please watch project hail mary im so serious. im obsessed with doctor ryan gosling and his alien partner.

the look of horror on kon’s face when the cute guy he’s been shit-talking gotham to steps up to the podium to give a speech about charity. this is tim’s gala event. that’s the only reason he showed up.

tim totally throwing kon under the bus by telling him to go talk to damian, “he’s the friendliest, if anyone hates bruce the most-“

kon, trying to chat up a cute guy his age: so that brucie wayne’s a real piece of work, huh?

tim: you don’t say?

kon: dad calls him the dumbest guy this side of the equator. i feel sorry for all those kids he adopts.

tim, amused: oh, i’ve heard they’re just as unstable

kon: yeah? you know em?

thinking about kon-el meeting tim drake for the first time at a gotham fundraiser and absolutely BOMBING the interaction. trying to play the nepo baby luthor’s-kid card while having no idea who tim is. CATACLYSMIC level fumble.

legolas and gimli….. they mean so much to me

is this a safe space to talk about gigolas

MY DMS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

the elders, who at first had been pushing potential matches onto lwj, have finally started to realise how futile it is. lqr sends one last desperate letter to yzy. he knows it's no use; he has to talk to his nephew.

no one else has agreed to this match. lwj simply does not care.

it takes lwj three days to write an adequate response. after he sends it, he goes full fucking throttle on the engagement shit. the lan elders can only watch, horrified, while he commissions wedding robes, pores over documents to put together a brideprice, etc.

wwx: i'm so thankful lwj is forging his own path and not bending to his stupid lan sect rules!!! surely he will win and be able to find a nice wife himself!

lwj: i wonder if the jingshi has enough space for wwx and our eight children

lwj, marching into lqr’s office: i would like a lotus pond built in my garden

lqr: what?

lwj: as a wedding gift for wei ying
lqr, tiredly: for the last time, you are not marrying that boy!

lwj: hm. i will dig it then.

wwx flounders after that, and signs off quickly, but nothing can douse the flames in lwj’s chest. whether or not wwx meant to end up engaged - there were no regrets to be found!

“lan zhan, what i mean to say is, i’m glad. i’m proud of you. lan zhan deserves the best. i am comforted, that i could help a little.”

"ah, this isn’t coming across right. it’s so hard to put into words, but i cannot start yet another draft, else i’ll be punished for wasting scrolls!”

“and so i- ah, lan zhan, haha, it really is funny- i tried to think of how i might help- or rather, give him another choice- and so i wrote my letter! and i thought, he will do what he likes with it!"

“at first i wondered if lan zhan had asked for this himself; but that would be absurd! and then i became outraged. how could such an arrangement find a match suitable- no, worthy!- of my lan zhan! lan zhan deserves someone who is his equal! he deserves to choose - to find a partner for himself!”

dang i forgot about yalls timezones too... sorry

“lan zhan,” he writes, and the way he writes lan zhan’s name is so careful, so neat, in comparison to the lazy scrawl of everything else, “lan zhan, when i first heard the news of your- ah, i was shocked!”

it turns out lan zhan didn’t have to search at all; after three pages of rambling, wwx finally finds his way back to their shared dilemma.

“-and even after we returned them safely home, all they could talk about was hanguang-jun!” wwx writes. “aiyah, lan zhan, you’ve become more infamous than i without even trying! but what can one expect? lan zhan is the best at everything he does!”

wwx does not mention the business of lwj’s marriage directly, but does talk around it. lwj hones in on each line, trying to find some hint at how wwx is feeling - some evidence lwj has made the correct choice.
