i am feeling the friends to enemies to friends to lovers in this chilis tonight, a whole year late

Do ya'll ever think about how every character in MDZS is living in a radically different genre of story?

Cause yeah, sure Wei Wuxian is living in a danmei fantasy novel with strong romantic comedy elements, but if you slide over a bit Lan Wangji is living a serious and heady drama about regret, loss, yearning, the passage of time, and ultimately atonement.

Scooch on over to Xichen and your in a straight up Greek tragedy, right down to the parable about hubris and trust. Jin Guangyao is living meanwhile in a political dark fantasy al'la Game of Thrones, Nie Huaisang is in a Gothic moody Monte Cristo-esque reflection on revenge and deception, and while Lan Sizhuhi and Jin Ling are living in two VERY different YA fantasy books ('magic boarding school/secret orphan of destiny' and 'Steven Universe style coming of age/discovering all your family are some flavor of evil and magic' respectively).

Everyone connected to Yi City is living inside a dark psychological thriller/horror flick, except for Xue Yang who is in a Found Family/Enemies to Lover fic right up until he isn't.

Jiang Cheng's entire life has been one long soap opera, and it is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Someone should draw Bill Cipher wearing these

I read chapter 1 and 2 and have many thoughts about Victor's childhood and personality. Sorry for the long post.

First of all, he's first five years of life were privileged and self-centered. At the time he was a only child pampered be his rich parents, never knowing hardship. Through the chapters, he talks about how his parents were never strict, how they were nice, good people, etc.

This brings up, again, the facts that he never experienced real consequences for his actions, don't know how the real world works - believing that in the end everything always work out if you try hard enough - and see everything through the egocentric lens that he can never be wrong, everyone else just can't see his brilliance.

We can see this with his initial pursuit of knowledge about the Natural Sciences. He became interested in alchemy and don't believe his father about the lack veracity in this studies. He persists in this journey to the elixir of eternal life, seeking fame, but never stops to reflect what this discovery could mean to the world in its practical application.

He just stops when after receiving irrevocable proof that his scientific branch is wrong. This first disappointment's already too much to his ego, and instead of just correcting himself, he completely abandons the Natural Sciences as if it personally insulted him and his world view.

You can also see Victor's egocentrism from how, even though we learn he has a younger brother, he never tell us his brother's name and he never features in his stories of childhood. This brothers existence challenge his belief of being the center of his family, the center of his everything, so, therefore, is discarded.

We could talk, also, about how his relationship and thoughts about Elizabeth differ from his relationship and thoughts about his brother. He don't see Elizabeth as his own person, or even as family, not really. Ever since his mother presented her as "a gift" to him, that's how he views Elizabeth. She is but a extension of Victor, how he sees her is just a reflection of how he sees himself She's, like him, perfect in everyway and, as his present, every compliment she receives is a compliment to him, his "owner". Because that's what we do with objects that belong to us, if someone says: "I like your bracelet" the correct responde would be "thanks", because this person isn't really complimenting the bracelet, but its owner.

I'm stopping here, thanks for reading.

Don’t Think of the Blue Eyed Ghost

Don’t think of the Mother’s mind 

Rotting to Brine 

As the little shoes,

Dusty from Time

No longer smelling of sweet Lime,

As her family burns thyme

Don’t Think of the daughter

Who has  always Loved Her Father,

With dry tears 

As  her destiny leered 

Don’t think of the middle child, 

Who’s rage never burns mild, 

With a heart cold and wild, 

And who has seen more than vile

Don’t think of the youngest

Who’s eyes shine the Loveliest 

With scars over all his heart,

Who has once fallen apart

Don’t think of the Father, 

That went Farther

And guilt haunted him,

And choked on him to the brim,

Don’t think of the Blue-eyed Ghost,

Taking over a Black-haired Host,

With Smiles as Sharp as Wires, 

Wrath as harping as Fire

AAAAAAAAHH I can't believe that I found this legend of a post

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

Someone's gotta make one of those "What's your wolf name?" things but for alchemist titles. You know the ones, it asks like what letter your name starts with and the month you were born in to spit out the name "Moon Moon" at you.

YESSS. WE NEED THAT. Imagine if that was how Bradley chose their titles. “Oh shit here comes the Moon Moon Alchemist”

I like to imagine that during every BAMF moment Nagisa has, Karma is responsible for special effects. The wind dramatically blowing Nagisa’s hair? Karma’s slightly off-screen with a fan on the perfect setting. A dramatic light shines on Nagisa? You know Karma is being Supportive Boyfriend™️ with a spotlight. Every time Nagisa’s bloodlust shows a snake? Karma’s throwing a rubber snake and filming it up close with a cool background to amp up Nagisa’s moment.
