Mulan AU where she does get caught by the other fresh recruits while she's bathing but Mushu helps her spin it like the lake is cursed by an evil lizard demon and will turn men into women if they stay in it for too long.
From there it's not actually difficult to get the other soldiers onboard with covering up the fact that poor Ping took one for the team and got afflicted by the vagina curse, especially since it would have been all of them if they hadn't gotten the warning ahead of time. So they agree to help him cover it up, because obviously the army's not going to understand.
Shang is... tentatively glad that the men are bonding and getting along, even if they continue to be deeply weird about it.
Ling: Hey man, what's upâ you've got boobs?!?!
Mulan: Uh, what boobs? Huh? Where did these come from?
Mushu: *facepalms and thinks quickly* (speaks from the shadows) I AM THE SPIRIT OF THE LAKE! BEWARE MY CURSED WATERS FOR THEY WILL TURN MEN INTO WOMEN!
Ling, Yao, and Chien Po: Oh no! The spirit of the cursed waters!
Chi-Fu: SHE'S A WOMAN LI SHANG!
Mulan: Look-
Ling, Yao, and Chien Po: WE CAN EXPLAIN!!
[One convoluted, chaotic explanation later]
Shang: ...is this why you've all been insisting we don't camp anywhere that doesn't have a lake.
Shang: and then none of you actually swim in it.
Shang: and you all keep jumping at shadows.
Shang: wait a second Ping did this happen before or after you became insanely good at fighting?
Shang: did you get better at fighting after you became a woman.
Shang: are women better at fighting than us.
Mulan: ....uh. well. maybe? no one's ever tried to find out.
Yao: [thinking very fast] y'know Captain it's just so hard to find recruits these days.
Chien Po: Real shortage of men.
Ling: Lots of women, though.
Mulan: [catching on] Without marriage prospects.
Shang: You're right, men. The spirits must have done this in order to show us that we should be recruiting women as fighters.
Mushu [from the shadows, seeing an opportunity to do the funniest thing]: EXACTLY, LI SHANG. I HAVE TRANSFORMED PING INTO A WOMAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TOO LONG OVERLOOKED THE TRUE WAY TO WIN THE WAR.
Mulan [seeing an opportunity to get all the stories straight]: O Great Spirit, is it reversible?
Mushu: WHY WOULD YOU WISH TO REJECT MY GIFT? I HAVE SEEN YOUR HEART, CHILD, AND HAVE ALREADY ALTERED THE MEMORIES OF EVERYONE WHO KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU LEFT FOR THE ARMY. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THEIR DAUGHTER.
Li Shang: Welp, the spirits have spoken. Ping - wait is your name still Ping if you're a woman now?
Mulan: Uh. Actually, I was thinking of renaming myself. How do you feel about Mulan?
BONUS:
Mulan [climbing out of the eleventh lake the men have arranged for her to swim in]: Yeah no, it didn't work. Still got boobs. [tries to appear dejected].
Chien Po: If it makes you feel better, they're very nice boobs.
Mulan: Thanks, Chien Po.
Mulan and Mushu, somehow opperating on the same wavelength: oh haven't you heard?

So mad and offended at a horror book being so spectacularly bad and pointless and feeling like it wasted every minute of my time that I spent with it that I was laughing at the end because what else can you do but laugh at the absurdity
can you reblog and tell me which of your ocs has the stupidest name
some of the best characters are the ones where you know if they sat down and discussed ghosts the conversation would end with them attacking each other with furniture
like this
I am so outrageously defensive over the Dallas Wyland Whaling Wall. News articles talking about it (tl;dr Fifa painted over a mural thats 27?? years old without full permission and everyone is big mad about it. I am so big mad about it) that are ALSO like "this is outrageous and offensive" keep saying completely minor lines with the writer's opinion of the mural, and it isn't complimentary and I'm just like SHUT UP. IT IS ICONIC. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. WHO ARE YOU TO SAY IT WAS NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS!!!
Apparently this mural was my son and I cannot stand to hear a single negative word about him. You learn new things about yourself every day
The full saga of Margie and the Nuns (so far). Realised I never compiled these in one place.! Also, bonus Margies!

I started reading Haunting of Hill House. I'm real early on - Eleanor has just arrived at the eponymous house. She's got her first look at it, and is like oh, ew. gross. icky. (I paraphrase, obviously,) shes never seen a house more awful and clearly evil and full of The Bad! But then shes like welp! Gotta go inside because if I leave the gatekeeper will laugh at me and thats so much worse than an evil house built with evil.
i am endeared, but eleanor, my love, i think perhaps we should adjust our priorities.
"Oh hey a lot of hockey content is being pushed to your various algorithms. Did you read heated rivalry too?"
no at some point in 2025 I watched a video of a guy replacing the blade on the skate of a hockey player while imitating a nate the hoof guy video. I asked if that hurts the horse or not. I have not known peace since. I didn't know that commenting on one singular hockey related video was entering a pact from which I could not return.
I'm not mad about it. i just didn't know that hockey was a faerie circle.
Hey! Spin this wheel of Every PokĂŠmon!
This is now your PokĂŠmon Partner. Whatever you would want to do in the PokĂŠmon world, your Result goes with you.

If you really really want to BE a PokĂŠmon than this is the PokĂŠmon you just turned into.
How are you feeling about it?
HELL YEAH!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE POKEMON!!
OH!! I LOVE THIS POKEMON!!

This Pokemon is okayâŚ
I have mixed feelings about this PokemonâŚ
Not bad, but Iâm still kinda disappointedâŚ
Well⌠it could be worse?
I mean, at least itâs better than NOT having a Pokemon, right?
OH NO THIS IS ACTUALLY WORSE!!
i read CS Lewisâ A Grief Observed one time years ago and iâm still not recovered from it
â A Grief Observed: part i-ii, C.S. Lewis x
I need y'all to understand that he wrote this famous passage in the middle of her brief remission -
'Do not let your happiness depend on something you may lose.' 'Donât put your goods in a leaky vessel.' 'Donât spend too much on a house you may be turned out of.' There is no man alive who responds more naturally than I to such canny maxims. I am a safety-first creature. Of all arguments against love none makes so strong an appeal to my nature as âCareful! This might lead you to sufferingâ. There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket â safe, dark, motionless, airless â it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

I have semi-regular crashouts about the taste of cucumber ever since learning that the normal flavor description for them is mild.
What do you mean, mild? What does that MEAN. Cucumber is sharp and tart. You bite into one and it makes those little spots under your tongue contract because its so tart. Not in a good way, like when you think about a lemon, but like. ...protectively.
Cucumber tastes significantly more strong than tomatoes, or egg, or cheese, or any other normal salad trapping that it might be paired with. It is an equally strong taste as a raw onion (sometimes less, often more, depending on how hot the onion is. I would much rather eat raw onion than cucumber... and often do, laughs.) You add vinegar to cucumber to make it taste less strong and become more tolerable. What do you MEAN its a mild taste. If you put cucumber in anything, that thing now tastes like cucumber. It is such a strong flavor.
I thought people added it to water when they didnt like water because its such a strong taste that it overpowers the water. What do you MEAN that not everyone ranks cucumber at like. an eight or nine on the strong taste scale.
If i get a salad and it has cucumber in it, I almost always eat the cucumber by itself because i can't taste anything else when cucumber is in the bite. (Or just leave the cucumber behind if i dont feel like eating it and dont have the right dressing to tone it down).
mild flavor. mild. mild??? mild????? i am a cat staring suspiciously at cucumbers when hearing the idea that they might be considered mild.
you know i have not had like. ...a solid, good year since 2016. I've been humming "this year" by the mountain goats as a determined anthem yearly since ...2014? It's been a rough decade.
Feels a bit early to be calling 2026 a wash but unfortunately can do that already. The events of these few weeks are irrevocably going to change who I am and colour the rest of my year with things I need to heal around. I feel like the last decade has been a series of who I am dying, and me mourning that person, and trying to carry on with the new person left behind, and then the cycle repeats.
I'm clawing tooth and nail to try and find somewhere that the joy can exist. Holding on by the skin of my gritted teeth, reminding myself that if joy is temporary then the sadness can also be temporary.
Things will be okay because there's never been a choice to do anything but be okay. But it's so unreasonably difficult.
