One of my favorite things about Xie Lian is that, no, he doesn’t see the good in everyone. He sees the bad, and looks for the good anyway.

He knows exactly what the world is capable of, how cruel people can be for no reason at all. He also knows that there is an inherent kindness even in the meanest of people, and he refuses to pretend it doesn’t exist.

He waited for three days. He was ignored for three days as he laid on the ground with a sword through his stomach while people walked past and pretended he wasn’t there. He waited, and it paid off, because people can be kind, and Xie Lian knows this.

It’s how he was able to befriend Hua Cheng. It’s how he was able to rekindle his relationship with Mu Qing.

Xie Lian is often painted as naive, but that would imply he doesn’t understand the world. Xie Lian understands it extremely well. He’s experienced tragedy, and has almost initiated it himself. He knows how easy it is to fall into despair, and how hard it is to drag yourself out of it. He knows how much kindness matters, how one simple act can change the course of someone’s life.

anywho,,, i love Xie Lian and needed to rant a bit 🫶

"Would anyone want to read --" Listen, imma stop you right there. Yes. YES, someone would want to read that. You write that weird little fucked up story. Or that domestic little slice of life story. That drabble or that 300k monster.

I promise someone wants to read it.

Variations on "they would not fucking say that":

They would not fucking say that (the classic)

They might fucking say it, but they wouldn't say it like that

They'd say it if it ever occurred to them, but there's no fucking way they'd figure it out on their own

They might think it, but good fucking luck getting them to admit it

They might say it, but – and this is key – they'd be intensely fucking weird about it

Happy Birthday, Wanderer!

I've told you there's no need for gifts, so what's with this handmade thing? The craftsmanship is... mediocre. Is this how you see me?

Whatever. I've already gotten plenty of unusual stuff from you, so what's one more?

Hmm? Wait, even Durin prepared something?

...Alright, fine. You guys sure come up with plenty of ideas. And look at you, grinning like that. I'm starting to think you're the ones who've been looking forward to this day.
