Sneak Peek for a Beiguang fic I'm working on based in 1870 San Francisco during the Tong Wars.

– 1867 –

Her body strained as she lifted the hammer high above her head, plummeting downward and slamming into the peg, forcing the fastenings of the rail into the sleeper. She continued on, her body drenched in sweat, her tattered clothing clinging to her. Her hands stung with each impact of the hammer, the calluses always cracked and often bleeding. 

After a minute she moved on to the next fastenings. Again repeating the process over and over. She had no idea how many tracks she’d laid, had no idea of the total hours she had spent in the scorching heat. All she knew was that she got paid enough to buy food and keep herself alive. All she knew was that one day this would be over and she’d be able to move onto something better with Xiling. 

She lifted her head for a split moment, making sure not to dwell too long and be reprimanded. Her friend looked so different. The hair that she used to keep short was now long and pulled back away from her face. The body that used to be so slim, lacking any muscle was now toned and wiry under sunburnt skin. Xiling wasn’t made for this kind of work and it infuriated Beidou. Xiling didn’t belong here, and didn't deserve to be forced to work alongside her. She belonged inside, using her intelligence for the greater good, to help people. But no, she was just another ch*nk to the Ducks, a body to be used as cheap labor.

The ‘Hero’ Princess General calling herself a “senseless monster” in death whereas, the ‘demon’ Chi Chen being the petals of peach blossom in death is making me feel a lot of feelings.

from this post:

@todidot thank you!! ask and you shall receive!

Sometimes, Wu Youxuan wishes the age gap between himself and his sister was smaller. He’s almost jealous of Chen Liwei --- a twin sister, an age gap of barely anything of all, old enough to pull some weight, old enough to defend herself. An equal partner, rather than someone to take care of.

He never says this out loud. Who wants to hear it? Especially not his sister. It’s an awfully unfair thing to say “I wish you were different”. And anyway, it isn’t as if Wu Youxuan actually wishes Wu Xiying was any different. Wu Xiying is perfect the way she is: bright and clever and with a good future ahead of her --- or at least, a good future if Wu Youxuan is good enough.

“---and Teacher says there are millions of stars in the sky,” Wu Xiying chatters on. “I want to see them! But if you look up at night, there’s only five?”

“There are too many lights in the city,” Wu Youxuan says. “If it’s too bright at night, you can’t really see the stars. That’s why you only see five.”

“We have to go somewhere really dark, then.”

“Yeah. Probably outside the city.”

“We should go someday!”

Someday. Not likely any time soon. Wu Youxuan doesn’t have the money for that. It’s a struggle paying for tuition; it’s a struggle paying for the apartment; it’s a struggle even paying for food, sometimes. A trip outside the city is out of the question.

“Maybe,” Wu Youxuan allows. “When you’re older.”

Wu Xiying puffs out her cheeks. “You always say that!”

“It’s because you’re a baby,” Wu Youxuan says. “You’re so little. I don’t know how you can go anywhere when you’re this small.”

“You have a kid?”

Wu Youxuan jerks his head up.

Chen Liwei is there, casual as anything. He has a jacket thrown over his shoulder, a streak of something smeared across his cheek. Dirt? Blood?

It doesn’t really matter. What matters is that he’s looking at Wu Xiying.

“No,” Wu Youxuan says tightly. “She isn’t my kid.”

Chen Liwei waves this off. “Fine, yeah, she’s not your daughter, I can do math,” he says. “Your sister? You never said.”

Yes, well, there are a wide variety of reasons that Wu Youxuan doesn’t advertise he has a little sister.

Wu Xiying is quiet. She’s taken a half-step behind him. Good. Wu Xiying knows better than to talk to strangers.

“Yingying, Gege needs you to cover your ears,” Wu Youxuan says. “I promise I’ll tell you about this later, but right now, I really need you to listen to me.”

Wu Youxuan takes a moment to make sure Wu Xiying is actually covering her ears, and then he walks up to Chen Liwei.

“If you touch her, I’ll fucking kill you,” Wu Youxuan hisses.

nathair route: *sanity slipping away, completely dependent on vethna to keep him afloat and function as his moral compass, chronic depression that passes as total detachment from reality, always covered in blood and laughing maniacally about it, unable to understand and engage with his own emotions, self-destructive behaviours that could not be fixed with fifty years of therapy, will he even survive this, nikke and everyone else think he's evil beyond remedy*

saeha route: *ヽ(*^▽^*)ノ✿ all the timeeee i'm grateful all the timeee* *slowly healing from his trauma and learning how to trust again thanks to the power of friendship, living the gay boy dream enjoying his handsome charming boyfriend and his hot badass boyfriend, all women are queens who are ready to kill to defend him*

antigone dear antigone, defiant antigone, saint of blind loyalty and digger of graves. you wept for your father as you wept for your brothers—with tears obscuring your eyes of their faults. on your own two feet shall you walk to hades's domain because yes, the devotion to the ones you love is simply that strong. none but the law of gods shall hold you back from what you think of as divine.

orestes you are your father's son and your mother's equal. morality and justice guide your hands through every act, no matter how vile, so that society may be preserved—even if you must sacrifice yourself. what is your flesh flayed by the kindly ones over your father being avenged? matricide, when sparing your mother would lose her respect for you? there is peace at the end, orestes, but the journey to it is dark and terrible.

Irvin --What is "Academic" writing

"Each discipline whether it is English, Psychology, or History has its own key concepts and language for describing these important ways of understanding the world. Don’t fool yourself that your professors’ writing assignments are asking for your opinion on the topic from just your experience. They want to see you apply and use these concepts in your writing. Though different from a multiple-choice exam, writing similarly requires you to demonstrate your learning. So whatever writing assignment you receive, inspect it closely for what concepts it asks you to bring into your writing. "
