I think the thing that makes the Phoenix-Maya dynamic so uniquely excellent is that they’re both simultaneously the silly ridiculous one and the exasperated voice of reason in the relationship. Like, they’re stepping into a pitch-black room and Maya’s like “haha Nick are you scaaaaared?” but she’s hiding behind him the whole time. Or they’re watching a sappy movie and Phoenix is like “pfff Maya are you really getting all emotional about this?” but he’s like sniffling and wiping at his eyes. They’re both pathetic losers who share one brain cell that bounces back and forth between them and it’s just. So good

how dnd is usually described: make a sad character, roll dice, fight a dragon, win gold, the bard is horny
how dnd actually goes: the PCs’ top priority is the ridiculous subplot that they created as originally just an inside joke, which somehow morphed into a genuine part of the story and now jeremy renner just told someone to call him jer-bear
(this edit is hilarious, pls check it out)

Fanfic Masterpost
Fantasy High: Junior Year
i just want somebody near me (guess i'm a coward) - Riz Gukgak & Fabian Aramais Seacaster, missing scene, platonic cuddling, 2.9k words
Fabian is can't stand his big empty house and Riz can maybe read him better than Fabian had thought
words (they just keep spilling out) - Bucky Applebees & Kristen Applebees, missing scene, hurt no comfort, 2.2k words
It’s Kristen's fault the conversation went this terribly wrong. She’s the one who came in swinging, who lost her cool and didn’t think a word she said through. She is paying for it now.
Non se monstret timor (haec infirmitas mea) - Fabian Aramais Seacaster & The Bad Kids, nightmares, character study, 23k words, 5 chapters
After the Bad Kids find Yolanda Badgood's body, Fabian is plagued by terrible nightmares. He does not deal well.
my lament to you - Kipperlilly Copperkettle & Lucy Frostblade, vignette, anger issues, 4.8k words
Kipperlilly loves Lucy more than anything. Life might be hard and her brain might be screwed up, but at least Lucy will always be there. Right?
A Court of Fey and Flowers
"Fate" is a funny thing, isn't it? - Captain K. P. Hob/Delloso de la Rue, post episode 2, yearning, abusive thoughts, 2.4k words
Rue and Hob get "randomly" paired up for a stroll through the gardens. Yearning ensues.
Cause even if you love me, what would the people think - Captain K. P. Hob/Delloso de la Rue, autistic Hob, protective Wuvvy, 938 words
Hob talks to Wuvvy because he just has to know.

Favourite BGM tracks in LHL
because i love this OST to death. it's a gift among cdrama osts. all links go to YT
Category: "Character" Themes
世上再無李相夷 | Never A Li Xiangyi Again In The World
少俠方多病 | Young Hero Fang Duobing
笛盟主 | Director Di
(i use the term "character theme" loosely, since, interestingly, "Director Di" often plays during Jiao Liqiao scenes -- uwu make of it what you will -- and there are other tracks with character names in them)
Category: Epic/Battle Themes
鏖戰 | Fierce Battle (plays, among others, during part of the donghai battle, as well as in ep18 during dfs vs sigu sect masters)
破阵 | Break The Formation (unofficial Li Xiangyi theme imo because it plays a lot when he has to act as LXY. notably plays during that scene in ep27 ;_;)
相夷太劍 | XiangYi Swordplay (notably, plays for a large part of the donghai duel)
白刃 | White Blade Edge (when a certain character stirs trouble)
Category: Spy Galore
婆娑步 | Swirling Steps (plays a lot during detectiv-ing moments, and is also the episode cutter theme)
Category: Nostalgic and Sentimental
紅綢慢 | Slow Red Silk (notably, plays during the ep 19 conversation between qiao wanmian and li lianhua in the sigu sect courtyard. this track kills me TT)
人世太匆忙变奏 | The World Is Too Hasty Instrumental Vers. (plays, notably, when he xiaohui tells the story of he xiaolan)
守護 | To Protect (notably, plays when fdb mourns what he had with li lianhua on the roof, in ep 28)
山外变奏 | Beyond The Mountains - Instrumental Vers (notably, plays during ep 19 "i didn't underestimate you" fanghua scene, ep 38 wedding wine scene, and ep 15 fanghua rooftop drinking scene)
诉说 | Recountings (plays when fdb watches the moon, alone this time)
一壶莲花醉变奏 | Drunk On A Pot of Lotus Wine - Instrumental Vers.
Category: Mysterious and/or Ominous
玉城诡案 | Thrilling Case of Jade City (i love the mix of gothic with traditional chinese instruments/gufeng)
扑朔迷离 | Bewildering (notably, plays in ep 1 during the night opening of the coffin uwu. slaps best with earphones)
魔音缭绕 | Lingering Mystical Sounds (di feisheng waking up after 10 years, among others)
Category: Jiang Hu Spirit
山外游志 | Beyond The Mountains, Travel Notes Vers. (notably, plays during the sigu sect revival scene aka "i was in line waiting for wontons")
念破人世太匆忙 | The Word Is Too Hasty (Electric Guitar Vers)
Category: Shenanigans
房車日常 | Daily Life In The Caravan (Ep1 Li Lianhua's first scene anyone?)
中二症 | Chuunibyou (plays often in daily caravan scenes)
蒙面 | Masked (notably, dfs eats very fast, ep 8)
Just making this compilation had me amazed again at the huge breadth in variety of this OST, and how each track stands alone as a beautiful track regardless of the show, but, placed within it, also makes the story so much more alive <33333
