👆👆👆 If I recently followed you, try here! I’m very Kpop-pilled rn.

Yamane Ayano?!?!

Not a name I expected to see in my circles ever again. I wonder if I can even find my autographed copy of Finder atp. 😭

Omg Fengcui in the Twin Jade Array. This may now be my favorite kiss scene ever. I love two competitive asses who won’t yield to each other. I love Feng Xiao tricking Cui Buqu into thinking it’s pretense and laughing to himself about it. I love how they only kiss in the most inconvenient of situations. I’m having the time of my life with this novel.

I know few people will understand both halves of this post but this is literally me right now.

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

I think about this cake every day

sorry for exposing your tags but this is hilarious

OP, I hope you don’t mind me making an addition:

When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as we’d done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake you’d write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, “Happy Birthday Courtney”. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.

The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name ‘Juan’ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (I’ve never seen ‘Miley’ without the E, either, but it’s believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where I’m one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?

This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me ‘Courtney Mily Jaun Pablo’ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.

I love a botched cake.

one time me and some pals spotted one of those big cookie cakes in a store. it was done up with red icing and little X's for kisses and in the middle it said

No One Like You

now, it took us a while to realise it meant "(there is) no one like you". at first, we all parsed it as a botched "no one like(s) you"

for ages after when we'd wind each other up we'd declare "NO ONE LIKE YOU ☹️👎"

I just feel like it's important to post the Sacred Texts

More than a decade after taking this picture I still think about the employee who cba to find the right shaped box, nevermind draw straight lines.

A wild pun appeared! (Chapter 6)

I can’t imagine that “Wei” can be punned that way like that in Chinese, so what’s the original text? Is it a pun as well?

Thanks for asking! Much to my disappointment, the original Chinese looked like it could've been a pun but apparently isn't.

所谓“逢魏必吵”

The Chinese language loves 4-character idioms, so I thought this could've been a joke off some existing phrase, but from a quick Google apparently it just means "meet-Wei-must-argue", or in other words "arguments are inevitable when 'Wei' is brought up".

HOWEVER, if it makes you feel any better (or worse), if you say the above phrase out loud it goes "suǒ wèi 'féng wèi bì chǎo'"... though it is not meant to be a pun 😅

(By the wei, apparently the Chinese fandom has the saying "Inside the book it's meet-Wei-must-argue; outside the book it's meet-Xue-must-argue". Occasionally "meet-Jiang-must-argue" as well.)
