Tgcf book 5 is so funny to me because everyone is like “we have to keep this on the down low, we can’t let the ghosts know there’s a heavenly official infiltrating Mount Tonglu” and then everyone and their mother shows up for one reason or another and everyone is just like “yeah, this is fine”
For the past two months I have been explaining the plot of TGCF (or as he calls it: "the gay man lore™") to a friend of mine. I have heavily condensed the plot and we are still not done. Though I would like to tell you all the alternate names he has come up with
Xie Lian = Jay Leno
Hua Cheng = Little red ridding hood
San Lang = Little red vibing hood
Hong Hong-er = kys kid
Wu Ming = gaster the royal scientists
Feng Xin = thing one
Mu Qing = thing two
Nan Feng = thing three
Fu Yao = Thing four
Qi Ying = autism god
Yin Yu = low tier god
Lang Qianqiu = headband guy
Pei Ming = womanizer
Yushi Huang = Susie Deltarune
Lang Ying = Springtrap
Ban Yu = specific girl
Pei Lang = specific boy
Shi Qingxuan = Scott the woz
Shi Wudu = don't lose your head wudu
Black water = Black water
Qi Rong = pac man
Gu Zi = mochi
Jun Wu = Jesus
Ling Wen = female Shakespeare
Mei Nian Qing= gambling man
shi wudu: he may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing, slut-faced, ho-bag. but in reality he is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT
ling wen: that’s why her hair’s so big...cause it’s full of paperwork secrets
pei ming: one of the dumbest gods you will ever meet
and it’s all narrated by he xuan

VOLUME 5 MOMENTS THAT I ADORE (HUALIAN MY BELOVED) (ft. TINY HUA CHENG!!!!!)
1) Xie Lian watched him in a daze, not speaking a word.
Hua Cheng frowned slightly. “Your Highness, you…” Suddenly, Xie Lian’s free hand reached out and pinched Hua Cheng’s cheek. Hua Cheng’s eyes widened as his face changed shape from the entirely unexpected squishing.
“…Gege!”
Xie Lian laughed. “Ha ha ha ha ha ha…sorry, San Lang, but you’re too cute; I can’t help myself. Ha ha ha ha…” Hua Cheng was speechless.
2) Hua Cheng clasped his hands behind him. “Yes. I’ve endured this for too long. I can’t wait any longer.”
Just as he finished talking, Xie Lian slipped his hands under Hua Cheng’s arms and lifted him. He raised him high in the air and laughed.
“It’ll be such a shame! I won’t be able to pick you up like this once you’re grown again. I’d better hug you as much as I can right now. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…”
3) Xie Lian held Hua Cheng even tighter, and his hand smoothed his hair.
4) Hua Cheng reached out and lifted Xie Lian’s chin. “His temper is certainly nice, but mine is bad. No one but me can touch the things I love.”
5) “Try touching him, I dare you,” Hua Cheng warned frigidly. “Do you think I would so easily allow you lot to touch my heart’s dearest treasure?”
6) Only a single “ha” had left his lips when Xie Lian flung out his silk bandage; it whipped out so hard that Pei Ming was almost sent flying. He only barely dodged with a backward leap.
“Your Highness, just how deeply do you treasure Hua-chengzhu? Can’t even take a joke?”

Everyone keeps talking like he's an absolute sex God, but look at him! He's a fucking otter at Best! I could peg the ever living FUCK out of him and he'd probably thank me! (Yes I know he's fictional. No, I don't want to talk about it.) (Fuck off, let me make believe. Real life sucks.)
