Hello! Can you explain the pretty lady in your profile :0 is she an oc? Is she from a show? Did you draw her? Whats her name? She's just so pretty my heart can't-
Me reading this ☝️
She's actually my Hazbin OC! Her name is Nix and I could honestly go on and ON about her but I understand people don't come to this blog for her. She was kinda the whole reason I started this blog in the first place so I put her as my pfp and header to honor her 💅
She would genuinely be so flustered and embarrassed that you called her pretty but she actually doesn't look like that. She uses a glamor and make up to make herself look more colorful
She actually looks like this 👇She's sort of aquatic because she drowned after being shot and paralyzed by an officer
But she's always hated how ghostly her real form is so she changed it up, the colors on her are just leftover makeup 💄
She works as a hitman/information broker and has no regrets about ending up in hell.
"Why would I want to go up there? Heaven is full of people who will hear what happened to me and tell me I should've been grateful for the opportunity to forgive. To become a better person for it. Fuck. That."
And I've already rambled on about her but thank you so much for asking about her!! I love her and have already developed a whole backstory and stuff for her! So it means a lot that someone took interest in her!

…. Yeah. we are fucked.
Me too, Ed, me too. Although I have no regrets.

im watching blood of youth and have made it to ep 6 so far, and it is starting to grow on me after episode 5. however, since i've seen a few comparisons between the two which have led to my watching it, i would not say it has a similar vibe to mysterious lotus casebook, so i would not recommend watching one because you like the other and hope to find something similar.
to clarify, the vibe i get so far from BoY is very similar to a shounen . it has the young teenage protagonists on a grand mission, the companions coming to each other's aid, it has the fighting spirit, the leveling up (even the training sequences with hype music!) Possibly, it is also more of a traditional wuxia (but experts pls weigh in on this) because there is a much greater focus on fighting and overcoming adversities in a martial arts context. i understand there is a great political intrigue coming up at the end, so maybe things will change. for now, i see a lot about martial arts with impressive visuals, youths choosing their paths regardless of the previous generations' choices (a theme i like!) and about growth and breaking out of the shell in general
mysterious lotus casebook leans strongly towards murder-mystery and intrigues. it also deals a lot less with the passion of youth as a theme. the protagonists are older (li lianhua and di feisheng should be in their early thirties, fang duobing is likely around 20, but it's not specified). the mood varies wildly, but it's sometimes a soft ghibli and sometimes an eerie ghost story... it deals with accepting the fragility of human life, haunting/escaping the narrative, closure, death and rebirth, being queer (yeah, i'm saying this), mirror sides of human bonds and their sometimes coincidental, brittle but precious nature... despite impressive fight sequences, leveling up in martial arts really falls to the far background. much of the heart of the story is li xiangyi being given a chance to make his goodbyes to the jiang hu, but also living again as li lianhua.
also, a point that seems minor, but can lead to very different feels: the visuals of both shows are different. mysterious lotus casebook is soft colors and low contrast. it's crisp fights, but barely any magical attacks and few effects. it makes up for the lack of special effects with agile and artistic camera work, and smart use of speed, as well as elegance in the choreography. blood of youth uses more highly saturated colors. the visuals are aimed at impressing. the cgi is very decent, and can lead to a pleasant image on their own, but sharp moves are also used. i think if you come out of BoY and head into MLC expecting the same level of visual shock, you might come out thinking MLC has less impressive fights. or on the contrary, if you are not into cgi at all, you might head into BoY and think it's overkill.
not saying that you can't enjoy both! i adore MLC to death, but i enjoy a good shounen and i am starting to enjoy BoY. so far, i feel like they've told very well what they set out to tell, but i would not pit the two against each other in an objective manner. they feel like apples and pears to me, despite some jokes feeling similar (xiao se being a miser, li lianhua being an iron rooster, wu xin's bad cooking, li lianhua's bad cooking etc) the atmosphere of the two shows have extremely different vibes to me. MLC feels like blossoms falling softly on grass and waterfalls, BoY (so far) feels like setting off firecrackers and a storm on the rise. they are love letters to different aspects of the jiang hu. if you want to tackle both, please don't expect the same thing out of the two

This is my third time being (actually) sick during the Bean Time, and I very literally think that while I probably could have emotionally handled having a cold that destroyed all of my weekend plans, experiencing Braxton Hicks probably due to dehydration (I'm trying okay) for the first time ever WHILE having a cold that has destroyed all of my weekend plans is pushing me a little past my bullshit tolerance threshold.
...On the plus side, got a good grade in blood sugar. So there's that at least.
