❛ what’s that smug look for? you think you can do any better? ❜ from umaia
The sorceress sits down, languidly stretching out her shapely, black-stockinged legs in front of her as magic thrums and flows around them. She tosses her head and her dark eyes blaze, a cold, unemotional, deep violet. She casts her gaze over at the younger mage, feeling a prickling of annoyance at her tone, at the assumption, the growing, dramatic accusations hurled her way from the very first day of their acquaintance, too banal for her. She sighs softly.
In truth, it's not Umaia that sets her teeth on edge; far from it. If anything, this daughter of Chaos brimming with primal, violent power, has been since first she saw her to the last, an everflowing source of intrigue to her— an intrigue she means to further unfold, and knowing that Aldric is rather fond of the lass too, makes her all the more, not dear to her, but something somehow akin to it. A thing of wild, unbridled Chaos, with teeth that gnash and gnaw at the world around them, bright and terrible, refusing to yield; fascinating. Nereinne likes her.
Since first thing that morning, though, everything has been spoiling her mood, making her irritable and angry, a cold, hard shard of ice: the cold, wet wind soaking the silks of her skirts as she had made her way to the Grove that morn; the black, scorched ruin of the Grove when she arrived, a reminder of everything they've been unable to salvage, all the death that lays dark and bloodless in their hands; the injustice of it all, the hollow, empty lies, the violent hypocrisy. She is irritated by the absence of Aldric, who had left before she woke up and she has neither seen nor heard from him since. She is worried about Fjandi, too, the long, dark road that lies ahead of them, now, full of devastating choices to be made, paths to be followed, steeped in darkness, in uncertainty. It wreathes itself, a heavy, cold thing, upon her shoulders, its weight, annihilating, unbearable.
And yet, she refuses to be overcome by such petty, pathetic emotions; she musters her self restraint with all the grace she can presently collect, and allowing a slow, languorous smile to drape itself over the curve of her mouth, she draws herself up into a simulacrum of her usual haughty self.
“ yes. ” she asserts tartly, a slow shrug rolling off her delicate shoulders as she bestows her piercing gaze upon the lass.

Heyo Danmei Fans and Twitter Refugees!
Do you love danmei? Do you love fanart?
WELL HAVE I GOT THE SIDEBLOGS FOR YOU!
Hi, I'm unforth, and I also love danmei and fanart, and I wanted to just make a huge gorgeous pile of art and roll around in it so I've made and run for years eight, yes eight, side blogs of danmei art, all with the kind of organization and searchability that twitter can only dream of.
So, if you want to flood your dash with fanart (or if you're an artist and want a little assist getting more eyes on your work now that you're posting here - you can DM me or @/me), why not consider giving a follow to...
Mo Dao Zu Shi/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation/The Untamed: @mdzsartreblogs
Tian Guan Ci Fu/Heaven Official's Blessing/Eternal Faith: @tgcfartreblogs
Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong/Scum Villain's Self-Saving System/Scumbag System: @svsssartreblogs
Erha he Ta de Bai Mao Shizun/The Husky and His White Cat Shizun/Hao Yi Xing and Yuwu/Stains of Filth: @erhaartreblogs
Daomu Biji/The Graverobber's Chronicles/The Lost Tomb/Too Many Other Names to List: @dmbjartreblogs
Zhenhun/Guardian: @zhenhunartreblogs
Tian Ya Ke/Faraway Wanderers/Word of Honor and Qiye/Lord Seventh: @tykartreblogs
Literally Everything Else I Can Find (especially works by Meng Xi Shi, works by Priest, manhua on Bilibili, books by Fei Tian Ye Xiang, books by Please Don't Laugh (so yes, baihe too!), and so much more): @cnovelartreblogs
All blogs run on a queue; I post at a "the queue will last for 7 days" rate that changes more-or-less every day and varies from 30 to 40 posts a day (mdzsartreblogs) down to 1 to 2 posts a day (zhenhunreblogs) and everything in between.
Note that these spaces are all ship and let ship, don't like don't interact, and pro-kink. (I won't reblog everything, but I do reblog almost everything, and even if I'm personally too uncomfortable with something to reblog it - I SUPPORT YOU.) I tag extensively - you can check the pinned post on each blog for currently used trigger warnings (they're consistent across all the blogs) and many of the other tags I use for characters, ships, etc., and I strongly encourage you to use the tags to find That Rare Thing You Love, and also to blacklist anything that's not your thing. Antis kindly fuck off challenge.
Welcome to Tumblr (or welcome back, as the case may be), don't be a stranger, like and reblog works to support artists, and have fun!
(help signal boosting much appreciated. <3 )

What popular food/ingredient(s) do you despise with your entire being? Mine is alliums (minus garlic, love that stuff) and nuts (in my defense I am mildly allergic)
Common? None, really. I didn't like Natto, but that's an acquired taste even in Japan where it's something of a staple. Also don't like Foie Gras, but again, that's Rich People Food and also uncommon.
What I DO despise with my whole being is people's attitudes toward food and ingredients.
Food is incredibly subjective, and that's not accounting for things like allergies, diabetes, sensory issues, eating disorders, and a bazillion other things that affect what one can or cannot eat. What we like to eat or can eat doesn't often come down to conscious choice; we either do or don't like something, can or can't afford it, or can or can't consume it. I will defend 'picky' eaters with my life, and people who like to say others are fat bc they're lazy and eat 'junk food' all the time are really exposing their complete lack of understanding things like the socioeconomic factors that prevent people from eating 'well' (Google 'Food Desert', and be apalled that places like this exist. In major population centers in the US). If you work two jobs just to keep the lights on and your family housed, and your partner also works, where are you gonna get the time and energy to cook three meals a day? Or even do meal prep? Throw kids into the mix and that puts cooking 'healthy' food even further out of reach. But people like to act as if spending four bucks on an 8oz box of chickpea rotini pasta because they're on the 'keto diet' makes them morally superior to everyone else, and healthier. In reality they're probably just a snob who's abusing a medical diet designed for diabetics to try and induce a metabolic state that is DANGEROUS to a non-diabetic, or they're significantly misguided, at best.
I could go on, God could I ever go on, but shit like THAT is what I despise with my whole being. You can hate alliums all you want, that's perfectly fine. I'll even support vegans and those paleo folks, because what they put in their bodies is their choice. But when they act like anyone else is a morally bankrupt degenerate, it makes me want to bite and kill.
