One of the few parts of every adaptation that makes me cry is the Yi City/Coffin City arc- something about finding love when you don't deserve it, fighting with all you have for it, only to ultimately ruin it with your own hands,,, like MAN I know these guys could never have any sort of functional relationship as is but I wish they could! What very little we see of their dynamics are amazing 10/10 would cry at crushed old candy again

5 fun facts AU game: the ilcbt AU where XXC walks in on XY and SLs affair ahead of time!

oooh this is a fun one because it's so fucking messy let's goooo

the hurt Xiao Xingchen is going through, first of all. he's been pining for Chengmei for ages and not doing anything about it, and he kind of thought Chengmei was flirting with him but he wasn't sure so he wasn't making any moves, and he's been pining for Song Lan for even longer but figured he wouldn't/didn't want the same thing so didn't do anything about that, and he's been trying to balance two of his housemates' clear dislike and tension which is stressful as hell while he cares deeply about them both, and now he finds out that they're apparently having sex behind his back, only of course it's none of his business and it's not like he ever indicated he wanted anything so it's not their fault and really he doesn't have any right to be jealous and he should just be happy only they still don't seem to like each other very much but maybe he's just misunderstanding and

(it's a lot. XiaoXingchen.exe has stopped responding. he's upset and trying not to be upset and upset at himself for being upset.)

meanwhile both Xue Yang and Song Lan are like YOU about this, because clearly it is the OTHER PERSON'S fault that Xiao Xingchen is upset; Song Lan is like (pretty fairly) "you started it" and Xue Yang is like "yeah but I didn't see you turning me down."

Song Lan is self aware enough to also be upset with himself and miserable because of course!!! he actually loves Xiao Xingchen, he doesn't know what he's doing with Xue Yang, but also how is he supposed to explain himself

Xue Yang is not self aware enough to be mad at himself, exactly, but he is very upset, Xiao Xingchen is upset and this is unfun, definitely Song Lan's fault but now he's going to fix it just like he fixed the last time Song Lan fucked up Xiao Xingchen (no really, that's what happened)

Xiao Xingchen meanwhile is frantically going IT'S FINE, IT'S FINE, I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH EVERYTHING IS FINE so loudly he doesn't really register Song Lan's attempts to explain. also withdrawing from everybody, even a-Qing, who is like "what the fuck and why is this my life, I hate everyone in this house except you Daozhang, poisoning them both for sure"

Xue Yang makes an effort to fix things by finally putting the moves on Xiao Xingchen in a more concerted manner but this just upsets Xiao Xingchen more because now he's making Chengmei cheat on Song Lan and it's his fault because he couldn't keep from being jealous :( Xue Yang is like "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" but XiaoXingchen.exe is not capable of processing this input right now

anyway I have no idea how this resolves. probably something snaps somewhere and Song Lan and Xue Yang coordinate somehow to corner Xiao Xingchen into aggressive "no you have misunderstood the situation really we both just want to have you (truth) and not each other (lie)" and they fuck about it.

that helps for about an hour until Xiao Xingchen's head clears and he's like WAIT YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU STILL DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER and now he's stressed again

poor Xiao Xingchen spends a lot of the first installment of this au very stressed and this would be even more stressful for him

If you think about it (not too hard though) the Yi City Arc is kind of Maleficent gone wrong

Quickly sketched this with the shitty art skills I have because this meme suddenly possessed me.

new OT3 redraw meme just dropped:

[Image Description: Photo of three people seated on the ground. The person on the left is sitting up against a picnic table, drinking from a bottle of orange soda and gazing out toward the camera. Another person is sprawled out across the shot with their head in the first person's lap. A third person kneeling on the right of the image is stretching down across the frame to kiss the second person while resting a hand on their crotch. /end]

You know what's sad about Wei Wuxian's death? Its not that a bunch of people disliked him and said 'die bitch!'. No. The thing with Wei Wuxian was that he had to die. There was no other way.

Wei Wuxian was kind, selfless, paid his debts and favours as deserved, cared about people, used his skills and cultivation for good of as many as he could, didn't shy away from danger or back down in the face of injustice. He was, in short, the very definition of what a cultivator should be. And that's why he had to die.

If he lived, corruption would have decreased and ended over time. If he lived, civillians and younger cultivators would've realized their rights and how they shouldn't take bullshit from clans. If he lived, next generations would've realized that rules and traditions were just constraints set to keep them under strict control and from realizing they didn't need all those useless elders after all. The system would've changed, no one would've tolerated all this extortion, corruption, nepotism, power imbalance, crimes that were swept under the rug due to the committers being influential. Absolutely no one.

And all that would've been caused by the existence and actions of one man. Wei Wuxian.

So how do we deal with that? We nip the evil in the bud. First use his horrible treatment at the hands of Jiangs as a base to show that yes, he's bad, his martial family treated him that way and they know him best. Then cutting off his allies by skewing their perception about him and his intentions. Then by sowing fear into hearts of allies and civillians. And then leading a siege to cleanse the world of 'evil' so that their bullshit won't be discovered or put a stop to even centuries later. So that his end would serve as a warning to anyone who wishes to rise against evil and corruption, as an unspoken threat to anyone who cared for people and their duties for real.

And it worked. It worked spectacularly. Anyone defying the rules was punished, anyone saying anything similar to Wei Wuxian's? Anyone trying to do real good or anyone following in his path was deemed evil. Their torture and murder were never even acknowledged, yet the rumours were spread to discourage others from trying. Even people who didn't follow his footsteps and chose to be righteous of their own accord didn't live to see the results of their goodness (Nie Mingjue, Xiao Xingchen, Song Zichen etc) and if they did, no one found out and they were forgotten quickly (Mianmian).

It worked so well that every harm that befell on anyone, whether it was from the gods or from someone playing god and taking advantage, was attributed to the Yiling Laozu's evil ways. He was dead, yet everything that went wrong was his fault. Your marriage didnt work out? Wei Wuxian was behind this, I am sure. There was a flood that destroyed years worth of your hard work? Sounds like the Yiling Laozu. You had a cough because you ate something cold in the winter? Pretty sure the evil Wei Wuxian is behind it, he has various very evil tricks up his sleeve. That Monster!

He was all-powerful, a man who didn't bend to the whims of gods or wills of mortals. Someone who could defy everyone if he woke up in the mood to.

The propaganda and brainwashing worked so well that people never stopped to ask themselves the question: If Yiling Laozu was truly so powerful, how did he get defeated by a bunch of corpses? How did the Ghost General, his most powerful weapon, get killed by a few dozen cultivators?

And thinking of that is depressing as fuck because he died solely so the rich could get richer, the evil and corrupt could advance in their evil ways (Jin Guangyao, Xue Yang) and everyone could stay on their carefully curated bubble of bliss with none the wiser about their deception, manipulation and bullshit about bloodlines and traditions (Jiang Cheng, The Lans, Jin Guangshan, etc).
