i drew them... all of them...

[lilapplesheadcannons]

All MXTX novels are just about one outwardly put-together, inwardly screaming mess of a man and his emotional support war criminal.

[i-guess-im-into-this-now]

Shen Qingqiu: Some people are so beautiful that they are irresistible to both men and women... it's not gay to be attracted to them. There is literally nothing else you can do.

Xie Lian: You are so right. Or if you happen to have to kiss them to exchange spiritual energy, it doesn't mean you have feelings for one another.

Wei Wuxian: True. Also sometimes guy friends just need to get naked together and touch one another and make each other climax. Just normal friend stuff.

Shen Qingqiu: ....

Xie Lian: ....

Shen Qingqiu: ....exactly. You guys get it.

[disgracefulthings]

All of MXTX's protags are unreliable narrators, but in different ways

Shen Qingqiu is unreliable because he is unable to understand that the characters around him are people and see how much his actions have changed the plot

Wei Wuxian is unreliable because he has self worth issues and thinks the people who love him actually hate him

Xie Lian is unreliable because he is a cheeky motherfucker who purposely keeps information from the reader

I love how MXTX writes miscommunication/misunderstanding because it's not your typical miscom trope in where they only heard the bad parts of a convo, or where one of them is just really an extremely and irritatingly an overthinker. For example,

-Wei Wuxian misunderstands Wangji's intention to bring him back to Gusu because all his life he is loved by being useful, and if he is not being useful he is punished. He will never think that Lan Wangji loves him because he's never done anything useful for him. Lan Wangji misunderstood Wuxian's demonic cultivation because he never knew about the golden core transfer, and even then, he just wanted to protect him but he could never tell Wuxian that because he saw how his mother perished with the same promise of "love and protection"

-Luo Binghe just accepts that his Shizun hates him because he's a demon, yet what's confusing is that this Shizun told him that everyone is equal, be it demons or humans, so why is he especially despicable? Shen Qingqiu was just following the original novel in where Luo Bingge hates him, so that's how he interpreted all his actions. He is not aware that Luo Binghe's temperament was due to jealousy and heartbreak.

-Xie lian and Hua Cheng communicate very well. Even when they were pretending, even when the world is against their 'friendship', they knew each other's real intentions.

love how the MXTX protagonists have gotten progressively worse at cooking over time

it's like

Shen Yuan: not terrible. his biggest struggle is that he wasn't really culinary before he transmigrated, and since transmigrating he has very little idea of how an ancient kitchen works, so any disasters can mostly be attributed to that. would be perfectly fine making simple dishes in a modern kitchen.

Wei Wuxian: a capable cook, except for when it comes to seasonings. absolutely loses his mind at that point. if you do not hide the chili oil ALL OF IT will be going into the pot. has no ability to moderate spice levels for the preferences of others.

Xie Lian: almost lethally bad. just terrible. completely allergic to following a recipe. only one other person can eat his cooking without suffering and that guy's already dead.

Prediction for Book 4 Protagonist: actively just serves people poison on purpose.

[i-guess-im-into-this-now]

Mxtx plots

TGCF: a mastermind is behind all of this and must be stopped

MDZS: a mastermind is behind all of this and must be stopped

SVSSS: the male lead will lose his shit, kill everyone, and destroy reality as we know it if he doesn't receive... *checks notes* ...gay love.

[disgracefulthings]

Xie Lian: I married my soulmate, San Lang!

Wei Wuxian: My soulmate is Lan Zhan, and we got married too!

Shen Qingqiu: My soulmate is a pathetic rat man who is trashier than his own writing

Wei Wuxian: ...and you married him?

Shen Qingqiu: Gross no, I married his son

Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian: ????????
