#xie lian appreciation

[xielianlover2]

Xie Lian is like the funniest character you guys. There's a reason he loves all of Hua Cheng's shenanigans and finds the guy hilarious. Guys, he's a judgemental bitch actually. He's been raised to be polite, but he was still a Crown Prince. He has Rich People Thoughts for sure.

He's so snarky, and well, he's been through so much shit, so of course he's snarky. Y'all remember the long-ass rant he went on about all of Mu Qing's bad characteristics? It was like 56 pages long, and he said it all in one breath. He's so savage and unapologetic, I love him.

i made this in 2021, but i never posted it cause i didn't think it looked "polished" enough. looking back on it, i think i was too harsh on myself. so i'm releasing it out into the world!

The childbearing pills haunt me and raise so many questions

[sillygoofyqueer]

HEAR ME OUT!!! What about, right, an AU where the main MXTX couples are somehow dropped into modern times (or...transmigrated back, in Shen Yuan's case), but they're still obviously from historical times. Instead of panicking or getting concerned like everyone else, Shen Yuan immediately finds the nearest, biggest cosplay convention and drags them all there so he can show off their awesome "costumes" (a win is a win, no matter the specifics). Cut to the couples strolling through the con, with Luo Binghe looking out of his depth, Xie Lian questioning everything and Hua Cheng hating that he doesn't have the answers for once, Lan Wangji the picture of serenity despite everything, Wei Wuxian looking like he literally belongs there, and Shen Yuan. Literally the picture of smugness. Everyone gawking and him being like "Oh hell yeah. Take a wild look at us guys."

My rendition of @tempo-takoyaki's DTIYS!

Congrats on the milestones! And to everyone else, please go check out their 'Drawing TGCF (except I haven't read the books)' series!

sorry but mei nianqing can’t convince me jun wu isn’t fruity. there simply isn’t a heterosexual explanation for all of that. xie lian’s whole title and branding is literally about jun wu finding him pleasing. like. i wasn’t born yesterday

[maalidoesart]

idk thought of this last night in bed so here is a random af crossover

also boyfriend reactions:

(chuuya is probably standing on a box to match hua chengs height bs damn my guy is small)

[baxiabells]

yin yu & xie lian are so interesting to me in all their fun narrative parallels & whatnot. havent landed quite on what dynamic i ship them with but i can feel bubbling potential under the surface...

[qourmet]

Sm1 planted the idea of a stubbly xie lian in my head & all I could consecutively think about was a xie lian with a working endocrine system, pit & chest hair & a happy trail & kinda muscular & just 🥵 idk I kinda lost myself in the sauce a bit

[lazycranberrydoodles]

Can I see hualesbians. Please. They are everything to me I’ve read every fic in the tag and if they lose I need some consolation

so i cheated on these and did them in procreate !!!! cause!!

[benevolenterrancy]

once asked the question do you think Liu qingge do a sonic rainboom now I may ask could Xie lian do a sonic rainboom? And who in mdzs do you think could do a sonic rainboom?

Also I feel like I'm spamming ur asks I'm so sorry

Out of all the characters, I think (post-series) Xie Lian is the most likely to actually survive flying at supersonic speeds and could theoretically get the actual "boom" if not the colour

(Hua Cheng, on the other hand, would be more than happy to supply the rainbows)

Wei Wuxian is the most likely to ATTEMPT it and inevitably blow himself up in the process (the only thing going boom here is Jiang Cheng's patience)

[xielianlover2]

Just knowing that Xie Lian and Hua Cheng spend the rest of their eternal lives together just makes me so incredibly happy (I never knew I could feel this much joy just knowing two of my favorite characters are living a happy life.)

I'm just imagining mostly soft, fluffy days - everyday! They wake up to each other everyday! They bathe together everyday! They go to bed with each other being the last thing they see everyday!

They smile, they laugh, maybe they sometimes even tear up from how incredibly happy they are. Their chests are practically bursting everyday from the amount of love they hold for each other.

They truly deserve to rest and be safe and happy forever. To be loved forever. To share that love with one another forever. And they already could understand each other so well (as Hua Cheng tells Xie Lian, "Your Highness, I understand your everything") and what, the novels in the present took place in just the span of a couple of weeks?

Imagine a year. Ten years, a hundred years, eight hundred years. They already have each other's spiritual array passwords, but I don't think they even need a year to just start passing thoughts to one another with just their eyes. They won't even have to look at each other, they'll just immediately understand what the other one means to say.

Guys. I am going feral over Hualian. I can’t even imagine what they will look like after centuries of receiving unconditional love. They'd definitely be codependent as hell haha. They'd also be known as their world's best power couple. Even after just a couple of months or something, there were already stories and legends being written about them.

I love them so much 🥹

Hua Cheng with Ban Yue: This is gege's daughter, so she is my daughter, too. I will take care of her and treat her like a princess. She's been through a lot. Let's tuck her carefully into this pickle jar so that she'll be safe and protected.

Hua Cheng with Lang Qianqiu: Lol I'm going to turn you into a little budaoweng doll and flick you around. That's what you get for accusing Dianxia of senseless murder. Get your facts straight before you go around causing trouble, you fool.

[tea-cat-arts]

A reoccurring thought I had for a while now-

On one hand, I'd like to think someone gave him a hug at least once in those 800 years. On the other, idk who Xie Lian would let himself be vulnerable with

[yulen-the-ghost]

Please help me share this thing bc I love this sword design and barely see it around 😭😭😭

It was sooooo impossible finding resources to make the sword, because I like this version more than the others. It's the one I always imagine when I'm reading!! And I don't blame others for barely drawing it bc it's soooo hard!!!
