Because Sometimes, Being A Good Believer Is Also Fucking Your God's Self Sacrificial Tendencies And Genocide

Water Lilies painted by Claude Monet (1840 - 1926)

Maybe "Paradise Manor" wasn't brothel-sounding enough actually

Hua Cheng would come out with hickeys all over his neck looking very pleased with himself and is like “you should see the other guy ;)” and Xie Lian comes out with heart eyes and a big smile and has lipstick marks all over his face

pls assume i'm thinking about this moment 24/7 all week every week

the versatility of xie lian as a character is peak

he's a sweetie. he's the picture of masculinity. he's a total cunt. he's a hardened soldier. he's graceful, ethereal. his fanon animal representation is a ferret. he could lift you and your mother with three fingers and not break a sweat. he would eat a bun off the floor. he knows he's better than you. he's a monsterfucker. someone could give him a knife stabby style and his husband would be more concerned about it than him. he does not want a free pile of gold bars. he will call you ugly and then get embarrassed about it. he's the kindest person you know. he's a feminist. the only reason the strongest ghost king in the canon world doesn't get bent over nightly is because he likes being a pie so much. he's got mad autism. he told his friend every one of his character flaws to his face in one breath. he has the world's shittiest luck. he will announce that he has erectile dysfunction to a crowd with no remorse or hesitation. he does not want to be emperor. he's an insufferable wife guy. he's gay. he's traumatized. his daughter is in a pickle pot. he'd slam your face into concrete and teehee over your twitching body. he helps old ladies cross the road. he's sarcastic. he's so nice. i love him

My goal in life is to draw them in the stupidest way possible (as a treat)

Dianxia's words of wisdom 🙏

Medusa Lian and blind Hua Cheng!! This drawing is kinda old but I'm very proud of it!!

I was thinking this AU as some kind of canon divergence in which JW "walk in" when XL is still recovering after being stabbed ×1000 and changes him into Medusa as a way to "keep people away from XL so that they'll never hurt him again" and so XL just has to live completely alone in random forests to avoid changing people into statues kzkdkd

I was also thinking of the snakes being this universe's Ruoye (= an extension of XL that still has its own will) but not sure about that one lmao

Still honoring my divine mission of making them as small and stupid as the universe will allow :3
