Hua Cheng is like if Orpheus refused to take no for an answer, even if it meant walking through hell forever, even if it meant failing to be with him over and over again, it’d be worth it to walk by Xie Lian’s side every single time. Like, there is no universe where he doesn't look back (he loves Xie Lian too much), but also there's no universe where he doesn't go, okay let's go back and get stronger, so looking back won't even matter, and if it does, then that's okay, he’ll keep walking into hell anyway even if it means he only gets to be with Xie Lian for a short while. He'd still do it over and over again.

I think "he fell first, he fell harder" is such a perfect description for Hualian

Hua Cheng has been in love for eight centuries, loving Xie Lian is an intrinsic part of his being, he wouldn't exist without it. It's so deeply a part of him you can't separate it, he's been in love since he was a child, before he fully knew what love was

And then there's Xie Lian who's rejected any sort of romantic love for eight hundred years and kept his cultivation the entire time he's been a scrap collector. And then he meets Hua Cheng and falls so fast and so completely for him. he's ready to be a homewrecker, he's happy to give up his cultivation. He falls so fast for Hua Cheng, he just completely turned his world upside down in such an unexpected way

I absolutely agree!

thinking about during all 3 meetings between xie lian and hua cheng, xie lian is wearing some sort of face covering: the golden mask, the calamity mask, the bridal veil, and how it sets the stage for what is to follow

🏮 The walk along the Ghost city

[eruhamster]

I feel like people don't really get that Hua Cheng's cultivation path is quite literally the worship of Xie Lian and I think it makes them miss something cute.

Xie Lian's cultivation path is religious; he's a devote daoist and meditation and following its tenants bring him power.

Hua Cheng's cultivation path is just as religious, but his religion is literally Xie Lian. That's where he gets his power. There is a trope in Wuxia & related genres (these are gods so not technically Wuxia I think but I don't remember the specific name) where someone cultivates and meditates as a hermit in a cave until becoming a master. The Cave of Ten Thousand Gods, the Kiln... Hua Cheng did that, and we can tell what he was doing in there was worshiping Xie Lian.

And with that... He literally gets power from Xie Lian in a more obvious sense. He & his spiritual weapons get stronger when kissed and complimented, since they're being blessed by his god. The butterflies swarming when XL tells them good job. E'ming being able to grow to normal size after having shrunken due to XL praising him and giving him a kiss (which people keep acting like is a blowjob metaphor as if that wouldn't imply HC is a grower and not a shower which I think would be dumb), HC himself being able to heal and start getting bigger when XL gives him a kiss, too.

HC can give XL tons of spiritual energy by gifting him it through kksses and sex because it's a form of worship, but it also works the opposite way, too

The most important thing about hualian is that they were always going to be in each other’s lives and like each other to some capacity. It’s not that Hua Cheng waited and searched for Xie Lian because he was pining for some long-lost prince he'd once seen.

He’s looking for the kind soul that made him eat so he wouldn’t die. He’s looking for the older soldier he protected during a hard fight, who told him he wanted this kid to train under him. He’s looking for the man who got drunk and spilt his sorrows to a ghost fire and talked to him like he was a person. He’s looking for his fellow war orphan, who was self-destructive and suicidal when he last saw him. He’s looking for his general, whom he followed into a ghost rage. Xie Lian is all of these things to Hua Cheng, and more importantly, Hua Cheng is all these things to Xie Lian.

He never forgot that kid he wanted to protect, that young soldier he wanted to train. He remembers the devoted ghost fire fondly, and Wu Ming is the wound on Xie Lian’s soul that never healed. They were always thinking about each other. They always cared for each other to some capacity. They like each other. They are friends. Like, yes, greatest love story ever told, he looked for him forever, but Xie Lian had no idea!! Like, if Xie Lian had known Wu Ming lived, he would have looked for him, too.

They care for each other so much, they really do. Xie Lian isn’t like a prize to be gained for waiting; he’s his long-lost friend, whom he’s met again, and they are reuniting. It’s beautiful. They are beautiful.

Yeah safe to say that I’m still hopelessly obsessed with these two.

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

[devourallusurvey]
