I wanted to do a quote and color palette too! So here it is!

I love this quote because it is so perfect for how she handles situations. T.T  She’s so gentle yet strong. The BEST. Happy birthday Shijie! 

Ope.... I came to edit things and all the stuff i wrote disappeared. I hate tumblr mobile... Part of it had to do with thanking @purplexedhuman for her input on the rain one. I don't remember the rest... Guess it wasn't important?

Ep 6 - Wound Tending Tenderness

This scene was so intimate! I was screaming at the show.

The first gif is just the most amazing Gong Jun puppy eyes! And pretty much every action after wkx hits zzs’s acupoints are so tender. I am dead

Time flows perpetually. It flowed over the lives of those from Siji Shanzhuang. It flowed across the dreams and aspirations of Zishu’s childhood. Time finds the path of least resistance and sweeps away love, hope, joy, and all good things. 

Which Acupoints?!?! Or an investigation of Nipples and Nails

So tonight I was working on a Zhou Zishu centric drabble and my progress was halted by a very important issue: which acupoints are his nails in? Which meridians do they block?! Are they actually on acupoints or just arbitrary in Word of Honor? 

I asked some friends if they knew, checked the novel for mentions of specific acupoints, gave up, and spent an hour and a half trying to figure it out. For the last 45 minutes of my efforts, @aowyn​​ joined me on this quest. 

What I know: acupoints are defined by relative position on the body. In chinese they’re called xué 穴 which means cave/cavity. Many acupoints are between bones or in points that can be thought of as dips in the body. My mother liked pinching my 虎口穴  (Hǔkǒu xué) as a kid. It’s the center of the muscle between your thumb and the rest of your hand. And let me tell you, if you hit it just right it HURTS. I’ve seen a diagram where you put your hand over someone’s knee and where your thumb naturally lands is supposedly an acupoint. The temple (太阳穴, tàiyángxué)  is a squishy spot on your head -- another acupoint. 

THERE ARE ACUPOINTS ALL OVER and all of them are on some sort of meridians. There are twelve principal meridians and two centerline ones. Many are mapped to internal organs. 

Embarking on this I assumed that the nails were placed symmetrically and the three different nails on each side of ZZS would be (ideally) on meridians affecting different organs. Looking at snips from ep 32, this is confirmed: 

For @lan-xichens march gif challenges! 

So i was lazy and skipped week 3... so here’s week 3 and 4 all together.

So… @merelhyn has a vampire Lin Shu agenda for a Nirvana in Fire AU … And then i started watching Shan He Ling. This was in episode 1. I’m floored. YAAAAS. 

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)
