THIS IS SO GOOD.

C'mon, we need to catch up! Some of the tags are so angry, haha. Viktuuri needs to win everything, it's in the name!

The Anime Binge-Watcher's Queer Anime Ship Tournament!

The second round rages on! This match-up has me absolutely terrified that my number-one pick is going to be crushed by the titan that is Victuuri. But I can hold out hope, right? Right??? Cast your votes now!

All Round 2 Match-Ups

Rules and Full Bracket

We had an uninvited visitor ...

... found bone daddy ...

... and had a very brief chat with an Owlbear. I didn't fight her. It didn't seem right.

We saw through the illusion at the swamp, but didn't yet go there.

We freed a gnome (despite the fact that I almost got the wrong lever ...) ...

... and walked in on a situation. Sadly, they were so unamused I had no choice but to attack.

And at the end, we woke up to a set of very sharp teeth. Because he told us he'll be able to fight better, we let him drink. A little.

I want the golden dice. I haven't tried Tactician and I don't have a guide. Yes, I know this is a bad idea and I'll need one eventually.

ANYWAY, meet Black Water, borrowed from Heaven Official's Blessing because Honour Mode needs a) pragmatic character and b) someone who can die and come back because I want to do this with one person.

In that vein, the first autosave is secured elsewhere. This is the only time I'm doing it, I just don't want to go back to character creation.

Let's see how this goes.

It's bloody 7 A.M. and I was not ready for this.

it just wasn’t meant to be

Dye Their Flowers With My Blood - That Untravell’d World

A mental exercise to purge concern.

Dye Their Flowers With My Blood - Subdue Them to the Useful and the Good

Finding a traitor for beginners.

Dye Their Flowers With My Blood - The Long Day Wanes

Some nights are very long, and not for good reasons.

Minshan's middle name is Upset.

He's in your room what do you do.

Sorry I didn't know what to do with this photo.

Wait, people say WHAT now? Did we read the same book? There are so many legitimate reasons to dislike Jin Guangyao - trust me, my best friend has listed all of them to me as if I didn't know myself - that there is no need to make up new ones.

Look. I don't think anyone is (unironically) saying that man hasn't done anything wrong. But this is the kind of stuff that I'd respond to with, 'Whatever you say, Sect Leader Yao', because no-one with more sense than him could have come up with that tripe.

It's fascinating. Apparently people completely fall for the unreliable narrator - even though Wei Wuxian says that the stuff happening to Jin Guangyao is the same mob mentality that got him killed and that they're trying to pin everything that ever went wrong in all of history on him, no matter if it's true or not.

"actually jgy harassed mxy and then framed mxy" is fucking wild bc consider:

wwx got the account "mxy harassed jgy" from mxy's own writings. if things were actually the other way around and mxy got framed then don't you think that mxy's writings would have mentioned that. like mxy's diary entries were all about how everyone persecuted him and how his life was miserable, so if mxy actually were framed don't you think his This Is Why I'm Making An Evil Spirit Kill Everyone essay would have brought it up lol

even if mxy didn't harass jgy, then....that still doesn't imply that jgy harassed mxy?????

like im sure that with enough Free Invention you could construct a full explanation of events that has jgy harass mxy and also doesnt directly contradict anything directly stated by the novel. but you still need quite some insane leaps of logic to even get there lmao

Okay. I need someone to make an amv or some such for Nieyao with Control the Storm by Delain. I swear, if anyone tried to actively write a Nieyao song, they couldn't get it better.

So. Volunteers?
