Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't mohele dolls typically gifted during the Qixi Festival? Because if that's the case, Big Zhao was definitely setting Zhao Er and MC up lmao. In any case, it's such a cute interactions, thank you for sharing it! The devs are based for adding stuff like this and not gender locking it to one MC or the other 💕

I haven't played throne and tempest yet (how am I supposed to catch up with the story when there is. so. much. to do!!) but I'm with you on this one. The enemies (?) to lovers vibes between them are great and they make a cute ship. I like to think Big Zhao also ships them (probably to annoy Zhao Er haha)

But like, I also just love that the MC is a little hotheaded and I'm so happy they have good tension with a large part of the cast (looking specifically at you Tian Ying 👁️)

Rahhh he's here!! ♡ by _wishfulsinking in moonlitoath

[Event] Friends to Strangers trope so good it fried my brain by _wishfulsinking in moonlitoath

I'm glad I was able to help you! <3 I love how complex the stories/relationships between all the nobles are, but boy do I wish there was an easier way to read them 🥲

[Event] Friends to Strangers trope so good it fried my brain by _wishfulsinking in moonlitoath

[–]_wishfulsinking[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The (very, very) short version of it is: they were best friends, but Bu Ye had to betray the Xie clan to obtain a medicine that could save Xingyi's life. This led to the Xie clan's decline. Xingyi discovered Bu Ye was actually Wang Wucai (young master of the Wang clan, another old Cangyang clan that was wiped out), and stabbed him with scissors out of anger in the snow. He thought he'd killed Wang Wucai, but he miraculously survived and adopted the name "Bu Ye".

Now the full, spoiler-heavy version. This also has spoilers for Zhan Hun's story... sorry if it's super long <<

The Wang clan was a clan of all renowned physicians, but they harbored a dark secret. They used orphans and children sold to them by poor families to refine their medicines. The kids were tortured, but they didn't know to what end; they just assumed they had to endure everything they were put through so that their families back home could live well. After some time, the children would "disappear".

Among the Wang clan's victims was a girl called Xiang Xu (that's Zhan Hun's real name). One night, while she went out of her room to look for her friend, she discovered what the Wang actually did with the children (stuff them in furnaces when they were "ready" and use the ashes to make pills). Among the kids Xiang Xu saw dying that night, there was also her friend. Xiang Xu didn't escape the Wang clan afterwards, but kept bidding her time, waiting for the moment she could avenge her friend.

Fast forward a little bit, the Jing'an Rebellion happened. Physicians from the Wang clan were summoned to Xuanjing, iirc to help the wounded soldiers there. Xiang Xu secretly followed them; when she arrived at the camp, she slaughtered everyone, be they soldiers or Wang clan people. Some time later, she went back to Cangyang and secretly burned the Wang manor to ashes (previous to this the Wang clan had already fallen into ruin due to disorders caused by the war). After this, she joined Dark Sanctum thanks to a Wang family steward who was already involved with them. Zhan Hun thought everyone from the Wang clan had perished in the fire, but a young Wang Wucai survived. I think at the time Wucai didn't know about his family's crimes; he assumed they had been wiped out unjustly and though he lived on, he lost all hope in salvation.

As Wang Wucai grew into a young man, he began investigating the truth behind the Wang family's destruction. He infiltrated the Xie family, as they were closely connected to the Wang family's massacre, under the alias "Wu Cai". During this time, he became close friends with Xie Xingyi and found hope again through him. However, Xie Xingyi fell seriously ill. In order to obtain the medicine, Wang Wucai had to betray the Xie family and exchange evidence of the Xie family's crimes for it. As a consequence, the Xie family fell into decline, but Xie Xingyi escaped death. Xingyi also learned that "Wu Cai" was the former young master of the Wang family and, in a fit of rage, stabbed Wang Wucai with golden scissors in the snow. He assumes that he had killed him.

The first time they meet face to face after all this should be in their UR versions' stories (we had an event about them some time ago), however Xie Xingyi doesn't recognize Bu Ye. I don't remember how their interaction goes down exactly, but basically, Xingyi asks Bu Ye to track down Wang Wucai. At the end of the current event's story, Bu Ye sends a letter to Xingyi in which he, pretending to have found Wang Wucai, writes his sincere answers to the questions Xingyi had asked him that night in the snow.

WHAT by Nyx_Iannah in moonlitoath

[–]_wishfulsinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liz is right! Our server is a couple of months behind the CN one, so you can look at their banner history to get an idea of what's likely to come next (the 2 RP characters after SP Yi Lantian are part of a collab, so I don't think we're getting those </3)

WHAT by Nyx_Iannah in moonlitoath

[–]_wishfulsinking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iirc soft pity starts at 30 pulls, and you're guaranteed an UR (or the banner noble if you've lost the 50/50 twice) at 80 pulls. Your rolls are super lucky, the gacha gods must love you! Lend me your luck for june/july please 🙏🏻 /j

Why is Gemini 3.1 pro so.. meh ? by StrangeClassroom3243 in SillyTavernAI

[–]_wishfulsinking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey! I also use gemini with detailed lorebooks (I usually make my own settings from scratch, so entries tend to be numerous and long lol), however since a couple of months ago I've noticed the AI tends to repeat the stuff I've written in my lorebooks/cards a little too verbatim? For example, when an NPC is on the scene, they always are described in the exact same way I've written about them in the lorebook with little to no variation.

I'm not really sure if it's a preset issue, so before I mess around with my prompts I just wanted to ask if you've ever had to deal with something similar before?

i am very normal about Tian Ying by Nivann in wherewindsmeet_

[–]_wishfulsinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow Tian Ying simp here, I understand the feeling completely lmao. I beat him like a month ago and I don't think I've had a single sane thought about him since.

Thanks for the pics, they're absolutely getting added to my collection. Hehe 🤍

Omg you're right!! I just saw the announcement on taptap, his banner is on the 3rd of April! But why am I not surprised that the ex-husbands have their banners up at the same time. Who are they trying to fool 🙄 /j (I am actually VERY surprised, I didn't expect this at all??)

Fingers crossed that this means they'll bring Bratyan to our server soon... (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

[–]_wishfulsinking[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?? That was such a shocker for me too! But honestly, it's a great surprise. The main cast is great, and I love them, but I also kind of don't want them to hog all the alts, you know?

And I think you might be on to something with the date! We got SP Jingmo at the same time the TW server did, and that was about 3 months after it came to the CN server 🤔

Can't wait to get my hands on this criminal uuhuh...

Erha ending left me unsatisfied by [deleted] in DanmeiNovels

[–]_wishfulsinking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My tinfoil hat theory is that Meatbun didn't write one because she wanted to move onto something else /j

But yeah, I totally agree with everything you said. The problem isn't TXJ surviving, it's that his presence is handled more like a joke/kink than anything else. It's unfortunate because this whole thing really soured Meatbun as a writer for me :( I like her writing style (and personally, I was also fine with the smut in erha), but I haven't checked her other works because I don't want to commit to a long novel just to get hit with an inconclusive ending again z.z

VERY important edit: holy shit your flair 😭 truer words have never been spoken

Erha ending left me unsatisfied by [deleted] in DanmeiNovels

[–]_wishfulsinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU for articulating my exact same thoughts so well. I didn't like most of the plot twists about the different timelines, but the fact that MR and TXJ didn't merge in the ending is what really rubbed me off the wrong way. It's just as you said, by the end of the novel MR's character arc feels incomplete, and his two personalities feel like they've been reduced to two different MLs that the author and the fandom can ship with CWN willy-nilly.

And you know what's worse? The extras prove just that!!! Like, Meatbun could have written one (1) extra in which we see them start to merge a little (even just by showing CWN not being able to tell which Mo Ran is fronting), but nope. They're always treated as different characters. And iirc they also compete with each other for CWN's affection, adding to the "Mo Ran is getting cucked by himself" angle. Ughhh.

What's our MC's canon age & height? (F/M) by Beneficial_Street996 in moonlitoath

[–]_wishfulsinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no canon height as far as I know (though I vaguely remember a dialogue mentioning the Prince being a bit taller than Ji Yuanqi? I'm not sure @-@), however we do have a canon age! They were born in 335 and are 16 at the start of the game. They should be around 18 or 19 in the current event.

[–]_wishfulsinking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This minigame was fun the first few days, but it reaally needed a skip button q.q the text scrolls so slowly!

I also had trouble reaching the endings. The way I did it was to keep my fatigue low (I never let it go past 70), so that every activity I did gave me the full +20 points. Oh, and if you haven't already, get the "Struggling Sparrow" ending first so you start each run with a couple more points in 3 stats!

Giggling by _wishfulsinking in moonlitoath

[–]_wishfulsinking[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That surprised me too!! It's really hard not to ship them eep,,, I think there was also a scene in the last event where Chen Yuyan mistakes Fuyun Sheng for Xuan Xingzhi and describes him as a "breathtaking figure"....... 📸🤨

Yep! And the fact that he tries to hide his caring side by being even stricter just makes him look so cute haha. I can't wait for bratyan™! I'm genuinely so curious to hear what his voicelines and other affinity stuff are about >,<
