I like to remember that Hua Cheng's physical body dissolves into butterflies because we use the metaphor "butterflies inside me" when we are fatally in love and he is completely made of this EXACT feeling.
i keep seeing this play out in real time and it's fucking hilarious

So idk if anyone else who is a Danmei fan was also a Percy jackson kid, but I was, so I’ve got a new series of polls!
DRUM ROLL PLEASE… 🥁🥁🥁
Who is this Danmei characters godly parent!
So like always we have to start with my fav, Xie Lian!!
*Disclaimer* there are like a ton of choices, so for this poll i will primarily stick with the main pantheon, but I’ll try and have an other option for any other deity options!!
Aand this comic is finally complete! Thank you all who read this and left feedback. Wish I could answer you all but I'm too mentally drained for this, still I appreciate every single comment I receive :> Title: "The Ghost King isn't dressed" Based on the extra of the same name. Contains potential spoilers for the book. Please don't reupload it anywhere.
about Ruoye
What’s interesting about Ruoye’s (若邪) name is that, the second character in its name, “ye” (邪), is usually pronounced as “xie” (not the “xie” in Xie Lian), and almost never as “ye.” However, mxtx confirmed the pronunciation of “Ruoye” herself. So what might be the significance of 邪 being pronounced as “ye”?
邪 is no longer pronounced as “ye” in modern Chinese, and there’re two instances in classical Chinese where it’s pronounced as “ye”: first, as an interrogative particle in a sentence; and secondly, when it’s used within the name of the ancient legendary sword Moye (莫邪). So it’s very hard not to associate Ruoye with Moye, the sword forged around 500 BC that has achieved mythical status in Chinese tales.
Moye is in fact originally the name of a swordsmith. Legend goes that Moye and her husband were commissioned by the king to forge swords, but they had difficulty melting the metal in the furnace when forging the sword, so Moye threw herself into the furnace which eventually induced the metal to melt. After the sword was made, it was named after Moye. So we see the similarity between the sword Moye and Xie Lian’s weapon Ruoye: they both came into being as a result of human sacrifice. Moye gave her own body to forge the sword; Ruoye came alive due to Xie Lian’s blood and the resentful and catastrophic energy given rise by the death of XL’s parents.
Behind both the stories of Moye and Ruoye, there’s the ancient Chinese superstition that in order to forge a weapon of the highest calibre and with its own soul, human sacrifice is required for it, so that human spirit and life force can be absorbed into the weapon. Blood, in particular, was seen as the essence of the human life force, and crucial to creating an object imbued with human spirit. This might explain why Ruoye was so close and loving to Xie Lian as soon as it came to life, as it was stained with Xie Lian’s blood. So to sum it up, the pronunciation of Ruoye’s name tells us two things: first, that it is a very ancient weapon, since 邪 is only pronounced as “ye” in classical Chinese; secondly, like the sword Moye, Ruoye has a dark and bloody origin in human sacrifice.

i tried to check the number of times the phrase “didn’t know whether to laugh or cry” appeared in mxtx novels. svsss: 0 times. mdzs: 4 times total. tgcf: my pdf crashed continuously, but it got to 27 before it did.
the only other person i believe can fight with xie lian in this aspect is shen qiao, who is extremely tired of dealing with lao yan’s antics.
hence, today we shall find out the true champion of indecision when it comes to outward display of emotion.
may the best daozhang win.

Every scrap of information I can find on Splatoon
Every bit of Character analysis made about Shadow the Hedgehog
And of course my shrine of TGCF mech.
I can’t believe how accurate this is. I’ve had a rock collection since I was a kid, and I’m still collecting them to this day.
Do any of you relate to this? If so, what do you like to collect? It can be plushies, toys, whatever. :)
Neurodivergent Girl
I'm tempted to say Wei Wuxian couldn't control Hua Cheng because his Yin Energy would be too overwhelming. I do think Wei Wuxian would be able to control Wu Ming though.
Serious question, and I've been thinking about it for weeks!
Can... Can.. Can Wei Wuxian control Hua Cheng? If not with Chenqing... Maybe with the Yin Tiger Tally...
I mean, Hua Cheng is a corpse or a ghost. So given the laws of nature-
Welcome to hell.
Aahhhh!!!!! I finally have the novel!!!
It came in today and I just ordered the second and third just now I’m so excited to read the series I can’t wait for new seasons of the anime I need to know what happens next PRONTO!!
HEY AO3 AUTHORS!
Have you updated your permissions recently? If so, now is the time! Why? Permission statements are SUPER HELPFUL for other creators who want to engage with your work! Podficcers, fanartists, translators, etc, may not know if you allow it, and therefore might be hesitant to reach out or share their work with you. If you want to encourage transformative works of your own passion projects - or inversely, set some boundaries - then Permission statements are AMAZING!
TYPES OF PERMISSION STATEMENTS:
BP/Blanket Permission: Remixes, podfics, fan art, etc- it’s all good to go! Have fun!
Limited Permission: Some works are up for transformative works, others aren’t!
Ask First: Creators should ask first
Putting this on your Tumblr or in your AO3 bio can go a LONG way, and help spread the practise! If you want to share your own, reblog this with your own statement - and maybe I’ll gift you something, if you do allow it!
I don’t have issues for the other main MXTX ships, because the romance in TGCF and MDZS does not suffer from a lot of those issues. Hualian is a VERY healthy relationship/romance, with a lot of the issues that COULD be brought up being dealt with or explained later. Wangxian starts out with some questionable things (for example: teen lwj wanting to SA wwx), but they’re resolved BEFORE the couple begins to view each other in a genuine romantic light, and when they’re brought up again, LWJ doesn’t gaslight WWX about it, and is apologetic. He doesn’t make excuses or manipulate him, and they have enough trust built up at that point and open communication that WWX is able to understand it.
That said, I still am open about these issues with people I recommend the series to. That’s because even if contextually, certain aspects that would be toxic in other pairings might work in this one, it doesn’t CHANGE the actions of the characters. As fans, it’s part of our responsibility to make sure newer fans have a good experience in fandom. This doesn’t mean you have to change what you do - but simply be open about your content and fandom (thoroughly tagging, acknowledging problematic aspects, and being kind towards differing opinions), and allowing people to make informed choices to choose to interact or not interact with content.
Both Bingqiu and Moshang undoubtedly have toxic/questionable aspects to their relationship, but when looking at why I think Moshang works, and Bingqiu just doesn’t, I mainly point to how the “abuse” of their partners is handled.
When SQQ is abused by Binghe, Binghe plays the victim. Instead of being straightforward and serious, he cries and pleads, making HIMSELF the one in need of comfort, and causing SQQ to feel bad for being the ACTUAL victim. Moreover, Binghe is FULLY AWARE what he’s doing when he hurts or manipulates Qingqiu. There isn’t an excuse there.
Meanwhile, with MBJ and SQH, there’s a clear reason for their miscommunication: an issue of culture. While Binghe was raised in human society, Mobei-jun is very much attuned to demon culture - and has blind spots. But unlike Binghe, when he becomes aware of the harm he’s doing, and how it’s being perceived, he doesn’t play the victim:
He sincerely apologizes to Shang Qinghua
He offers a way of “correcting” it
He then tries to do what Shang Qinghua had told him would be better understood, showing that he cares more about Qinghua’s feelings than tradition.
Mobei-Jun isn’t mean, like I see a lot of fanworks imply. Mobei-Jun sincerely does NOT WANT to hurt Shang Qinghua, and when he realizes he is, he stops. Binghe hurts Shen Qingqiu knowingly, and when he does, he plays the victim or guilts Shen Qingqiu. This is why Moshang, in my eyes, just works.
To add on: in TGCF, the Sinner’s Pit arc chapter title scheme is “Dallying Hualian, Night Fall in Sinner’s Pit.” Even if they aren’t named in the canon, they still have their ship name incorporated!
MXTX's funniest and most ingenious author trick:
Character/animal/object: has a fuckass name
Reason: character in the story is terrible at naming things
Like the peak of this is obviously SVSSS with "stupid name? Blame Airplane!"
But like "Fairy is a silly name for a dog because Jin Ling inherited Jiang Cheng's stupid way of naming dogs" is also great
(I love the names that's just how it's treated in canon)
Like that's just fun
