Will I stick to the plan or put in any extra effort to organize? Highly unlikely. Will I aggressively repost everything I come across under the week's tag? Absolutely. Actually, I'll be on vacation in another city during that time, so I hope I'll have more time for content, but I'll warn you right away that I can't promise anything. The more I promise, the worse I get at it. I hope you enjoy it.

I think we should give modern!Zhuzhi-lang a huge pet snake, which he will, a little awkwardly, but extremely proudly, carry out to his favorite guests. Like, the highest sign of affection for this antisocial bun.

Well, my brain categorically disagrees. It's been boycotting this miserable fanfic for three months now.

I loved this joke sooooo much that now TLJ is doomed to wear prints with funny mushrooms for the rest of my obsession. [forever and ever, until death do us part]

So, in some way, Binghe obviously feels like this is the only thing in which Zhuzhi-Lang has outdone him and taken first place (and it seems to be one of the few that truly matters, unlike the number of school friends, or good grades, or…). No matter how precious a son he is, he will never have that special bond that Tianlang-Jun maintains with his nephew.

you tell him a line from a book, he tells you ten dirty jokes. and immediately the reading becomes more fun. (TLJ helps his husband avoid exploding with rage after reading middling essays.)

sooooo, "the advertising personality of fly agaric ties" 🥰 (in modern!au that's exactly how he's listed in Xiang Fei's contacts. For his excessive love of crappy clothes.)
