Wait... the war's over, Xianle has fallen and Xie Lian is called back to the heavens, and almost-certainly-Hong-er is getting into fights with the people burning down Xie Lian's temples? Huh. I thought for sure he died on the battlefield as a soldier...

#Me Talking #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #TGCF liveblogging #I am only *almost* certain this is Hong-er #because frequently this boy's *eyes* (plural) are mentioned and no mention of either being red #nor any mention of bandages to the face or even of his right eye being swollen shut #(there are in fact several mentions of his 'eyes' doing things that would mean both are open)#and I REALLY thought Hong-er died in battle... I have seen so many references or portrayals in fic of Hong-er dying on the battlefield #But on the other hand there's absolutely no way this isn't Hong-er is there?#Defending Xie Lian's temples. Painting Xie Lian for the temple. That interaction mirroring the one at the little shrine before the war.#The many things the kid said that DEFINITELY Hong-er or Hua Cheng or Wu Ming would say. 'You're the only real god' especially #The accompanying illustration 100% looks like Hong-er (it even has what might be some bandages under his hair and the right eye closed)#I'm so confused... I suppose I'll have to wait until either book four or the Cave of a Thousand Gods clears all this up
