Chapter Two: Hand Soap
Your hands were covered in coffee grounds. Of course Sans just “had to go to work” and he “was almost late” and couldn’t spare a single minute to clean up after he knocked over the container of specialty South American coffee grounds.
You made a mental note to get him back later, maybe put the coffee grounds in his slippers? Maybe in his bed? Maybe in his skull while he was sleeping? Decisions, decisions…
As you fantasized your revenge, your hands were busy with cleaning the mess. To even more detriment, these skeletons did not own not one broom in their whole house. And when you asked Sans where the broom was so that you could sweep, he asked “what’s a broom?”. So you had to get on your knees and scoop of the small mountain of coffee grounds. You didn’t know how these skeletons survived.
Your hands, now considerably dirty, needed to be cleaned. You got up and turned to the kitchen sink to clean them, only to find the soap diluted with water. You sighed, trying to make the best of it, but it was so diluted that the coffee just got watery and combined when you tried to wash it off.
Now frustrated, you decided to walk past the foyer and up the stairs to the nearest bathroom. This bathroom was shared by Edge, Stretch, and Blue, it also had diluted soap. You would think that Edge in particular would have better standards of soap to wash his hands with.
Continuing to the next bathroom, which was shared by you, Cinnabar, and Russ. There was a similar issue. You remembered that the soap was a little low this morning, Russ and Cinnabar were going to answer for their crimes as soon as they came home.
Traversing the hallway to the third-nearest bathroom which was Sans’, you would’ve usually been hesitant to enter someone’s room without their permission, but right now you were so frustrated and coffee-handed that you could care less. Despite your frustration, the same problem occurred in Sans’ bathroom. “This is ridiculous…” you muttered to yourself.
It wasn’t your first time encountering this issue. But when you’d walk about the house to another bathroom, at least the second one you went to had pure, non-ninety-percent-water hand soap.
Your last hope was Papyrus and the basement, and you had hoped with all your little human soul that Papyrus would be your salvation. That Papyrus would be the one to save you from this coffee-grounds-on-hands nightmare. You reached his bathroom and the same lack of real soap was found.
You were considering up wiping your hands on Sans’ bed sheets.
With just a sliver of PATIENCE left in you, you decided to go all the way down the stairs to the basement bathroom. You found the same problem.
You took a deep inhale, decidedly fed up with this whole ordeal.
“mornin’, sweetheart”
“Red, get your coat. We’re going to the store to buy hand soap,” you thought for a moment, “also a broom.”
“what the hell is a broom?”
—
Coffee grounds still on your hands, you were on a mission. Eyes narrowed, hands on the wheel, you took Red in your car and to the store. Red thought the whole situation was hilarious and started laughing as soon as you told him, and continued to laugh until now.
“oh! oh it hurts! hahahah!” He had your passenger seat laid back to accommodate for him. You silently noted just how large he was, which wasn’t a bad thing, just interesting. You didn’t know how a skeleton could be “large”.
“I’m glad someone is getting a kick out of this.” You remarked, rolling your eyes.
“hey doll, at least you have free car freshener after this!” he laughed, holding a hand to his would-be-stomach in pain.
“Maybe you should get car freshener? Yours always smells like mustard.” you shivered in the memory. You and Red arrived home at the same time one evening and when he opened his door to speak to you, you got punched in the face with the smell of the mentioned tangy yellow paste. It was so potent that it threw you back a little like how a small tidal wave would.
“i would want nothin’ better than to be surrounded by golden delicious,” he recalled fondly, getting a dreamy look to him. This seemed to knock him out of his laughing spell however, which you were grateful for.
Face contorting into a look of disgust, “You have odd tastes.”
“don’t knock it tell ya’ try it, doll. you might just find yourself in love.”
“Over my dead body.”
“don’ threaten me with a good time.”
You shot him a look of surprise mixed with excuse-me-what-the-fuck-did-you-just-say. Acutely noticing your rage, his lackadaisical smile turned nervous. “s-sorry sweetheart! i didn’ mean it! h-honest!” he had his hands up in defense.
Satisfied with his apology, you turned your attention back to the road. After this, a somewhat thick tension began to settle between the two of you. You ignored it, not caring about the lack of talking. It allowed you to focus on the road better anyways.
“soooo, what’s school like?” he muttered, trying to ease the tension.
“Tiring at times, but otherwise it’s educational I guess? It’s just learning so that I have better opportunities, not much to it.” You shrugged, getting closer and closer to your destination.
From your peripheral vision, it looked like he furrowed his brows. “well, ain’t it fun at least? i would think school was interactive and entertainin’, what otha’ way would there be ta’ learn?”
Did he not experience school before? “Much of the opposite, especially in graduate school. Maybe it’s fun in elementary, but after that stage, learning becomes more and more tedious.”
You took a glance to his face, he was frowning, usual smile now crooked. “that sounds awful…”
You shrugged. “It is what it is. I mean, have you ever experienced school before?”
“no”
Your eyes widened in surprise, turning to him just slightly. “So you don’t have an education? Like not even kindergarten?”
“first of all, i do “have an education”. like i know pemdas and how to read and whatnot. second of all, what the hell is “kindergarten”?” he stated sassily, enunciating the “r” in kindergarten for emphasis. He might’ve even sounded a little offended.
“Kindergarten is the first stage of systematic schooling young kids go through, well that’s if you don’t count preschool. Did monsters not have a school system for their society?” you raised a brow. Your knowledge on the underground was incredibly sparse, forged on small snippets on what Cinnabar already told you that you just happened to remember. You usually didn’t like to ask about it, because the underground seemed to be not so great for any of your roommates to discuss openly.
“well, uh, we didn’… i mean we… everything that we uhh…” his eyelights got darker and darker.
Well now you felt bad.
“Sorry for asking, just disregard what I said.” You waved to him, attempting to soothe the tension and absolve your guilt.
Here comes that familiar tension. You exhaled in result. You noticed that with Fell and Edge in particular, that whenever the Underground came up they quickly became tense. You were somewhat concerned, always wanting to ask what was wrong. But since you weren’t close, you always defaulted to an apology and running away to leave them alone. Only now, you were stuck right in this small confined metal space on wheels.
“It would seem like we’re here!” You said quickly, thanking the universe that you had something to say. Your announcement also knocked Fell out of his trance and within a blink of an eye, his light returned to his eyes.
“now i’ll finally see what a broom is,” he chuckled, acting as if he wasn’t just a little rattled.
“You’re probably going to be disappointed in the results honestly. It’s not too interesting.”
“oh doll, any dumb human shit is interesting to me.”
—
“you were right this is borin’.”
You stood before the mighty cyan broom with white bristles, hung up against the white peg board. You were in the housekeeping section of the store. You had now wished you double checked what these skeletons also didn’t have before you came here.
You chuckled. “I told you so.”
“i mean, humans got to live on the surface for years and some loser created somethin’ that’s only used to sweep stuff up? you all couldn’t think of anythin’ else?” He asked, disappointed.
You shrugged for like the third time today. “Humans are practical, not at all fun like you guys.”
“well that’s fa true!”
You slowly furrowed your brows, turning before him. “‘well that’s for true’?” You repeated back to him, amused.
Red seemed confused. “yea, what about it?”
“And you say you have an education.”
Now it was his turn to give you a glare.
“Sorry! I didn’t mean it!”
He sighed, taking the broom from where it was hanging. “What’s next on our list, scholar?”
Jeez this not being educated thing really seemed to strike a chord. “We need hand soap as you might recall.” You showed your hands for emphasis, which were still covered in coffee grounds.
“heheheheh yeah.” he giggled.
You continued on your journey to obtain the gilded hand soap, Red in tow, definitely debating whether or not to poke you with the head of the broom.
You looked all around the store to any section otherwise applicable to where hand soap might be and you couldn’t find any. This was your worst nightmare. Red seemed to enjoy your misery, but was not happy with all the walking you two were doing all over the store.
You ended up approaching an employee about it. They were a small monster that looked like cat or a dog, either was fair game honestly. They had white fur, and were wearing a yellow and light blue striped shirt with a little green vest that has their name tag. ‘*Temmie*,’ you read, ‘*Interesting name*.’
“Hello, Temmie is it? Where might the hand soap be?”
“Hoi! I am TEMMIE! I wok heRe! yayA!”
You heard Red snickering behind you, more at your situation than the store employee.
“Wonderful, but do you know where the hand soap is?” You asked again, trying to be polite.
��buy temmie flakes! me went to cooleg for sails!”
You frowned just a smidge. Red was shaking with how much he was containing his laughter.
“Hey, Mx. ! I can help you!” Said a voice.
Finally someone helpful!
You turned behind you to see another little dog or cat creature thing. Their green vest read “Bob”.
“Sorry about my colleague, you were requesting hand soap correct?” You nodded. “I see you’re in the home goods section. Did you look in the sanitization section?” You nodded again. “The kids section?” You nodded again. “Even the utilities section?” You felt like your head might pop off with how much you were nodding.
“Oh great Asgore! I‘ll look in the back and see if we have any.” Bob said, quickly turning a corner to go look.
Red was smiling. “the day can’t get easier for you huh, doll?” You simply sighed in reply, hunching over in hopefully-short-lived defeat. “you sure have a latte on your plate.”
You giggled a little at that. This situation was too stupid not to. Red seemed to beam at this a little, becoming considerably more perky in demeanor. “i mean, if i was in your situation, i would’ve bean home and given up by now.”
Your giggling turned to chuckles. He continued gleefully. “i would be a little depresso if i was you right now.”
You began to laugh out loud, surprising Red and making him laugh too. You could see through squinted eyes a small dusty red blush form on his cheeks.
After a moment of laughing, your energy died down. You looked at him, giving him eye contact. “Thank you Red, I appreciated that.”
His face suddenly bursted with red, but then quickly faded as he looked away from you. “n-no problem, sweetheart! anytime! if you ever need a couple of laughs, i’m the funniest monster around.”
You looked at him with mock skepticism. “Now don’t sell yourself too long, Red.”
He began to wear an expression of mock offense. “what? i make ya feel better and that’s how ya do me? you might as well rip my SOUL to pieces, doll.”
You giggled at his silliness, putting a hand up to your mouth. You then heard foot steps coming your way, it was Bob!
“Sorry, but we don’t have any hand soap in the back. And I made sure I looked, we are out out.”
You sighed, shoulders falling. “I appreciate you looking, thank you for helping me.”
Admitting defeat, you take Red to the self checking aisle to purchase your broom.
—
Now back home, hands stiffened by dried sticky coffee grounds, you sat in the den. Red went somewhere, probably to his room. You were alone.
Until Cinnabar came in and saw you.
“You’re home early.” You remarked.
“And You Have Coffee Grounds On Your Hands… Why?” He replied, raising a brow.
You sighed, being reminded of your predicament. “The house doesn’t have any hand soap for me to use to wash it off, and when I went to go buy some with Red, the store had run out.”
“Ahhh…” He hummed in response, brows furrowed for just a moment in something other than thought. “Did You Look In Our Supply Closet?”
You didn’t know they had one of those. “You guys have a supply closet?”
He playfully rolled his eyes, putting a hand on his hip. “C’mon Y/n, We’re Not Savages!”
Well until today, two of them had no idea what a broom was so you wouldn't put savage past them.
Decidedly leaving that detail out, you raise your eyebrow in skepticism. Cinnabar sighs and softly grabs your wrist, deliberately avoiding your hands, taking you to the supply closet close to the kitchen.
You could cry right then and there. There was hand soap! Finally you could wash your crusty hands and finally go back to your soft, supple skin! “Thank you so much Cinnabar!” You take a bottle of soap and run to the kitchen sink.
“No Problem Dearest!” He yells to you as you ran, giggling at your enthusiasm.

Wild Magic Wild Magic Wild Magic!
Hahahah! All right, here we go!
Wild Magic is the idea of there being slightly more active magic in Middle-earth than in canon. Bilbo and the dwarves camp for the night in a dell Bilbo has heard about from rumours for being Magical. Gandalf isn't there to back Bilbo up, having disappeared most inconveniently to do Wizard Things. The dwarves ignore Bilbo's pleas to move on and, well, come morning find themselves very much not in dwarven shape.
This massive hiccup in the quest brings Bilbo's caring nature to the foreground and, even in the beginning, the dwarves start to recognise and respect that. Most of the fic is from Bilbo's perspective, with some POV switching to various dwarves throughout. (Unfortunately, due to Muse Issues, this fic is on hiatus until futher notice, but I hope to get back to it eventually.)
The Snippet, from Chapter 2:
In that brief second, he realised he would never, ever tell the dwarves “I told you so”. Because they knew now. They had paid dearly for their ignorance and dismissal, and he would never, ever rub that in. Not because at least three of the present Company could maul him, but because the raven had been so clearly panicked and Bofur and Ori were somewhere in this mess. He straightened his spine and said instead, “We should tidy up the camp at least. Have you eaten? I could get something started?”
This was met with deafening silence and the animals – dwarves, he corrected – exchanged glances.
Bilbo shuffled nervously. “I don’t know how long this will last, but it won’t be just a few hours.” He took a deep breath and looked at Thorin (or rather at a point just to the left of Thorin’s front paws). “You need help. I can help.”
And a snippet from Chapter 9, the final chapter before the hiatus (cliffhanger warning, sorry!):
Dwalin was afraid and, oh, how he hated it.
He laboured to keep up. The tight rope around his head and neck served as a cruel mockery of a horse’s bridle and was attached to the wagon, and the only way to maintain slack was to keep walking, so he plodded along behind the wagon that held occupied cages.
Bifur, Bofur, Nori and Fili lay in their confines, some trying to sleep while others stared unseeingly through the bars. Fili, at least, was one who slept; the Man called Hayes had removed the arrow from his wing and staunched the bleeding, and now the wing was wrapped in bandages and secured to his side. He would live, thank Mahal. Bofur, too, was asleep and if Dwalin could be grateful for anything, it was that he had been dumped into a cage instead of kept in that sack; Dwalin had feared he’d suffocate. Bifur was awake and muzzled like him with rope. His gaze was glassy, either lost in a daze that could last hours or drowning in memories. Nori, like Bifur, did not sleep, trying to hide his wincing as the wagon jostled his leg mercilessly. Their gazes met and Dwalin couldn’t even offer a word of encouragement with his muzzle tied shut.
/Dori?/ Nori asked, his whisper barely audible over the creaking wagon wheels and the clop of horse hooves.
Dwalin jerked his nose towards the front of the line. Dori was somewhere up there, his scent almost overwhelmed by the stench of horse and Man. Nori blinked once in acknowledgement and curled up tighter in his cage. Dwalin heaved a sigh and kept walking, knowing it was either walk or be dragged, and despite the fear, he couldn’t help a sliver of hope.
Hope for Thorin, Balin, Oin and Gloin, Kili, Bombur and Ori that they were safe and that they’d found Gandalf. Hope for Bilbo that he was all right, wherever he was. And hope for them all that Mahal had not abandoned them.
If you'd like to check out more, I update with the hashtags theredscreech writing and theredscreech update for all fanfic and writing I do. This fic is also on AO3, if you'd like to go reading!
Thanks for the ask!

damn they killed me from ur inbox...
dexter 0,6,8
Frfr top ten tumblr moments ever. Anyways HAHAHAH YES A CHANCE TO TALK ABT MY GUY (also sorry I took so long I had to go to a volunteer event)
0. - The first thing I think of when I see the character
Honestly? @/dexter-erotoph's art is a quick popup for me. I found his account when I first got into Spooky Month and it definitley helped enhance my initial levels of Dexter mania into the frothing torrent it is today. Seeing the Dexter Paws[TM] post in an urgent care clinic is still a core memory lol (Odie if you see this you rock dude :3). Otherwise I think abt how cute he is (lol), how tragic he is, and Warrior Cats in descending order. Something something murder cat connection idk man I connect everything to Warriors in my brain lol. OH and ratcandy bc im still obsessed with it
6. - A theory about them I think is unlikely
Hmmmmmmmmm this one takes a little thinkin, mainly bc people don't usually make alot of theories related to Dex lol. I guess I'd have to say the Dexter Velseb theory, I love the theory / concept so much and worm it into my ideas often, but in terms of "things that are actually likely to be canon" I feel like the Dexter Velseb theory is pretty low down. Won't stop me though
8. - A sad / evil HC for them
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD YIPPPEEE I have. A lot lmao. A few of them like off the top of my head
- Before Unwanted Guest happened he was a dude who actually liked kids alot, but after everything he can't stand them
- This is a little niche, I like to think he got his scratch from his first ever kill, a neighborhood cat. It jacked up his eye bc he was messing with it, and later on the cat came to "apologize" to the boy but Dexter's needs had begun to become more intense around that time and it was messing with him enough that when he saw a small warm body to overpower he just kinda went for it without thinking much. He buried the cat somewhere in the woods and everyone just thought it was missing, meaning a bunch of missing pet posters that kinda haunted lil Dexter for a while. And then Dexter would end up on the missing posters himself, with people thinking he was still findable.
- My man did not have a good home life!!! Especially because I like to toy with the whole Dexter Velseb theory, I don't think Bob would be the most nurturing or even-tempered parent. I also like to think its one of the reasons Dexter's needs are such a big issue for him, Bob saw a little boy with psychological issues and instead of taking him to see someone he totally fed into and encouraged them
- Dexter is still sort of tethered to his body, he can't re-enter it because Moloch refuses to let him in but because of his death and the state of his body Dexter can't really pass on and keeps coming back to it. Imagine staring down at your own mangled body flopped on a morgue table watching a lady try to pull the teeth out of your head because she's made a sort of pet project out of your brutal death. And your own eyes are staring back at you with loathing.
- Speaking of body, Moloch taking his body hurt. REAL bad. I mean, he had extended hardened claws, teeth piercing through his mask, horns.... that definitely wasn't an easy transformation. I don't think Dexter got kicked from the body right away and could feel Moloch stealing his body and beginning to destroy it. I can't remember who made it but I remember seeing art of Dexter post-mortem where because the mask stayed on during his body reshaping it messed up his face real bad, imagine feeling your bones and muscles reformat but your head is basically stuck in a bit ziploc bag. Dexter got kicked out of the body pretty fast but the sensation sticks with him, and watching the transformation finish from the sidelines probably wasn't a good feeling
- This is a little more AU-ish but if Dexter got his body back I think it would be almost worse, I can't imagine being forced to live again post-mortem for the 3rd time would be pleasant mentally, and also his body is now ruined enough that it's impossible for him to return to his old life. Not just in an appearance way but probably internally too, a body somewhere between life and death is probably a bit rusty on the insides. So he's kinda stuck, bc he can't really get a new body and his old body isn't worth it anymore, but he can't let go of it
I like to bully Dexter alot as a form of endearment lol, but I'll cut a little bit of the bitter with something sweet - I like to think the cat in his missing photo is his pet cat, her name is Sasha and she helps that loser man calm down :3 I also like to think he collects taxidermy and tries to make it himself, some of it is a little botched tho lol
Anyways, thank you for asking!!! (And indulging me w/ talking abt Dexter lmao)

Let's take a survey I first took exactly six years ago and compare my answers then to now because that will totally not make me squirm!
What would you do if you found out you were pregnant right now?
2017: Mostly be confused as I’ve never had sex with a guy, let alone be alone with one…and just hope my parents take my side. As for the baby, I want to think I’d fight for my right to keep it, but I never know how I’ll respond to something until it actually happens to me.
2023: Yeah, I see nothing much has changed. I think I'll spend most of the time fighting for the fact that I am not in fact pregnant.
What would you do if your cell phone was stolen?
2017: I think my anxiety would eventually lead me to cry. Everything important and every memory is in there, so it’s pretty much losing like a year of my life.
2023: I'd definitely be panicking but I'd fight the urge to cry so I can act smartly and ask every nearby establishment for help and review their CCTVs. Can't afford to lose my phone considering so many tidbits from both my personal and work lives are on there.
What would you do if your best friend told you they were gay?
2017: This has happened to me and when it did, I remember giving her a blank look and saying, “Okay.”
2023: I would thank them both for trusting me enough to tell me, but I imagine I'd be very inquisitive with Angela. Asking her how'd she find out, how she's feeling, how she plans to move forward with her current relationship and all.
What would you do if I told you God isn’t real?
2017: Shrug, I guess? I knew that already.
2023: I wouldn't do anything different from what my 19 year old self said.
What would you do if your religion was made illegal?
2017: I don’t belong to one.
2023: I still identify as atheist.
What would you do if your pet got hit by a car?
2017: Go after the perpetrator. I would be so, so furious.
2023: Yeah no I wouldn't let that motherfucker go. I don't need their money so I wouldn't even bother about that, but I wouldn't be hesitating to give them hell regardless of the outcome for my dog.
What would you do if the world ran out of chicken fingers?
2017: Fortunately I don’t often eat those so it won’t be much of a loss to me.
2023: I feel like this would be very concerning considering this implies a bigger shortage issue for chicken altogether. Chicken fingers themselves I wouldn't be too bothered by, but I'd be worried about the larger domino effects of, like, the whole world running out of chicken. Is this mindset what it's like to become older? Hahahah.
What would you do if you lost your job?
2017: Be sullen. Maybe tell Gab at once.
2023: A very small part of me would be at least a little relieved because hey, I'd take any door to step out of my current workplace lol. But it definitely wouldn't be without me fighting for certain rights and benefits, like severance pay and support while I look for a new job.
What would you do if your best friend got an abortion?
2017: Understand. Be there.
2023: Still the same things.
What would you do if your father left your mother?
2017: Difficult question to answer. I don’t have much of a relationship with either, so it’s hard to picture myself empathizing with them. I think I am more likely to reach out to my friends for support than communicate with my parents ever.
2023: Oof, how times have changed. I would be very pissed with my dad because that's totally blindsiding the rest of us. I'd demand why he's suddenly made such a decision, but as the eldest daughter I think I'd also simultaneously racking my brain for ways to see how I could help keep the family together.
I'm not affectionately close with my mom so I don't think I'd have the capacity to be...around her if she cries or whatnot, but I would be silently watching over her and being on her side.
What would you do if your little sister was bulimic?
2017: I would feel bad. But I know she’s also much closer to her friends, so I’ll let her be; although I would keep an eye on her in secret.
2023: Be on standby in case she needed any kind of support from me, financial or otherwise.
What would you do if you only had a month to live?
2017: First of all I’d be happy lol. Then I would spend every day with Gabie, and majority with Angela.
2023: Resign with immediate effect and spend my remaining days traveling to wherever and trying the things I've always wanted to do.
What would you do if you were failing math class?
2017: This has happened to me several times, not an unfamiliar concept. I remember not really caring…it was high school and nothing you do in high school will matter one bit as soon as you step out of it. I did cry about in junior year though, when I failed geometry; but that was the one time it got to me.
2023: Yeah, math and I had an extreme love-hate relationship in high school but the overarching thing about it is that I just didn't care at the end of the day. I was headed to journalism school and in my head it was just like, "What are they gonna do about my failed tests? Prevent me from marching on my graduation?" lol.
What would you do if aliens attacked?
2017: Approach them.
2023: LOL, so bold. I'd probably find a place to hide but also accept my fate.
What would you do if your favorite show was cancelled?
2017: I don’t have a favorite ongoing show, and my all-time favorite ended in 2013.
2023: Possibility of cancelation is exactly one of the reasons why I avoid starting a show while it is still ongoing, haha. I'd rather jump on a series knowing it has an actual finale because I can't deal with cliffhangers.
What would you do if you found out your parents were having another child?
2017: I think I’d be pretty excited. No but I’ll be super honest, I’ll be such a mom to them HAHAHAHA. I looooove kids.
2023: Be in shock considering my mom has had her whole uterus removed.
What would you do if your phone and internet were disconnected?
2017: Not uncommon in the Philippines, a country with one of the worst internet connections. I’d be moping around the house, and I’d be more likely to hang at a cafe since that’s where all the wi-fi’s at.
2023: Yikes. Even my phone? Idk dude. I'd probably turn on the TV cos there would 100% be a bigger service provider issue at play.
What would you do if your house burned down?
2017: Ugh I hate this question. I obviously won’t be happy, and I think my mom’s choice would be to move back temporarily to our old house with my cousins and grandmother.
2023: Grab the dogs and think of step two. In such a situation I can't afford to be just another crying/stressed face in the family.
What would you do if you got lost while on vacation in a foreign country?
2017: THRILLED AS FUCK–as long as I’m with Gab. Getting lost is always an adventure for us, and in this case we’ll depend on the kindness of strangers. It’s a completely different story if I’m alone and ended up lost.
2023: Rely on data to help bring me back to familiar territory. If even data is spotty, I won't really have a choice but to just depend on the kindness of strangers like what I said, but I'll also have to rely on my gut as well to determine something like that.
What would you do if you got drafted into the army?
2017: That doesn’t happen here. Army’s an option, and it’s your choice if you want to attend military school in college.
2023: Go to my lawyer aunt and see if there is anything I can do to reverse the decision.
What would you do if your favorite band broke up?
2017: Oh come the fuck on. Paramore has been giving me the will to live since god knows when, don’t do that to me.
2023: If either BTS or Paramore broke up, I would obviously be gutted but I think at this point I would also be extremely happy for them. It wouldn't have been an easy decision to make, and so if they ever get to that point it's likely because they're already content – and that's difficult to get upset by.
What would you do if your parents had set up an arranged marriage for you?
2017: Not agree to it. It’s not their life?
2023: Laugh and decline. If they're being adamant about it I imagine I would set out on my own to escape.
What would you do if you lost all your fingers?
2017: I’d be bummed, but make the most out of my hands.
2023: Realistically, I could end up depressed and I'd take a while to learn how to cope with the situation.
What would you do if you found out you were adopted?I
2017: I guess I’d be relieved that I don’t have the same blood as my sucky family, but also confused at why they would want it to keep it from me for so long.
2023: I'm really grateful things have evolved for the better between me and my family; it pains me a little bit to read through what I initially said. Anyway, I'd think I was getting pranked or scammed or whatever. There's no way that'd be right as I look exactly like my mom lol.
What would you do if your parents adopted a child?
2017: I would be happy with the new addition. It’s gonna be quite an adjustment, but I’ve always loved kids anyway.
2023: I'd ask them what led them to such a decision, and embrace the new addition/dynamic. I'd probably end up a second mom to the child because I am pretty protective when it comes to kids.
What would you do if there was a hobo following you down an empty street?
2017: Walk faster until I get somewhere more crowded. Or idk, text my girlfriend and try to look busy.
2023: Walk, walk, and walk fast until I see an indoor establishment, and enter that immediately.
What would you do if a cashier gave you too much change?
2017: Duh. Return it.
2023: I would still return it.
What would you do if everyone was looting stores during a blackout?
2017: That doesn’t happen here so I wouldn’t know how to react.
2023: Stay away from the chaos.
What would you do if your mp3/ipod broke and you couldn’t afford a new one?
2017: Those days are over my friend.
2023: Using my phone as an example, if it broke down I'd just temporarily use my laptop as a main channel of communication while I save up the money to have my phone fixed.
What would you do if you woke up in a stranger’s bed?
2017: I would be terrified and look for my phone immediately, so I can ask Gab for help.
2023: ^ Why were you so stupid? LOL. I'd get out of there as quietly as possible and run.
What would you do if your significant other was dying of cancer?
2017: I’d be a wreck, but I wouldn’t show it to her. I’ll be with her everyday, maybe before and after school. I’ll be with her family. I’d take her on dates in places we’ve never been to and if there are things on her bucket list that we can achieve together or that she can do on her own, we can do that as well. I’ll make her eat corn, mushroom, beans, and all the other food she hates because she would never be able to try them again. Basically accompany her as she lives her life to the fullest in that time span.
2023: ...Ok, Nicholas Sparks. But NGL all that crap sounded cute anyway so I'll keep that answer up .
What would you do if you saw a co-worker stealing from the boss?
2017: I guess if it were a first time thing I’d let it slide, especially admittedly if the coworker were a friend. Second time and beyond, I’d tell on them.
2023: Ugh, workspace drama. Honestly, I wouldn't do anything after the fact because no matter what I do someone is going to be pissed. I imagine the most I would do is to tell that co-worker to stop doing something so stupid even before they start doing the stealing deed, but if they still do otherwise then I'm noping out of that situation.
What would you do if I sang out of tune?
2017: Be glad you’re doing your best.
2023: Same! We can even sing out of tune together.
What would you do if your plane crashed in the jungle?
2017: Hope I didn’t make it?
2023: ^ I probably wouldn't, anyway. I just hope that if it had to end, it would end instantly and with little to no pain/discomfort.
What would you do if you got stuck in an elevator with your crush?
2017: Hold her hand and stand in silence since I’m already with my crush.
2023: If I was in an elevator with a celebrity crush I'd ignore them and hope they can get the fuck out of there as soon as possible cos I wouldn't be able to handle it LOL.

Here we go again!
1. What did you do in 2022 that you hadn’t done before?
Lived in a house that I owned, bought a car…I genuinely can’t think of anything else.
2. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not this year.
3. Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully, no.
4. Did you travel? Where did you go? Best holiday memory?
Hahahaha! Travel?! Holidays!? What are those? The only time I left Melbourne this year was to go to Mildura in March for my nephews’ birthdays. It was lovely but my god I’d kill a man for an actual holiday in the near future.
5. Best thing you bought?
A Ring doorbell. And our new couch.
6. Where did most of your money go?
To the bank to cover the neverending interest rate increases! Yay!!!!!!!
7. What do you wish you had done more of?
Reading books? I really gave up on reading in the second half of this year which makes me sad 😥
8. What do you wish you had done less of?
Thinking about money and worrying about the cost of living.
9. What kept you sane?
Probably listmaking, as in many previous years of my life hahahah.
10. What drove you mad?
The fucking awful weather. I feel like it rained for about 95% of the year and it really sucked my will to live.
11. What made you celebrate?
When Novak Djokovic got deported from Australia for being an anti-vaxxer/general dickhead, and then Rafa won the AO and it was the best tournament of all time. When the Queen died and we got an extra long weekend.
12. What made you sad?
When our house got broken into, and all our jewellery and our car got stolen in October. I don’t think I will ever really get over it 😔. Also when Shane Warne died, for reasons that I still can’t quite explain.
13. How was your birthday this year and how old did you turn?
I went into the office for the first time in months, but no one knew it was my birthday and I didn’t bother to tell anyone, so it was very lowkey! Went for lunch the weekend before and had a beautiful meal at Riso Diner (RIP!!!). I turned 38.
14. What political issue stirred you the most this year?
SAVE THE PRESTON MARKET. And when SloMo got the boot in May.
15. Were you in love in 2022?
Always!
16. What would you like to have in 2023 that you didn’t have this year?
A HOLIDAY PLEASE DEAR GOD LET ME HAVE A FEW DAYS OFF WORK TO GO ON A PLANE SOMEWHERE AND HAVE A NICE TIME.
17. What date(s) from 2022 will be etched in your memory and why?
18 October, when we got burgled 😭
18. What song will remind you of 2022?
Anything from the Lizzo album, which I listened to excessively. And Miles From Nowhere because #ofmd.
19. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I did!!!! FINALLY made a will after having it on my to do list for about 4 years!! Next year…I want to look after myself a bit more. Two years of lockdowns and overindulging because there was nothing else to do has left me with some bad habits.
20. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I was so stressed earlier in the year from moving house and changing jobs and a repeated water leak situation at home that a chunk of my hair fell out and I had a bald spot for several months hahaha!!!! Great times! Then I had COVID in July which FUCKED. ME. UP. I had surgery in September which also fucked me up, but it was elective, and has improved my quality of life considerably so I don’t know if that counts.
21. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? I wouldn’t say I’m sadder but my anxiety has definitely gotten worse this year so I want to work on that for next year!
ii. thinner or fatter? Fatter probably, given that I stopped exercising in July when I got COVID and then didn’t start again 🙈.
iii. richer or poorer? Ugh, richer on paper maybe, but I feel very poor every time I look at my mortgage account hahahah.
22. How will you be spending Christmas?
Christmas Day at my inlaws for lunch, which should be lovely. And then a few days off to chill out and try to relax after a fairly intense year.
24. What was your favourite TV program?
Our Flag Means Death, The Bear, the final season of Atlanta, What We Do in the Shadows, Reservation Dogs, the final season of Derry Girls…it was a very good year of TV.
25. What was the best book you read?
Devotion by Hannah Kent DESTROYED me. And against my better judgement I read and enjoyed Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney. I have also been attempting to read To Paradise but the fact that it’s taken me 6 months and I’m only halfway through says it all really.
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Orville Peck.
27. What did you want and get?
A new couch, some beautiful custom cabinets, a great new job for next year.
28. What did you want and not get?
Time off/away.
29. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2022?
It was a bit all over the shop this year, but the most important thing I learned is that any shoe can be a work shoe if you’re wearing it to work.
30. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Taika Waititi (sorry), Bad Bunny (again).
31. Biggest achievement this year?
I started out the year feeling sad about having to leave my last job but I ended up smashing it on the career front this year! Worked on an amazing project for most of the year and then was offered a role I’ve always wanted to do as soon as the project started wrapping up 💪🏼💪🏼
32. Biggest disappointment this year?
When some of the gardenias we planted in the front yard died. And when Chan vs Chan (the most amazing local restaurant) closed down.
33. What is the one thing that would have made you more satisfied?
If a pilates studio had opened within walking distance of my house.
34. Best new person you met this year?
Our lawn mowing man 😂
35. A valuable life lesson you learnt this year?
See question 29.

top 5 murdoch episodes, top 5 chocolatey desserts (i'm on my knees begging you to tell me you like chocolate), top 5 thrombeys (i'm so sorry), and top 5 things you wish people would ask you when you reblogged this game!
omg arwen hello you sent so many, thank you ily 💖💖💖 i will put it under the cut bc it will be long hahah
top 5 murdoch episodes
i apologise for how bad this list is going to be because it's been so long since i've seen an episode of murdoch and i have a bad memory 😅 i really need to figure out where i was up to and continue watching
s3e1 - the murdoch identity - LISTEN from my memory (which is bad lmao) this episode was so so good and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time
s5e13 - twentieth century murdoch - all my descriptions are just going to be me being like yes yes this episode was also good bc i genuinely love every episode of murdoch that i watch so it's hard to make a list hahaha
i am putting my number three and four together bc these episodes are after each other so the last two episodes of s6 - crime & punishment and the murdoch trap - i just really enjoyed the suspense of both of these episodes !
s6e1 - murdoch air - i remember finding this episode very funny if it is the one i am thinking of but i could also be thinking of a different episode (told you this list was going to be bad, i am so sorry lmao)
top 5 chocolatey desserts
first up we have BROWNIES, they are honestly so good and i love them so much. i warm them up a little and let the chocolate melt inside and OML it is so so good
very similar to brownies but next up is muffins! i love choc chip muffins but also the other day i had a triple choc muffin and it changed my life man, i forgot how much i loved muffins hahaha
this might be controversial but cookies and cream cheesecake ! i know cookies and cream flavour and also cheesecake isn't for everyone but my mum makes the most delicious cookies and cream cheesecake i have ever tasted and i think about it sometimes and just go okay maybe life is worth living hahahah
this is another one that my mum makes that i adore but chocolate truffle balls, she makes them with condensed milk and chocolate sprinkles on the outside and man oh man they make my stomach feels so bad but they are SO GOOD
last but not least we have the classic chocolate mud cake ! now here in australia it is called a woolies (or coles) mud cake because those are our supermarkets, it is australian culture to get a woolies mud cake when it's someone's birthday or just when the mud cakes are on special hahaha
top 5 thrombeys
i can't believe you are making me do this but here we go 😭✌️
linda - i don't know if this is just because i adore jamie lee curtis but LISTEN she is such a good character !! she is a strong female character and yes all the thrombeys have their issues but i genuinely loved her arc and seeing her take her power back and remembering that she is a thrombey and proud of it
harlan - am i allowed to say my beloved? hahahaha, i know we don't see him for very long but i love him so much. he cared deeply about his family despite their flaws and he always did what was best for them even if he knew they weren't going to like it (the will lmao) i also just loved seeing how much he cared about marta bc she was also family to him, seeing them joke around and have fun together was so so heart warming
meg - when i first watched knives out i didn't really like meg as a character but upon my second rewatch and just every time i rewatch the movie now i see how important she is as a character, she's the only person around the same age as marta and it's also very evident that marta and meg have a special friendship
joni - is this bc of my love for toni collette?? possibly hahah but ALSO joni is such a clever character too, she is introduced as this dumb blonde who everyone doesn't consider to be part of the family (an outsider if you will) but realistically she is super intelligent and has been watching and observing how the thrombeys behave for years, she is just as much a thrombey as any of them are and she knows how to play their game to get her way
walt - i think he is in my top 5 simply for the fact that i love how pathetic he is LMAOOO, he basically had his career handed to him and to see him chuck a tantrum when harlan told him how it was was super hilarious. even to the point of him trying to threaten marta as well like this man is so desperate and pathetic and i love it hahaha
top 5 things i wish people would ask
my top 5 characters who are definitely bisexual hahaha
my top 5 sitcom ships / shows
my top 5 video games
my top 5 lgbtq characters
my top 5 albums
#thank you so much for asking !!#i am sorry for how long this ended up being hahah#arwen tag#mutuals tag#answered#ask

2017 BJYX Timeline : At First Sight.
Everything starts with a blank canvass. Oh we painted each others lives inch by inch. from black, gray and blue to colors we never thought existed. Two photos from different places, longing to be one.
Let’s start from the beginning of this whirlwind timeline. There will be very minimal interaction between our boys, but this will also be a good time to see how they were before working together. I wanted to paint a picture of XNINE’s Xiao Zhan and Idol Wang Yibo. Before their names got tied to the Untamed and each other.
They were doing their own thing, working hard with their careers, no clue that one chance meeting will be so important. Warning, this post is video links, image and information heavy. I am missing some stuff because this hell site refuses to save things and continues to glitch.
🡆 MARCH 2017
03242017 : The story starts when XNINE was a guest in Day Day Up. When asked, they always say that this is the first time they met. However, they did not interact at all.
youtube
But there are definitely times on this episode where they pay attention to each other and it’s so cute. You can find different videos that will highlight these moments better than any screencaps can.
1. Web Stealing a glance at GG
2. First meeting
3. Gun heart - This is the gesture GG used when he introduced himself. The hosts all imitated him and teased, that included Web who smiled too. The same love gesture will be seen in the following years as “their thing”.
4. Doing the same steps for the dance.
5. Web allowing GG to pass and did not lift up the bamboo to trap him when it’s his turn.
6. Red string of Fate
7. Love at first sight-ology
When asked about this shooting, especially the segment when they were in the fields— GG said it was too cold. There is also CPN that the bag Web was using was GG’s.
03252017: Yin Yue V-Chart Interview with XNINE. GG talking about being scolded for not updating his video diaries and updating his fans. 😂 On the same day that this interview came out, he posted a selfie.

12312017 : Web Participates in Hunan TV’s new year countdown as a Host.
*** Note 01 : In 2017, XNINE was transferred from EE media to Long Danni’s Wajijiwa Ent. Company. Some initial problems that they had was that their company was more interested in promoting them as actors and not as an idol group. They were also not kept safe in public venues which will be a recurring issue to GG as we go along other timelines.
*** Note 02 : I wanted to add Web’s Rossi posts and more pictures but it won’t save (will try again at a later date, but I think Web’s awards and projects are more important to highlight here). LOL. Thankfully, GG’s selfies worked. I mainly added stuff that they did in 2017 to give a sense of where they were career-wise.
*** Note 03 : Looking at how this timeline turned into a monster, I will probably split the 2018 timeline into two parts. Forever Summer Part I & Forever Summer Part 2. Seeing the amount of Activity these two did in 2018 alone is STAGGERING. Plus, this site is glitching with all the content when I save it so splitting it might be better. if you have suggestions, let me know.

survey results are in!
sorry, this is gonna be a long post. yesterday i posted a survey with a list of polls regarding Supernatural, and it was SO much fun. I got over 300 responses, which was A LOT to sort through for the short responses, but I’ve gathered all the “data” and here it is! My responses to each poll will be under the screenshots (they are in groups of 2). I’m going to include the short answer responses in another post. ENJOY!
1. Starting off strong.
2. Pleased with this one as well.
3. Yep, I expected this response from most of us.
4. Sami, I made the wincest and destiel response just for you. YW.
5. CMON YOU GUYS......live a little!!! samjack sexy
6. I’m not really surprised that Playthings got the bulk of votes here, but I think my vote would have been 8x23.
7. :)

60. HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHO ANDY IS. i wish he would have been in the show longer........
61. uh....yeah.
62. Yeah c’mon. Dean would and you know it.
63. Thank god you guys didn’t fuck this up. I would agree, but Corbett is a close second for me.
64. IN THE RED BABY!!!!
65. we love a man bleeding out. we do.
66. i actually think misha is chill with J2 but.....you can’t deny J3 have more chemistry.
67. I uh......don’t think Dean would be a great father. is this me projecting my own issues with my father onto Dean? maybe,,,,

DMBJ 2010 Nangongling Interview Translated
I’ve finally (poorly) translated the infamous Nangongling interview with Nanpai Sanshu (aka Xu Lei, author of DMBJ)!
This is where that famous quote, ‘My lifetime, in exchange for you a decade of innocence and purity’ comes from. More on that here.
Interview Context: First off, in case you don’t already know, NPSS started DMBJ off as a fanfiction. And more on that here. Hence, his style of engagement with fans will be much more direct and why he’s very... knowing of the fandom world. And why the interview does not hesitate to ask about pingxie.
This interview seems to have been conducted somewhere on the internet in 2010 or nearing it. Although I couldn’t find more confirmation on its ‘authenticity’ so to speak, I also haven’t seen anything to the contrary that this might be made up. (Chinese internet is a strange, strange place...)
Here’s the version I’m basing this off of.
Translation Context:
Ok first, I’m a native Chinese speaker, but grew up in the US and not fluent in reading / writing. I am not at all familiar with a lot of idioms, let alone internet slang and pop culture references (of which there are a lot in this interiew), so there will be a lot of guessing. Anyone who knows better, free free to point it out.
Text Legend:
Parenthesis indicate actions / reactions. E.g. (smiles awkwardly)
[TN: ...] are my notes
[??? some words ???] indicate major uncertainty in translations
== or =w= and such symbols are emojis from the interviewer
Original text sometimes had random forward slashes in between what seems should be one word / term. My guess is it might be to skirt censorship?
Names Context:
They use a lot of different ways to refer to the various characters and NPSS
The interviewer calls NPSS ‘Your Majesty’ or ‘Sanshu’ a lot. But Sanshu can also refer to Wu Sanxing... so it gets confusing a bit.
Zhang Qiling can be anything from Menyouping to Pingzi to Lao Meng to Meng... just... anytime there’s ‘Meng’ or ‘Ping’ or ‘Zhang’ it’s safe to assume they’re referring to ZQL.
Wu Xie is often just Wu Xie or Tianzhen
Nangongling is the name of the interviewer
Interviewer:
Interviewer: Your Majesty, come interview. After this, we’ve got to sleep.
NPSS: OK. Let’s go. Be gentle.
Interviewer: Oh Your Majesty, you’re so shy.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: If we may ask Sanshu, is DMBJ ultimately a tragic or happy ending?
NPSS: For some, a tragedy. For some, a regular drama. For some, a comedy. For some, an absurdity.
Interviewer: That’s no different from not answering! ==
NPSS: But that’s the correct answer.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: What’s the relationship between Tianzhen and ‘It’? Your Majesty, care to give a spoiler? ==
NPSS: No relationship. [TN: ‘No relationship’ and ‘No problem’ are the same phrase, hence the subsequent answer.]
Interviewer: Then go ahead and tell us. =w=
NPSS: No relationship.
Interviewer: … No relationship?
NPSS: Yup. No relationship.
Interviewer: … ==
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: If we may ask Sanshu about the plan for DMBJ, when might you finish it?
NPSS: 2010.
NPSS: The problem is…
Interviewer: What?
NPSS: There is an unexpected situation.
Interviewer: Don’t give us cliffhanger sentences. Just tell us. ==
NPSS: Maybe [??? Something about being possessed ???]. I might work on it till 2050.
Interviewer: Hey!
NPSS: It’s great.
Interviewer: Might as well make it a Gundam series. [TN: Gundam is referring to the Japanese anime series. I guess they’re making a joke about how he should turn it into a never ending universe / entire franchise.]
NPSS: Conan never grows up. Wu Xie will never get old either. [TN: Conan is referring to Detective Conan, another Japanese anime series.]
NPSS: Even when you all become old, Wu Xie in the book will still be pursuing the answer to all the mysteries.
Interviewer: And if it’s with Lao Meng forever mutually loving and caring, then we have no objections.
NPSS: Fifty years, Golden Wedding [TN: Think he’s referring to Golden Wedding as the 50th anniversary].
Interviewer: Yes, yes. Don’t know if there will be a son. (Tea) (Silence) [TN: I guess the actions indicate ‘sipping tea awkwardly in silence’]
Interviewer: Alright, His Majesty has become shy. Let’s continue onto the next question.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: If we may ask what the Menyouping’s ending will be? Will he find his memories? Continue to live on? Your Majesty can’t because of Classmate 370 [TN: Rumors are this is NPSS’s classmate? Potential prototype for ZQL? See ref.] once scorned your [??? finger ???], you end up holding a grudge?
NPSS: Whether or not you can ‘fujoshi’ for 50 years is uncertain. [TN: Word is ‘fu’, which literal = ‘rotten’; but refers to fujoshi. AKA he’s questioning how long they’ll ship pingxie for.]
Interviewer: No worries. In the future, there will appear a lot of Li Yinhe grannies. [TN: Seems to refer to this LGBTQ activist.]
NPSS: Hands / feet have not fallen off, OK? [TN: I’m not sure what this is referring to lol. Maybe some play on the rotten nature of fujoshi.]
Interviewer: Hands / feet… the whole body?
NPSS: The meaning of ‘entirely not fallen off’ is ‘entirely not fallen off’. [TN: Idk I’m lost...]
Interviewer: … ==
Interviewer: Your Majesty, your resentment for 370 is too deep…
NPSS: Menyouping’s ending will definitely surprise you all. It’s definitely not something that can be conceptually considered at all.
Interviewer: Could it be that he really will be mutually loving and caring with Tianzhen? == It’s not in concept…
NPSS: Hn. That’s a nice thought. [TN: Tone reads a little like ‘ha, as if’.]
NPSS: Like, turn him into a woman or something. Or is it Wu Xie who turns into a woman?
NPSS: “Actually, I’m a flat-chested Mary Sue.” [TN: Lol, yes. They refer to Mary Sue omg.]
Interviewer: … hey now… == Speaking of Mary Sues, after Yun Cai is it Xiu Xiu? Your Majesty, you wouldn’t gift Yun Cai to Lao Meng, and Xiu Xiu to Wu Xie, right? ==
NPSS: Maybe I’ll write Lily stories. [TN: I think Lily stories refers to femslash / stories between two females.]
NPSS: Don’t underestimate my pervertedness.
Interviewer: I’ve never underestimated it… (serious)
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: If we may ask what Sanshu’s current weight is? Are you losing weight? Hahahah (Hands akimbo)
NPSS: Now it’s probably a little less than 200 jin. [TN: ~220 pounds.] I’m always in the middle of losing weight, but fat really likes me.
Interviewer: Your Majesty, you should continue to make effort to cosplay Pangzi.
NPSS: I think I will exceed Pangzi’s category soon, cosplay a huge monster instead.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: When will the DMBJ movie be released? Who will play Pingzi? To be honest, I don't want to watch. ==
NPSS: Probably around 2015. I don’t know. Hope it’s not [??? black people ???]. [TN: Yeah that’s what it says, but idk if it’s a reference to type of personalities or it actually is referring to skin color. Wouldn’t surprise me if it were a racist remark. China, sigh.]
Interviewer: Could it be there really will be a movie?
NPSS: Probably.
Interviewer: In America?
NPSS: I can’t say I understand / know Hollywood’s situation.
Interviewer: So it’s America… (Tears running) Too tragic!
NPSS: Hei Xiaoge [TN: Lol I think he’s saying a black young lad] is also not bad.
Interviewer: No! No! No!
NPSS: A-ning has already been designated the female lead by a foreign scriptwriter.
Interviewer: Oooh ~~~ We don’t want to see ghosts ~~~ [TN: Idk what this expression is…]
NPSS: Little D might be able to accept. [TN: Idk who Little D is… might just be a slang way of writing ‘little brother’, in which case, I still don’t know if that’s referring to himself or someone else.]
Interviewer: I guess he will squeak along with me. [TN: Again… I’m lost.] Nope cannot anymore. Next question.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Will there be romance?
NPSS: [??? Eloquent love ???] will have porn scenes.
Interviewer: … who and who?
NPSS: Not sure yet. One party should not be human.
Interviewer: Heavy tastes, Your Majesty.
NPSS: Tentacles.
Interviewer: …… Your Majesty, are you playing some XXOO games recently? [TN: I’m just gonna assume some hentai shit here.]
NPSS: Nope. Haven’t played in a long time. Got any good suggestions?
Interviewer: [??? The imperial doctor has ghost glasses ???] [TN: Guess it’s the title?] Try it (rubs hands).
NPSS: I’m currently still holding out strong.
Interviewer: Gee… what a pity.
NPSS: You can train your boyfriend.
Interviewer: He’s already very calm.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Pingzi is so good to Wu Xie, any particular reason? I mean deep underlying reason? For example, knowing the truth about Wu Xie’s life / existence or something. Or being entrusted by Wu Xie’s family or something. Or he thinks he’s brought Wu Xie harm and wants to redeem himself or something.
NPSS: Just doesn’t want to disturb.
Interviewer: Huh? What?
NPSS: Don’t want to disturb.
Interviewer: Disturb what?
NPSS: Tianzhen Wu Xie [TN: Remember, this means ‘innocent, naive, and pure’]. The prompt is very deep now. [TN: Sounds like he’s saying he’s given a deep hint now.]
Interviewer: Oh (Actually someone who doesn’t really understand). [TN: GLAD I’M NOT ALONE! IT’S NOT A TRANSLATION ISSUE!]
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Are there new Lunar New Year Celebratory Extras this year? [TN: NPSS writes occasional extras, and often will publish on special occasions like Lunar New Year.]
NPSS: 2010’s publishing work was too heavy. Can’t celebrate. I even wrote the outline already.
Interviewer: That’s such a pity. What about Tibetan Sea Flower. I’m still waiting for the lama that has JQ with Lao Meng. [TN: They use the term JQ here… seems like slang for something like bromance.]
NPSS: Ah little living Buddha… probably can’t write. [TN: Yeah idk what that really means…] Due to religious issues, living Buddha’s chrysanthemum is very sensitive. Huge crawling creatures will come and bombard. [TN: IDK BUT CHRYSANTHEMUMS ARE OFTEN EUPHEMISMS FOR THE ANUS AND GAY BUTT SEX SO IDK.]
Interviewer: Hey… ==
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Qinling Sacred Tree arc was too mysterious. Will Sanshu later be connected to the Sacred Tree? If so, how will you do it? I think DMBJ is not as thrilling / exciting as before. Can you still return to that previous style?
NPSS: There are no plans at present to connect Qinling. I need to settle Meng first. The core of what’s being written is his business. The excitement of DMBJ is not found in the novel but in the heart of the reader. The reader will upgrade / improve while reading.
Interviewer: Is that so… (Eats late night food) [TN: Idk what this expression means.]
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Will you still publish new books and dig new plot holes? == Besides this official vest of Nanpai Sanshu, do you have anything else? Like diving party? == [TN: Yeah idk what that means…]
NPSS: Doesn’t returning to the original style of writing offer you some thrilling / excitement? Your heart has already upgraded, it’s just that the novel is still like that.
Interviewer: Heart! ==||| [TN: Yes, this is another face lol]
NPSS: There’s still some more. Like Nangongling. [TN: Name of the interviewer, but I have no idea what this means.]
Interviewer: The watch drags me underwater. [TN: I got nothing *shrugs*.]
NPSS: Actually are we answering our own questions?
Interviewer: Haha, fun right?
NPSS: Indeed. Could it be a split personality? Never thought my hidden personality is a Fujoshi. Tragedy.
Interviewer: Hey I didn’t say my hidden personality was a perverted uncle yet. (Two bored idiots stare in silence for a few seconds)
Interviewer: Enough. Next.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Pingzi’s age… is it ‘uncle’ or ‘grandpa’? Anyway, I know it’s not ‘brother’. [TN: They’re referring to which generation basically.]
NPSS: Taizu Grandfather [TN: Basically hella old… great-great-great-great-great-grandfather?]
Interviewer: Wow… paleontology relic?
NPSS: Age must be in the triple digits.
Interviewer: Old monster! I like it! Just afraid that next to Tianzhen, he seems younger (talking to self)
NPSS: Tianzhen is even older. Quadruple digits.
Interviewer: Really is younger? ==
NPSS: They all end up in the museum display.
Interviewer: Does it cost anything to visit? Museums are now free / open to visit.
NPSS: After hour events charge fees. There are special programs, but the TV station will not allow them to be broadcasted.
Interviewer: Strip tease / dancing?
NPSS: No. It’s the old monster [TN: Probably referring to ZQL] performing Xiangsheng [TN: Some Chinese duo comedy schtick]. Xie Ling [TN: I think this is Wu Xie + Zhang Qiling?] social / not-famous Xiangsheng actors.
Interviewer: Looks like it will be Two-Person Turn Opera [TN: Idk if there is an English term for this… but another type of skit it seems.]
NPSS: Wear the dancing shoes. [TN: I think it’s just this?]
Interviewer: … It’s so cold… Your Majesty…
NPSS: Zhang Wenling, Wu Wenxie [TN: Lol I guess this would be their comedy stage names. It’s extra / intentionally stupid because all he did was insert ‘wen’ which means ‘literature’.]
Interviewer: Enough… Don’t worry about this anymore. I’m gonna move onto the next question.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Is Wu Xie the most tragic character in the entire novel? Is it inevitable that, between him and Pingzi, one of them will have to die in the end?
NPSS: Wu Xie’s fate as the most tragic is a set tragedy, but Lao Zhang doesn’t have it easy either.
Interviewer: And then?
NPSS: Delayed the inevitable tragedy.
Interviewer: And then they encountered tragedy together?
NPSS: Using [his] own lifetime to exchange you another decade of innocence and purity.
Interviewer: … (wailing) (too stunned) Lao Meng [??? became the Virgin Mary???] (smashes wall)
NPSS: I also want to get a cult.
Interviewer: Does Lao Meng really not have a crush on Tianzhen? It can’t continue like this. DMBJ is still a serious / proper drama after all.
NPSS: Nah. It’s serious / proper.
Interviewer: But what you said is crooked.
NPSS: Alright. Then let’s put it this way.
Interviewer: How?
NPSS: Comrade Zhang Qiling sacrificed his own time to save and prevent the disillusionment of a youth who was about to go astray. [TN: Yeah… not too sure about the implications of this.]
Interviewer: …. Your Majesty, you [??? use soulmates ???] [TN: I’m really not sure about this… context and definitions I found seems to indicate it’s a soulmate like thing, but also used kind of queerbaity?]
NPSS: I’ve been working real closely with soulmate recently.
Interviewer: We can tell. Next question. Best leave some room for free thought.
NPSS: It’d be fine if you just don’t post it.
Interviewer: This is iron proof of JQ! [TN: Again, some internet slang for bromance / malexmale CPs or something.]
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Are all the incomprehensible things that happened so far man-made? Or will it be explained by the supernatural?
NPSS: There’s nothing incomprehensible.
Interviewer: Probably in reference to Qinling.
NPSS: Oh. Doesn’t that count as a spoiler?
Interviewer: … then let’s skip again. Actually, I thought you already forgot about Qinling.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: What is Pangzi’s little secret?
NPSS: Xiao Pang’s [TN: Little Fat’s] tragic past.
Interviewer: What… Pangzi is also quite tragic.
NPSS: Probably a ‘fought with his best friend over a woman and was hurt very badly’ kind of relationship. Pangzi had a very simple but tragic love.
Interviewer: Sad…. == You really can’t tell…
NPSS: A woman he promised to take care of for a lifetime and a brother he can’t help but save.
Interviewer: Pangzi has sublimed (victory fist] [TN: I assume ‘sublime’, which literally means converting from solid directly to gas, is just representative of a massive promotion or rise into awesomeness.]
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: I’m always thinking of Ershu’s mysterious air. Does he know a lot of things that others don’t? I also want to know what Wu Xie’s dad does.
NPSS: [??? Location scouting ???]
Interviewer: Ershu?
NPSS: He knows some.
Interviewer: Then what about his dad.
NPSS: Location scouting. Totally innocent. Just like Jesus’s old man.
Interviewer: What kind analogy is that… == Next.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Hey Sanshu, on Dec 9, 2009 at 02:58 in the morning I dreamt of you. Did you dream of me? …. == Your Majesty, your fans [TN: Yeah idk.]
NPSS: That night I seem to have pulled an all-nighter. I wouldn’t mind dreaming again tonight.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Will Pingzi eventually return to being a normal human? Live on from the age of 18? Has he had a lover / children before? Yun Cai? Is Pangzi the boss or the person coming to supervise the boss (Tianzhen)?
Interviewer: Lao Meng… I’ve long since been speechless towards him. By the way, was he always this kind of stone in the latrine? [TN: I guess a saying about how he’s stuffy and expressionless per usual.]
NPSS: No. It used to be really bad.
Interviewer: …How bad…
NPSS: Like a Tibetan horse. [TN: Lol this is the literal translation but when I Googled it, Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho came up and hahaha I guess it kind of makes sense as an analogy?]
Interviewer: Your Majesty, your definition of really bad is Kurama’s level huh…= =|| So he wasn’t born latrine stone… [TN: Ok, so background on Kurama - an infamous fox demon thief escaped into the body of a newborn child because his spirit was weakened after being hunted, and so he cohabits the body with this boy… I’m not entirely sure of the reference jousting here.]
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: What happens to Pangzi in the end?
NPSS: Dies of old age.
Interviewer: How mundane!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: We want to know when DMBJ 7 will be finished?
NPSS: 3/15-20 complete.
Interviewer: (Recommends to everyone not to believe… ==)
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Sanshu, will someone die at the end of DMBJ? (Alright I only care about MengMeng and Tianzhen and believe Pangzi will definitely not be killed off). Also, just how many volumes will there be?
Interviewer: How many die, I also want to know. [TN: Lol they also use the counter word not for humans, but… something else?].
NPSS: There will be someone half-dead. Because it’s a grave-robbing novel, dying completely will never happen. A-ning died and still comes around often, right? [TN: Lol I’m not entirely sure what this is in reference to… first part he’s making a joke that people can become zombies, but second part… I don’t really recall A-ning coming back? Unless he means in mentions? Then again I’m still making my way through the novels.] Just that you go from hero to villain. I still haven’t decided how many to kill off. Anyways for the last volume, with the exception of Wu Xie, [??? anyone can be killed ???].
Interviewer: …Just kill everyone why don’t you; it’s easier. (self-destruct) ==
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: May we ask Sanshu, will Pingzi have emotional drama in the future?
NPSS: No. No time / effort for that, and communication skills are limited.
Interviewer: Ahaha….
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Normally, will Sanshu come check out our Tieba? [TN: Kind of like Chinese reddit I believe?] Do you know the Warm Fox? [TN: I did a quick search, seems like a big fandom name that interprets a lot of the DMBJ stuff.]
NPSS: Don’t know.
Interviewer: As expected…
NPSS: It’s your husband?
Interviewer: Hey don’t involve me in everything. (Flips table)
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Just out of personal interest… I really want to know if Xie Lianhuan likes Wenjin?
NPSS: Uh, yes. Very much so.
Interviewer: Then what about Wu Sanxing?
NPSS: Also likes her.
Interviewer: So it turns out to be a crime of passion… (awakened)
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Is Yun Cai just an inconsequential character? Those Huo family Forbidden Ladies won’t have some sort of emotional development with Pingxie, right? [TN: It does say Huo family Forbidden Ladies… I guess they might be referring to Huo Xiu Xiu, but not sure why there’s multiple. Also, recall that the Forbidden Lady is that tomb creature.]
NPSS: Huo family really did become Forbidden Lady professional household [TN: Maybe like a ‘firm’?]. Yun Cai’s ending is also quite tragic.
Interviewer: Indeed. If transmigrating, don’t transmigrate into DMBJ. [TN: Transmigrate is the common c-drama trope where someone in modern times / average suddenly wakes up in the body of some one in the past or something.] Female beings all have no good outcome.
NPSS: If you’ve already died once, then there’s no need to be afraid.
Interviewer: Oh yeah, will that pink-shirt show face again? (Xlaugh) [TN: Idk this expression, but I think pink-shirt is referring to Xiaohua.]
NPSS: Yes. [??? Young Lord of Solutions ???] Grave-Robbing Prince.
Interviewer: Ahhhhh~~great~~~ >///<~~ The Old Nine Gates [??? Admirals ???], right? … Then Xiao Hei [TN: Hei Xiazi / Hei Yanjing] also has a role?
NPSS: Yup.
Interviewer: The descendants of the Old Nine Gates [??? Admirals ???] are nine golden men? =w=
NPSS: One isn’t. 8 men. 1 woman.
Interviewer: The female is Huo family Forbidden Lady, right?
NPSS: Yup. Counting her.
Interviewer: So that means Tianzhen still has 7 in his harem… Damn, catching up to Cracked Pot’s bunch of shiny guardians. [TN: Idk what that is in reference to.]
NPSS: Cracked Pot? What’s that? [TN: Yay I’m not the only one!]
Interviewer: Cough Cough. Your Majesty, you don’t need to know.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Will Sanshu come to Nanning for an autograph session?
NPSS: Nanning? Need a Nanning bookstore to invite me.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: If we may ask Lao San [TN: Still referring to NPSS], from Wu Xie’s (or Pangzi’s) perspective, where does Menyouping stand? Just a ‘person who stands on our side’? [TN: Refers to when ZQL told them he was a person on their side.]
NPSS: Now it should be like a son’s role / part.
Interviewer: What? Son? ==
NPSS: A very promising son.
Interviewer: Is Wu Xie having the ‘My son has grown up’ old mother mentality?
NPSS: Not really. More like, my son has bad memory or something.
Interviewer: Wu Xie he is indeed [??? person wife ???] [TN: Uh... term used was 人\妻 which when Googled had the first link to pornhub lol. But I think the slang used is actually this.]
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: In Sanshu’s day to day, how often does you use code words? Or is it scrunching your feet and thinking on it for a month or two before coming up with something? [TN: I think they’re referring to Sanshu as in NPSS and not Wu Sanxing Sanshu?]
NPSS: It’s usually simultaneously [??? buckling ???] and eating and typing.
Interviewer: Does it taste good?
NPSS: Often get stomachaches.
Interviewer: …Very toxic huh…
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: Can you fill the bit plothole of Sanshu’s storytelling? Your Majesty, do you have any filled pits? == (Hides face)
NPSS: I promised my father I would fill them before he turns 70.
NPSS: [??? New Year’s Eve pieces ???]
Interviewer: How old is his esteemed Majesty’s father?
NPSS: 60.
Interviewer: …. (speechless)
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: What kind of person is Wu Xie’s mother?
NPSS: Wu Xie’s mother is probably a strong / great woman.
Interviewer: I think so too.
NPSS: Beautiful but strict and fierce, which is why Dad is rather pathetic / a good-for-nothing.
Interviewer: Queens are great. Queens usually marry good-for-nothings. [TN: The ‘queen’ here is literally ‘female king’, so more implies a female ruler.] ==
Interviewer: In the end, did Wu Xie inherit his dad’s genes?
NPSS: Wu Xie also has a very dark personality.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
NPSS: I’m nearly at my limit…
Interviewer: Same here… (sleepy)
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Interviewer: If we may ask Sanshu, if excluding psychological factors, in terms of human nature, do you think Pingxie is suitable?
NPSS: I think, the two of them together. Neither can earn money. Parents on both side would not agree.
Interviewer: Can it not be one steals and the other sells stolen goods?
NPSS: At the very least, Wu Xie needs to get admitted to a civil service position. [TN: These are stable job positions lol]
Interviewer: Looks like Lao Meng eats soft rice! [TN: A saying that refers to men who lives off of women lol. Basically that the woman supports the man instead of the expected vice versa.]
NPSS: And also will need to buy a house in Hangzhou.
Interviewer: … Too realistic… == [TN: Lol no joke this is exactly how couples get ‘permission’ to marry each other by the families… Hangzhou housing prices are not cheap either. I was born there and visit often… those prices have gone uuuuuuup.]
(And the two are dozing off)
NPSS: Let’s end it. I can’t hold on anymore.
Interviewer: Ok…
(The physically / mentally exhausted two rolled off to sleep, interview unfinished… ==)
~ End Interview
Whew that was a long ride. NPSS is such a troll lol... 😅I don’t know nearly enough Chinese slang / internet speak to parse this properly, but the general gist is there.

Moritaka’s secret
[????}
Moritaka: When i was a young pup back in my homeworld in the Land of Wa, i always seem to be looked at very stranglely,
Moritaka: I don’t know why, but, sometimes my Mother would sometimes clothe me in dresses,and most of all, my mother sees that im feminine, Though it didn’t bother me in the slightest, however, as time goes by. i started to wonder if, my mother would have wished to bore a daughter, i wanted to ask her why, and i did, and she said:
“My Moritaka, im sorry that it has bothered you so much,you see that truth is, when i see you in a dress, i would always see my precious baby in you,, because”..
You were my second child.
Moritaka: I was shocked beyond belief, to know that my older sister died when she was just born, i didn’t even realized that i have an older sister, but there was another issue that i want answers to, and that is if
You only see your daughter in me, rather than seeing me.
I asked her, and my mother said.
I’ve always seen you and her in you, and you are my only child, so that means, i get to love you two at the same time,
Moritaka: I was happy and relieve with her answer,that i broke down crying in her arms, knowing the reason why she always clothed me and treats me as a feminine., I was Happy with it. .
However, i doubt the rest of my townspeople will agree.
{Shinjuku Dormitory}
The halls of that you waiked in, are silent, nothing but the sound of your loafers and the winds brustling the leaves of the tree in the center of the dormitory that is being shined by the afternoon Sun, You were on your way to your dorm room after a long day of Guild Battles, and being the guildmaster of a well known guild is taxing and tiring, anyone would be exhausted after that, you are no exception to that rule,
Harumo: What a day...
You slowly climed the concrete stairs, and waiking towards your dorm room.
{Lil Salomon appears}
Lil Salomon: Ta-dah !, Hello Master! and my! you look exhausted,!...
Harumo: Im hungry go get me some food.
Lil Salomon: Alright Master!, I’ll just order online and have it delivered,..and .....there,. wait,,, It says that you will get it tomorrow!, What are we gonna do.
Harumo: *Sigh*
Lil Salomon: Anyhow, It seems being a guildmaster is very tiring for you i must say, But you’re doing a great job at it;
Harumo: Really?!... Thanks.... Wait, who’s that guy over there?
You point to where the a guy is standing infront of someone’s dorm room,
Harumo: Let’s go check it out !
You made your way to the guy standing infront of the said dorm room.
Harumo: Hello, can i help you with something?
Mailman: I have a package here for Moritaka Shino Inusuka,
Harumo: Oh! you’re the mailman, I think Moritaka is out today with something, But i can recieve it for him is that okay.?
Mailman: Yeah, sure, just sign here please. .....Thank you, have a nice day,.
Harumo: I wonder what Moritaka had just recieved ?
Lil Salomon: Do want me find out? Master, Oooohhh, im curios.
Harumo: I think we shouldn’t ,its Moritaka”s privacy,
Lil Salomon: HMMMMM,,,NOPE.
Harumo: Tha-, Lil Salomon get out of there, its really rude. to be doing that.
Lil Salomon: Now what do we have here...oh..oh my.... Uhm , Master?,, I think you should take a look of this,
Harumo: Im not going to violate his privacy.
Lil Salomon: But Master, Its full of..
Moritaka: HARUMO!, good to see you
Harumo: Oh heyyyy Moritaka, I was about to go to my room when you recieved a package.
Moritaka: I see,... and....{Gasp}
As soon as the Grey faired therian notices he’s package have arrived.
Moritaka: DID YOU LOOK INSIDE?!
Harumo: Whoah?!, Moritaka i didn’t
Moritaka: Are you absolutely sure?!
Harumo: I swear i didn’t look inside.
Moritaka: Phew, Thank you Harumo for respecting my privacy.
Harumo: Why were you nervous about me looking inside?
Moritaka: Oh that... uhm
Lil Salomon: Master, The contents of the package is nothing but a pink and blue dress.
Harumo: What?!
Moritaka: What is it Harumo?
Harumo: Moritaka, do you wear dresses.
Moritaka: A....Ahhhh.......ah....
Harumo: Uhm, Moritaka?!
Moritaka: ....HOW DID YOU KNOW?!

Harumo: Im not going to blackmail you.
Moritaka: You see the thing i-
Kengo: Hey partner, whats up
Moritaka: THANKYOUVERYMUCHHARUMOBYE!
Harumo: Moritaka...
Kengo: Yeeesshhh, Whats up with him,
Harumo: { I wonder about the dress ?}
{END SCENE}
{Moritaka’s dorm room}
Alone in the bed of his dorm room sits a young gray fured therian with his ears down, as if like a dog had done something wrong, is now in his thoughts about the issue that happened just now..
Moritaka: i should be ashamed of myself, i can’t believe i acted like that, infront of my friends.
While shaming himself, a memory of his mother flashes in his mind.
Moritaka: I don’t know why, i still wear dresses, Even though im far away from the Land of Wa, why, ...Am i ill? or is something wrong with me?
Thinking about his own well being a knock on his door startled him,
Moritaka: Uhhhm,,, Who is it?
The therian composes himself and opened the door only to find you, the one who knows his secret.
Moritaka: Harumo?!,,,What are you doing here,,,,Is there something a matter?
Harumo: Uhm, i wanted to check how you were doing, ever since that.
Moritaka: Please don’t mention it to anyone!
Ryota: Don’t mention what Moritaka?
Moritaka: ........Ryota?!, what are you doing here?!
Ryota: Our dorms are next to each other.
Moritaka: ...Oh.. i ...see... Make your way then.
Ryota: Hi Harumo, whats going on?
Harumo: { Maybe i should not mention it now}, Uhm, i was asking Moritaka, some,,, uhm,,,,,,uhmmm,,,,,,, some fencing lessons!, yeah i was asking Moritaka some fencing lessons.
Moritaka: A.. AH yes! Fencing lessons, correct! hahahah!
Ryota: O-okay....
He then makes his way to his dorm room,
Moritaka: I thought i told you to not mention that im wearing attire for females!
Ryota: ....WHAT?!
Moritaka: Eeepp!, Ryota?!, i thought you were in your dorm room,
Ryota: I heard you when i was about to close my door, ,,,
Moritaka: You two!, Come in now!
Harumo and Ryota:: O-okay...
As soon as you close the door behind you, The secret exposed Therian,
Moritaka: IM TRULY SORRY MY FRIEND! PLEASE FORGIVE ME !
There you have it, the blue clothed therian prostrate himself infront of you two, in a form of plea not a prayer.
Harumo: Moritaka.....
Ryota: Moritaka... Is something wrong?
Moritaka: I apologize for my immature behavior before, you see....... the thing is....
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT THATS IT FOR PART 1, AND IM SEMI BACK, AFTER HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN, THINKING ABOUT LIFE AND STUFF, HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THANK YOU ALL FOR READING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR DISAPPEARING, BECAUSE STUFF AND THAT.. IF YOU LIKE IT THEN LIKE AND SEE YOU LATER.
Harumo: THANK YOU ALL FOR READING!

That last reblog is very informative and useful in figuring out where to find certain storylines. Purely on a personal recommendation note, for anyone looking for good reads and who tends to like my take on things, my recs from that list (and not saying that others I don’t rec aren’t good, just what immediately popped into my head) would be:
Batman: The Long Halloween (yes. its a good)
Batman: Birth of the Demon (if you want to set canon on fire, as many people are wont to do, a good place to start is aggressively ignoring Morrison’s take on Damian’s birth and origin and instead treating this story as his origin and just building off the idea that Talia lied at the end which is waaaaaaaaay better and just like...go from there)
Batman: The Killing Joke (kill it with the fire. we’ve had enough of the killing joke. it can die. even alan moore hates it and he wrote it and alan moore usually loves everything he writes and hates everyone ELSE for like, liking it the wrong way, so I mean, that should tell you a lot)
Batman: The Cult (holy shit I totally forgot about this story and now am off to go reread it again myself)
I have Issues with how ADITF AND A Lonely Place of Dying play out and most popular takes on them, so like, I’m not like, recommending RECOMMENDING them, but I mean like, they are pivotal.
Batman: Knightfall, Legacy, Cataclysm and all things No Man’s Land related have some good stuff throughout all of them. Like, things I don’t like, sure, but overall, there’s a lot of good material in them. Also, a good way to get a strong sense of actual canon Tim, who is not fanon Tim, and who would probably take one look at fanon Tim and go LOL nerd, and kickflip away on his skateboard to go tell Nightwing about this AU version of himself he just met, as like, he actually likes and respects Nightwing, among other differences.
JLA Tower of Babel (its a yawn from me, lads. the source of pretty much all “Batman can beat all of the JLA because he has the greatest superpower of all: PREP TIME!!!” hot takes and I mean, yeah that’s pretty core to Batman and who he is at this point, but the story itself its just like. Eh. Could you not. Idk. Basically I just mean this is all part of an era of JLA that for the most part I actually tend to LIKE Bruce’s interactions with the rest of the team, but then there was this and it was just like. Eh. Could you not).
Bruce Wayne: Murderer? and Bruce Wayne: Fugitive (Quality reads IMO that emphasize the Detective part of the Batfranchise and contain good moments for the whole currently present Batfam, lots of great Cass and Dick stuff in particular. Idk. I havent read them in awhile but I have fond memories)
Batman: Hush (this gets a bad rep and not entirely deserved IMO. Like, its not the greatest story in the world but I like how it portrays Bruce as having flawed dynamics with a lot of his loved ones but not shying away from his role in that but also without overly vilifying him....he’s an appropriately complex character in this, is what I mean, and I also like that this is another story that emphasizes the often lost-and-forgotten Detective part of his core concept. Also, it utilizes some of my fave villains in ways that bring home how much potential certain combinations/team-ups of villains could have if they were utilized more instead of overlooked in favor of ITS TIME FOR THE JOKER AGAIN WHEEEEEEEE!)
Batman: Under the Red Hood (hahahhahaha no. like could you imagine me reccing this? LOL its not realistic. Nah, stick with the animated movie retelling. At least Bruce doesn’t slit his son’s throat in that one to save the damn clown again)
Batman: R.I.P (I reluctantly rec this not because I like it, cuz I don’t, its Morrison back on his bullshit in a most I AM THE MOST GALAXY BRAINED OF ALL THE GALAXY BRAINED AND ALSO IM A CHAOS MAGICIAN DID U KNOW THAT HUH DID YA DID YA, like, fashion. Its. A lot. The story is A Lot. I don’t say that in a complimentary way. BUT I recommend it anyway out of pure stubbornness and Dick Grayson fanboy spite, as its set like, directly before Bruce is believed dead and gets lost in time, and like, A LOT happens to Dick in that story that SHOULD BE extremely relevant and crucial to examinations of his mental and emotional state at the time of him assuming Bruce’s role in the family and as Batman, but that just like....ISN’T, and that annoys me. Also, the primary villain of this, Dr. Hurt, like.....
his grand endgame involved torturing the fuck out of Dick to hurt Bruce specifically, and pretty much the first thing that happens when Bruce DOES come back from being lost in time is Dr. Hurt pops up out of nowhere and shoots Dick in the head, like FIRST THING, like this is the absolute first thing Bruce has to deal with when coming back, and this is just like....NONEXISTENT in most fics about that era. Because lolol how can we blame Dick for everything that went wrong and make Bruce be mad at him for how Dick wronged Tim and Jason and all of Gotham probably, if we’re going by actual canon and thus dealing with the fact that Bruce is preoccupied with hovering over his just-shot-in-the-head-specifically-to-fuck-with-Bruce son’s bedside and WORRYING about him. LOLOL hashtag Fandom Willfully Erases The Majority of Dick’s Canon Traumas Not Because They Want To Set Canon On Fire - they’re usually fine with sticking to every instance of canon in which Dick does something even in the ZIP CODE of wrong - but rather because if we acknowledge Dick’s traumas then eww, he might come across as....sympathetic? No, we can’t have that. ERGO HE WAS NEVER SHOT IN THE HEAD HAHAHAH WE FIXED IT, WE FIXED CANON).
But I digress.
Battle for the Cowl (another reluctant rec because like, its dumb and its bad, but its one of those things that I’d still rather more people read than didn’t, because like it is pivotal and relevant, and it contains key plot points like oh Idk, Arkham literally blowing up as all the currently locked up inmates escape, which led to Dick having Wayne Enterprises rebuild it himself, and like, the only villains present in it when he was Batman being the villains he and Damian CAUGHT while he was Batman, which did NOT include the Joker, and thus all the hot takes about how Dick locked up Jason two doors down from his murderer like the uncaring bastard that he is, like.....instead of the reality that Dick pulled strings to have Jason put in Arkham instead of Blackgate when the POLICE ARRIVED ON SCENE AND LOCKED UP THE ANONYMOUS RED HOOD BECAUSE HE WAS CLEARLY DEFEATED AND CLEARLY A WANTED CRIMINAL AND THUS LIKE, HIS IMPRISONMENT LITERALLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DICK OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT DICK DEFEATED JASON RATHER THAN LETTING HIM KILL HIM AND DAMIAN.....
like, its literal canon that Dick explains himself for having Jason put in Arkham instead of Blackgate because it allowed him to keep Jason OUT of gen pop where he had literal dozens of enemies that he, Jason, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING THEM IN THERE HIMSELF, and it was to keep Jason SAFE, and it WORKED as Jason’s only actual canon complaint at that time was that he was BORED. So in conclusion, AS ALWAYS, you can do what you want, but when you literally manufacture the fake fanon - and completely fail to make any effort to establish that this is NOT actual canon and that you’re not actually riffing off of an actual canon moment - that Dick callously locked his brother up a few doors down from his own murderer (the dude that Dick himself literally once beat to death because he killed Jason).....like, inquiring minds would like to know, why are you trying so hard to make Dick look like THIS MUCH of an asshole, hmm?)
Batman: The Gates of Gotham (a weird, but fun little read IMO, that delves deep into the backstory of Gotham, the Waynes, and also Dick’s ancestors the Crownes, and establishes a lot of the history revolving around all of the above, and like, it actually has Dick as Batman and being competent and respected by the rest of the family in that role, and its also one of the only times Cass and Damian interacted one on one, stuff like that)
Batman and Robin Eternal (eww no, kill it also with the fire, burn it, I hate it, uggggggh why is this series so praised, its so baaaaaaaaaaaad, its like what if literally every character involved in it is an asshole to Dick for no valid reason whatsoever.....huh, weird thought, wonder if the fact that its so praised as being so good and Dick’s so hated for weird reasons by a lot of fandom are connected....almost like.....the fiction influenced how people viewed his character....and thus....critical commentary of how the fiction was bad is....relevant....HMM I MUST PONDER THIS STRANGE AND NOVEL THOUGHT).

Recent Media Consumed
Games
The First Tree. So, I’ve concluded that this game is not for me, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. If anything, I’ve found it at the wrong time in my life. This is clearly a game meant to help people process grief, and I might recommend that anyone who is going through grief and loss give it a try. It might help.
Portal 2: Co-op version. SO. I can’t believe neither of us realized this… but around the same time, my husband and I realized that for years we’d both “figured we’d never get to play the co-op version of Portal 2.” HAHAHAH. We kind of sat there, stunned for a moment, and immediately dove in. MUCH FUN. And sometimes Glados has different dialogue for each player, trying to pit us against each other. Lovely extension of the game.
Books
The Housing Boom and Bust by Thomas Sowell. This was one where I didn’t understand everything, but the parts that I understood helped clarify a lot. My parents were one of the couples suckered by an institution that knew how to take advantage of the loopholes and risky creative home re-financing procedures described by Sowell. I have hazy memories of the situation because I didn’t care for finances and didn’t understand what was happening. I appreciated how Sowell tackled the failings of both political parties in this whole debacle, and the way he describes it, it stretches backwards and forwards and I can see the pattern and it is dismal and depressing. At the same time, very useful to know. It’s fairly readable and on the shorter side of his works. Very useful read.
Nutcracker and Mouse King/The Tale of the Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffmann/Alexandre Dumas. These two versions of the Nutcracker fairytale were paired in a Penguins Classic volume, along with a helpful introductory. I have to say that, though Hoffman’s is the original, I understand Dumas’ version far more easily. Maybe it’s a translation issue or maybe it really is a drastic difference in writing. Either way, it was interesting to read the roots of the George Ballanchine ballet I grew up watching, and getting a heavy dose of “author’s intent” lecture in the introduction.
Clara & The Nutcracker by T.K. Merchant (Jessica Kalei Sheffield). I was pointed in the direction of this story that someone had written as a follow-up to the Nutcracker story. First, I had to read the original Nutcracker story (as seen in the previous point) and then I read through this. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I feel this story could have benefitted from more editing work. On the other hand, I have bittersweet pangs of jealousy reading what is clearly a published (and legal) fanfiction. It’s a good story with a solid core that (IMO) just needs some more spit and polish.
12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson. At this point I’ve seen enough of his lectures that I’m starting to get a real feel for what he says and believes in general. That being said, this was still a very polished and condensed version of it, and well worth reading. I think I was dragged into an alley and MUGGED by his chapter about friendship. It was a big, “Ow. But. True,” feel. Some of his chapters are straightforward and concrete and some are more abstracted, so this book ranges from chapter to chapter in terms of ease in reading comprehension. This book is geared more toward chaotic type people like me. Now I’m curious what he has to say to the more orderly type people. *eyes the other book*
A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell. This was interesting. It was probably medium difficulty to read because it did deal with abstract concepts but grounded them pretty thoroughly in examples and historical references. Though it’s likely clear which vision Sowell ascribes more to, this work (as far as I can tell) is an academic look at the roots, paths, strengths, and weaknesses of the political divide. I think this is a good “bridging the gap” book because it does attempt to thoroughly lay out why each side is self consistent in its beliefs and behaviors. I think it is a read that leads to deeper understanding of both sides.
The Quest for Cosmic Justice by Thomas Sowell. This is a collection of essays that overlaps other works of his (Intellectuals and Society, A Conflict of Visions, etc) but focuses on this one aspect. It is definitely not unbiased, but it’s very readable.
Movies
Loving Vincent. I’d heard about this movie, off and on, for a long time. Is it too low of a pun to say, “This movie is art”? I mean… this movie is animation… but with HAND PAINTED OILS. In the style of Van Gogh. How even??? And the dialogue is pretty good, too. There’s a lot of emotion conveyed in this film, both through the visuals and story of it all. And the flashback scenes are, sometimes, nearly photorealistic in their style. I also love how you have to piece together who Vincent was through many different peoples’ memories of him, not all flattering. It is a painful movie to watch, and ends with the iconic song dedicated to Vincent. This is quality cinema.
Missing Link. I really shouldn’t have put watching this off for so long. Laika studio’s stop motion gets smoother EVERY. FRIGGIN. FILM. Gosh… I have to believe some of these shots were just them showing off, seriously. Once you are looking for it, you can see some scenes that are just there because they’re impressive under the circumstances of it being STOP. MOTION. But they’re done well enough that they don’t detract even a tiny bit from the quality of the film (as opposed to situations where I’ve seen some films do 3D effects very intrusively). So, all that said, I didn’t enjoy the story as much. Cardboard villainy isn’t as fun for me as it used to be, so my enjoyment of the story isn’t as high as for other Laika films, but it's good for one watch through.

hi, ith me again 💞 this time i’ve come into your home for a matchup request! I’m 5’5 ish, long black hair, a classical pianist. idk what dates are like since i spend majority of my time with the piano HAHAHAH :’) but i think i’d really enjoy aimless stroll anywhere talking abt anything. i’m not into fancy dinners, i’d rather go on a maccas run or order pizza 💖 also road trips! damn, i really wanna go on a road trip with my boy! p.s. bb, there’s only one correct answer 😉💌💞 tysm ily ❤️💖
ABAOSJEK ANA can you believe you sent this in before we became close😻 let’s go back to that🤡 LMAO jk I love you so much here’s your matchup!
I match you with...
✨Kuroo Tetsurou✨
Appearance-wise, Kuroo loves you long hair. And like my long hair hcs say, he’d do anything to just play with it and brush it
He also constantly tells you how pretty you are and dites on your hair
With Kuroo’s intelligent nature, it’d be easy for him to keep up with your rambles and will add onto them when he sees fit
When intelligence meets intelligence, a match made in heaven was created
You playing the piano is his comfort
If he comes home from a long day of work to hear your fingers glide over the piano in that typical way that you do, he’ll find a seat next to you on the bench or on the couch just a few feet away to soak in the melody
And although he’s not even that musical, he enjoys every second of it because it’s you
Being friends with Bokuto, Kuroo also has his spontaneous moments, often suggesting random road trips or weeknight dates
He also loves beach days in the summer so he’d definitely drag you to one for a date to make up for the McDonald’s dinner you took him on the other day (even though he secretly loved it, he’s using this as an excuse to see you in a bikini LOL)
He’s so supportive and reliable you can count on him to be there for you when it counts considering you’ve been under so much stress from the move and with school
And he understands when he’s done something wrong so communication is never an issue
You two have a huge amount of trust in each other so when you go away for anything whether it’s for school, vacation, or just business trips, he’s ready to just be there as your rock and give you the independence you need to succeed
Also you two have probably travelled the world together which strengthens your relationship because the memories you’ve made are etched in your heart forever and will always be irreplaceable
10/10 the couple you always invite to family dinners because you think they’ve got it together but when they show up it turns into a shit show

Dear readers,
Guess who’s back? Once again? Chocolate cake’s back. Tell a friend.
Alright. Let’s stop it right there and come to the unfortunate conclusion that mixing rap lyrics and word quirks is not really my thing. What is my thing however, is writing a daily blog about my life. So here goes; I am terribly excited, dear readers. The winter seems to look a little less bleak as today I will not only pick up my chocolate cake, but I also may or may not have found a potential new home.
Close to my parents home, walking distance from the beach, a tiny balcony for my herbs and just enough space for a kitchen table for four. I kid you not; it is perfect! But, let us not get ahead of ourselves and sell the skin, before the bear has been caught. If it is meant to be, it will be. Same goes for chocolate cake.
Oh..yes..chocolate cake, I hope you are ready for me, dear cake, because I just read your label and it said: “eat me” *winks awkwardly*
Alright, now we must come to the even more unfortunate conclusion that I cannot even write a proper blog post anymore, so let us just wrap this up.
I bid you all a wonderful day,
Your ever excited,
Ali
Two long weeks. Two very long weeks of video chatting, phone calls and cute little text messages. All, despite our best efforts, mere futile attempts to fill the real void that is left behind when you are apart.
Standing on the muted grey tiles of the airport, I had nearly zoned out when finally people started to walk out into the arrivals hall. The large empty space echoed with the sound of tiny suitcase wheels reeling in and people greeting their loved ones with excited squeals, my eyes carefully looking before finally noticing a familiar face. Or snout actually. Kal.
‘KAL!’ I exclaimed, immediately getting noticed by the large “service” dog at work, his poor owner needing to put all his weight in his heels to not to be dragged off and haul over a bunch of grannies. With wide smiles I met that all familiar, though this time unshaven, face of one very happy Henry.
‘Hey babe.’ He cooed after a few rushed steps to get in my vicinity. ‘Hi.’ I breathed, looking up into those tender blues of his. Like a stormy ocean, the speckle of brown in them a desolate island or perhaps an autumn leaf that has fallen from its mother branch. Drifting. Lost. Though in Henry’s case not entirely. He was back home.
‘I missed you so much.’ He murmured, quickly wrapping me in his large arms, not heeding any mind to people taking pictures of him. Of us. ‘I missed you too.’ I whispered, petting Kal’s head that was desperately trying to squeeze in between our moulded together bodies. ‘Hmm.’ Henry smiled into my neck, feeling the eager dog pressing into his thigh. ‘That makes two.’
‘Or three.’ I laughed, leaning back a little to get another good look at him. Even unshaven and travel weary he was one hell of a handsome man to behold. Sharp cheeks, chocolate curls - was his hair growing out? He looked back at me with equally studious and sweet loving eyes, one hand now travelling up to cup my cheek, his other quite deftly holding on to both an excited Akita and a bag that was hung over his left shoulder.
Henry too, enjoyed traveling light.
He sighed, visibly relaxing as he leaned in, lips caressing mine and beard burning on my skin. And much to soon the kiss was broken again, his hand now moving to push a bit of hair back behind my ear. ‘Hello love.’ He whispered, remaining close enough for his voice to only reach my ears. I smiled, almost a bit stupidly and practically threw myself back in his arms, hiding my face in the crook of his neck, my nose eagerly sniffing up that scent that I had missed so.
‘Hmmmmm.’ I hummed, enjoying every moment of it. That was until Kal started to whine. Henry chuckled. ‘Alright. Looks like someone needs a tree. Now!’
With wide laughs we quickly ran out of the airport, the nearest square foot of greenery having to do the trick for poor Kal.
—
‘Hey and I saw that Charlie’s back as well.’ I said, looking out over the road, my hand on the steering wheel of my mom’s car, Henry on the shotgun seat and Kal panting in our necks. It was not a particularly large car. More the size of: “Honey, I’m going to get groceries, but if you want more than two crates of beer you’ll have to fetch it yourself.”. In fact, it was a tiny car, really. And it sure looked funny to see these two large bears folded over in their seats, Henry having to keep his head slightly tilted to not hit the roof.
‘Yea. We’re working on a new project actually, through Promethean Productions. And he hadn’t seen mom and dad in months, so, decided to combine the two.’
‘Family first, hmm?’
‘Always.’ He sighed, turning his head to watch the wintery coast line, the beaches now deserted as ice cold winds rushed through the dune grass. ‘It’s good to be back.’ He said, more to himself, than to me.
‘It’s good to have you back.’ I agreed, keeping my eyes on the road, the houses of both our parents now slowly coming into view.
—
‘Are you sure you don’t want me to come along?’ He had managed to squeeze himself out of my mom’s car again, Kal already happily sniffing through his parents front yard. ‘Really Hen. I am more than capable of checking out that apartment myself. See you tonight…babe.’ I winked, gesturing him to close his door. He laughed and shook his head, refusing to close the door and instead manoeuvring back inside to press another longing kiss on my lips.
‘Well make sure I can fit in there. Because this car..’ He widened his eyes in exasperation. I laughed. ‘Gotcha gotcha. Superman’s buns of steel need ROOM hahahah. See you tonight.’ - ‘See you soon love.’ He rested his forehead for the slightest moment against mine. As if wishing to imprint my scent and the warmth of my body in his memory.
I’d better make sure I’d to the same. But that would be a good mission for tonight. First things first; the apartment.
—
‘It even has enough room for a big bed!’ I giggled, feeling his beard scratch my belly from beneath the sheets. ‘Mhmm.’ He rumbled, nodding his head in such a way that his scruff was tickling me even more. I jolted and squirmed, but nonetheless continued my story: ‘And ..HAHHAHAA..oh gods..And..eh..a bath. Henry. Stop HAHAHA It has a bathtub. A very nice…HENN..bathtub.’
‘Mhm.’ He smiled, crawling back up and poking his head out from underneath the sheets. ‘YOU!’ I warned, making him quirk up a challenging eyebrow. ‘Whatcha gonna do about it, princess?’
I bit my lip and slowly shook my head. ‘Two and a half months and you are already teasing me like this? That is no way to treat a la..-‘ He flipped us over, my surprised mouth halting mid-sentence as I was now suddenly straddling him. ‘Very well, I’m listening.’ He wrapped both his arms behind his head, giving me a smug smile, the vision of his large, popping muscles obviously making simple things like speaking full sentences just about impossible.
‘UGH..’ I sighed, letting my hands fall on his hairy pecs. ‘So mean.’ I pouted playfully. He grinned and shrugged his shoulders ever so slightly. ‘I’m not doing ANYTHING, dear. Please continue. The bathtub.’
Suddenly the mere thought of a bathtub made me think of all kinds of things unholy. Two weeks without Henry sure had made me a itsy bitsy bit crazy in the nether regions, because simply no toy or self loving session could quite calm me down like he could. I sighed again in utter defeat and slumped down on his gym honed god physique, my head resting on his chest and my ear picking up on the excited drum of heart.
Which meant that it wasn’t just me who was a little bit excited. In fact, I could feel some.. things.. that definitely implied he was very..very happy to see me.
‘Hen, I think, for the sanity of the both of us, we really should start looking into eh..the distance issue. Okay? I mean. This is two weeks. Two weeks!’ I shifted my hip slightly, making my point even more valid. He inhaled sharply, suppressing a moan and quickly lowered his arms, wrapping them carefully around my lower back and booty.
‘What are you trying to say Ali?’ He said, his voice a bit unsure.
I felt his unease quite immediately, propping myself up on my arms so I could look in his eyes, my legs still straddling him. ‘I mean that I just have to be with you. Could we please look into this? Find out how we can make it so?’ I said, seeing his worried face relax again. I sighed a tender smile. ‘Don’t worry. I’m not going to let you get away from me this time. RAWR!’ I growled, leaning down and sucking his bottom lip into my mouth, tugging it playfully.
‘Mmwwkey.’ He mumbled, his lip still caught between mine, until finally another one of his million dollar smiles broke through, his whole chest rumbling with mirth. ‘Give me your right hand.’
I leaned back up again and licked my lip, quirking my head a bit in confusion by his request. ‘Are you going to eat it? Be honest now Cavill. I see that look in your eyes.’ I warned him, with a teasing glint in my otherwise serious expression. He laughed aloud. ‘Please no, Ali. There’s other things I could eat..out..but that will have to wait. Give me your hand.’
Hesitantly I offered him my hand, waiting for him to do his worst. But, he didn’t. Instead he reached his own right hand in between our chests, then looped his pinky around mine.
‘I hereby solemnly pinky swear that I will do the best I can to make sure we will be apart as little as possible.’
I blinked, looking down at our interlinked pinkies, before the whole dorkiness of the situation caught up to me, my whole body convulsing as I started to laugh. ‘HAHAHAHHA. Oh Cavill. You are..hahah..by far..the worst..pirate…-‘
‘YARRRR.’ He laughed, rolling us back over again, his right hand staying interlocked with my pinky. ‘Now before I come to claim my booty. Do you solemnly swear, too, fair lady?’
‘Ye—HAHAHHAa HEN-‘ He brushed his beard hair into my neck, lathering a few wet kisses on the sensitive part of my skin. ‘Ye—yess. Okay. I swear. I swear. HAHAHHAAHa.’
‘Good.’ He grinned, disappearing below the blankets again. Ready to claim his prize.
