A mxtx crossover event where all the red-black characters had to fight, I believe, would result in a very interesting rock paper scissors scenario.
Wei Wuxian, being the Ghost Whisperer, could probably beat, or at the very least subdue Hua Cheng. We know Hua Cheng is weak to Ghost Stuff a la the Mount Tonglu opening incident, and Wei Wuxian has dealt with extremely powerful spirits in the past.
That being said, I think Hua Cheng could take Luo Binghe in a fight. This guy bested 33 heavenly officials, his swordplay is unmatched, and Luo Binghe is very powerful but I imagine that power comes with the side effect of very little finesse. Additionally his protagonist halo probably wouldn’t save him here since he’s not the only protagonist.
However, Luo Binghe would totally destroy Wei Wuxian. With his itty bitty Mo Xuanyu core he doesn’t stand a chance. Tearing through an army of the undead is the exact sort of op bullshit Binghe excels at, so that option is out too.
That being said, if their love interests are also fighting, Xie Lian bodies those fools. I’m sorry but even though Lan Wanji is excellent and SQQ is a peak lord, they do not stand a chance. Xie Lian’s favorite trick for 800 years was to break boulders on his chest while he had no access to any spiritual energy. Dude folded the heavenly emperor like a lawn chair. No contest.
Hair texture comparison!
Wei Wuxian vs Mo Xuanyu
Tired of William being made arbitrarily smaller that Sherlock for no reason whatsoever based on nothing in canon whatsoever and in fact in direct violation of it.
Gimme the meet cute where they're fighting over the last shirt that fits both of them in Target.
"This is the last shirt with long enough sleeves that doesn't bill out ten inches on either side!"
"I ruined my last shirt with a chemical experiment!"
"Well, I ruined mine by falling asleep into my dinner and getting red wine all over it."
"Listen I know so much about chemicals that will get blood and wine and shit out of clothes I will fix your shirt please just give me this one."
Or like.
Their tailor got their orders mixed up because for some baffling reason they had the same measurements for everything, so William walks home with a dry cleaning bag full of distressed jeans and hoodies and has to wear that for a week now while Sherlock loses his shit debating if wearing John's too-small trousers is still better than this fancy suit that fits perfectly but it still a suit, and then William gets it back with a mysterious stain.
There's just so much ignored potential.
Mori is not a child predator nor is he an intentional abuser; narratively, he's the representation of the way Ability users are dehumanized and the justification behind it. He prioritizes the 'optimal solution'; that means that Ability users, capable of so much more than the average person, must be pushed to their brink for the good of everyone else. Mori was not lying when he told Yosano that, ordinarily, he would never be able to resist the request of a little girl; as seen in Beast, he does seem to genuinely care for children specifically. The issue, however, is that he did not see Yosano as a child due to her Ability; she could not be a person, but an instrument of a greater good. This is the same way he treats Dazai, Chuuya, and arguably himself; as Ability users they must be organs of a greater good instead of people, not afforded the same right to childhood and protection or desires.
Xie Lian who for 800 years, buys a white flower on the anniversary of Wuming’s “death” to honor his lost ghost’s sacrifice. When he gets free of the coffin he buys an entire bouquet to make up for missing so many years. He barely remembers his own birthday after all this time, but this one action of remembrance is so ingrained in him he’ll never forget it.
only after having met you did I rediscover that it's such a simple thing to be happy cleaned up and recolor of this old sketch i had hehe
During a recent nationwide air attack on Ukraine, a husband and father in Lviv suffered an unimaginable loss – his wife and three daughters were killed in a missile strike that destroyed their home. In an instant, his entire family was taken from him, leaving him to endure grief beyond words. Images of this tragedy flooded social media, serving as a heartbreaking reminder of the devastating human toll Russia’s war continues to inflict on innocent civilians. While the blame for such horrific losses is quickly placed on Putin, these victims were not killed by him alone. The missile that struck their home was not designed and built by Putin. The fighter jet that delivered it was not fueled, maintained, or piloted by him. Putin did not prepare the meals for the military and support personnel. The uniforms they wore were not sewn by Putin. Behind every strike and offensive operation is a vast network of Russian civilians and military personnel. This network includes countless individuals involved in every aspect of Russia’s so-called “special military operation,” from complex missile launches to basic administration. These tasks are carried out by average Russians working in various sectors – military, energy, manufacturing, food and agriculture, transportation, telecommunications, media. Each industry is critical to sustaining a war of this scale, and each employs millions of Russians. These workers may not hold positions of power or directly participate in combat, yet they are essential to maintaining Russia’s military efforts against Ukraine.
