You know the fic is going to be great when 😈

the feminine urge to post a wip even though it’s not edited it’s not complete it’s nothing like you envisioned, and yet — u want your three mutual blorbos to pls pat u on the head, to pls validate u, to tell u ur words are something and that you aren’t alone and that the words on the screen are worth the endeavour. and sometimes it’s about the one to one understanding of the words on the page. sometimes it’s about the story making it from head to paper. sometimes it’s just about being deranged in your DMs and making the idea happen just for your own sake, or the two of you. the snake eats itself but it sustains and sustains, and i just think that’s beautiful.

Calamity!Xie Lian: I don't trust you. Don't hide your true emotions anymore, that's an order.

Wuming: Yes, Your Highness. (Oh no, I’m afraid to I can’t show Dianxia my unworthy ugly face! But how will I show my true emotions then?)

Wuming after an hour of reflection:

His inventiveness and cruelty amaze the imagination, the blade of his scimitar is stained with the blood of hundreds of enemies. Don't mess with him...

I've been seeing a big influx of reposted art in MXTX fandom tags and it's making me fucking insane and furious so I'm gonna make this real simple.

If you did not create a piece of art work, and you do not have either explicit or passive permission from the person who did, DO NOT POST THE ART.

Explicit permission: you personally asked them and they directly said yes.

Passive permission: there is a statement on their account indicating they allow reposts.

There are no other options. If neither of the above is the case, do not post it.

There is exactly one exception: official art. You should still credit the artist if possible but you don't need their permission. And if you're not sure it's official art, refer back to above.

I'm so sick of this shit. I don't care if you saw it on Pinterest or Facebook. You can't assume other reposters had permission, get it yourself or don't post. I don't care if you can't access Weibo. You're not fucking entitled to steal the hard work of other creators. Full stop.

those hualian plushies are so funny to me. people will really spend an arm and a leg on them and then dunk them in a public pool

#not even exaggerating i've seen pics of people doing this #it's just... so refreshing maybe? #tgcf #heaven official's blessing #hualian

What’s the consensus on what Hua Cheng did with the statues?

It may be controversial, but I suspect it was hornier than whatever Luo Binghe was doing with Shen Qingqiu’s corpse…dressing it every morning, making it breakfast, and sobbing.

Like, I don’t think Hua Cheng actually did anything untoward with the statues, but he probably had thoughts about maybe, just maybe, kissing a hand, or a cheek, or — Anyway, he would feel very guilty about having such thoughts and atone for a long time...until the thoughts inevitably sprung up again, leading to more atonement. Basically, just an endless cycle of horny atonement.

Chapter 10 - The Veldt

GUESS WHO WAS PRODUCTIVE!!

If this is your first time coming across me spamming the tags with this fic, here's the synopsis:

Xie Lian, a make-shift, broken cyborg, collects metal scraps in an effort to mend and maintain his body. On a night like any other, where androids and cyborgs roam the busy street markets and clubs, Xie Lian encounters the first living, breathing human he's seen in years.

"Even if my body...is in the abyss, my heart...will be in paradise"

This fic is turning into a re-imagining of the original canon with several divergent elements set in a sci-fi world. If that sounds like your thing I'd love it if you checked it out ❤️

(Do be warned that I haven't planned a single thing besides ruminating in my head and listening to silly little songs, if that counts)

Shipping fictional characters isn’t representative of your moral values. It’s representative of your particular psychic damage and the themes and motifs that haunt you. Hope this helps.

Chapter 8 / 15 "Guilt"

Summary: Hua Cheng finishes his research; Xie Lian comes to several realizations.

Additional Tags: Coffin Rescue, Coffin AU, AU - Canon Divergence, AU - Different First Meeting, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Identity Reveal, Revenge Plot, POV Alternating, Blood and Injury, Dream-Reality Confusion, Canon-Typical Violence, Hua Cheng AND Xie Lian have Self Esteem issues, Hua Cheng & Xie Lian Invented Love, Slow Burn, Mutual Pining, Hua Cheng bout to make it 34 gods

Chapter 8 is up. I gotta give a content warning for this one for some self-harm related thoughts on HC's part. Not like anything he actually would act upon but he's... upset in this one, so fair warning.

Also, this chapter ran a bit long at almost 7K words, jsyk. Thank you very much @afanbeingatheart for being my backup beta-reader!

whunmpee that breaks my heart the most isn’t whumpee that is terrified, but whumpee that is happy — not a feisty kind of happy where they laugh and mock whumper, but an innocent, childlike and naive kind of happy where they don’t know what is about to happen to them. they still think that they are safe, even when they’re held captive by whumper, because they are so pure and innocent that they don’t know there are bad people in this world.

they don’t understand what they did wrong when whumper tortured them. they don’t understand why any of this is happening. they were literally smiling innocently when they were escorted to the room in which they’d be tortured.

this literally fucks me up. I need caretaker to come save them asap :(

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!
