Guardian/adjacent:
I want Doylist and Watsonian theories for this, please.
Still not the biggest fan of Zhu Yilong's super short hair but with this styling I don't hate it quite as much.
Delightful Zhubai tin-foil hattery.
Fanart: Zhao Yunlan. Roses and glasses. Chibi glasses. All Weilan All The Time. Trying on your bf's clothes. Forehead kiss. Morse code. One of my fave Bai Yu pics (only with maybe not shorts). New Zhubai from Breeze Wong.
Best Squad.
Love bowlerrootx's dedication to Zhubai education.
I would be clamoring to return to work if this were my desk neighbor. Sob.

Untamed/adjacent:
What a voice, wow.
How cultivation sects correspond to art museum departments.

Was scrolling through my Zhu Yilong tag yesterday (bc why not) and found this Zhubai murder husbands vid that I still want fic for.

So, uh, if anyone's curious what I think Shen Wei's body looked like in those dark blue lace briefs from Subtle Reminder.... (yes, this is the same blog that inspired that fic in the first place).

Making slower progress with Duolingo these days. I did my minimum required lesson yesterday, at least! Tried to go for a second lesson, but they threw reflexive verbs at me and I was like Not Today Satan. Eventually I want to learn how to say "go fuck yourself" tho, so I'll need them eventually.

Typical tech

Dunno what happened with my side of things on today's Discord watch. I (thought) I did everything exactly as last week, but then things started to get flaky. I assumed it was my internet (which has been spotty all week) but when I got back in, my screen did this when I clicked on the server and the little loading animation just ran and ran and ran. I couldn't even click out of the video view to get back to the text screen. I even tried (twice) after the streaming portion was over, wondering if it was just server load, but no. Same thing happened (twice). le sigh.

I have a ridiculously big sad over this. Didn't realize how much I was looking forward to saying hi to people. Maybe better luck next week.

At least I got 1k words down for Table One today which included: 
With a groan, Zhu Yilong pulled away and off him. Bai Yu tried to follow, grasping at the placket on Zhu Yilong’s shirt, trying to unbutton it with shaking fingers, praying nobody was changing their minds, here. Zhu Yilong leaned in close with a reassuring kiss.

“Condoms,” he muttered against Bai Yu’s lips.

At least things are working out for SOME people!
