What stresses you about writing?
Yes. That's it, it's everything lmfao. But like /gen? I haven't written in a long time and I feel like I've gone rusty, also I'm unable to arrange my thoughts, but worst of all I feel like I've gotten too into angst(?), like happy goes in sad comes out which disappoints me to see in my work. I'm hoping to change that but I also worry if not penning those works anywhere would make things overall worse.
Thanks for the ask and sorry about the sudden dump of all you wanted was like a short answer on a certain part like the summary or wrapping up an ending lol
hello eli! <3
i hope you're having a wonderful day!! do you have any feiqiu thoughts you want to share? <3
I am a sucker for hurt comfort so my current thoughts about them are just circling around the thought of Jiaoqiu rushing to the bedside of General Feixiao and spending hours in a kitchen after that making medicine after medicine to treat her becuz he knows she'll want to go back to the front lines and he won't be able to stop her so might as well make sure she's strong enough to come back.
Him pressing his ear to her chest to make sure her heart beat is stable, his ears down turned the entire time as he feeds her medicine and holds her hand through the delirium. Towards the end of their time, he takes time to read her reports to her and let her bounce her plans off him while he helps her put back her armour on the day she's leaving back for war.
Imagine him tightening her gauntlets and then bringing her iron clad claws to his lips. Neither say a word, they're still just General and Advisor/her personal medic, "For good luck General, please return safe." And she bows politely and leaves with her weapons... (And maybe when she comes back she returns the kiss asking him to stay by her side...)
I'm really happy, I'm glad you liked the message. Well, I'm going to start asking something that might be invasive for some people, so I'm sorry, but feel free to answer however you want. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my free time I like to play games, read books (mainly mangas and manhwas), watch tv shows, movies and anime and listen to music.
Music is big for me, I'm not the most musically literate person so I can't tell genres and stuff but I love any and everything especially old love songs, videogames is smth I've picked up in recent years and books are smth I've been looking to get back into again. I also like to draw and paint but it's not smth post worthy or smth I feel comfortable pursuing when there is a possibility of my family peaking lol. I do love thread work tho!! Love knitting and embroidery and I'm currently dying to pick up crochet!!
i saw a theory that shuhu might be the one inside luocha's coffin and felt the world shift a little, do you have any thoughts on it? the only thing that feels off from that is i dont think jingliu would go near him if she knew but otherwise there were a lot of good hints like shuhu having a tree like form and the vines that we know come from luocha's coffin....
OH THIS IS CRAZY Shuhu being present within the coffin, seemingly controlled or working alongside Luocha to an extent and remaining so silent and dormant the entire time... I can see it low-key. Iirc they also have the ability to cause hallucinations/illusions and that would explain how he's sneaked the entire coffin in and why he keeps it near him at all times.
Jingliu is only working together with him to kill Yaoshi but it being Shuhu that aids in it, especially becuz they are their emanator seems unlikely. Maybe like how it was mentioned after the battle that it was unknown whether they were killed by Baiheng's self destructive charge and that for as massive their form was only a part of it may/may not be present in the shackling prison, there is a part of Shuhu that is being used, a part from which Luocha draws it's power and also uses to track down the position of Yaoshi in the universe (doing what no Elixir seeker has done). So like it might be Shuhu but also not.
(All the boxes Shuhu are in are like Schrodinger's box basically)
Hey how are you? I don't know if it's day, afternoon or night where you live, regardless of the time, I hope you have a great day. I am writing this because I believe it is important to care about the well-being of others.
Anon this is the sweetest thing ever🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much for the kind message. I hope you are doing wonderful as well and keeping in my mind your own well-being as much as others because it is truly precious to have and know someone as kind as you
hello eli!! <3
what do you think of kevin kaslana's writing and the moon arc? and also do you have a favorite flame-chaser?
AHHH I LOVE KEVIN'S WRITING the amount of pain especially in that one scene before Prometheus slaps him always kills me, getting to fight him as Kiana in his regular human form and then the cutscene with MEI and the Flamechaser's heard in the back makes me WEEP they did so well with him I was shocked that they were able to make a villain similar to Otto (in terms of not making him pitiful or too sympathetic but giving us an understanding of them and their goals)
As for my favourite FC, Eden is always my no. 1!! I loved from the moment I laid eyes on her and realizing that she decided to die in that era and the way she spoke about her era ending that day on the stage she stood made me love her more, I also love Pardo, SU and Kosma (and of course Elysia, Fu Hua and Kevin) but Eden always meant the most to me
i miss jing yuan :((( can we hit him with a frying pan?
Yes I need to bonk him over the head and put him to sleep permanently<3
hua here! (wanted to be the first person to ask a question :3 )
how do u feel about sunday & blade possibly going on missions together- that is, if the SH sunday speculations are true hehe)
OMG HI HUA!!! YESS I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM, he feels similar to an extent with Kafka with his power granted by Xipe.
His demeanor is much more calmer and his preference for violence low, with most if not all possible work to be done so via manipulation.
While Kafka and Samfly have a direct and violent approach which is beneficial for Blade who has no qualms about combat and it's consequences, him working with Sunday would be SO INTERESTING.
Sunday would not hesitate to use Blade's disposable and reusable nature against whatever the script demands, but his preference for peaceful missions might actually benefit Blade to the point he actively seeks danger.
Also with reference to all Sunday's religious imagery isn't it fun to think of Sunday being the one to offer a sacrifice via Blade for every mission? (Sunday always had himself on the line in achieving his paradise and goal, he was the greatest sacrificial lamb, yet now here he is letting Blade get killed or killing him to create stepping stones to fulfill a script that will lead him to paradise)
I just love to think of how of all the people Sunday might actually prefer the company of Blade the most with his simple dream of an end and his own of a paradise
