i really wanted to draw them exploaring cabeswater

i enjoy drawing him
pieced together till they're no longer broken apart
i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.
make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.
spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.
At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

[ID: Art of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang in their bedroom. It’s nighttime/evening and warm moonlight shines through the window and into the otherwise dim room. Lu Guang is seated and is working on the laptop on the desk. He’s looking up at Cheng Xiaoshi, who’s sitting at the edge of the desk and smiling down at him. He has Lu Guang’s glasses in his hand. He’s urging him to come to bed soon. The overall art has cool and warm tones. END ID]
The funniest hyperfixations have gotta be the ones where you watch something and go "this thing is cute. I like it. not sure if Id call it a favorite of mine but its definitely enjoyable at least" and then cut to a month later and its completely overtaken your life
been….been thinkgin… about them….. theyr the bffs ever… think they should be allowed to remain happy
If the theory that Cheng Xiaoshi also dived back in time during his and Lu Guang's basketball match, then I am so full of dread that means that he is going to die for real. I can't see him being alive if that's true, but I can totally see it being true.
Just...the fact that if it's true, he clearly didn't stay in the past long, and clapped out not long after. He only dived back to have that game of basketball with his new, old friend, and to say how precious it is to be with trustworthy partners in this life. He didn't dive back with intentions like Lu Guang did to change the past. He would have done it only to say something kind to his friend.
I just. I can picture a scene where Cheng Xiaoshi, realizing what is coming for him, and what he cannot avoid, echoing that one scene in S1 where he covers the walls around him with photos he had taken with Lu Guang. And then he dives into each one, one after the other in quick succession. But instead of using it to get the upper hand in a fight, he's diving in so he can give his best friend some love throughout the years, one last time, to give him lasting soft memories that will carry and comfort him in the future--much like Chen Xiao. And then just like that, he leaves.
Dive. Love you, Lu Guang. Dive. You're my best friend, Lu Guang. Dive. I'm so glad I got to be your friend. Dive. Thank you. Dive. Goodbye. I don't want to leave you without saying goodbye.
