the zombies repesenting the social taboo of queer attraction. like its a crime against humanity to defile a corpse. its perverted and unforgivable. how dare you dirty something with your degeneracy. if you get what i mean.
its really fucking clever because you get to feel that mix of horrifying disgust at what is hinted and also the genuine adoration. like thats what it feels like to be attracted to your friend. it feels like theres genuinely something fucking rotten in you. vivinos never fucking misses with the queer horror 10/10
i recently spoke to someone who was wondering if mizi was wearing something on her face in zombie stage. they cited the weirdly perfect/specific heart shape as a reason why they thought it had to be a visor of some kind. i disagree with this for practical reasons—that absolutely is her face, you can see the rot around her mouth feeding into it—but the specific shape is definitely still odd. after thinking on it, my interpretation of it has turned out to be this:
making the rot where mizi’s eyes used to be heart-shaped is an extremely important symbolic design choice that does not need to make logical sense.
actual analysis of this choice below:
throughout the video, mizi’s eyes are more or less the only window into how she’s actually feeling, especially when she’s doing her idol work.
just like her agency was taken from her in life with all the fanservice she was made to do, it was also taken from her in death with the removal of her eyes, the only thing that showed her emotions for what they really were. the one thing that would have given a hint to her being unsatisfied is removed to further the image of “perfect idol mizi”, even when she’s a singing, dancing corpse.
this alone is pretty horrifying and that’s an understatement. but the character design choice to put a heart where mizi’s eyes used to be is just as important as the decision to remove them at all. it holds similar meaning.
i’m sure i don’t have to point out that hearts generally equate to love, especially in a nearly entirely visual piece of media. the placement of the heart over the eyes, though, takes mizi’s agency away from her yet another time. the expressions “heart eyes” and “look of love” are relevant here. figuratively, when she still has her eyes, we see mizi give this to sua.
in the second photo, if you look quickly or from a distance, it even looks like the highlights in her eyes are heart-shaped. this is mizi looking at someone she genuinely loves, with figurative “heart eyes” that portray her truest emotions, just as they do in the rest of the video.
then mizi is bitten and infected. her eyes are removed and auctioned off. and where they used to be, she’s left with…
…literal heart eyes. and this time, when she’s barely even mizi anymore, she doesn’t get to give them to sua like she would have chosen to. no, whoever’s behind zombie stage chooses who she directs them to now.
so, who’s getting the “look of love” from mizi as she is currently?
the group of people she was sexualized and sold to, the group of people for whom she’s been exploited at every turn in both life and death, the group of people we know she hates doing this for more than anything—her adoring fans.
being marketed to this exact kind of audience forced all of mizi’s control over her life away from her, ruined her mental state, and even ended up destroying her relationship with sua by extension. and now, she’s a zombie being made to sing and dance for them forever, and to look at them with the same “heart eyes” that were only meant to be for sua. this kind of marketing works best when the fans can develop a parasocial relationship with the idol, after all, believing that they love you just as much as you love them. putting a heart where mizi’s eyes once were forces her back into the same position she was in in life, performing for men and playing to their preferences. only this time, there’s no way for her true feelings to peek through anymore. all that’s left is—
—that “look of love”.
now, this could all still be true and valid analysis even if that heart shape were a visor or covering of some sort. but i personally believe the point about mizi’s agency being taken from her becomes much weaker if the shape is a removable object. it’s important that this is her true face (haha. get it?) and not a visor because this is no longer the mizi we know. we can see it in her unresponsiveness to sua, how she barely knows she’s performing with someone else at all, how her focus is singlemindedly on giving her loyal and loving audience the performance they deserve. that’s common knowledge at this point, sure, but if this shape is a visor, it undercuts the severity of that. our mizi would never look at this audience that way, not when they’re getting enjoyment out of her exploitation, out of sua’s exploitation. if that heart is something she (or anyone, really) can just take off, it creates an implication that she can go back to being our mizi. that she can stop looking at the audience that way, that she can stop being “perfect idol mizi”.
and she can’t. she couldn’t in life, she can’t in death.
making the heart removable in any way gives mizi some of her agency back. and we can’t have that. not when perfect idol mizi sells so well and makes the audience so happy! she can’t go back.
POV: Ur Lan Qiren grading assignments for the Gusu Quartet
“Lan Wanji, your essay is excellent, but I don’t remember “Wei Wuxian’s name surrounded by little hearts” being part of the rubric. Wei Wuxian, this would be a great essay, if I assigned you an essay about the different rabbit species in Gusu, and not about the intersection of ethical theory and abstinence within Cultivation history. Nie Huaisang, your excuse for an intro paragraph is clearly word for word copied from Jiang Wanyin, and the rest are just drawings of birds. Jiang Wanyin, stop letting Nie Huaisang copy off you. And Jin Zixuan… I cannot read your handwriting.”
Can I interest you in my stupid ass AU where Nan Feng and Fu Yao are like actual real deputy officials who are dependable and competent and often involuntary witnesses to way more than they would care to know about their generals’ private lives
Instead of being a straight up mini-Feng Xin and Mu Qing, I thought they should just be the ideal subordinate for each, and ended up with a Fu Yao who’s expressive, frank (shameless), and genuinely admires Mu Qing (bc otherwise that dumbass would be sooo paranoid about his loyalty); and a Nan Feng who’s studious, loyal, very proper, and a bit of a nagger (and to his neverending chagrin is forced to handle all the Ju Yang prayers). They’re also besties, friendly rivals, and severely overworked at all times
Alternative timeline AU where Hua Cheng gets so excited to see Xie Lian again that he just swoops them both away on a cloud of butterflies from Mount Yujun to ghost city and just accidentally sets off a series of events in which the heavens genuinely believe that the ghost groom kidnapped Xie Lian.
Fengqing are sent on a man hunt after the ghost groom -> wait it’s a bride -> wait it’s a ghost under Qi Rong -> Qi Rong where’s Xie Lian, like full on insane comedy of errors.
Meanwhile, Xie Lian is like, "Cool, I’ll pretend to be the doting bride who’s shy,” but oh, this ghost is handsome, but oh, he’s being so nice and kind, and I should play the part right? He’s clearly so strong I should lull him into a false sense of security… I’ll keep up the bride bit for a while. I have enough leftover spiritual energy to switch to a female form and be stuck like for a while, but it’s fine… I’ll kill him when his guard is down… oh wait, he’s giving me space?? He’s confused and doesn’t want to rush the wedding night?? He knows I’m a man??? He’s giving me enough spiritual power to change as I’d like and also wants to dote on me??? He didn’t kill those girls?!? Well fuck I'd better find out what’s going on then. Oh San Lang you want me to call you San Lang you say I can stay here and use your library to figure out a game plan and also rest up and oh well I guess I’m in no rush Fengqing probably have the ghost groom thing covered after all I Xie Lian am just a worthless god anyway so I’ll stay here and continue acting as like Hua Cheng’s wife. Hell, the whole city already sees me that way since Hua Cheng brought me into the city in a wedding gown. This is fine, I’m totally fine, my cultivation is not even at risk, it’s fine…..
Hua Cheng, of course, is just constantly going wtf wtf dianxia, but no, her highness, she's so beautiful, I can't believe I didn't know she was a she now I've missed so much, wait, it's a ruse? Wait, me no ghost groom, why would you think I'm the ghost groom? Oh, the butterflies ahhhh hahaha wait, you thought we were married? I hahaha I need to go lie down, omfg. I need to explode into butterflies every 15 minutes, omfg. OMFG Dianxia is in my house!!!! Like, no thoughts, just Ahhhhhhhhh.
I don’t know how I’d end this as it is a 4am brain worm I just had but it is fun to think about.
The Xianle quartet in the begining of TGCF is literally so funny to me as a concept.
Because it's literally these 3 guys who have disguised themselves from this 1 guy to go hang out with him. 2 of them know who each other is and also immediately recognised who the third guy is but don't have any proof to back it up. And the third guy also knows exactly who they are but he doesn't care and doesn't even wanna interact with them because he got beef with them.
Meanwhile the 1 guy they are disguising themselves from actually recognised them on sight because they absolutely suck at disguising themselves, but they're trying so hard and he doesn't want them to feel bad and they're also hanging out now so that's fun, he doesn't wanna ruin that.
