so I can't stop thinking about your dragon au. How did Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu meet? Are they Liushen before they're Bingliushen or just pining messes?

An excuse to talk about Liushen?? Y e s okay so!

The timeline is a little different in this au, meaning that Binghe is going to become a disciple at the sect but not until later (which means he never had to experience SJ), but they meet in the typical Lingxi caves type of situation. Except having a Qi Deviation is Much more dangerous when you are capable of turning into a fuck off sized dragon in a cave system that is not necessarily meant for full size dragons. Lqg treats SY with a lot of caution for a while because he recognizes that this person is (or at least was) SJ!Sqq, but knows that something is very different given that SY!Sqq has different coloration and an entirely different demeanor. He acts on this caution by being around SY a lot to observe him and tries to fight him a few times like he would with SJ but SY always declines.

Eventually they warm up to each other (SY always treated him as SY typically treats Lqg, teasing and whatnot) and as soon as SY realizes Lqg is being more friendly with him he is ecstatic and is even more teasing and friendly and invites Lqg into his hoard and home to hang out and eat together.

Which of course means that SY unknowingly initiates and engages in dragon courting!! And very intimate dragon behaviors that leave Lqg so so confused and scared and happy all at the same time. The little bit of angst in there is that Lqg thinks that this half-baked relationship means nothing to Sqq because of how he doesn’t quite reciprocate things correctly and that he’s just one in Sqq’s long string of lovers and meanwhile SY!Sqq is just like :D wow! How dragons interact with their friends is so interesting (They’re pretty much moved in with each other and almost having gay sex and scent marking each other) (Lqg has given up most of his hoard to Sqq)

So essentially yeah, they’re both happy (one of them reluctantly so) and have their weird not quite a relationship going on for a while and it doesn’t progress past that until plot happens and Binghe returns as an adult to court his Shizun and Sqq is bonked over the head with O h there’s two people trying to date me o.o

I’m a sucker for pining so there’s plenty of it in this au 👍

"We're nothing more than toys to these gods, Marinette!" Adrien continued to dodge her strikes, that accursed spinning yo-yo whirring past his ears every instance it was thrown and retrieved. "They're going to get rid of us soon, taking their side won't change that!" "Maybe they wouldn't want to get rid of us if you played your flipping part!"

The yo-yo missed again, clacking against a wall behind him. Adrien took a breath, the soles of his boots digging further into the ground.

"I did what I had to," he cried out. "My part was slavery, Marinette! My part was torture!" Marinette's tear-stained frown was deep and furious, the corner of her mouth drooping to bare her lower teeth. Her face—her ears—were a bright, blinding red.

"A future with me is torture to you?!"

I'm kind of disturbed but not surprised at the amount of people shipping Orlok and Ellen despite the very obvious no nos of that relationship.

Many times I've written scenarios where PK lays curled up around PV when they're sick or hurt (either physically or emotionally), or simply just bonding and lounging together as wyrms do. Finally decided to draw how I imagine how in the hell he's able to curl up around them with their height difference. The answer: Compress! That! Bug!

Plus, that stretch that cats do, with their legs stretched out and covering their muzzles with their paws? So cute, I imagine PV does that often

ID start: A pencil on paper doodle of the Pale King and The Hollow Knight / Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. The Hollow Knight is curled up into a tight ball, their arms pressed close to their chest and legs pulled up close to their torso, with one leg tucked under their left arm. They're laying against their father, The Pale King, who lays with his tail curled around them, arms crossed over his chest and glaring at the viewer or somebody just off-screen. End ID.

ID start: A pencil on paper doodle of the Pale King and The Hollow Knight / Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. The Pure Vessel is stretching while laying on their back, their muzzle pulled in close to their chest with their hands laid on top of it, and their legs outstretched. They're leaning against their father, The Pale King, who lays curled up around them with his head laid on his arms, one of his eyes barely open as he looks at his child. End ID.

Man doing a small bit of research on Strega and Sho's back stories for my AU had me realize just crazy it would have been had at least one of Akechi's Personas had been an artificial one courtesy of the theory that he was experimented on previously. But alas there were already statements that he awoke to both so oh well, would have been cool though!

Discover the Perfect Wooden Comb Kit for Every Hair Type

Wooden combs are a timeless grooming tool known for their gentle care and durability. They're not only eco-friendly but also offer a lot of  benefits for different hair types. Whether you have straight, curly, thick, or fine hair, a wooden comb can be a fantastic choice for your hair care routine. We'll explore the advantages of using wooden combs and how they cater to various hair types.

Wooden Comb Kits for Different Hair Types:

1. Straight Hair:

For those with straight hair, a wide-toothed wooden comb is ideal. It helps to detangle hair gently without causing damage. A kit could include fine-toothed comb for styling, and a wooden hair brush for smoothing.

2. Curly Hair:

Curly hair benefits from a wide-toothed comb to prevent breakage and maintain curl definition. A kit for curly hair could include a wide-toothed comb, a detangling spray, and a satin scrunchie for overnight protection.

3. Thick Hair

Thick hair can be prone to tangles and breakage. A wooden comb with wide-set teeth can help to detangle and distribute natural oils evenly. A kit could include a wide-toothed comb, a wooden hair brush for volume, and a hair oil for nourishment.

4. Fine Hair

Fine hair is delicate and can easily break. A wooden comb with fine teeth can help to detangle without causing damage. A kit could include a fine-toothed comb, a volumizing mousse, and a silk pillowcase for overnight protection.

Why Choose Wooden Combs?

1. Eco-Friendly

Wooden combs are made from sustainable materials, such as bamboo or sandalwood, making them a great choice for environmentally-conscious consumers. Unlike plastic combs, wooden combs are biodegradable and do not contribute to pollution.

2. Gentle on Hair

Wooden combs have smooth, rounded teeth that glide through hair without causing breakage or static. This gentle action helps to prevent damage and split ends, making wooden combs ideal for those with fragile or damaged hair.

3. Scalp Benefits

The rounded teeth of wooden combs also massage the scalp, stimulating blood flow and promoting hair growth. This can help to improve the overall health of your hair and scalp.

4. Anti-Static Properties

Unlike plastic combs, wooden combs don't create static electricity, which can cause frizz and flyaways. This makes wooden combs a great choice for taming unruly hair.

5. Durability

Wooden combs are durable and can last a long time with proper care. They are less likely to break or warp compared to plastic combs, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Conclusion

At The BambooBae, we understand the importance of using the right tools for hair care, which is why we offer a range of wooden comb kits designed for all hair types. Our wooden combs are crafted from sustainable materials like bamboo, ensuring that your grooming routine is not only effective but also eco-friendly.

One of the biggest problems and red flags about the whole spider society was having kids be workers for them.

Now I’m not saying the spider society shouldn’t have contacted the younger spiders or even work with them! But the spider society should function as more of a support group and emergency backup type situation for the younger spiders.

There was no reason for Margo, someone who is implied to be like Miles’s age, someone who can’t even drive, to be running an integral part of the society and how they are keeping the multiverse intact. She not only ran it, but if it malfunctioned it was clearly her job and responsibility to fix. When the machine ‘breaks’ and functions while, as far as she’s aware, no one’s in it she’s panicking, even though there would be no real consequences if she just let it run. There was no reason for Gwen, a 16 yr old, to be running around the multiverse alone going on high stakes solo missions(and that’s not even getting into the whole homeless thing). We don’t know yet what Peni’s role is but we have to assume it’s similar in nature and responsibility. That is insane.

Pav is the only one who seems to have a healthy relationship with the society, because he’s not really in it! He doesn’t know the indoctrination canon events yet, we don’t see him going off on solo missions, he gets backup when he needs it and that seems to be it.

For the kids that do know the canon events theory(Margo, Peni, Gwen) I cannot even imagine what must be going through their heads. Who else from their worlds has to die. For Peni, is her last living relative, Uncle Ben, the next person for her to lose? If Gwen returns to her world how long will it take for her dad to die? What other traumatic events have Miguel’s theory dictated will happen to them next? What horrors do they know will happen to them and their loved ones that they aren’t allowed to prevent? Is Gwen destined to die young because she’s the only Gwen we see Alive? And Gwen and Hobie, Pav’s friends, do they know that Gayatri and her dad are both destined to die? Like the mental gymnastics these kids have to go through and the mental torment that goes with it.

And then on top of it, to threaten said teenagers, who you have working for you, with being kicked out and being isolated from the people that are like and understand them is really fucked up. Especially if the threatening is because they are acting like teenagers and not soldiers. If Gwen is sent home, not only is her life put in danger but so is her father’s and they all know it. That is some culty level gaslighting and even grooming. Margo and Peni both are implied to not have good home lives either. The more you think about it the worse it gets honestly, because what goes along with this is we never see any of the adult spiders say anything about this.

Miguel and Jess both saw Gwen’s father, a grown man, try to arrest his daughter with a gun pointed at her. They save her, Jess takes her under wing(and whether they meant to or not) effectively become her guardians. They monitor her with what could essentially be a baby monitor/tracking device. They can control where she can and cannot go. And while understandable to not give a teen access to the entire multiverse they were very much giving her the adult responsibilities of protecting it.

When she does screw up, because she is a child who wants to see her friend, Jessica very flippantly references Miguel sending her home, making me think this is not the first time they’ve had that conversation, which is so worrying. And then they eventually do. They knew exactly what situation they were sending her into and not only did the entire society watch Miguel do it with little protest but didn’t even mention it afterwards. Even if Gwen was a threat they had other options, rather than sending her home, where she could still be safe.

There’s also a lot to say about how Jessica, Peter B., and Miguel handled Miles that speaks more to this pattern of behavior but that’s another post.

In the comics the ‘Spider Society’ got away with this sort of stuff, even having an actual infant just chilling with the group, because the spiders were being hunted. They couldn’t go home or leave the safe space dimension because it wasn’t safe. In the movie that is very much not the case. WHY WERE TEENAGERS WORKING FOR THE SOCIETY!?

do you think ed would canonically teeter over that edge given the correct circumstances

Yes, I do. I don't think he'd immediately jump to agreeing to it, but I do think it would be extremely easy for Alphonse to manipulate him into it if he decided he really wanted to.

Ed canonically blames himself for what happened to Al's body, whether Al agrees with that or not (I've mentioned that I, personally, think he does, on some level, which is why he's so quick to go with Hohenheim despite everything him and Ed have been through). This is a fact that makes Ed very impressionable where Alphonse is concerned, if he words things right.

I don't think it would take much "I can't eat, sleep, or feel because of you. You owe me this" from Al for Ed to eventually cave.

Luckily, Alphonse is the farthest thing away from the type of person to do that haha
