how are you gonna be 31 and posting fandom content bro leave it to the teenagers
People 10 and 20 years older than me are writing your favorite fanfics, and drawing your favorite characters. You'd have no fandom without the people you think are 'too old' to have hobbies.

I don't know what those '90s sci Fi TV writers were putting in their shows but I wish they'd start doing it again

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!
(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)
Share what you got!
#reblog#oh so we're doing A Bowl of Mac and Cheese book titles#anyway house of glass#like idk depends on what genre it is and what its about? lol. the title doesn't actually say much.

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice
#reblog#whispers also the other moral of the story is that there's lots of old tv that is good.#you can watch it! you don't have to only watch new things!#in my case lmao most of the live action tv i bother to watch anymore is old already completed shit#bc they cancel everything now and i don't trust like that. talk to me again when it's finished lol.#or at least already cancelled and not on a fucking cliffhanger or something. so i can go in prepared.#... i haven't gotten around to checking out miami vice lol. it's been on my 'maybe??' list for like almost a decade.

#reblog#HUH. well. ok. yes? kind of.#the last thing i ORDERED. which was toasted barley for mugicha. that's fucking easy.#'its grain for making a tisane!' and they nod sagely and move on.#i also ordered a bottom-dispensing teapot around the same time. also fairly easy to explain.#however the last thing i actually received in the mail was a fixed version of something i ordered way before that.#a dust cover for my 3ds game card slot. the initial one didn't fit right. turns out it was bc the creator and i both didn't know#that the shape is slightly different in the 'new nintendo 3ds' (which i have) vs the original.#they sent me a replacement after they got around to finding a 3ds to size a new design with (it was 3d printed).#anyway no fucking way i could explain that.

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.


HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.


They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.



They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).


Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.
Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.
The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.
