We Successfully Rescued A Tiefling Child From Harpies ...

Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead

New Chapter:

Shi Qingxuan is exhausted. He wants to have time to think - but mostly, he wants to be alone with He Xuan.

(I'm a day early this week because tomorrow I won't be able to post at a reasonable time by the looks of it.)

I have fought and lost a small internal battle today. The result will be a Huaibao oneshot. I'm going to read through it tomorrow and send it to my beta as a surprise. Once it's back, I'll post it to Ao3. The name will be Nothing Sweeter Than His Peace.

Okay I know I reblogged this yesterday BUT IT MISSED THE NIE BRAIDS UNDER A-YAO'S HAT AND NOW I CAN'T.

@little-meowyao They're swords, they tend to be rather literal about this sort of thing u.u

Nothing like a fifteen hundred foot trust exercise between two people who absolutely do not trust each other, one of which has very good reason to fear long falls!!

Dye Their Flowers With My Blood - Made Weak by Time and Fate

Some things cannot be forgiven.

Reblogging and signing. Conversion therapy is a terror on the face of the world. One I nearly lost a very dear person to due to suicide. It's evil, and I never use that word lightly.

Tagging this with gay fandoms sorry

There's currently a European proposition to ban conversion practice in Europe

If you're European please sign it

If you're not please reblog

Edit 2: It's EU not Europe sorry

As one of the people who voted for Jin Guangyao - I want to make it very clear that this wasn't meant as a Nie Mingjue diss OR because I believe Jiggy is promiscuous. He's not. I re-read the passage where people said he was faithful while slavering for his blood only yesterday. (Which, considering he couldn't touch his wife, is saying something.) ((Shoutout to Wei Ying, who thinks - okay, knows - Jin Guangyao is guilty as sin as far as Nie Mingjue and their trip to the Burial Mounds is concerned, but STILL realises that this lynch mob dynamic is horrid and exactly what happened to him and STILL tries to keep this fair and Sect Leader Yao under control. I really adore all of those people, oh God. I mean, not all. Not Sect Leader Yao. He's a piece of work.)) I love Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao. I'd never be mean to them. But the previous tags include the words 'speech check' and now I can't help thinking about 3zun as some weirdly escalating DnD session and I think I need help.

So my verdict is as follows: Eventually, they'd all be really good at it, if we think of a universe where they pass these speech checks and end up together. They'd want each other to feel good, which is a good starting point, and they know each other well.

I think Jin Guangyao would have restraints. I don't see him calling someone names during sex, even if that person would want that. I think he's heard too much of that in a very bad way to do that and wouldn't be able to separate real demeaning behaviour from play.

I think Lan Xichen would take too much care of the others and too little of himself, meaning they have to make sure he gets what he needs. At least at first. I like to think he'd learn to be a little selfish and the other two would just LOVE it when that happens.

I think Nie Mingjue would be extremely careful. He's strong and he knows he's not mentally okay. He'd have a hard time relaxing and letting himself fall. When he does, he'd be very passionate and probably an incredible lover.

In essence, I think all three would be extremely good at providing the other two pleasure and borderline horrible at chasing their own.

I can't believe those are words I have typed.

Malding abt that 3zun sex poll again. Come the fuck on guys just bc JGY knows the most about sex does not mean he's the best in bed. Like sure he knows the most about the physical act but emotionally this means the opposite in his case. He grew up in a brothel with, textually, really terrible worker protections. One of his fundamental character traits is accepting the way violence trickles down in society as a fact of life. He's the most likely out of all of them to have a panic attack in the middle of the act. All of them have "sex is inherently exploitative" worms to some extent but JGY's worms are the most material and specific. Nielan are inexperienced and skittish jocks the biggest problem you will have is calming them down enough to get them to consider that they can perhaps ethically fuck and then getting LXC to communicate consistently enough. Sleeping with JGY is a Silent Hill boss fight every time. He's not even significantly more experienced than Nielan he is NOT sleeping around. Come the fuck on. JGY may understand the mechanics of the act but he's the lay that gives you mental illnesses

We found a book, but nothing to open it with.

We also met a bunch of chatty ogres, and I intend to ask them for help.

Why not.

Lae'zel is nervous.

At least someone is kind.

... Ouch.

How bad is it that I know exactly which episode and scene the TOS pic is?

to demonstrate the issues with spock’s characterization in certain star trek adaptations i’ve made this convenient chart

as you can see here, recent spock iterations simply are not serving enough cunt

we can clearly see that snw spock is at a critically low level of cuntiness, whereas aos spock does have noticeable cunt. however, it is negligible seeing as tos spock was already off the charts in cuntiness.

But ... that read is complete inane?? As in ... single-brain-cell level? It says explicitly in the text that while the Jin clan BUILT the watch towers, they are manned by members of several sects EACH?* Exactly BECAUSE Jin Guangyao doesn't want to recreate the supervisory offices? Trust me on re-reading I paid an inordinate amount of attention to everything Jin Guangyao does. This was a good thing for everyone (except people near Yi city, which by total coincidence *cough* had no watchtower near it).

And let's just say that this is a great point to prove how useful they were? Because shit like that didn't go down in other places that did have one.

*Exact words from 7 seas, volume 2, page 183: "These watchtowers were distributed in remote and impoverished lands, and every watch tower was allocated a number of sect disciples from various clans."

gonna be honest here chief a lot of "uhhhh Ackshually the watchtowers are Bad because xyz" does not read like you guys critically analyzing the text or even drawing from irl historical precedent.....but rather you guys seething and coping that jgy (the villain!!!!!! who is Bad!!!!!!!! excuse you!!!!!!!) dared do something that could possibly be described as having a positive impact on the world

If anyone ever wonders why I left the Abramamitic religions behind me in favour of some weird form agnostic omnism with strong pagan leanings, read the answers to that one. So much earnestness for what can't be proven, so much fervour for old story books. Oh boy. With someone who hasn't done this entire Catholic thing any more for almost two decades, this is bizarre.

I mean. I did consider myself Catholic, I even considered joining a convent, but it NEVER occurred to me to call pagans satanic or any such things. This is the kind of attitude that turned me off the whole thing. (Apart from the bits that say 'I am the only god' and 'I am jealous of all the other gods that TOOOOTALLY don't exist' thing that makes ZERO sense and is toxic af. I don't want anything to do with jealous people, human or otherwise, they can stay the hell away from me. I ain't doing this.)

That the person in question is not even Christian doesn't matter. All three are the same thing to me. Same sky daddy, same arbitrary rules that made some sense back in the day and none now, same fervour in the followers that gobble up what they're fed by the higher-ups in their particular brand of the 'I love you but if you step a toe out of line I'll destroy you even beyond death' cult. They were when I liked them and they are when I'm glad to be out.

Boy. I really don't like them any more it seems.

Edit: I mean, it's poetic, in a way. I used to wear a gold chain with a small cross, Star of David, and crescent to signify that they have the same value and worth, and then I started, little by little, to resent all three. That process took many years. And then, one day, my chain broke. I was really sad and decided to have it fixed. I noticed in time and didn't lose any of the pendants. I never had it fixed. I know now I never will. The broken chain is a symbol in itself. I am lost to them and they are to me.

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite
