#weasel xie lian

[jonathankai]

I've seen people call animal Xie Lian weasel, stoat or ferret and depict him as bigger or smaller animal with or without black-tipped tail. And I'm not sure which animal he's supposed to be, but there are certain differences between these three kinds, and it feels like sometimes people are mixing them up. So I thought I'd create charts focusing on most obvious differences - size and fur colour.

But first something important. English is not my first language and I've just learnt that 'weasel' can be used as a common term for stoats, ferret and... well, weasels. The last one are also called "least weasels" and that's what we'll use.

Without further ado, let's go!

IN CONCLUSION:

If it has white fur and a black-tipped tail - it's a stoat.

Least weasels and stoats are significantly smaller than ferrets.

"Weasel" is a common term for stoats, ferrets and weasels/least weasels (in UK).

This is not some vital knowledge, just thought it would be cool info to share. However people draw him, each weasel Xie Lian is beautiful and important <3

P.S.: Now I'm curious - where did animal forms for hualian even come from? Was it a fan's idea? Is it something from MXTX?

I absolutely love a stoat being Xie Lian''s animal counterpart or whatever we call it, because while they are utterly adorable, they are also little MONSTERS.

Like do you have any idea how fierce those little mo-fo's are? They take down prey ten times their size. If I remember correctly they have incredibly high hunting success rates. They will run fades with rats larger than themselves.

And their energy levels... Insane!

What I'm saying here is that this animal perfectly encapsulates Xie Lian; adorable and seemingly harmless at a first glance, but secretly a crazy little weirdo that can and will kill things ten times his size before retreating into his little rundown shrine/nest to sleep in incomprehensible positions while wrapped several times over around his mildly concerned but also delighted fox husband.

He’s got a knife!

While im a little unclear on if its an ongoing argument, people seem torn between Xie Lian being a stoat and being a ferret. Personally i think this is a very silly argument because Xie Lian is feral as HELL and you have to be domesticated for that

Doodle of the boy.

Ferret Xie Lian or stoat Xie Lian? Goofy noodle or danger weasel? Which do you prefer?

You ask and I deliver! I'm so happy everyone is enjoying the Mu Qing hc, so let's start:

Mu Qing would notice the littlest things about you.

From how you style your hair, how you prepare your coffee/tea, what you put first in the bowl if it's the cereals or the milk to the little gestures you do when you're nervous.

He just loves your little mannerisms so much. He finds them endearing.

Even the way every week you organize your books in a different system

He would notice how you sometimes forget to take care of yourself properly so he would help.

If you are a very busy person in the morning and forget to eat breakfast he'd prepare it for you to take away with a sticky note saying: "Don't forget to eat dummy"

When you first introduced him to MBTI he was really confused.

And when you explained the concept to him he low-key thought it would be another zodiac thing.

Which made you really pissed

So you made him do the test.

(And during the test he was a bit bored ngl)

It gave him ISTJ

At first, he was confused but as he read his results he was starting to doubt his convictions and so he became interested in mbti's

Cue you sending him a shitton of mbti memes 24/7

And whenever he saw a meme roasting your mbti he would def sending you

You would def make him dress up as your mbti for Halloween

But he wouldn't mind

Because if it made you smile he would do anything for you

When it comes to communication in a relationship, he can get a bit shy and insecure, so there will be times when he won't say wants to say. But if you talk to him and show him that you can give him a safe space to express his feelings he will become more confident and it will show.

OH! I totally feel like mu qing is the type to avoid you when he realizes his feelings for you (pre-relationship)

If you were close friends before and this starts happening it can be very hurtful.

You try to corner him but to no avail, he just gives a half-assed excuse and weasels his way away from you again.

It takes Xie Lian, Feng Xin, and even a tiny roast from Hua Cheng to make him apologize and confess to you

"Mu Qing you should be honest about your feelings, it's clear that they like you too!"

"Yeah bro you need to go head in and do it, it's been too long and now that you decided to very obviously distance yourself they've kinda been upset these past few days"

"Only a pussy bitch boy wouldn't admit their feelings and just confess instead of causing mindless hurt to both parties, isn't that right Mu Qing?"

"San lang..."

Yes that was basically the last drop for Mu Qing and he decides to drive up to your place

(cliché warning: I'm about to be so corny on this one I hope you can forgive me)

It started pouring rain and Mu Qing cursed himself for not doing this sooner and just being a blatant coward.

When he reached your driveway he calls your phone

"Hey, why are you-"

"Come outside"

"Mu Qing it's raining"

"I don't care just come outside, I want to take you somewhere"

"Fine. Give me a minute"

You basically leave in your pajamas and go on a late-night drive with Mu Qing.

He obviously gives you the aux cord bcs he likes your taste in music

You guys drive for a bit until he stops at a place with a nice skyline

You guys stay silent until he turns the engine off.

Mu Qing sighs to himself as you look at him expectantly

"Look Y/n I'm sorry. I have been a first-class dick these past few days and I really didn't want to hurt you by doing it but...it's just that... " he stops.

The words he wants to say can't get out of his mouth it's stuck in his throat until he feels your hand on top of his giving him an encouraging nod

It's incredible how you make him feel like he can conquer the world without uttering a single word really.

"I have feelings for you y/n. I never felt like this before. I feel like I don't deserve to feel like this, I feel like I don't deserve you in my life because I can't treat you like you should be treated. You've been here for me through thick and thin and I would do anything for you. But I am honestly feeling very fucking scared for what it might happen next."

You stay quiet trying to process all of the information you were just told. It was a lot to take in. Until you broke the agonising silence.

"I like you too Mu qing. I always have" you said with a beaming smile

"And yes you were being a total asshat, I was so confused. I thought you were upset that I ate the last chocolate pudding in your fridge"

"SO IT WAS YOU?? I THOUGHT I WAS FENG XIN! I MADE HIM BUY ME 4 MORE"

You two broke in silly laughter and when you opened your eyes you saw mu qing really close to your face.

He was looking at your eyes with such adoration that it was hard to maintain eye contact with those grey eyes.

He momentarily looked at your lips and his Adam's apple bobbed

He looks back at your eyes again moving closer. Your lips almost touching

"Can I k-kiss you?"

You guys can figure out the rest ;)

[winkk-koo]

Wip!!

(Again. All i can finish are meme drawings I am in hell)

Mmmm

Someone give me more ideas of what to decorate the sides with

So far we have both Fangxin and E-ming

Ruoye will be added

We have peach flowers and Ban Yue's pot

The fox for Hua Cheng and an added weasel for Xie Lian

And of course we have butterflies

[lazari-1313]

I painted Hua Cheng and Xie Lian in the forms of animals with which they are canonically associated. Actually, we have a fox and a weasel)

Oh, I love Hualian, they are so comfortable 🥺💘

[jonathankai]

Fox Hua Cheng + least weasel/stoat/ferret Xie Lian without text from my post about differences between least weasels, stoats and ferrets (for those wondering about Xie Lian's animal sona).

[hyperfixation-polls]

Okay so if you haven’t seen, but I’m like a big fan of how so many Danmei characters have like animals that can like represent them (I just imagine them all in like some kind animal crossing world and it just makes me happy!)

So I wanted to put out a list of the ones that I’m pretty confident on, but I’d also love to hear any other opinions! I am going to put the list below the cut! I also wanted to pose two questions.

Question one: Okay so I have begun Clear and Muddy loss of water (what can I say, I’m a hopeless sapphic, it was basically a requirement at this point) and I’m not far enough in yet to come up with any animal match ups for them! I would love to hear from anyone about your opinions, what animals would you associate with Qiyan and Jingnu? I’d love to hear in the comments or feel free to message me in either tumblr messaging or from my ask box! I need to know others opinions!

Question 2: Is there other Danmei / Baihe novels that you all recommend or any poll ideas you want to see? I am all ears! Like above, reach out in the comments, messaging, or askbox! I look forward to hearing from people!

Onto my list! I am currently sticking to the official couples, though I would love peoples opinions on some of the other ships and characters!

So for Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan, I feel like there are 2 common ones. One of course is the ever popular and official on the special edition book cover bunnies, which I love! I have also seen them as a fox and dragon though, which I am not opposed to!

Hua Cheng is a fox and I have seen that Xie Lian Is a ferret/weasel, though my friend brought up that they say someone say he was really a stoat, which I personally love and agree, cute and stuff, but can also take down a bunny twice it’s size with ease, I feel like it is Xie Lian Vibes!

Shen Qingqui is a cat, and Luo Binghe is a fluffy dog, nuff said!

Mobei Jun was pretty unanimously a snow leopard, and Shang Qinghua is very much a Hamster!

Mo ran is a husky and chu wanning is a white cat ( the title totally didn’t give anything away…)

Shen Qiao is a deer is what I’ve seen most often and Yan Wushi is a wolf (GAHHH I LOVE THOSE TWO!!)

When I solidify more of the animal match ups of different characters (including the non canon ships) I will reblog the post and add them on!

((o(*>ω<*)o))

Wow, I couldn't help but draw Xie Lian as a weasel.
