Shen Qingqiu: Some people are so beautiful that they are irresistible to both men and women... it's not gay to be attracted to them. There is literally nothing else you can do.

Xie Lian: You are so right. Or if you happen to have to kiss them to exchange spiritual energy, it doesn't mean you have feelings for one another.

Wei Wuxian: True. Also sometimes guy friends just need to get naked together and touch one another and make each other climax. Just normal friend stuff.

Shen Qingqiu: ....

Xie Lian: ....

Shen Qingqiu: ....exactly. You guys get it.

do you know the violence it took to be this gentle?

lan wangji and hua cheng do.

All of MXTX's protags are unreliable narrators, but in different ways

Shen Qingqiu is unreliable because he is unable to understand that the characters around him are people and see how much his actions have changed the plot

Wei Wuxian is unreliable because he has self worth issues and thinks the people who love him actually hate him

Xie Lian is unreliable because he is a cheeky motherfucker who purposely keeps information from the reader

I love how MXTX writes miscommunication/misunderstanding because it's not your typical miscom trope in where they only heard the bad parts of a convo, or where one of them is just really an extremely and irritatingly an overthinker. For example,

-Wei Wuxian misunderstands Wangji's intention to bring him back to Gusu because all his life he is loved by being useful, and if he is not being useful he is punished. He will never think that Lan Wangji loves him because he's never done anything useful for him. Lan Wangji misunderstood Wuxian's demonic cultivation because he never knew about the golden core transfer, and even then, he just wanted to protect him but he could never tell Wuxian that because he saw how his mother perished with the same promise of "love and protection"

-Luo Binghe just accepts that his Shizun hates him because he's a demon, yet what's confusing is that this Shizun told him that everyone is equal, be it demons or humans, so why is he especially despicable? Shen Qingqiu was just following the original novel in where Luo Bingge hates him, so that's how he interpreted all his actions. He is not aware that Luo Binghe's temperament was due to jealousy and heartbreak.

-Xie lian and Hua Cheng communicate very well. Even when they were pretending, even when the world is against their 'friendship', they knew each other's real intentions.

Since not everyone can be Luo Binghe (the meme, the legend)...

please vote for Hua Cheng in @the-ghost-bracket!

EDIT2: next round has begun, so the link above now directs there! And Hua Cheng is also currently in a competition for the title of the best leader.

Mxtx plots

TGCF: a mastermind is behind all of this and must be stopped

MDZS: a mastermind is behind all of this and must be stopped

SVSSS: the male lead will lose his shit, kill everyone, and destroy reality as we know it if he doesn't receive... *checks notes* ...gay love.

[luminouslumity]

All of MXTX's English covers! At long last!

[disgracefulthings]

I love how MXTX's first two books do not take long to show you what weirdos the main characters are. Shen Yuan was waiting his whole life to die and get transmigrated and judges other (fictional) characters for reacting to transmigration poorly. Wei Wuxian wakes up in the body of a deranged lunatic and he disguises himself by acting like a deranged lunatic and does not stop for the rest of the book

Xie Lian is a total weirdo too he's just better at hiding it

[chirpycloudyrobin]

if lwj were to ascend as a heavenly official he'd reform the entire system by sheer force of will bc everyone hiding their war crimes reminded him of the jins hiding their war crimes and wwx paying for it. he'll drag nhs up there for his silly little ability to play the long game and fuck up those who needed to be fucked up, reform the entire place and make sure ppl like wwx wld get their justice even after death, and have the place ready to accept wwx shld wwx want to ascend. because he's lwj and he can do anything with the power of love
