I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#wangxian#idk man- i just see a lot of “Lan Wangji has always been protecting Wei Wuxian” posts and its like...#I mean... Lan Wangji has always certainly been trying to protect Wei Wuxian#it took him a long time to figure how to successfully do that though#rereading the books rn and noticing theres a lot of instances that could be read as lwj being frustrated over his inability to protect wwx#like he seemed ready to cry when wwx went missing for a while and then came back with the cursed leg#lwj has always been great at protecting wwx from physical threats (ex: waterborn abyss) but had no idea how to protect him from himself#meanwhile wwx has always been instictually good at saving lwj from both#like I'm 100% lwj would've become like Jiang Cheng if wwx hadn't snapped him out of the blindly following authority thing#and also like... 15 y/o lwj wasnt happy with his life. he was lonely and stressed and literally signing up to be flogged whenever he goofed#wwx is who allowed lwj to grow up by showing him what it was like to actually be a kid (shown in story whenever lwj gets drunk)#he led lwj to having a more flexible mindset. and it both let lwj relax and set lwj up to be a better parent#looking into lwj's dynamic with the juniors- he lets them break a fuck ton of the petty rules and encourages them to question authority#he also teaches them to not be married to any one meathod of problem solving#wwx is also able to save lwj from his own stubbornness#ex: carrying lwj when he broke his leg. getting lwj to cough up bad blood. getting lwj to keep the rabbits#wwx also tends to give lwj the words he has trouble saying himself. helps him communicate#wwx also protects lwj in fights a lot but thats narratively less important#except the various times wwx puts himself in danger to help lwj. those times are what made it so lwj could never move on from wwx#like with the cave incident#or when wwx helped surpress the arm instead of using the chaos to escape cloud recesses#tldr i guess: i think this fandom tends to treat lwj being the best like its natural to him when really wwx accidentaly rewired his brain#I'm looking directly at fanfic writers who act like the Lans would've treated wwx better than the Jiangs#lwj had to do so much work and self reflection post meeting wwx to be the way he is. he is not the sole product of the Lan teachings

I've been looking at the drawing of Atrox hosting Tanner, and his pink clothes have me wondering... If a mime were to take off their host's clothes, would the clothes regain their original colour? And if the hosting mime were to put new clothes on, would they become tinted, too, to the mime's hemolymph colour? Apologies, if this is worded weirdly!! ^_^;;
Not worded weirdly at all! And a very fun question to see asked.
Clothes on a body, when hosted by a mime, do typically change color schemes to match the mime's color. And when they leave the body, the colors revert. There's a bit of cartoon logic here, isn't there? Objects they hold do not change color. The ground they step upon does not change color either. It is only clothing.
When any article is taken off, while still hosting, that article of clothing will remain their color scheme. It is considered a part of the host. If their host's shirt turns blue when they take over, is off and laying on the ground, and they walk away, it will remain blue. If they leave their host while shirtless, even though this shirt has no contact with the host, it will revert to its original color.
If the mime, in host, puts on a new article of clothing, it is considered a new part of the host and will change color accordingly. Taken off, it reverts back. Their old clothes that they have swapped will revert back to their original colors when they make this wardrobe change, if the mime recognizes that their new article of clothing is a sufficient replacement of the last. (A shirt swapped for a new shirt is a total replacement. A dress swapped for shirt and pants is a total replacement. A shirt swapped for a bra is not a total replacement, and the shirt will remain their color.)
As an aside: If a mime dies within a host however, the color scheme of the entire host curiously remains. If the original owner this host were to somehow become resurrected in this particular state, they would have the colorscheme of a mime, minus what pigment their blood brings to their new, much paler skintone. That is unlikely to happen though; Resurrections are difficult to accomplish and it's rare the circumstances are correct for one, so chances are you'd probably never see something like this happen.

trick or treat! 🎃
let's see... how about. the opening scene to kryptonian superbat au...... this was my nano project last year (only got to 20k or so though). i'm so tempted to like.... footnote every single scene of this bc it's mostly a labor of love towards precrisis kryptonian worldbuilding Lore <3
465 words, superbat, this scene is gen
---
Kal stares at the notification. “Kelex,” he mumbles. “Why didn’t you remind me earlier?”
Kelex whirrs. “You requested not to be disturbed.”
…fair enough. They’d been busy on the ride back from the conference. Very busy. But now, Kal has to wake up his husband. Best to get it over with quickly.
He opens the shadowed door, wincing at the soft rumbling snore. Pads across to the bed, and slides in. Brus shifts towards him, and Kal kisses his forehead regretfully.
“Brus,” he murmurs. “Brus-kir.”
A furrow appears on that brow. Kal brushes a lock of hair away, cupping his husband’s face, and slowly, one of Brus’s pale eyes cracks open. “Kal,” he mumbles. “You’re insatiable.”
Kal should have woken him up differently, maybe. “Brus. Light of my life. Sun to my moons.”
“What do you want,” Brus mumbles, but his lips curve up ever so slightly.
“Can you talk to the :dhosurro tomorrow morning?”
A grunt. That eye shutters closed for a second. “Why.”
“It’s science, zrhymin. I forgot I had an appointment.”
Another grunt. Brus turns to bury his face into the pillow. Kal goes in for the kill. “It’s for Kim-Da’s class. It’s for the children, Brus...”
A strangled sigh into the pillow, and then Brus turns over to look at him again. “Fine,” he agrees. “But you owe me.”
Kal kisses him, and Brus kisses sleepily back. “Oh?” he breathes against his husband’s lips, and Brus makes a noncommittal noise.
“How about you wake me up better next time,” he mumbles, and Kal buries his forehead into Brus’s shoulder.
“Agreed.”
“When do I need to talk to your plants?”
Kal winces. “Two wohl thirty dendahr.”
Brus fishes for the pillow and puts it back over his face.
“It’s science, zrhymin.”
Brus heaves another sigh, and then slides the pillow down to eye Kal, hair messy. “You’re so lucky I love you.”
Kal melts a little. “I-“
He’s about to say I know. I love you too. I love you so much.
Instead there’s a twinge of pain in his chest.
I don’t understand why you love me so much.
He doesn’t say it. He doesn’t say anything, but something in his face must change, because Brus reads him. Brus reads him like he always reads him, like he’s an open book. His eyebrows draw down a little, and he reaches out, touching Kal in the center of his chest, flattening his palm right over Kal’s heart, where the ache lies. “Kal. I love you,” he says, softly.
The pain sharpens a second, and Kal squeezes his eyes shut, reaches up to clasp Brus’s hand in his own. Hold on to him, hold him closer. He lets out a shuddering breath. “I love you too.”
Thank you, he thinks, but doesn’t say.

I'm making my statement now because I've already gotten a comment about it but I HC all of the Bishops as being non-binary with interchangeable pronouns.
Shamura is they/she/he, Kallamar is he/she, Heket is they/she, Leshy is they/he/it, Narinder is he/they
So I will be referring to them by varying pronouns in my art and writing

Why Not b/c they're a) a delight & b) a flexible role lol#they can just Exposit & Do Whatever as exhibited thusly. scan complete some asshole detected#LOS-307#asia kate dillon#our good dear friend the adorable nonbinary autistic repurposed (b/c they felt like it) chess supercomputer guidance counselor bestie#was also <_< abt like hmm released in '24 might not get that Voice On T change but that would rule (not majorly enough to tell imo)#looking up s3 lore yields months old ''Maybe'' & one [idk what if any source] In Production Expected To Air Feb '25#& i'll take the average of that as ''if it's in production; or going to be; yes akd's voice will be audibly lowered'' It Would Be Great#like really a gem to just happen to have a trans VA's voice change present in recordings over a several year range here#but ofc already a gem what a fun role. i was just thinking about what a cute as hell delightful gift they are#and about ''yeah akd can do Intense Standout Even While Quiet Presence but give them more rambunctious playful lively ones too''#glad we Do have some more of those already. more LOS more ''give us another closer passing look at their apparent partner'' more concerts.#they're amped!! as the kids say!!! mmmwah i am kissing them#also why does akd's imdb page not credit them as narrator for one [visible: out on television] episode & featured on another. c'mon

rando suggestion, but i'd definitely start charging more per piece/backgrounds/props next time you open your commissions!! the quality of your art is worth way more than you're charging for it currently and it helps prevent commission overload in the future too (>_<)
Shhh don't say it to anyone but by "fixing my guidelines" i also meant fixing my prices🤫
But no yeah, the only reason i currently only offer white/transparent backgrounds is bc i don't really enjoy it enough to do it for other people??? I'll forgive stuff like simple props or one color/gradient backgrounds sometimes since it's not that hard but i don't want to make it a regular thing jsbfjsj

As a semi-professional homebrewer, the best advice I can give to get better at homebrewing is to live through a global pandemic just as you were getting into TTRPGs, then use homebrewing as a method of escapism during quarantine and to satisfy your fixation with the game while you don't have a group, so that your understanding of TTRPGs becomes inseparable from tinkering with rules.

For me a favorite thing that Neurotypicals™️ do is make an illogical rule that I'm supposed to follow, and when I've expressed that it doesn't make sense but I will follow it because I understand that I have to, they keep trying to explain the illogical rule. It doesn't make sense and it doesn't matter to me that it doesn't make sense! Yeah it's annoying as fuck that I have to adhere to something that doesn't make sense and that I don't understand, but I've already told you SEVERAL TIMES that I understand that I have to adhere to the stupid rule and I'm going to do that. Explaining it 10 times isn't going to make it suddenly make sense, it's just going to make me more pissed off about how stupid it is and how much time I'm wasting listening to you.

I love watching people try to excuse their faves war crimes, like guys. Your fave doesn’t have to be perfect for you to like them. Complex characters are fun.

home school is frustrating to watch not because the show is bad (i love the show i have so many thoughts) but because despite the wildly different reasons (and stakes and intensity), seeing the education institution systems making students do things without any explanation or logic or reason just because they can and being absolutely unreasonable is very real of them.
