hidden for long periods. Their nostrils, ears, and eyes are located near the top of their head, which also gives more room for Tusks. They use these to root around occasionally defend themselves. Tusk maintenance and appearance is very important to them. They live in large groups of families in the same area and have more communal social standards than other tribes.

-Rainwings live in tropical areas and have a very small habitat range. This has caused them to look and act very different than most tribes, leading to poor perception of them. They use their long claws, strong grasping fingers, and prehensile tail to climb around, and are pretty much arboreal. They have wings meant for quick takeoffs and flight in dense areas, and are pretty agile and swift. They and aren’t that great at sustained flight or dealing with high altitudes and winds though . Their frill is delicate and used for emoting (probably originally for mating purposes) Their skin is packed with chromatophores that they can use to match their surroundings, and they have loose ridges in their skin that they can raise to enhance the effect. Their skin is constantly changing color due to their brain activity, though they have set patterns/colors for emotions and communication. They can also choose to focus on organizing their skin patterns to get coordinated colors and patterns, since normally it’s pretty disorganized. They eat a lot more plants due to their environment and due to social standards, but arent herbivores. They have the ability to spit acid out of hollow retractable fangs, and use precise shots of this coupled with their camouflage ability to get prey. They can also spray it at higher velocities for defense and offense, though this expends their supply much quicker. They don’t recognize a queen in their communities and are fairly disorganized into different cooperative groups.

-Nightwings are the result of a group that split off onto an island, though the volcanic activity on their original island escalated to the point where they had to emigrate. They are great fliers, using their wings and tail extensions to travel great distances to track prey and ambush from above. When on land, they aren’t particularly fast or strong, and instead are built for persistence. Their hunting tactic involves getting an initial bite onto prey, then waiting for it to succumb to infection. Their spines, horns, muscles, and talons are mainly for defending their kill from other Nightwings rather than hunting it in the first place. As a result of this competition, they aren’t naturally very social like other tribes, They are mainly nocturnal.

-Icewings live in the colder tundras and snowy forest environments. They are pack hunters, using their speed and persistence to take down prey, similar to wolves. Their long overlapping scales help them trap heat and survive in the cold, and while the guy i drew here is pretty skinny they also store fat much more readily than other tribes. Their bowed wings are mainly used to swoop in in prey, and like falcons they often take steep dives to grapple it. Their antlers only grow in at a certain time in the year, but royalty will wear embellished artificial ones in the meantime.

[Hi, Hello, like 8 people wanted more of what I wrote about Strange Omega Qinghua so I guess I'm delivering on that]

[The Prequel]

To Shang Qinghua, scenting is a useless phenomena.

He understands it theoretically. It's the process in which an item is marked with the pheromones of an individual to indicate an underlying social context.

The problem is, he has no idea what it's actually like.

Despite his omega status for his secondary gender, he has never actually participated in the process. Being scent blind, the smell of pheromones is something he is unaffected by, and as something that's so key in the use of social interactions, it forces Shang Qinghua to really be able to understand other cues to give a tell on how things work.

For the major characters, he doesn't need a tell. He has wrote them down with painstaking detail, dedicating chapters and paragraphs and enough words that it would make a novel feel like a drabble in comparison. He can see the twitch in Liu Qingge's hand whenever he wants to hunt, the movement Shen Jiu's fan does when he's pissed, and the way Yue Qingyuan's smile becomes a little more lifeless whenever the Qing Jing Peak Lord passes him silently.

For the characters he didn't write, he sometimes fumble. He can't smell them sometimes when they hide their anger but after years of practice, he can tell when they're mad.

It was what made him advantageous when it came to deals. Though he could never tell when a merchant was happy with the deal or not, he would be unable to be intimidated by scent. The scent of particularly aggressive suppliers who uses their scent to pressure their business partners into agreeing to a more lucrative agreement find trouble with Shang Qinghua, he simply sits casually, as if the room that is heavily intoxicated with the scent of danger was only a figment of your imagination.

But scenting itself is an instinct, an instinct that Qinghua does not have. Sure, he can emit pheromones, but it's a rocky attempt at best, and uncontrollable at worst, with the scent of these pheromones coming out at random with no clear way to start or stop. Scenting is an intentional process that relies on a person's innate ability to imbue an object with the smell of them.

It's not like he can smell it anyway.

It's why, despite his Omega status, he has never shared his scent with other omegas. it would be impossible to properly practice normal omegaverse customs without the capabilities to do so.

In my idea of the Omegaverse, people give and mark their scents to each other regularly to indicate their belonging to a pack, whether it be something such as a family, or an organization like Cang Qiong. Many have tried to gift Shang Qinghua these in the form of pillowcases, robes, or accessories.

But ignorant to his own place in the world and the way people feel about him, he takes this as his role on An Ding to be inadvertently assigned as an outer disciple in charge of the laundry; and being charged with the task of becoming the Peak Lord of An Ding by the system, he swallow his pride to take it in stride, washing vigorously and returning them back to the person in pristine and sterile condition.

This has caused strain and even a punch to the face for Qinghua, with him wrongly assuming it was simply his destiny to be mistreated. Of course he's treated like dirt, ut's probably why he became a traitor in the first place. Time passes, and he slowly gets less and less of these gifts and continues his unprecedented distance to the people of his peak.

Maybe it was why it was so easy for the people in the caravan to throw him to the man who would one day be his demise, a sacrifice for a world that values the people of their pack so highly, that seems to place such a significant weight over protecting their own.

(He hears the whispers that pity him, that suspect him, that makes guesses on why he survived, all of which center around his distance. That the demon had came for Cang Qiong specifically and his detachment gave him an out to lie about his allegiance and pass himself off as a bystander who was just unfortunate enough to be there. He seems pitiful enough, why not let him live.)

Maybe it's also why Mobei-jun has such a hard time trusting him for so long. You would assume from a man that said he would dedicate his entire life to you, that he would give everything to be your servant, he would be unashamed in being part of your pack. That he would show a visible attempt at indicating that. Pride for your pack is important in such a territorial world.

He's grated that his subordinate seemingly refuses to show his loyalty by keeping his scent, that whatever he has marked will be scrubbed into sterility.

(Shang Qinghua was once asked by his fellow disciple what that scent was, and it clicked pretty fast that Mobei-jun was marking his things. He stays up late and scrubs and replaces everything regularly, praying that the system gives him a hand if it wants the plot to stay on course.)

I sincerely hope you all know that when I say "baby butch Jackie Taylor who died before he had a chance to realize/explore it" I'm not just pulling that out of my ass. Literally just look at the outfits she wears over the course of season 1.

Are they the most masculine things ever? No, of course not! But when you compare them to the outfits we see her wear before the crash, when they're still in Wiskayok?

It paints a very interesting picture.

modern au fox would be a severely depressed tech support worker making minimum wage tbh . he lives in a tiny little concrete box apartment and sleeps face down on a twenty year old foam mattress with no sheets and has NO internet presence because he's too paranoid . completely hobby-less. he would probably feel better if he . idfk ate a vegetable because you know his diet is comprised entirely of supplements, cornthins, and dry gym bro protein powder

Interestingly, despite claiming that the Quack Pack is non-canon and its own thing, it still appears partially in the comics, possibly showing a possible future. By the way, this is from the comic "Paperinik e i crimini virtuali" from October 1, 1998, written and drawn by Stefano De Lellis. Admittedly, it's about an ordinary Duck Avenger (Paperinik) wondering what his future holds and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck appear as teenagers about to go to college. Yes, this may be the only time in the Italian comics that the Quack Pack version of Donald's nephews appear there, but again, it's good to know. Isn't it?

They just messed up maybe the designs and colors. I guess you recognize who is who. Although I prefer the original and true version of the Quack Pack this is how they appeared in the comic in the first place. Even if it was a non-canon future, I wish it had come up a little more often. I mean the teenage version of Donald's nephews.

Adorned by stars | Changing States

When he hits the I-70, Jeremiah slots George Michael’s Faith into his ’98 Accord and drives with the windows down. His mother would chide him for two reasons: a) he’s wasting fuel and b) it’s begun to storm. But he likes the way the wind shears through his hair like a nail breaking drywall and he likes the way spats of rain settle on his skin like constellations because on the road, he isn’t just a hand for someone else to hold, a body to handle, a man who looks at another man and fears how much of himself he’s lost in his reflection. No. On the road he is the sky, adorned by stars of his own making, relentless in his abundance, blinking in the absence of any other light.

A little Changing States aesthetic & excerpt!

Headcanon Update - Kakashi and Tonton

Crack piece written with the wayward thought of "If Kakashi likes to dress up the pack, then surely he would not be opposed to dressing his friends' familiars as well."

What first comes to mind when hearing 'oink' was Tokachi Butadon or Pork Shogayaki, rare dishes in Konohagakure; but a staple in the Fire Country Capital. Other than that, Kakashi has never paid pigs much attention…his heart and soul already captured in full by Pakkun's soft footpads. It was hard not to pay attention to Lady Tsunade however (her annoyed footsteps shook the sandy trenches of Sunagakure on a good day) so naturally one took notice of the tiny shadow that pattered at her heel. Tonton was plump and pink, the pearl collar not something you would expect a shinobi familiar to wear. In contrast to her appearance, she was surprisingly hardy and strong and her sense of smell (Kakashi was loathe to admit) on par with that of his ninken. Her devotion to her Master was admirable, and Kakashi would readily divulge to anyone who asked that he very much enjoyed watching the little pig nip at the heels of young Genin who dared to darken the Godaime's doorway with their complaints over yet /another/ babysitting mission. He….respected (?) the pig as an adept chakra user…he supposed, valued the many additional characteristics that she shared with the adorable, Inuzuka puppies he liked to pet whenever he took Pakkun and the boys to get looked over by Hana-chan. Perhaps respect was too strong a word for a pet, even for that of a Hokage's pet; but Kakashi has almost always given due regard for animals more naturally than his cohorts. Whatever the 'not-respect' was, it was enough of a compulsion for him to remember to purchase an extra, Tonton-sized vest when next he found himself in the shōtengai district, arm already laden with new vests and bandanas for the pack (their last sets well-worn and tattered as a result of one too many a tracking fang technique). Imagine the Godaime's surprise when her next Jōnin induced rant was interrupted mid-way by Kakashi plopping a tiny vest on her desk, shoulders already rising into a half shrug.

"Hai, hai…I get it. No more referring to my aggrieved colleagues by immature code names in official mission debriefs. The season's about to take a turn… maybe Pig-chan could use it?"
