stripedspatula.com/gallo-pinto/#wprm-recipe-conta… was quite tasty when we made it the other night. also ruchiskitchen.com/vegan-spicy-peanut-noodles/#rec…. both good!
omggg this is exactly the kind of dynamics I love to see between Feng Xin and Mu Qing during the Xianle era
fx and xl are so SWEET together and fx and mq are so....united in their mutual disdain for each other and how they're connected with each other
and how sex with each other doesn't actually change any part of that for fengqing; they have a good time having hatesex, they still hate each other, they're connected forever via their hatred for each other and their mutual love of xl, and their mutual inability to understand /how/ the other approaches their love for xl
mdzs space au about nie huaisang and his years-long project in avenging his da-ge
a repeated theme throughout the fic is nhs visiting and talking to back-ups that had been taken of nmj's personality before death, and the way that this makes literal how HAUNTED nhs is by his brother's absence is just sooooooo good
the worldbuilding is great, the things that are changed from canon due to this different context are great, the anguish and monofocus of nhs are great
reverse transmigration bingqiu story, told through the forum posts of peerless cucumber, cucumber bro's fans, shizunsheavenlykitten, and all the people who think shizunsheavenlykitten is a tradwife
a quick and fun read! I loved seeing the other internet people being endlessly baffled by bingqiu
La #zététique est une discipline partant d'une noble intention. Mais quand on voit ce que les promoteurs de la discipline font et dans quoi ils versent, ça remet en question tout le fondement de la discipline.
Entre harcèlements, doxxing, menaces et violences psychologiques, j'en ai vu assez pour dire qu'il y a trop de sacs à merde dans ces instances.
Dommage car j'ai adoré baigner dans cette culture quand je suis sorti des sphères #complotistes et confusionnistes dans lesquelles je m'étais engouffré, il y a quelques années.
Le milieu #zététique maintream est également profondément sexiste, saniste, transphobe et validiste.
Pour le côté saniste on repensera à Astronocreep qui a fait une caricature de la folie extrêmement blessante pour les personnes atteintes de troubles psychiques au #REC.
Pour le côté sexiste et transphobe, on repensera à leur refus de remise en cause du modèle patriarcal de leur démarche par la longue exclusion des femmes et minorités de genre de leurs cercles.
Quoiqu'il en soit, ce n'est pas parce que la #zététique mainstream est un bourbier qui se rassemble chaque année aux #REC qu'il faut pour autant en délaisser l'esprit critique et la méthode scientifique.
Seulement, il ne faut pas utiliser ces outils pour ridiculiser vos opposants, pour les enfermer dans leurs certitudes et/ou pour faire vos choux gras et nourrir votre audience de potes surexcités par l'effet de meute.
Et surtout, il ne faut pas utiliser votre audience pour harceler, menacer, doxxer, violenter des personnes qui ont seulement voulu émettre un avis critique envers ce qu'est devenue la discipline.
sqq is in the sort of epilogue where absolutely nothing happens, no matter what some people might say. there's no storyline and he's definitely not experiencing character development!
this was SUCH a delightful read omg. extremely bingqiu of them!
I've been thinking a lot about bingqiu's sexual dynamics of late due to my current wip, and I can say authoritatively that this fic Understands them
this free-to-read academic article is an overview of the features of a voice that lead people to read that voice as a particular gender
it pushes back against the traditional view of male vs female voices, of pitch being the main deciding factor in gendering voices, and of a voice's gender being immutable
it's a pretty accessible read, IMO!
16 pages in length; 12 pages if you discount the list of references
Wen Qing/Qin Su canon divergence fic! joining forces along with Meng Yao to spy on the Wens :)))
Qin Su is a character who I always love to see being given more scope for complexities and personhood and decisions than we get to see in canon and this fic delivers
also it really lets itself inhabit that period where Wen Qing is working for Wen Ruohan and everything that means
the subtleties of how the relationships between Qin Su and Wen Qing and Meng Yao are portrayed in this fic are soooo good
An svsss qijiu canon divergence fic, about things that might have happened while lbh was still a very young disciple to change the course of events
I love how small the things are that cause these changes, and that it's a small unthinking kindness from yqy to his own disciples that in a winding way leads to his own happiness
as the author says, these two are freak4freak and I love it
the desperation both of them feel about each other while being unable to talk about any of it!
Nirvana in Fire fic about Cai Quan/Shen Zhui!!!!!! god I love these nerds
Reading fic about their comfortable relationship with each other as they argue and work and engage in endless bureaucracy just filled me with enormous fondness for them both
they should be a thriving ship in the fandom and it's a tragedy there's not more fic about them, but this one is GREAT.
an Enchanted Forest Chronicles fic that takes place post-canon, about one of Kazul's grandchildren
featuring a dragon who doesn't want to have to choose a gender in order to be considered an adult, and a princess who's also a prince
the next generation finding their own ways to be "improper" and shock the the older generation! gender experiences outside the binary! a very fun dragon-and-princess relationship! I loved it all
fic about the made-up film Goncharov, by which I mean, fic about the made-up academics who study the real-in-their-world film Goncharov and have fights about it in academic journals, and also write fic about it
told entirely via text messages, ao3 comments, academic paper abstracts, and emails
yes obviously it's enemies-to-lovers
it's completely delightful, I love everything about it
in which an unorthodox cultivator gets himself adopted by a small child who turns out to be part of a major righteous sect, despite the unorthodox cultivator's attempts to remain a lone wolf unencumbered by attachments
liu mingyan and ning yingying's developing relationship as they find ways to open up and be real with each other
it's so cute!!
I love how it talks about the experience of gender, how nyy likes that with lmy she isn't expected to be a demure flower, and lmy likes that she doesn't have to be perfect, and none of that excludes them from belonging as a woman who loves women
