Sea view (1841) by Ivan Aivazovsky

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
So I did actually write a short one shot of this to experiment with another style (except I made Clive actually like Jason). It might be pretty rough because this is almost the opposite of how I write. Should I post???
I might have to make a Chemistry (by Weike Wang) AU for Clive and Jason. A short one, but an AU where Jason asks Clive to marry him.
(I’ve only read the sample on Amazon because I am waiting to go to a book store to buy it but I think it kinda fits. I like the analytical-ness of the narrator)
THE JOURNEY TO THE UNDERGROUND CHAMBER
it’s that time of year again
(( _ _ ))..zzzZZ
Bingge has been running himself ragged for MONTHS looking for HIS 'nice Shizun'.
What he doesn't know is that Shen Yuan transmigrated into wife #216 (the one from the sexy slime chapter...) the same night he came back and have been living his best life in the palace's library every day. He's been 'giving' his night with Bingge to the harem member who managed to sneak him in a 'Flower of Transing your Gender'.
It's kind of uncomfortable to wear a woman's clothes when he's just a totally normal straight guy, but he's FINE!! He's low enough on the totem pole that he is ignored for most of the harem drama and since he's a DUDE now he isn't pulled into any wife plots! Now he gets to study all the monsters he could ever want! Plus, just occasionally glimpsing the 'best wives' like Liu Mingyan, Sha Hauling, and Ningying is pretty cool, too!
Things are going GREAT until he passes by an upper courtyard one morning and finds a Beauty Devouring Harpy-Lizard has three wives cornered and is about to eat them! Oh no! Well, this is probably a wife plot, so Bingge will come any moment now to save them....
any moment now....
any moment....
...
WHERE is he???
Shen Yuan uses his new Beast Knowledge and his stolen body's mild cultivation to tame the lizard. Turns out it's just a juvenile and they can wean it off eating pretty women if they feed it enough regular meat! Now Shen Yuan has three women in his corner, too! They can help keep him off Bingge's radar while he stays in the palace!
Except... well... it keeps happening.
Beasts attack when Shen Yuan is nearby. Bingge doesn't show up. And then Shen Yuan has to deal with it! He's forming his own harem inside of the harem and he doesn't WANT that!!! Bingge will kill him!!!
It all comes to a head when one of the IMPORTANT wives, Ningying, is cornered by a Ravenous Rainbow Gem Tiger! Even using all of his cunning and smarts, Shen Yuan isn't sure he's going to make it! He manages to get Ningying out of there, but he's on the back ropes...
Then Bingge shows up just in time to save the day.
Oh and he looks BAD. Hair unkept, bags under his eyes, like he hadn't been eating; even with Airplane's shitty Cultivation rules the protagonist shouldn't look like this! Shen Yuan INSTANTLY starts fretting over him. Bingge doesn't seem that impressed, probably used to it by now and thinking that this is just gunna lead to The Usual Business. But he gets this little nagging feeling when Shen Yuan invites himself back to his chambers. Shen Yuan bullies him into bathing, brushes out his hair, makes him eat something, and gets him tucked all nicely into bed. And without a hint of papapa in sight!
In fact, Shen Yuan just... pats Bingge on the head and makes him promise he'll sleep and then leaves.
Bingge staring at the ceiling of his bed, taken care of, no sex expected... squints and has his 'wait a fucking minute' moment.
Can you imagine you grow up on a farm, out in the wilderness, with very little access to any kind of amenities. You get out, because of your intelligence, and spend your whole life studying one particular topic. Learning about it is your passion. You don't advance very far, because other people keep stealing credit for your work and you don't have the social awareness to stop them. But you are still much better off than you started, so you let it go. Then a man shows up, who is not just interested in your favorite topic, but is the living embodiment of it. On your first outing, back to the area you grew up, he gives away very expensive items to save people just like your family. He doesn't see this as generous, just a basic expectation. He offers you up the reward and credit for the work you did together, when he could have kept it all for himself with no consequences, and he technically lost a large amount of money on this job because he gave it away to strangers. He asks you out to lunch at your favorite restaurant. After you finish eating, he goes behind the counter and gets a job for the evening, because learning about his favorite topic is his passion.
Its disgusts me how hypocritical Floch is siding with Zeke who is the guy that slaughtered Survey Corps and Erwin and doesnt hesitate to put a bullet into Levi who SAVED him in RTS. He's being so ungrateful and needs to be knocked off his high horse :(
Like this, you mean? =P
Yeah, Floch seems to have changed quite radically since the RTS arc. He used to think very little of Eren as well, who he now honours as Eldia’s saviour.
And he was on Levi’s side against Eren in Serumbowl. But then, Eren himself has changed a lot, too. Although Floch seems to be flip-flopping with his allegiances, his rationale has actually remained the same.

Mo Ran groveled in the dust, clutching at the hems of Chu Wanning's bloodstained robes.
"Shizun, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please... please, come back with me..."
The wonton scene hurt so much.
I always wanted to redraw the wontons, because I didn't like how they looked. But it's been years and I still haven't, so I guess I'll just leave it at that and just try to do better on future art.
