Jing Yuan x Ren [ canon ] @wakasano

Jing Yuan made sure that the Stellaron crisis would be where all his grievances would be resolved. It was easy to calculate things once Blade arrived his ship, and even easier to thread through people’s hearts on behalf of the future. Jing Yuan had paved a way for Yanqing to grow, had managed to get Dan Heng back on the ship, had bid farewell to his former friends… and even got a moment to test Fu Xuan’s skills as General while he was recovering.

This doesn’t mean that everything is said and done already, since he still has… weeds, for lack of better metaphor, that need to be removed from his garden. But it is true that things are falling right into piece.

And as if fate wants to prove him certain of his decisions, Jing Yuan finds himself staring at a man of black hair not too far from the facility of the Alchemy Commission. The area is safer from attacks now, albeit there’s still a lot to be done to repair the damage made by the denizens of Abundance. Alas, what waits for him is another marastruck man… but one which Jing Yuan misses terribly. And that’s why he keeps moving forward.

“At this point, one would have expected you to have left the Xianzhou Luofu a few days ago already.” The white haired, dressed in a hanfu that belongs to the Alchemy Commission, is still recovering. He didn’t expect to find the swordsman in one of his escapades, but well… “Care to share what you are still doing here, Ren?”

ERASE the plot of the whole series from your minds. they’re living a calm regular life and have their own jayviks to obsess over.

It was affection.

Headcannon that Jason got the headstone from his grave and put it above his bed because it says 'Here lies Jason Todd' (he broke off the good soldier bit ofc) and thinks it's the funniest thing ever, some of the family, of course, are horrified.

Dick, at Jason's before they go out on patrol: Hey Jaybird, make sure to bring a spare respir--WHAT THE HELL?!?

Dick, looking frantically between Jason and the headstone: this is clearly a threat. Somebody knows your identity. I swear to GOD when I find who did this--

Jason, looking up from his phone comepletely unbothered: oh yeah, about that

--------

Bonus:

--------

Tim, climbing through Jasons bedroom window: Hey, its me, dont shoot. Do you have a first aid kit here right?

Jason, getting up from where he was reading in bed: ugh yeah sure, one sec

Jason, proceeds to grab a sticky note saying 'DOES NOT' and jabs it onto the headstone so it reads 'Here DOES NOT lie Jason Todd':

Tim:

Tim: okay that's funny

I mean—it's them, right?

[pangur-and-grim]

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."
