saw a lot of posts with the cure by olivia rodrigo in relation to jem and his love for tessa literally destroying him from the inside but did we consider that the cure is also about will herondale thinking his love destroys everyone but jem loving will regardless and believing his love can fix him...

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

How it feels watching your tumblr mutuals engage in discourse about fandoms you've never heard of

not to compare my darlings but…

everyone always quotes the ”she realised she had forgotten the precise blue of his eyes” but to me the most devastating moment from the epilogue will always be ”i’m still a parabatai, but my other half is gone”

it’s actually not misogynistic to say astrology is bogus, and it is indeed way way more misogynistic to believe that things that can’t be proven rationally through science are More Female.

i’m sorry but at some point it feels like representing the uk at eurovision is just a humiliation ritual

"hua cheng is so jealous and possessive -" WRONG. that guy would watch xie lian date someone else and ask xie lian every day what his day was like and how the date was and it would literally kill him (for 19th time) to hear about it but he'd still ask because he likes seeing xie lian be happy.

if hua cheng ever dated anyone else (not that he would) xie lian would 100% arrange for a mysterious accident to happen. xie lian got jealous over ghost fire's beloved and wu ming's beloved and san lang's beloved and hua cheng's beloved despite the fact that it's literally. i have no words. you know what i mean.

love that xie lian canonically gets jealous like he was so sullen and gloomy every time hua cheng brought up his special someone and he literally threw himself in front of hua cheng’s sweaty shirtless torso cause the idea of someone else seeing even an inch of his man half-naked had him stressed as hell ... i truly feel that xie lian is the possessive one cause while we all know hua cheng is protective and will hold a centuries-long grudge, i feel like he would never dare to lay claim to xl whereas xl is like mine mine mine, this ghost is mine!!! and if someone else touches him i'll throw up and dig a hole to die in!!

(holds their hand) i love you guys...so much

Without thinking, Xie Lian raised a finger and poked Hua Cheng’s face.

[yea-baiyi]

ok but like imagine being hua cheng. and when you were a teenager you were trapped in a cave with your god when he got hit with sex pollen and you already felt ugly and unlovable but he stabbed himself through the gut rather than touch you and you saw him shirtless and horrifyingly that’s how you found out you were gay

and then you meet him again centuries later when you’ve grown up and become comfortable in your own skin, and you think you might be in love with him except a part of you still feels terrified that he’ll look at you and find you hideous again. but you want to trust him so you show him your real face. and. turns out he finds your adult self so hot that you make him horny for the first time in his life and he keeps doing and saying absolutely deranged things because he does not know how to cope. he panics and tries to give you, a ghost, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and while you’re lying there trying not to freak out he is beside you acting out his one man humiliation-style comedy show because he has never wanted to kiss someone before let alone fuck. he agrees to get locked in a coffin together because he never even considered the possibility that he might pop a boner except he does pop a boner and now you are stuck under him while he squirms and you are trying very hard not to think about your own boner

i don’t know how to end this post i just think that’s so funny. and they live happily ever after and have lots of gay sex. hua cheng keeps winning. slay king

I love how Xuan Ji and Yushi Huang in tgcf are like an inverse of Madam Yu and Jiang Yanli in mdzs. Both Xuan Ji and Madam Yu are female characters who feel emboldened by both their physical power and their social status to make the lives of those below them living hells, particularly other girls and women. Xuan Ji feels that she is better than Yushi Huang by virtue of being an acclaimed female general while Yushi Huang was a forgotten and unloved princess, while Madam Yu was a renowned cultivator and literally Jiang Yanli’s mother, able and willing to arrange Jiang Yanli’s life to suit her own whims while denigrating Jiang Yanli for her personality and interests. But in mdzs, Madam Yu’s vitriol is given a sort of saintly status by virtue of her untimely death, her abuses and toxicity elevated to unaccountability by her being turned into a “martyr.” Jiang Yanli, in turn, is disappeared into just “another death” by her own living relatives, her personhood relegated to personal vendettas, and her kindness and mildness only remembered through the man everyone falsely blames for her death.

This is the exact opposite of the situation in tgcf. Xuan Ji’s bitter obsessiveness is not rewarded by her early death, mainly because she drags that poison with her into the afterlife, killing young brides that had the lives she wished she did. She relegated to crawling on her knees forever for the actions that she took to ruin her own life, instead of being able to push the blame of her abuses and self-sabotages onto someone else. Her “strong” personality didn’t make her a better or more admirable person to those around her; it just made her contemptible for who she was willing to flex such strength for and on. In contrast, Yushi Huang ascends through her selfless kindness, remaining the mild-mannered, sweet girl she’d been in life even as she transformed into an irreplaceable and revered god. She didn’t need to become a “girlboss” or to stoop to the definition of “strength” befitting a character like Xuan Ji to be appreciated, because there is nothing weak or unworthy about being a “stereotypical” girl, someone kind, mild, and sweet. And by the end of tgcf, it’s Xuan Ji who dissipates under the realization that her centuries of bitterness led to nothing, while Yushi Huang continues on with the peace that she’s cultivated in her own life, unconcerned with how such a woman viewed her.
