I think it's appropriate when you consider how big of an impact their presences had on Jon's life. One of them did his damnedest to make Jon a monster while the other became Jon's tie to humanity without even realizing. Hang on, hang on, I'm getting Feelings over this, I JUST LOVE THIS PODCAST SO MUCH

Xio I love this ask but it was weirdly harder than I expected? The Jiang Cheng ones all have a theme, see if you can spot it (hint: it is sadness. Jiang Cheng is well sad here sorry folks). Here goes!

Jiang Cheng

♦️ unlike most sect leaders he doesn’t sleep in a tent to himself on night hunts. It started as a necessity post-war because supplies were limited, and if anyone asks he has a very rehearsed answer about connecting with his disciples but really he just doesn’t like to sleep alone. i also really like the hc that he’s very good at embroidery.

🌙 absolutely burritoes himself in blankets. he’s never really been able to shake nightmares of cold and emptiness that set in after his core was crushed. the burritoing helps.

◻️ he is crazy good with babies, and as a result about three years post wei wuxian’s death he moves the lotus pier nursery next to the sect leader’s quarters. it’s definitely just so he can keep an eye on the next generation and not because sleepy babies crying is infinitely better than the cries he usually hears when he sleeps.

Jin Ling

♦️ he whittles! jiang cheng and qin su have offices and bedrooms which are filled with various early attempts of misshapen dogs, birds and fish, but over the years he has gotten very very good.

🌙 he refuses to sleep with a pillow. it’s terrible and uncomfortable.

Aww thank you friend!!! :))))))) 

aww <3

But is it a DELICIOUS cake? That's the real question here

It WAS thank god. I made double this recipe in 3 9-inch pans (only with reduced cinnamon and more ginger), and I’ve become sort of a snob about the taste of powdered sugar lol so I made cream cheese swiss meringue buttercream instead of the regular version.

ALSO idk if this was even necessary or not for a cake with 8 eggs in it but I did brush the layers with orange juice a few times while they were cooling. 

Also I have to admit it wasn’t REALLY as ugly as I thought at first lol I just needed distance to let go of the vision I’d originally had in my head.

But I have never, not once in my entire life ever heard any American pronounce calliope the way Jon has accused us of!! (Which was so very hurtful because my heart is full of love for him, Jon pls don't be mean 2 me, i will cry). Listen, either the American person I'm interacting with has never even heard of calliope (and/or Greek mythology) OR they're nerdy enough to know exactly how all these mythological names are pronounced. There is absolutely no in-between.

Smh. "kali-ope." honestly.

Jon I am hurt and offended!!!

Anyway, this episode really sticks to me because of the line, "I think he was trying to cry." Like jfc, man. imagine having self-mutilated against your will like that, enduring that much pain, not being able to properly die from it because some supernatural malevolent entity is getting its jollies off it, and you can't even cry about it. For some reason, that's the part that horrified me the most.

Also? Basira says something about how hospitals probably have their own version of Section 31, and let me tell you, as someone who has worked in a hospital setting before, I am DYING to find out how paranormal events are handled in hospitals. You've got your doctor patient confidentiality of course, but under certain circumstances there's wiggle room there when it comes to reporting stuff. I'm just imagining a records room full of medical case files about victims of the paranormal. And you KNOW there'd be at least one medical professional hoping to research and use the paranormal stuff in their work.
