[ID: TGCF fanart of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian. First, Hua Cheng looks forward with his right eye closed; overlaid is the glowing gold outline of his saber E'ming, whose eye is positioned directly over his eyelid. Second, Xie Lian looks forward with a somber expression; overlaid is the glowing gold outline of the sword Fangxin cutting his face in half, while the outlines of a cry-smiling mask and his cursed shackle also float over his face and neck.

Xianle Quartet is a top tier polyship not only because of the metric ton of emotional baggage (and the sheer volume of sexual tension and awakening possible between 3 virgins and an effectively celibate fertility god), but also simply because they're all from a country renowned for beauty and pretentiousness, therefore treating impossible beauty standards as the norm.

Xie Lian's canon internal thoughts consist of not infrequently calling people ugly. Can we blame him? He was raised constantly surrounded by and continues to surround himself with devastatingly attractive people. Feng Xin, canonically olive-skinned and handsome, archer's figure. Mu Qing, canonically delicate-appearing and pretty. Hua Cheng, growing up to be tall and savagely beautiful.

Meanwhile, Hua Cheng is a literal fashionista, decked out in every possible silver accessory at any given moment, jingling like a Christmas elf and fabulous while doing it. He throws money around on luxury items just because he can, and his taste is impeccable. Mu Qing straight up destroys his own statues if they're ugly, literally described as wearing luxurious robes that he probably made himself because no one could do it better. They're the divas of this operation. They're judging you, hard, and they want you to know it, so you will.

Xie Lian is the equivalent of the naturally beautiful friend who doesn't wash their face with anything but a bar of soap and comes out looking flawless. He needs absolutely zero fashion sense because he could wear a trash bag and people would think it looks high fashion. Feng Xin is the himbo friend who washes with 10-in-1, yet his skin glistens in the sun like an oiled up ancient greek olympian. He does a normal amount of working out and comes out shaped like Captain America. They're simply God's Favorite, so they don't need to try.

Basically, I picture them as the blindingly hot polycule walking around like the Cullens entering their high-school cafeteria. Hair blowing in an invisible wind. Throwing incredible amounts of shade in the communication array.

They're hot. They're judgmental. They're literally the Mean Girls.

yeah breakups suck but have you ever had your homoerotic codependent childhood friendgroup fall apart due to miscommunication and pressure and when you next saw each other after 800 years so many painful things were left unsaid none of you even knew where to begin

[jessaerys]

i feel like if you dropped a large sample of modern men in a desert island within a few years they would rapidly re-invent greek society

[theetherealshade]

Especially with the “no woman, only bros love is pure” kind of thing, it would end right there and then (except in a ABO Greek concept, but hey who’s counting…).

Dead apple but everyone is still in their pajamas

I think it would be funny if everyone collectively just didnt care to change in to their work clothes for the plot of dead apple cause imagine Chuuya fighting that big ass dragon still in his dog themed pajama pants 🐶

[starlightshadowsworld]

In my mind Kunikida’s the only one who showed up in work appropriate attire.

"love is touching souls"

[theetherealshade]

“Surely you touched mine”

[bsd-bibliophile]

She is beautiful. So keen and so modest, She prevails within the madness of this world. And because of the utter madness of this world, The heart may eventually succumb and cry out feebly, But still that innate dignity remains - She’s beautiful and so keen.

How her soul must have searched for a boundless heart! - Though now it seems she’s even given up on that, Having only come across the selfish likes Of immature ogres and brats. And now she’s wont to believe That everybody is a sort of thug despite the contrary truth. She’s retreating inside of herself - the poor girl!
