Tired thoughts
Hua cheng Mario
He Xuan a not scared Luigi (he xuan mansion he eat the ghosts instead of vacuum them.)
Xie Lian Princess Peach
Shi Qingxuan Princess Daisy
Jun Wu Bowser
Mei Nianqing is a reluctant kamek.
.... that is all.
Hua Cheng is not the reward for Xie Lian's suffering. Hua Cheng suffered because Xie Lian suffered after all. Xie Lian was just lucky that someone....loved him that much.
There is no grand amazing world altering moral lesson at the end of TGCF, though some may say staying on the path of good and righteousness no matter what evil comes your way. However, in truth, Xie Lian stayed good because he couldn't bear to be evil. Hurting people has only ever hurt him. The way he so deeply regrets what he did in the past, it shames him because seeing his enemies suffer would have never brought him satisfaction. The same way Bai Wuxiang had to keep finding new enemies to fight because revenge doesn't make the pain go away and won't bring back what was lost. It's not a revelation that revenge is bad or a waste of time, but that it won't change how broken you are inside.
Xie Lian stayed true to himself but the reason he's so happy at the end of TGCF is not because of that. Hua Cheng would love him no matter what he did after all, and Hua Cheng knew Xie Lian so well, right down to the worst he was capable of, he knew Xie Lian would never hurt people, but it ended up boiling down to Hua Cheng choosing Xie Lian over and over again. Through the pain and suffering and sorrow. After everything, Xie Lian was just lucky.
It's painful, knowing that that's exactly how life works. Xie Lian was lucky that there was someone willing to fight for him and by his side for 800 years. Xie Lian was loved and adored the way everyone deserves to be loved and adored. A home was created for him and his pain did not feel meaningless at the end.
But what about Qi Rong? The neglected child who didn't get his happily ever after, except in headcanons? He didn't ask to have bad adults that never corrected him. He didn't ask to.crave attention so much that he'd rather be tortured than ignored.
What about He Xuan who lost everything for something that was never his fault? Getting revenge didn't get that back, it just made him lose more. Where is the home and happiness that He Xuan deserves once and for all?
What about Bai Wuxiang..... The version of Xie Lian that never got a Hua Cheng. That just kept suffering till he went mad.
What about Shi Qingxuan who had luck for majority of his life but will now live and die in insignificance, once again through no fault of his own. Or is he at fault for never asking his brother how he took care of the problem?
What about Ling Wen who loved and killed but never stopped loving. Who went to great lengths to revive her lover just to lose it all. What about Ling Wen who achieved so much but has lost one of her best friends and won't get the one she loves?
Unlucky. That's just it. Things didn't work out for them.
In the grand scheme of things, whether you're evil or good, sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. Not all bad guys 'reap the consequences of their actions'. Not all good guys get a happy ending. Xie Lian was lucky, and I'm so happy for him. But every time I remember the others....it brings me to tears.
Random TGCF Thought of the Day
TIL that Feng Xin's bow Fengshen means "Wind God" and my mind went to some very strange places.
Places such as SQX should try using the bow sometime.
Places such as hey wouldn't it be funny if we had something like that scene where the martial gods turn into a sword, but Shi Qingxuan turns into a bow
Places such as AU where something something Shi Qingxuan are paired up and she is Feng Xin's spiritual device (is this soul eater? i've never watched soul eater but i vaguely remember something about sentient weapons in that)
Places such as an Utena AU where Feng Xin draws Fengshen from Shi Qingxuan's chest.
Random TGCF Idea of the Day
A Xianle Quartet Rashomon retelling
In which Something happens, the quartet is in the center of it but no one can figure out what happened because their stories are all ridiculous
Featuring HC gushing over Gege and how he had no part in what happened while the other two barely exist
FX blames the whole thing on MQ and HC
MQ blames the whole thing on FX and HC and he’s right thank you very much! But he’s generally being very salty so much so that no one believes his story even though it’s the closest to the truth (minus the excessive blaming maybe)
XL just wants to tell his story and go home now…
Random TGCF AU of the Day
What if SQX did go to SWD after the RoEW reappeared? HX insists that coming to Hualian for help was not his choice (and I believe him), and he gets angry when SQX refuses to involve his brother.
Is he just angry that SQX is so devoted? Or maybe he wanted SWD to see the Bloody Fire Social too...
AU where it's SWD instead of Hualian accompanying SQX to Fu Gu. Optional Pei Ming & Ling Wen as well (we all know PM is coming if its something dangerous but I feel like HX would prefer SWD alone so maybe he'll find some way to get rid of them)
SWD setting foot in the town again. Seeing the Fire Social. Hearing the legends.
He Xuan is a master actor, but is Shi Wudu? Can he pretend not to know anything? Would he show a flicker of guilt? Remorse? Anything...?
I really just want to write all the Pei Xiu + Three Tumors fics.............
The Three Tumors and their emotionally dead errand boy.
Shi Wudu helping Little Pei with Crimes.
Ling Wen recognizing the Pei Xiu really does not like to be the center of attention
Pei Ming being so unabashedly insufferably proud of his descendant and showing him off to everyone
Ling Wen and Shi Wudu also both trying to poach Little Pei for their own palaces before he ascends properly.
Not exactly giving up afterwards.
And just generally the Three Tumors, and especially Pei Ming, being some sort of support for him when they first meet him. He needs it.
