World Building Is Addictive And Forever The Bane Of Actually Completing An Original Story, Even One That

World building is addictive and forever the bane of actually completing an original story, even one that starts simple 😭.

I find myself making a correspondence table... AGAIN!

"To his eternal shock, Wei Wuxian watched Lan Wangji start to cry. He had seen him upset before, angry, even grief-stricken in the Xuanwu cave and on the clifftop at Nightless City, but these tears were not like that. They were slow and full, rolling like pearls down his cheeks."

textposts that remind me of the poppy war:

WangXian Thoughts of the Day:

Lan Wangji’s reassuring “I am here.” 

Chapter 50, after Wei WuXian has been injured, and Lan Wangji is carrying him to safety on his sword. Prior to this Wei WuXian and had warned Lan Wangji not to go with him or his reputation may be destroyed.

Chapter 63, Wei WuXian is asleep recovering from injury.

Chapter 101, Wei WuXian being terrified of Fairy.

I always felt that every time Lan Wangji said “I am here”, Wei WuXian fell a little more in love.

the flavors of gay thoughts and repression in wangxian are the most fun

LWJ: loud gay thoughts on the inside; enormity of my desire disgusts me; oh god he's hot oh no; repress repress repress; no one will know so long as I don't make eye contact with anyone ever again, especially xiongzhang; my purpose in life is to be pure and noble, not be gay do crime; peace and tranquility, meditation and silence, once familiar, now empty, but at least they remain; I will simply be absent of desire as far as anyone is concerned and it will be fine;

WWX: gay thoughts but for the meme, they are universally true thoughts, regardless of gender, ok, shidi; if I flirt with everyone, no one will know that one man gets the True Flirt, including myself; if I keep moving and talking and laughing then I can live head empty no thoughts as fate intended; when you think about it, like when you really consider, like I'm just saying; look at me look at me look at me, need it need it need it; did I mention it was for the meme because it seems you are taking it seriously; why are you tying that, you won't even listen, what will you do to me~~

Stray cat

here, eat

a dead mouse

laid at your feet

you didn't ask, but I hunted for you 

you looked hungry

I had time

between tissue protected fingertips

you pick it up to take it elsewhere

when you return I'm still here

you pat me on the head 

a muttered thanks

an attempt to hide the disgust on your face

an improvement from the ones before

that shoved my face in it

then threw me out

and you still look hungry
