Sure, Hua Cheng is the more ~suave~ between him and Xie Lian but sometimes Xie Lian will drop the most romantic, heart-wrenching, soul inspiring line on him out of literally nowhere
Theyre strolling through the forest near Puqi shrine one afternoon and Xie Lian looks at the trees with a smile and says "I love autumn the most out of all seasons. Because the breeze is gentle and the leaves are all kinds of red, so it feels like my San Lang is everywhere even when he is not here."
And Hua Cheng immediately trips on his feet
Something about the whole "Eming is born of Hua Cheng's desire to live and Rouye is born of Xie Lian's desire to die," and then how Xie Lian wears funeral colours and Hua Cheng wears wedding colours. God oriented towards death and stillness and self-denial. Ghost oriented towards life and hope and happiness.
The Xianle quartet in the begining of TGCF is literally so funny to me as a concept.
Because it's literally these 3 guys who have disguised themselves from this 1 guy to go hang out with him. 2 of them know who each other is and also immediately recognised who the third guy is but don't have any proof to back it up. And the third guy also knows exactly who they are but he doesn't care and doesn't even wanna interact with them because he got beef with them.
Meanwhile the 1 guy they are disguising themselves from actually recognised them on sight because they absolutely suck at disguising themselves, but they're trying so hard and he doesn't want them to feel bad and they're also hanging out now so that's fun, he doesn't wanna ruin that.
watching death note with my family and after the college entrance episode my mom asked offhandedly if anyone had ever pictured L and light as a couple before. it felt like one single white dove had landed on a crystalline lake in a beautiful pure clearing. no i dont think anyones ever thought of that before
internet's been real messy
we all probably need a break so have this cat

Been hearing this is a problem again. Don't be a dick in bookmarks, folks. And yes while I made this image, I'm giving free reign. Take it. Spread it far and wide. Because I'm hearing that some readers don't know that their bookmarks are visible.

I love the comparison of Wei Wuxian giving Jiang Cheng his Golden Core and Xiao Xingchen giving Song Lan his eyes because it just proves that Wei Wuxian wasn't too far off the mark on how Baoshan Sanren would have solved his problem.
Like, she told Xiao Xingchen that she couldn't give Song Lan new eyes because she can't create something from nothing (or at least something similar iirc), so theoretically, she could have also done the Golden Core transfer as a solution.
I don't know how well her medical knowledge is compared to Wen Qing but it just goes to show that even a powerful immortal can't just create miracles. She is also limited to realistic solutions.
The way the surgeries mirror each other, even with the way the "recipient" (Song Lan and Jiang Cheng) react, is just very interesting to me. Both didn't ask for the surgery and Both get upset when they learn of it.
Despite never meeting Baoshan Sanren, Wei Wuxian somehow managed to imitate her solutions shockingly well and despite never meeting Xiao Xingchen managed to inspire him.

guys how am I supposed to live laugh love in these conditions
Canon
Odysseus: 600 men making our way back home to Ithaca!
*Polyphemus swings his club around*
Odysseus: 593 men making our way back home to Ithaca.
*Poseidon wipes out the other 11 ships in the fleet*
Odysseus: ...43 men making our way back home to Ithaca.
*Elpenor's drunk ass falls off Circe's roof*
Odysseus: 42 men making our way back home to Ithaca, I guess.
*Scylla targets the torch holders*
Odysseus: 36 men making our way back home to Ithaca. Put that sword away, Eurylochus.
*Zeus strikes the ship with lightning*
Odysseus: 1 man making his way back home to Penelope and Telemachus. And by the gods, I will somehow make it.
Ok but every time i hear that silence its tbe exact length of "make it back alive to my home land" and i continue singing it every listen i do of the song, we can all be part of the spiritual crew now
so I know Six Hundred Strike has us all in a chokehold, but can we talk about how Dangerous had "six hundred deaths under my command, cause I had only one goal in mind" and then dead silence for three seconds
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL
“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”
What's your thoughts on vegan zombies?
I mean like. The abrupt, tragic loss of one's individual identity, memory, and morality, replaced only by hunger, is kind of like. The principal thing about zombies. In my opinion
Sometimes when xie lian leaves ghost city for more than, say, a few hours, hua cheng defaults to sculpting statues of him to deal with the pining and the yearning
Which results in xie lian coming home to like three to five more statues of him in Qiandeng temple
"San Lang i was gone for...a day?"
"Actually, it was 26 hours, 32 minutes and 6 seconds but regardless of that...I missed gege."

Shen Qingqiu: Some people are so beautiful that they are irresistible to both men and women... it's not gay to be attracted to them. There is literally nothing else you can do.
Xie Lian: You are so right. Or if you happen to have to kiss them to exchange spiritual energy, it doesn't mean you have feelings for one another.
Wei Wuxian: True. Also sometimes guy friends just need to get naked together and touch one another and make each other climax. Just normal friend stuff.
Shen Qingqiu: ....
Xie Lian: ....
Shen Qingqiu: ....exactly. You guys get it.
I finally finished this seen page madness!!! Here’s more of my t4t soukoku au
The next day they went their separate ways and never spoke of it again.
YESYESYESYES
I need someone who is good at art to draw Athena and Poseidon in the Olympus Infirmary just glaring at each other from across the room
spoilers for the vengeance saga!!!!
what i love about the poseidon and odysseus dynamic is that throughout the sagas they both used each others words/threats back against them/each other.
like in remember them in the cyclops saga you have odysseus shouting to polyphemus
"I AM YOUR DARKEST MOMENT"
which in ruthlessness in the ocean saga, poseidon doesn't shout it but does coldly repeat the words back to odysseus after murdering 500+ of his men.
and of course you had poseidon also saying (before the murder of 500+ men)
"so close your heart, the world is dark and ruthlessness is mercy-"
and now in six hundred strike in the vengeance saga, the tables have turned and poseidon is at odysseus's mercy (and very clear lack of) that while STABBING HIM WITH HIS OWN TRIDENT REPEATEDLY, odysseus throws poseidon's words back at him (while being all stabby stab stab)
"told me to close my heart"
"you said the world was dark"
"didn't you say that ruthlessness is mercy upon our-"
like damn odysseus, impaling a god repeatedly with his own weapon ain't enough huh?
