So I Thought This Was Commonly Known Internet Navigation (but Apparently It Might Just Be Those Of Us

I thought of many ways to celebrate the fact that, as of last October, I've been doing cosplay for 10 years. After finally having the chance of watching "Mononoke: Phantom in the Rain," it became clear to me that Kusuriuri, my most beloved cosplay, was the correct choice. Although I made him three years into my cosplay journey, he somehow summarises everything I love about this hobby.

I intend to make the new Kusuriuri for next year. It'll be lovely to have them together.

🚨⚠️ATTENTION FELLOW WRITERS⚠️🚨

If you use Google Docs for your writing, I highly encourage you to download your work, delete it from Google Docs, and transfer it to a different program/site, unless you want AI to start leeching off your hard work!!!

I personally have switched to Libre Office, but there are many different options. I recommend checking out r/degoogle for options.

Please reblog to spread the word!!

Here's a reimagining I wrote of the scene in book 4 where Xie Lian gets drunk at the graveyard. Mind the tags, please.

Summary:

Didi (弟弟): Younger brother.

Drunk for the first time in his life, Xie Lian accidentally falls in an open burial pit and finds that he’s not alone.

Canon divergence from chapter 185 of the original/unrevised serialized edition.

• Chapter 6: A new journey (epilogue)

This fic is complete!

It's time for another Hualian modern meet-cute! Witness the blooming of the most convoluted (kinda?) parasocial relationship, featuring: -Air traffic mayhem -Mistaken clothes -Only one bed -Videoblogging -A gay wedding -Explosives?

Summary: Hua Cheng’s flight gets off to a bad start when the airline arbitrarily gives half of his first class couple’s pod to a stranger. To add insult to injury, he arrives back to his seat only to find that the intruder has mistaken Hua Cheng’s jumper with the plane’s pyjamas! Before he can kick up a fuss, though, something in this man’s face strikes him as familiar…

Wait a second, isn’t this the super cute guy from the last video that Hua Cheng watched while at the lounge before the flight?

• Chapter 1: Take off

Xie Lian knows the sound of a well-oiled machine when he hears one. And the pleasant rumbling that tickles his eardrums must be from one stopped right outside. Which is odd. Only because Xie Lian usually repairs broken machines. It’s incredibly rare for an already fine-tuned engine to seek him out for help. And even if so, they are always accompanied by another that requires attention. This machine isn’t here for a repair. It isn’t here for him. Xie Lian isn’t that lucky.

My piece for @tgcf-reverse-big-bang 2024! All the love for my partner @princessofxianle, who wrote the fic "Welcome to the Gu Ring" based on it. It was amazing to exchange ideas and see this little universe expand!

It's been 83 years, but I finally updated my TGCF metal music AU. Come read about the adventures and misadventures of Hua Cheng living his own Y/N beach episode with Xie Lian at the Shi family's vacation villa!

ABCDMXTX - Day 18: Ruoye.

From all spiritual devices, Ruoye is the one that feels the most like an extension of its owner. In a way, it's Xie Lian main and last line of defense.

I used this photo reference.

List of prompts.

Hold on. HOLD THE FUCK ON.

Babymetal does it again with the matches made in Heaven. Bloodywood is so incredibly cool; how HYPE is this collab, damn, what a massive win for Asian metal! And this animation?! Did you guys see Babymetal's celestial fox spirit?! Jayant Bhadula having badass saiyan powers?!?! I'm over the moon.

Bekhauf (बेखौफ) means Fearless. Perfect title, perfect everything!

The fact that there's an actually functional website for the library of Babel is one of those things that fucks me up more and more the more I think about the implications.
