At our old house there was no place for my computer so I set up an office in a large closet. (It did have a window.) Even though I have more space now, I kind of miss my little fully enclosed monastic cell. It was just me and my personal holy symbols (Wangxian figurines) close at hand.

You might want to check the stove Xie Lian....

Xie Lian and Hua Cheng (san lang form) are interrupted while making out. someone outside knocks on the door and shouts: "daozhang! are you there!? there's smoke coming from the temple!!" There's some smoke behind them. Xie Lian, surprised, is looking towards the direction of the scream, while pinning HC agains a surface. HC is looking at XL in a daze but mildly annoyed while wraping his legs around him.

Summary: What horrible thing could come from writing to Qin Su that would make him feel worse than he does now? Does he expect her to announce to the cultivation world that he was entirely taken in by A'Yao—Jin Guang—Meng Yao's lies? The entire cultivation world already knows that. There was an impromptu conference when all of Meng Yao's crimes (his many, many horrible crimes, crimes Lan Xichen didn't think possible for him to commit) came to light in front of the entire assembled gentry. (Well, the gentry except for him, given that Meng Yao had him held prisoner at the time.)

Or: Lan Xichen takes some good advice. It goes better than he ever expected.

Notes: This is for Kit Stubbs, whose username in Fandom Trumps Hate this year was "Kit_would_love_a_sequel_to_It_Seems_the_Hills_and_Rivers_Have_Been_Waiting." I had my marching orders, so here's the start of the Lan Xichen/Qin Su sidestory/sequel you asked for! Thanks for supporting democracy, Kit!

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

I was at a party where someone was telling a story about a friend who kept dating "tall white douchebags" and due to not hearing clearly I thought this person was a lesbian. And now I'm just thinking what kind of woman is a tall white douchebag and what a perfect character flaw it is to be into them

Hualian confession scene feat. Given

All following pages are based on chapter 14 of the given manga: 1. Xie lian hugs Hua cheng from behind 2. A giant "it's love" text surfaces from behind mt. tonglu in eruption. 3. A giant "It's mutual love" crashes into mountains in the back. HC has a shocked open-mouth expression as XL keeps hugging him.

1. HC is spacing out while XL asks: "San Lang?". Text in narrator box says: "At a glance, crimson rain sought flower looks calm like the surface of a placid lake. But in reality, he's gotten all worked up inside. "
2,3,4 and 5. a bunch of inner hua chengs are gathered in a party (text says HC send-off party). Main HC is 'virgin me' and is sobbing, San Lang: "all my hard work paid off", honghong'er is 'emotional me' and is also crying, anxious soldier HC: "this brash fool is acting on his own trying to graduate from something!" then he grabs main HC: "HOW DARE YOU GO FREELY LIKE THIS!? THIS IS HIS HIGHNESS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. QUIT GETTING AHEAD OF YOURSELF!". Everyone fights in the back while 'Cool me' (mt. tonglu HC) says: "sit down everyone, he has something to say". Wu ming is "calm me": AHEM.

1. Wu ming in front of a screen: "Gentlemen, take a look. Here's a recording of mere moments ago. There's something important his highness missed." The video shows Xie lian, Mu qing and feng xin in the cave of 1000 gods. FX: "this is so creepy..." MQ: "They are all you... He's been following you this whole time". 2 They drag XL away. FX: "HOLY FUCK, DON'T LOOK!" XL: "Why not? what are you doing!?
i wasn't done looking at the murals!" MQ: "there's nothing worth seeing. Let's get out of here as soon as possible!"
3. Wu ming looks at the other hua chengs who are speechless. WM: "... please... proceed with caution."

I'm in such a weird phase of learning the cello right now. Shifting is like... either my brain gets it or my fingers get it, but not both at once (and sometimes neither). Sometimes my fingers play stuff without conscious thought. Sometimes I can't do ANYTHING. And as for the metronome..that fucker..
