Sometimes I wonder what Jiang Cheng could've become if his parents didn't instill a mix of "crippling fear of failure" and "impossibly high standards" in him. Cuz like, his dad was holding him to the vague standard of being as good as wwx, his mom yelling at him whenever he goofed around like wwx, and then both of them expressed disappointment when he's less successful than wwx. The thing both of them seem to ignore though is that wwx got where he is entirely because he had the freedom to fuck around and find out- he trained tirelessly because he made training fun for himself, he was innovative as a cultivators because he experimented and persisted through failures, and he was able to act in line with the Jiang clan moto because his actions had less political pull than members of the main family. Jiang Cheng on the other hand- if he fucked around he got told to "stop stooping to the level of servants." If his achievements were lesser than wwx's, he got either dismissed by his dad or yelled at by his mom to try harder. And if he picked fights with the Wens, they'd have an excuse to destroy his clan. Like ya- no shit that'd create an adult who's terrified of failure.

The kite game serves as such a good metaphor/embodiment of this set back- with Jiang Cheng never being able to shoot as far as Wei Wuxian because he pulls back and shoots closer the second he misses.

And its sad too because he's shown to be pretty brilliant when he's in "fuck it, we ball" mode. Like, when he's not freezing up, he manages to pull off things like rebuilding his entire clan from the ground up, leading armies and taking back territories from the Wens, and I'm fairly sure he's the only character we see counter the Lan music cultivation techniques (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that last one. Also feel free to add any of the other cool shit he did that I'm blanking on at the moment, cuz I know I'm forgetting something).

That being said- even with his anxiety, he's still one of the top cultivators. Imagine what a force of nature he'd be if he could sustain "fuck it we ball" mode

This message is for Taco if she returns

I hope you do, I'm waiting every second for it.

Taco, incase you do return, I love you and miss you. There is nothing I wouldn't do to get you back. I'm sorry if I couldn't see your worth when you were here. I'm really sorry. I worry for you and all your other friends and we'll family in here. I'd see you as my sibling, I don't have any younger siblings and honestly I finally felt like I had one. I deeply miss you and hope you'd come back.

For everything that is going on with you, I'm sorry, you don't deserve an inch of it, not even a little bit, you're too young to have to go through any of that and definitely too young to have us all worried for- you know what.

If I ever get to talk to you again the first thing I would do is to apologise, say sorry for not being there like you wanted me to be. I know this is public and it may not be the best way for me to start this but there is no other way I could reach out to you.

Please stay healthy and well wherever you are and I miss you and love you dearly my little Taco.

Fake Robocar Poli fans will say his name is Roy

Warning: While this is harmless, this contains inappropriate content, proceed to click the cut if you’re still interested

I was in Romania and I came across a store that had Robocar Poli toys. Of course I had to check it out. But the names of (some) the toys were really… creative. Like Roy here, whose name is “Dildo Color Red”. Sadly, I didn’t buy Poli’s and Amber’s as they cost a lot of money (For a cheap toy, it’s outrageous). Their names were “Blue Buttplug” and “Vibrating Pink Toy” respectively. I’m surprised Helly and Jin weren’t with them. These cursed names even show on the receipt!

A massive shoutout to the store for having these…

I adore Vortex (the transformer, not the ghost), but having such a rarely used (in canon) character as my absolute favorite kinda sucks.

Okay so. I am playing In Stars and Time, and I'm on the first loop of Act 4. I've got a major theory I've been cooking up for a while, so I decided to share it!! (Mostly for me to look back on, but also just because it's fun to share my excitement with other people lol)

This theory is about who "Loop" really is. Spoilers for up to Act 4

My theory is: Loop and Sif are "the same person" (alternate versions of the same person……?)

At the start of the game, while talking about pronouns, they first asked us to use "the royal We". Very curious choice

When asked if they were a star, Loop said they were "more like a mirror. It's more fun to reflect!! Being the real thing would be tiring!!" They could mean they are 'reflecting' the stars (like, with their appearance), but with the way they worded that, it wouldn't really make sense. It would make more sense if they were a 'mirror' of Sif, instead. Who they even refer to as "stardust"

Even if they try to be coy or playful about it, they seem to share a lot of Sif's feelings and thoughts on things

Even though they help Sif out and seem to care about their suffering to some extent, they're often harshly critical, demeaning….. even a little cruel. While they dress it up like it's 'playful', it's similar to the way Sif is critical of/cruel to themself.

They already knew a ton about Sif, and when asked by Sif if they've met, Loop says this is the first time he's met them, but that they "already know Sif".

When Loop asked what Sif's theory was for who they are, I chose "me", and Loop got surprised before just, laughing and laughing, basically refusing to answer

I "spent a loop" with them, and they told Sif that they had been through a similar scenario of being trapped in a situation, trying over and over and over again to get out, getting their hopes up only to have it all repeatedly crushed…… they didn't give any concrete details, but……….

Then the real kicker and what made me make this post. I just entered the mysterious locked room on Floor 3, and there is a diary here about someone who desperately wanted to make a copy of themselves, so they could have someone to finally share in their suffering and understand them. The way they spoke about what they were going through sounded SO much like how poor Sif talks about the time loops in his head, and he's even thought about how he wishes he could have someone who understands and feels his pain. And, at the end of the diary, the writer said they discovered how to use Wish Craft to make their wish come true. Sif already knows Wish Craft and has been using it the whole game, he just didn't know it.

ALSO, the room that diary is found in has a ton of star/Universe related things in it, and the only characters with a direct connection to stars in the game are Sif, the King, and Loop

The one thing that trips me up about it is just how different Loop acts to Sif, y'know……. they definitely don't Feel like the same person. And while you could say Loop is acting (which, they definitely are on some level), let's be real, Sif is not a great actor. They're trying their best, but the only reason they're getting away with it is because the party is so accommodating and don't want to push them, and they're mostly trying to act like their old self, before the loops. Loop acts VERY different, and if it was all put-on….. that would be pretty remarkable.

But, well, we have no idea yet how much Loop has been through. Or for how long.

I'm wondering, if my theory is correct, if Loop was like, the "original", trapped in the loops completely alone with NO ONE to talk to, for god knows how long, until they started to break down so badly they felt the only solution to their pain was to "split", become a different "them"……. a Reflection. The guide and confidant they had desperately longed for.

"I'm more like a mirror. It's more fun to reflect, being the real thing would be tiring"…………..

------

Wait, one more note. Reading that diary gave me SUCH strong "plural" vibes, the way it was talked about, how it would be a way of coping with suffering......... and y'know what's funny? When Loop introduced themself and said to call them by "the royal We", my very first thought was, "I wonder if they're plural.......?"

The royal we is technically 'singular', and it could have just been them acting kind of haughty and above it all (as the royal We was mostly used by monarchs I think)........ but it sure made me wonder. lol

hello tungle dot net i have drunk spirits tonight for the first time in I think 2 maybe 3 years and I would like to say to you all that I love you dearly and genuinely. if we have spoken at all even in passing a guarantee that I think of you often and in high regard. if I have ever like, not responded to you or tumblr equiv of left you on read it is absolutely because I am extremely anxious as a person and also autistic as all get out and do not know how to interact with people in a socially acceptable manner. You are all beautiful incredible people and I would talk to you more if only I knew how. goodnight, and from the bottom of my heart, I love you guys

*During the time Poppy's mother, Buttercup, visited her*

Poppy: I don't understand why you and father can't just get a divorce.

Buttercup: Oh, 'The Hollywood' way?

Buttercup: 'We're out of mustard. Let's divorce!', 'I'm a little sad. Divorce!'

Buttercup: 'We've grown apart over the years. Our adult child has moved out, and we no longer have any reason to stay together. Divorce.'

Poppy: That is an actual legitimate reason to get a divorce!

Buttercup: Besides; who's going to want me after what you did to my body?

Poppy, hands holding her kettle shaking: ... What I did?

Buttercup: *sighs and pulls out a painting* Anyways. Do you want this? Your grandfather painted it years ago- Now that was a man who knew what marriage meant.

Poppy: Um... Yes, I'll take it.

Buttercup: I mean, you might as well take it. I did drive it all the way out here.

Poppy: 'Oh great, the guilt tripping. I was wondering when that was coming.' Yes, I will take it.

Buttercup: That's all you ever do. Just take, take, take.

Poppy: ...

Poppy: *clenching her mug so tight by now that it's at risk of crumbling in her hands* How long are you going to be here, mother?

Buttercup: ... Just pour me a drink.

Poppy: Fine.
