👉👈 flower god xl,, 🥺

from Paper Flowers for the God of Gods by @mrcformoso !

[julesdraws]

This Xie Lian is from the fic that made me unironically ugly sob (and i haven't even finished it yet), "Paper Flowers for the God of Gods" by @mrcformoso where Xie Lian is a Flower God. PLSPLSPLSPSL go read it.

Orrrrr, if you prefer audio, go listen to the podfic version, recorded by @brurbrur , it'll probably just make you sob more, pinky promise <3

Flowers: lil' sunflowers, white daisies, and daffodils for hope and rebirth (when your florist friend tells you what flowers to put in your God's hair, you trust)

[mrcformoso]

Ahhhhhh I know I've been super quiet lately (burnout is a b****) but still receiving so much love across my fics is so surreal like I can't even ---

Another amazing piece inspired by Paper Flowers for the God of Gods aaaaaaa XL looks so pretty huhuhuhu

Finding amazing artists through this fic has been such a pleasure! Thank you for the art!!!

[sandersstudies]

I’m really curious what are y’all’s fanfiction and fiction squicks?

I know the word has fallen from super-popular use but I think we need to revitalize it as a term (for a deep-seated distaste or turn-off from certain tropes, writing forms, character types, etc.) What makes you put down a book or close a tab so fast?

[mrcformoso]

Big chunks of text.

And it's not like me judging the formatting or anything! I would love to read it but I literally can't. Bundled up words physically hurt to read and strain my eyes :(

[versatileversion]

What I love about Hua Cheng is that, despite being utterly in love with Xie Lian and adoring him and waiting for him for centuries- he isn’t the “If I can’t have you no one else can” type of lover.

No.

He’s the “If I can’t have you, may the person that does get you treat you with the utmost respect that you deserve. May they love you more than the stars and I only hope you will be happy throughout it.” type of lover.

And yet- Xie Lian chose him.

I think that’s beautiful.

[mrcformoso]

A word to describe it is Unconditional.

Hua Cheng loves Xie Lian throughout all of his different eras, even if he completely expected to be rejected and left alone.

As I described it in Mind in Madness, he had seen Xie Lian from the good, to the bad, to the worst. When he praises Xie Lian, he doesn't do it seeing only The Prince Who Saved His Life, or the God Who Gave His Life Meaning. He also praises The Xie Lian Who Failed. The Xie Lian Who Was Tortured. The Cruel Xie Lian. The Xie Lian Who Became A Calamity.

Hua Cheng saw all of who Xie Lian was and loves him.

And he would even if Xie Lian did not love him back. Becauae that would've been just another aspect of Xie Lian. When Hua Cheng braced himself for Xie Lian's response to his love and devotion, he fully expected rejection, and though he was scared of it, he would have accepted it.

Would it change anything? No.

Xie Lian exists, therefore Hua Cheng loves him.

Maybe it's just me as a Filipino who has lived through a murderous dictatorship and oligarchies in a queerphobic country controlled by the rich who brutalize grassroots pro worker movements all under the military abuse of US imperialism but...

You just gotta keep showing up. Support each other. Don't just fight for yourself. The work is hard, but you just gotta keep doing it. You'll always see results, even if they're not always the ones you want, or as big as you want them to be.

All your work always matters. Even if it doesn't feel like it at first. It always matters.

[motziedapul]

12 years of murderous and plunderous dictators but fuck it we ball

I forgot to update this when it happened but Duterte was arrested by the ICC because people, especially women in the Philippines, never stopped working to bring him to justice. Dr. Raquel Fortun examined the bodies of drug war victims and the evidence she found is being used in the case. Photographers like Raffy Lerma and Ezra Acayan took photos of the many killings by police.

People like Jude Sabio, Antonio Trillanes, members of the Magdalo partylist, and Leila de Lima, submitted the case to the ICC, then activists and family members of the victims led by the National Union of People's Lawyers also submitted documents to the ICC.

People like Patricia Evangelista and Maria Ressa continued to bring his crimes to light internationally.

All this, alongside the continuous work of activists, is what helped us get to this point. Sara Duterte in impeachment proceedings because of her corruption as Vice President. Rodrigo Duterte in the ICC awaiting trial. After 7 years, because they never stopped working towards justice.

The work always matters.

Can we get less ”baby girl Xie Lian” representation and more ”badass Xie Lian” rep?

I feel like so many people water down Xie Lian’s character to make him be all sweet when there’s obviously a badass layer to him

and like I will be the first one to dunk on how shallow and one-dimensional MXTX’s characters are but the thing that makes Xie Lian (and the whole book series if I’m being honest) interesting is the fact that there’s a badass layer to him.

[mrcformoso]

THIS.

Honestly I make XL more badass in my fics and you can see that in Paper Flowers and Mind in Madness. Like he's adorable af but by he ends up being feared more than HC in both stories hahahahaha

[mrcformoso]

Free HuaLian Prompt!

There's a Filipino superstition called "Pagpag". Basically, when you're coming from a cemetery, spirits cling to you and follow you out. You shouldn't bring them home, so you pass by a mall, store, or restaurant and stay there for a bit to "drop them off" before you head home.

So night shift Grave Keeper XL, who can see ghosts, always practices pagpag before going home because he can see the spirits following him. He tries to drop them off in places they'll enjoy, or places where they wont bother anyone.

One day, a small spirit (HC) seems to be particularly attached with him. No matter where XL went, it would cling to him and it seemed happy just being attached to XL's sleeve.

And so, XL decides to take it home.

Hey, do you already have plans for future fics? You always write such long fics and I think this take a long time planning, right?

I don't speak for all fanfic authors but I am definitely a planner. I mean, when you read my long fics you can kinda get the vibe coz I foreshadow a lot so when you go back it reads different hahaha

Mind in Madness, I started planning that about 3 months before I posted the first chapter. Paper flowers, I planned about 2 months before, and A Matter of Time was also about 2 months before.

I think the only exception is BAD END. REWIND? because it's my low spoon fic so I planned it like...in 3 days HAHAHA

So yes, I have like...3? 4? fics under planning but I'm gonna slow down in writing coz I'm getting burnt out balancing my life + recovering my leg. The fics are helping me keep my head up but also I'm getting very tired. After Bad End, Rewind? I might take like 2 months or so off just to recover before I get back to writing. Hopefully I can plan more fics after a break.

[mrcformoso]

hi can i just say i LOVED ‘mind in madness, heart in peace’ so much??? like all the little details and references…also ‘sleep’ was very short and sweet! i swear you write so much good fic <3

Aaaaaaa thank you so much you're so sweet 🥰🥰🥰

Link to chapter here!

We're at the second to the last chapter of BAD END. REWIND? The end is on the horizon.

Chapter Summary: Xie Lian and Hua Cheng make their relationship public, and Jun Wu reacts…as expected.

Fic Summary:

On the day before Xie Lian’s 18th birthday, his life changed. His world upended and twisted around, destroying him and his future. He was saved by his loving godfather, who took him away from all the pain and suffering.

On Xie Lian’s 19th birthday, he died, betrayed by the very man who saved him, used and tossed aside like he was nothing.

“XIE LIAN!!!” A beautiful man with an eyepatch called, devastated. “I’m so sorry – I was too late, I was too –”

…

(BAD END. REWIND?)

On the day before Xie Lian’s 18th birthday, he woke up.

Hello

I love your work for MXTX! Did you also read SVSSS? If the answer is yes what did you think about it?

Thank you!!

And no, I haven't yet. I've been too busy to pick it up but I definitely want to one day!

[mrcformoso]

Hello,

I finished your fic Paper Flowers and it is such a cool AU. I love how you twisted the canon but the characters are still similar to the ones we know.

I want to ask if you could tell us more about the death of Shi Wudu and the fallout of Beefleaf. Or maybe about the dynamic between the Three Tumors, Jun Wu and XL. How much did they know? I mean we all know they have skeletons in the closet.

Also thank you for the extra with Yin Yu and the scenes with He Xuan. I love it when authors show that HC has a social life without XL. He has friends (and in your AU even siblings 🥰).

Hello! I'm so happy you liked the fic!!! I'm so proud of that one <3

The death of Shi Wudu was simpler because he was weak from his festival failing so HX killed him no problem. How I imagine it turned out was that SQX walked in after he was killed and they argued over who is morally right and HX justifying himself. SQX would probably say something they would regret in the process. I don't have the full conversation in mind, but that's the general vibe.

As for the three tumors, they would be around the same except XL and LW wouldn't interact since XL is in charge of the festivals for martial and elemental gods. The meetings with XL and SWD and PM would be functional only. JW is sneaky and wouldn't let anyone know the real reason XL was isolated, so they're dealing more on their own stuff.

And yes, I'm on the HC deserves friends agenda hahaha
