Forgot to post yesterday so an extra long list of links today

Guardian/adjacent:
Just like candy.
Curls curls curls.
Yes I can't stand Ye Zun but I'm also not oblivious to his looks.
Wenella reassures us of Zhu Yilong's safety while bleeding from the nose.
Stunning. Zhu Yilong picspam thread.
I've watched these lollipop gifs loop about twelve hundred times.
Fanart: That's them, that's the show. Guardian memes. Encouragement. Chibi Zhubai forehead kiss.

Untamed/adjacent:

Casting did a great job with the kid actors.

So apparently "cracky" or "crack ship" does not derive from a reference to things being weird, a la Cracked magazine, as I thought.

A nice exploration of explicit sex as plot device.

I'm not in the hockey fandom, but I'm happy for those who are.

Yesterday I finished the sex scene I planned to write on Wednesday. My first prostate orgasm (coupled with a surprise!multiple-orgasm Shen Wei)! Very exciting (for everyone, I hope). There's only one more major emotional arc (and one more sex scene) to go before I head into Deconstruction's denoument. I can feel the "noooo don't wanna finish/let these characters go" feels already. Here's hoping I can push through it and just FINISH already instead of flopping around like I did with Ghost Story's last few weeks of writing.

explicit sex as plot device! yes! that, even MORE than prurience, is why I write so much erotic fanfic.

Those CURLS. Ah. And yes oh wow that Zhu Yilong edit has...a lot of beautiful Zhu Yilong in it...!

And how much do I love the "Noooo" meme? SO MUCH. I'm so glad Lin made one for Guardian because it is 100% accurate and I have feelings.

I just hope our precious idiot sons don't CATCH COVID AND DIE from being in those hotels. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited, but I also am terrified.

I mean, they have some kind of quarantine set up in the hotels but they're idiots and there are like 10 cases in the league already. >:(

Congratulations (er, to you and Shen Wei) on successful sex scene! (I started writing "congratulations on multiple orgasms" and then got embarrassed at the phrasing. Which goes to show that, although I completely buy into the linked discussion of how explicit sex can be important for the plot, I don't see myself managing to write it any time soon...) ;)

You know, one of the reasons I still haven't actually watched The Untamed is that the historical(/fantasy) hairstyles just don't work for me on the men, the way it's pulled back off the forehead (even Zhu Yilong in those styles doesn't do it for me), but on the little kids it's adorable.

hey, I like the historical hairstyles on women! (Also, CURLY HAIR. So envious.)

Oh, the kid actors, that's a fabulous compilation. So, so good.

I also like the 'sex as a plot device' thread, some very good stuff there.

Do you need a beta for Deconstruction or have you already got one?

Wenella is the best. I read that thread, too. I especially appreciate that she didn't post about similar things earlier, because she didn't want to pour oil into the fire and is always careful about sources.

I love the "protecting each other from Ye Zun" comic so much! :DDD

Yesterday I finished the sex scene I planned to write on Wednesday.
\o/ I am sure it's going to be very exciting *for everyone* indeed!

Good luck for the final stretch!

The curls!!

I've often wished I could force myself to care about sports, because those hockey rpf people -- and also sometimes the baseball rpf people? -- seem like they're having MAXIMUM FUN, ALWAYS. It makes me wistful!

Just a random aside, in the Brit-speak of my Northern roots, to call something "cracking" means it's Way Cool, and every time I see it in print, I hear my bestie over there saying it, so it sounds very Scouse to me.
Yes, I was very confused that first time I heard it used otherwise.

I hadn't heard that...yeh, makes no sense to me either.
