to be honest I think working on a sewing machine strains my eyes as much as being on a computer does. However, I am incentivized to remain alert and focused by keeping my fingers within stabbing distance of a needle making 60 stitches per minutes.
Writing an essay about Howls Moving Castle rn so obviously I had to draw scarian as them
OBVIOUSLY
you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it
example: you absolute coat hanger
It's the (cute) daozhang's annual convention. (Cute) daozhangs ONLY.

guards! read me my bedtime yaoi
grabs your hand. you've had enough plot and exposition and character development lately im taking you to the beach episode
I love the comparison of Wei Wuxian giving Jiang Cheng his Golden Core and Xiao Xingchen giving Song Lan his eyes because it just proves that Wei Wuxian wasn't too far off the mark on how Baoshan Sanren would have solved his problem.
Like, she told Xiao Xingchen that she couldn't give Song Lan new eyes because she can't create something from nothing (or at least something similar iirc), so theoretically, she could have also done the Golden Core transfer as a solution.
I don't know how well her medical knowledge is compared to Wen Qing but it just goes to show that even a powerful immortal can't just create miracles. She is also limited to realistic solutions.
The way the surgeries mirror each other, even with the way the "recipient" (Song Lan and Jiang Cheng) react, is just very interesting to me. Both didn't ask for the surgery and Both get upset when they learn of it.
Despite never meeting Baoshan Sanren, Wei Wuxian somehow managed to imitate her solutions shockingly well and despite never meeting Xiao Xingchen managed to inspire him.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL
“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

Sometimes when xie lian leaves ghost city for more than, say, a few hours, hua cheng defaults to sculpting statues of him to deal with the pining and the yearning
Which results in xie lian coming home to like three to five more statues of him in Qiandeng temple
"San Lang i was gone for...a day?"
"Actually, it was 26 hours, 32 minutes and 6 seconds but regardless of that...I missed gege."
permit office: sending one of their own men to exile to cause chaos and unrest in an attempt to justify the existence of the permit office and the poepoe
cleo: riding a horse for 4 days straight on the nether roof to quit exile out of pure spite
doc and xisuma: traveling to and from exile to sell things/help the exiled hermits
the rest of the server: hiding their beds, creating bunkers, doing their best to not get exiled
meanwhile, mumbo: fan go whirrrrrrrrr
