I was meant for an angsty teen emo/punk romance in the early 2000s I'm not meant to be here I meant to be in a questionable but intense loving relationship with someone who sleeps in sharpie eyeliner for several weeks in a row that begins in the spring of 2002

Making super niche content catering only to me, but I decided to draw the Old Hillsbrad Foothills - Renault Mograine and Sally Whitemane interaction - however put them closer to the ages they have during the same event in "Ashbringer" where I assume Renault is ~15 and so is she. Also baby Darion who is a kid and he was present for the creation of The Ashbringer.
Yes, my math is probably off, I just assume Renault would be a teen here and if not, yeah this is just super self indulgent stuff. I wanted to draw 15-16 year old Renault and Sally and also a baby Darion.

The Untamed
Hearing this, he spat, "Fooling around again! Your sect leader, I, has already poured you a bowl and put it outside. Kneel for me to express your gratitude and go drinking your soup outside."
Wei Wuxian skipped outside before he turned around and came back, "What do you mean by this, Jiang Cheng? Where's the meat?"
Jiang Cheng, "Finished it. There're only lotus roots left. Don't eat them if you don't want to."
Wei Wuxian attacked with his elbow, "Spit out the meat!"
Jiang Cheng, "No objections. I'll spit them out and let's see if you'll eat them!"
Seeing that they started to argue again, Jiang Yanli quickly interrupted, "Okay, okay. How old are you two, fighting over some meat? I'll just make another jar..."
The lotus pork rib soup that Jiang Yanli made was Wei Wuxian's favorite.
Aside from how it was really delicious, it was also because he'd always recall what happened the first time, he had it.
[...]
Having stayed up for almost half of the night, the two had grown hungry as well. And so, Jiang Yanli went to the kitchen and busied herself for a while, standing on tiptoe. She warned up a bowl of lotus pork rib soup for each of them. The aroma wrapped itself around his heart, lingering.

Anyway, Lang Qianqiu! I don't know if I'm imagining Xie Lian's fond-teacher-y vibes in the book because this time I know what relationship Lang Qianqiu and Xie Lian once had or if they're actually stronger in the book than in the cartoon. I suppose in the book we do get (more of) Xie Lian's thoughts! He never says "Ah, Lang Qianqiu, I knew him before" but whenever he shows up it feels like there's a mix of "he's grown up so well, such an accomplished and noble god, truly a student to be proud of" and "after so long and you're still like this, huh?" both seeping out of the page 💖

man... rhoam's "redemption" in aoc really sucked, huh?
like botw SHOWED us, several times, how much pressure rhoam put on zelda to unlock her powers, despite her telling him, several times, that it wasn't working. he got angry and banned her from doing not only something she saw as useful, but something that she was clearly very interested in and passionate about because she "wasn't dedicating enough time to her prayers." yes, his diary expresses regret for it, but at the end of the day, if zelda saw that it wouldn't mean much to her. the actions rhoam took, and the way zelda grew up under so much pressure that she nearly died as a child in one of the springs (this is in urbosa's diary, iirc) mean so much more than his regrets and his intentions. it took him nearly 10 years to realize that he fucked up, and by that point it was too late. the calamity had returned, and rhoam had lost any chance he had at making things right with zelda.
meanwhile, in aoc, all that's there is some half-hearted scene in the temple of time that's supposed to make everything better? yes, aoc had a very different and arguably better outcome than the calamity that led to botw, but the damage was still done by rhoam. it's still the same hurts and abuse and trauma that he put his daughter through all because of the prophesized calamity.

Halloween Recommendation: Stephen King's Rose Red
** This one can be tricky to find. It was originally released as a 3 night mini-series in 2002, but then re-released as a motion picture. Apparently Hulu has it?
In 1906, oil barron John Rimbauer built a veritable palace overlooking Seattle. It was his young bride, Ellen, who would give the house it's name: Rose Red.
First blood was drawn before the foundation was even laid. A foreman, murdered over a simple argument. Bizarre deaths and mysterious disappearances plagued Rose Red, swallowing up the Rimbauer family, their servants, friends, and anyone who dared enter.
Eventually, the grand estate fell into disrepair. Paranormal investigators descended upon the property, but none were ever able to solve the mystery, nor stop the deaths.
Now, more than 90 years after the first deaths at Rose Red, Steven Rimbauer, the last living descendant of John and Ellen Rimbauer, has been offered massive sums of money to sell Rose Red. It will be totally leveled, the land used for condos.
Before the house is destroyed, Steven agrees to let Dr. Joyce Reardon and a cobbled-together team of psychics, mediums, and other paranormal investigators do one final sweep of the house.
What evil lurks within Rose Red?
What horrors did John and Ellen Rimbauer summon in their palatial estate- or were they victims themselves?
Why does Rose Red kill the men, but swallow the souls of the women and force them to haunt it's halls?
How many of Dr. Joyce Reardon's team can escape with their lives?
*** Stephen King wrote the screenplay for this story, but there is no novel. Instead, as part of the publicity and hype leading up to the miniseries premiere, "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer" was published, serving as a prequel. You can buy the novel on Kindle.

Playing thru y6 rn and just found out Yuta is the baby daddy. It's so funny that he never brought up him and Haruka's relationship because he just. Never considered that he could be the father?? Lmao??? Yuta is canonically stupid I love him
I saw it as less him being TOTALLY stupid and more him being so fucking Scared of the idea that he could be the father (note: he is barely even an adult) that he was in DEEP denial and trying to himself it’d be impossible or ridiculous. hence why when it Was revealed everyone was like. yuta what the fuck. what do you mean you didn’t know. and he looks guilty as hell (because somewhere in him he Did know it was probably him and he was just trying to subconsciously avoid this exact situation).
and i mean. i can’t really blame him for being scared into denial. my favorite part of that scene is when nagumo and the boys are yelling at him like YUTA WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US? and in a feat of beautiful wordless storytelling the camera goes from yuta whimpering and utterly terrified, to kiryu. who’s staring at him like this
