I just saw a post talking of the Black Water Arc and got inspired, but it disappeared into ether before I could interact with it.

Anyways, here's something I always wanted to be cleared out about He Xuan.

Black Water Arc spoilers | Tgcf Book 3 spoilers | White-No-Face reveal spoilers

He Xuan was NOT deliberate in befriending Shi Qingxuan in his plan of revenge. He did not even know SQX was tied to any of it.

He Xuan, immediately upon death, knew only one thing for certain, the heavens had something to do with it. He did not know what, he did not know who. It is cleared upon after the Bai Wuxiang reveals, that He Xuan learning of his fate was a part of Jun Wu's plan. Jun Wu wanted the other powerful heavenly officials weakened and out of his way. So, along with Jun Wu guiding XL to quests that specifically resulted in Pei Ming's loss of power, he also orchestrated a way to bring Shi Wudu down. So he let it slip to He Xuan that it was the water master who destroyed his life and it was him that HX needed revenge against. And this was done only right before the events leading to the Black Water Arc.

Yes He Xuan was driven, for the five hundred or so years, by revenge but it wasn't particular, it wasn't direct. He spent his time in the heavens spying in every possible gods in every possible direction, with hundreds of clones. It was Shi Qingxuan who decided to take particular liking to the Earth Master and be "best friends". So I believe that the centuries of their friendship (or more) was not disingenuous for He Xuan.

In most fan fics and interpretations, it is shown that when He Xuan "likes" or "builds a relationship" with Shi Qingxuan, it's with the prior knowledge that they are in his path of revenge. And I find that so cruel and not in character for He Xuan. Knowing the kind of person He Xuan was in life, how are we to believe he would be so cruel to allow SQX to love him, fully knowing what end awaits them? To ascend is human, to fall is also human. Hei Shui (Black Water) is still He Xuan in death.

Thus, whatever the nature of their relationship was, I maintain He Xuan wouldn't do that (and it would be so especially cruel if their relationship was intimate). This is further shown in his desperate attempts to make Shi Qingxuan see what his brother had done to the scholar he once was, to fall out of support for his brother, to just be fair and safe !

He revenge for Shi Wudu is righteous, it is fair and it is poetic, even. But the end to his and SQX, isn't fair to anyone. In the end they had to be on oppsite sides, as SQX chooses Shi Wudu (and of course they do, Shi Wudu is the parent that cared for them for their entire existence!). And that is a betrayal for He Xuan.

All of this is to say, He xuan loved Shi Quan too, he did not know Shi Qingxuan was someone connected to his destruction, and thus SQX (and him, as well) were just collateral damage in his oath of damage. He Xuan was not cruel and calculating with SQX from the beginning (well he was, but in a deceiving everyone in heavens with false identity and ulterior motives way, NOT in a I know I'm going to cause you unimaginable hurt in the future but will still let you form emotional and/or intimate connection with me way. )

lately i've been finding it so so hard to be positive and hopeful. and it's making me so bitter and hateful. i hate it but i dont know what to do about it

[fleshdyke]

i know its a joke but my autistic brain is going wild at that raccoon vs goose post. why would u ever take a raccoon in a fight over a goose. geese are mean sure but theyre FINE like theyre not really gonna do much damage. the most you’ll get from a goose attack is like a bruise and MAYBE a small cut if it claws you on a spot with no clothes covering skin. the most you’ll get from a raccoon attack is rabies and die

[yardsards]

living in america is literally just like. yeah i could probably benefit from inpatient mental health services but honestly the resulting medical bills would just make me want to kill myself even more

In the universe in which Bruce Wayne and Joker are in a public relationship and are a power couple, I gots some thoughts.

So, Bruce visits Joker in Arkham or whatever. Like brings him flowers or something, I dunno. And someone says something about how they cannot BELIEVE billionaire Bruce Wayne would spend his time with someone who is mentally unstable enough to be in Arkham. Well, said someone's buisness suddenly fails when for some unbeknownst reason, Wayne Enterprises stop financially supporting said buisness.

Some time later, Joker and Bruce are at a gala. Bruce Wayne expierences autism 100 moment and someone goes ableism about it. Just a passing comment. And then after the rich socialite party, maybe two nights after, Joker doesn't kill them, but he sure does psychological torture.

I am pleased to find that all the people who said that Book 2 of The Wingfeather Saga was much better than Book 1 were very right.

Sobbing in bed because I'm writing a Ulysses fic and I'm caught between him killing the Courier because they are willfully giving up all the people they love and all the good they've done in the Mojave and he wanted them dead and gone-

And him just telling them they don't belong in the Divide with him. Not them, not their soft heart.

"You need to go home," Ulysses would say.

The courier would just laugh.

"Go home, Courier," they mumble. "Your signs. I have them all marked on my Pip-Boy. I don't even know why, but I mark all of the ones I find."

They traverse the Divide KNOWING Ulysses will kill them.

They take off their armour and keep only their finest, best combat knife and a gun on them with enough ammo to get them to Ulysses and to give him a third bullet to put in their skull alongside the two from Benny.

They offer him their knife, their gun, and the option for him to kill them with his bare hands.

Willingly. Selflessly. Painfully.

"I could never hate you, Ulysses. Not for this, never for this. I will never be mad at you for this."

And he's caught.

They're a godsend to this place, so much good they've done.

Does he kill them? Or does he bridge the Divide?

Maybe they go home. Maybe he kills them.

And maybe, after everyone back home knows they're okay... Maybe they do belong here, in the Divide, with Ulysses.
