Hi, welcome to your first day at [X]! A schedule you say? Well, we try not to make one, becuase it'll always end up overturned.

Management? Sure they exist, but maybe you shouldn't spend too much time with them lest you become collatoral damage and/or they remember your name and you get caught up in the Plot.

Our retirement plan IS very generous, you're right. What's that? How many people have retired and been able to claim it?

...hahaha, what a good question. Let's continue the tour, here to our right is the cafeteria-

Hopefully everyone here gets well compensated for their work (Doubt(tm)).

Write-ins, propaganda, and images are welcome!

5 Lines Tag

I was tagged by @thebansacredbanned (about two months ago, but I didn't really have any active WIPs at the time). Now that I have one, I figured it would be a good time to return to this tag game!

rules: find five lines based on the prompts you are given, then change one of the prompts at the end!

A Line You Think is Hilarious

“My shifu’s birds haven’t been here for two decades. There shouldn’t be any droppings on this.” “I know.” “Baixiao Hall even pays attention to birds?” She grinned. “Only the important ones.”

A Sad Line

“There is no more Director of Sword,” she answered, patting the blade-torn fabric over his undead heart. “The eunuch, the sword he held, and the spirits that had been trapped in it are inseparable now.”

A Hopeful Line

“Jin Xian’s sacrifice will not be for nothing,” Jin Xuan whispered low, lips soft against his ear.

A Line About Food

With a frown, Jin Xuan set the ribs and plum wine on a table surely used for unspeakable things. “Where is Jin Yan?” “He’s spending some time with my other beasts.” She smiled darkly. “Otherwise he gets lonely.”

A Line About Love

“Jin Xuan,” Xiao Ruojin spoke deeply, taking his wounded hand in both of his, “what do you need from me?”

Jin Xuan vs. Jin Yan ⚔️

The Purple Potato Meeting 🍠: Details You May Have Missed

I love this scene immensely, and it’s so fun observing the reactions of all the eunuchs throughout it. Here’s a few moments I thought were interesting!

This gif is slowed down a bit, but Jin Yan’s face goes through at least three different emotions in as many seconds. I adore how he sneaks in a quick smile for Jin Xian before giving Jin Xuan a dramatic tantrum.

I’ll never get over the way Jin Wei whips his head away as soon as Jin Yan approaches Jin Xuan. Perhaps he’s seen things that he can’t unsee 😼

Jin Yan’s little finger twitch is adorable, and it’s incredibly interesting seeing him return to his full height after practically bending over at a 45-degree angle to grovel to Jin Xuan.

There’s something so sassy about the way Jin Yan says that he wouldn’t dare, and his exaggerated movements contrast wonderfully with the more subdued way the other eunuchs lower their heads.

A few more moments below:

Jin Wei going from glowering at Jin Yan to giving Jin Xuan his attention.

I love the way Jin Yan looks at Jin Xuan, and his smile is so soft.

Jin Wei’s quick glance at Jin Yan before putting his full focus on Jin Xuan. The possible relief of Jin Xian now that they’re leaving.
