The Great Cupcake Caper

Glynda: *storms out of her office* Everyone, front and center, NOW!!!!

Ren/Pyrrha/Yang: *scramble to the center of the room and stand at attention* 😰

Glynda: *stalking up and down the line* I was just in my office, about to enjoy a delicious red velvet gourmet cupcake as a reward to myself for the CONSTANT mayhem I have to deal with on a daily basis…

Glynda: But when I opened the box…I FOUND NOTHING.

Glynda: Someone in this room took my cupcake, and nobody is going anywhere until the cupcake thief confesses!

Interrogation #1:

Glynda: *leans over the table* …and where were YOU when my cupcake was being stolen?!

Ren: I didn’t take your cupcake! I wasn’t even here!

Ren: I was at home, slow-roasting a Mistral duck for my son’s lunch tomorrow! It’s a 24-hour process! 😤

Interrogation #2:

Glynda: *steeples her fingers and leans back* …Pyrrha, I’m not angry…I just want to understand. Please, tell me what you know.

Pyrrha: I’m sorry ma’am, but I didn’t see anything! I actually left early to go to the gym for a session on the cardio machines.

Pyrrha: It’s my anniversary tomorrow, and Jaune’s making an elaborate romantic dinner! Pyrrha’s gotta EARN those calories! 🥰

Interrogation #3:

Glynda:*folds her arms* All right, tough biker girl, why’d you do it?

Yang: *also folds her arms and matches Glynda’s glare* I didn’t do anything. Couldn’t have! I was in the garage changing the oil on my bike for a solo bike ride this weekend.

———————————————————

Glynda: *standing at the front of conference room, gazing out the window* Well…it seems all of you have an alibi…

Ren/Pyrrha/Yang: 😮‍💨

Glynda: *rounds on the room* EXCEPT YOU DON’T!! 😡

Glynda: Ren, I pulled your credit card history, and you know what wasn’t on any of your grocery receipts? DUCK!

Ren: …

Ren: …all right, fine…!

Ren: All Magna wants to eat and drink is plain milk and buttered noodles!

Ren: *face in his hands* …my son is a basic bitch! 😩

Glynda: …okay…

Glynda: *points at Pyrrha* …but that doesn’t change the fact that YOU, Mrs. Muscles, couldn’t POSSIBLY have been working out last night, because your gym was closed yesterday for renovations and won’t reopen for the next week!

Pyrrha: *crumbles* I’m sorry! I was running around town looking for a last-minute anniversary gift for Jaune! I forgot all about it until he hinted that he had something special planned!

Pyrrha: I just didn’t want anyone to know that I’m a terrible wife and partner…! 😭

Glynda: *turns to Yang* …so, that leaves you…!

Glynda: If you’re really going on a cross-country trip, why is your motorcycle’s tank only half full?! J’accuse!

Yang: You dipsticked me?!

Glynda: Spill it!

Yang: …fine! I admit it!

Yang: I’m not actually going on a solo motorcycle trip, I’m going to see a musical with Blake and my parents!

Yang: *opens her jacket to reveal a CATS t-shirt*

Yang: I’m trying to reconnect with my mom, and I’m introducing Blake to my dad at the same time! Musicals are the only thing we can all bond over…

Yang: I just want my family and my girlfriend to all get along! 😢

Glynda: …so…

Glynda: …if none of you sad sacks took my cupcake, then who did?

Weiss: *carefully backing out of the room while frantically wiping red crumbs off her face* 😅

I finished Lost You Forever Season 2 last night and I'm still not okay. I knew Xiang Liu's ending was going to be devastating at least to me (having read the novel and him being my favorite character) but I didn't expect it to start with this scene and continue until his end.

Tan Jianci did an amazing job, he really brought Xiang Liu to life.

We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

           Morpheus, the Greek God of Dreams.            He is the chair of the Faculty of Arts at Phoenix University.

FC NAME/GROUP:  Xiao Zhan/Xiao Sean GOD NAME:  Morpheus PANTHEON:  Greek OCCUPATION:  Mount Phoenix University Chair of Liberal Arts DEFINING FEATURES:  Midnight eyes reflect the night sky, stars behind his gaze like a universe is inside him.  Mysteriously always seems just a bit taller than his company regardless of whom they may be.  Carries with him an otherworldly and pleasant scent that is an ethereal blend of poppies, lavender, sweet vanilla, heliotrope, chamomile, and valerian root.  Soft spoken and comforting, baritone voice that is like a purr and barely above a whisper.  Though shoulder-length hair is usually kept in a messy bun, the strands tend to always appear as though they are floating in water.

PERSONALITY:  Gentle and whimsical are generally the first words that come to mind when interacting with Morpheus, though one may also notice a bit of melancholy that he covers well with a smile.  Despite how charming he may seem, there exists elements that are clearly reserved and introverted–however, he does come across as rather friendly.  Morpheus responds very well to creative individuals who enjoy the literary and performing arts.  He certainly has a soft spot for children (especially HIS children).  However, given how exhausting it is for him to maintain a physical form in the Waking Realm, he is aware that his lack of true tangibility is annoying to some, though he attempts to make up for this with his vivid illusions.  When he feels actions must be taken–or if he feels very strongly about something–he will not hesitate.  Despite his quiet demeanor, Morpheus experiences emotions very deeply and often internalizes what he feels.  Though he certainly knows how to delegate to his brothers, it is quite the weight to bear when it comes to managing the collective consciousness of all living beings which leads to him being fairly introspective and quiet, and at times it may seem that he is not paying attention or that his mind is elsewhere.  It is not uncommon for him to disappear mid-conversation or to leave a situation unresolved in favor of tending to ‘something more important’–though, if he is with someone he respects, he will excuse himself prior to departure.

It is nearly impossible to determine whether or not Morpheus is physically present in the moment or if he is subsisting through the consciousness of his company and those surrounding to create an elaborate illusion, making it seem as though he is there when he is not.  However, he does have a few ‘tells’ that give away which is the truth.  When he is not present, both his apartment and his office at the university are completely barren, just empty spaces; but when he is there, visitors are practically transported to another realm, the interior becoming however he wills it to be.

HISTORY:  In times primordial, Hypnos had a thousand sons.  The Oneiroi resided primarily in the caves of Lemnos with their father in a pocket realm near the mouth of the Underworld.  Out of a thousand brothers, one demonstrated phenomenal skills above them all and was chosen as their leader.  Thus, Morpheus was deemed the king as only he had the power to influence and shape the dreams of the gods.  Such power made him both feared and beloved, but overall respected as even Zeus had confessed he feared Nyx and her brood, and the essence of his grandmother could be seen each time one looked within the eyes of the dream king to see the night sky.

Beyond his brothers, his first friend was a beautiful goddess named Leto; the goddess befell unfortunate circumstances (as many ladies did) at the whim of Zeus and, once discovered to be pregnant, earned the ire of Hera who then forbade any land to harbor the goddess as a giant serpent chased her out to sea.  To protect his friend, Morpheus created an island between realms to serve as a sanctuary for her as she gave birth to and raised her twin children, Apollo and Artemis.  Though with his friend and her children safe, Morpheus directed his own anger toward Olympus and both Zeus and Hera were promptly reminded just WHY the brood of Nyx should be feared as the king of the Oneiroi reigned terror upon the dreams of the gods, refusing to let them wake from a seemingly eternal nightmare until Zeus apologized to Leto for his transgressions and then to Hera for his infidelity.

Morpheus, being the only among the Oneiroi with the ability to influence the dreams of kings, was the architect and orchestrator behind the dreams of many influential persons throughout history, sometimes even appearing in the dreams personally to deliver a message in the guise of a familiar face.  Agamemnon, Phillip II, Alexander III, Pericles, Solon, Leonidas I…all of their dreams purposefully curated by Morpheus per the decree of the goddess of Wisdom and War, Athena, another deity who he greatly respected and even more so admired for her ingenuity and creativity.  Like his friend Iris, he served as a messenger for the gods.

Though he primarily spent his time in the Dreaming realm, he was not without love of his own, occasionally meeting and bonding with a beautiful mind; rarely, he would cross the bridge into the Waking world to spend time with them which did result in a child on more than one occasion.  In times more modern, a new island sanctuary for demigods had been created, one that would become a home for those who needed a place to belong, a place for guidance.  Morpheus ultimately opted to aid in the education of young demigods by becoming the Liberal Arts chair at Mount Phoenix University, advising young creative minds toward goals best suited to balance both needs and talent.

POWERS: 

Master Illusionist–Able to craft extremely vivid illusions affecting all the senses to lead one to believe it is reality.

Dream Architect–Constructs and manipulates dreams in their entirety, from setting to cast to plot; he may change this however he sees fit.

Subconscious Tap–As dreams come from the subconscious, he is able to interpret what someone is trying to convey when words fail, leaving spoken language unnecessary.

Realm Shift–Able to shift between reality and the Dreaming via the subconscious of his company, leaving one to question whether he is truly present or a figment of their imagination.

Somnolence Manipulation–The ability to put someone to sleep or to wake them from sleep.

STRENGTHS: Creative, wise, compassionate, charming, natural leader WEAKNESSES:  Dark, brooding, elusive, aloof, intangible

Finished watching Ultimate Note and unsurprisingly there are many loose ends, but it was still a satisfying watch.

And like. I did not go into any of these Graverobber's Chronicles adaptations looking for ships, but they happened anyway. The characters just had the kind of dynamics that press all the right buttons, and such great chemistry.

I'd like to write some kind of intelligent review but brain is made of goo and fixating on What Next???

I'm torn between moving onto the next drama chronologically (Tomb of the Sea, which is the first one I watched lol) skipping that and going on to the next I haven't watched (Reunion: The Sound of the Providence) or just... diving into AO3 to see what tasty meals are on offer.

Or raiding tumblr tags. Hm.

Pyrrha: *emerges from bathroom holding a pregnancy test* Negative again…! 😭

Jaune: *sighs* Damn…

Pyrrha: Why is this so hard?! We’ve been trying to get pregnant for MONTHS…! 😫

Jaune: Well, sometimes it takes a while to get pregnant, I guess…? I’m sure plenty of couples have trouble. 😔

Taiyang: *hugging Willow around her shoulders* Attention everyone! This is Willow Schnee, my new girlfriend!

Taiyang: We just found out we’re having a baby! You’re all invited to our wedding! 😁

Willow: 🥰

Everyone: 😦

Pyrrha: Oh, ROT IN HELL!!!!! 🤬

Some clips from the cosplay episode of X-Nine Channel, which gave us the gift of Xiao Zhan in a wig and robes for the first time.

In which the boy wizard cosplayer is unsurprisingly popular and Wu Jiacheng is overcome by how good Xiao Zhan looks in costume.

[Xiao Zhan in costume on the left with OG Bai Zihua on the right.]

The photo on the left played a pivotal part in Xiao Zhan getting cast as Wei Wuxian, which proves that even a show as absurd as X-Nine Channel can lead to good things.
