take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.
When my aunt died of covid, we had to clean out a lot of stuff that she was saving. Foods she was going to try, she was a great chef, spices she'd never opened or only used sparingly, lotions and bath things she hadn't used. After she died I started making a point of using things up: the good vanilla that has to be imported, that we finally found more of, we'd used barely an ounce before she passed away. Even though we love it. I just got my family new bottles of it for Christmas because we used one up. We enjoyed that happiness. Sometimes I still get the impulse to wait for something special, or awful, to save nice things for celebration or comfort. The phrase that always echoes in my mind is "use the good vanilla". And I have been (burning the candles, squirting the body wash, dissolving the bath bombs, putting the saffron in things). And it's been great. Use the good vanilla.

“I would die for my kids” your children want an apology
your made up scenario isn’t real (shocker) and makes no difference when your kids are starving for your acknowledgment of the pain you caused them. you’re only performing the role of a good parent, without having to actually do any heavy lifting
[photo id: a screenshot of tags
#you'll die for me. awesome. will you break a habit for me? will you learn something new for me? will you fix your mistakes for me? #dying for me is surprisingly easy - it's often passive and instantaneous and you only need to do it once #will you do the hard thing of constantly and consistently putting in the work again and again and again?

Will you listen when I tell you about something I'm interest in even though it's not a subject that personally interests you? Will you bother to be interested in the person who is interested in things that aren't for you? Or will you just cut me off with a "You know I'm not interested/don't care about that, [name]" every time while expecting me to listen to you about things I don't care about?
Scum Villain AU where Yue Qingyuan is also Tianlang Jun's nephew.
TLJ's sister liked to get around, okay? She was a free spirit! Experimental! She didn't just go right to fucking a snake, a couple of years prior to that she was carousing her way through the human realms, bringing back the sorts of thing that sparked her younger brother's interest and hooking up with whatever humans took her fancy. Which wasn't very many (boring) but there was this one brothel madam who caught her eye, extremely creative woman, would have been all over figuring out the logistics of snake-fucking if TLJ's sister ever needed the help. They had quite a few good times together, some of which involved third or fourth or even whole crows of others.
So after a few such revelries, TLJ's sister falls pregnant. She could abort it herself with just a nudge of her blood parasites, but the brothel madam is like no way any child of yours would be amazing, if you don't want it then give it to me instead! And TLJ's sister is like, sure that seems like an appropriate "thanks for the memories" type parting gift before I have to head back to the demon realms, and sticks around long enough to bequeath the newborn to her.
Unlike Zhuzhi Lang, she doesn't mention this part to her younger brother. Mostly because she doesn't have any reason to think that Half Human Jr will have any problems in his life. He came out looking normal, he's in the human realms being raised by the best human she knows, he's probably gonna have a great life. Way better than the boring crap purebred Heavenly Demons have to put up with!
Well, the brothel madam actually does adore the little guy, but while Yue Qi is still a baby her fortunes change. Her establishment runs afoul of a powerful public official, some of their competitors get nasty, and within a few years she's been poisoned and Yue Qi has been sold into bondage along with all her other assets to pay off her debts.
Things progress more or less like usual until the sects are setting up their ambush against Tianlang Jun, and Yue Qingyuan goes to fight him and TLJ is just like "wait a minute" and calls a time-out to ask him some pressing questions about his parentage. Which catches Yue Qingyuan just off his guard enough for him to notice that TLJ doesn't actually seem to be a bloodthirsty monster hellbent on destroying humanity, which in turn calls into question some of the Huan Hua Palace Master's claims...
The whole bit about how drawing the sword “drains his life force” was a complete lie. Drawing the sword disrupts the energy flow between YQY and Xuan Su, leading to a greater chance of the seal failing.
''i wasted those years'' who cares. you lived the only life you could've lived in those moments
You did the best you could with all you had and knew. That was then. Here is now
prev tags correct
Ning Yingying knows that Luo Binghe is abused by their Shizun, sees that Yue Qingyuan is ignoring it because he favors Shen Qingqiu, and learns a hard lesson about how the only things that matter in this world are power and connections. Ning Yingying vows to be Luo Binghe's family and to get strong enough to protect him.
When it is time for to get her spiritual sword Ning Yingying tries to get a sword that is much too powerful for her abilities. She qi deviates. They need to lock her in the Ling Xi Caves.
Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu are both having very interesting emotions in response to this disciple begging to be let out so that she can protect her little brother.
i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.
as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”
small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.
i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.

I love your drawings of buzzcut Zuko!!!(idk if that's what it's officially called)
Tysm!! I actually drew some practice drawings of him w that haircut quite recently
the thing with romance for me is that you need to convince me through behavior and dialogue that the characters enjoy spending time with each other and seek each other out. even with enemies to lovers a foundation of mutual respect goes a long way. you can be like "he's the youngest ever general of the dragon slaying guild and I'm secretly a dragon, but he's the best swordsman I've ever fought and our sparring matches are the only thing that make me feel alive ever since my family was killed." if he implies something similar then bam, you have a reason for the two of them to hang out even though one of them knows it's dangerous. you can't be like "he's a dragon slayer and he's mean to me all the time but the flex of his arms when he swings his sword is just too sexy." it does not matter how many times you have your protagonist say "I shouldn't be drawn to him... but I am" if you never show a real moment of connection between them that draws them together
reminds me of this:
the more i talk w/ leftist friends the more i start to realize that they think culture is only defined by food or "traditional" (i.e. "ethnic") garb and nothing else
mentioned how white americans do in fact have a common culture and they genuinely thought i was joking. culture isnt something only granted to the Cool People of Color. just feels like among progressive groups there's this dichotomy created in which only the virtuous oppressed minorities have culture and anyone who is privileged some sort of void cultureless being
As someone with a background in anthropology, culture is everything and everywhere. It's so all-encompassing it's hard to even wrap your head around. Everything you do, say, think, eat, wear is wrapped up in culture. Even being deliberately counter-cultural, by consciously defying the expectations of your culture, is still an engagement with culture (often by adopting a sub-culture).
Sure, it's the “simple”, “surface-level” things that people tend to think of, like
In your culture, how many meals a day are you generally expected to eat, and when are you expected to eat them?
In your culture, which clothes are considered “formal”, and when would you wear such clothes?
But it's also so much more:
If you were dating someone, at what point in the relationship would you be expected to introduce them to your parents? That's culture!
How much respect is given to artists? Are people like poets or musicians revered as an integral part of society, or is the predominant attitude “get a real job”? That's culture!
How much value is given to education? What's considered more socially embarrassing - academic failure, or academic achievement? What's the intellectual landscape? Do people tend to respect experts, or denigrate them as “elitists”? That's culture!
Which things are generally considered to be “high culture” or “low culture”? Which kinds of media and art are considered “for the masses” versus “for the elites”? That's culture!
How are politicians treated? Do people tend to respect them as their “betters”, their “leaders”? Or are they assumed to be lying, conniving, corrupt, the worst of society? What kind of thing would end a politician's career? That's culture!
What's considered more egregious behaviour - bothering other people, or asking someone to stop bothering other people? That's culture!
If you were attending a job interview, how would you want to come across? How would you be expected to dress and behave? Would it be better to come across as very bold and confident, or humble and subservient? That's culture!
If you found yourself in a tricky situation - say, broken down at the side of the road - would you confidently expect strangers to come and help you? Or would it seem really weird for some random person to come and involve themselves in your situation? That's culture!
How are you expected to communicate? Is it seen as rude to be very blunt and straightforward, or is it considered rude to beat around the bush and make allusions and try to soften what you're saying rather than quickly getting to the point? That's culture!
I could go on (boy could I go on). This is so not meant to be all-inclusive; this is just a tiny sample of the things that make up “culture”.
To put it bluntly, a lot of the time the word “culture” seems to be used to mean, essentially, “the things that make people of colour different from white people”. Oh, this guy eats this different kind of food; that's culture. This lady wears these clothes to a wedding; that's culture. But we white people, we don't have “culture”; we just do what's normal. But it's all culture! Everything! All of it! And culture isn't just the result of where in the world you come from - class, occupation, rural/urban location, minority status, political affiliation, all these things and more can result in cultural differences even within a small area. Multiple cultures often co-exist, blend, overlap, and borrow from one another within the same place, which is especially noticeable in places with legacies of migration. People bring different cultures from around the world, and these interact with the dominant culture in all sorts of interesting ways. But a culture being dominant doesn't mean that it ceases to be a culture.
Claiming that certain groups of people (generally, whoever is the dominant majority group in a particular context) “don't have culture” is just as dumb as when people claim they “don't have an accent” simply because their accent is the most common one where they live. There is no “default”, every deviation from which is “a culture” or “an accent”. Everyone has an accent. Every community, everywhere, has culture(s). If you aren't aware of your culture, or don't think you have an accent, you're probably just so used to being considered “default” and “normal” that it doesn't occur to you that no such thing actually exists.
I feel the need to comment on the difference between reactions to the new SVSSS extra (amazing! I have yet to hear any complaints! Confirms and adds onto many premises already suspected among fans) vs reactions to other works where the author drops an addition years later (iffy, don’t feel continuous to the original series, sometimes seem like the author is deliberately trying to go as far away from popular theory as possible as a kinda gotcha moment)
Gotta love MXTX for the sheer elation any continuation or revision she writes tend to inspire in her fan base and the way they perfectly complement the original work.
Ok so you know how in the new extras, MBJ, LBH, SY, and XF(SQH) read PIDW together and MBJ and LBH just flame the author with no clue that it’s XF? I like to think that XF starts writing again while they’re in the modern world.
Only, now that he’s not suffocating under the weight of having to eat and pay rent and having impossible deadlines with no outline and pandering to the masses, his writing improves tremendously (amazing what having the time to reread, edit, and revise can do). To the point where when MBJ eventually stumbles upon his writing, he praises it.
He specifically compares it to the terrible hack who wrote PIDW, saying how much better of a writer XF is in comparison and how PIDW wouldn’t have sucked nearly as much if XF had written it and—
XF is left standing there with utter mortification and the knowledge that he can NEVER let MBJ find out he wrote PIDW.

these four had a lot of interesting conversations while shen qingqiu was gone
a thing that you REALLY should remember about white lotus luo binghe is that he is fully convinced that HE did something to earn shen qingqiu's regard. that he won the abuser lottery and somehow convinced his shizun to see his worth. and you people are NOT including this derangement in your white lotus binghes. he was willing to fistfight liu qingge at age 15 for an extra ten minutes of shen qingqiu's attention you HAVE to match that energy!!!!
