“The crowd became as quiet as winter cicadas. That being said, at such times, there would always be warriors unscared of death who’d speak up, mocking, “Wei WuXian, you really are the YiLing Patriarch, aren’t you? How assertive of you. So you’re trying to stop people from saying anything?”
- Chapter 80: Loyalty - Part Two, Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Chinese: 魔道祖师; pinyin: Mó Dào Zǔ Shī) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu.
Faroe Islands
It wouldn’t be surprising if people aren’t familiar with this place as I most certainly wasn’t until I kept seeing photos of it pop up in photos and stories from landscape photographers. It’s a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean situated in between Iceland and Norway.
Some of the most surreal and dreamy landscapes I’ve ever seen were on these islands. Everything felt like it was scaled to epic proportions from the sheer cliffs to the beautiful jagged rock formations in the sea, to the various sharp edges on different mountainsides. Their quaint villages all grouped together in little nooks of the island with their roofs made of grass; some of these villages were so isolated that they had less than 20 permanent residents. Driving on their roads was basically going through a blur of beautiful scenery with random backdrops of waterfalls scattered about all over the place. It honestly felt like you were living in someones vivid imagination.
That tiniest smile on his face when he realises that it’s Wei Ying on his roof ♥
He is my match.

Catherine Hyland - Wonderland, China
“First started in 1998 with the intention of creating the biggest theme park in Asia set to cover 120 acres, building stopped when agreements over land ownerships could not be met and funding was cut. The half-built structures across vacant cornfields serve as a reminder of what could’ve been, creating this ghostly, fairy-tale world. Catherine’s images which can be seen at new gallery Flat C later this month, are so brilliantly jarring with the artificial turrets and towers against the dusty, concreted reality of where it actually is.”
