❰ the post is text, but with a video attached. it's a very simple scene, only seven seconds long. it shows off a wide-eyed wood duck in water, which is par for the course. as the lens zooms out, however (though obviously achieved by someone stepping backwards a few paces), the duck appears to be floating in the left side of a sink, surrounding counter top's wood soaked and water consistently lapping over the edge as he shifts in the water.

then he lets out a very loud...sound, and after the camera rocks a bit, a finger comes out to point at him with a scold. ❱

A-Niu. ❰ he repeats the sound, demanding, and the finger repeats a firm point. ❱ Ah! ❰ a softer bleat, suddenly submissive at the stern tone of the filmer's voice, before dunking the top half of his body into the water and causing more water to cascade down and over the counter. from there, it loops the seconds over and over again, until stopped. ❱

he is very cute but very noisy : )

[ Maybe someday Wen Ning will figure out how to change his username on this thing. At least he's figured out how to send written messages! That's step one in the right direction. ]

Is Lady Jiang taking up bird collecting too?

[soups]

❰ she's proud of you wen-gongzi :'( ❱

not collecting. this one just happened to choose me.

i put him out once, but he kept coming back. i figure it becomes rude after a certain point when he is so fond of me.

[lookslikeacinnamonroll]

Oh! I suppose some people just have a way with animals.

[ Not Wen Ning. Most animals are afraid of him just instinctually. ]

[soups]

❰ which is what she shall probe: ❱

have you never had a pet wen-gongzi ?

[lookslikeacinnamonroll]

Oh, no. We didn't have the money for it when I was little. Then there was no time. And then everything got

[ ...complicated. ]

I never really got the chance.

[shittalk]

haha look its meet the meat hour

[soups]

i do not know if i could eat this one at this point : (

we are too familiar with each other.

[shittalk]

aw sad
but dont worry babe i can take that one for the team

[soups]

well, i think i'll be keeping him. there are other options that aren't so personally attached.

are you interested in some duck meat ?

[shittalk]

shit if ur offering i'll take it

@Jiang.Wanyin

[legbreakings]

He is not cute, he is evil and he hates me!

[ Somebody does not like his new nephew, nope. ]

[soups]

have you tried to be friendly with him?

❰ would you rather have no nephew again??? ❱

[legbreakings]

[ Wow! Rude! Why do you go right for the kill, Yanli. ]

I have tried! He pecked me! And smacked me with his wings!

[soups]

oh? were you hurt ?

what did you do to make him so angry?

[legbreakings]

He hates me!

[deferences]

What a beautiful duck! And such a cute noise he makes, too!

Lady Jiang, would I be allowed to come visit sometime? I promise to bring snacks to help keep him occupied.

[soups]

isn't it interesting? it isn't the sound i expected from a duck.

you are always welcome in this home, especially as family. any snacks are essentially optional, but gratefully appreciated.

[deferences]

It is! Definitely not something I would've expected either, regardless of where we're at.

[oh... ‘as family,’ yanli says and sizhui's heart skips a beat.] I'm very pleased to hear that, although I have a feeling Jiang Cheng might protest a little. Is there anything particular he likes? I think I've got some things he'll be able to eat without getting sick.

[soups]

you think so? i didn't know that he would have something against a lan disciple. he seems to only feel some ire at wei wuxian right now.

a thing small vegetables and bread will be okay for a duck. i'm sure a-niu will let you know if he doesn't like something.

[deferences]

Ah... well, I think that may have something to do with it? Maybe, but I'm only making an assumption, I don't want to say I'm right.

That's perfect! I have some lettuce and bread and I'll bring some grapes for an extra sweet treat. Hopefully, he doesn't show me in a painful way.

[Oh this is DELIGHTFUL. This is the content he needs in this hell hole.]

Ah! It seems you've made a new friend. He's so beautiful!

So strange that he doesn't quack but squeaks. Maybe a little bit easier on the ears?

[soups]

yes, i don't know if a-cheng could handle this as well as he is if a-niu was any louder.

he's certainly too pretty and personable to make into a meal.

[porndealer]

Jiang-xiong can stuff his ears. A beautiful bird is worth everything.

I bet if he put a little effort into befriending it he wouldn't be so annoyed by it.

[soups]

that's also what i think !

but you know how hard it is to convince immovable a-cheng to do something that doesn't please him.

[porndealer]

Even when his lovely sister asks?

Maybe an intervention is in order. Sit them both down with food they like and mediate peaceful talks.
