if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band

{ Couples in order of appearance: Hualian from "Tian Guan Ci Fu," Wangxian from "Mo Dao Zu Shi," Bingyuan from "The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System," Yanshen from "Qian Qiu," Fengcui from "Wushuang," Ranwan from "Erha," Ximang from "Yuwu," Changgu from "Sha Po Lang," Cezhou from "Qiang Jin Jiu," and Moshang from "The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System," Fengqing from "Tian Guan Ci Fu,” Wenzhou from “Tian Ya Ke,” TBC…}

the wildest thing about lan wangji is the way he’s immediately enraged at his own feelings for wei wuxian. because we’ve seen wei wuxian fall in love slowly and surely, right? he goes from a quick interest to an oblivious attraction to liking lan wangji then being infatuated after his return to life, then to straight-up loving the guy intensely. we watch him develop his sexual and romantic attraction equally.

but lan wangji’s different. from the very first second he’s desperately smitten — all it took was one sly smile and he was going through the four stages of love: the desire to marry, kiss, bed and die with him. and he’s so goddamn outraged, because how dare this troublemaker trespass into his house and steal his heart so easily??

he was so conflicted that he didn’t see any other alternative if not to unsheathe his sword and fight the hell out of that idiot. feelings?? for a rebellious teenager?? right in front of my clan’s three thousand rules??? not today, devil.

this clip was so novelwwx coded that I had to drag myself out of art-block to do this

So fucking funny that Xie Lian (the former prince of Xianle, war general Hua, the martial god who took down the heavenly emperor) is spending his days being a housewife cooking terrible food and getting creampied. I love that for him. It's what he deserves

[lanhualaozu]

The fact that hua cheng is canonically the best in bed out of all the mxtx tops is funny to me only because i imagine him painstakingly studying erotica novels and the kamasutra

Taking notes only he can read only because his handwriting is abysmal

Highlighting information like he's learning for an exam

Practicing dirty talk and seductive lines

All completely shamelessly because he must know all these things. Not that dianxia would ever do such things with him, dianxia's so holy and pure, but just in case! Just in case! This is just in case!

Hua Cheng is not fantasizing about it happening, this is just in case something wild happens and dianxia needs him to do this! This is purely practical knowledge!

xie lian's most relatable moment was when he ran out of swear words in book 4

[lanhualaozu]

I think one of Hua Cheng's favorite ways of teasing his husband is by praying to him

Since Xie Lian gets a hefty following in time, he gets busy trying to help his believers, and that means answering a lot of prayers

And what is Hua Cheng if not his god's most devoted believer?

However, his prayers are rather unique

From "i pray his royal highness the prince of xianle no longer dumpster dives in ghost city because his husband will offer him whatever he needs" to "i pray his royal highness the prince of xianle eats three meals a day and no longer pretends one stale meatbun is a meal when his husband is away", its usually cute, sweet or funny things that Xie Lian finds so adorable to listen to

Until...

"I pray his highness the crown prince of xianle one day awaits his husband after a long day's of work only wearing the red lace robe said husband gifted him some time ago and nothing else beneath..."

(Xie Lian scolds his San Lang about such an indecent thing to pray for bur San Lang just innocently goes "His highness wouldnt abandon his most devoted believer's wish, would he?")

[lanhualaozu]

That infamous weirdo, the laughingstock of the three realms, the legendary Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he…he…he…he fucking ascended again!

I love the way MXTX introduces characters with gossip—how your first impression is half-clued in at best and your preconceived notions unravel along with the narrative. It’s satisfying on a reread to see how you were never lied to, not really, but how context changes everything.

Day 22: Wedding

Hualian invented love, after all-

This is also my apology for having Hua Cheng kiss a statue a few days ago. He gets a live and well Xie Lian today. Unseen behind the scenes: Tyeth crying for 30 minutes trying to figure out how and where to crop the pose. Hua Cheng got severely cropped hahaha...

I just realized I forgot to post these here on my tumblr…

Tossing (wrong) Flower Under my previous, more serious post of Wei Wuxian tossing flowers to Lan WangJi.…there was a comment on Weibo saying “hua hua~” (flower) and then I couldn’t help it…Orz *Hua Cheng’s name (Heaven Official’s Blessing) means flower.

P1: 

WiFi: A flower to match the beauty~ Mob: YiLing Patriarch is murdering someone!!! Xie Lian: hmmm…gotta try this for my next street performance…

P2:

criminal Wei O Xian: A flower to match the beauty~ Lan Zhan: I gotta keep everything Baby gives me.                  (intends to walk back to Cloud Recesses like this) Hua Cheng: … Xie Lian: w…WAIT!! bunny maru: can you make a bookmark out of THAT flower…?

How i see Wei wuxian leading the band of disciples through out the book:
