Swords pining for each other's cultivator is my new favorite type of pining. Love your NieYao content! <3
I don't suppose we could get Baxia or Hensheng throwing a tantrum while Jin Guangyao / Nie Mingjue are away, leaving their owners to deal with the embarrassing aftermath?
Also, do you have any recs you'd recommend with these two?
this is the exact moment Nie Huaisang realised he was going to have to start meddling in his big brother's love life (con't: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Hensheng, on the other hand, doesn't throw tantrums but WILL sulk...
#guys if we keep this up this silly little idea is going to develop an actual plot#mdzs#nieyao#jin guangyao#jgy#nie mingjue#nmj#nie huaisang#nhs#nie bros#hensheng#baxia#and thank you very much i'm glad you're enjoying it!#honestly nieyao is just SUCH an intriguing dynamic but i feel like i have a hard time filtering it in the tags...#👀 so i'm grateful for anyone who delivers it right to my doorstep. obsessed w whatever the fuck they have going on#as for recs! tbh after i started going through my bookmarks i realised the fics you recced me tend to be G and most of my favourite bookmar#...are not that ^^;;; so these may not be to you taste idk#but my favourite nieyao fic is definitely Dawn Disrupts Us by Sciosa- the whole series really but i reread that one and its sequel regularl#Three Notes (or like i love you) by Wanxin was really good for 3zun...#All Men Are The Same by mostlikelytofangirl has fantastic dramatic irony big fan and also fuck jgs#those are 3 off the top of my head but if hmu if you wanna talk fics 👍#though i feel like i'm usually the one needing to beg for nieyao recs i feel like i'm always craving more ahahaha#especially ones that fit the dynamic i prefer since there's always a range#my art#edit: to add links to the other posts since this is honestly a big of a series at this point

it takes years for terry pratchett's books to get consistently good. I would argue that the series doesn't really hit its stride until Feet of Clay, which means that pratchett was writing and being published for 12 years before he found his groove.
and I genuinely can't imagine that. in part because I do think that pratchett's publication calendar looks different than what's expected of writers today---he had about 2 books published per year for his entire career. he must have been writing furiously, and the publisher must have relatively quickly gotten these to press.
but also....I just can't imagine any modern-day publisher keeping an author on their list for twelve years, unless that author is a prestige get or a constant presence on the bestseller list. And what does it say about the state of publishing that you can't go on publishing someone's good-but-not-revelatory books until they figure out what story they're trying to tell?
#this ties into my other thoughts about the workmanlike genre writers of the 80s and 90s.#king and koontz and even grisham in the early days.#it's a world that's gone away. publishing is a different animal. still....#and I liked prior discworld novels! I think pyramids is great; as is maskarade and lords and ladies#but feet of clay hogfather jingo and carpe jugulum have the feel of someone settling into a groove#jingo is actually really very good. so is carpe jugulum.#you can feel his characters getting smarter. more alive.#(and he takes steps back too; I think thief of time is a good book but it's a little too impressed with its own plot.#and wee free men is a throwback to lords and ladies in a way that's hard to ignore even if tiffany is a delight.#night watch is still good but you know what? not as good as I remember. I prefer jingo.)#also I have figured out pratchett's ''if I handwave a bit about dreams and timelines and magic I do not have to plug this plothole'' trick#I'm mostly amused by his audacity in doing so (and can relate as someone who has maybe used the same trick...)#it's just funny.#discworld

revelations your flesh

more phoenix wright situations
#ace attorney tag#maybe i should tag this narumitsu or something. but i dont really care.#gearing up to rereading/illustrating bits of my fic i suppose...i think nick really is too dense to realise he's in love with edgeworth#without some scheming fop trying to intrude. i love villains like kristoph..villains can be fun..witnessing their pathetic folly..#or more like edgeworth would never have mentioned his feelings ever in his life if he wasn't sure phoenix reciprocates.#i want to see it this way because Falling in love during childhood with the person you're going to end up with. is not relatable#there have to be Situations that make you Realise.#as with orufrey i adore the idea of people not working out their romance with that person until their 30s+#but... i mean. even with orufrey i often think how alaira could be qifrey's ex. and oru having been pursued by noble fops through his work#there is that delicate sliver of time before orufrey start living together that such believable situations could have happened.#Then the relief of politely and amicably extricating themselves from those untenable situations#the idea of falling in love age 7 and saving your first kiss for age 35 or something is all very well but more relatable is#people realising how they really feel whilst trying something that ends up feeling wrong.#The comfort and joy of living with your dearest one as if it's platonic - much preferable to trying anything more with anyone else.#But i doubt i will ever portray that or mention it further. it is indeed very delicate to me.#and i really am an OTP FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kind of person who can barely bear to consider this anyway...NOT a polyshipper i'm afraid !#so i wouldn't mind either if they do have their first kiss in their lives age 35 with each other either. I would not mind that at all.#i love bi/gay couples apparently... bi father figures & their grumpy gay men waiting for them to work it all out...#not used to using colour in comic-style drawings..or at all..so this is messy and awkward looking..but colour is refreshing#i imagine i will go back to witch hat art soon btw. my destiny in life.#i still remember writing my nrmt fic expecting to write their first kiss & then partway through twas like Umm No. They have kissed prior.#does that really line up with this comic though... i think i had their early dinner dates/first kiss BEFORE disbarment.#so i guess this comic doesn't line up with my ficverse.... No..... U___U Oh well. sorry kris! <3

(what gender do you prefer for a whumpee, not just generally in whump)
i know that this is simplified and doesn't include all possible combinations of preference and attraction, you can't explore a lot of nuance in this format but this is probably the most complex i can get within the poll options, feel free to pick other/nuance and elaborate in the tags or discuss in comments/reblogs!
e.g if you prefer female characters in whump and arent attracted to anyone (not women or anyone else) or multiple genders excluding women, pick the 4th option if you prefer female characters and are attracted to multiple genders including women, pick the 3rd
(of course male/female characters also include trans characters)
#whump#whump poll#whump community#poll#like yeah there can be so much nuance to this - some people whump characters theyre attracted to#some find their faves attractive but arent attracted to them#and with the split attraction model theres even more complexity#and with all the fluidity and spectrum of attraction#but im still interested to see where this simplified version will go and what people think#it would also be interesting to split the options up even more like - prefer male characters & attracted to men + other genders or only men#or split up the no preference/multiple preference#but yeah this is in good faith im just curious to see what people think#there is No wrong answer except being rude about other peoples preferences#this is the torture fandom after all

sometimes it pains me that people, whether they're bigots, allies, or sometimes even other trans people, will only ever see me as trans first, and anything else second
one of my biggest fears is people remembering me for being trans, and not for being an artist, a writer, or any of my other meaningful accomplishments
"He was very good at what he did—for a trans man."
#could you at least reduce me down to being a gay man instead#I feel so much more connection to being a man that prefers the company of other men#than to my transness which feels like the most minuscule and unimportant part of my experiences personality and life#I fully understand why it becomes hugely important for others#and I'm certainly not ashamed of what I am#but it pains me so much that that's all they'll ever see#and to be totally honest I encounter this so much more WITHIN the community than without#I think a lot of people could stand to remember that the human comes before the labels

The Nanami egg episode simultaneously being about periods, losing your virginity, being gay, being a mother and being abused at the same time
#maybe there’s more interpretations ?#like when she says everyone will make fun of her and her bro saying theyre happy bc she DOESNT LAY EGGS bc u know we dont talk about assaul#or more directly Touga saying only men and women should go together#also of course when shes scared they think she’s the last to have her period#or he saying she prefers girls (for daughter)#revolutionary girl utena#rgu#nanami kiryuu#nanami#egg episode

male socialization is wild to me because when men deviate it by generally being nice to women and then get womens attention by being friendly and normal to us other men get mad and punish them for it bc they're actually meant to be domineering, rude, and misogynistic to us and if a man doesn't do that they're either gay or trying to unassumingly get with one of the women. like it blows mens minds that they can actually try and be normal and nice to women for no sexual gain, and then they punish men for deviating from it. they're like we see you're getting female attention without abusing the women?? thats wrong and also we hate u for it. like jesus men are so fucked up as a whole.
#witnessed this in my class group#two of the more 'manly' men were saying shit about one of the guys and its like#i obviously know this is common but as a girl who grew up w male friends who were always seen as gay for preferring female company#seeing it repeated in the world always still catches me off guard#like you'd think logically for het men especially maybe being nice to women would get u farther#but male socialization and the patriarchy are so insane#to be nice to a woman is to acknowledge she is human and not just a sex vessel#so when they see other men treating us like humans they get both mad and probably jealous idk what goes on in their heads but its wild

it's been pointed out on here before that a lot of terf arguments are actually rooted in sexist idealology that feminists fought and died to unnormalise decades ago and that's its own kettle of fish but one thing i also find very frustrating about this so called 'radical' feminism is that it's so... defeatist? like the moment you categorically label an entire section of society as Bad and Inherently Evil then there's also the implication that nothing can be done about it, and it completely takes all accountability away. saying all men are evil is just another way of saying boys will be boys. he raped her because he's a man. he hit her because he's a man. he didn't listen because he's a man - it's almost offensively oversimplified. there's no point trying to fix this issue in society because men are just Like That, okay! so now what? it's not like they're going anywhere, so you just accept that 50% of the population are evil and will forever treat you terribly and there's nothing to be done about it bc they're biologically predisposed to it? like is that fr the argument here? you're soooo radical for that
#this is coming from someone who used to very genuinely be a misandrist#ironically it was only when i started actually analysing my own feminism that i got MORE confrontational with men#and started respecting my boundaries a lot better BECAUSE i started holding them accountable again#like when men treat me like shit nowadays i dont just write it off as 'what did you expect? he's a man' i get MAD about it#because i EXPECT BETTER FROM THEM even if it's just tiny shit women have to deal with daily#i hold them to just as high a standard as im held to and i make them take accountability when they dont meet that#and whether you realise it or not even on a subconscious level the MOMENT you black-and-white blanket statement all men as bad#you stop holding them accountable.#like it is literally just boys will be boys. do terfs seriously not realise they're sending feminism BACKWARDS#like if a girl came to me with her trauma and people - other girls no less - tried to comfort her with 'yeah all men are evil'#id be fucking furious. like no he did that because he was a piece of shit that had it normalised to him that women arent to be respected#dont you dare let him off the hook with something as simple and uncritical as 'he's a man'#i promise you men like that will MUCH prefer a blanket statement such as 'all men are as bad as each other'#than actually being point blank told they're an abuser or a rapist. because being lumped together is comfortable and even empowering#wheras isolating their behaviour with words that are Bad and Ugly (LIKE 'rapist') is not comfortable at all and has heavy connotations#idk i dont think radical feminism is always bad on its own it can be v liberating. just terfs and misandrists that i have a problem with#dropping this post in a piranha tank and closing tumblr knowing im gonna have some thirty year old karen yelling at me within 5 mins#i probably wont respond to any terf comments bc they literally mentally exhaust me with their stupidity#but that also depends on my mood and ability to keep my mouth shut LMFAO we shall see

We just don't have enough men with long hair we need more of them
#i just think#more men would benefit from long hair#and by benefit I mean they will benefit me by serving my aesthetic and character design preferences#listen long hair gives you a frame gives you movement#sure your shoulders are nice but they'd look better with hair draped over them you feel me#also like buns and ponytails just go so well with human necks#i am having a shallow artist moment here#i need to see good shapes it's like food for me

NGL, the fact that queer Tumblr's and queer Twitter's hatred of twinks is barely distinguishable from cishet men's hatred of queer femme men is... funny... in a nastily ironic way.
#lgbt#lgbtq#lgbtqia#gay#lesbian#I guess my patience for the anti-twink and anti-femboy brainrot has officiallt worn thin because#besides my preference for pretty men#I had more than my fill of rabid terfs hounding trans women and it's like#congrats y'all you sound exactly like terfs and log cabin republicans#I can guess that it would not take much for you guys to switch to the#lgb without the tq crowd#if most of you aren't there already#can you guys handle your insecurities and body image issues without trying to hound folks who happen to be thinner and more femme?#can you guys not be aggressively stupid?#like do you guys know how deranged you sound going “twink death twink death twink death! yay now you don't look beautiful and young and now#you're ugly and unwanted!“ you sound like you're cheering on the downfall of a former popular high school prom queen which like#you never gotten over being bullied in high school? you didn’t work that out with a therapist? you're pushing thirty fam stop trying to#appeal to the cishets

I ended up being too lazy to edit the shitposts properly but I just need everyone to know that there are Multiple ships introduced in 97 that this could apply to is really funny to me. Someone on the writing team was into dilfs I think
#💛#x-men 97#about rogueneto and morpherine specifically#thought morpherine is more up in the air morph honestly looks younger in 97 than they did in TAS#but yknow shapeshifter maybe they just prefer looking like a 20-something while disguised#wolverine would be old enough to be their dad regardless hes like 200 years old but you get me#rogue and magneto speaks for itselfNDJAHDJ#ty again sparks for finding the meme for me

makerspace ily!!!
(makerspace is a room at Otakon that has tons of craft supplies) / referenced off of Starember’s manhua panels
references:
my first sketch attempt which i fucked up horrifically and abandoned:
#i drew these with a pencil a dying eraser crayola markers a ballpoint pen a white pastel and love in my heart#i used my phone as reference#after the fact i checked them. theyre all fine when flipped and surprisingly accurate to the originals#in fact i made their faces wider and eyes smaller in a way i actually prefer cause they look more like grown men 😅#i've never actually posted physical art on here enjoy#tgcf#hualian#hua cheng#xie lian#sketch#doodle#tian guan ci fu#heaven official’s blessing#hob#art#my art#mxtx#starember#otakon#makerspace

No no, I don't think sex is bad because it's evil and dangerous, I'm not a puritan. I think sex is bad because its something men like to do, because they're evil and dangerous. Completely different.
#spitblaze says things#obligatory </joke>#some of u jumped ship directly from christianity to leftism without taking the time to deconstruct#what exactly the issues with your christian upbringing are#like just forget 'men and masculinity are not inherently evil and i dont mean in an mra way i mean check urself for terf brainworms'#for a second.#its fine to want sex. its fine to NOT want sex. neither is a more morally or ethically pure stance than the other. its personal preference#wanting to have sex is about as ethically dubious as having a favorite color. relax#nobody did anything lol i saw a post lamenting the anti-sex sentiments in a lot of online wlw spaces#and how much of it is bc 'it makes me no better than a man' as if that means anything#ladies. go cruise at lesbian bars. its fine. be free#anyway if a terf/swerf rbs this in complete seriousness im gonna kill everyone here and then myself#just kidding. im only gonna kill the terf
