I am 100% completely convinced that on Mount Yujun when Hua Cheng burst into thousands of butterflies that he did not mean to do that. That man was freaking out so bad at finally finding Xie Lian again and holding his hand and helping him and Xie Lian being right there that when he finally saw just the slightest glimpse of Xie Lian’s face and the thought of Xie Lian seeing him that his nerves took over and he burst into thousands of butterflies. All throughout the walk, Hua Cheng was trying his damnedest to keep it the fuck together (literally) but he just couldn’t anymore. You cannot convince me otherwise. He held Xie Lian’s hand all through the walk, but then he shakes Xie Lian’s hand off the next time they meet? Yeah, he’s scared he’s gonna explode into butterflies again and that would Not Be Cool and Ruin His Image he’s curating for Xie Lian as this cool reliable guy he can come to for help and depend on.

wwx: [looks directly into the camera] wow, it's kind of crazy how what's happening to jin guangyao now is so similar to what happened to me 13 years ago! in both of our cases, once the mob made up its mind, it was completely unwilling to consider the truth and instead just freely speculated on crimes the accused could have done until the accused was blamed of everything under the sun! and, in both of our cases, the legitimate grievances the mob had against us often came second to the mob's anger that someone of a lower class was living "beyond their station"!

mdzs fans: Read 5.55PM

mdzs fans: anyways, here's why wwx is Pure Good and jgy is Pure Evil and how if you dare compare then you deserve the chair actually--

i think it’s interesting how people often characterize lan wangji’s perspective of wei wuxian during and after the yiling laozi arc like “free my man, he did nothing wrong.” but to me, i feel like this is just selling short his character and his devotion to wwx. the way i see it, when wei wuxian is at his worst and in the years after when wwx comes back, lan wangji isn’t condoning his actions of that era. it’s more like, “i know you were trying to do the right thing, and things spiraled out of control, and i failed to help you back then, and i won’t fail you again.” it’s not wei wuxian’s actions that lan wangji is so defensive of but his intentions. even if lwj didn’t know at the time (and even when he comes back, at first) why wwx chose the ghostly path and gave up righteous cultivation, he has an unshakeable faith in wwx’s moral code, that wwx will do what he feels is right. or at least, doing what he thinks he needs to do to survive. this doesn’t necessarily mean that lan zhan thinks what wwx did as his mental state eroded WAS right. we see this so many times when lan zhan tries to help him, hoping that wwx will return to gusu with him. it’s not until it’s too late, when wwx is truly breaking down, that he understands that that wasn’t the right way to help wwx. the right way is to just be there for him, which is what he does when wwx returns. letting wwx make his own decisions while showing him that there is still someone who believes in him. imo this is much more meaningful than the other interpretation that i see a lot that i mentioned above. it’s about being there for wei wuxian even if he does make the wrong decisions because at the end of the day he knows that wwx, at his core, has good intentions.

Love how xie lian doesn’t even need to be the emperor to ensure heaven gets a fair and just ruler. Everyone knows now that if they are not, the humble scrap immortal will come and swiftly dethrone them like he did the last emperor

Saying Xie Lian doesn't ever need Hua Cheng's protection just tells me you don't care what happens to Xie Lian. Because when you leave that man alone he WILL throw himself on a sword both metaphorically and literally. He's not weak in any sense of the word... well unless you mean weak to his husband’s roguish mischievous charms, then yes. but dang someone needs to put a backpack leash on that old man he keeps walking directly into traffic.

Any thoughts on ChengYao (Jiang Cheng/Jin Guangyao)? I just find it funny that A-Yao basically meets all of Jiang Cheng's spouse requirements hehe

they would have the worst sex in the world. so unbelievably bad that jgy would do it again just to be sure it really was that inexplicably awful

it shouldn't be possible, right? jc is objectively beautiful, well formed, all that. jgy is bendy and determined. it should at least be adequate

but they both end up on their back, staring at the ceiling, wondering if that even counts. surely that was, by some culture's definition, sex

the sect would be run fucking flawlessly tho
