Wei Wuxian and his murder children

Au where on top of A-Yuan Wei Wuxian ends up adopting all the murder gremlins in the show. Mainly because the author would pay cold hard cash to see Wei Wuxian, on his Yiling Patriarch days, storming a Discussion Conference, with A-Yuan in his arms (teething on the Chenqing), Mo Xuanyu hanging from his back (cause he's still shy but the goblin energy is slowly coming out and he wants to be included), and Xue Yang being dragged by the back of his robes (because if he can't be a serial killer he will be a serial pickpocket and no one can stop him). The paleness, trembles and twitches have less to do with the demonic cultivation and more with the fact that he is suddenly the father of three.

Why they stormed the discussion conference is anyone's guess but the author suspects it has something to do with the kids. Maybe one of them tried to steal Zidian the last time Jiang Cheng visited. Maybe the kids missed their other dad and tried to run away and find him and Wei Wuxian tagged along (read: found the older two had grabbed his baby radish and disappeared and flew into a panic).

-Wei Wuxian storming Lanling - "LAN ZHAN! You promised to take the kids this weekend! I have talismans to make!"

Meanwhile, Xue Yang is in the background excitedly showing some of the other junior disciples (he is Wei Wuxian's disciple and he WILL bite you for saying otherwise!) this new method of cultivation they have been developing that essentially boils down to using necromancy to just...Not. Let. A. Plant. Die. In his case it goes something like this:

I feel like fic writers (me) sometimes overlook the sheer hilarity that WWX and LWJ are Parents in the way that no one else in the MDZS universe seems to want to be. Like can you imagine a time travel AU where LWJ and WWX wake up 15 in cloud recesses, see all their peers and are like,,,, children. Everyone is children. 15 year old Jiang Cheng? A baby. 19 (?) year old Jiang Yanli? A child. Just 15 year old LWJ and WWX aggressively parenting their friends and family because damn it clearly none of the other adults are gonna do it

Supreme Court issues decision on Trump immunity case | CNN Politics

The Supreme Court issued a ruling on the blockbuster case about former President Donald Trump’s immunity claims. Follow here for the latest

I cannot stress enough how important it is that whatever you think of anything else, Trump Cannot Be President Again.

The "rip apart democracy and install an autocrat" group was not Ready for him in 2016. They didn't think he'd win.

They're ready now. They're teeing up for a second Trump president. Whatever your favorite current Thing, it would be worse under Trump, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they're going to try to make sure that they stay in power forever, by any means necessary.

SCOTUS basically just said, "If Trump sends the Army in to murder protestors, that's okay. If Trump assassinates a political rival with the armed forces of which he is the Commander In Chief, that's an official act, and there's no recourse."

Anything he can even vaguely justify as "an official act" - including installing people in the Justice Department to support his coup, including pressuring his VP to support his coup - is no longer a crime.

This isn't just me saying this, btw. Here's Robert Reich, lifelong public servant (and yes, dad of @samreich, since I know what's important to y'all):

Finally, the Republican-appointed justices have given a dangerous amount of discretion to presidents — broad enough, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted in her dissent, to protect presidents from prosecution for bribes and assassinations. A president already has the authority under the Insurrection Act to order troops into American streets. After today’s ruling, those troops would be under the command of a person who would almost certainly enjoy absolute immunity for the orders he gives them.

This is unbelievably terrifying.
