I want to talk about unconditional forgiveness and how crucial it is for Xie Lian to have someone who offers it to him with no strings attached.
Throughout Xie Lian's life, he experiences numerous falls from grace, each one more devastating than the last. He goes from being a beloved crown prince and a renowned god to a figure of scorn and bad luck. The weight of his past and the suffering he has endured often make him question his own worthiness and ability to protect others.
Which is why, for Xie Lian, Hua Cheng's forgiveness is a lifeline. Knowing that there is someone who believes in him, no matter what, allows Xie Lian to forgive himself and move forward. In a world where divine beings are often portrayed as infallible, we see by the end, that pretty much every god has their own flaws and that even those with immense power are not immune to making grievous errors in judgment.
I think Hua Cheng’s forgiveness also symbolizes a deeper, transformative love. It’s a love that goes beyond mere acceptance; it’s a commitment, a promise, a vow to stand by Xie Lian no matter what, and that's what makes his love so rare and beautiful. It's such a stark contrast to the judgment Xie Lian has faced from his people and other gods. While his own friends basically turned their backs on him, Hua Cheng remained his most loyal and devoted believer. His cheerleader, for a lack of better words. Hua Cheng embodies the truest form of compassion– understanding and embracing someone wholly.
Hua Cheng's love and acceptance allow Xie Lian to feel seen and understood in a way that no one else has ever provided. This kind of forgiveness is not about overlooking mistakes or pretending they didn't happen; rather, it's about recognizing the entirety of a person's journey and choosing to embrace them regardless.
Hua Cheng's acceptance allows Xie Lian to be vulnerable about his deepest fears and struggles. It also gives him the ability to ask for something he needs for himself:
"All right... don't say any more. I get it... but... but don't be like this, all right? San Lang? I... I've borrowed so much spiritual power from you that I haven't repaid. And I'm not done telling you all the things that I wanted to say; there's still so much. It's been so long since anyone listened to me talk. Won't you stay? Don't.. don't do this. I won't be able to take it. Twice, it's happened twice already-I really don't want there to be a third time!"
In this moment, Xie Lian’s plea reveals how extremely isolating his life has been. He has been perpetually misunderstood, and I believe that even before his first ascension, he has always felt profoundly alone. Throughout his life, Xie Lian has been surrounded by people who either see him through the lens of his past or view him as a mere symbol; a divine god, so therefore flawless and someone beyond approach. It strips away his humanity and the complexities of his true self, unable to be seen as a person with real feelings and imperfections. Even his Feng Xin and Mu Qing put him up in a pedestal, and no matter what happened, no matter how understandable it was, everyone still left him in the end.
Then, to have someone say they understand his everything, from his wisdom to his foolishness, and then also wholeheartedly support him and unconditionally love him? That they never, ever left him, that they've always been there, constant and unchanging in their love, in their devotion? That must have felt life-changing to him. Something groundbreaking and pivotal.
He is essentially begging for the one person who understands him completely—and who accepts him unconditionally despite everything—not to leave him. When Xie Lian begs Hua Cheng to stay, it is not just a request for physical presence but a desperate need for emotional reassurance and acceptance. For Hua Cheng is Xie Lian's safe haven where he can express his deepest fears and unspoken desires, a place of solace and affirmation that he has long been missing from everyone else.

jealous!ford x reader headcanons
pre relationship:
depending on his current mood and state of mind, his reaction to someone showing romantic interest in you ranges from:
1) heartache,
feels like he doesn't deserve you, that he isn't good enough for you, he's not your type and also he is too old for you
self-esteem on the floor, feels like a kicked puppy seeing you flirt with someone else
over 2) mild annoyance; 'what's so interesting about them?'
what could they possible give you? why are you even talking to them, you already said you aren't interested in them
to 3) almost hostile towards the other person
all in all just one big mess of feelings
he's not good with them okay
confused and frustrated by his emotions; spends a lot of time overthinking them, in order to rationalise and understand them
too insecure and doubtful to tell you about his feelings, but too easily agitated to not be jealous when someone comes up to ask for your number
tells himself he has no right to feel that way, and yet...
in relationship:
protective and maybe a little possessive. maybe a bit more than a little. okay, a lot
definitely a lot more than he shows
(related to the first points pre-rls) very rare reaction: amused. god complex activated. who do they think they are? do they really think you would be interested in them? tch, please.
when he sees a guy flirting with you, he will come up behind you, put his arm around your waist and stare the guy down
the scene where he intimidates the bus driver, just to any shady guy who won't leave you alone.
insecurities, so soo many of them
'You could have anyone you want. Why would you wanna be with me?' *
that man was bullied his entire youth, never had a proper relationship and holds so much trauma and shame - it's the glue that holds him together at this point
ford is deeply afraid to loose you
through something supernatural or otherwise dangerous yes, but also trough some stupid mistake on his side and interpersonal problems
he is afraid he will mess up one day. then you will start seeing him as someone not worthy of your love and find someone better
it is one constant battle between his low self-worth and his god complex/admittedly somewhat inflated ego
-------------------------------------------------- thank you for reading <3 reblogs are appreciated
a/n: longer piece with this trope will follow soon(ish), stay tuned :P poor ford, doesn't know how to feel his feelings appropriately (same dude, same) * 'jealous' by eyedress
#apologies if this is all over the place or too repetitive i jumped between the paragraphs a lot#deleted and moved a lot of points too#i'm pretty sure i am missing some#also got a little off topic i feel like...#gravity falls#i've stared too long at these so fuck it imma just post it#gf#stanford pines#ford pines#stanford pines x reader#stanford x reader#my writing#cs#gf headcanons#headcanons#gravity falls headcanons#god i love the bus scene#both ford and stan are so *chefs kiss*

(Sunset!) Sunset!
Have you always been alone?
(Sunset!) Sunset!
Have you never loved again?
Some design sketches for Sunset, the Witch of Fire, the Flame of the West. A leaf in the wind, she travels from town to town with her trusty steed Shimmer, bringing trouble wherever they go.
#mlp#sunset shimmer#making lots of changes to her character to make her different from starlight and less repetitive#she's much more jaded and brooding#and instead of being a villain who's redeemed she's a morally grey vaquera wandering the American West trying to do good by others#my art#fanart#1920s au#the grand galloping 20s#this design is not finalized btw she'll have a fullbody soon like everyone else i just got too excited designing her and needed to post#TONS of details about her character I have planned that I haven't revealed yet. Sunset is definitely gonna be a fav of mine in this au (:<

#poll#polls#tumblr polls#i'm curious bc ive thought about it a lot and want to see what other people think#before you say other i said 'of these' and you can always put that in the tags#to me its the embodied investment of time#and the necessity and prevalence of repetition ie rewatching reinterpreting restarting reopening replaying#that make these the most out of all of them#okay bye love u

Bell's Hells: [Shares opinions on a thing they disagree on.]
Ashton: [Joins the conversation and says something, probably angrily because hey, it's Ashton.]
A certain segment of the CR fandom: I just hate how he talks over everyone, trying to make every discussion about what he thinks or about his pain.
Bell's Hells: [Continues to share their opinions.]
Ashton: [Again joins the conversation to disagree.]
A certain segment of the CR fandom: I hate how he prevents the others from speaking!
Bell's Hells: [Continues to share their opinions unimpeded.]
Ashton: [Leaves the room because they're suffering from 2 points of exhaustion and a migraine and know they are prone to say something without filter and unnecessarily start a fight with their friends.]
A certain segment of CR fans: See! So selfish and self-absorbed! Has to swan off in a dramatic way just to keep the focus on himself!
Bell's Hells: [Continues having their discussion, absolutely not focused on Ashton at all because, you know, they're talking about the end of the world and maybe they understand what's going on with their friend.]
File under things that are a fandom problem not a story or a character problem, because Bell's Hells seem fine with Ashton as they are. You all do know that's it's fine to say you don't like a character, right? That is allowed. But then maybe realize that perhaps everything they do is not horrible, it's just that everything they do reminds you that a) they exist, and b) that you don't like them.
#critical role#bells hells#c3e108#ashton greymoore#There's a lot of great commentary to be had about Ashton and their behavior - lots of valid criticisms#But the amount of criticism of Ashton for doing things not actually reflected on screen is amazing#It would be hilarious if it weren't so repetitive

no okay I just saw suzume ( already tagged this post for spoilers but this is a warning that they lie ahead for anyone who needs it ) and I can’t stop thinking about how none of their goals could have been accomplished without help from total strangers like
how many long stretches of journey were there, where they never would have made it in time to close the doors before it was too late, were it not for strangers giving and repaying kindness alike?
even from that very first door, it’s implied that if Suzume hadn’t jumped in to help close it, Souta likely wouldn’t have been able to at all. Suzume could have listened to him and run—she chose to help him instead
while Suzume and Souta were the only ones with the ability to actually see and do anything hands on about the worm, it was the kindness of strangers willing to lend a hand that made it possible for them to prevent disaster
#suzume spoilers#suzume#ravens ravings#also ngl looking at souta like. new howl just dropped#BUT YEAH I know this post probably reads as a lil repetitive in saying the point but the kindness people possess means a lot to me

Reading The Song of Roland and y'know it's nice to read an Ancient, Respected Classic that's just. Trash. A jingoistic action movie. The 11th century equivalent of 300, a historical war depicted in a wildly inaccurate and propagandistic way as an excuse for buff macho warriors to face off against poorly-researched stereotypes of foreign enemies and then kill them in spectacularly violent and improbable ways. You want depth? Nuance? Timeless themes that still speak to the common human experience nearly a thousand years later? Fuck you. You'll take Charlemagne's nephew cutting a Saracen in half with his sword and you'll like it.
#i kind of want a film adaptation that plays it completely straight to the point of parody starship troopers-style#but given how large the unironic fash following would be i'm not sure you could make it in good conscience#i also want to see a sung performance because a lot of these repetitive parts probably work a lot better that way#idle musings#walrus reads old books#walrus consumes media

hi!! what was the name of that dog trainer(s?) you mentioned watching before getting hugo? i'm considering a puppy and want to be able to train this little dude like a boss TIA :]
omg I was watching McCann Dogs!! I watched so so so much of their training vids before bringing Hugo home + during his puppyhood and it helped so much. these are some of the ones that I really Studied early on to give me a blueprint of how to start from ground zero w my boy
#it was good to have goalposts for the first couple months#and the ones where they take you through the first day of bringing a puppy home were amazingly helpful#they're also the reason why i was able to crate train hugo#sergle answers#it is nice to have it broken down bc it feels like there's so much to learn but when they're babies you're really doing like#very foundational skills and it's lots of simple repetition and it's super rewarding#having them learn their response to name and learning what Yes means (or the clicker if you do clicker training)#bc if they know their name and they know Yes then learning everything else is easier#it feels really really good to teach all the skills w positive reinforcement
