the vibe for april 14th is lazy. it's wearing men's active wear when you're neither active nor a man. it's lying on the porch in the sun like a cat and drinking your coffee as slowly as you can.

empire siblings fanart! finally completed this wip, or to be more specific I got to a point where i'm happy with it lol.

I think the best take I've seen today is someone justifying being anti-JC with the argument that "it's been 13 years and he still didn't get over it! He's still angry! He yells at people! No one deserves to be yelled at!"

I mean, yes? That's how trauma works? You don't 'get over' stuff with no support. It's not pretty, but it's life my dude. Some people get hurt and then spend the rest of their life defensive and unfriendly. He was clearly put together and approachable enough to build a very wealthy, respected sect, and raise a child, so he didn't spend all that time wallowing in despair, did he?

I mean, against what people like to proclaim, Lan Wangji also didn't move on. He goes out and fights things, but his irrational anger towards JC is still alive and well, he didn't get over anything by understanding the situation everyone were in. He wasn't interested in asking how the hell things got so bad or why his own golden brother (who had 100% more clout than JC) didn't do anything to step in. He doesn't yell, but he's a dick nonetheless. Does JL deserve LWJ being a dick to him only because he doesn't like his uncle? Does he deserve Jingyi acting like a dick towards him because Huanguang-Jun also does, so it's safe?

No one moved on in this story - the war left them all shattered. They all commited atrocities. They all have regrets. Barely anyone gets any closure. Wei fucking Wuxian didn't move on - he just died and came back right after, and then ran from the hard questions because he didn't have the bandwidth to deal with them at the time. As you do when traumatised.

Dislike the man all you want, but the argument is just.... JC didn't stub his toe 13 years ago, he lost his entire extended family and was left to pick up the pieces. Thirteen years of being angry at the world is nothing.

But how can you love a person who is not whole?

“Because you, like the moon, are not only beautiful when full. In all of your phases and fractions and ivory-white pieces, I love you.”

Un beau matin (Mia Hansen-Løve, 2022)  

[jayvespertine]

Listen, I love you. It's that clear, that simple. And I know sometimes I can be a disappointment, that I rarely know what I want or think before I act, but you should know that in half a lifetime of spectacular messes, you are the very first thing that's felt right.

Truth is, the best revenge is seeking none at all and investing that energy in your own health and progress, prioritising personal goals you've been neglecting, and working toward creating a passionate, prosperous and fulfilling future of your own.

OceanBound by Beau Van Dalen

A classic tale of boy-meets-girl. Except the boy, Francis, happens to be a lonely warlock bound to an island by a mysterious curse. And the girl, Angela, is a siren who tires of spending her endless days singing for sailors and eating humankind.

On a fateful night, Angela attempts to seduce Francis during one of her hunts, but suddenly realizes that she cannot, for the young warlock is deaf.

The siren is on the verge of giving up and leaving Francis be, when a tidal wave slams her to the ground and injures her badly. Instead of leaving her to die, Francis takes Angela in.

Although the two form an odd pair, they find themselves appreciating each other’s company more than they’d thought possible. However, as their friendship blossoms into romance, Angela has questions: Who is Francis, really? And why has he been cursed, when he appears to be nothing more than a lovely young man?

The siren wants answers—and she will get them, no matter what.
