(Observations from Chinese fandom idk what it’s like in the English side, also idk translations for some of the names of things)
A lot of blade fans dislike jingliu (hmm perhaps for killing their guy hundreds of times) but I think people forget jingliu was possibly the most direct victim of the incident. She had to kill the cursed dragon made from baiheng’s flesh (I don’t read liuheng fics but I kind of passively ship them because it makes this more knife and more tasty) which basically immediately triggered her mys and drove her insane (altho she was already very old 1000+ by this point) so effectively Dan feng and ying xing caused her death as well, and thus altho she considers herself one of the 3 sinners due to going insane and killing fellow soldiers, you could also consider that to be Dan feng and yingxing’s fault too. From this point on jingliu is dead, and iirc the document in game says the casualty count was in the thousands and I don’t think jingliu killed blade that many times, if you want to calculate it like that.
I’m not a blade 推 he’s just very interesting to me, his suffering fascinates me lol, I’m a jing yuan 推 tho so I suppose I also have complicated feelings about the current, mys jingliu because of the trouble she and luocha did and will bring to xianzhou and thus jing yuan… she really is not herself anymore. The jingliu who taught jing yuan 吾等云骑,如云翳障空,卫庇仙舟 is gone… that jingliu would never use the lives of everyone on luofu as just another means to achieve her goals.
And if you look at blade altho he is probably normal most of the time when he’s not exposed to mys triggering things from his interaction with firefly he seems pretty quite and reserved (altho still cracks jokes which were then heavily memed hhh 点刀哥经典语录:死不了) which is very different from famously arrogant yingxing. That arrogance was probably why he helped Dan feng, for Dan feng he also had to consider this could be the way to save the future of his race but for yingxing I interpret his motivation as helping a friend and the short lived race’s desire to do what no one has done before and leave his mark before he’s gone. Blade probably considers his arrogance as one of the fatal character flaws that led to the disaster. I suppose time both sands down ones edges and wears away everything but the most pure desires and goals, and everything else is in service of that goal. For blade the goal is his eventual death, for jingliu it’s to kill yaoshi, and altho jing yuan hasn’t mys-ed you could say for him it’s all in service of luofu
Li Xiangyi is the sun, Li Lianhua is the moon, but have you ever considered:
There’s not much difference between the sun and the moon, really, not in the end. The sun might be brighter, it might be more magnetic and all consuming and eye catching, so that you can’t help but stare at it even as its light blinds you, the moon might be paler and more damaged, it might be dimmer and easier to stare at for ages, but they’re both the same, in the end. They’re both beautiful yet so so distant, hanging in the sky more precious than any jewel you could want, but they’re unreachable, you could leap into the sky, you could throw yourself into the sea just to catch its mirage, but you’ll never touch them. That’s okay though, because even as you plummet from the sky or sink into the depths of the ocean, you can derive comfort from the way their light caressed you for an instant. And that makes it all worth it, doesn't it?

Lin Huai personally thinks that he is just an ordinary college school student. He likes science, he likes life, he likes people, and he is also really stubborn about using novels and TV series to make up for his common sense.
Apart from being a ghost in a dry well, who has devoured all the other ghosts in the city, and possessed the cold body of a college student, there’s nothing special about him.
Now, he just wants to live a peaceful life with some occasional small events.
Until he found out that the doors of the apartment he was supposed to rent were locked. On the long table in the lobby, there was a note that said: “There is a ghost among you, if you want to survive, you must find out who it is.”
Lin Huai: ? I really just wanted to rent a house.
“Little newbie, don’t be afraid.” A hand was placed on his weak and helpless shoulder, “I will protect you.”
Then, the guy called Chu Tianshu gave him a hearty smile.
“I’ll help you hammer that ghost.”
Lin Huai: (Softly smiles) ……Can I hammer you first?
Later, Lin Huai tried hard to prevent the ghost who was screaming and struggling to escape from him and used his shoulders to knock on the door with difficulty.
“Help! It’s escapi- ……No I mean it’s chasing after meee!”
about 无限流 recs: not really the most typical example of the genre and in a very different flavour to liehuo's interrogation of the same question but 《我的理想小镇》 has things to say about what it means to be human (and what it means to give that up)
I HAVE ANONS THAT READ 无限流???
ok so I am VERY intrigued by this recommendation, especially since I read 《魔尊也想知道》 by the same author and enjoyed it! for a 沙雕文 it had a lot more fun (meta)narrative-based worldbuilding than I expected, so I'm curious to see what this author will do with a more intensive genre like 无限流
