I've been thinking of a soulmates style au wherein hualian discover they are soulmates after XL saves HC as a child.

In this AU meeting your soulmate is incredibly rare and very auspicious, so even though HC is a commoner he is recognized as XL's future spouse and taken into the care of the royal family, but sequestered away from XL to maintain decorum. They see each other now and again, and interact during events and gatherings, but otherwise are kept separated. HC is delighted and pines and generally dreams of the day he gets to officially marry XL and be his wife.

(I like to personally use the term 'wife' in danmei specifically to mean 'the spouse that marries into the home of the other', so as he is marrying into XL's home, he would be the bride in this scenario.)

XL ascends, as in canon. Unlike in canon, when a soulmate ascends, so too does your soulmate, and HC ascends with XL.

XL also descends and falls from godhood, as in canon. Ever so magnanimous, JW ~kindly~ allows HC to stay in heaven upon XL's request, as HC didn't break any rules. HC is, however, bound to the heavens, unable to descend to seek out XL.

Centuries pass, and HC becomes known as a God of constancy, faithfulness, and marriage. He is regarded with both awe and pity. Poor HC, who remains loyal to a faithless god of misfortune. Isn't it incredible, how much he is willing and able to endure to uphold the sanctity of his marriage vows? He has a large faction of worshippers, mostly brides and wives in arranged, unhappy marriages, who pray to him for strength.

Few, if any, remember that Xianle fell before HC had the chance to marry XL. That all this time he has remained steadfast and true to his fiancé, rather than his husband. The gods that do look upon him with scorn and judgment. No one expects him to remain loyal to the likes of XL, so who does he think he is putting on this show for?

It doesn't matter what those gods, or even what his worshippers think of him, however. HC is loyal to XL out of love, and devotion. He is not suffering out of obligation. His only pain is that felt by his fiancé, and the pain of separation forced upon him.

And despite what the gods and his worshippers assume, he is not a long-suffering bride who sits and pines for his beloved. While he yearns for the day he can reunite with XL, HC spends his time playing the long-con. After all, is the keeping of house and home not one of the primary roles of any good wife? And the heavens are so steeped in filth. Certainly not worthy of his husband to be.

As for XL, he strives and toils to regain his godhood under the weight of his lost worshippers and the scorn of the gods who once praised him.

More than that, he worries, often, about HC, and his misplaced loyalty. Every now and then XL hears another tale of HC's endless, unshakeable loyalty, but with those tales also come stories of that devotion being nothing more than a shackle. Nothing is ever said of HC's love for his husband, or HC's happiness, only his impressive endurance in the face of obligation to a worthless husband. XL fears that HC is little more than a long suffering would-be bride, held back by XL's mistakes and the fate that bound them together without either of their say.

So XL does his best to regain his godhood, so that he may re-enter heaven and finally free HC from himself for good.

When, after 800 years, XL finally ascends once again, nothing is as he had expected it to be. There is a crowd, but no one is casting judgment or disparaging him. Instead, it seems as though he has ascended amidst the start of a lavish celebration.

As XL stands amidst a sea of joyful revelry, a procession slowly makes its way towards him, and at its end, a bridal sedan.

When the sedan stops before him and a hand moves aside its curtain, XL reaches out to grasp it without thinking. Gently, he leads the bride off of the sedan and onto solid ground.

XL looks up at a veil of opaque crimson silk. He cannot see the face behind it, does not even know, after all this time, what HC would even look like... But in this moment he knows, unquestionably, that this is not just any bride, but his bride.

Part of XL recalls that one of his main reasons to rise to godhood again was to let HC go, to finally allow him freedom from the weight of being tethered to someone like XL. And yet, any thoughts of breaking his vows to HC dry up in his mouth. He has thought of so many ways to say it, so many ways to cut HC loose of him without bringing HC any more pain, but he cannot bring himself to say any of them.

The hand in his grasp turns, and laces their fingers together. His bride's hand is strong, XL observes as though from a distance, unflinching and sure.

"Hello, gege," HC says. His voice is deeper than XL remembers, richer and more vibrant than anything he has experienced for decades, if not centuries. 

"Ah, San Lang, I'm sorry, " he manages to force out through his shock. His laugh is pitchy and uneven even to his own ears. "I'm afraid I'm not quite prepared...!"

"It's okay, gege." A thumb carasses his knuckles tenderly, and XL's throat tightens. "I already have everything ready for us."

also like atp the biggest conspiracy theories for how the world works (shadow government or simulation theory mostly) are just. religion. you've just taken religion and replaced god(s) with the illuminati or whoever's running the simulation you supposedly live in. you think you're taking back control by being aware of this but really you've just gave it up by admitting you don't actually have any, and that your life is in the hands of a group of people rather than a higher being

AND this is funny as hell to hear from smug atheists who think they're better for not believing in god. babe you literally do you just gave it a different name. instead of saying "god works in mysterious ways" you just make some shit up abt how They want to control all of us for... something. that depends on the person actually

[earthspark-shockwaves-reduction]

actually I find it so funny that they made a whole new bot named aftermath instead of actually showing the aftermath of s1

I don't think pit madness is WHY Jason decided to become a serial killing mafia boss, I think he just did that shit your honour.

but I do think it probably played a factor in how he could have been manipulated into such extreme behaviours given the circumstances

"Is that odd?"

The fact that its now being rumored/gossiped that the HP reboot resorted to open casting calls because they failed to get any famous child actors to play the leads and very likely do the same with other kid characters and even the adults (if they don't resort to getting the worst adults in hollywood) because its being rumored/gossiped even adult actors are hard to get on board, all due to JKR, has me like:

...So essentially, they preying on kids right now who aren't actors and either want to be an actor or being dragged into the audition by their parents wanting a big break (or because they a potterhead who forces their shit onto their kids)??? That's just fucking great.

asked the martial arts subreddit if there’s any martial arts that i can do solo + are good for anger management and i’ve already gotten a comment saying “erm you shouldn’t use martial arts for violent impulses, even on a heavy bag, maybe try yoga or therapy instead” like bitch. 1) therapy doesn’t work for everyone and it sure doesn’t work for me, and even if it did, a scheduled weekly therapy appointment would do nothing to let out pent-up frustration and excess energy when an anger episode hits me at random. like shit i really want to throw and break shit right now, good thing i’ve got a meeting to talk about my feelings in 5 business days 😑. 2) if i even thought about yoga during one of my anger episodes, the suggestion alone would piss me off even more. i’m not gonna do deep breathing and meditation when i want to break my fucking hand. this is pmdd we’re dealing with babe, a calm and rational and mindful outlet is not gonna work here

I had to make a chart to explain to my therapist why ive been bouncing between working on these specific stories over the last few weeks because "they are all part of the same family tree, no theres no relation between the characters, the Stories are what's related" wasn't a clear way to describe the connection between them

anyways my war on the concept of little red riding hood continues.
