my brain can't comprehend that there are people who don't listen to music every day, or at least often. what do you mean?? do you just walk somewhere and instead of listening to music... you think?

when i say i wish people started using the reblog button more i don't mean it in a 'i want more notes' kind of way i mean it in a 'i want to read about your thoughts on this particular thing' and 'i want to have conversations in the tags' and 'i want this to feel like a community again and not like any of those boring social media platforms where artists are content creators and interactions never goes beyond a like'

He couldn’t stop himself from heading to Xiaoge, to lament his struggles with their Tianzhen to the other man that was also stuck with Wu Xie. Pangzi knew he wouldn’t be asleep. Lounging? Sure. But not actually asleep. He wasn’t capable of sleeping in. “Xiaoge! Of course, you were right. He’s fine. But this kid is trying to stress me out I swear!” He came into the room already complaining. "Hm." Xiaoge mentally nodded with a vague hum, not moving an inch.  "Did he say what it was?" Xiazi's voice came from somewhere in Xiaoge's hair, although his body still looked dead. ... Stroking the cat's silky fur, the Old Monk briefly glanced at the direction Zhao Yunlan had not yet come from. "He used to be my loudest disciple..." "He's really loud when he decides to take away my bonuses at the end of the month, Shifu," Lin Jing complained as he fit another box into the backseat of the car. "Mourning for someone who doesn't die. I think he reached a paradox I wouldn't know how to resolve." ... The classroom full of students waiting for his words reminded Shen Wei of his own time at college. He had a clear objective when he had decided to start that new life in the human world from an early steps, in the supposed youth that his ethereal appearance gave him. That objective had changed drastically because of a single decision, made hastily, in the pouring rain.

Shen Wei wondered if Wu Xie would ever again be the man who wanted a home and family that he once was. After his grandfather's death, things had slowly started to change, until the day Wu Xie had made the decision to 'not lose another person' and find his Sanshu, and Shen Wei had said nothing to stop it. Apparently it was too late to fix that too. "But have you considered what would become of me if something happened to you if you step into a tomb again?" Wu Xie had to stop himself from getting defensive and lashing out. Over these years, he had to defend his actions constantly, especially once Ershu decided he knew what was good for his nephew's life. This was Shen Wei, he meant no ill will or harm. He was safe here. This wasn't a game. “It's hard to consider something so deep when I'm still not even sure what happened between us. Have I thought about that in the less than 24 hours since I found you again and remembered? No. No I haven't.” ... When the drizzle stopped and the entire monastery garden was covered in the glow of the drops that remained on autumn leaves and flowers, Zhao Yunlan walked along the ancient stone walkway, slippery for others, easy and steady to the light steps of that disciple of the Old Monk. He didn't think about the hours they still had left to be there. Not infrequently he considered that he should have stayed in that place longer. But his truths were not aligned with reality and so, what was the purpose that could lead him to prosper in his intentions?

Enjoy mine and @tazzy-ace 's humble offering to our beloved ships <3 Chapter 6 is on!

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

I keep trying to pinpoint what kind of romance I enjoy, because I'm extremely picky and yet have no consistent theme or specific tropes I either always go for or cannot stand at all.

The answer turns out to be very simple and yet depressingly rare.

I don't need 'healty'.

I don't need 'pure'.

I also don't need twisted and tortured.

What I need is to be able to understand what the characters see in each other, and since I'm if not fully then at least functionally aroace, this will have to go beyond 'hot' or 'blood smell gud'.

All characters involved need to be people, and this alone rules out a massive chunk of canon straight romances*. I don't even have to like the characters right out of the gate**, I just need to be entertained while they are on page, and there's nothing more boring than a Designated Love Interest.

*Those tend to be the worst, because at least gay romances can't rely on the automatic assumption that boy+girl+sharing a screen = romance.

**I read and liveblogged Erha. I like that book. I want interesting characters, not Unproblematic ones.

Relationship between two characters where one of them is a raccoon who broke into a bakery and the other one is a person who owns a bakery that a raccoon broke into. This can be as metaphorical or literal as you please. Is this anything
