Hello welcome my ADHD themed gameshow, "So you were holding it literally moments ago but now it's gone" the where YOU look for whatever you were just holding while going increasingly mad
My eldest wants to watch episode 2 of CQL, but I'm not reading it to him. He's not a fast reader yet, so we've turned it to half speed and it's hilarious.
Time to rewatch The Untamed! Episode 1: Opening is very cheesy. I love cheese so much. I love the scene after the storyteller, where the guy with the flag is walking through the town and the wind blows the flag against the doors. And then here is chaos gremlin. I think it is interesting in this translation he is said to say "Break their arm" instead of cut it off. Also, Jingyi's face is permanently disgusted/sneering. How did he get away with that resting sneer face in the Lan clan? But the best two things are "Peanuts tasted better thirteen years ago." and "Why does this alcohol taste like water?" Because first: How does WWX know how long it has been exactly? Second: Of course, it tastes like water, he took it from a Lan clan member's table. Silly man.
This case fic is the hardest to write because I know I should have an idea of where it is going. It makes logical sense to have an end point and work backward to the fill in how the plot makes that happen. But that isn't the way writing works for me.
I started this case fic because I had an image in my mind. A terrible, weird, horrific image. And that is what the story leads with. And now I am like, okay, but who is behind it? Where does one start? How do I write this?
I am just as clueless as the characters and I want to do justice to this story, but I don't know if I will. It is a lot of emotions for a fic that started with: Someone is killing people who look like Wei Wuxian....
