It's been 2 days since I finished TGCF and I still have book hangover... What a nice story.

In the end the White Clothed Calamity arc wasn't as sad as I thought, it was one of my fav parts of the plot and evil Xie Lian... uff, that man did things to my brain.

I'm gonna read MDZS next✨️

The biggest stopping block for managing the heavens it that literally all of them are clinically insane. Tbh just get jw to keep doing it with meimei as his babysitter.

my thoughts on some possible heavenly emperor candidates postcanon in no particular order:

xie lian. lmfaooooo no way in hell is he taking the job. you couldnt pay him to do it. he's out of here

pei ming. very good because its very funny. i sincerely think pm could make a decent heavenly emperor. he could do the job just fine. however everyone would rather kill themselves and him than have him on the throne

lang qianqiu. hysterical to put him in charge. the best part is that i think he's the best option. he's ruled over a nation before and even managed to do so pretty successfully. what better way to hit this guy with some character growth than putting him in charge of a kid, a ghost lantern, AND the entire heavenly realm. hired

yushi huang. horrible choice. she doesn't know how to rule and doesn't want to

ling wen. the conundrum is that the next emperor can't be a civil god, because of all the civil gods the obvious choice is ling wen, and no one could do the job better than she could. but ling wen cannot be emperor because if someone tried to make her manage the whole court and do paperwork for that on top of her civil god job she'd try to do a jun wu 2

he xuan. by far the funniest choice. a secret he xuan clone becoming emperor is incredibly funny, the actual he xuan becoming emperor somehow is also funny but not as much. but a hx clone getting voted in and moreover doing a good job... pure gold. hired hired hired

fengqing. package deal you can't have just one of them. incapable of doing the job. burning of the heavenly capital TWO!

democracy. i understand the urge to get rid of the emperor position postcanon however this would lead to everyone just fucking murdering each other within like a week so it couldn't happen. i'm sorry

Upcoming (?) cdramas I am interested in - top 30

The reason there is a question mark is because with cdramas you never know when one will be shelved forever (due to topic or an actor being in trouble) or when the makers just decide to keep it on the shelf for...reasons (there is a drama premiering on Dec 10 that was completed in 2018!). But with that caveat, here we go. At least a couple of these are bound to air!

TGCF headcanons to free up storage space in my brain

Some of these might go against canon but so does every same sex ship that isn't hualian so. Bear with me.

♥️ Hua Cheng is significantly lighter than he looks. The man weighs like two and a half twigs + whatever mountain of jewelry he has on that day. The only person who knows this is Xie Lian because no one else has had the audacity to try lifting a calamity.

♥️ Hua Cheng worked on his glowup so hard he forgot how to do casual. He pulls up to 7AM breakfast in complete ghost king regalia and a full beat.

♥️ Yin Yu is actually pretty content working for Hua Cheng most of the time. Sure, he's melodramatic the way only romantic era poets could afford to be but the pay is good and the lack of coworkers is a plus.

♥️ He Xuan on the other hand HATES IT. Being a spy is interesting work but after the 16th time he's had him describe Xie Lian's exact same outfit + hair + pretty smile + voice + general mood + if he seems lonely + if he's been eating well in excruciating detail he started contemplating if it's possible for a water demon to drown himself.

♥️ Xie Lian's straw hat is a spiritual device. It's the same one a man gave him before his second ascension, and it was such an emotionally charged moment the hat accidentally took on power. It doesn't do much but it's indestructible and waterproof.

♥️ Feng Xin has dimples.

♥️ Despite not having talked much, Shi Qingxuan considers Hua Cheng a good friend. She saw his true form for the first time and was like "Thank goodness I'm not the only one serving cunt here 🙏" and has been harassing him for his tailor's address since.

♥️ Pei Ming has had one (1) stable relationship that's stood the test of time, and that is his on and off friends with benefits deal with Shi Wudu. The man is already married to That Grind🔥💯 so there is zero pressure for him to get hitched, therefore he doesn't feel the need to run.

♥️ Shi Wudu is lowkey transphobic to Qingxuan sometimes all while looking like the most androgynous diva to ever exist. He wears blue eyeliner and acrylics. No he does not see the irony.

No problem at all! I am absolutely in love with Yin Yu’s character (best character in TGCF hands down)

I adore his character as well, and I love seeing other people’s opinions and headcanons for him

We stan Yin Yu in this blog

thinking about yin yu (again) and

i think we have got to recognize collectively that yin yu is almost definitely much more terrifying than he seems

“oh but he’s so sweet and quiet and barely has a presence!” IS NO ONE CONSIDERING ALL OF THE THINGS HE COULD DO WHILE NO ONE IS LOOKING?

i love yin yu so much and that’s why i believe he could be terrifying and people could be super afraid of him

he helps hua cheng run ghost city, shouldn’t the ghosts fear and respect him just as much as they fear and respect hua cheng?

besides, we mainly only see him interact with the people who are basically his bosses, ofc we don’t see him kicking ass. but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t and he can’t!

anyways i’m not all the way finished with book 7 so this might be totally wrong but I LOVE YIN YU AND BELIEVE HE DESERVES TO BE SCARY thanks for coming to my tedtalk LMAO

Chapter 12 / 18 "Interlude I: Yin Yu"

So this is 1 of 3 mini-chapters that I'm gonna post on Non-Wednesdays that are from Non-Hualian points of view. Our first one is gonna give us a peek at what's going on with Yin Yu!

[toaster-fire-art]

whoa it’s march? Have a redraw of one of my favorite things, my Yin Yu design pose (i guess that kinda what it is?)

Close up and comparisons below too. Old is on the left (here), new is on the right. 

There’s not a whole lot of change but I feel more comfortable in my and how i draw but I’m still stuck figuing out some things. Enough about my rambles mwah mwah thank you all for your love! I don’t have any idea how to put it into words but aasjodvbeivboevfb3 yk? makes me so happy lmao.

[smallest-moon]

ITS GONNA BRING US YIN YU RIGHT????

YIIIIIINNNNNN YUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

[yeyayeya]

To the TGCF fan artists that draw Yin Yu with a mole under one of his eyes

Thank you

Yin yu tried to speak up the first 3 meetings of overworked immortals support groups but in classic fashion was unsuccessful. He finally manages to say something a month in and nearly gets murdered for it. Hua cheng still makes him go to the next couple of meetings because "yin yu you need friends this is the fifth time you've asked me if you can work 80 hours this week normally I don't care what you do in your free time but that was before you passed out in the scheduled xie lian indoctrination time"

The others let him show up still as long he 1. Pays for some of the drinks 2. Puts in a good word if they ever want to switch sides 3. Ling wen who's boss also has scheduled xie lian rants (though in very different ways) feels just slightly bad for him.

[hualianisms]

im so hyped for donghua yin yu's debut next week

[mccromy]

Hua Cheng: You dare come here, sniffing around my cabbage patch, to steal my prized cabbage?

Xie Lian: Ah, San Lang...

Hua Cheng: I can't believe it. A mutt at my door, demanding to see my only daughter (Yin Yu), to steal him away, to take him from my home?? From the safety of his cabbage patch??

Xie Lian, laughing: San Lang, leave the poor boy alone.

Quan Yizhen:...

Hua Cheng: What can you offer, boy? What can you bring to this household that my beloved, lovely husband and I can't bring on our own?

Quan Yizhen: Grandchildren.

Xie Lian:...

Hua Cheng:...

Hua Cheng: You make a compelling argument.

[sillygoofyqueer]

I need Yin Yu as a mother to He Xuan. Yeah, yeah, 'He Xuan is older than Yin Yu' BUT NO. IF YIN YU CAN LOOK AFTER HUA CHENG, HE CAN LOOK AFTER HE XUAN.

Think about it. He Xuan is rarely seen, but we know that he has to have some form of contact with Hua Cheng. I think it'd be funny as fuck if this contact is through Yin Yu, who pops by every couple of weeks for a report.

At first, that's all it is. For the first year or so, they have a very small, very formal relationship.

Then Yin Yu accidentally comes around when He Xuan is out. Obviously, he still needs the report, so he starts looking around and is appalled by everything. The random papers scattered everywhere, dirty plates left on the floor, RAW MEAT half eaten and then left to rot.

There seems to be no room that can be classed as He Xuan's private chambers - the closest is what Yin Yu labels He Xuan's 'rage room', filled with statues and paintings of Shi Wudu, but all trashed and ripped apart with what looked like claws, perhaps an axe, and very determined fangs.

Of course, by the time He Xuan is back, everything is in order and suddenly tidy, and he's getting cooked food shoved into his hands by a scolding Yin Yu, who is very used to dealing with Hua Cheng when he gets like this. However, He Xuan seems to be that but times ten, because Hua Cheng can be scolded into taking care of himself through “do you think your beloved god will want to see you if you're like this??”, but He Xuan only seems to care about his pets.

So, Yin Yu strong arms He Xuan into allowing himself to be taken care of and YES, he may be a bit protective of the ghost king that becomes a stroppy child the moment he's told to do something as heinous as take a bath.

At first, He Xuan is baring his teeth and threatening the other man's life, but he can't hurt Yin Yu (Hua Cheng would beat him dead). By the end of it, he just gets exasperated and reluctant and maybe a bit pleased at the care.

Hua Cheng finds amusement in this, because he enjoys reminding Yin Yu about He Xuan's capabilities to try and remind Yin Yu that he should probably not treat He Xuan like a child, just to receive a “you try to get that man into bed on time and tell me to treat him like a fully grown man��. Nobody can treat He Xuan the way Yin Yu does. Yin Yu is the kind of person to subtly threaten Shi Qingxuan like a mother would. "You hurt my baby boy and you'll know about it"

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
