Today I bring to you THE CHENGXIAN SONG tomorrow who knows

I gladly present: τα ήσυχα βραδιά (τραγούδι της ερήμου ) by arleta or in English The quite nights ( Song of the desert )

The song is Greek and talks about a very beloved person leaving to see the world, not giving up and chasing what they want. Meanwhile, the person who sings is left behind. However, the connection they feel with the one who is away is so strong depsite the loneliness they still feel bound together.

Some lyric with translation.

Ακόμα και αν φύγεις για τον γύρο του κόσμου // Akoma kai an fugeis giant ton guro tou kosmou // even if you leave me to travel around the world

Θα'σαι πάντα δικός μου // Tha se gia panta dikos mou // You will always be mine

Θα'μαστε για παντα μαζι // Tha' maste gia panta mazi // We'll always be together

Και δεν θα μου λείψεις // Kai den tha mou leipseis // And I'm not gonna miss you

Γιατί θα είναι η ψυχή μου το τραγούδι της ερήμου // Giati tha'nai h psyhi mou to tragoudi tis erimou // because my soul will become the song of the desert

Που θα σε ακολουθει // pou tha se akolouthei // that will follow you

I don't know if it's just me, but specifically, the last lyric invokes in me such chenxian feelings in the sense that their mutual sacrifice and love will always connect them even if they are apart, even if they aren't on speaking terms, even if they never communicate. The love was there, the sacrifices happened, and they will always be connected by them. Jc's soul will always follow Wwx even if his body can't.

Listen to arleta:

Rare moment of vulnerability

chengxian/yunmeng shuangjie enjoyers. how do we think wwx would react if when he got resurrected it turned out that instead of lwj, jc had rescued wen yuan from the burial mounds and raised him as an inner jiang disciple alongside jin ling?

No matter how I look at it, I think you are more suitable for the law department. You were super handsome just now. Choi Kyung chose the law department under Yeri's recommendation. But… she's still single.

BRAINWORMS!! OLD RYMIN BE UPON YE

[chris-chow-and-the-frogs]

Finally posting my comic for @ryminzine! I love Infinity Train, and Book 4 struck a chord with me in particular as an second gen asian-american who wanted to be a creative, so I tried to channel those mixed feelings into this piece.

Page one:

Slurpee in hand, Ryan walks out of a convenience store to his parked van. The back doors are thrown open. Min-Gi sat in the back, fiddling with something.

"Hey! Whatcha got there?" Ryan asks him.

"Camcorder. My parents saw 'Back to the Future' and thought of me."

"Ha, you're no Michael J. Fox," Ryan says, taking a seat next to Min-Gi. "You turn it on yet?"

"Still going through the instructions."

"Pff, who needs instructions?"

"Uh, someone who doesn't want to break the tentative olive branch his parents extended," Min-Gi says. Ryan takes an awkward sip of his slurpee.

Page two:

"They still on your case about uni?" Ryan asks.

"Less so now, but yeah," Min-Gi says. "I mean, I get it. Your only son bails on his plans of financial security to play in dive bars with his best friend? I'm still shocked I managed to talk them into a gap year. Meanwhile your parents let you hit the road after graduation."

"Well, it's different for me, you know that," Ryan says. "They 180'd from their own folks and just want us to 'do what makes us happy.'"

"And your happiness is bouncing from gig to gig with me?" Min-gi asks.

Ryan takes another sip, blushing slightly. "Yeah."

Min-Gi glances at Ryan, then looks away with a bashful grin.

Page three:

"It's not like they want me to be miserable," Min-Gi continues. "They just don't want me to struggle in life. And then I turn around and dive headfirst into something they're scared I'll regret."

He loads a tape in the camcorder, thinking back to the last time he saw his parents as he head out with Ryan.

"Heck, I'm scared too, sometimes. That I don't know what I'm doing. That I don't know for sure if we'll make it big. That we might do all this work to carve out a space for ourselves. And end up right back where we started. I just want to tell them, 'Hey, you don't have to worry about me. I'm going to be okay.'"

Page four:

"Because playing with you?" Min-Gi says, sharing a soft look with Ryan. "Makes everything worth it. I know that for sure. And my parents know that. Even if they don't get it. But they're trying. Hence-"

"The camcorder."

"The camcorder."

A stack of tapes is piled next to Chicken Choice Judy merch, posters, and pictures of Min-gi and Ryan together.

"'Take lots of videos,' they said. 'For the memories.'"
