people coming to see Chief Cultivator lwj are often surprised to see him with a lapful of kitties and/or baos? It's a bit of a whiplash moment to see the put-together and po-faced hanguang-jun with two purring cats, a very happy toddler, and a stuffed toy taking up 90% of his lap space.

He's in his married era now. He can't be stopped.

I have this selfish desire to be able to pay rent, wear clothes and buy groceries. So off to my sucky job I go.

regarding titles in the mo dao zu shi/the untamed verse: how exactly are they given? From what I remember, LWJ got the title Hanguang-jun because of his part in the Sunshot Campaign, but LXC’s title translates roughly to “lord of ponds overgrown with weeds” (according to some possibly unreliable sources, please correct me if Zewu-jun actually means something else) so how did he get it??

As far as I can tell, Nie Mingjue’s title probably refers to Baxia and how many battles he won with it, and Jiang Cheng’s refers directly to Sandu, while Jin Guangyao’s title apparently refers to the Fragrant Palace at the Jinlintai–so how exactly did Lan Xichen end up being called Zewu-jun??

And then he had to join the Resistance and flee into hiding in East Germany/the Burial Mounds.

honestly wei yings misunderstandings about lan wangji were 100% understandable like imagine a nun yelling at you and insisting you cover up your ankles. and youre like holy shit this lady is old fashioned and a total puritan. then she reveals no actually i have a huge ankle fetish and being around you makes me so horny i want to become an enemy of the church for you. you'd never fucking see that coming.

AO3 Was scraped for generative AI

Perhaps this is already common knowledge on this app, but I have yet to see anything about it in my feed. If you are unaware, an AI tech company called HuggingFace recently had a user by the name of nyuuzyou scrape our beloved AO3.

This scrape included over 63 MILLION fanfics written by the hard working, passionate, and incredible people of every fandom. The scrape was conducted with the intent of using the data to generate AI fanfiction and fiction. If you have a fanfic on AO3 that has an ID between 1-63 200 000, and is publicly accessible (not restricted to registered users), then your work was scraped and used in the process.

AO3 admins are currently searching for solutions and some kind of retributions. Until then, make sure to limit your works to registered users and show the real writers that you value their time and contribution to fandom.

if you guys dont know anything about canadian politics, i dont think you realize how insane this liberal victory is.

just months ago, the conservatives had an almost guaranteed win. Trudeau was insanely unpopular even among his own party, the progressive vote was split between them and the NDP, and the conservatives had gained so much more ground with the up-and-comer poilievre who came in with a canadian trump campaign strategy. We were resigned to losing, canadian minorities were making backup plans for their livelihoods in the likely event that we would be targeted by poilievre and his goons. His victory seemed like a sad inevitability that we could only stand up for so long against

And then trump was elected. and then canadians woke the fuck up from their conservative pipe dreams as we were hit with tariffs and annexation threats. and then trudeau resigned, leaving his bad blood behind. and then the NDP nuked themselves by publicly betraying the minorities they claimed to serve with their "we dont care who you vote for as long as they arent liberal" strategy, ending the split progressive vote as they were left behind. and then Mark Carney, the best possible liberal leader for this moment in time to win as many people over as possible, was elected liberal leader. Not all of these things are good, many are terrible, many are complicated, but politics is incredibly complicated, and it's the system we work on, so it's the hand we have to play.

And it was close tonight. It was uncomfortably, nauseatingly close, even with all these factors at play, even with ridings in the prariries of all regions going red, because that's how guaranteed a conservative win seemed not too long ago.

But they didn't win. We won.

I want us all to take this moment in time and think back on it when it all seems hopeless and like it'll never be right again. An anti-doomerism moment if you will. Because he was going to win, that wasn't a question, he WAS going to win. And then he didn't.

NEVER. KILL. YOURSELF.
