I love wuxia and xianxia novels. Extreme violence but formal speech patterns. Everyone is so politely bitchy. I’m sure it’s even better in the original translation.
“This humble one anticipates learning from this renowned master at a later date” = bitch next time I see you I’m going to fully kick your ass.
“Pray this master may instruct me?” = I am starting a non-optional fistfight in the middle of this inn, no I don’t care that you’re halfway through a meal.
“This humble one praises the ancestors of your venerable self for their wisdom and prays it falls to you” = you’re dumb as hell
Xiao Hua's outfits, Ultimate Note edition
(Warning: contains spoilers for the entirety of the series!)
White outdoors co-ord: his most used outfit, thanks to the Tamutuo arc during which showers and changes of clothes were Not a thing, apparently. First appears in a deceptively un-pink version, but fear not! A pink t-shirt soon peeks from under the outer, more-or-less sandproof layer.
Pink sweater with a weird grey chest pocket: a favourite of his, especially paired with white trousers and this light zippered jacket. Ideal for desert outings, dubcon countryside dates courtesy of your situationship, and heartwarming Family Hobbies (identity theft) with one's cousin.
Pink sweater with vertical pink pocket: solid outfit for impromptu screaming matches and/or brooding sessions on your personal opera stage, always paired with a crisp white shirt. Optional rolled-up sleeves for a more casual look.
Pink sweater, but different: a darker shade of pink, perfect when you really want to get a message across (the message being Don't Piss Me Off Or Else).
White sweater: my favourite! Look at him being so soft and squishable in his comfy knitted(?) sweater. He's even taking some deserved time off to rehearse opera moves while wearing it. 10/10 extremely huggable (at your own risk).
Pink hoodie: a casual item for special occasions such as breaking and entering somebody's uncle's house, or making sure your boyfriend pet mercenary doesn't stray too far away from you.
Pink rainjacket: another multi-function clothing item, for day-to-day activities such as hiking in a spider-infested jungle, navigating deadly traps on abrupt cliffs, pondering about sheep, and trolling your maybe-dead boyfriend back to life.
Light jacket: versatile, can be worn over white OR pink t-shirts! Pairs very well with pink tactical trousers when the need for displaying your impressive rock-climbing abilities arises (one never knows when that can happen).
Risqué white shirt: almost indecent given his usual amount of layers (figurative and literal), and worn as is only once in the entire series, when having lunch with Huo Xiuxiu. Otherwise worn under the pink bomber jacket (see below).
Pink bomber jacket: when you try to get intel from a Wu family elder. Doesn't necessarily work, but at least one looks cute in it.
Pastel pink custom suit: a must-wear at the poshest restaurant in your area, especially when your cousin (again) tries his best to bankrupt his entire family, and yours while he's at it. Sometimes you just have to fight a gang leader about it.
Bonus: special outfits!
Full opera garb: what can I say, somebody knows how to make an entrance (thank you, Er-ye).
Bustier dress for Friendly Deception and Shapeshifting Shenanigans: what it says on the tin (who hasn't resorted to this at least once in their life). Worn with discreet and probably exorbitant jewellery, but I had to make editorial choices re: screenshots.
Unflattering diving suit: sorry, Xiao Hua, but even you cannot make this work. In his defense, this is Sanshu's equipment so any subsequent sartorial choices can be blamed on him (among many other things).

WHO THE HELL IS WU XIE
i want you all in the wu xie fandom to know to never be sorry to me, the op, because all your comments light up my life even if this started off as a separate post for a separate fandom im so happy it became a cherished post in yours <3 have a good day all
I'm sorry but I saw "the Wu Xie fandom" and this scene was all I could think of XD
Jiang Peiyao as Zhang Haiqi in Archives: The Nanyang Mystery
That’s it, that’s the show.
Coupled with this
Let us not forget
wait there’s one more in gif format:
I APPROVE OF THIS ADDITION.
Basically the overall plot of DMBJ is:
ASSORTED PREDECESSORS: Right, that’s all of our decades-long plans laid in place around the mysteries of the Ultimate and the quest for immortality. The only thing left to make sure of is that the Wu heir at a certain point in time is a nice, biddable boy.
WU XIE:
Reblogging for one very important addition that I can’t believe I forgot until now:
Lmao the last one is like the most important one 😂
Wu Xie: Our plan is to have no plan at all, they’ll never see it coming
Adding one more that is ALWAYS relevant:
Adding some novel!Wu Xie who in the same breath as he said he was never going to open another coffin, wonders what’s in a nearby coffin
Do I need to say anything more? Do I really? No.
I would like to add ‘I couldn’t bear it and began to touch everything’, which should be the title of Wu Xie’s autobiography
Omg @lanxlchen these tags deserve to be added because YES
After your second or third, Wu Xie, you really have to acknowledge it’s a trend.
Oh I have one to add, too, it’s like my favorite line from all the shows.
Wu Xie freely admits his head is empty
You know,I feel like after we thoroughly blorbified their post, the least we can do is immortalize poor @bitronic‘s pain on this thread:
How could we forget this…
Back with some more of Wu Xie being a disaster in the novels
First, Pangzi calls him out on his habit of finding zombies
Second, he’s hallucinated so many times he’s declared himself ruler of the Hallucination Victims club
I loved loved loved Meng Ziyi in Tigers Sniff the Rose trailer. She conveyed all the damage and hunger the character has.
Her character is very much if Princess Wanning was allowed to be the FL and I loved that.
It took me a very very long time to warm up to her character but I ended up loving her (and she always made sense) and it's all so epic on reread.
couple dynamic where one character is a bitch and the other one is also a bitch and it's good they found each other because they would drive any other person alive to madness
Said it before and I’ll say it again
haha that's a nice starry-eyed ambition you've got there buddy. sure hope the narrative doesn't warp it into something ruthless and all-consuming
there's certainly something about a character that sticks to a very rigid moral code explicitly because they tried doing whatever makes sense at the time and it went horribly, horribly wrong, and so they have lost their trust in their own ability to tell right from wrong and have a genuine desire to not hurt people that they don't know how to live up to without effectively outsourcing their morality to something or someone else. and then the something else fails, because of course it does.
DIRECTOR: Hey Tom Hardy here is some weird shit we're gonna put on your face to hide your beautiful little kissy lips pretty boy mouth
TOM HARDY, ENTIRELY NOT LISTENING BECAUSE HE'S BUSY FORMULATING AN ACCENT NO HUMAN BEING ON EARTH HAS EVER FUCKING HAD: Sure boss
Dreamt I had to come up with a new aesthetic and my idea was "celestial uncle"
Celestial uncle was like... unflattering middle aged man clothes but printed with centuries old cosmological diagrams and various esoteric imagery
Failed panoramic.
define failed
dude
the dream is collapsing
can’t go wrong with pining while fucking as a trope. truly it has it all. pining. awkward sexual situations. weapons grade insecurity for all parties involved. the desperation as they inevitably fall further and further while hating themselves for being unable to stick to the contract of no strings attached. etc. you understand
we will always get through the bad times
