qi rong immediately clocking hualian as gay… well yes!
bonus: xie lian’s reaction
I'm sorry I keep being a hater I promise I'm done for now lol. Season 19 bingo but only the worst possible things (mostly my personal fears)
Main character death does not include Church because. Come on.
this is actually the funniest scene in the novel to me for so many reasons i have so much i could say about it
bc fengqing were like 100% in the right given the info they had but the reader knows how harmless hua cheng is when it comes to xie lian . but like if it were anyone other than hua cheng in ANY other context the cave is so unbelievably scary, what do you MEAN you painstakingly carved thousands of statues, sir!!!
feng xin and mu qing's little freakout was simultaneously so warranted but so unnecessary i love them so much actually
Xie Lian in the cave: He's obsessed with me 💖😗🥰🥹👰👨❤️💋👨💘💘💘
Fengqing in the cave: HE'S OBSESSED WITH YOU 😬😱🤢👹🙈🙉🙊🔪🔪🔪
My favorite thing to think about while reading mxtx is “can you imagine being someone normal.” Because seriously imagine you’re some normal guy farmer and you hear about the yiling patriarch, the guy that killed thousands of people like 15 years ago via necromancy is a. come back to life b. totally chill now? c. gay d. dating the most illustrious, well renowned, talented cultivator from the most conservative cultivation clan.
Wei Wuxian is like what if a manic pixie dream girl was a man and also an enemy of the state . what then
people who are already fear mongering that restoration might be bad are fake fans and can also be hurled into a volcano
also that scene in the book where lwj magics wwx stuck on top of him in bed is like
wwx: i’m going to straddle him and bring our faces super close together to gross him out until he kicks me out and i simply won’t think about why none of this grosses me out haha
lwj: sigh.
the more you act like this, the more certain i am you’re you, dumbass
bc i know you’re just doing this to upset me and not bc you actually want it, i’m going to give you two chances to get the fuck off me
joke’s on you tho, i’m really enjoying this
i spent over a decade mourning your death and though i never lost hope i also never really expected to feel the weight of your body on top of mine and my heart is going to explode
it’s past 9pm, idiot, go to sleep
hot take lan wangji would absolutely for sure scrap all day every day no hesitation whatsoever. the only reason he doesn’t is bc no one is stupid enough to piss him off (until wei ying ofc). you get one glare, maybe two if he’s feeling patient, and then it’s instant hands. truly a miracle wwx did not take more of a beating when he was at his most insufferable. in the library w the magazine lwj literally said catch me outside so i can beat ur ass. he’s soooooo ready to challenge any and everyone he meets. jzx (either of them tbh) says literally Anything and bichen is OUT. blades at DAWN. AND noon. and you know what, fuck it, blades at dusk too. in middle school he fought wen xu and all his goons One time when he was like 12 and he beat their asses so bad that shit followed him all the way to college. legendary. everyone knows lwj is in love w wei ying bc of the lack of duels. anyone else would certainly have been punched in the face. but no wwx just gets sideye. and ignored. which only ENCOURAGES him. in fact if anyone else tries to put a stop to wwx shenanigans lwj glares at YOU. everyone says ah yes, face of jade, so serene. meanwhile on the inside he is full of lust and also more importantly rage. i Love him. he said sometimes violence is the solution actually. but only when i do it. pristine.
