#an le (tgcf)

[khattikeri]

underrated favorite scene in tgcf is when xie lian hides hua cheng in his bed with him while jun wu is literally in his room lecturing him. that is PEAK parent grounding their kid complete with sitcom suspicions that the kid snuck their boyfriend into the house

I genuinely believe that one of the main reasons Xie Lian never ended up like Jun Wu is because Jun Wu orchestrated the fall of Xian Le. From Xie Lian's first banishment to his second- Jun Wu was there as White no Face blantently messing with things right in front of Xie Lian. All the times people hurt him could probably be traced back to White no Face and he never hid it. So while he was crushing Xie Lian's faith in humanity- he was also giving Xie Lian a direct excuse for those people's actions. Like that people won't do that if they have no option. And the Bamboo man was the proof that Xie Lian was looking for that people weren't just inherently bad. And that it was all White no Face's influence.

Basically, the main difference is that Wuyong fell because of man vs nature while Xian Le fell because of man vs man and that made all the difference.

Hua Cheng

After seeing the vast sea, no water can compare;

Scattered from the peak of Mount Wu, there are no other clouds...

Xie Lian

Many times I've passed through the flowers, yet I spare them no glance;

For half my fate is in cultivation, and the other half, in you.

Yuan Zhen (poem) written by Hua Cheng and Xie Lian in Book 3

I love how each verse of this poem fits beautifully with the one that writes it...

Happy Birthday, Xie Lian!

[theleafmovesthebeef]

my fav part of tgcf is that hua cheng would've been fine with being xie lian's rug, like the rug that u use to step out of the shower, he would've been so happy just being that

LBGTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 3, Wave 1, Poll 12

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included. 

Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.

Joly-Les Misérables

Qualifications:

Joly is a hypochondriac and uses a cane. He is in a poly relationship (this isn’t explicitly explicitly canon, but it’s fairly implied in a text from the 1800s)

if i remember correctly he's canonically a cane user (and while canes were often for fashion back then i'm fairly sure he needs his?) and also he's queer by virtue of a) all of les amis being queer and b) whatever's going on between him and bossuet and musichetta

Propaganda:

What’s cooler than an 1800s queer disabled character? Joly (aka Jolllly) is a hypochondriac and uses a cane, and is complimented well by his accident prone boyfriend. The two also have a relationship with them another woman. Despite his constant worrying, Joly is quite happy go lucky and fun, and he is a dedicated member of the revolution and very caring friend.

HE'S A YOUTHFUL MALADE IMAGINAIRE! the day before he's expecting to die (in the june rebellion) he is worried about a cold :( he is also a very happy guy and considering the book is called 'the sad guys' that is commendable

The qualifications and propaganda paragraphs correspond, @satancheeto is the first submitter, @mxcrowave is the second.

Hua Cheng-Heaven Official’s Blessing / Tian Guan Ci Fu

Qualifications:

Hua Cheng is the main love interest in Heaven Official's Blessing, a ghost who has been in love with the hero Xie Lian for over 800 years. As if being dead isn't enough, he once clawed out his own eye in order to save a group of humans from marauding ghosts shortly before his ascension to Ghost King.

Propaganda:

Sexy pirate ghost king swag. Gay for His Highness.

Fun fact: between when he was submitted and when this poll was written the mods both read all of TGCF. Also low key I feel like gay for his highness is a little bit of an understatement.

[happypeachsludgeflower]

You know the part of Xie Lian’s history where he was the preceptor of Yong’an? And he was invited to the Gilded Banquet by the king but originally decided not to go and only went at the last minute causing him to be late and show up after the massacre had happened??

Okay so an au where Xie Lian decided to go to the banquet earlier and arrived with his majesty the king and was there when An Le started the slaughter.

The sheer drama and identity porn shenanigans possible here are endless. Imagine a scene where somehow it comes out that Xie Lian is the fallen god of the Xianle people, that HE’S their crown prince that pleased the gods.

Anyway, yea, the glorious and messy identity reveal is just bringing me a ridiculous amount of joy.

Who knows, maybe saving the Yong’an royal family would have him ascending for the third time, earlier.

Thinking about how he whines and starts to struggle at the overstimulation. His bindings fighting against the chair as you sit across from him watching him and giving him directions while he’s forced to fuck the flesh light you also tied down.

“Did I say you could stop?”

You’re voice was full of sticky sweetness and venom.

He would start to hiccup as he began to beg. His twitching cock, already milked from the previous four orgasms, you’d sweetly slid in a vibrating plug and turned it up whenever he’d stop.

He was becoming dumb as he was tied down and forced to fuck the toy. Drool escaping his pathetically sweet lips, sweat dripping down his chest to his stomach, and the way his eyes began to become blown out as he followed your commands.

Crossing your legs reaching for you book you continued to read where you left off with nothing but the sounds of him blabbering incoherently, whine like the pathetically sweet man he was, and begging through tears to cum…

Kaveh, Thoma, Neuvillette, Venti, Kirishima, Izuku, Choso, Ijichi, Dazai, Poe, Kunikida, Shoto, Bokuto, Atsumu, Sugawara, Kageyama, Hinata, Ushijima, Oikawa, Xian Le, Vulcan, Lt. Hinawa,

new gift from san lang just dropped

[makedonsgriva]

anyway I had a thought today where crown prince xie lian is younger than everyone else.

He is probably 6-7 when he gets mu qing and feng xin (who are 16-17) and they coddle him a lot. Basically XL is their baby brother and baby prince wants to be as strong as his older brothers because they are both so cool!!!

baby lian meets hong-er on the streets one day and please gege can’t we keep him??? I don’t have friends!! You two don’t count cause you’re not my age. Please just please!!!!

So that’s how the trio becomes a quartet and feng xin and mu qing are not only the body guards of the prince but also baby sitters of two very unruly kids who are never up to any good

(They are not getting paid enough to deal with them) (it’s a damn good thing they love the fuck outta those kids)

anyways XL starts his training and ofc Honger tags along. they grow up training together, challenging each other, competing but falling in love at the same time and yeah celibacy is easy for XL except every time he sees HC his thoughts go haywire

When XL ascends, he has three generals by his side.

When he falls, he has two because honger died in the war

And XL truly thinks he is to blame. He went from being the darling of the heavens to someone who has now lost everything. he can’t bear the loss of his beloved

(And he never even got to confess)

Ofc HC keeps him company as a ghost fire because he’d never let his beloved be alone. (XL does not know who the ghost fire is because knowing the love of his life is not at peace would hurt him immeasurably) FX and MQ try their best to stick with him but circumstances deteriorate and they are forced out of his life once again

although this time, MQ does stand up for XL in front of the 33 gods (and gets subsequently banished from heavens). In the end, he still has to leave XL. FX gets forced out of his life after the entire sword ordeal and XL’s subsequent mental breakdown.

Unknown to XL tho they are still both watching over him from a distance because ain’t no way they are leaving their baby bro like this

When XL enters his calamity era, they both lose their minds and are trying their best to subtly stop XL from doing the worst things but THAT STUPID FUCKING GHOST ALWAYS FOLLOWING HIM AROUND WILL NOT STOP ENABLING EVERY BAD DECISION XL TAKES

fx and mq are losing their minds. when xl lies in the streets for three days, they try their best to disguise themselves and go help him but that NAMELESS GHOST!!! He does not let them!! “Your highness would be heartbroken when he realizes you two have seen him in such a state and he’d never forgive himself and you two suck at disguising yourselves anyways~”

wu ming does end up getting dispersed but not before XL realizes his true identity and absolutely loses his mind with grief because how did he manage to lose his loved one not once but TWICE and both the times it was HIS FAULT

He gets banished from heavens again because ofc

knowing xl won’t be able to cope fx and mq finally reveal themselves. xl can feel all ashamed of himself for his actions it’s fine they are not leaving him alone again and they will help him heal and move on

Except one night when the two aren’t paying attention, XL ends up running away. He can’t bear being around them, knowing they know what he did and how he caused honger’s death twice.

(fx and mq never blamed him at all. They were just heartbroken and guilt stricken for not being able to do enough for their darling brother)

Cue 800 years of searching.

This time when XL ascends, he is greeted by two powerful generals who have been reduced to a tearful mess because THEY FINALLY HAVE XL BACK WITH THEM!!! THEIR BABY BRO IS SAFE

they accompany him to mount Yu Jun as themselves and HC comes to XL’s aid

he does not reveal his identity but XL just knows this man is special

FX and MQ then tell him about Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the elusive ghost king who challenged 33 gods and crushed them all

(But he was super nice to both of them and it kinda freaked them out)

When XL meets San Lang. He knows. He just knows it’s Honger and feels like he can finally breathe again because in those 800 years he never once stopped loving him but he waits for him to reveal his identity to him because what is stopping him from telling him and fx and mq?

HC, meanwhile, is sort of embarrassed to meet them, not sure if they would be able to accept this new form of his. He missed them all dearly but he is just not able to move past his self doubts.

It is not until the cave of 10k gods that it revealed who HC really is and instead of FX and MQ freaking out, there is a tearful reunion

Um yeah. A thought was thunked. Bon Appetit

Okay I suddenly find An Le’s reasoning kinda justified

Bitch this is the thing about this national bullshit

Those two assholes? They weren’t anywhere even close to being born when the drought in Yong An and the war happened

Yet this hatered that should’ve long passed was cultivated throughout the generations

But no history is an excuse for discrimination

shhh .. it’s nap time! 😴
