Obsessed with Xie Lan as a character. Like I know everyone reads these books for the romance but the individual character concepts are hilarious.

Xie Lan is a prince. He eats poison on the reg. He’s forever stuck looking like he’s nineteen. He’s the oldest guy in the communication array. He knows kung fu. He dressed in drag to catch a ghost on two separate unrelated occasions. He’s the world greatest detective. He’s kind. He was forced into a trolley problem and chose to pull the lever. His cooking is awful to the point it could kill a god. He’s kind. He tried to give CPR to a ghost. He’s the unluckiest man alive. He’s been kicked out of heaven multiple times. He’s kind. He caught a kid from certain death and everyone was pissed at him forever about it. He regrets nothing but coming back to heaven.

the suffering never ends

They are both so normal. Definitely nothing wrong with them or anything <33

adding to this cause I don't think you guys understand how feral I am about this series I am holding these characters in my teeth and shaking. Anyways.

Both are possibly the biggest bitches ever. You just know Shen Yuan's comments were lethal, my guy was probably the highlight of the novel, remember Shang Qinghua remembered him like 40+ years later, and I do imagine that Shen Qingqiu, the peak lord of the pro smartass club and former street rat knew how to pack a mean insult.

They both had the choice to leave something they hated (Shen Yuan actively chose to read pidw despite how much of a failure it was, down with the ship kinda behaviour and you know who else chooses to stick with something despite how much it's (he's) failing him eh eh eh)

both of them would rather die than talk about their feelings like normal people

Shen Yuan and Shen Qingqiu both get violent urges Shen Qingqiu just gets them more. Shen Yuan has managed to focus it on Shang Qinghua.

I think if Shen Yuan was put into the same position as Shen Jiu (no reincarnation bs) he would turn out similar if not the same

Hear me out: The beasts could have been ok, if only they didn't, perchance, have the wrong soul jams... Look I know they're meant to parallel their opposite (i.e Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla) but I can't help but notice how weirdly similar they are to other ancients. Like what do you mean Hollyberry and Burning Spice are both brawlers and Mystic Flour and Pure vanilla are both healers!!!! Perhaps, if they had switched soul jam, nothing would have gone wrong

Smash

Fuck it. Unhinged smash or pass. Spin the wheel.

alot tbh but this sums up s2 well

well im fucking the cursed amulet. so mind your business
