what used to be one ofnyour favourite shows? idk if we watched around the same times as i never caught merlin on cbbc but shows like redakai, gormiti, huntik, house of anubis, hero 108 used to be my favourites hehe (i may be mixing up citv or cbbc but!! im curious if u recognise any of these shows :3c )
Sorry I've never heard of any of those shows maybe you were a wee bit after my time, my main presenters were Ed and owcho and Ian and hacker and my favourite shows were like young Dracula, Tracy beaker, M.I.High, horrible histories, the bazil brush show and the Sarah Jane adventures

Scum Villain + The Untamed Sticker: Jiang Cheng/Luo Binghe!
I call this AU: “Oh, yeah, Wei Wuxian, did anyone tell you? While you were dead, your brother’s new head disciple died under mysterious circumstances! Now it looks like that dead disciple is back as a Demon Emperor and determined to woo your brother’s heart.” Featuring a shameless and totally anachronistic hand-kissing gesture that is definitely a “demonic cultural thing”. (Luo Binghe, do you want to get electrocuted? Because this is how you get electrocuted.)
Just imagining Luo Binghe’s “Notice Me, Shizun!!!” energy being directed at Jiang Cheng of all people made me laugh out loud. Jiang Cheng’s “blacklisted by all the matchmakers” bachelor status versus Luo Binghe’s stallion protagonist determination to woo his former sect leader, FIGHT.
post-canon wwx and jc end up deaged to being young teenagers. chaos ensues! (bonus: anything with the junior quartet)
“I bet you’re related to that damned peacock,” Wei Wuxian said darkly to the Jin sect disciple that had tied him up. “What did I ever do to you, huh?”
“Nothing at all. But I’ve also met you, so tying you up seems like a reasonable precaution.”
“Wow,” Jiang Cheng said. “He really has met you.”
“Shut up, Jiang Cheng.”
“Make me. Oh, wait, you can’t, you’ve been tied up –”
“There’s enough rope here for both of you,” the gangly Lan sect disciple said to him.
Which – hah!
“Isn’t having personality against your sect rules?” Wei Wuxian asked gleefully. Sure, he’d gotten tied up by a Jin disciple, but Jiang Cheng was being mouthed off to by a Lan. Clearly worse. “You know, the last Lan I met, Lan Wangji? He’s basically a rock. Dull, dull, dull –”
“You fall in love with him and get married,” the disciple in Ouyang colors said.
“I – what? Are you insane?”
“No, just obnoxious,” the shorter Lan sect disciple said, rolling his eyes at his companion. “Come on, let’s take them back home. Someone will be able to fix this.”
“We hope,” the Jin disciple muttered.
-
“I can deal with jiujiu,” Jin Ling said in an undertone. “No problem. Can you take Wei Wuxian?”
“We can try,” Lan Sizhui said dryly. “He’s slippery, even when tied up. You’re sure you can handle Jiang Cheng by yourself?”
“I’m sure of it. Don’t you think I know well enough how to handle him by now?”
-
“You really think you can drag me around by yourself?” Jiang Cheng said, arms crossed. He was glaring. It was adorable. “You didn’t even tie me up.”
“No need,” Jin Ling said. “You’d never do anything that could put Wei Wuxian at risk.”
Jiang Cheng scowled at him.
Adorable.
“Besides, I’m not going to threaten you,” Jin Ling said. “I’m going get you to stay with something good, not something bad.”
His uncle deserved good things.
“Something good? Like what?”
“My dog.”
“…you have a dog?”
“Named Fairy. Very affectionate, loves people. Only problem is that she gets very sad when someone she likes stops petting her – and she likes you a lot.”
Jiang Cheng stayed.
-
“I feel like this is unethical,” Lan Sizhui remarked.
“What? How?” Lan Jingyi asked. “We’re taking him to see his own future husband. What’s unethical about that?”
Lan Sizhui didn’t respond.
“You can’t just say something’s unethical without giving a reason,” Lan Jingyi pointed out. “There’s got to be some sort of reason. It’s not like he’s time-traveled and there’s a risk of changing history; he just got de-aged. So what’s the problem?”
Still no response.
Lan Jingyi turned to look at him.
Lan Sizhui’s face was bright red.
“…oh, you mean the fact that they’re probably going to have sex?”
“They’re definitely going to have sex,” Lan Sizhui said mournfully. “So much sex. They’re probably going to break several pieces of furniture. Again.”
Wei Wuxian, trailing behind them, was looking between them extremely rapidly. “Are you being serious right now?”
“Unfortunately so,” Lan Jingyi said. “So much sex.”
“Well, then,” Wei Wuxian said, suddenly peppy and speeding up until he was walking ahead of them both. He was still tied up. “What are we waiting for? Let’s get going!”
“Do you want me to remove the rope?” Lan Jingyi asked.
hey i'm not sure if you've answered this before but i was wondering if you have any work/schoolwork tips? or what works for you!
ive heard that adhd ppl trying to force themselves to do something actually hinders them. but idk how to make myself do something i need to do until i feel panicked the day before (then i feel exhausted bc it took way too long just trying to do it aha)
thank u for your blog!! i love reading it, and your answers are great (and ur dr who sideblog is lovely too!!)
hey hey!! i was looking up "adhd study tips" on tumblr and i found the one you wrote before!! so dont worry about replying to that one haha. thank you again!! love ur blog ♡♡♡
Aha I don’t even remember what I wrote in the other post because it was a while ago, but I assume it consisted of “flashcards and highlighters”. I do have an added study tip that I’ve found recently - I think it’s only useful for people in the UK because of the courses on there, but Seneca Learning is a brilliant website.
It takes you through each topic, and then asks you questions about it. And it has GCSE and A Level courses on there. I just... really wish I’d found this site a long time ago xD
fic trope: identity porn or when character x is secretly character y from another fandom 👀
[ask meme]
The latter...D, Not My Favorite. Honestly I don't think I've heard of that before? But as a rule, I don't usually go for crossovers where both universes of origin exist, save in short, somewhat cracky things - and this doesn't sound like it'd be best done short and cracky.
For general identity porn, A, Love It. To be fair I don't think I've ever sought it out under that tag, but if it's presented to me, I snap to it. I love the dramatic irony of characters interacting with someone they don't know they know, and the stress on the character who DOES know but can't say it...I love the exploration of a character by having them split their own characteristics between multiple personas, growing ever more unsure which is the "real" self, often with the ultimate answer that it's a combination of them all...may I introduce you to the Vorkosigan Saga, specifically the Brothers in Arms/Mirror Dance/Memory trifecta at the heart of it...

🌙 More on Lan Xichen and the principles of fairness and justice 🌙
⚖️ He made so many sacrifices and concessions for Lan Wangji because he loved him unconditionally and above all else
⚖️ This is a Huge Deal, and here’s why
I love my boy xichen 🥺
someone shared this with me in a xiyao server and I was very pleased dhchcbfbdjdj so glad there are people out there with cultural knowledge and the means to express it that I lack
hello! i wanted to ask, you said that in mdzs, it was never said that demonic cultivation harmed the spirit/body, it was just the lack of golden core. i'm reading a translation of mdzs (tamingwangxian version on wordpress) and in chapter 7 it says "Wei Wuxian’s method of cultivation might have been denounced by the rest of the cultivation world, and would also affect the practitioner’s constitution in the long run. However, one could achieve results quickly, as this form of cultivation was not restricted by spiritual powers or innate talent. Many were hence drawn to it and those who pursued shortcuts to cultivation privately practiced it."
would you say it is wwx's bias bc that's what happened to him or...? what do u think. i dont think it was just because of cql that people thought demonic cultivation was bad (other than like, the cultural connotations re daoism lol) genuinely just interested in ur thoughts!
Ooh interesting...
I think it’s more to do with how like, most cultivation has a risk. There is a risk to what you are doing, even with normal cultivation. Generally qi deviation. Also there’s something to say about how a lot of what is said is a red herring in a way? It’s easy to forget but the novel is structured as a fake out on a first read.
According to normal xianxia standards, Wei Wuxian would be a villain given a second chance to reform, away from the “toxic influence” of demonic cultivation with a new “purer” body. But by the final flashback arc it’s like “HA NO they hate him because of classism and the fact he’s righteous and refuses to bow to a corrupt society”.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t any risk to demonic cultivation and how it could effect your body, just that there is a way for Wei Wuxian to counter that.
Honestly all these people having bad side-effects from demonic cultivation who aren’t Wei Wuxian makes sense simply because he didn’t write manuals! He just wrote out personal notes and did personal experiments for night-hunting past the Sunshot Campaign. He never intended to teach anyone and drove out anyone who tried to get taught.
The final nail in the coffin to possible bad things to Wei Wuxian personally because of demonic cultivation is that anything that looked like he was having trouble from that turned out to be because of that big secret about not having a golden core anymore.
So it’s more yes there are risks, but Wei Wuxian did, in fact, have it personally handled. But no one else has all the details on how he managed the side effects and countered the problems.
I mean the narration isn’t fully Wei Wuxian’s POV (though it seems that way, it merely leans into his POV most times; we do slip over to other characters even in flashback arcs) and again, lots of tricks about how Wei Wuxian traditionally would be a villain character given a second chance. The whole original twist is that he isn’t. So this is probably meant to be vague enough (since we do see WeI Wuxian in the third flashback arc not having trouble in his constitution outside of the fact he doesn’t have access to much food and has no golden core) to play into that twist.
TL;DR version is this: there are probably risks like in normal cultivation, but Wei Wuxian knew what he was doing (that’s a major twist in fact) while since he didn’t leave any proper manuals behind it’s doubtful anyone trying demonic cultivation after him knows how to account for that in full (except maybe Xue Yang and that’s a big maybe).
