also i have so many wips sitting in my drafts but i've been so busy recently i haven't managed to clean them up...

thank you lucyyyyy back on the oubing brainrot :D

add (1) more text' and right when i was pulling my hair out trying to decide which text i should use, i kid you not, that book fell off my desk and opened to the nezha page

and i was like well fuck the lotus prince has spoken i guess

(long story short yes i did end up putting nezha into my thesis)

also funny story: in my research there's a specific writer who wrote a little scene of nezha and I wasn't planning to add this work in bc I didn't have time left but in the FINAL draft a week before I was supposed to submit my defence copy my supervisor went 'i think it would be good if you could

i'm sorry for the angst (i said, like a fucking liar)

come follow our nezha fansite for the latest nezha updates! red carpet pic from the hundred flowers award has been uploaded :D

omg thanks for pointing it out! here’s the link archiveofourown.org/works/64843009

bits and pieces are coming back to me so: we were beside this lotus pond thing and just sort of sat? in silence? looking at the pond? lotus flowers were really pretty m pretty sure it was cloud tower palace bc it was very bright

was this a cryptic sign to write the lotus pond into the fic extras

wouldn't be an 'oomph'/punch to the gut feeling to it. practical tip: you have to start reading your own stories obsessively and think about your own writing habits (heaven knows how many times i reread dtass/tff lol) and what effect u want to have that was/was not brought across.

hope this helps 🫶
