something something extremely sexy when magic users resort to physical violence. yeah i have the power of god and anime on my side but i also have THESE HANDS. i cast Punch You In The Face. i take my magic staff through which i channel the vast energies of the elements and the cosmos and i cast Severe Concussion And Skull Fracture. casting time for xenoglossy too long, chose the quicker route of Stab You In The Throat.

my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing

The only thing Jin Ling still has of his father is his sword. I mean this in the sense that he probably doesn’t know anything about his father since there is no-one left to tell him anything about Jin Zixuan. His jiujiu can tell Jin Ling stories about his mother, about the colours and flowers and foods she liked, what she meant to Jiang Cheng specifically, maybe he can even cook her lotus pork rib soup for him. Otherwise put, someone who was very close to his mother can tell Jin Ling about her. I severly doubt he has someone to do the same for his father - Jin Guangyao barely knew Jin Zixuan, Jiang Cheng at best felt lukewarm about him and mostly knows him from… his less charming moments, and everyone who genuinely knew Jin Zixuan is dead or gone (which are (arguably) his parents) (and Mianmian if you go from CQL canon; in MDZS Mianmian and Jin Zixuan had no specific relationship). Maybe there are some friends or a few older servants who can tell Jin Ling about his father, but as far as named characters go everyone who was close to him; at least as close as Jiang Cheng is to Jiang Yanli; is gone. All he has is his fathers’ sword without any knowledge of the person who it belonged to. It’s an object with no story attached to it, aside from maybe that his father was enthousiastic about Jin Ling reaching for it as a baby. Jin Ling probably has some knowledge or can at least ask questions about Jiang Yanli; he can’t do the same for Jin Zixuan.

Not book smart or street smart but a secret third thing.

had a dream that there was this new tiktok trend called "scrubbing" where people would take images of fictional characters and put them in images of bathtubs and drag around transparent pngs of soap and brushes with their tiktok art tablets and like liquify tool their hair down to mimic giving them a shower. and people would get into flamewars in the comments of every single video over the types of soap they picked and if the images had decently removed backgrounds and if they got soap in their eyes. and it got onto the news because it turned out everyone doing the trend was doing it compulsively like they physically couldn't stop and each video was a solid few minutes long because they were just collectively obsessively recording themselves fake-showering these fictional characters and arguing about it online

for the record I have never used tiktok and like explicitly in the dream I learned about it secondhand from a discord server so there's that also which is funny I think

This damn site. If I described this site as accurately as I could, I would be unable to justify the time I spend here.

as someone who wants to make Every Art And Craft, Ever, All The Time it's actually suuuuuuch a relief when I come across a technique that I don't vibe with aesthetically. my pile of Things To Learn is endless and ever-growing and normally every time I see a new thing it's like well. there it goes. on the infinite pile. so on the rare occasions i see something i DON'T have a fervent and immediate desire to learn I'm just oh wow I don't like this. thank fucking god.
