#is pretty short all things considered

[veliseraptor]

Honestly I really feel that by Yi City Xue Yang isn't mad at Song Lan any more. He's moved on from all that arrest and massacre business. If he IS mad it's probably on XXC's behalf, not his own. All this is just going to make Song Lan even more furious, though.

I feel like the arc of Xue Yang's feelings toward Song Lan goes roughly like:

You really pissed me off that one time so I'll remember it forever.

I'm actually more mad at Xiao Xingchen so this isn't really personal but you suffering is a fun bonus

Largely forgetting about his existence for a while

Wow thanks Song Lan for setting things up perfectly so I can move in with Xiao Xingchen, this is great and your contribution is appreciated

Song Lan is so stupid, unbelievable that he ditched Xiao Xingchen, why would you even do that, guess that just goes to show how useless he is

Song Lan, that fucker, how could he ditch Xiao Xingchen and hurt him like that, very rude, 0/10, obviously Xue Yang is better because he will absolutely never do that

SONG LAN RUINED MY LIFE, FIERCE CORPSE JAIL FOR SONG-DAOZHANG, FIERCE CORPSE JAIL FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS!!!!

This is all Song Lan's fault and a little bit a-Qing's, if he'd just not gotten involved (again) or died faster there wouldn't be a problem now, why does Xiao Xingchen care about him so much anyway, he's boring and the worst

Song Lan is still stupid and still the worst but if Xiao Xingchen comes back he might think about keeping him around if he's so important, probably he can make that work, he just has to figure out the right balance of free will to controllable and he'll make a great bargaining chip to keep Xiao Xingchen from doing anything reckless and regrettable, this is a genius plan

A boy's best friend is his fierce corpse he's controlling and can have one sided conversations with and occasionally cuddle when things are really rough, this is normal behavior and everything is fine.

but yeah, if Song Lan knew how much time Xue Yang spends just straight up not caring about him except as an incidental problem and/or a vaguely fond memory of the nifty two-birds-one-stone temple murder plan, he would be very unhappy about it.

#conversating #anonymous #song lan #xue yang #i can tag this as #songxue #if i want to #aggressively headcanons #the sad queer cultivators show #but yeah i am FASCINATED by their dynamic #because that is the thing! the span of time where xue yang actually actively hates song lan #is pretty short all things considered #mostly song lan is an incidental casualty in his psychological warfare on xxc #up until he very suddenly is much more of a personal problem for xue yang #in an au like ilcbt xy is legitimately kind of like 'why are you even so upset with me' because for him the whole baixue thing #just doesn't register as a major event in and of itself. he's over it so why isn't song lan #weird that he can't just let things go #(and obviously when it comes to the chang clan he was just right so #all moral objections are wrong and invalid actually)

For Pit, father's day is an odd thing to picture of but so is mother's day. The concepts aren't foreign to him, but because of his upbringing he finds both of the days as weird to think of. He understands why both of them exist because being a good, loving parent to your children is always worth celebrating - he simply had no reasons to think of these days as anything important back then. Pit doesn't even remember ever having a mother, and for the longest time he didn't remember having a father either.

Well, at least that's who Pit assumes the golden-haired man from his dreams is. The young boy couldn't really think of him being anything else but his father; he too had wings and blue eyes like Pit's, so there seemed to be some connection between them. Even if it wasn't by blood, the man had certainly acted as if he was Pit's father, therefore making him worthy of the title in Pit's eyes. He had after all called himself lucky for having Pit in his life. But all that did was make his sudden disappearance even more weird to Pit; just what had happened to him? It seemed like he had every intention of coming back to Pit and based on Palutena's reaction in one of his memories, it had been unexpected to her as well. It clearly couldn't have been Medusa's doing, she had executed her plans when Pit had been much older, so what had caused it? Clearly his father had known he was marching into something since he had been wearing that fancy armor, but what had he been fighting against? And would it even matter anyway because of what Medusa had done to angels? Had he too been turned to stone like all the others or was he still out there somewhere? And this was him completely ignoring the tiny chance that his father simply just looked like an angel and wasn't actually one; angels were rarely if ever allowed to wear something of that high quality as his battle armor had been, and it looked like it had been made specifically for him. Why was an angel wearing something so ornate, Pit didn't know nor did he have any guesses that made even a lick of sense. Eventually he had come to accept that slight chance, as outlandish it had felt like; he knew that wings weren't exactly uncommon among the divine and their servants, so maybe his father was just one of those people. Pit had after all heard few offhand comments from Palutena that even some gods of extremely high status like Ares and Hebe had wings, something their children also possessed (presumably their servants as well, though he hadn't thought of it enough of to ask about it back then). Now what made them so different from angels, Pit didn't know why.

(In fact, the more he tried to think of it, the less he understood it. Thankfully it seemed to be a common opinion, as even Palutena couldn't give him straightforward answer about it. Apparently there was something more fundamental that separated gods from angels than simply having wings, though that never stopped some gods from having angel children. When Pit had asked her to explain that, Palutena had simply shrugged her shoulders and told him that she was equally clueless about that matter.)

Lost in thoughts, Pit can't help wonder how Palutena could react if he told her of these newly awakened memories. Part of him does wish to break the silence and talk things straight with her, but at the same time he feels like now isn't the time for that. Compared to what she has to worry of, Pit feels like everything he worries of is so meaningless and trivial. It feels so unimportant and not worth discussing when there are still so many troubles in the world, all of which have to be dealt first before he can focus on his own problems. Time's a limited resource and he just doesn't have enough of it.

For a moment his thoughts stray to Dark Pit and he can already imagine the other angel yelling at him and begging for him to be selfish for once in his life - he knows it's inevitable once he gets to know of the dreams, Dark Pit's going to yell at him for not coming out to the clear immediately, but Pit doesn't think that he's allowed be selfish quite yet. Not when the Underworld army is still causing trouble and he's not even sure of what may have happened to his father. Once things have calmed down a bit and he has some ideas of where to start looking, he can be selfish. There likely wouldn't be any harm of Dark Pit knowing a bit sooner than others, though - it's simply a matter of how much sooner, because it can't be that much sooner. He's going to be the first one to know, but only once everything has calmed down a bit.

Pit still isn't completely sure of how he's supposed to deal with father's day moving forward. Maybe one day he could actually have something worth celebrating; if nothing else, at least he'd have some closure. It would be good enough. But now all Pit has to focus on is to think what he's eventually going to say to Dark Pit when he tells of the golden-haired angel to him.

[sacrilegious-skeletal-scribe]

In the Making of a Beast

there was a, confusion

not in premise, but in the quandary of execution

an opposing force in the question of not what,

but how?

how to epitomize the description of a town crier

whose flowery words spin pictures of their own

pictures by definition, requiring interpretation

only a paid hand, stitching letters together for whatever audience wandered too close

but a poster, a drawing, a panting, wide-jawed image

that exists on its own merits

etched marble is all well and good,

‘a spine caught between wordless command and the length of its flexibility,

the afflicted to become some great, lumbering thing,

a warped paroxysm, open bones clearly defined for a bipedal sort of shuffle

forced downwards and pressed wide, in the interest of four-legged speed.

agony entwined to twitching and breathing, the outcome of a god healing a supplicant,

without looking at any of the particulars.

a fully articulated deer model, built from an ideal specimen and a few dozen railroad spikes.’

and it’s visceral, the way an axe swings towards a silence in the story

it’s visceral in the way that a blade makes contact and a screen cuts to black

visceral in the great tearing, in the way flesh rips in the minds eye, left with the cooling blood

visceral not because you recognize the expression

visceral because you were given a bowl of thick warm overflowing crimson, a canvas

and instructions to just really go crazy

as a cow is skinned alive in the room down the hall

the beast is incomprehensible because it was spun pretty for audience

without remorse for the subject

the beast was agony incarnate, caught between two states that will never welcome it

undeserving of forward momentum,

the agony between here and the other end of a hole made for one

incapable of returning to peace, stasis denied by the severity of its removal

it is a psychological horror, to maim, as well as to injure 

bones set, bruises heal

amnesia passes like blackout curtains pulled away from an intact window

but removal?

take a hot iron to flailing palm

scald flesh and flay nerves down the length of a vein

you are evil, a monster. a boogeyman to sneer at from the safety of eight foot bars

take that fire poker to a white knuckle grip

and sever fingers, leaving nothing but charred reminders

press it against a wildly searching eye, introduce it to the long muscles of the human leg

and you are an unspeakable thing, a shadow faced terror.

a revulsion that passes through doorways and leaves boils in the earth

in the transcript, you will see that it was Adam who took the first life

a timestamp on morality, bird’s eye view, diagram one

but was it not Frankenstein that created life, itself, and summarily tried to destroy it

annotated fear swallowing a grave-robber’s mania

as if the consequences of his science had only then occurred to him

a newborn foal blinking gold-stained eyes

as creator suffered a crisis of misplaced conscious

and forced creation to flee

the sins of the father stapled to the son

through no fault but the hubris of a man who thought himself god

and blacked out when the reach of his kingdom was revealed

in the making of a beast, there was a confusion

for there, before it, sat a model of character, the epitome of its description

and there, before it, stood a statue in its honor,

a line of teeth wrapped around the expanse of staring horrors, seemingly disinclined to let go

and the title of monsters, of the vilest angers to ever throw glass against a wall

the word afforded to masses of talon and malice,

a kingship to those terrors who tower over commonplace citizens, thought to itself, 

‘well, now.’

‘here’s a conundrum.’

Unhinged Anon, back again! And so incapable of not bugging you with lmk thoughts that I apparently have my own tag now? Thank you but also I’m so sorry??? The monkie show has made me insufferable, and I’m afraid you’ve become the primary target of my insanity. 

Anyways, your tdp soundtrack post got me thinking. Since they haven’t released an official lmk soundtrack (for some reason. LEGO/Flying Bark/whoever makes that decision, we will give you our money just PLEASE GIVE US THE MONKIE MUSIC), I was wondering what your… lets call it 10 (or however many you want to do) favorite tracks from the show are, and more importantly: What would you name each of them?

For example, I love the track that plays in Benched where Tang gives his speech to Macaque and then Pigsy starts singing, and I’d probably name it “There Will Always Be Hope” because goooood I love that speech. Plus, that quote feels pretty relevant to the moment where the leitmotif (I think that’s the right term? I know very little about music and composing) pops up again in Destiny Fulfilled. Anyways, hope you’re having a lovely day! *waves from the precipice of madness*

You always leave me such quality thoughts I thought I'd just give myself a good way to find them faster! BUT YES THIS IS A REALLY FUN ASK. I'll do 6 I think, in no particular order:

1.) The song that plays while scroll Subodhi is talking to MK in front of the stone in 4x06, it drives me insane. I shall dub it "It Was Used to Form Another" or even "Time Will Tell".

2.) The track that plays at the beginning of 4x01 while our mysterious hooded figure picks up the scroll piece. I love all the music associated with the scroll/curse in general. Let's call it the "The Brink of Chaos"

3.) The music during Mei's "We trusted you" speech in 3x10 is AMAZING. I'll call it "Mei's Lament" since her theme plays in minor during those scenes.

4.) The main theme that plays during MK's big "patience and focus" scene during the climax of 1x09. I feel like honestly that's just the main theme of the show, so "Main Theme" or "The Monkie Kid".

5.) The music that plays behind Azure and the Jade Emperor's fight in 4x10, or honestly even their whole convo in general. Let's call it "Was there a Point Where You Questioned It".

6.) The music that plays at the end of 2x10 while Lady Bone Demon crystalizes MK and then the rest of the city, the haunting choir there is SO GOOD. "Destiny Found You".

*waves back from the precipice of madness*

#Please give us the monkie music #Anyways unhinged anon have you ever considered watching tdp. Because. Maybe you should *twirls hair* #I've gotten a number of people to watch lmk now I think it's time the roles were reversed #The Dragon Prince. All about love and grief and war and pain. Great time! #Definitely more bat shit than lmk (to me). One of the main characters trips over a dead body in 1x03 so. If you want to understand the tone #But it's still fun and goofy. However it's ALSO sad and tragic and so delicious #Uhhh OH. Villads was a producer on both shows #Am I making a good case for it asfdasdf #There's like #some supplemental material that I recommend reading (tdp is multi-media) I would 100% be more than willing to make a guide #Those short stories *head in my hands* #''It belongs here' rumbled Pyrrah in his mind. 'Do you think all pretty things are free of pain?'' like okay whatever tdp fine just hurt me #''Reject history as a narrative of strength and instead have faith that it can be a narrative of love'' OKAY TDP FINE #s2 changed me as a person. s5 is about to do it again on the 27th #ANYWAYS #asks #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk rant #unhinged anon

I have more family dynamic thoughts to tease out! We know a lot about how Sun and Moon work together, how they overlap each other just as often as they work together, and in turn we’ve learnt a lot about how different Eclipse is to the two of them… But what about where one of the other two is an outlier instead?

We know Moon is the introvert between two chatty little extroverts, for example, but are there other examples where Sun or Moon is left as the one who does/thinks/likes A where the other two are B? I love how unique all of them are… but the mental image of the boys being able to mentally shake hands with their little brother and not their other half makes me giggle.

Last January ask let's go! <3

This would have been fun to do as a Venn Diagram but alas, I am already cozied up so we'll do it without the visualization

Outlier Moon: Definitely the introversion, and also the fact that he doesn't lie about whatever accidents he gets into. Eclipse lies for fun (like Y/N), and Sun lies to protect his pride, and Moon listens to their bullshit and just sighs. Just in general a little more down to earth, so any time Sun and Eclipse are plotting extensive petty revenge for some reason (Sun for the extensive, Eclipse for the petty), Moon is the voice of reason going "hey maybe we could just. yknow, hear me out. ignore all of that actually." Definitely also the guy insisting on good sleep for any humans involved - while both Sun and Eclipse are very much pro-self care, they're much more easily convinced towards "but what if sleep crimes to stay up with you for a bit?" Also most likely to go non-verbal for a bit - ties into the introversion, but is mostly me projecting. Sometimes talking is just too much, and he goes quiet, communicating only through noises or vague gestures while mostly withdrawing

Outlier Sun: Simply not as much into sci-fi. Moon likes novels with that as focus, and Eclipse isn't opposed, so whenever Moon wants to talk about the intricacies of futuristic tech with someone, he doesn't go to "but is there romance?" Sun. Also the most dramatic of the three, and most obviously putting on an act - and somehow, least confident. Despite everything, Sun is deeply insecure about what roles he plays and has to fill, whereas Moon is doing just fine and Eclipse's insecurities mostly relate to his relationship with Sun and Moon. Sun is very hesitant about everything he projects as soon as his scripts aren't enough, and he (oh gods) has to be his genuine self. Moon and Eclipse both help with that as much as they can though! Also the only one I inflicted with "scripts" type of neurodivergency! Needs to follow certain patterns or else he gets nervous/ unsure, while Eclipse and Moon would not really get what he's talking about/ don't think of social interaction like that

Outlier Eclipse: Apart from the obvious? A lot more thinking outside the box. He's fueled by undeniable and experimental confidence, so even when an idea seems crazy he's willing to try it just to know for sure whether it'll work or not, while Sun and Moon like to play it at least somewhat safe. Eclipse isn't scared of set-backs, while Sun and Moon are very much success oriented (despite varying definitions of success). He wants to know what would happen, rather than just what will work! A lot more blunt, too, and definitely least aware of conversational cues. It even takes Sun and Moon a bit to adjust - they're so used to each other, it doesn't occur to them they have to spell certain things out to him! Also the most curious about "human-only" things, like how things would taste and why people eat just for the fun of it, why exactly muscles get sore, or the ways "eyes" developed multiple times in different ways! He wants to know everything, while Sun and Moon are focused more on what is useful to them, and it results in a lot of "useless" trivia from Eclipse

#answer let luce #daye asks #accidentally undercover #im slightly not sober but most was written yesterday so this should be fine? #hfjdks #sorry i mostly just wanna post this after i got distracted by aumv yesterday #pretty short one all things considered too #but i hope it's fun anyhow! #love how a good bunch of the differences is just me going “now what which parts of my autism i projected onto them” lmao #they're still brothers and Eclipse is a result of both of them coexisting #so they're similar/ family despite the differences #so yeah #sorry it's short the reason is theyre very close and similar and also it's hard to think of every possible difference rn #so it stays with mostly what I wrote yesterday fghdjsk #enjoy! <3

Okay, seriously. I like to joke about the amount of sh*t Schmendrick takes throughout the movie, but can we talk about his past family life for a sec? Per canon, he:

- Is called “useless” in his face by his father, while being dropped at a stranger’s place (Nikos) with the very clear intent of getting rid of him (”The Green Eyed Boy”); - Is so used to be called “Schmendrick” - which it’s stated to NOT be his real name in universe, but an established insult - that he does not, at twelve years old, answer his true name ( ”The Green Eyed Boy”); - Has very probably not been fed properly, Nikos hinting at this while stating that the very first thing he has done for Schmendrick is giving him food becase the boy was way too hungry ( ”The Green Eyed Boy”); - Never sees any member of his family ever again because after he had been dropped at Nikos’ place they completely forget about him ( ”The Green Eyed Boy”); - Is so used to his parents interrupting him that he has troubles answering Nikos when asked what his name is, only to talk freely and without fear only AFTER his father has left ( ”The Green Eyed Boy”); - Is mocked by his brothers for being a late bloomer and hitting puberty later (”Schmendrick Alone”).

#The Last Unicorn #TLU #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #the green-eyed boy #Schmendrick alone #In the novel it's played for laughs #Schmen being like my mom nevr liked me #but then you read the short novels and realize it's abuse #no wonder he thinks sh*t about himself #my poor boi #he's a pretty decent person all things considered #his parents and brothers are dicks

Suchhhhhhh a good day

•lovely sunny weather but not too hot

•didn’t have work and don’t have work tomorrow

•took a shower in the morning and had my hair braided right after while still wet

•got bakery goods mmm

•made toffee and chopped some up which was really satisfying

•wore two different comfy cute outfits that I really enjoy and feel myself in

•blasted ridiculous songs on the way back from the bakery and looked ridiculous in a lovely way

•crocheted blanket I’m working on

•DIDNT GET A HEADACHE DIDNT GET A GLINT OF HEADACHE NOT EVEN AN INKLING OF PREHEADACHE

As far as getting things accomplished I didn’t do hardly anything but in the business of enjoying life I excelled today!

#my thoughts #one of the outfits was my carhartt overalls with ny light blue tank top #the other is an athletic tank top with athletic shorts but both actually fit me which I haven’t had any that really fit in years so woooo #oh and it’s a black tank top :) I love wearing black and I thought for a long time it was because wearing color made me anxious #but now that I’m pretty much over that I think I just really love wearing black #I feel sexy in it >:) #saying that as someone who literally never rarely ever feels or is compelled to feel “sexy #I think I’m experiencing something like gender euphoria of late #pardon me for using terms not really suited to my situation I don’t know how else to explain it #but basically I’ve never been enthusiastic really about myself and how I present in the world #being called a woman felt not good. felt like I was not a woman because a woman was supposed to be someone who looked and acted certain #“desirable ways #like I was not what society considered to be a woman. girl was fine I guess and I definitely wasn’t a guy. I just felt like woman was #an incredibly high standard to meet that I did not meet nor really wanted to meet. being called a woman made me internally cringe #I’ve known for a while there’s no right way to be a woman but I think I’ve finally internalized that and am at a point #where I truly love myself and accept myself. and now being a woman seems all right. so being a woman feels euphoric to me #and expressing myself in clothing and other presentations is incredibly fun and feels euphoric #I never really had much of an interest before. probably because I felt like there was some standard I had to meet that I couldn’t and didnt #want to meet. but now I’m discovering what I really like and doing things because it’s fun and silly and goofy and it’s so FUN #anyway. thanks for coming to my ted talk #playing around with gender is beneficial to everyone

echo, i just wanted to come in here and wish you a happy holidays... we've been through a lot together, haven't we? i'm glad that through the year we've grown closer- i find i've come to love more about you everyday. i know that may sound cheesy, but... it's true. i really am grateful that we met each other, because i know that i wouldn't be the same without you- nor would i be as happy as i am. and i want to savor the happiness in our moments together today, so... i hope that you'll stay by my side in the coming years.
