More nan chan sketches

Unapologetically one of the funniest TCF scenes in the entire novel is that one time Cale passed out during the battle on the Molden Kingdom on that maze(and he was under an illusion spell) and when he woke up Raon was screaming how he'd kill all the enemies and destroying the maze's walls, everyone was going apeshit and than Choi Han just pulls up next to Cale after seeing him wake up and he was COVERED IN BLOOD and than it just kind of went:

Cale: *staring at the chaos* ....what the-

Cale: Why is Raon screaming that he'll kill everyone? And Choi Han are you covered in blood??

Choi Han: *looks down* .... I guess

Cale: How long was I out for!?

Cale: *thinking* look at all this destruction and chaos! I must have been out for like 30 minutes at least, hours maybe-

Choi Han: *looks down on his wrist that doesn't have a watch* Around 10 minutes give or take I guess

Cale: ...... wHAT-

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.

Cale: No

GoD: please Cale, I just need you to travel across worlds for a bit

Cale: I already said no you motherfucking bastard

GoD: You'll have a chance to see Choi Jung Soo

Cale: and be around two hyperactive individuals who could kill me any second, in your dreams

GoD: They said they have lots of money

Cale: ...

Cale: count me in you stupid bitch

Hebe Tells Ares What To Wear 😖

***Ares is home from battle, dressed in "barbarian" warrior attire, discussing Hebe's upcoming bday.***

Hebe: I hope you are planning to change your outfit before my celebration.

Ares: What is wrong with what I am wearing?

Hebe: (scrunches face) Trousers are informal attire.

Ares: But they grant me flexibility in combat. A long tunic is much too constricting.

Hebe: I can assure you there will be no fighting at my party. 

Ares: (heavy sigh) For shame.

Kishiar la Orr, still the prettiest descendant of the Sun God

aka comparing Kishiar to the Sun God Counter Part 2/?

“I've heard it said that there are men who read in books to convince themselves there is a God. I know not but man may so deform his works in the settlements, as to leave that which is so clear in the wilderness a matter of doubt among traders and priests.”

— James Fenimore Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans, 1826

“Bossy. I like it. But you know what I like more? Your posh little accent. Question. Does it sound the same when you say crude things?”

Plain text under the cut:

Ch 216: Real Revolutionary, II: "Still, you should leave a mark." “Does that make sense?" "There is no apparent meaning." "Then?" "It is just important that you left it." "The other party won't know so why?" "At least the wall has changed." I was speechless for a moment. Jang Hayoung spoke in a resolute voice. "Then one day, someone might read it.”

Ch 492: Omniscient Author's Viewpoint, VI: Han Sooyoung stood up straight in front of Kim Dokja. Quite unlike her usual self, she thought she might start crying now. Her vision blurred and couldn't see his face properly. "You did well.”

Wu Xi, hugging JBY from the back: I love you

Jing Beiyuan, smiling affectionately: I love you too

Wen Kexing, kissing ZZS in his forehead: love you, A-Xu

Zhou Zhisu, kissing his husband back: ... I love you too

Helian Yi, almost crying: could somebody please love me? at least like, for not political reasons?

I haven't been able to get this out of my head

“Give me a daughter with your stubborn heart, or your even temper. Give our children your dark-bright eyes, or your enchanted smile. So that even when we are gone, the world will find within them all of the reasons why I loved you”

- Nizar Qabbani

when it comes to people who acknowledge and love all sides of jiang xuening, shen zhiyi cannot be forgotten.

yes, dianxia does have a bit of a lovesick filter on when it comes to her beloved ningning, but she also knows who jiang xuening is as a person. she isn’t so blind as to casually miss her fierce temper, ignore her schemes and manipulation, and disregard her poor choices— you can see it in shen zhiyi’s expressions and tone, the concerns she voices, and particularly through her perspective in the novel— but these things could never make her love jiang xuening any less.

shen zhiyi isn’t oblivious. she knows that jiang xuening uses her at times to get what she wants, but what’s important is that she doesn’t care. she never has and she never will, because everything she does is her choice. she only wants jiang xuening to know that she doesn’t have to do anything at all to get her support, because she will always be there by her side, without any conditions attached.

there is no doubt that jiang xuening is the person she trusts most in the world. even if jiang xuening makes a decision she doesn’t particularly agree with, she will still never raise any complaint to her. shen zhiyi trusts that jiang xuening’s judgment and choices are right for herself, even if they’re not right to her, and it’s as simple as that. if there are any consequences, she will be there to resolve them. jiang xuening couldn’t lose her if she tried.

shen zhiyi and xie wei are the only two characters in kunning who see past all of jiang xuening’s sides, good and bad, and still recognize her true heart. the way they love her is different but also the same; if shen zhiyi is her shield, then xie wei is her sword.

and jiang xuening chooses them both.

No matter how far I run or how well I hide, he’ll flip the world upside down just to find me.
