guy who says "it's okay im reclaiming it" when you tell him not to take the lord's name in vain
the “oh it’d be funny if this were a thing that qifrey didn’t know and was never told by someone” joke gets funnier and sadder if you believe olruggio’s talking about the tassel exchange when he’s ranting about heartbreak in chapter 59 pff
2 gays and 8 little hecklers
that one line in chapter 9 has haunted me ever since. this is the result of that brainrot. thank you for reading!
“In 1984, when Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend with cancer.
During one visit, Ruth noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag. She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had AIDS.
On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Ruth decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.
In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told Ruth he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, “Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here six weeks. Nobody’s coming!”
Ruth called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her son, who she described as a “sinner” and already dead to her, and that she wouldn’t even claim his body when he died.
“I went back in his room and when I walked in, he said, “Oh, momma. I knew you’d come”, and then he lifted his hand. And what was I going to do? So I took his hand. I said, “I’m here, honey. I’m here”, Ruth later recounted.
Ruth pulled a chair to his bedside, talked to him
and held his hand until he died 13 hours later.
After finally finding a funeral home that would his body, and paying for the cremation out of her own savings, Ruth buried his ashes on her family’s large plot.
After this first encounter, Ruth cared for other patients. She would take them to appointments, obtain medications, apply for assistance, and even kept supplies of AIDS medications on hand, as some pharmacies would not carry them.
Ruth’s work soon became well known in the city and she received financial assistance from gay bars, “They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here’d come the money. That’s how we’d buy medicine, that’s how we’d pay rent. If it hadn’t been for the drag queens, I don’t know what we would have done”, Ruth said.
Over the next 30 years, Ruth cared for over 1,000 people and buried more than 40 on her family’s plot most of whom were gay men whose families would not claim their ashes.
For this, Ruth has been nicknamed the ‘Cemetery Angel’.”— by Ra-Ey Saley
for those who saved their loves, and those who didn’t.

[images are two stylized paintings with similar compositions. the first is a portrait of wei wuxian as the yiling patriarch, backlit with an eerie red glow, one exhausted eye visible as he plays his ghost flute; in the shadows under him, wei wuxian and lan wangji sit together in an isolated patch of grass, leaning together affectionately. text overlaid reads, “when is a monster not a monster?
the second is a portrait of jin guangyao, his face featureless but for his manic, dimpled smile, backlit in an ominous dark gold; he is flexing his fingers and golden threads trail off them as would a puppeteer’s strings. in the shadows underneath him, lan xichen kneels in profile, entirely alone. text overlaid reads, “oh, when you love it.”]

Hi my name is Phoenix Dark'ness Dementia Raven Wright and I have short ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with sharp spikes and pointed tips that reaches a few inches behind me and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Naruhodo Ryunosuke (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Mia Fey but I wish I was because she's a major fucking hottie. I'm French but my lungs are healthy and cancer-free. I have pale white skin. I'm also a defense lawyer, and I go to a law firm called Fey and Co in Japainfornia where I'm a junior partner (I'm twenty four). I'm a Sonic kin (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly blue. I love Lordly Tailor and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a blue suit with my attorney's badge and blue pants, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Fey and Co. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of prosecutors stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
gonna be real here: we need MORE quarter life crisis!Chuuya in that outfit!!! Helicopter scene, but he is dressed like that. Scene where he breaks in to Ango in Dead Apple, but he's dressed like that. Vampire!Chuuya bursting into prison, but he's still wearing these clothes; expect here plot gets derailed, because both Dostoevsky and Gogol cannot take the sight of it and start judging his fashion choices. They either get dressed the same right after or get him a new attaire first.
Alskdjfj thank you for requesting this anon, I love quarter life crisis Chuuya—(For anyone who’s new to this AU, it’s this thing I drew a bit ago)
Helicopter scene:
Prison breakout (I can’t imagine Fyodor would be pleased lol):
Dead Apple (plus a bonus because oh my gosh the mental image of Chuuya going through the entire movie like this, HELP):
