It’s when you start to reach for someone on instinct. When you lean towards their body without even noticing. When your fingers reach for their hand without your permission. When you mirror their smile by accident. That’s when you know; they have become your most precious habit. (c) fran

IT FUCKIN YURI DAAAAAAAAAAAY

Xiao Jiu. I'll take you home.

y’all ever read a fanfic that you cannot believe an author just wrote for free?? what an honor it is to read a piece of someone’s soul they shared out of nothing but love for a piece of media. what a privilege it is to be allowed their talent because you share an interest!!

Everytime someone posts a gif set of this scene I have to stare at this part for awhile. It always puts me immediately in my feelings. The way he appeared around them in a swirl of leaves and then turned around like "I've got this. I'm here for you."

I love him, this beautiful self-sacrificing fool.

That's all.

Li Lun is so funny as a villain because all the couples he wasn't trying to break up ended up tragically parting ways, but the one one time he was like "I'm gonna make my ex experience the heartbreak of being betrayed and abandoned by the person he loves so that he'll know how much it hurts to be left behind in the dust." ...his attempts at breaking them up are the precise thing that unlocks their dormant soulmatism. How do you recover from that. you literally had one job as a villain

Fangs of Fortune (2024)

When the 3 great yao merge their powers and fight together (feels !!!!)

Absolutely dumb 🤣

[darknutmeg]

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

Glowy dark mode site skin

🎼 You would not believe your eyes, if 10 million fireflies ended up in the header of your AO3. 🎶

It's been a while since I tried glow effects, but I saw the fireflies and I couldn't resist.

CSS code under the cut.

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[darknutmeg]

the current state of fandom needs to be old yellered immediately. im loading up the shotgun as we speak

[darknutmeg]

I'm just going to throw it out there that insecurity sucks and it makes doing things so damn hard, and if you're managing to do them despite your lack of confidence then you're amazing and I wish you the best 💗
