I know it would contradict the themes of the novel for Han Yuan to be completely let off the hook, but it is so deeply tragic to me that the punishment he’s given is, essentially, to never be able to return home.

Sooo episode 27 boils down to mu sheng having The Worst time and mu yao/liu fuyi having The Best time. But based on that ending they're about to join the bad time club. As for miao miao, she's not having a good time, but it's not the worst. Yet. 🫠

The instant she passes out from blood loss, he's there. And he's holding her, and crying, and kissing the wounds all better. I AM NOT OKAY 😭 How I wish she had faked it, I wish she got to see this, how he's fighting so hard to seem like a monster in front of her, to keep her away, but he's really right there under the surface, the real person, the one she connects with, the one who cares.

"Right now, as he floated amongst the clouds and watched the caves and yards fade into distance, Cheng Qian's boggled heart suddenly emptied.... He realized that the hatred he'd considered as profound to him, was by all means unfounded."

Shout out to the ppl liking my liu yao stuff lately. Its thanks to y'all that I realized I didnt post this one on here.

[evilvillainapologist]

Now I’ve always been a staunch enemies-to-lovers kinda hoe, but reading Liu Yao I gotta admit, there is something about this dynamic where there is so much (non-sexual) intimacy long before there are any romantic feelings...

Hmmm

I might have to think about this a bit more closely.

[gaywarcriminals]

Getting emotional thinking about Han Muchun taking young qijiu as disciples. Shen Jiu yelling at Qi-ge not to trust this suspicious con artist, but Yue Qi has a good impression of him. Besides, he already bought their contracts, what more can they do? SJ isn't going to try to run if Qi-ge won't follow, so he begrudgingly follows along.

To SJ's surprise their shady "shifu" who looks like he could barely win against a fox brings them to a Real Legit Cultivation Sect (meager as it may be), feeds and clothes them, and doesn't even kick Shen Jiu out for trying to kill his horrible shixiong.

thoughts devolving into incoherent mash of YQY and SJ getting a good father figure, but qijiu curled together in their new house (when offered their pick they chose to live together) debating if they can trust this-- its too good to be real, there has to be a trick or a catch. But they keep being housed and fed and no one whips them and they can feel their cultivation developing under the guiding hand of an adult who doesn't want to harm them or even seem to want anything from them, and no one comes to take it away.

!! Will include some lgief spoilers !! I am so in love with lgief. It follows the typical villainess-capturing-the-unconquerable-character's-heart-isekai trope but it's so well done. Since I am still undeniably hooked with this series, I will be listing the things I took note of while watching. ( Reminder that the following comments are based on my opinions alone.) - First, the chemistry between the two main leads is top-notch. A sweet enemies-to-lovers done with justice by the actors. From their silly bickering to slowly falling in love and eventually having open mutual affections for one another. The development in their relationship was greatly paced, you can't help but melt over their growing trust for each other.

They didn't have a 'proper kiss-on-lips scene' but their forehead kiss felt way more intimate to me compared to the side couple's kiss scene. There's so much emotion with this interaction alone and I couldn't help but be touched.

Huge kudos to actors Esther Yu and  Ding Yuxi for portraying their roles so well and creating great chemistry for the romance of these two characters. - Next, speaking of good portrayal of roles, Ding Yuxi (actor of Ziqi), had such remarkable control over his facial expressions! (see latest reblog)

I think it added so much depth to Ziqi's character, making him very easy to love.

Same goes for Miaomiao! I can't imagine an actress who would suit her role more than Esther Yu! So lovely and refreshing, she feels so natural and the cuteness doesn't feel forced at all. - As for the plot itself, I really enjoyed realizing the twists in each mystery and seeing everything connect with the hints from the beginning to the end. The pacing didn't feel too fast or too slow, just right to keep the story moving. I also really like the usage of characters from previous arcs. - For the side couple, I like the nobility in Mu Yao's character, her willingness to stand with her loved ones and protect them along with her own virtues. I think she's a strong character with a great established ambition along with her flaws. - As for Liu Fuyi, however, I think he could've had more chances to show his emotional bonds with characters other than Mu Yao but it became a lost potential. He's alright, but I just couldn't find it in myself to have any attachment towards him compared to the other characters. He felt bland in comparison (and it's definitely not because of his calm demeanor), I personally think he just needed more silly self-centric moments to make him feel more like he's a person and not just a plot device. Overall, the drama was such a great binge! I wish I could watch it again for the first time. That's all!

Round 3, Match 2: Cheng Qian vs Jiang Cheng

Match 2 is between Cheng Qian (shixiong: Yan Zhengming) from Liu Yao: The Revitalization of Fuyao Sect vs Jiang Cheng (shixiong: Wei Wuxian) from Mo Dao Zu Shi

Propaganda under the cut

Cheng Qian:

Cheng Qian and Yan Zhengming end up together. Most of it is spoilers, but they're very cute! Yan Zhengming nicknamed him Tong Qian / Copper Coin

#some of yall didnt read 6yao and yall are missing out#bby cheng qian puppy crushing on his shixiong and beating up anyone who mockingly calls his shixiong princesse#cause thats his high maintenance princess thank you

#I NEED cheng qian to win#he went through so much to get that pillow princess shixiong dick

Jiang Cheng:

Clinged to WWX constantly for 7+ years, wanted to have WWX as his right hand man forever after becoming sect leader, cried after WWX left, cried when he discovered what WWX sacrificed for him, was TORN APART when it got explained to him that if they were more outwardly close knit, WWX might not have died

PROPAGANDA!! to start, i'm still very bitter about how fairy lost the sentient animal poll and i want to win this badly. very very badly. current stats are 50.6 in favour of jc but that's too less of a gap for me. jc should be winning this by a landslide, y'all hear me? anyways. starting with a class act, like the clown i am->

64.media.tumblr.com

a few links ( because i'm chengxian trash, as always and i'd love if poll-guy could copy paste them on the og post): one, two, three, four (gif), five, six, seven (gif), eight (thoughts on different wavelengths), the absolute circles of them saving each other, the fucking golden core reveal scene. golden scene reveal part 2, jiang cheng will always forgive wei wuxian

to start with. jiang cheng is literally the picture of "i knew from the moment i met you that i'd spend a lifetime forgiving you".

the earliest dynamic of jiang cheng and wei wuxian is jiang cheng giving away his dogs (the only gift his father has ever given him, btw) because wei wuxian is scared of the dogs. tis only the start of it.

his father very obviously prefers his shixiong over him, his mother berates him for not being as good as wei wuxian and tells him his inheritance is in danger, and his sister (in my opinion) has more care for him (visibly. maybe jiang yanli doesn't show it because jc is an emotionally complicated purple grape, maybe because jc doesn't need it, or wei wuxian is traumatised but that's my opinion). but still. still. Jiang Cheng loves Wei Wuxian. so much. jealousy is like. the most tame response i can think of. and jiang cheng is proud of wei wuxian, okay? he'd believe his big brother if he'd said anything. want proof? well, here you go-> link

to paraphrase the link:

Jiang Cheng had just lost his family, his home, and his very golden core, and his older brother - his brilliant older brother who could fix anything, who could sneak wine into Cloud Recesses and defeat an ancient turtle nearly-god and make Jiang Cheng share a smile when Jiang Cheng’s mother was disappointed and furious at both of them - His big brother smiled and said, “I can fix this.”And Jiang Cheng believed him then, and believed him three months later when Wei Wuxian crawled out of the Burial Mounds (just the second miracle in three months), and believed him every day of the next seventeen(?) years until the pieces were shoved into place for him to see.

also. the circle these two go in protecting each other. (gif set by @sandushengshou), the 'if one of us is to die, then, i beg, let it be me' that they both do for one another in a seemingly neverending loop of sacrifice. via this post a la my lovely @backtoyunmeng

64.media.tumblr.com

jiang cheng is a cannonically ruined woman archetype, justified via the countless posts you'll get in the top posts of jiang cheng tag. he keeps chenqing, wwx's flute in perfect condition even when he hates wei wuxian, even when wwx, if only indirectly, has a part in jiang yanli's murder and oof okay someone pointed out to him that he's known to have killed wei wuxian and he almost cries. he absolutely believes, with his whole heart, that wei wuxian lives even when the world is sure he doesnt. and it always read to me like, i'd know if he was dead. he's a part of my soul, so i'd know if he was dead. he can't be dead.

this is getting too long, so, to sum up, some absolute poetry by @jiangchengsjawline
