staring at my sqh/yqy peak lord fiance ficlet. consider this! sqh is still consorting with demons while this happens because why not. mobei-jun still exists and is fully aware of the whole "haha i'm engaged to my shixiong and everything is so fucking weird" and sqh is muttering about this as he looks through some northern desert stuff.
it's just. come on, yue-shixiong. we're engaged, you don't have to keep chasing after your xiao jiu -- not that sqh minds!!! if you two get along, great, that's everything that great airplane god wanted! but like, it gets really awkward when you run away while you're on a date with lil ole shang qinghua, and then everyone starts feeling very sorry for sqh for having a fiance so obviously in love with another man, which, okay, sqh absolutely took advantage of to get paperwork done at first, but it's starting to get wayyyyy more awkward now --
mbj finds himself in the wonderful position of being able to give sqh dating advice. does mbj date? no. but does he know what dating looks like? hell yeah. it seems a shame that his best spy/advisor/friend(?) doesn't know the answer to this.
"hit him," mbj suggests.
"what," sqh says.
"three times a day."
and then we get into a discussion on demon courting and sqh going "haha that's nice but yqy isn't a demon" and mbj is like "i don't understand why you don't try it, how else are you going to get his attention".
"humans don't court by punching people???"
"you don't appear to be making any progress doing this the human way." and mbj says this super condescendingly, too. like hey, sqh, you're such a loser. you have no game. of course you have no bitches. how can you have bitches if you don't punch people in the face.
well, yeah?? fuck you too, my king! it's not like you've ever had a date, are you not launching a boulder while being precariously balanced on your glass peak (me: i'm paraphrasing bu-ding-talk, check them out)? sqh could totally make progress if he wants to! not that he wants to! who wants to make progress with yqy??
anyway, this gets buried until the next time yqy pays sqq too much attention and sqh had the most resigned fucking look on his face. like come on. this again?
lqg is there. sqh makes incredibly awkward small talk. like haha hey how's your engagement to sqq. good? bad? ahahaha yeah, actually, sqh didn't have to ask, obviously it's bad. look, our fiances are running away with each other. people keep telling sqh that he needs to keep yue-shixiong's attention somehow, but all the advice is weird. in fact this guy last week said that sqh should hit yqy three times a day, not that sqh is going to try that --
"hmm," says lqg. "that's not a bad idea."
sqh is abruptly reminded that he is talking to lqg, a man who probably would be more interested in people if they punched him in the face.
"is that what you're doing with sqq???" says sqh.
the answer is no, of course not, don't be dumb. but like, if sqq WASN'T a poisonous snake of a man and a decent human being, lqg would mayhaps have his interest piqued with a good fight. that's so much better than flowers and haircombs. who wants courting gifts when you can have a good punch in the face.
"hahaha thanks liu-shidi but maybe not i think yue-shixiong could probably kill me if i tried," says sqh and scurries away.
fast-forward a week or two, in which sqh is having a stressful time. maybe it's tax season. maybe it's a shitty night hunt that he has no business being on. either way, yqy is there with him and good god is yqy zoned out.
is yqy actually zoned out? eh, maybe not. perhaps he is actually fully paying attention, but also he takes a look at a stand for fans while sqh is talking to him and sqh is like "shit, is this sqq again?" exasperation turning into anger while sqh is just, super stressed, and he just needs yqy to pay attention to him just this once, and the thought occurs -- well, at least two separate people have told him that he just needs to hit yqy --
all this to say that sqh just fucking decks yqy

I actually really applaud hyunwoo for telling haein when he did. It was very off putting that they were going to make her go ahead with the surgery without giving her this information and the way the episode repeatedly highlighted how conflicted hyunwoo was about it made me know he was going to tell her and it's the reason why he tells her that gets to me. He just didn't want her to go ahead without this information even knowing that she was not going to respond well and this is once again how hyunwoo has always been on her side because he knew she would have wanted to know and he wanted to give her that agency.
But you know what gets me more is that he still comes in, in the end and says I know you don't want this but live that's the most important thing right now, I'm telling you this because you should know but don't walk away just live, choose to live, just please listen to me.
And i know the next ep is going to be exhausting because haein has a lot to unpack, and she's going to have to make a choice (unless the clown gets in the way and causes an even worse situation where there is no room for choosing).

Teen shows all belong on a sexual-realism spectrum. On one side of the spectrum, you have something like Euphoria or Elite, TV shows that are just softcore porn set in high school. On the other side, you have Heartstopper, a show in which teenagers love to passionately kiss and never once think about doing anything more. In the middle of the spectrum, you have Sex Education, a show in which every teenager is horny but they're also all extremely awkward and clueless about what that means.

Hawkmoth would fucking HATE Spider-Man, could you imagine? I mean, he fits all the criteria to be a miraculous holder...but minus the miraculous. Skintight, animal/bug themed suit? Named after an animal/bug? Mask? One Power + durability? Hawkmoth is out here wondering WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS KID'S MIRACULOUS, DAMMIT...
He's everything Hawkmoth despises about both Chat Noir and Ladybug combined: puns, red suit, resourceful, efficient (more or less) etc etc etc.
But he doesn't have to transform back and forth to use his power again, actually making him more efficient.
Plus, I feel like Ladybug and Chat Noir are less unsettling. Aww, spots! Cat ears! A TAIL OMG. Then you get to spidey...⚪️⚪️ them fuckin eyes...
I got off track, but besides a lack of miraculous to steal, I feel like Spidey would be quick to track down + expose Hawkmoth for his crimes, landing him in jail without hesitation.

I was thinking about Nova today and just so happened to be updating some illustrations from the book I worked on.
This page was fun because it takes place in a horse magazine. I used to be a graphic designer in horse advertising (Kentucky), so I thought it would be a fun little bonus to draw myself into the background (Probably listening to some murder podcast, idk). I also included my beloved old baby pug, Nova, who passed away this summer.

Not usually my cup of tea, but imagine if Dean were pregnant with Sam's baby by the end of s4, knowing this through their breakup and eventually telling Sam this. I think Sam would've want to come back to Dean even earlier than he did in the series. Sam would be so all over Dean and the unborn child, he'd frantically try to find a way to right the wrongs he did. Dean cannot say yes to Michael, because the baby would not survive that. It is born shortly before The End, and Sam and Dean have a last moment of respite together with their little family. Then Sam jumps into the cage and Dean brings the baby to an old flame of his and stays there for a year. Soulless Sam doesn't go to them because it would seem logical to let the baby grow up in a normal environment. When he does come back, Dean immediately can tell that something is wrong with Sam, because his Sammy would never let him and their baby all alone while hunting with strangers. Etc etc...
