*in a difficult situation*

Xie Lian: i have an idea!

Hua Cheng: if it involves you getting stabbed and/or stabbing yourself, absolutely not.

Xie Lian:... i no longer have an idea

Me: "Ha!"

Mxtx love interests and their relationships with captivity are fascinating and all, but I’d rather just focus on how funny Hua Cheng’s is in particular.

We have Luo Binghe‘s creepy replica bamboo hut and the tragic horror of watching him succumb to his worst impulses and try destroying the world to trap Shen Qingqiu by his side.

We have Lan Wangji warring internally with himself for years over his smothering need to hide Wei Wuxian from the world and save him from himself.

And then there’s Hua Cheng

Professional Gege Catch and Release Wildlife Expert Hua Cheng.

This man is a gege rehabilitation facilitator who does what he loves and loves what he does.

He tags his gege with a gps tracker so he can study his migration patterns. He humanely traps and relocates his gege whenever he’s strayed into danger.

If you hit a gege with your car, all you need to do is call Hua Cheng and he’ll be there with an animal control slip leash, a GoPro to promote his TikTok campaign promoting awareness of gege welfare and conservation to the masses, and Yin Yu is on the phone preparing the treatment center for a new arrival.

He’s one of those guys who lovingly cares for a feral cat colony in his backyard, providing handmade housing with heating and regular check ups.

He’s insane don’t get me wrong. But his crippling self doubt and unbreakable compulsion to provide merged in such a weird way, it comes off a little more wildlife rescue than I think is intended.

He Xuan: You won't believe who just came up here for the third time.

Hua Cheng: ........Don't joke about that.

He Xuan: I'm not, I swear! And he broke a bunch of stuff on his way in.

Hua Cheng: What.

He Xuan: Um, yeah, you know his two babies that you hate? He hit one with a giant bell and smashed the other one's palace.

Hua Cheng: I am definitely in the right religion.

When reading a Chinese web novel:

OH it's a quick and easy read! It's only 156 chapters with footnotes.

Only 9 episodes into Till the End of the Moon, and the amount of times someone vomits blood is astronomical. It's gotten to the point that I laugh everytime it happens. Does that make me an awful human?

Based on all the dramas I've seen, the most dangerous place to be in the jianghu, perhaps in the whole three realms and four continents, is at a wedding.

Hey!! I just found your blog recently, but I can just say that I'm OBSESSED with the way you draw Harry. It's absolutely perfect and please never change it 😂 Okay, anyway 😂 I was wondering if you could draw Harry flying up to the minister's box after England win in the World Cup (snitch still in hand, of course😂) and kissing Draco over the railing

ive never drawn a kiss pose before and boy was it a toughie hehehe

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.
