This is probably going to end in tears. She/her, queer. Fandom, tea, fountain pens, cats, embroidery, and general nerdery. Come back after you turn 18. You can also find me at AO3, Tumblr, DW, and probably a few other places under this username.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Right? They would be so effective, and then MCS could take a nap.

Liyang is an utter badass. She and Jingmum and Yan Que ought to be allowed to form a trifecta and rule the country together.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

He really is. Just grade A, top-notch best friending.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, it went right over Jingrui's head and I think Yan Yujin knew right then and there that shit was gonna go down.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

And he's cute as a button about it, too.

Ep 22

Prince Yu: Is it weird that Meng Zhi and MCS are close?

Banruo: They're close? I hadn't noticed.

Prince Yu: ...maybe I'm just paranoid.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Liyang: Listen here you little asshole, I've known you since you were in diapers, you are gonna promise me right here and now to treat these people right even after you can't use them any more.

Prince Yu: ...meep.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

The BALLS on Xie Yu to ask Liyang if she would truly abandon him for Jingrui.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Niannian: *approaches Jingrui*

Yan Yujin: Lady, have some respect, can you not see this man's life has just burned down around him in the past fifteen minutes? Give him some fricking space.

Episode 21:

Yue Xiuze: All I really wanted was a fight with Zhuo Dingfeng when I gatecrashed this party, geez.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Episode 18: Mu Qing thinks it's totally weird that the more the crown prince and Prince Yu fight, the less power they seem to have. Totally weird, right?

Nihuang, Xia Dong: *laugh nervously*

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Mu Qing regrets teaming up with Yan Yujin, who is entirely too excited about all this.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Meng Da-ge and Nihuang have no idea why MCS is turning this group of people loose to search his manor top to bottom and it's making them nervous.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

MCS: You just keep on being you, Prince Jing, it's my job to make sure everyone else realizes who you are.

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Episode 17:

MCS: :| That is not what I meant when I asked you to assist Shen Zhui.

Prince Yu: I know, Banruo helped me innovate! :D :D :D

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d

Prince Yu promises he will definitely assist Shen Zhui in getting the fireworks factory case taken seriously. You can count on him!

Lys ap Adin @lysapadin.bsky.social · 2d
