I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do.
Wei Wuxian. youβre quite close with Lan Wangji these days. You might as well become a Lan sect disciple and stay at Cloud Recesses. Donβt go back to Lotus Pier.Β
What are you thinking? How could Cloud Recesses be as great as Lotus Pier?
There's something so beautiful and holy about getting married in an empty church without a priest or any witnesses. I'm thinking of louis and lestat and I'm thinking of anne lister and ann walker. There's something so queer about wanting something that's embedded in our culture but wanting to do it in its purest form, devoid of all pretensions and unnecessities that people have attached to it over time. I want to tell you that what we have is holy and I'll spend my whole life worshiping it and i want to do it free of all the dirt that society has glued onto marriage. I want it to feel the way it felt for the first lovers who came up with the idea because they knew what they had was holy and they wanted to create a ceremony to celebrate it.
Imagine: it's Lan Sizhui's birthday and you've got his whole family celebrating, with Wei Wuxian dramatically lamenting how fast children grow up and Lan Wangji secretly feeling the exact same way. And Lan Sizhui assured them both many times there's no need to make a big deal of his birthday, it's not like Lans celebrate these things in grand style, but Wei Wuxian will throw a party for his son or so help him. And of course Lan Jingyi is there too, and Jin Ling, and maybe a bunch of other juniors because Lan Sizhui is absolutely one of the most popular and beloved in his generation. And everyone has a great time, really.
But at one point Wei Wuxian notices that Wen Ning isn't there anymore. He came at first, but he disappeared off somewhere, and it's weird because Wen Ning is so attached to his young cousin. So Wei Wuxian goes and ends up finding him by himself in the woods, and it's not that he has a weird face because fierce corpses can't really emote, but Wei Wuxian knows something is up.
So he goes and starts chatting with Wen Ning and tries to figure out what is going on. Was the celebration too many people for him? No, it was fine, it was all people he knee anyways. Is there something wrong? No, on the contrary.
"It's just," Wen Ning says "you are right. Children do grow up so fast."
"Yeah, they do. It seems like yesterday he was a tiny thing leaving slobber all over my flute, and now look at him, a proper young cultivator."
And Wen Ning doesn't make a sad smile, exactly, because his face is too stiff to, but he would have. "Little A-Yuan, all grown up. I don't know if I should still call him A-Yuan now, or if it would be weird."
"And why not? I do all the time. He's big now, but he'll always be my little boy."
"But you see, Master Wei, now, A-Yuan turned older than I ever got to be."
Disney vs. DeSantis is so funny because it's like. Neither side even wanted to get into this. Here's how it's supposed to go: Politician does something stupid. Corporation disavows politician after public pressure. Politician disavows the disavowing. Nothing changes for either party.
But then the Florida governor got stars in his eyes. He saw an opportunity to bolster his standing before the presidential primary. He wanted to be the one who took on The Mouse and won. So in retaliation he decides he's going to tear down the decades-old agreement Disney uses to govern Disney World's district.
And just like that, Disney's batshit insane legal department turns towards Florida like the Eye of Sauron spotting the ring at Mount Doom. They smell lost profit. They smell blood.
Disney will use any and every strategy they've accumulated over the last century of lobbying congress and DeSantis can't back down lest he admit Mickey Mouse beat his ass. He's lost control of Disney World's district even more than he already did. Now he's getting sued.
This all started because Disney was pressured into backtracking their political contributions to Florida and disavowing the Don't Say Gay law. Now they're fighting for something they actually care about: their profit margin. Disney is not an ally to queer people and they're an enemy to progressives, but damn am I rooting for them to keep humiliating the greater evil for the time being. This is high comedy.
BEWARE: Here is the land of Asian BL/GL dramas with a spattering of Western shows!
