This is still one of the greatest things ever made.

My take is that if you’re going to break up a happy healthy committed straight ship to make room for a gay one (or vice versa, but lbr the former happens more often in fandom) then you HAVE to keep the characters’ insanity for each other intact. Like ok yes sure we can handwave “it was a different time and we were younger and now that things are settled it’s for the best that we split” sure whatever BUT! I will not accept these guys becoming ambivalent to each other. You MUST maintain the fact that they would absolutely kill someone if the other asks. if you take away the romantic attraction then the years of history and emotion remain and now instead of kissing each other the blorbos just have to be really intense about their ex’s health and safety instead.

Luo Binghe opens his mouth-- 

--and he wants to howl what is wrong with you, what the FUCK is the matter with you, why do you keep doing this, why do you keep surrendering without even a fight, why do you give up right from the start, don’t you care? don’t you want to keep the things you love? why are you giving them all to ME? what’s going to be left for you?--

--and he says, “Oh, it’s really not like that between us, Gongyi-shixiong. You don’t need to worry.” 

I had to draw a scene from @primtheamazing 's AMAZING FIC "Tarnished Gold" I could have drawn some of the other amazing scenes, but Binghe spoke to me in this scene. Cause I would have reacted the exact same way, what the fuck is wrong with you gongyi-shiziong--

The size of shen yuans boobs changes depending on the ship. If it's bingyuan? She's flat and she's flustered by binghe's huge tits. If it's disciple era bingqiu, she's bigger than average so bunhe can fall into them. If it's liushen, shen yuan is stacked and Liu qingge needs to beat up anyone who looks in her shijies direction and call sy shameless for giving her innocent hugs

forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the makeup industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. in fact. im doing none of that

Potentially hot take but one of the reasons we need art and music in schools is that, taught correctly, they are ideal avenues for teaching kids how to do something, kinda suck at it, keep going anyways and improve over time.

And THAT is one of the most valuable skill sets a human being can have. THAT is the skill set that unlocks soooooo many others.

A LOT of people I see with anxiety and depression do not have this skill set. To suck at something is a threat. Proof that they are doomed to suck at it forever. And then, often, that either THEY suck forever or the task must be stupid/useless/pointless (whence we get AI art fans who have decided actually making art is pointless and degrading the labor and skills of others is fine because these are useless skills).

Or you get the freeze- the inability to try things in case you fail. The sudden lancing shame and humiliation or hopelessness. The sense that anything you haven't learned by now you can't learn. Which is so heartbreaking and so untrue.

I just hate it.

"What if I write it and it's bad" "what if I draw it and it's bad" "what if I play it and it sounds bad" DOING IT BAD IS HOW YOU LEARN TO DO IT GOOD! You can't skip the process of leaning and the process is FUN if you let it be what it needs to be!

since it's officially summer and my AC is broken I'm going to share my tips for staying cool enough just in case anyone else ever needs them

a fan. multiple fans in fact. surround yourself in a vortex of spinning air. turn your house into a wind tunnel.

a spray bottle of water. I get the super fine mist kind like at the salon. spray yourself in front of the fan. evaporative cooking helps, yes even when it's humid. but if it's humid and you don't have a fan don't bother them you're just unpleasantly moist

wet a T-shirt and freeze it. doesn't last long but it's a relief in the meantime.

ice. I get gallon jugs that I fill with water and freeze. I keep two going so I can swap them out (I have a large freezer in the basement standard freezers are not going to let you do this. try ice packs or frozen vegetables). wrap them in a thin material like a T-shirt to avoid freezer burning your skin and cuddle up. I sit tailor style and plop it in my lap, or lay on my side and set it in front of me. put ice packs at major arteries (groin, armpits, neck)

cold showers or baths. no you can't stay in there until it's over I've tried

popsicles. I make jello popsicles, Google a recipe. also, frozen fruit. eat it straight out of the freezer it's fine.

Gatorade. i just make koolaid and add some pickle juice.

revisiting the fans: at night, the second the temperature is lower than it is in your house, open the windows and put your fan in them so it can suck in the cooler air from outside. if you have more than one fan, position it in another window facing out to suck the hot air out of your house (this is why you should have multiple fans). have a fan that can also hit you directly as you sleep (there can never be too many fans I mean that so seriously) set an alarm for shortly before sunrise to get up and close those windows

turn off the overhead lights (every light source emits heat). cover the windows with light blocking fabric during the day. even just a dark blanket will help. one room of my house has aluminum tiles that I made to put in the windows to reflect the heat. I got cheap canvas at the art store and covered it with aluminum, shiny side out. in the summer, I duct tape them in the windows

if your residence is multiple floors, stay on the lowest one as much as possible. heat rises.

cooking. don't.

I mean that. if you must have hot food (why?) use appliances that don't add much to the heat. instant pot. microwave. rice cooker. etc. but personally I just eat sandwiches or DIY protein boxes (boiled eggs, cheese, fruit, crackers, flatbread with peanut butter). cooking on the stove adds heat.

credentials for my expertise: I've lived in the southeastern United States my whole entire life, and didn't have AC at all until I was a teenager. currently my AC is broken, there's a heat wave, the temperature is 95 with a heat index of 105, and I am currently perfectly comfortable. because of my ice jug. my precious, precious ice jug.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
