Danmei and MXTX novels

Would you look at that, another post that's not about anime? WILD. It is about MXTX novels though so the hyperfixations continue. I'm actually in the process of planning a very lengthy analysis of all three of her series but this is a warning, don't expect too much. I was never good at those in school plus it's been almost 7 years since I've last written something like that but I feel so passionate about her works that I really wanna try to share what I thought about the novels. Nevertheless, this isn't actually those analysis posts since those are gonna be separate and will probably be written after I re-read each series. However, since I'm actually finally fully done reading all her series - including the extra side chapters - I wanted to quickly share some of my opinions and how I feel after finishing all 18 of the books.

This goes without saying but just in case - SPOILER WARNING for Heaven Official's Blessing, The grandmaster of demonic cultivation and The scum villain's self saving system novels.

First off, if you haven't read any of MXTX's work before, prepare for trauma and tragedy. Most of her characters are either deeply traumatised already or in the process of. I will always encourage people to read content warnings before reading her books.

Starting off with my favourite - TGCF or Tian Guan Ci Fu (aka Heaven Official's Blessing). This story means a lot to me. I got introduced to TGCF through the donghua before I even knew it was queer fiction and even with censorship, the closet is made of fucking GLASS so I had to look for the source material. Honestly it took me a while to commit to reading the whole series as I've been struggling to pick up books for years now but TGCF actually got me back into reading (I think in total it took me about 8 days to read all 8 volumes). More than just the story telling being good, I got so incredibly attached to every single character (except Jun Wu, he can eat shit - tho the fact I'm even saying this speaks volumes about how well MXTX can write characters. It takes a lot for me to hate a character this much).

Taking place in a beautiful fantasy world, we follow Xie Lian and Hua Cheng through tragic traumatic past and present and we learn of the horrible truths about the lives of immortal beings. We also see two idiots in love take their sweet ass time to confess. I love me a good slow burn full of longing and pining. I eat that shit UP every time and MXTX gave it to me with every single one of her series.

TGCF for me was a journey full of kicking my feet at fluff, second hand embarrassment (because xl I stg, what do you MEAN you were taught how to resist the advances of women but not how to resist hot men you gay lil shit the closet is made of glass) and honestly, lots of crying. The hundred stabs incident, ruoye's creation and hcg's last death made me sob and scream (no exaggeration, I was stomping around my room, crying and yelling GIVE HIM BACK RIGHT NOW).

Also, in a not so unpopular opinion (I think?), Pei Ming is my fave because 1) he's the no.1 Hualian shipper - check the whole Mt Tunglu adventure for proof and also 2) he's just a lil slut with a big heart. I could seriously talk about him forever because I went from hating him after he tried to throw the blame for the Banyue Pass incident on Xie Lian, to loving him after I realised that everything he does, he does because he is truly just a kind man who loves a good fight. He's so silly! Just a lil guy! Go Pei Ming go!

Fuck you Jun Wu. Again. (I hate him just as much as I hate Mahito. Maybe a little less. I really hate Mahito).

Moving on to my second favourite (but honestly it's such a close one), MDZS or Mo Dao Zu Shi (The grandmaster of demonic cultivation). Take a wild guess about how I got introduced to it... Fandom of course, because very few people talk about TGCF online without mentioning MDZS so I just had to give it a chance.

The great grandmaster of demonic cultivation has been dead for a while but when he gets gifted a new body through a not so well known demonic ritual, he runs into an old acquaintance. We learn about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's past and current world of cultivation and hear stories about messy betrayals and conspiracies. Aaaand we find out about some more trauma and tragedy because is it really an MXTX novel without it?

And talk about a rollercoaster because (and please don't hate me for this) I found Wei Wuxian annoying initially.... But it's okay now because I kin him so go figure. Tho I actually kin only his adult self, I was a very introverted and rule abiding teenager, a lil more like Lan Wangji. In any case, wwx is the same stupid chaotic bisexual that I am and he is babygurl. Yeah and what if he murdered 3000 people? It was self defense. THEY ATTACKED FIRST. Your honour, he did nothing wrong and he does not deserve to be punished!

On a serious note, MDZS explores so many themes that are personally important to me, my favourite being the power dynamics of the world. It’s truly moving that even with all the pain Wei Wuxian went through, how far in his cultivation and how powerful he got, he still couldn't protect those he loved (until Lan Wangji of course because Wangxian is perfect together and they always protect and defend each other. Wangxian my beloved). While it might be a stretch for some, it really reminded me of how powerless we are in the world. People aim to educate themselves and go on to do whatever they can to better the world in their own way and yet, it really feels like nothing’s improving sometimes. I could talk about this for hours but maybe I’ll leave that for another time and another analysis post since this is supposed to be a shorter one (lmao)

Last but not least, RZFZX or Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (honestly this one I use the english name for because I can’t pronounce the chinese as much as I try - The scum villain's self saving system or Svsss). This one I actually kinda struggled with - first of all because WHY BUGS MXTX. Not much bothers me in fiction but BUGS? Too far. Heads with spider legs? Raw flesh with maggots? Blood mites? I was out (for about half an hour and then I kept reading). Please note that it's not the raw flesh that bothered me, it was the fucking maggots. I can read about graphic murder, creepy hauntings, torture and many more but as soon as there are bugs? Nope! I’m done. People have phobias and that’s mine I guess. Enough ranting about bugs!

The story follows Shen Qingqiu, the scum villain of the hit web novel Proud Immortal Demon's Way (or PIDW for short, as it's referred to in Svsss) who is actually one of the original readers - and haters - of PIDW, who transmigrates into the book in order to fix the plot holes left by the original author. With his guide “the system” he does his best to lead the male lead of PIDW, Luo Binghe, down a better path than in the original story.

Svsss employs a comedic way of storytelling, with our protagonist being omniscient, it allows for the narration to be sarcastic and poke fun at a lot of moments that are cliche or badly written, as interpreted by sqq. Honestly, this is just a personal preference but I favour the more serious storytelling way of MDZS and TGCF (give me hurt until the very end when the main characters get together and then give me comfort).

To me, Svsss is a lot harder to analyse as a lot of its themes are unfamiliar to me, especially considering I’m the furthest from having any sort of humanitarian education (I have 2 engineering degrees). Using a story within a story, MXTX is able to deliver two main overarching themes; one about abuse and its results through Luo Binghe as well as one about the relationship of author and their readers, the feeling of being trapped by the readers' opinions and wanting your story to be liked through Shang Qinghua (to be honest, I hadn’t really picked up on this one until I saw discussion about this in the fandom).

If I'm being completely honest, I don't think I grasped this series as well as the other ones and I'm finding it hard to digest lbg and sqq's relationship. I'm unsure as to what it is that's holding me back from loving them as much as Hualian and Wangxian. I do tend to prefer tropes like theirs more than the whole "had to convince him to date me" thing which is what Bingqiu's relationship seemed like to me up until the end of volume 3. It’s also why I'm glad I actually followed through and finished the extras in volume 4 (I was really tempted to stop reading once I finished volume 3 not gonna lie). I believe those to be integral to understanding sqq's feelings towards lbh and while I understand that sqq did actually love lbh from the beginning (denial is a river in egypt and the gloset is made of glass - what the fuck is with MXTX's bottoms and the damn glass closet), I struggled to see the tipping point of where he actually understood his own feelings and what was going on in his head and that he was actually in love with lbh. Which is why I think to really understand Svsss, I would seriously need to reread it.

I also would love to eventually talk about queerness in MXTX's work because in each book, sexuality and queerness is explored and examined in so many different ways. As a queer person myself, it fascinates me as I can relate to so much of it. To be honest, I think I could write a short thesis on just this.

Honestly, while I'm very passionate about my favourite pieces of media (if you've heard me talk about any of my top 5 anime you'll understand what I mean), there hasn't been a lot of things outside JJK and MXTX's novels that have made me wanna dive deep into analysing every single detail. It genuinely makes me feel like I'm gonna implode sometimes. These 3 series have seriously reignited my love for reading. I was shown that a good book - in my opinion of course - doesn't need to avoid difficult topics. It simply needs to use them well as a means of delivering a message and a story, rather than them being included just to be included. They also reminded me that I love queer fiction and I need to read more.

I actually would really like to read Erha (or 2ha or The husky and his white cat shizun) but I've read the content warnings and I'm ~~apprehensive~~. While not a lot of things bother me, I'm not sure I want to read about that stuff (please look at the content warnings of this book, or any piece of media in that matter, especially if you have topics that easily bother or trigger you). Remember, it's our responsibility as readers/consumers to look out for ourselves first!

Please recommend any good danmei (other than MXTX) and possibly include links where they can be read! I would also highly appreciate recommendations for some good wlw fantasy fiction as I really would love to read some wlw novels - or even anime/movies/webtoons/manga. Just in desperate need of quality wlw content.

Also while I said I'd keep it short, it seems I ended up writing over 2000 words…

PS. I proofread this about 5 times and during one of them my file crashed, so if there's any mistakes or if I’m not making sense somewhere, blame my deep-fried brain, thanks

Thanks for reading my novel ramble! Enjoy reading :)

Pei Ming being the #1 hualian shipper will forever be one of the most hilarious things in tgcf

[ao3feed-fengqing]

Melody to a broken heart gloves to freezing hands

by Kanekis_nailpolish Then Feng Xin's warm arms wrapped around his waist bringing his body to his own, their chests flush against each other and warm breaths mingling together in the air. "You could have said so." Feng Xin said, like he didn't believe Mu Qing that he wanted to be friends with His Highness. It hurt. Much more than the burns on his wrists and palms. He didn't cry. Maybe he was too lost in his touch. But when Feng Xin grabbed him under his knees and placed him on his back, his breath caught in his throat. "F...Feng Xin, what are you doing?"   Or After the final battle with Jun Wu, Mu Qing and Feng Xin get closer to each other. After shared moments from the past and the persent, they realize that maybe their hearts contain much more than hatred towards each other. Also Hua Cheng comes back far faster.

Spoiler warning for Heaven Officials Blessings, though mostly vaguely

Okay so only like a couple more post them I’m going to stop flooding shit tonight! I just have this idea right, like so my friend told me that in an interview or something with the English Voice Actors from Heaven officials blessings, Hua Cheng’s voice actor said that like Hua Cheng reminded him of Wesley, and like yes, it makes so much sense, and like it all works out! Hua Cheng is very much Wesley. Xie Lian is Buttercup, used to be kind of a little spoiled and stuff but then a big life change kind of humbled them somewhat and made them appreciate the one that loves them more. Jin Wu is prince humperdinck, tries to give off this air of a good and noble ruler but is actually an asshole who uses the main character (buttercup/xie lian) to try and further their plans. Qi rong is the Sicilian, and I have no other explanation than short, loud, and arrogant. Pei Ming is the grandfather (#1 Hualian shipper) and is telling the story to Pei Jr. Now obviously this does leave some very important roles, which I want to put up as polls to help me sort it all out in my brain, and then maybe I’ll actually try my hand at fanfic or something, who knows! But yes, I’ll be putting those up for some help!

TGCF SPOILAS

-------------------------------

E'MING IS SO CUTE THOO and this whole scene, lmao Pei Ming is like what is this cutsey family bs (minus hua cheng being mean to E'ming lol) I'm seeing in the middle of the bloodiest battle in history, like nope, I'm out

E'ming, who tried so enthusiastically to offer itself up but ended up soblatantly rejected, weepingly hopped back to Hua Cheng’s side. Hua Cheng didn’t even spare it a look before he smacked it with a backhand slap.

“What are you crying about? Isn’t it because you’re useless? Trash!”

E'ming fell flat on the ground like a piece of unwanted scrap metal, like it dropped dead from that strike. Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately picked E'ming up in his arms and stroked it a few times.

“Nothing of the sort. Don’t listen to him, you’re not trash, you’re very useful!”

Pei Ming couldn’t stand the mood in the circle anymore. He stepped out, standing at the boundary, slowly pulling out his sword once more.

YOOO REUNION TIME??? KE MO???

Xie Lian's reaction after his cunning little plan is successful, like I can't with him, so precious

Xie Lian wiped away his cold sweat. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing, much ashamed.”

THIS WHOLE SCENE LMAOO I WAS DYING

Xie Lian also didn’t think this looked serious at all, and said courteously, “General Pei, stepping on legs really isn’t very convincing, can you maybe…make him think you’ve got him by something critical?”

“Your Highness, don’t say something like that so easily,” Pei Ming said. “If it wasn’t because I refuse to do something so classless, you think I’d want to step on legs? Why don’t you come grab him where it hurts?”

“…”

In any case, neither of them were willing to grab that kind of critical place.

LMao, i loved this part so much, I can't pick if I liked Rong Guang's reaction more or whatever the heck Xie Lian and E'Ming were doing lol

It was only some praise, no big deal. So Xie Lian said, “Very well. E'ming, listen closely: you are handsome and carefree, cute and kind, clever and intelligent, gentle and determined, number one in the world…

He trailed off, then stopped. Pei Ming started clapping soundly. Outside the circle, Ming'guang had a face full of disbelief, and was crying furiously.

“WHAT KIND OF WICKED SPELL IS THIS? HOW COME I’VE NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE?!”

EFNEBJFBE BANYUE??? PEI SU?? HIGH SCHOOL REUNION BASiCALLY?? alsooo hmm,,, rain master is here?? Pei Ming has some grudges against the water master so he is not a part of the 'benefits' that were negotiated....I wonder why he's here

Not PEI MING BEING NO.1 HUALIAN SHIPPER, but also does no one in heaven have any sense of privacy??? First Jun Wu and now him??

Xie Lian almost fell over from shock. When he turned his head to look, Pei Ming was crouched down next to him.

Sounding unusually indignant and resentful, Xie Lian said, “General Pei, can you not look?!”

Pei Ming raised his hands. “Alright, alright, alright, I won’t look.”

Ok hold up, I'm confused;

And this fight was the last battle of his life

So are heavenly officials dead, and THEN they ascend? Or are they still alive, and then they ascend? Cuz I remember Xie Lian's third and first ascensions were when he was alive and well... Unless it's case by case, and some ascend alive while some ascend after dying? Ya, I'm confused cuz how else could this be Pei Ming's final battle during his life? I'm pretty sure he fought more battles after ascension? Wait, the sword snapping WAS his means to ascension, correct?

[profmori]

tgcf moments that don't feel real but actually are pt.2

— part 1

!! spoilers !!

Xie Lian was about to swallow a fucking sword to get rid of the foetus spirit

Xie Lian was pretending as a pregnant woman

Instead of grabbing hua cheng, Rouye actually pulled xie lian towards him and then went limp to avoid getting scolded

mu qing was the last person to stay behind with xie lian while everyone went up to fix the heavens

feng xin : “fuck you and your families” xie lian : “if the families look anything close to it, i doubt you'd wanna fuck them”

goushi was pretty fucking chill with xie lian being together with hua cheng ?? i was expecting him to be mad about it but he really said gay rights 💗✨🌈😋

the only person jun wu doesn't wanna fuck with it lord rain master (girlboss)

feng xin is scared of woman but still the only person with a child

xie lian called hua cheng his child

pei ming is the biggest hualian shipper in the series

he xuan personally came to deliver shi qingxuan's spiritual weapon (even fixed it)

he xuan is under debt to hua cheng

the ghost city ships hualian

leng win was the first person to point out that hua cheng gave his ashes to xie lian

mu qing had been looking for the lost red pearl earring for 2 years (even continued to do so later on) (till he found it in hua cheng's hair out of all the places)

the lava surfing with corpses ??? (mu qing failed)

mu qing is down right scared of death

pei su was choking and getting super sick, pei ming was screaming that he'll die but xie lian was too busy talking to hua cheng to pay him mind

hua cheng rather have pei su d word than waking up xie lian from his nap

hua cheng disguised himself to stay near xl and xie lian figured him out by asking him to write something for him

mu qing and feng xin are scared of xie lian's cooking (everyone is)

xie lian stabbed jun wu three times ??

mu qing breaks his own statues and yells at his worshippers is they don't match his taste. and still he's regarded as kind and generous.

[momoliee]

Hi....if you don't mind me asking, can I ask, who are your top 5 favorite TGCF characters? And why do you like them? Sorry if you've answered this question before....

Hi it’s totally fine!

[1. Mu Qing 2. Xie Lian 3. Pei Ming 4. Shi Qingxuan 5. He Xuan] [Honorary mentions : Hua Cheng and Quan Yizhen]

1. Mu Qing : born on the lower class side of an elitist, classist country, mu Qing had to work from a very young age to prove for his poor, sick mother. He’s had to endure the constant flaunting and bullying of the rich, endure being looked down upon and treated as dirt even tho those people weren’t much better than him in terms of cultivation or sword ability. Then he meets the crown prince and his body guard, and despite this guy being a filthy rich royalty, he still extends a kind hand, still treats him as an equal. It’s why for the first time, Mu Qing actually feels less, he feels inferior in terms of personality and wealth and capability and just, in terms of everything. Mu Qing then has to battle to incompatible emotions within him : jealousy and admiration. But mu Qing knows what’s right and what’s not, so he shoves the jealousy deep deep down cause Xie lian is his FRIEND, Xie lian is the guy who helped him. Yes they fall out, and it’s all mu qing’s fault for acting so cowardly, but not a day passes that he doesn’t spend it feeling guilty and horrible and hating his own existence for what he’s done. And when they meet again, he can’t confront him, can’t face him with what he’s done. So he acts like a little dick and picks on him. Helping him without telling anyone. You know, just being a tsundere. Their reconciliation is my favorite part, mu Qing admitting to all his thoughts and faults, and with all the vulnerability that he never allowed himself to ever expose, he reaches out a hand and asks to be his friend. Deep down hes a good guy, it’s just that he happens to be a prideful coward and an ass on the surface tho. (I can write a whole meta analysis on him but there are still 4 more characters so imma stop here)

2. Xie lian : I initially thought he was gonna be like, the stereotypical extremely nice and kind character who always smiles in the face or hardship and never complains. Basically the vanilla character that ive stopped liking a long long time ago. But he surprised me. Xie lian is an extremely three dimensional character who isn’t always kind or nice. Xie lian cries, complains, screams and yells, lashes out and WILL go full apeshit mode when hes driven to his limit. He will blame others for not seeing how hard he’s trying, but he will still continue to try anyway. He thought that kindness was the easiest choice to make, only to realize that kindness is the kind of choice that only matters when you still make it despite being UNABLE to afford making it. What does it mean to be rich and donate a small portion of your money compared to being poor and donating the only meal you managed to find to someone who is more in need. It’s why I love him. He’s a traumatized character through and through and him finally being allowed to heal is like a balm on my heart.

3. Pei ming : beloved manwhore, most precious slut of ours. The comic relief, hualian’s number one shipper and supporter and fan. Cleanest member of the heaven (besides fenqing). This man will have his fling then shower the woman with riches and make sure she’s well taken care of even if the sparks of desire have long since been extinguished. The most charming. Covering up for his friends no matter what. I just, I love him ok.

4. SQX : I’ve always found her/him extremely endearing and was always so so fond of him/her. She’s bubbly and kind and would always listen to you and never turn a deaf ear to a cry of help. But she wouldn’t complain, no matter what befell her she would take it without so much as a protest. The kind of friend everyone needs, especially Xie lian. The kind of sunshine energy that we all need some of tbh

5. He xuan : (this post is too long so im just shortening the metas bit by bit) extremely complex character, had everything taken from him, suffered some of the absolute worst trauma that he couldn’t recover from, and after being thoroughly emptied out, he filled himself up with revenge in order to keep going. Cause how else was he gonna keep going? Met someone who may or may not have made the years easier on him, only for said person to abandon him too. And after his revenge was complete, he went back to the initial emptiness, this pointlessness that dwells deep within him that he can’t get rid of. Idk I just find him very very tragic

Honorary mentions : Hua Cheng for obvious reasons and qyz because he’s the Goodest autistic boy who only ever wants to repay the people who were kind to him with 10x the kindness

[lemonade-of-gods]

For the Do I Ship It:

Lan An/Baoshan SanRen

Pei Ming/Shi Wudu and/or Pei Ming/Yushi Huan

Sorry it's a lot lol

PLEASE MY ASKBOX IS SO DRY I AM OPEN TO ALL PAIRINGS HEHEHE

1. Lan An/Baoshan Sanren

(I have never seen any stuff about these two so this was actually nice to get hehe)

You know I've always imagined Lan An's s/o to be an arsonist or some shit (has to be a notorious troublemaker okay) and even though we know practically nothing about Baoshan Sanren, whose to say that she wasn't one? (Cangse Sanren, Xiao Xingchen... need I say more?)

... buuuuut my hc is that Lan An's s/o died and Baoshan Sanren definitely isn't so there's that little snag ehhhhh

That doesn't mean I'm not willing to read fics about it ehehehe

2. Pei Ming/Shi Wudu

This is like a "if it's there I will read, if it's not there I'll still read" pairing because unfortunately the otp I want is still a rarepair rip

(Also Shi Wudu doesn't sound much like Pei Ming's type, which of course makes me lead you to this...)

3. Pei Ming/Yushi Huang

LISTEN LISTEN IT IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER TO IMAGINE PEI MING HAVING HIS EXISTENTIAL CRISIS OVER THE ONE GIRL WHO SAVED HIS ASS THAT IS HIS TYPE

And absolutely based for Yushi Huang to have a taste for ethical whores, Pei Ming ultra max pro sexy

I hc that they skirt around the topic because Pei Ming has no idea how to approach his once enemy now crush while Yushi Huang hides behind her schedule in embarrassment until shippers on deck Hualian get fed up and engineer a plan to get them together ehehehe

[peihoeming]

break down pei ming and/or shi wudu? for the ask meme 👀

Oh yeah

PEI MING

How I feel about this character: Amazing, groundbreaking, breathtaking, love him to death. Okay, on a more serious note: Pei Ming is actually a fantastic character ???? So many expectations subverted!!! Heartless jerk womanizer? Nah dude, he took care of those women, he just likes flings. He is very respectful of those deserving of respect.  All the people I ship romantically with this character: I think I am the only person in this fandom shipping Pei Ming/Rong Guang...but how can I not? They are childhood best friend AND general and deputy AND Pei Ming’s only holy sword was named after their names combined...LIKE I’M LOSING MY MIND OVER THEM BUT NOBODY SHIPS THEM.  Also Yushi Huang because Pei Ming gets pegged and he likes it, we all know it. My non-romantic OTP for this character: Pei Ming&Xie Lian. Listen....Jun Wu wanted them to be enemy but these two actually respects each other too much! Also love him doing his everything for Pei Su, ‘k ? My unpopular opinion about this character: Everyone is ‘shi qingxuan is hualian #1 shipper’ and all...but it’s not true!!! Shi Qingxuan has no clue even at the end of the book when hualian fucks!!! You know who since DAY 1 knew what was happening? PEI MING. He is not also considered the love of god for nothing. Pei Ming is the real Hualian stan and you should all realize it. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:  Wish we had more badassery moments, but in general i can’t complain

SHI WUDU

How I feel about this character: Gosh, isn’t Shi Wudu sexy af? He defied Fate and Heaven and he would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for the consequences of his actions! He has big dick energy no doubt about it. And you know what? He knows what he did and he owns it, he doesn’t shy away from how fucked up stealing someone’s fate is or how he fucked up he xuan’s existence, he did what he did and he is not going to apologize. We love a character with integrity All the people I ship romantically with this character: I am a 3 tumors stan. I also love pain so LOVE the idea of Shi Wudu and He Xuan together. My non-romantic OTP for this character: Shi Qingxuan of course. Homeboy did everything for his brother. Was he right? No, but his motivation was as pure as i can get really.  My unpopular opinion about this character: I don’t think I have one? One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Do...do I need to say it?

[tolrais]

TGCF for the ask meme please?

Thanks fixa!

This was actually more of a headscratcher than I thought it would be 😅🤔

Blorbo has got to be the main man himself, Xianle Taizi Dianxia Xie Lian.

Scrunkly...I'll admit this threw more for a sec but i think I gotta go with Hong-Er/Baby Hua Cheng - I just want to protect him and give him blankets 😅 I'd probably lose my hand, but I identify far too much with Xie Lian in those scenes.

Scrimblo bimblo - OK so this one is kind of cheating but it's Wu Ming. Just the devotion and *clenches heart* he's so good.

Glup Shitto - It's gotta be the ladies - Ban Yue, Yushi Huang, Ling Wen - they're all great in different ways.

Poor Little Meow Meow - I wanna say Pei Ming, he's such a dickhead but at the end of the day he's one of the few characters who doesn't have like 800 ulterior motives. (And him being #1 Hualian shipper is very funny). Though I feel like Yin Yu also deserves a shout out for his patheticness

Horse Plinko - Qi Rong, need I say more?

Eeby Deeby - I think we all know this one XD, Chief Dickhead himself, Bai Wuxiang

[still-snowing]

pei ming being the #1 hualian shipper is something I wasn’t expecting but that I support wholeheartedly

[beneaththebrim]

do you like general pei as character?

AHHHHH sorry I took so long to answer this I’m hyperfixating on spl rn so tgcf asks are tougher to address since I’m not in the headspace

Can’t offer m/ta rn, mainly just opinions, although @thisworldgodonlyknows wrote a really nice piece about the dynamic between Yu Shi Huang and Pei Ming, and Pei Ming’s resulting character development.

I think my opinion toward Pei Ming probably parallels a lot of people’s--in the beginning I was like, ew, gross sexist imperialist cad. But at some point along the line he became a comic relief character/hualian’s #1 shipper, and eventually proved himself to be a stalwart, morally grounded character. And he’s such a slut, I love that for him! So, he grew on me.

I think my main beef with him remains to be his pressure on and special treatment of Pei Su, which partially led Pei Su to ah.... commit g*nocide against the Banyuese... And then kill more innocent people to cover it up....

So... I can’t exactly forgive him for that.

But, y’know, he’s a meme. He’s like a really funny B99 meme--impossible not to reference and laugh at, but ultimately rooted in normalizing and humanizing an institution that... well I’ve already talked about how I feel about cops :P
