Sangcheng Week Day 5 - Collaboration

So yesterday my grandparents found a big box of old 78s that they’ve had in an attic for years, and wanted me to transfer them to CDs. Most were in pretty great shape, no cracks and few scratches. Lots of 1930s sweet/hot jazz, British big band & swing and a few Decca classical ones. This one had its label peeled/scratched off on the a side, on the reverse was a Parlophone march.

90% sure by playing it it’s unleashed some kind of 70 year old curse.

Strong Nie Huaisang is strong (and a delicate flower)

ah…the timeless taste of gay chicken

bonus:

somehow their different cross-media designs give off different vibes/ship dynamics to me, i just thought it'd be fun to draw it out lol

(also i love their mobile designs they're so pretty ;v;)

to wwx’s immense chagrin they’ve unfortunately Unionized™

(another messy chengsang meme comic since its been a few weeks)

Do NOT think about Zukka x Cardigan by Taylor Swift unless you want it to envelop your soul

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs

The smell of smoke would hang around this long

'Cause I knew everything when I was young

Them getting so close leading up to Sozin’s Comet and then growing apart again after because of their respective duties

Mutual long distance reminiscing and pining over what could have been if they had met as emissaries of their nations in a peaceful world.

Zuko helping with the reconstruction effort and finding boomerang, Sokka building a fire and only being able to remember the warmth and smell of Zukos bending

They were both so young, so young, too young for the world to have been placed on their shoulders. They knew it was their responsibility, even now, they uphold their duties with straight backs and faces. They know, they know, they know it could never work, I mean- they never even confessed to each other.

But not even the brutality of war can stop children from dreaming.

xie lian: mu qing, are you still undressed? you've been in your room for hours now.

mu qing: *breathless* I just... I just can't find any nice clothing... to wear.

xie lian: what do you mean? your closet has a lot of nice things.

*xie lian opens up the door to the closet*

xie lian: see? shirts, pants, hi fengxin, shoes...

me, pointing to directions for a lab: i can't read this!!! i'm illiterate!!!

my friend: didn't you finish a 500 page book in a day once?

me: my past does not define me.

Thinking about how children of Hades’ flaw is holding grudges because that’s where their power resides: the deceased, whose regrets and grudges from their past lives forever remain deep and strong.
