A VISIT TO KING'S LANGLEY
King’s Langley was once home to a massive Plantagenet palace, built out of the remnants of a hunting lodge of Henry III for Edward I’s Queen, Eleanor of Castile. She furnished it lavishly, with carpets and baths. There were shields decorating the hall and a painted picture of four knights going to a tournament, while the expansive gardens were planted with vines. After her death, the palace was…

The Dar al-Hajar (Arabic: دار الحجر, "Stone House" or "Rock Palace") is a former royal palace located in Wadi Dhar about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Sana'a, Yemen. Built in the 1920s as the summer retreat of Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din, ruler of Yemen from 1904 to 1948, it sits on top of a structure built in 1786 for the scholar al-Imam Mansour. The palace stayed in the royal family until the Yemen revolution of 1962. The palace is now a museum. In 1974, Pier Paolo Pasolini used the palace as the home of Princess Dunya in his film The Arabian Nights.

Just placed my preorder for the first volume of Comics Rebubbled, in which public-domain comics are rewritten to include completely different stories with an awkward, comical twist.
I fear I am more interested in this than I have any right to be.

Brighton Pier, England
Tumblr media
One of Brighton's most prominent landmarks is Brighton Palace Pier. Opened in 1899, the pier has long been a destination for entertainment. The site has survived a closure during World War II, severe storms and a fire in 2003. A number of attractions and amusements are available on the pier, including traditional fairground rides like the carousel and helter-skelter, and modern thrills like the Booster and the Turbo Coaster. For those looking for seaside fare, there are several restaurants and kiosks serving classic British snacks like fish and chips, candy floss and ice cream. With a view of the city skyline on one side and the stunning sea on the other, this is a great spot for photography and sightseeing.

for anyone who criticizes jyl for bringing soup to yiling instead of like, money—
we should first ask: could jyl actually have given wwx money? she must have something, you say. the jins are rich! she could even give him some of her betrothal gifts.
but realistically jyl probably didn't have much money at all! let's think this through. not only did she not marry jzx yet at the time of her yiling visit, but (based on many, many imperial palace tv shows lol) all her worth would be in betrothal gifts of jewelry, fine clothing, or other misc items, which is 1) heavy and difficult to transport without notice, but that doesn't actually matter bc it's ultimately 2) disrespectful to sell and worse to have the gifter find out when they come by for tea and you begin chatting about the event in two days and they say oh where's that one-of-a-kind jade bracelet I gave you wouldn't it match the also one-of-a-kind silk garment that lady jin gave you sooo well oh you will look so lovely in it won't you wear it.
or worse, have it recognized in some random pawn shop on the street by someone who has never really liked you and WILL get you in deep shit for it.
does jyl have any money from the jiang side? well, jc has been busy at work rebuilding lotus pier and the clan since before wwx's defection, and even if he's not borrowing a shitton of money from the jins (which he almost certainly is), he definitely has the opposite of surplus funds. he's also busy organizing and buying gifts for the wedding too, making him go more in the red because you know the jins aren't going to want cheap-ass things even if you don't have money.
let's say jyl did get a significant bride price (aka given money money)—not only does that go to her family (jc), but it is given during the ceremony (which, again, hasn't happened yet). and, realistically, jc probably will have to use it to offset the costs of the above.
beyond that, let's just take this scene from a storytelling perspective. sometimes it is simply about the emotional resonance. the vibes. let's say jyl did have some funds to give wwx. but imagine if jyl was like here a-xian take all this money 😐 ok sure useful for some period. but is that the gift that wwx would want during the first time he's gotten to see her in months, and likely the last time he will see her in a long, long time (possibly years)? would that be impactful for the story?
meanwhile, the soup she brings represents her love. we hear in the extra, from wwx's own words, the care she put into selecting the ingredients, making sure the lotus root is fresh and perfectly ripe. it also takes hours for her to even make iirc. wwx derives so much comfort from it—that's why it comes up again and again. it is one of his first memories of feeling safe in lotus pier, of home. it provides wwx some semblance of normalcy. he hasn't had any this entire time, and is likely something he aches for whenever he's homesick or sad or questioning his choices. it is simply, given the circumstances, incredibly thoughtful. (and how meaningful was it to see wn treat it with such respect? seeing that is literally the moment in the chapter when wwx realizes—ah. the wens are people I cherish as well.)
and regarding jyl coming in her wedding dress—it is not for herself. it is for wwx. we saw how devastated wwx was just to even hear that jyl was getting married because he had to hear it from someone who wasn't jc or jyl. and to immediately then realize he cannot go? even more heartbreaking. and jyl, who clearly knows wwx extremely well, would know, without having to ask, how upset wwx would be to miss such a huge occasion in their lives that was previously a given. this is what she can do to offset that, even just a little. because jyl came in her dress, wwx gets to experience a piece of her wedding even though he cannot physically be there. not to be a 2000s mastercard ad, but there really are some things that money can't buy.
idk there's also some fist-shaking at the class discrepancy in the scene. and I get it. it sucks! her dress is certainly lavish, and the wens are farming on a corpse mountain and have only just started making a bit of money. yes, it's fine to think that if you were in the character's shoes, maybe you would've found it to be in poor taste—but the story isn't about you. it is about these characters, and what this scene means to them. and I'm of the camp that if there is no indication that wwx is upset by any of this, and in fact moved by it, there really isn't reason for the reader to be righteously indignant about these things on a character's behalf. that's just not the focus or the point of the scene.
plus, jyl is sharp. she is likely more aware of the discrepancy than most people think. she has also been shown in the text to not just be another sheltered, spoiled noble (re jzx soup incident). but if what you want is guilt from jyl—I personally think that guilt is performative, and accomplishes nothing. her guilt would've only made wwx unhappy. instead, here is an action that is meaningful and brings joy to wwx. to share her joy with him is not selfishness, nor is it some lack of awareness of their situation. if in this moment, she shows off her dress, if she revels in her joy, her happiness, it is for wwx, and wwx is incredibly moved by it.
and let's face it—wwx, of all people, would want to see jyl in a wedding dress that cost more than rebuilding lotus pier from the ground up. he wouldn't want anything less.

Found
Tumblr media
Requested by anonymous: Hello! I see the requests are open again!💘 I hope you don't mind one from me: How would Wei Wuxian, Lan Zhan, Lan Xichen, Meng Yao, Wen Ning and Xiao Xingchen react to a woman being found running, injured and scared? Because it turns out that someone has sent assassins to the reader's family and the reader is the only one who manages to escape, but the assassins are still after her. What would they do? How would they help?😔😔😔
Pairing: the untamed boys x fem!reader
Warnings: blood, assassins
Wei Wuxian:
Tumblr media
he's just peacefully walking when he sees you
it's too late to move when he does, however
so you two collide quite painfully
he doesn't care much and instead asks if your okay
when you shake your head, he is also quick to worry
that's when he spots the blood that is splattered across your clothes
as well as the fresh cuts that lingered across your whole body
a sudden shout pulls both of you out of your thoughts
you hide behind Wuxian
he doesn't understand until he sees two men running towards the two of you
they're obviously assassins, their clothes say enough
so Wuxian pulls out his own sword while holding his other arm in front of you
maybe it's the fact that he's helping you or maybe just his aura, but you visibly relax
you aren't shaking much anymore, instead your just hidden now
although Wuxian can still hear he occasional sob or whimper from you
the two assassins are quickly disposed of by Wuxian
then he asks for more of an explanation
one your happy to give, telling him everything that came to mind as you retold what had happened
Wuxian takes you back to lotus pier so you're safe
and he'll surely help you find the actual culprit behind everything
Lan Zhan:
Tumblr media
the usual stroll with all the disciplines was quiet
a bit too quiet even
until you stumbled out of the bushes
your eyes are bloodshot from crying, your hair a mess from running through the branches and your clothes are covered in blood and mud
most disciplines step back so you don't dirty their white and blue clothes
only Lan Zhan steps forward
your quick to explain everything, words faster than Lan Zhan can process
he picks out the most important points of your story
which happen to be massacre and assassins
just as he figured it out, five men jump from out of the woods
their swords are drawn out
Lan Zhan orders the younger ones to take care of it
then he guides you away
you are worried for the younglings left behind to fight, Lan Zhan is not
he knows they'll take care of it
he goes to check on them once you're safe inside
takes care of you for a few months and teaches you to defend yourself
also makes sure that an investigation starts about the demise of your clan
Lan Xichen:
Tumblr media
you stumble to him around the time that he and Meng Yao are in hiding in the woods
you didn't know who either were, you only saw the house from afar
Xichen is kind enough to let you hide there from the assassins chasing you
they stick around for a few days, threatening him multiple times to tell them where you were
he always says the same
I don't know who you're looking for, but they're not here
stupidly enough, the assassins believe him after only 3 tries
you're just glad that they left
nonetheless, Xichen insists that you stay a bit longer
Meng Yao hasn't woken up yet and he's lonely
not that he says that to you, no
he just tells you that the assassins might still be near
which isn't a complete lie
Meng Yao:
Tumblr media
he doesn't usually involve himself in stuff that doesn't have a profit for him
he calculates everything that he does, to the finest details
It was a bit of a surprise when he catches you in the forest as your first meeting
you looked scared, terrified even
not of him, but rather of the men following you
three men, dressed in black
they scattered when one spotted Meng Yao
he was kind enough to bring you back to his place in the Nie palace
brews you some tea to calm you down and carefully listens to your story
he later brings it up to Nie Huaisang, who later says it to his elder brother
which is what Meng Yao wanted to begin with, but he didn't want to do so himself
you're welcomed with open arms by other clans, who all offer to rebuild your clan
Sending pupils your way once everything is in fact rebuild
you can't get your savior out of your mind, you owned him your life
so you granted him anything that he wanted, whenever
he gladly took the offer, but claimed that he didn't want too ask for to much
at the end of this whole ordeal, Meng Yao was glad that he sent those assassins your way
Wen Ning:
Tumblr media
he was practicing in the woods
he missed the target and was quite surprised when he heard a loud yelp
you came from the bushes, running through the river and one man followed
his arrow stuck in the stranger's shoulder
he doesn't really know what to do, freezing as you approached him
luckily for him, the other man doesn't continue after spotting him
you were quick to thank him for shooting the assassin behind you
to which Wen Ning shyly admitted that it wasn't intentional at all
you stare at him for a few seconds before bursting into giggles
he only looked down to the ground in embarrassment
but even with the embarrassment, he manages to stutter out that you should join him for dinner and get treated by his sister
you graciously accept his offer
his sister is very kind throughout the process of stitching and cleaning your wounds
all the while Wen Ning continues to stare your way
he wonders what happened to you
but he doesn't have to wonder for long as his sister asks
and you start to explain, the tears that started forming were clear to see
Wen Ning almost wanted to cry as well, the story sounded a bit too close to his own situation after all
which is why he convinces his sister to let you stay
before begging you to stay around with the promise that he'd take care of you
and that he does
Xiao Xingchen:
Tumblr media
the street was empty, which is why it was so obvious that something was wrong with you
you were running on the street, a panicked look on your face
you tripped not far from him, in arms reach and Xingchen looks at you
he wasn't sure what to do at first, his heart said yes but his head said to not involve himself
his heart won when he saw a few men approaching, dressed in black and clearly there to kill you
his sword was pulled as he stood before you, staring at the man with a glare
the fight doesn't take long, the men are dead after only 10 minutes
while Xingchen cleans his sword, you were quick to get up and thank him
he doesn't say much, instead he just shortly nods before walking away
not expecting you to follow him
you do though, asking him if it was okay to stay as you feared to be alone
he accept the offer or at least until you reached a clan that would protect you
which takes a few weeks and he hates to admit that he's grown attached to you
he hoped you'd stay by his side, but you chose not to
instead, you plan to rebuild your own clan
but you make sure to tell him that he's always welcome to visit
he never gets said opportunity
