Oh god the vampire yeti. It would’ve been ok to be a disfigured and burned vampire but why did they also make him and NF a yetiiiiii

bluhhhh ok, I had therapy this morning so let me pass on the positive energy

Love. Seeing people care about each other, whether in real life, or in a fanfic, or in a movie or something. That’s the good shit!

Days when the sun is shining but there’s also rain in intermittent spots, so if you walk around you can see rainbows lurking from a variety of angles, and it’s like a treasure hunt.

Books that have been passed on between hungry readers, and the pages are yellowed with age, but the spine is weak from being flipped through lovingly multiple times.

The way that boy’ eyes light up when you compliment them in ways they aren’t expecting.

Sure she has a name. Her given name is Consort. :3

I tried to imagine a version of the Pushing Daisies AU where her first name actually was Consort (which is an INCREDIBLY CURSED CONCEPT) and this happened:

He offered her his arm with an overly formal bow. “My name is Lin Chen. It is an honor to make your acquaintance.”

She found herself laughing as she took his arm. “Lin Consort. The honor is all mine.”

Lin Chen froze, still bent in an attitude of exaggerated deference, arm outstretched. “I’m sorry, your name is what?”

She sighed. “Consort. It’s an old family name. Apparently there was a mistranslation a few generations back, but it’s become something of a tradition now.”

He blinks, and blinks again. She braces herself for the pickup line she has learned to expect. It cannot be worse than what Xiao Xuan had said, once upon a time, but she resigns herself to finding another flower shop anyway. Nothing good comes out of this sort of conversation, and she takes far fewer chances these days.

“Well it’s better than ‘Concubine,’ I suppose. And now, Dr. Lin, the best cakes in the city await us, if you will allow me.”

Huh…that is a really good question that I never thought about. My best guess is that they would just use a hat/cap to cover their head and hair, and insert some sort of wig/towel/other material inside the hat/cap to give the illusion of a full bun. That was actually something that ordinary men already did to make their hat/cap more structured.

Pictured below are some hat/cap styles from the Tang dynasty (Source). You can see how men could disguise baldness by wearing these and stuffing the inside with “fake buns”:

I love your blog too. Also it literally shows up as the only relevant result in google for hanfu questions sometimes. Thank you for the hard work and time you put in!!
