So, I posted my first fork-in-the-road CQL fic:

sometimes amputation is needed to save a life

"Ever since he was a child, A-Ning always wanted to be like his jie. He later learned he’d never be like his jie but that’s alright. A good healer knows that to allow healing, sometimes you need to cut the rot off."

AKA

BAMF WN decides to poison the wen occupying Lotus Pier instead of just drugging them.

#mdzs I tend write novel setting, but I have written one that is #cql #untamed based - #SongXiao - canon divergent from before the series begins though

New Horizons
Summary: The decision to help a small village threatened by a vicious yaoguai brings with it danger and upsetting news that Xiao Xingchen never expected to receive. With the news comes a choice, one that will change the course of both Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan’s lives in ways that neither of them expect

I still think Lan Qiren was extremely right about shutting Wei Wuxian down about resentful energy being used for cultivation, tbh. I think it might come out more in the book how extremely dangerous that actually is? (I still haven't read that...)

But also, that very much makes me want to know if Lan Qiren had any idea what was going on over in Qinghe... #cql #TheUntamed

This fic was really good! https://archiveofourown.org/works/49650556 Angsty Nie Huaisang/Jin Guangyao not-technically-knifeplay and fisting. And they're both trans!

Another #WeHelpUs #fic is up!

Bigger than the whole sky
T-rated, 2500 words
#CQL everyone lives (with knives) AU, Iwj pov

In which it all works out okay, in the grand scheme of things, and everyone is still somewhat miserable.

I think you guys should really take a look at my Jin Rusong fix-it fic

It has:
🪷 6 different PoVs
🪷 #JiangCheng as a father figure
🪷 Jin Ling actually having friends
🪷 more depressing reflections on the past than I planned
🪷 the next generation learning from the mistakes of the last

In January this year, I decided to start keeping tabs on how much fic I read in a month. I don't think I have shared those posts and/or numbers here, so here goes:

August fic reading stats: approx total of 752K words. (Not as good as July's 1mil 19K but still a good number.)

I also posted some of last month's most interesting/ compelling/ fun/ painful/ enjoyable works I read:

I'm now 5,7K in on my rewatch-induced fork-on-the-road fix-it in which Baoshan Sanren is alive and she’s a total chaos gremlin who doesn’t give a flying fuck about the gentry.

I've written 4K of this today and I'm having so much fucking fun.

#cql #TheUntamed #BaoshanSanren #writing #fanfic

Finished my #CQL / #TheUntamed rewatch and now I have 28K (aka 58 pages) of episode notes and six (6) pages possible fork-on-the-road fix it points written down.

What's next? Should I be #writing? Or watching the special edition? or reading?

(I'm watching the special edition, yeah.)

#fandom

I'm rewatching #CQL / #theuntamed and currently in ep 47 and I started to wonder just how much funnier it would've been if Fairy the spiritual dog didn't bark but yodled (or just straight-out screamed) like a proper husky?

Jin Ling: Fairy, stop! Shut up! Are you trying to wake everyone? Why did you bring me here?

Fairy, facing the Guanyin temple doors: EEEEEUUUUUAAAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH

Here’s a good photo of He Ping I hadn’t seen before (from this #CQL rewatch: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37197850). Always impressed he managed to make Wen Chao so slimy and unappealing!

I got to the bit where Jingyi explains Jiang Cheng's own spiritual weapon to him! :D I love him. #CQL #TheUntamed

I just rewatched episode 1 of #CQL #TheUntamed. Ahh, I forgot how much I loved this show. :') #Wangxian are so smitten for each other.

Rewatching #cql and feeling a bit sad that we didn't get a proper bridal carry in ep 34 (when LWJ carried WWX in his back from the bridge) because apparently #WangYibo couldn't quite manage it.

We were robbed!

#wangxian #theuntamed

I'm rewatching #cql and at ep 32 I had to stop and breathe for a moment while staring at the wall because #JiangCheng did NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH DURING THE OATH.

He never pledged to kill #WeiWuxian.

(in other words, #theuntamed keeps living in my head rent free)

Oh no, I was just reminded of the #CQL Special Edition scene where Xue Yang looks at Xiao Xingchen with absolute hearts in his eyes, and then suddenly remembered the Li Bai line:

而浮生若夢，為歡幾何？
The floating life is but as a dream; how much longer can we enjoy our happiness?

and if that isn't the coffin-home years in a line, what is?

#MDZS #xuexiao

One of these days, I'm going to treat crack seriously and send Sect Leader Yao back in time to fix everything.

It could either be a raging success or an utter catastrophe.

I also might need not to be sober for that.
