random headcannon that hua cheng detests rainy weather - light drizzles, mild rains, thunderstorms, all of it. he’s the type of person to appreciate the rain from inside, beside a crackling stove that has a simmering pot of dumpling soup over it. hua cheng has experienced being left out in thunderstorms as a kid and absolutely detests being drenched and cold with nowhere to take shelter.
also because when it rains he looks like a drenched cat and becomes a hundred times less menacing than the persona he’s built for himself.
the only way he enjoys rain the most is when he’s cuddled up to xie lian under layers of silken blankets in puqi shrine (hand-made by none other than himself) and wakes to cool winds whistling in the morning and swirls of cloudy skies.
but xie lian likes the rain.
its refreshing to walk through a thundering monsoon rainstorm, or a fleeting summer drizzle. and the best part of it all: he's not going to get sick, no matter how drenched he becomes.
so they compromise.
xie lian is more than happy to stroll in the rain and enjoy it through the patters of raindrops again hua cheng's umbrella. hua cheng, well. he'd gladly trudge through torrential rainfall if xie lian so much as breathed a word about it.
its during a light summer rain, with the sun high in the sky and a gentle zephyr ruffling the grass and trees around them that hua cheng decides to shut his umbrella.
the patter of rain against his face is uncomfortable at first, and xie lian is quick to suggest taking cover under a tree, hua cheng doesn't take him up on the offer. because as they meander through fields of wildflowers, pass by a merry stream, and navigate through a swarm of butterflies that flutter busily around the flowers, hua cheng realises the rain didn't seem as bone-chillingly cold as he remembered.
he's still not going to walk into a downpour of his own volition though. (and that's perfectly fine, because xie lian would also very much prefer having someone to cuddle with by the fire, wrapped in layers silky blankets and many cups of tea to nurse while enjoying the rains from inside puqi shrine.)
made by and bought from chipupuni!! the shopee listing for these heart charms is all sold out now, but theres still pre-orders happening for the next batch. absolutely adorable and filled my heart with SUCH JOY (as is obvious from my excited trembling in the video HAHA)
my mariluke bag is now extra extra perfect thanks to this ;w;
sue me but i just really don’t wanna see someone try to rectify that terrible cliche out of character love triangle again like. if they chose to cut that out all together (not cutting YUMI out all together, obviously, just the romantic implications) then they’d probably have my attention. but let’s be real that’s probably not gonna happen
I was thinking about doing another musou ship to attempt drawing something nice and wholesome but the moment I sat at my desk, I thought of terrible pick up lines said by characters and then landed into the warriors orochi ones and never looked back
There’s a party tonight that all my friends are going too, but I don’t have a costume and anyway I don’t really feel like being around a lot of people. Anyone got any ideas of how to spend a quiet solo Halloween night? I don’t really like super scary movies because I’m kind of a weenie. I just want to do something cozy and maybe meet a nice ghost, I don’t think that’s asking a lot. 😂
Me: oh rest! My body is so tired it cannot wait to unclench
My body the second it feels anything less than a PTSD inducing stress response that will remain with me the rest of life: seize up? Clench? Shake? Panic? Make the brain completely foggy and confused except for heartwrenching agony and sadness? Make flashbacks? CPTSD symptoms? Literal seizures triggered by distress?
