“Meimei, be nice,” the stitched ghost chides. “We were all disoriented once. Poor thing looks like he only just crawled out, too. Where’s your grave, gege?” His… grave? Yin Yu looks down at himself, black robes torn and covered in dirt, and runs a hand over his eye down his cheek and jaw, a smear of dirt coming along for the journey. “Do I look dead…?” Stitches frowns, a hand coming up to cracked lips. “Aiya, he doesn't even realize.”

"Why," Yin Yu whispered. "You don't understand."

"Of course I do," Xie Lian replied. "How could I not understand?"

It's Yin Yu appreciation time

He throws shade in the most polite way

Example 1.)

The disciples of his sect complain about Quan Yizhen existing and his response is "Get Good and you won't be so mad"

Example 2.)

The way his language changes as he addresses Jun Wu. You can even see it happening, as he thinks about it and realizes Hey fuck this guy. He literally drops the honorific for the Emperor of the Gods and addresses him like a peasant. That's like telling your former boss at a prestigious yet miserable job "I'm not your bitch anymore."

A mxtx crossover event where all the red-black characters had to fight, I believe, would result in a very interesting rock paper scissors scenario.

Wei Wuxian, being the Ghost Whisperer, could probably beat, or at the very least subdue Hua Cheng. We know Hua Cheng is weak to Ghost Stuff a la the Mount Tonglu opening incident, and Wei Wuxian has dealt with extremely powerful spirits in the past.

That being said, I think Hua Cheng could take Luo Binghe in a fight. This guy bested 33 heavenly officials, his swordplay is unmatched, and Luo Binghe is very powerful but I imagine that power comes with the side effect of very little finesse. Additionally his protagonist halo probably wouldn’t save him here since he’s not the only protagonist.

However, Luo Binghe would totally destroy Wei Wuxian. With his itty bitty Mo Xuanyu core he doesn’t stand a chance. Tearing through an army of the undead is the exact sort of op bullshit Binghe excels at, so that option is out too.

That being said, if their love interests are also fighting, Xie Lian bodies those fools. I’m sorry but even though Lan Wanji is excellent and SQQ is a peak lord, they do not stand a chance. Xie Lian’s favorite trick for 800 years was to break boulders on his chest while he had no access to any spiritual energy. Dude folded the heavenly emperor like a lawn chair. No contest.

Just take the money Xie Lian…

Hualian miscommunication is on another level omg

Xie Lian’s over here like, “I can’t ask him about his past because then I’d have to tell him about my past and that time I almost did a genocide, and that’ll scare him off for sure!”

Meanwhile you’ve got Hua Cheng going, “I can’t tell him about my past because then he’ll find out I know about that time he almost did a genocide, and that’ll scare him off for sure!”

Like have a normal conversation you losers!!!

Listen, I know I'm probably beating a dead horse but the ✨ symbolism✨ of Xie Lian losing the mask representing Jun Wu while deciding to interrupt the parade to save Hong Hong'er is my favorite thing.

He stops being the crown prince that pleases the gods and becomes Xie Lian again because he chose to save a little boy's life over heaven.
