rereading tgcf and this may be my favorite hua cheng moment LMAO . like i forget so often that hua cheng is so powerful and terrifying bc he's just so silly
heaven official's blessing is so ridiculous sometimes xD
i'm at the mount tonglun part of the story and just can't help imagining it from the state preceptor's point of view:
state preceptor stands inside the mountain, trying to discuss his plans with the mountain spirit. then:
a screaming, banished ex-heavenly official runs past
another heavenly official runs past, in dogged pursuit of the first one
am exiled god and a ghost girl make it rain scorpion-snakes for some reason and they do it so much that snakes get stuck halfway in the moving walls
a bit further away, a currently-male-but-actually-a-woman god is getting dragged around by their robes like a sack of rice, so very much not in control it's not even funny (to them. to us it's very funny)
even further away, a godly general is punching the walls with a makeshift 'weapon' made of a poisoned femur bone, so hard that the bone cracks
and when/if the state preceptor tries to open up a new path, what would he have found? his darling ex-mentee protegé using the "walls are moving" excuse to grind against a ghost king as they make puppy eyes at each other xD
state preceptor: "..."
state preceptor: "that's it! i quit!"

lol i don't even know who this guy is and i already pity him for getting himself involved in THAT mess xD xD xD

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xianle and his most devoted believer the Ghost King Crimson Rain Sought Flower ❤️
qi rong is my favorite deranged little man ever. like yes omg qi rong eat that person yes qi rong cause more chaos
i support his wrongs and celebrate his rights
My favourite thing about the Xianle trio is just how sickeningly codependent close they are. Like, what do you mean you haven’t been friends in 800 years, your friend group fell out in the most painful and traumatic way it possibly could have, and you all have the absolute most reason to hate each other- but in The Cave Of 10,000 gods Mu Qing and Feng Xin were absolutely appalled at the disrespect to their prince. They were fiercely protective, refusing to let Xie Lian bear witness to what they thought was an incredibly perverted insult to his honour. They went toe-to-toe with one of the most terrifying ghosts who ever lived, all in defence of him, and did so without ever thinking twice. They dragged him through that cave system with desperately protective determination, caring for him fiercely despite being misinformed about the situation, and even though they had no obligation to. I’m biting people. Mu Qing and Feng Xin never stopped caring about Xie Lian. He’s no longer their prince, he’s no longer their employer nor even their friend, but they would still put their lives in peril for him. Even when they thought he was a violent criminal (Lang Qianqiu ily but pls kys) they visited his palace to give him medicine for his arm (something about Mu Qing brushing off his injury and saying it isn’t that bad cause all martial gods get injured, then being the first in line to go heal him is so sickening and vile I love him) and make sure he’s alright, then physically fought over the implications from each other about the other having been a bad friend. All of the bullshit trauma, all of the heartache, all of the reason they could have to not give a shit about him, and they were throwing hands over who was a better friend. I hate them. (I love them.)
I do actually believe Yin Yu is probably paid pretty well by Hua Cheng but I also believe that whatever he gets paid to deal with Simplord Hua Cheng will never be enough.
PART 2 of my role swap AU agenda 👹MXTX Gongs (reversed)! (We got Peak Lord Binghe, Crown Prince Hua Cheng, and Yilling Laozu Wangji)
i keep thinking about how much i'd love to read tgcf from hua cheng's perspective but then i realize so much of it would just be
"gege!!! gege looks so radiant today... holy shit it's gege!!! FUCK YOU mu qing, FUCK YOU feng xin, ill fucking - holy shit is that gege???"
how can one man be so badass and also such a clusterfuck. no wonder xie lian loves him so much
