Link dump

Guardian/adjacent:
30 second vid that I watched loop for several minutes.
I watched this gif for an extended period of time, then went back and watched the vid because 💔
Shen Wei's bitter huff of laughter here is such a subtle 🔪
Fanart: Lost Tomb Reboot chibis. The colors and feels in this. Forehead touch. Kisses from Vian.

Untamed/adjacent:
Fanart: Nie Huaisang.

This week's dump on cm.net.

Feeling very uncomfortable in my head right now and sinking myself into my own fic is the only thing that can completely distract me. Reading and watching stuff helps a little, but not as much. As a result, it's highly likely that Deconstruction's first revision will wrap up well before the end of the month. I'm feeling weirdly disconnected from the story, though, and I don't like that. I need/want this story to bring The Feels. I hope the dissatisfaction is just my current mood.

Oh no that huff really IS bringing all the feels...!

And for you I bring hugs. ♥

THAT HUFF. 😭 We so rarely see Shen Wei express any resentment, so when he does, even subtly and with bitter humor, it hurtssssssssssss.

Thanks for the hugs. I'm having the "ugh this is terrible why did I write this" feels at an odd time in the creative process. I've heard this is supposed to happen before I'm done writing, not after...

*stealthily provides more hugs*

Sorry to hear you're feeling kind of weird. Do what works for you and don't worry about anything else.

I'm SURE Deconstruction brings the feels because that's what you do as a writer.

Well, that video is certainly a thing I watched. And will watch again.

As always, thanks for linking to all the great things - wow, that minivid is hot, I really hope she makes a full length one.

And I THOUGHT I had become aware of all the terrible double layers and meanings in Guardian dialogue, but no - that "How could I let you go?" line, that huff of laughter, oooff. Poor Shen Wei. He has many terrible ppl in his life and most of them are Zhao Yunlan.

Thank you for the vote of confidence! I appreciate it.

When I saw that huff on my first rewatch I had to pause it and scream for a while.

*tackle hug*

and lol that bitter huff, I love them so much

[moodsong]

How did you feel at the end of your last story. Could it be part of your process?

[clevermanka]

I AM IN LOVE WITH THEIR LOVE

[clevermanka]

Maybe? I honestly don't remember. It could also just be, you know... *waves hand at everything*

[calystarose]

YES!

Awesome 30-second vid. \o/
