Byler quote of the day:
Mike: *To El* Are you deaf? I thought we were friends, you know? But friends tell each other the truth. And they definitely don't lie to each other. You made me think Will was okay, that he was still out there, but he wasn't. He wasn't! Maybe you thought you were helping, but you weren't. You hurt me. Do you understand? What you did sucks. Lucas was right about you. All along.
*A mere few seconds later, after El channeled Will on the radio.*
Mike: Was that... Was it...
El: Will.
(I think people forget how much Mike's opinion about El depended on her ability to find Will in season 1. When he thought Will was dead, he insinuates that they're not friends anymore, and that Lucas was right, they should have left her to get sent back to where ever she came from. He only flipped back when he realized Will was still alive, and that she was still of use to them. His opinion of her is so malleable, even later on in the show, when he actually starts to see her as a person. He flip-flops so much, and when you really start to think about it, there isn't much that El does that he agrees with. They have different interests, and don't respect each other much. The common theme in season 1 is that Mike keeps El around to help Will. And that stays more subtly throughout the rest of the seasons.)
(Also, a little post editing note: I do realize in this scene, he just found out his best friend was dead (to his knowledge). It makes sense that he would lash out on her, because he's grieving. This isn't the only scene where this happens, though, and that's the point I'm trying to make.)
Chrome’s conclusion….
I was stressed last time i wanted lwj to bite wwx
she asked me if i believed in god and i told her that when i was four i almost drowned in a public pool and in my panic mistook a stranger for my father. i clawed my way up his leg. four years later he’d send my parents a picture of the scars alongside a tin of cookies. he said, “i hope she’s still okay. i carry her with me. it isn’t every day you save a life. it isn’t every day you feel like you were here for a reason. when it does happen, you have to cherish that memory. for once, i had a purpose. just being there was enough. she tore me open but she taught me a lot about love.”

What did the nice, attractive man from the grocery store ever do to you, cat? Let Mingjue live, this date had been going so well…. – Modern NieYao, cat!Baxia, and a bit of a rocky 4th date that has more blood in it than Mingjue anticipated
I guess you could call this illustration “expectation vs reality”? yeeessss I know I gave the prompt for this one but I love it very much and it is SO FUNNY. poor Meng Yao, seems semi-immortal giant maine coon Baxia must remember you from your previous life and has yet to forgive you 😆
from a conversation with @guqin-and-flute about Cousin Dynamics irt their parents - A-Yuan is a very sweet and kind cousin and will be sympathetic over almost anything... but post WWX-return, no one has to put up with worse parental indiscretions than him, and he is not interested in hearing your pathetic complaints, alright?
also, like, A-Fu, considering that you have three whole dads in a triad long-distance relationship, and considering the very very complicated history between them, they have done EXCEPTIONALLY well to get you all the way to teenagehood before you got this very specific kind of trauma!
more of this AU
(2019) it hid behind your teeth and you were too nervous to seek it out. you waited for the perfect moment until you couldn’t.
