“August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.”

The Gossip in Xianle must have been so wild and so juicy literally every character that we know that came from Xianle is full of judgement, side eyes and highly fluent sarcasm I know the Xianle Court must have been like an episode of desperate housewives.

tgcf quotes that'll make u inhale ice shards

“only after having met you did I rediscover that it’s such a simple thing to be happy.”

“to some, the mere existence of a certain person in this world is, in itself, hope.”

“there was a period of time in my life that wasn’t easy, and during that time, I’d constantly think that, should someone witness the me who rolled in the dirt, unable to get up, yet still love me for who I was, that’d be great.”

“If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you burn after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. but I know you wouldn’t allow it.”

“something like a genuine heart is made to be trampled.”

“to watch with your own eyes your beloved be trampled and ridiculed while unable to do anything - that’s the worst suffering in the world.”

“to me, the one basking in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. what matters is you, and not the state of you.”

“those who have known each other for decades can become strangers in a day. we met by chance and we may part by chance. if we like each other, then we shall continue to meet; if we don’t, then we shall part. there’s no banquet in the world that doesn’t come to an end, so I’ll say what I want to say.”

“I will fight for what I don’t have. I will change fates I don’t possess. my fate is up to me, not the heavens!”

“I might not be able to decide whether the road is easy or not, but whether I walk it is entirely up to me.”

I love identity reveals with Shang Qinghua and Mobei, even with Binghe but I desperately so desperately want to know what Mu Qingfangs reaction was to knowing that everything in the world was created by Qinghua and how this guy is the one that made almost everything be cured the way it was

Heaven Official’s Blessing: Vol. 2

Finished the 2nd volume yesterday and I’m obsessed. I started volume 3 today and I’m so excited to see more of their backstory! Here’s some of my favorite illustrations.

i genuinely can’t stop thinking about this scene. fxmq still standing near xie lian even though they could have stepped away from him even before everyone was dismissed. and once they were told to leave they didn’t go immediately, they hesitated. and then mu qing leaves first, followed by feng xin, both of them looking disappointed to go but what other choice do they have and all three together again but they can’t fix the past and this is no doubt a harsh reminder of everything that had happened. god.

[notyixiangs]

i’m thinking about mu qing saving feng xin from the fire all the time. do you think mu qing runs through the heavenly capital frantic and desperate, heart caught in his throat and burning coil in his stomach, all whilst the buildings are writhing like broiled liquid around him but he’s simultaneously confused as to why he even *cares* so much about a man who’s been nothing but bigoted and cruel and suspecting of all his intentions. but he cares—with spite, and in spite of everything—and inordinately so, thus he searches every palace anyway to find feng xin and cuocuo and he thinks, maybe just maybe if he saved feng xin this once feng xin would finally be able to forgive him for leaving and to understand he’d never truly meant harm even though he does have a sharp exterior that makes him almost intolerable.

do you think he sees feng xin in the fire and notices the scorched holes in his robes and the singed tips of his hair and his half-torn ribbon and immediately feels his chest lurch & he’s half-ready to let all his feelings & vulnerabilities climb up his throat & pour out of his mouth only for it to get stuck at the back of his teeth because he’s lived so long without voicing his thoughts that it’s thoroughly unnatural, so instead he just tugs at feng xin’s sleeve & clutches at the fabric & hopes the crazed look in his own eyes is enough to convey that he doesn’t want fx to die but fx just slaps him away with the most furious look on his face and mq’s eyes are just. wide. bare and open and glittering and aching.

so then he tries a few more times and screams at fx to get out but every time fx only gets more incensed and in the end slaps mq across the face, fingernails grazing his ear, and mq’s earring falls out with blood dripping from the lobe and he is stunned silent. fx carves a path further into the crashing debris & the ultraviolet sun & he thinks he’s lost mq but mq still doesnt give up and keeps chasing after him but this time he has no choice but to just sneak up from behind and pray that fx forgives him for this and strikes him unconscious

only for fx to say, later on, that he recognizes mq’s shadow and that mq is working for jun wu because he ambushed him. even though it’s literally one of mq’s only acts of kindness (at least thats what mq thinks bc he doesn’t think he’s ever been “good” many instances in his lifetime), let alone an act of kindness directed towards fx

sorry this is wall of text

i really like the idea of donghua mu qingfang's fuckass mustache being canon mostly cuz i think shen qingqiu would have the exact reaction that most people had when they saw it which was "that is NOT how i pictured him in my head holy shit."

when Hua Cheng said -“If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you burn after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. but I know you wouldn’t allow it” and, “to watch with your own eyes your beloved be trampled and ridiculed while unable to do anything - that’s the worst suffering in the world.”

if sqh has god powers still its entirely accidental. something he previously never explored in writing and never thought about but 'has an answer to'. one day one of the an ding kids is reading smth and they ask him about it cause shizun knows a lot of random stuff! and hes like hm oh yeah the thousand petal flower of adoration can also be cured by exposure to sunlight ahah its like a sunflower. of course no one wants to read about *sunbathing* though so- ah dont mind his ramblings. the words in the book change. well. ok guess we should ask him about more things. see what they can subtly change themselves via shizuns weird word powers (esp as they're the ones who are probably exposed to it the most as the sect pack mules). qingfang is still super fucking pissed. THOSE BOOKS CHANGED A F T E R HIS EDUCATION-

IM OBSESSED WITH THE IDEA HE'S JUST ACCIDENTALLY CHANGING SHIT THAT WAS ALREADY FILLED IN BY THE SYSTEM. Because we'll he's the original God before the system took over so technically if he decides what something is officially the world has to go by God's words right?

I'm also crying at the fact he has NO idea this is happening and that the disciples have figured this out first, but they not only don't tell him, they go see how far they can get away with it.

I feel like this is gonna end with Shen Qingqiu finding out because he would definitely learn more stuff about the world first and then realizing certain things have been changed when he KNEW IT WASN'T

The potential tho for Mu Qingfang to be death staring down Shang Qinghua to change how certain things are cured, but they were there in the original text, so...those are a bit harder to change then when they were autofulled by the system- and then Qingqiu and Qingfang beat him

[starlit--gaze]

Yeah pretty much

Worth mentioning I still don’t speak Mandarin very well (Cantonese speaker) and am still learning to read and write Chinese so I actually have no idea how you say “I’m mad” in Mando?? And I also don’t know how to write in Cantonese. This is what machine translation gave me. For the same reason I don’t know how to write coarse language in Chinese so the English is more of a “I want FX to say this” vs “this is what the Chinese is saying”

Eddie goes live a little before Steve gets home from the last day of school and just ambushes him the moment he walks through the door.

There’s a tussle and Eddie manages to not only get Steve on the ground, but straddles him and pins him. Steve laughs, puts his hands on Eddie’s thighs, and asks in a tone that’s way too flirty for a live-stream, “What’s this about?”

Eddie responds by holding up shaving cream and a razor, “The ‘stache has to go.”

Steve laughs again, but stays perfectly still and allows Eddie to shave his mustache. It’s an oddity intimate moment to be watching on a live-stream.

Especially because after Eddie wipes away the last of the shaving cream, he leans in and kiss him. They stop kissing until Steve’s phone rings twice. He pulls back just enough to check who’s calling and sees a text that says, “Live-stream.”

Eddie’s just like, “Yeah, totally forgot about that” and ends the stream there.
