I bet lots of people would love to do farming with Carata... plow her and sow their seed, y'know~

"I... I-I'm going to pretend i dont understand what you, uh, mean by that."

Oh that's a dwagon! (they're so cute!)

Siblings that hoot and holler together, stay together. (thank you so much!! I love these silly lil kids)

My high school did a yearly poetry recitation contest (Poetry Out Loud), so Oh Boy do I know some poems. My favorites are Ozymandias and "the world is about to end and my grandparents are in love," by Kara Jackson. Also in 8th grade we had a Poe unit and had a class contest to make the best music video of the Raven, so I still know a good chunk of that.

i hadn't heard of the kara jackson one! just read through it and enjoyed it, particularly these lines > 'grandma returns to her love like a hymn, marks it with a color. // when the world ends will it suck the earth of all its love? /will i go taking somebody’s hand, / my skin becoming their skin?'

I wish you would write time travel! Do you prefer time loop? to the future? to the past? reverse transmigration? Any flavor pairing in svsss~

Ahha you're lucky you qualified with svsss bc I have written time travel for a different fandom :3c

i think possibly an interesting take on this would be bingge deciding the point of difference between his universe and the nice shizun universe is that liu qingge is still alive... so like hm. i'll try and keep this shortish.

luo binghe has always gotten exactly what he wanted. perhaps after a trial, a tribulation, pain or minor tragedy, but eventually he always came out on top. so didn't it follow that he would win in his search for that nicer shizun? what, after all, did that other pathetic version of himself have that he did not? did luo binghe, demon emperor of the three realms, not deserve that softer shen qinqiu?

after returning home, to a palace stirred by that inferior him, his harem in a titter, it took too long to find space to go over his memories and the filtered memories he lifted from shen qingqiu. where did the difference lie? was it something he had done, as a child, that softened shen qingqiu from a cold master into a kind man?

he goes through softened memories of warm breakfast, embarrassingly transparent sparring practice, a satisfyingly cruel goodbye into the abyss, and then finally: that attack on cang qiong mountain by sha hauling's forces. instead of backing down after the three matches, instead they are chased off.

even though he had only seen him from a distance, luo binghe cannot mistake him. indeed, he sees almost a reflection every time he looks at his wife, liu mingyan.

this then, must be the difference. liu qingge was not murdered in the caves, and instead lived. perhaps the tumultous rivalry between shen qingqiu and liu qingge allowed the man to excise his crueler tendencies away from his poor students. or shen qingqiu had intended to murder the man and failed, and thusly locked himself into a portrayal of kindness as to divert suspicion that grew into a reality. whatever the case, it seemed to luo binghe that liu qingge's survival was the pin on which shen qingqiu's destiny lay to unfold. just as the man's death was how luo binghe could pry shen qingqiu from his bamboo peak, the man's life seemed to be how luo binghe could set his hands on a kinder shen qingqiu. one he could call shizun without qualm.

then all there was to it was to uncover a way to go back. he did not necessarily seek out a way, as such things had a way of just happening to him, but he kept his long reach open and searching. similarly, he did not equivocate with himself over perhaps leaving his harem and life to go back in time. either he would be rebuilding his empire in the past, or he would manage to bring that shizun back with him. things always worked out for him, when he put his mind to it, so he didn't over worry.

when it happened, it happened almost without fanfare. luo binghe stepped through a portal and walked into the abrasive air of the demon realm, separate and unconquered.

Finding his bearings is easy, though the realms had been merged for decades, his sharp memory recalled exactly where he stood now. Just as easy is journeying the distance north to reclaim his vassal (it does not occur to him that Mobei-jun is decades younger now, that Mobei-jun does not remember his oaths and fealty. It's fine. Luo Binghe reminds him)

From there, it barely needs recounting how he finds himself deep in the Ling Xi caves, except to mention how briefly he indulged the desire to pause by the woodshed. Tempting as it is to set fire to Qing Jing again, he moves on, Xin Mo a heavy weight at his side.

He had never been in the Ling Xi caves, but navigating them is intuitive. The pure natural qi laps against him like the ocean tide. He follows it to a cavern perfect for cultivation. It's the wrong cavern, as sitting calmly, meditating, is Shen Qingqiu. Luo Binghe cannot tell if it is the softer Shizun or not.

It doesn't matter, yet. Luo Binghe turns and treks deeper into the cave system, confident. Soon enough, his ears pick up the sounds of breathing. He quickens his pace; he wants to find Liu Qingge before Shen Qingqiu. He doesn't have a plan yet for how he means to save the man; warning the Bai Zhan War God of his martial brother's duplicitous intent? Just picking him up and manhandling him out of danger as he would one of his wives?

As he draws closer in on his prey, the light breathing he hears turns labored. Perhaps Liu Qingge is on the edge of a breakthrough, perhaps he is working through a heart demon.

He doesnt know why he is not surprised when he enters the next cavern and sees the sculpted brows of Liu Qingge's face twitch into a furrow, when a bead of blood wells like tears in his closed eyes. That the Peerless War God of Bai Zhan is experiencing a qi deviation? Yes, that could be surprising. Luo Binghe briefly decides it must be the lingering influence of one of Shen Qingqiu's plots. What isn't surprising is feeling the white hot flare of Yang energy starting to consume Liu Qingge's spiritual pathways.

The cool Yin of Luo Binghe's demonic qi stirs.

It always comes back to this, he thinks, a distant mix of frustration and interest sparking low in his gut.

Standing at the shadowed alcove watching Liu Mingyan's beloved brother fall into qi deviation, he finds that not even traveling years into his past can allow reprieve from the cycle his life has fallen into. He supposes this is a fair enough trade for saving the man's life, and even a gift for the most aloof of his wives. It is almost funny that the Liu he'll have intimate knowledge of won't be the one he married.

"Quiet now," Luo Binghe calls when the qi deviation rolls over Liu Qingge, paling the man's face and making him snarl. "This Lord will help you."

At his voice, Liu Mingyan's brother opens his eyes, and they seem to flash red. With killing intent or the deviation, it doesn't matter to Luo Binghe. What matters much, much more is Liu Qingge's hand flexing, summoning the shining blade of Cheng Luan.

Luo Binghe feels a smile slip onto his lips. "Well, if you insist, this lord does not mind indulging first."

i know that anon was more like "are u doing this ironically" but i cant help but like.......idk what's the alternative. listening to the traveling wilburys but you're just kidding. it's all a ruse. an elaborate prank, if you will

[celestie0]

i’m in italy rn w my family until the end of june n then i’m doing a pacific coast roadtrip w my friends the first two weeks of july!! :)

[kindahoping4forever]

Do they do the confetti and “get sauced” segment at outdoor shows?

Yes I believe that is a permanent element of the shows at this point 💙

[spearxwind]

Question about the homosexueels! Do people ever see Talas and Hades in leviathan form together? (Murder dates?) Or do they take special precautions to make sure that doesn't happen? IK Talas kills pretty much everyone who sees his leviathan form tho

Ok so like. They DO take care to actually not let a lot of people see em, but Murder dates 1000% happen for real. It's a swag pastime <3

In general yeah anyone who sees Talas in leviathan form has to Die because then they can actually connect him to the worldeater and put two and two together that it's him, so he has to keep his appearance a secret.

Since there's usually no survivors to tell the tales all the info would be what comes in through radio contact before theyre cut, so there might actually be like. A witness or two of the big fucker who now has a smaller leviathan hunting alongside. So technically they probably do get seen its just people can never live for very long afterwards fkfkgnkg

And just for fun. Some other murder dates involve putting both strats together like uh. Morays and groupers do irl where they hunt together, Talas is more of an open water guy and Hades is more of a quick reef maneuver guy.

Also the other day i was thinking how fucking scary it would be if hades had his petals splayed and looking like the eyes of a big leviathan but the thing in front of him wasnt particularly shaken, and then Hades folds his petals back and Talas is like Right There.

Or even mer form Hades being completely unhinged and dragging someone behind a boat like live bait and Talas chasing them around. They do get creative basically

Not really, as in average, right?

Honestly this blog is pretty small, literally all of my side blogs except one have more followers than this one.

[xxx-calibur]

I mean, if you insist, here comes the bullying! *shoves Carata into a locker*

This is not the bullying she likes and you know it anon. Just listen to her. She's already crying in there. Shame on you anon. Shame.

Ok I started travelers because you said the ending wasn’t bad (I know you said it was good but Not Bad was my requirement for starting a show lol) and this show fucking slaps I think I need more tv show recommendations from you lol

omg djjdkfjkdf it really DOES slap doesn't it ITS SO GOOD. i'm so excited that you decided to give it a go!!!!! please return to share your feelings as you go on the journey, i would love to know

even tho i am pathologically hesitant to recommend things i would in actual fact LOVE to point people towards shows that i love and think have not gotten the cred they deserve!!! I guess let's start slow, if you're looking for something to watch after you're done with Travelers, i think Continuum was a REALLY cool scifi show which i would die for. It's similar to Travelers in that it has futuristic technology in present day (present day being 2012 when it was released lol), it's about a police woman in the future who follows a group of terrorists back in time to present day to stop them from changing history. It's also similar in that there are points in the show where you're like 'who is actually in the right here' which i LOVE. It ran for 4 seasons and ended on its own terms so it has a proper ending, which you will appreciate lol. I think that you can watch it on Prime if you're in the US? But i would also support accessing it by uhh alternative means 😎

[futurefarmersamerica]

we're already friendly internet buds and you can probably guess who i am lol but god, i really wish we lived closer because the idea of a friend with benefits that was also my feeder is so nice

stupid moment on my end I have no idea who this is LOL but god yeah that's like the ideal scenario to me

[captainkirkk]
