#i love xie lian so much

[wuxianxkexing]

Xie Lian really is a menace BUT I thinks it's cool that before it was revealed he intentionally cooks bad to honor his mother that we get the scene (in the show at least, I don't remember if it happened in the books) where he stops Banyue from eating the disaster he made and he cooks her something that is actually good enough to eat. He will really feed crimes against humanity to everyone else, including Hua Cheng, but not Banyue because that is his daughter and she needs to grow big and strong. She probably thinks that everyone else are just super picky eaters because Xie Lian's cooking is actually fine? But she's never had his "real" cooking aside from that very first time and she just thought it was a mistake, not par the course.

Honestly I wish that she didn't spend so much time in that jar (what is she even doing in there? Is it like a Pokeball or something?) and that we got to see more Dad Xie Lian with her. Xie Lian is fucking terrible with all of the other kids (he even makes poor Guzi eat his shitty cooking) but maybe he just always wanted a daughter and that is why he treats Banyue better?

I need you all to know that Heaven Official’s Blessing Vol 6 destroyed me.

✨Mild Spoilers✨

Like… we finally got Xie Lian and Hua Cheng to admit to each other that yep, it’s mutual! Woo! But then…

Then we’re confronted with a ~300 page flashback to the most terrifyingly heartbreaking and traumatizing time in Xie Lian’s past and I just… ugghhhh 😭

He was so very close to completely giving in to the agony and hate. And I felt that.

But by the end, he still manages to see a sliver of hope in the world and decides to pick himself back up and continue to save people as best he could.

Xie Lian is a certified Cinnamon Roll and a badass, and I can honestly say he’s one of my favorite fictional characters of all time.

Side note: Do we ever find out what that last mural depicts?? Did Hua Cheng paint something that was just so lovey dovey it was cringey? Or did he go all out and paint some straight up filthy nasty sex? Either way would honestly be hilarious but I’ve gotta know 😐

Those little illustrations of HuaLian will forever live rent free in my head 😞

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

Hua Cheng does not match Xie Lian's freak, he increases it. We are killing Lang Ying? No problem, I'm going to chop him up for you! We are going to commit crimes against humanity? No problem, let me search for the best piece of land to do that! You tried cooking food? Hmm, here's some suggestions to make it even more deadly!

to wuming, hua cheng, san lang;

happy birthday, dearest a-hong. 🦋💘

DESSERT LATER !!!!!!!! 🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹(WHACK WHACK WHACK)

Ok but, like, the way that Xie Lian and Hua Cheng are individually the strongest characters of their show, but when it comes to each other they're like daisies?? In the wind?

Like, Hua Cheng, right? One of, if not the strongest ghosts in the entire ghost realm. Always ready to fight. Always prepared. But the second Xie Lian appears

He is grabbed and just FLUNG across the room!

The fact that he didn't stick the landing makes me think he just ragdolled! Bruh ragdolled!

And Xie Lian!

~Just wisped away~

"Hello again :)"

And Xie Lian's got fast reflexes! Like, remember the dude from season one?

Not a problem. Not a single fuck to spare.

But this guy

"~Oh nooo~! I guess I'm slowly getting kidnaaapped!~"

Like, This is intentional! These are moments they both allow to happen!

That is adorable.

english translation book 5 baby we are in the ‘people assuming kid form hua cheng is xie lian’s son’ era 🔥🔥🔥 / follow for more hualian silliness

[toffeecoco1]

forever obsessed with the way hua cheng didn’t really intend to enter xie lian’s life. he just wanted to see him. check on him. was pleasantly surprised to have such a nice chat. i get the feeling that he just wanted to make true on the promise he made as a wisp—“I want to protect them. […] then I won’t let them know I’m protecting them either.”

then when they arrived at puqi shrine, he had every intention of leaving—he already did everything he intended to. it’s xie lian who invites him in and asks him to stay at the shrine.

I am working on a HuaLian animatic and wanted to share some of my favorite frames I've done the line art for so far. Going to do line art for all of them and then color it after. It's gonna take me like a year lol.

[illuminchim]

When I read this part… i haven’t been able to move on

Second part

[lesbians-for-muqing]

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.
