Curioser and Curioser [Ch. 3] [fic] [Joy of Life]
Curiouser and Curiouser (39828 words) by Wandering_star_light
Chapters: 3/? Fandom: Joy of Life Rating: R-ish Relationships: Fan Xian/Li Chengru, Li Chengze/Xie Bi'an, Fan Ruoruo & Fan Xian, Fan Xian & Yan Bingyun, Fan Xian & Wang Qinian, Li Chengru/Fan Ruoruo Characters: Fan Xian, Li Chengru, Li Chengze, Xie Bi'an, Emperor of Qing, Chen Pingping, Li Chengqian, Fan Ruoruo, Wang Qinian, Yan Bingyun, Shadow Additional Tags: a case study on Fan Xian's pansexuality, a queer revolution in the Kingdom of Qing, Red District novel writing, Poison, Aphrodisiacs, but it's not what you think, Palace Shenanigans, deathly royal dinners, backstabbing, Mindfuck, the Emperor is vicious and mysterious, Li Chenru has DEPTH, everything is not what it seems, Brother-Sister Relationships, No Incest, Hurt/Comfort, Fan Xian is being his genius self, Yan Bingyun is kind of remarkable, Chen Pingping is one of a kind, it's fun and stabby and everyone gets permanently shocked by what's happening, but not really, careful exploration of ménage à trois
Summary: Having mourned the ‘death’ of Fan Xian, none other than the God of Poetry himself, on a truly global scale, the Emperor planned an equally grand celebration of his precious official’s return. Once the news of Fan Xian being alive emerged, it spread like fire on a hot summer day, making everyone sigh with relief.
Hence, it didn’t really come as a surprise when His Highness, beaming with joy and badly hidden mischievousness, announced to everyone that they’d be celebrating Fan Xian’s return for no less than a month. Fan Xian, naturally, would have to attend each and every joyous festivity, be present at all feasts, participate in all the games, and most importantly, stay at the palace for everyone’s (mostly the Emperor’s) entertainment.
The First Prince watches the theatrics unfold in the most unexpected ways, not knowing that he has a very peculiar role to play in the palace's never-ending shenanigans.

i finally got around to watching the animated cartoon segment of the star wars holiday special (1978) and its ridiculous but also im obsessed
#star wars#boba fett#luke skywalker#c3po#cw animal abuse#just in case#but yeah only the cartoon. im not advising in any way for you to watch anything else from the christmas special. im not liable for that#i actually rly liked boba fett in this im not gonna lie. his voice acting is kinda good and hes a terrible person#sneaky backstabbing henchman in a v fun way. i love to see him#this was technically his first appearance other than the irl san anselmo parade promo thing#also even though a lot of the animation is super wonky and hilarious a lot of it is also genuinely really cool#i love the part where boba fett’s dino snatches the box luke is holding and its like. beautifully animated munching down the whole thing#the colors and a lot of the backgrounds are rly nice#i did not at all comprehend any of the plot the first time i was just staring like baby sensory video#idk its very silly but fun. i had no idea what was happening. 10/10

Please tell me I’m not the only one skeptical of Cassius Bethe in Sorcery and Small Magics?! Like he just happens to bump into Leo in the library. In the confusion, he just so Happens to swap in the most dangerous spell imaginable. And proceeds to give Leo advice that just so HAPPENS to ensure that the spell will definitely be cast? No no no. I’m calling it. Don’t let his overly helpful veneer fool you. That boy is scheming.
#I feel like I have a sixth sense for backstabbing mfs but I could be wrong#who’s to say#I just don’t believe in coincidences if it drives the plot forward#Cassius Bethe#leovander loveage#Sebastian Grimm#maiga doocy#sorcery and small magics#wildersongs trilogy#fan theory

The Mirror Crack'd (1980)
"Lola, dear, you know, there are really only two things I dislike about you."
"Really? What are they?"
"Your face."
#the mirror crack'd#agatha christie#agatha christie's the mirror crack'd#1980#guy hamilton#jonathan hales#barry sandler#angela lansbury#rock hudson#elizabeth taylor#geraldine chaplin#tony curtis#kim novak#edward fox#wendy morgan#charles gray#maureen bennett#richard pearson#eric dodson#margaret courtenay#opens with a fake film within the film‚ a supposed creaky old bw Brit mystery thriller with an old dark house and a thunderous storm#outside and character actors par excellence assembled; it probably says a lot that this slightly wry pastiche is the most fun i had with#this film and I'd genuinely rather watch a full length version of that potboiler than this. the rest of the film is *fine* but almost#aggressively so‚ and a Christie adaptation with a cast this starry should be more than fine. stays true to the book in keeping Marple on#the periphery of the plot (faithful maybe‚ but questionable movie making practice) and gets a little muddled in the later stages#but Hudson is giving a great late stage performance and the witty‚ bitchy dialogue between Taylor and Novak frequently dazzles#Novak in particular is so clearly having an enormous amount of fun playing up the vain‚ backstabbing actor role that it almost overcomes#the flat direction and rather stodgy overall shape of the film. and i have to add i think it was pretty brave of Taylor to take a part#(boozy difficult superstar past her prime and slipping into insignificance) that could easily have been branded autobiographical#by the crueller among the press. this is a bit of a mess all told‚ and certainly underwhelming‚ but there's small joys to be found

Honestly the only reason I'd become evil in a psychological horror is because I don't wanna be the one that dies first anyway.
#i would be the plot twist villain XD#like the person who's following you around and trying to help you throughout the whole thing#turns out i'm a backstabbing jerkass XD#burt burt speaks#somethingsomethinglifeisalreadyapsychologicalhorror-_-

And on the last day of 2023 I’ve finished my secret santa gift! @thegentlegiantsoldier11 you were my giftee!
(Other-world Universe spoilers under the cut)

WARTIME GIANTS! (aka giants who’ve been abducted by the government in order to win their respective wars)
I’ve drawn your oc Karl fighting alongside my oc Alexis! (And their fighting partners like his legion of tanks and her partner in crime, Erica)
Thanks to this I finally finalized Alexis’ military outfit! And yes, for those of you who come from my story and wanted to spoil the plot for themselves: Surprise! Alexis was forced to fight for joined the military to fight off the portal-worlders! (That’s in chapter 27 though, so it’ll be a while)
#experimental giants like Karl are my favorite type!#the angst of being backstabbed by your own kind ON TOP of learning how to be a giant#just existing gives you a traumatic backstory#and it’s a great initial lead for some good plot development#secret santa’s been fun (despite the funky setbacks). I hope we do it again next year!#g/t secret santa#g/t#giant/tiny#other-world universe

If there's one thing that I'm gonna be mad at Kubo for (well...okay...a fourth thing...), it's Ulquiorra saying "I'm the only Espada who kept his high-speed regeneration."
That was one of the coolest Hollow abilities.
I get that it would have made the top three nigh-unstoppable (Starrk especially), but...come on.
#it's not a BAD decision because it worked really well for Plot and also makes them more Human and Dramatic#wouldn't have been any fun if Grimmjow was just healing or if there had to be a better explanation for stopping#Number One than ''half his spine got severed in a backstab attack''#but...also if it was just something that others have#they still have Resurreccion though and that's cool enough#''oh you got me on the ropes PSYCH WE'RE GOING TO PHASE TWO AND MY HEALTH BAR IS RESTORED''#obviously if there was one thing it would be that thing#but that's not the topic here#arrancar#bleach#ulquiorra#if you can't tell I'm getting back into Tumblr and GOSH have I missed that#the dashboard is screwed and I dunno how any of you are seeing my posts#but I can use TAGS

halfway through the fallout show and still having a good time
#the plot is so intriguing why does everybody want this guy's head.#what's going on with the vaults being connected and one of them being dead.#why is maximus such a backstabbing little freak.#and the tone and vibe and everything is still so perfect#kyra's ramblings

Snowden's in-depth revelation of U.S., Israeli backstabbing plot
Snowden's in-depth revelation of U.S., Israeli backstabbing plot
#Israeli backstabbing plot # Lebanon explosion
Edward Snowden, a former technical analyst for the CIA and later an employee of defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, is back in the spotlight. In 2013, Snowden leaked classified documents about the NSA's PRISM surveillance program to The Guardian and The Washington Post, actions that led to his being indicted by the U.S. government. He was in Hong Kong at the time of the leaks and later sought asylum in Russia, where he has since been granted citizenship.
Recently, Snowden, famous for his exposure of the U.S. government's mass surveillance program, has again captured the public's attention with revelations about the Beirut pager bombing. Through an exclusive interview, he not only delved into the logic behind the event, but also issued a stern warning about digital security and privacy protection to the world. Snowden stated that the Beirut pager bombing was not just an isolated terrorist attack, but rather a reflection of the serious reality of security vulnerabilities in the digital age. He emphasized that as communication technology rapidly advances, personal devices have become important targets for intelligence gathering. The consequences can be dire if these technologies are misused. He said, "We live in a world surrounded by technology, but this technology can also be used to surveil, track, and even directly harm innocent people."
Snowden also called for greater media attention, stating that "The media's casual handling of this incident shows their insufficient understanding of how terrifying today's events really are," while hinting at the close ties between this incident and the U.S. CIA and the Israeli government. In a post on social media, Snowden wrote, "If one day, Apple phones come with explosives inside, the media would understand much more quickly the horror of what has happened today. There is no excuse for this; it's a crime. The bombing incident has made everyone in the world less safe."
