the author of one of my favourite fics of all time reblogging my post was not on my 2024 bingo card lmao your AU is honestly amazing

so many Calamity Xie Lian fics focus on Hua Cheng's reaction and what their dynamic would be and thats amazing and i eat it up every single time but you know what there's not NEARLY enough of? Feng Xin and Mu Qing's reactions. How would they cope with seeing what happened to their BEST FRIEND, their prince who they LEFT(they had their reasons yes but still), and how would they treat him afterwards? Would they view it as a betrayal? Would the guilt eat them up even worse than the canon? It's such a fascinating twist on the dynamic

i wondered why i like the hualian underwater kiss in tgcf so much specifically because its happens underwater and then it hit me. it's because i used to be a huge percabeth shipper as a kid . my percy jackson era never truly left me it's just hybernating and the second i see something in a story that happened in pjo i worship it IMMEDIATELY. it was never a phase.

i still hate the fact that mu qing was the only one to apologise out of the xianle trio. yeah he screwed up a lot but he's not the only one- feng xin didnt believe xie lian and thought he was losing his mind meanwhile his friend needed him more than ever, and xie lian didnt apologise for not realising how much weight he was putting on mu qing and feng xin's shoulders( taking care of him and his family even when they were in hiding). all three of them screwed up , all three of them hurt each other and yet mu qing is the only one to apologise? cmon.

tgcf spoilers btw

i keep thinking about how jun wu was convinced that xie lian's last believer(hua cheng) would leave him in that final battle since his own last believer(mei nianqing) also left him but to be fair to mei nianqing the situation is completely different.

xie lian was all hua cheng ever had, the god who saved him as a child, who protected him, whose shrines offered him shelter and comfort. xie lian is the literal reason he refuses to leave this world, as he wants to help and protect him just like he did so many years ago-he's what ties his existance on earth because he had no one else. his family seemed to despise him, no other friends, nothing. of course he'd follow xie lian anywhere, of course he'd do anything for the ONE PERSON to ever care about him, the person who held him while he cried and told him it wasn't his fault.

but mei nianqing? he had friends other that the prince. he had the other perceptors-all five of them were incredibly close. and then they turned against jun wu(for understandable reasons) and he killed them. his friends. THEIR friends. of course mei nianqing got scared,wouldn't you? seeing his prince slowly fall into madness, going as far as to kill people he cares about,people they both held so dearly in their hearts, it makes sense why mei niangqing fled.

the situation was completely different and yet jun wu failed to see that. he was so desperate to draw or forcibly create parallels between him and xie lian he ignored how big their differences are. yes junmei paraller hualian in a more tragic, messed up way but the dynamics are not identical and part of why jun wu failed is because he assumed not only that xie lian and him were the same , but also that mei nianqing and hua cheng's circumstances were identical

when i first read svvss i kept getting yue qingyuan and liu qingge mixed up and could not for the life of me figure out what was going on with their dynamic with sqq and the worst thing is i'd seen spoilers that one of then knew shen jiu when they were young but since i could not remember who was who i was just confused for more than half the story

hualian is cute and all but I’m reading tgcf for the toxic genderfluid lesbians and that babe mu qing

“How come we don't know much about Camilla?” maybe If Richard didn't romanticized her we'd be able to actually analyze her as an individual and not just her being the only female in their group.

the dissapointment i experienced when i realised sha hualing and liu mingyan only have like two scenes together will forever be unparallelled like i'd seen so many beautiful artworks of them before i read the novel and couldn't wait to see their dynamic and then.

''the secret history vibe is studying hard and loving the classics'' so close! the secret history vibe is a close group of pretentious idiots who secretly hate each other murdering people for the vibe and ignoring the concepts of the moon landing and hypothermia

[potatosaresweet]

fall is almost here which means it's almost time to reread the secret history
