Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

“Gusu Lan Sect, Lan Wangji.”

“Wei Ying.”

“Emperor’s Smile, I’ll share one with you, can you pretend you didn’t see me?”

“Why would I not dare to turn up here? I’ve faced 3000 people myself before.”

“Ah Xian.”

“I’d like to see just what minor and small evil spirits dare to create trouble here.”

“Becoming strong… this is something that is within my expectations.”

“Being hardworking in studies and practice is a priority for all Lan disciples.”

“How boring, where’s Fairy?”

“Walking quickly is forbidden in Cloud Recesses!”

“Who has summoned me? It sounds so familiar…”

“How did I end up meeting him again?”

Pauline’s book recs : a MASTERPOST (II)

Shit, it’s 2020 and I’ve updated this Behemoth again. There’s both old and new in here. If you’re having problems with links overlapping, it is most likely the app/dashboard glitching—try the permalink version, and everything should work out, even on mobile. And of course, HAVE FUN.

Also: I had to split this one in two otherwise the links just poof, disappear. Part one is here.

here’s the meme animation i promised! cale’s suffering will be nothing if not funny to me. he just wants to sleep, guys.

Hurricane Helene has devastated Appalachia and the news isn’t covering it.

Y’all, it wasn’t just flooding. Entire towns are gone. Like the buildings aren’t damaged, they just aren’t there anymore. Bridges and roads have collapsed, leaving other towns only accessible by air. There is no power, water, food, gas for generators, and no rescue coming. They can’t get anything in. There is no Wi-Fi or cell service. Thousands are missing.

I’m Appalachian (I live in the east now, though. I am safe). It’s not just a region, it’s got a unique culture. It’s own unique music and dance and food and art. There are ethnic groups that only exist there. So much of my cultural identity has been decimated. How much knowledge has been lost to the death toll? How many Mawmaw’s quilts and biscuit recipes? How many pieces of art and cultural artifacts swept away by the flooding?

Appalachia is one of the most impoverished regions in America. They are never hit by hurricanes like this. They don’t have the resources to deal.

People are also not making international trips to Appalachia like they do for Florida. It is very likely Appalachia will receive inadequate resources from the federal government and from organizations like the Red Cross. Thank you economy politics. Turns out your life is only worth as much as profit as you can turn.

People did not vote for this either, before anyone tries to say that. North Carolina is arguably the worst state in the country when it comes to voter suppression and gerrymandering.

Just, please y’all. Be aware that this is now a humanitarian crisis. Be aware of the damage. Help if you can as relief funds and gofundmes begin to emerge.
