book!Wei Wuxian so far is like “i like to pretend to be gay to manipulate people and freak them out and sometimes just for fun bc i’m shameless haha but i’m totally 100% straight even though i’ve never so much as noticed a woman in my life. totally unrelated, but has anyone else noticed how pretty Lan Wangji is and how piercing his eyes are and how pleasantly he smells of sandalwood? i’m going to play with his clothing while he carries me in his strong, muscular arms tralala.”

With Xie Lian in Ghost City, he no longer has to collect scraps and eat off the ground, right? So Hua Cheng tells him to go explore, get himself something nice idk spend his money cause thats what its there for, right?

So, a few hours later Xie Lian returns all embarrassed like "omg i spent so much money!"

And Yin Yu, who's keeping the books, expects something like half the treasury or whatever

Meanwhile Xie Lian spent the equivalent of like...20$

I feel like Lan Wangji's internal monologue each time he had to hear Jiang Cheng speeches is "You stupid bitch"

Okay, but I wanna see a superhero story where the guy is absolute shit about covering his identity up, and before long it’s NOT a secret to anyone… but the hero.  And like, his entire office/school/neighbourhood puts all the real work into keeping his identity secret from the world at large while simultaneously working together to make sure the hero doesn’t know they’re doing it. “Man, that guy looks just like The Masked Protector.”

“Shut it!”

“No, really, look… he’s the right height, skin tone, eye color, and he’s even got that–” “NO, REALLY, SHUT IT.”

“I’m just saying–”

“Look, Ralph has saved the planet twice, and this town like fifteen times.  He needs to be able to take off his mask and have a normal life.  If he figures out we all know, he won’t be able to relax.  So Shut.  The Fuck.  Up.”

….. “Oh, shit, it’s about to come over the radio that there’s a bank robbery.  Can someone send Ralph for coffee?”

…..

“Hey, Jolene, it’s Marsha.  Look, my house caught fire and Ralph is over here in costume putting it out while I wait for the fire department.  I know you guys had a date tonight….”

“Thanks, Marsha.  I’ll call him and tell him I’m running late so he doesn’t stress about it.”

…..

“Hey, let’s do a Masked Protector Cosplay Contest.”

“That’s a little on the nose, don’t you think?”

“Well, Ralph hasn’t updated his costume since the mid eighties.  I’ve hired a couple of designers to come up with some new designs, maybe it will give him some inspiration…”

…..

“How the hell did you manage to knock over the whole table?”

“Oh, Ralph needed a distraction so he could {finger quotes} ‘slip away unnoticed’.”

…..

“God, it was a disaster.  Me and Ralph were in the elevator when the bad guy shut off the power.  I had to fake a seizure so Ralph could get away.”

……

”Kids, you can’t play on the fire escape.  How’s Ralph going to fly out his window with you sitting RIGHT THERE?”

…..

“Jolene, what’s wrong?” “I was talking to Ralph about maybe spicing things up in the bedroom.  Maybe some role play.  I wanted to do him in the costume, just once, y’know?” “Uh-oh… did he catch on?”

“Well, no, he agreed….” <sobs>

“Jolene?” “He asked me to dress up as Statuesque!”  <WAILS>

lu guang (the responsible one) after cheng xiaoshi dies: honestly? fuck the timeline

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

Imagine you're Lan Xichen. You've spent the past decade+ worrying about your younger brother who, according to your own perspective on things, fell wildly in love with an evil heretic cultivator, kinda betrayed your sect for him, got punished within an inch of his life by your elders, and spent subsequent years in mourning when said evil heretic cultivator got killed.

You're starting to think that your brother is never going to get over this, is always going to be holding onto a certain amount of grief and anger and lonesome distance.

But then one day, he brings another guy home! And, yes, this guy is not perfect either. He's also a heretic cultivator and a notorious lunatic, who is in a bad position with your own situationship. But! Maybe Wangji is finally starting to move on? Even if his bad taste persists, this one is at least more manageable. How fortuitous that your stubborn, obsessive brother should finally find a new yeah no that's Wei Wuxian, isn't it?

It's just Wei Wuxian again.

you gotta be able to say "die"

you gotta be able to say "suicide"

you gotta be able to talk about "sex"

they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"

like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.
