Hate to burst your bubble, but in order to stalk somebody, you actually have to know where they are.

can i see your necklace for a second, your highness? ^__^

[eyes-of-nine]

pls assume i'm thinking about this moment 24/7 all week every week

[mochipong]

You, and not the state of you

[waitineedaname]

now that i've finished tgcf i can make memes about all three books! i was tempted to put binghe at the absolute center because he could easily go into any quadrant at different points in his life, and both lwj and hua cheng could swing jock, but i think the most important thing is that wei wuxian is all four at once. somehow.

Extra that's not in the official English translation time: The fact that Hua Cheng canonically covered all the floors in his mansion in carpets because he heard a rumor that Xie Lian liked to run around barefoot is cute 💖

[yea-baiyi]

reading xie lian’s POV is actually hilarious once you realise xie lian isn’t oblivious at all, he basically guesses most things immediately, he’s just taken the veteran autism tactic of “it’s too much effort to figure out when it’s appropriate to mention that i know something, so i’ll just pretend i don’t know until someone says it aloud”. sometimes it turns into a bit. the truth might be embarrassingly obvious, but social cues are hard, and xie lian has infinite time to wait for the other person to blink first.

Hua Cheng as Rapunzel

hua cheng taught him that phrase

[huachengsromcom]

Hualian are SO SILLY —Imagine if they never went to the cave of ten thousand gods HOW would they have ever made it official?

Xie Lian sat at the dinner table one night 15 years from now: “GASP. Oh my god we’re dating!??”

Hua Cheng: “actually no, we’re married.”

[yes-i-read-sappho]

realizing that neither xie lian nor hua cheng possess a fully developed frontal lobe has radically changed my perception of them

Xie Lian being a bad cook is a matter of perspective.

Almost everyone's current perspective, but still. I do have a point to make here:

He has been around eating food for 800 YEARS. He has tried literally everything possible from the fanciest fare to the lowliest.

The reason Xie Lian's cooking is "Bad" is because he's trying to make a taste he hasn't had before. But he has had everything a normal person would eat. So he experiments. He overdoes things. He tries the bizarre, the unusual, just to have /something/ that won't bore him. Maybe something boiled down to nothing but ashes and then reconstituted is unpalatable for a normal person, but it's better for Xie Lian than having Chicken Noodle for dinner for the 5 millionth time.

My hot take is that one day Xie Lian is going to accidentally cook something incredible and completely alien that immortals can't get enough of. Who's gonna be laughing then? Definitely Hua Cheng, since he'll be the first one to eat it.
