Double cloth pick up for class! It’s genuinely irritating how obnoxious this is to set up and weave because the result is SO pretty. I drafted this up for a different class last semester (which is also posted on my page) and I’m hoping to get at least two full dragons if not more.

Dragons in Chinese culture are forces of good.

Dragons in The Journey to the West are forces of good but also invite demons - such as the Bull Demon King - to their underwater parties.

Cang Qiong Mountain Sect is a very important place and the fact that their peak lords have a tradition of ascending as one means that they are effectively a baby-god-producing factory and thus the peak lords and their heirs would get invited to parties because of diplomacy.

Mobei-Jun genuinely thinks he has been courting Airplane for a long time.

What I'm saying is Airplane is damned lucky to have never gotten caught at a party when he - according to CQMS - wasn't supposed to be there.

These events can be happening simultaneously.

Or Airplane might accidentally be getting a reputation as party-exploders because it just. keeps. happening.

ALT

Mobei-Jun's just annoyed his beloved's acquaintences and family keep ruining their dates.

Of course, just because Yue Qingyuan, Shen Qingqiu, and Shang Qinghua come from the peaks most likely to go to parties diplomatically doesn't mean those are the only peak lords/peak heirs invited to parties...

(Strictly speaking Prince is Wangzi 王子, not just Wang 王 which is king, but Wang is - if I understand correctly - an acceptable term when you've got an emperor or ruling parent outranking you. Let me know if I've got that wrong, and my apologies if so.)m

Speaking of consequences, the Lord of An Ding Peak and Shizun to Shang Qinghua is having a time.

#consider: sqh being invited to the same party both by cqms and mbj and playing collateral <- prev tags

Excellent contribution!

ALT

Look, it's not Qingge's fault he got involved in this. He was just innocently hunting some demons who were causing havoc and followed one of them in. He didn't even know it was a party.

#Several generations of previous anding lords foaming at the mouth thinking of all the Good Trade they'll get when head disciple shang scores#Cheer us sqh maybe you can spin this to look non-traitorous#(meanwhile mbj was already planning the wedding) <- prev tags

ALT

The thing about Airplane when he runs into people he knows at parties he's supposedly not at/supposed to be at, is that he never makes things easier for himself:

Unrelatedly: the reblogs have made a necklace!

ALT

Hey, @many-eyed-monster , this inspired me. 😅

ALT

It's important to remember that while Airplane is an anxious coward, he's also a trolling millennial obnoxious piece of shite (affectionate).

ALT

For demons, beating each other up is flirting, so...

You know what I'm with that one other reblogger this should be a 500K crack fic on ao3. Right now. Stat.

on another note:

that sqh and sj mutually assured destruction is hilarious.

What prev said: #Circling back to the mutually assured destruction#Wouldn't it be funny then if sj started dragging sqh on his shady missions#Bc apparently sqh Always has an excuse to be there?#Need to infiltrate a cluster of demonic cultivators? They're actually trading partners for the sect and sqh needs to check on them#Unusual monster activity at a town? The mayor has invited sqh to his daughter's wedding bc he set up the caravan that let him pay her dowry#Middle of the southern demonic court?#Tlj is actually so delighted about sqh and mbj's relationship (and sqh's trail of chaos and bodies) that he personally invited him#Sqh managed to hold off news from reaching the sect by being cunning unrecognizable and making sad eyes arpunf mbj for a week#Truly sj would hate it so so much but he'd also Know it's a useful strategic advantage#Which makes him hate it more#Sqh on his end is increasingly stressed about all the attention#How can one fade into the bg while this chaos goes on!#Really he's lucky he's so good at taking care of things quietly or sj would have five times the amount of dirt he has on him

quick question...

When I was in undergrad I was working on my thesis as a photo student and every other Friday I would leave Chicago at 6pm after my internship and drive 7 hours to eastern Kentucky where I would shoot for the weekend. The last two hours of the drive were basically this.

The scariest part of this video is all the deer that are lurking on the side of the road waiting to run out in front of, or perhaps straight into, your car.

I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”

Headcanon: because his Radiancy is bad at math he never worked out the calculations for what timeline Zunidh was supposed to be on, he just did what Kip told him, and because it would never occur to Kip that HR was not perfectly punctilious in every way he just assumed that HR had worked out the math, and the miscommunication means that all of Zunidh just got dragged on to the Vangavaye-ve's timeline after the Fall, and everyone else assumes there's a reason that the two highest heads of state insisted the world get on Gorjo Mean Time, and the neighboring worlds, echoing a hub of relative stability, are gradually shifting to Zunidh's timeline and eventually nine worlds are going to sync their clocks to the Vangavaye-ve because Kip was homesick.
