Han Xiangjian's outfits in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace  如懿传

asked by: anonymous

New member on QSMP, you say? I think it is time to meet Bagi!

You might remember me from the slides about the BRs post, so it's only fitting I introduce our newest member the same way!

is this ooc for kya and hakoda? yes but HEAR ME OUT neglected sokka

sokka seeing katara waterbend for the first time. sokka dragging katara back into their igloo like "mum! dad! look at this look at this!!!" and being so excited because his little sister is a waterbender, that's so cool, and his parents are making a really big deal about it and hurrying katara out to see the elders and sokkas falling a little bit behind but that's ok, because katara's a waterbender and they need to tell the elders

and so they host this celebration - nothing big because they may still get traders but they don't want this to go out to the fire nation - and hakoda and kya are doting over katara and making sure she's had enough to eat and everything and sokka... feels a little weird. he knows its kataras special day but he just feels a little lonely, but when he goes up to his parents they tell him they're busy, so he tells himself that he'll talk to them tomorrow.

but then the next day, his dad is in meetings all day - that are about katara, he gleans from gilak and bato, who look a little confused as to why sokka's alone - and when he goes to find his mum, she's with katara and she's watching her shakily try to bend on command, instead of by accident. so he goes up to her to say hi but she tells him that she's busy and not to distract her. sokka frowns because it doesn't look like she's doing anything and can't he say hi? but then katara loses concentration to say hi to sokka, and though his mum smiles at katara, she doesn't spare another glance at sokka.

which. is fine. he thinks. obviously life is different now that his little sister is a waterbender and he had sooo many adults tell him as such when their village celebrated it, so... it's fine. maybe it's just because his parents look a little worried, he thinks, as they sit down to eat before bed. they do look worried.

and then katara says that she's tired, and his parents wish her good night and their mum goes to tell her a bedtime story and it's exactly as it should be. except that sokkas still eating and they usually wait til both of them are in their cots before the story happens. so he tells her to wait while he quickly shovels his food into his mouth, and he thinks it's fine but then once he's eaten and moving towards his cot, he hears the end of the story

he pouts, saying that he wanted to hear it too, but his mum tells him not now, sokka. she sounds tired. he doesn't care, he wanted to hear it too. she sounds a little angry when she tells him to be quiet, because kataras sleeping, but he doesn't care, he wanted to hear the story and why didn't she wait? it's his dad that scolds him this time, telling him that katara needs her rest. sokka goes to say that he was only a few extra minutes, but he's shut down. his parents tell him that they won't be speaking to him when he's being so rude, and sokka doesn't understand but hes too tired so he cries in his cot before falling asleep.

the next morning, his dad isn't there and neither are katara and his mum. and he learns. he learns through his parents ignoring him when he asks a question and scolding him when he wants something that he's selfish. what else could he be, trying to put himself above his sister, who could be targeted by the fire nation (which he didn't originally know, he finds that out when his dad yells at him one day and, oh ok maybe he is being a bit selfish) and katara needs her parents more anyway because shes the only waterbender, she needs guidance in connecting to her culture and her history. he wonders whether it's technically his history too, but he doesn't ask. he stopped asking a while ago, stopped talking a while ago.

he thinks he hates katara a little. bato tilts his head and asks him why, when he tentatively tells him after the man prods and prods because "I haven't heard you speak for ages kid, you ok?", and sokka doesn't have an answer for him because he doesn't know why he hates katara but he doesn't want to hate her, it's just that his parents like her more cause she's a waterbender. bato tells him thats silly, of course his parents like him, and he ducks his head and mumbles an apology and doesn't notice the way bato frowns and glances over to gilak, who sports an equally worried frown.

the next day his dad takes him fishing. he's so excited but he's nervous too, he doesn't want to upset his dad and his dad is already looking at him weirdly that morning so he answers the questions his dad awkwardly pushes towards him and doesn't ask for help even when he can't get the bait on his hook, and eventually his dad takes the rod from him and does it for him, and he apologises but his dad looks at him weirdly again and so he doesn't speak again on the trip. but... it's nice. his dad claps him on the back everytime he catches a fish and he proudly displays his three fish to him at the end and gets a laugh for his efforts. so. it's nice.

the following week, there's a raid on their tribe. sokka runs towards their igloo, having lost katara in all the chaos. he pulls to a stop by the entrance, hearing his mum talking to some guy about the waterbender and... what is she doing?

he freezes. the man stomps out of their home, sees sokka and throws him aside. sokka doesn't feel the bruises til the next day, and when he does he doesn't care.

there's no point. he's got to take care of katara. that's his job now

Last Sentence Tag Game

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence

I was tagged by my ever delightful meme buddy @theawkwardterrier! I have been in a bit of writing slump recently so other than the few prompts I've done I'm honestly not sure which is the last WIP I worked on ... but I did do a little bit of noodling on my Steggy fake dating fic not too long ago, and this was the last sentence I wrote for that:

Despite his burning curiosity, he has enough self control not to ask about the revelation of the boyfriend that she lived with at least until they’re back in their apartment.

I am certainly not tagging 29 people, lol, but I will tag @scabopolis, @minim236 and @wheremermaidsdwell if they want to play!

The redoodle of Smallfoot/Frozen AU, with Migo as Elsa and Alli as Anna.

The plot remains the same, but with Meechee added into the mix. Also joining in will be Cody, another one of my OCs and Alli's future love interest, and the S.E.S. and Fleem playing Olaf. A few other OCs will be in this AU as well.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Stranger Things (TV 2016) Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Robin Buckley/Nancy Wheeler Characters: Robin Buckley, Nancy Wheeler Additional Tags: Christmas, First Kiss, Getting Together, Christmas Fluff, I should have posted this days ago but school got in the way, Snowed In, Nancy Wheeler Has a Crush on Robin Buckley, they deserve some peace and quiet, Robin Buckley Loves Nancy Wheeler, unedited, I'm sorry but I'm busy Summary:

The drive from Boston to Hawkins could be summed up in one word: long. Nancy felt like she had been driving for days, weeks even. The only thing making it semi bearable was that she wasn’t alone. Robin was sitting next to her talking a mile a minute like she often did. It was comforting.

“Nance? You should stop somewhere, get some rest for a bit,” Robin said. Her head was leaning against the head rest, turned toward Nancy.

“No, I’m fine. I want to get to Hawkins before morning.” Nancy wished she could have contained her yawn. Perhaps then Robin would have actually believed her.

OR

Nancy and Robin drive to Hawkins from Boston. When Robin forces them to stop at her dead grandparents' cabin, they get snowed in. The basic Christmas romcom with magical food appearing and a little bit of crying, but lots of comfort.

gonna try and do drawtober! gonna be following off this prompt list by @aaytaro-gt

so here’s day one, which was acorn! ft my two lil moth guys julian and felix + their naga friend cascade’s hand/arms

THIRTEENTH DOCTOR, GOODBYE

A teaser of things to come

Happy 810nicle Day!

I have to say I really don't like bttm yg lovers or ones who like both top/bttm yg because usually those types always end up leaning towards bttm yg anyway. They're attitude in general toward top yg is either apathetic or downright hateful where they accuse us for not understanding yg and his needs and that he's a "babygirl" and "pillow princess that wants to be taken care of and pampered" or "furry omega cat twink" that wants to "get railed by a big muscular tall older men" and jm is secretly "a dom top alpha behind the shy mochi mask". If anything they don't understand the boys or their personalities at all and it shows especially when they constantly make tweets about trying to prove yg is a babygirl and cutesy and jm is a dominant macho man. It shows insecurity and that they so desperately want them to be this way for their own sake and preferences and I fucking hate it! Because then they think it's okay to harass us and try to push more for the bttm yg/top jm agenda.

for clarity, this was sent to me a while ago when the topic was relevant.

i don't have much to object to bc unfortunately, as i've been forced to accept and confront, you're right. i don't say things like this lightly, but (relevant) bttm yg accs on twt seem like the worst type of Unhinged Top/Bottom Stan. which says a lot, they're all bad. but the bttm yg ones are really fucking bad, bc they use faux intellectualism to justify it and there's no accepted counterdialogue to their nonsense & rpf fanon.

they (the fans who participated in this, which were either enough in volume or obnoxiousness to warrant associating them with bttm yg overall) got away with murder, when anti-top yg (& bttm jm) fanwars choked out the massive top yg/bttm jm community in 2018 after a few years of escalating bullying & fighting. i thought i imagined it until 2020, and it took me until 2021 to start believing it. a blog i spoke to/follow ran some numbers once when we discussed it--i lost the graphs on my broken hdd, but something like 1/3-1/4 of yoonmin writers on ao3 stopped posting fics in 2018. it's unlikely those weren't top yoongi writers, as sope on ao3 had a similar drop at the same time.

but it's all old news at this point. given top yg fans still get widely ripped into & the people claiming false narratives about this continue unchallenged, though, i suppose it has to be discussed when brought up. even if i don't want to bc it's so tired and the rhetoric involved is so, so stupid.

13: Do you hate anyone at the moment? 19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance? 33: Do you have trust issues?

70 horrible questions

13: Do you hate anyone at the moment?

who sent you... I am actually upset w someone at the moment. They left me high and dry and I had to walk 6kms home. An hour and a half walk really gives you a lot of time to think about your friendship with a person LMAO

33: Do you have trust issues?

I dont think I do actually 😂 I am quiet gullible and notorious for giving people the benefit of the doubt. I believe people are capable of change and Im always hopeful of others. Maybe its naïve but I struggle with the concept that people can be intentionally malicious.

I have a healthy skepticism after a while, I think repeated offenses shouldn't be ignored and I will distance myself from people who constantly dont seem to have my best interest in mind but Im not really vindictive about it and I readily trust new people HAHA

Innocent until proven otherwise I guess!

19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?

I LITERALLY DID NOT REALIZE THESE WOULD BRING OUT SUCH HEAVY SHIT BUT UHH. CW: Death, abuse.

Theres one moment I've always wanted to do over, and its the last time I saw my childhood friend. We reconnected one night after years apart (a fight in highschool and graduation kinda tore us apart). A week later her boyfriend beat her into a coma and she died a few days after that 🥴

I always wondered if I hung out with her again before that and heard how abusive he was, if I coulda stopped that from happening/convinced her to leave.

I know its not that easy and I dont dwell on it heavily or anything, I mostly just try to live a full and happy life for her sake, but a person can't help but want to change such a heartbreaking event.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

So....Mickey is in the public domain.

There’s something so devastatingly beautiful about the friendship of Tommy, Carol, and Steve.

Listen, you should never film strangers in public without their consent, but I swear there need to be fines or something for people who do that shit in some spaces. For example: I had to go to the ER last night, and some jerk filmed a woman who just came in and was clearly having an asthma attack. She immediately got to go back, and he was unhappy about that. Believe me, I get that it sucks having to wait when you're in pain, but you don't get to pick who deserves care when. The medical system in the US is a nightmare, and the ER could be the worst moment of someone's life. No one deserves to be recorded because some jack ass believes someone doesn't look like they need care.

This is fine to reblog. People who film strangers should be shamed if nothing else.
