on my everything obsession

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

It's something I was thinking about and it's so annoying because hes gay and he can have a crush before Kit and he certainly can after because HELLO it was 3 goddamn years and he thought him and Kit would never make up. And he has also likely assumed Kit no longer has feelings for him and it's natural to move on and have other relationships/crushes etc. He very well could have had a boyfriend between the events of qoaad and tlkof him and Kit never fucking dated and Ty doesn't owe him shit! Ty could have very well even had sex in the time in-between cuz he's literally nineteen! Not fifteen not a child he's an adult in tlkof and I think people need to calm the fuck down. Ty doesn't owe Kit "loyalty" or whatever the fuck people want from him! Hell Ty doesn't even have to love Kit back he doesn't owe him that I think people forget that a love confession in a book just like in the real world doesn't need to be reciprocated. Ty didn't have to say I love you to Kit because he had just met Kit like 3 months prior and he was also going through a really fuckin hard time if someone confessed love to me after my sibling died and I was in the middle of necromancy I wouldn't say shit either! Because it was incredibly bad timing and there was no way that Ty would have been emotionally prepared for something like that in that moment.

I obviously ship Kit and Ty but I also demand that they are treated equally. The only reason people are being weird is because Ty is autistic and you can't change my mind!

jiang cheng is an extremely complicated character, and that's why we love him. but by god, he is a jealous, self-victimizing asshole with a massive inferiority complex who likes to torture (probably) innocent look-a-likes of his (as far as he knew) dead adjacent family member. jesus christ this isn't some simple case of miscommunication (well it is but, you know no amount of communication will ever mend the giant chasm that developed between them. especially not with asians raised within the most classical case of asian parenting, i mean come on now) but a matter of deep and intense self-loathing developed since early childhood projecting violently outwards. let me be clear. he hates wei wuxian. he loathes him. he wants to kill him with his own hands again and again so some part of his convoluted sense of justice and superiority will be fulfilled. he's a classist, a bully, and abusive to everyone around him. ong at the end of mdzs, i was nearly crying tears of joy when jin guangyao flayed him flat on his ass bc that man needed to hear it. he needed to feel it. he needed to stop blaming others and blame himself.

and!! he's homophobic!! the entire cultivation world is, yes, but he's the only one we see give wei ying and lan zhan active shit for it!!

point is...his complexity makes him interesting. as a child, he was pretty alright tbh. he was understandably upset when three of his dogs got taken away and he saw his dad give a completely random kid such a gentle hug when jiang cheng never received one so far. he was a kid, and it was sad and helped the readers get a glimpse at the already dysfunctional family dynamics before wei ying came into the picture. as an adolescent/teen, yes he had a lot of unresolved rage and inferiority issues building up when he was constantly being compared to wei wuxian by his mother and not given enough reassurance from his father (once again, all present before wei ying...everyone just likes to dump the shit on him bc it's easier to point fingers at others than at yourself). perhaps he could have turned out differently if literally either of his parents stepped up and took accountability. however, after the burning of lotus pier? after the golden core transfer? after wei ying stuck around as his subordinate just as he promised, and protected jiang cheng like he promised, and defected just to save the yunmeng clan's reputation so jiang cheng doesn't have to put up with the other clan's shit, still continuing to keep his promise? after wei ying's death? idk abt y'all, but all bets are off bro.

mxtx makes it a point to make him so irredeemable. he's an exploration of what can go wrong if you let your traumas, self-hatred, and revenge fantasies blind you. he has the worst traits of his parents for a reason, directly contrasting with the other sibling, who is a perfect picture of eldest daughters born into a dysfunctional family. jiang yanli has the best traits of her parents (in terms of compassion and standing up for her family), but the family dynamics also made her the way she was. the responsible, the mediator, the occasional mother, stepping in where madam yu cannot.

there's just so much potential to hold him accountable buried under the pretense of misunderstandings and kinnie moments. he just had so many chances, more than any other character, to make a different choice. to actually look past his misgivings and unlearn the bad habits he used to protect himself as a child. i'm not saying he has to magically heal from all his traumas, but at the very least know not to be like his parents. but he wasn't written that way. because that is what happens when you give into your insecurities and generational trauma.

that isn't to say those who died or were bereaved after nightless city or the first siege of the burial mounds weren't hurt by wei wuxian’s retaliation. but calling them "wei wuxian’s victims" while ignoring that cultivation society scapegoated and hunted him down, and that wei wuxian never attacked without being threatened first, is a massive oversimplification.

sure we have minor characters like the cultivator who lost his leg or the cultivator who lost his parents, and sure mxtx writes them as part of a mob of more unreasonable people who were largely not even present for these events, but the thing is... there are major named characters who were present, or who had loved ones there, and their grief and pain are given full attention by the story. they're called jiang cheng and jin ling.

my sister/my mother died at nightless city because of you! except no, jiang yanli actually died because an entirely different nameless cultivator stabbed her, and she intentionally pushed wei wuxian out of the way to protect him out of sincere love. it wasn't the first time. she already demonstrated this when she stood up for him and called him her blood brother in front of her fiance and his family at an event they were hosting, when she had zero backing support and could've easily been dumped and had her marriageability ruined for speaking out of turn.

who's to say that jiang yanli's death wasn't the only instance of cultivators dying at nightless city from friendly fire during all the chaos? we don't know. the one thing we do know for certain is that once it was all over, the survivors attributed the (dubiously counted) thousands of casualties to wei wuxian alone.

saying that wei wuxian was the sole cause is overly convenient for cultivation society. in particular the major sects politically did not want to help the wen remnants and were content to mistreat them in forced labor camps. they thought that wei wuxian was too dangerous with his unique ghost path of cultivation and use of resentful energy, so they gathered everyone up and tried TWO different times to assassinate him. the first time just killing wei wuxian alone. the next time, taking all the remaining wens out with him.

there's a lot left unsaid about these major battles and sieges which leads to a lot of our discourse as fans to begin with-- we have such limited information about all these major events of the past! and unfortunately for us, that's the point!

that's the thesis of the book! the details of the pain and grief you go through don't actually matter! regardless of it, you have to eventually move on. you have to actively choose good, to do what you think is right for the sake of doing the right thing, and not just to act based on your idea of fulfilling debts or deserving to be repaid a certain way!

he has full awareness of how his station is looked down upon in the cultivation world and so while others in his situation may bend or break–wei wuxian cleverly toes the line between the two until taking a stance becomes necessary. he deeply understands the ugly dynamics running within the jiang family and clan and acts accordingly–be it his prompt efforts to placate jiang cheng or his conscious silence when madame yu is in a mood or even his acceptance of the whipping in lieu of restoring stability for the clan. despite his personal biases against jin zixuan, he can recognise his bravery. even his scandalous move to begin undressing in the cave shows that he knows exactly what would make lan wangji tick.

hell, i’d say even his initial thought about how the resentment of the dead can be redirected towards a target shows his striking comprehension of how emotions work in general. what’s more, he’s able to recognise the machinations nie huaisang had employed and he was also aware of the bigger picture associated with how fickle and easily swayed mob mentality was when everyone took part in bashing jin guangyao when certain truths came to light. when he was first brought back to life, he quickly and correctly deduced what kind of life mo xuanyu must have led and how he could act in order to easily humiliate the mo family. he empathised with jin ling and yet realised how he was brought up left something to be desired and so, tried to inculcate some of his own highly regarded values to him.

back to wwx. like i said, he was already all heart eyes about lwj from the very beginning. there's no theorizing needed tbh, he basically lists everything he found attractive about lwj in his recount of their first meeting. he admires lwj's beauty and skills, and even his widely talked about intelligence. and while his words make it seem like he was annoyed about being caught and lwj enforcing the rules, it was also actually something he admired about him. wwx had met his match and, at the same time, he admired that lwj was firm and true to his principles. even lwj's cold look was attractive to him. by engaging in a fight with him, lwj had unknowingly shown a side of him that wwx never heard in the stories about the other twin jade of gusu lan, and it made wwx want more. i think wwx was already in love with lwj before he left the cloud recesses, he just didn't know it yet.

tl;dr: their game of chase in drunk 2 represents how their love story started—wwx chasing after lwj until lwj finally let himself be caught.

the criticism in alien stage extends itself into analysis of people's intimate relationships under hostile environments - each person is alienated from each other because they are taught to treat each other as images rather than people. children are taught specially in anakt garden to be idols: their self is immutable for marketability, their sponsor is god, and others are competition. their relation with their selves and others are warped by this structure, naturally warping their idea of love by extension. this is the most identifiable theme of alien stage since it is spoken aloud to us via mizi's monologue. but it is of importance that this theme is built on a foundation of criticism of industry, the nuclear family, and religion.

zombie stage's criticism leans more physical and literal, as is the nature of the more realistic setting and therefore more direct commentary of the current pop idol industry. topics such as sexual exploitation are explored in more detail instead of being mostly implied in alnst. similarly, the dehumanisation in alnst is presupposed within its setting - humans are aliens, animals, pets - but in zomst, the process of being dehumanised is shown to us. zombification as a metaphor focuses on the body and manifests the trauma of being turned into a product physically. for this purpose, zomst diverts from classic zombie tropes of rot to gemstone, so the zombies may be commercialised based on appearance to be used as criticism of the idol industry. the main idea behind zombies is mostly preserved in translation, ie the consequences of eternity on human nature, but the idea of living beyond death takes on different meanings within the context of the idol industry and capital. the apocalypse in zomst is not the destruction of society, but a reaffirmation of it.

these metaphors do not work without considering the constructed context around them. we must understand alien/zombie as idol, and the stage as the world in which they inhabit. title drop spinning gif go

This is fucking terrifying: Google is implementing Android Developer Verification, a program that would require all developers to register with Google before distributing apps on Android starting September 2026. There is a widely-circulated narrative that Google already backed down from this. They didn't, and that misunderstanding may be the most dangerous part of the story right now.

This will kill open source. This will make it easier for governments to ban apps. This will mean apps will have to abide by what Google deems acceptable.

Also, deleting Google Play Store does NOT mean you're safe from this. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD AN UNVERIFIED APP ON YOUR ANDROID PHONE, PERIOD. To use an example from the video: it's the equivalent of preventing you from installing a .exe on your computer.

Google is controlling more and more. This is censorship. Fuck this shit.
