"Isn't it easier to hate one person than a whole group?" Xie Lian shouldering the burden of hatred and selflessness 🦋 | Heaven Official’s Blessing S2 Ep10

The fact that Xie Lian is often unable to hide his pain from Hua Cheng, like when there's a needle stuck in his foot, is to me what shows most how deep their love for each other goes.

Xie Lian feels so safe with Hua Cheng, so understood, respected and loved, that even his body fully knows it and is unable to hide anything from Hua Cheng because it doesn't feel the need to.

Idk if you've ever seen it, but I imagine Machete coming to Vasco in his dreams like bambi's mom does to him in bambi 2. Just this beautiful golden field they played in, shining butterflies haloing Machete who isn't sickly, isn't in pain, a healthy beautiful dog but still undeniably himself. Looking at him with so much love and kindness, even though his mortal form is gone, he's been so truly blessed. Gives Vasco the strength to go on.

Love it when my favorite character is also my favorite to draw

[ID in plain and alt text: digital art page of xie lian drawn 3 times against a pastel yellow background with an orange grid. On the left is him with both arms behind his back looking sheepish, eyes upwards avoiding the camera with a guilty smile and sweat drops drawn next to him. On the top right is xie lian with a similar sheepish expression, hands waving in front of him. On the bottom right, he bends his neck and head forward looking to the side with a judgemental open mouthed frown, one pointer finger resting on his chin. End ID]

If you were truly as evil as you like to paint yourself, you would've done that. Nah. That's the trouble with you lot. You don't just see things in black and white. Sometimes, you've just gotta blur the edges.

SNIPPET OF THE KISS SCENE BECAUSE I CANT STOP SCREAMING

----------

Aiden ripped himself away, his lungs clamoring for air. “You– you’ll get sick,” he gasped desperately.

Her eyes were erratic. He’d never seen her like this before, a girl of unrestrained want and raw desire. It was a totally different side of her, a side he embraced entirely.

Her hands curled around the fabric of his t-shirt, just below his collarbone. “I don’t care,” she said and then their mouths met in a flurry of hungry kisses and it was pure bliss once more.

STOP I CANNOT- IM DYING- PLEASE SEND HELP

Everyone I know who's into Chinese dramas (sample size: 3) got into them through The Untamed/CQL. At the same time, the Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi fandom seems to be larger than the fandom for all other C-dramas combined. So I'm curious about people (in an English-language fan space like this)'s relationship with C-dramas!

When the story is over. When evil is defeated. When he's happily married. Xie Lian BETTER get head and breakfast in bed every single morning for the rest of his immortal existence.

Doctor Who Series 9 is kinda peak yeah Maybe I'll color this in fully, who knows

[samofmine]

maybe i'm just a sad lil shit that needs to make everything extra depressing but. just consider. sam only figuring out he's in love with dean after he dies. no, actually, in the moment he dies. right then and there. he's closer to him than he's been since they were younger, sharing dean's last breath with him, and in the moment he feels like he's the one about to die and he feels dean's heart slowing to a stop and his features softening as if he's just falling asleep and he thinks i want to kiss him.

shit.

i want to kiss him? what?

and then dean is gone, completely gone, and the pain takes over everything and he can't really think or feel anything past it.

but give it 2 to 3 days, sam still feeling lost and trying to figure out who he is without his brother, for real this time, so he allows himself to think about him. about them. and he remembers wanting to kiss him.

and, yeah, that's when he realizes he loved dean way more than he was supposed to, or even allowed to.

that makes him suffer even more, the aching sadness now wrapped with guilt, and longing, and regret, and all that could've been but he didn't realize he wanted it to be in time. and would it matter if he had? would that change anything? did dean ever feel the same? would he just hate him if he knew?

sam will never know.

Realizing Xie Lian got his (bad) cooking skills from his mother - as they were royalty and did not know how to cook, their cooking skills are more cooking ✨️feelings✨️

Realizing that Xie Lian's dishes are all extravagantly named just as his mother named her dishes, and she did so because all dishes in the palace were given a name and just because they're not in a palace and fine dining, why should food naming conventions stop?

Realizing that while Xie Lian's terrible cooking and dish names may be funny, they're also a reflection of his love for his mother and the way he keeps her memory alive.

Beautiful, dark humor at its finest (and most painful)
