But it Rained

Because the Universe said, "I love you."

Modern era Xie Lian at the church: Oh yeahhh, I used to babysit him for Mary!

[tuyo-truly]

guys, I love Huntrix, but their beef with the Soja Boys really put me off, because what do you mean by, "a demon with no feelings don't deserve to live," and "cause I see your real face and it's ugly as sin, time to put you in your place cause you're rotten within"???

That's too aggressive to be a ditch track. The Soja Boys are either real demons or Huntrix are showing their true colours. I mean all this just because the Saja Boys' song Soda Pop was more successful than theirs???? That's insane stuff.

Xie Lian blushed, “That’s actually not my girlfriend…”

Just then ‘Xie Lian’ from the play said his first dialogue.

“Beloved, I have made my decision.”

“Your Highness, you couldn’t possibly do that.”

‘Xie Lian’ moved to brush a strand of her hair behind her ear but she caught his hand.

“Your Highness, you must understand the implication of a move like that.”

“I do.”

“NO HE DID NOT! THESE ARE LIES!” Feng Xin yelled from the back.

Xie Lian was watching so intently that when Feng Xin shouted he jerked back into his seat.

At The Nether Water Manor, sometime after beefleaf got married:

Xie Lian: So how is living with Shi Qingxuan like?

He Xuan: Everything is okay until they pull a move like the lube sandwich.

Xie Lian: The lube sandwich?

Shi Qingxuan, from another room: I WAS ON 3 HOURS OF SLEEP, IT WAS ON THE DINING TABLE, I THOUGHT IT WAS SYRUP.

Everyone talks about Xie Lian in the coffin,

But what about Xie Lian during the first year of his second banishment? Xie Lian with no luck?

The first time he didn't have anything to eat for a week, the first time his house collapsed on him on a rainy night, the first time he cried out of frustration, the first time he was driven out of a village because they deemed him bad lucky but he was only trying to earn money to eat a mantou.

And then there's Hua Cheng, building a mansion for His Highness, gathering that abundance, making himself abundant.

Like it's crazy how it all worked out, these two living parallel yet everything was so connected. While Xie Lian thought he would live so badly for the rest of his life, Hua Cheng was working so hard to ensure that was not the case.

Yes, it took 800 years, but in the end, it was not over until it was all better.

I'm finally writing an actual hualian au!!!! yayyyyyyy!!!

it's Xie Lian x San Niang btw

heehee

[tuyo-truly]

Remember that post about men love differently or smth like that??? the one is which the person's dad became a shoemaker because their grandmother was buried without shoes.

ya, let's talk about mxtx men

Jiang Cheng keeping wei wuxian's flute all this time. Lemme rephrase that, Jiang Cheng keeping wwx's flute POLISHED all this time. Jiang Cheng not believing wwx died and thus torturing any demonic cultivator he saw to make them confess that they are wwx? Like he just never processed his grief because in his head his silly powerful brother never died

Lan Wangji raising a whole ass child???? in remembrance of wwx??? I think no one ever actually admits in the novel how loved wwx was after all yk. like dude died alone, but the grief literally painted the blue gusu white.

Binghe keeping his Shizun's dead body???? i'm sorry?? Achilles and Patroculus much. next thing you know they are mingling their ashes.

And talk about ashes, *cracks fingers* our very own ghost king Hua Cheng! Bro died. Not once. Not twice. THRICE. without REGRET. He can do it again but is forbidden, but can do it again without HESISTATION. it's just tuesday for him at this point. He waited 800 years. Learned about everything to every exist incase he ever became the guy who helps the main character during quests to his God. He literally killed GODS???

And then last but not the least Your Highness Xie Lian. Anyone ever thought that his cultivator clothes are the only thing that he has that is left of xianle? The hat he carries aka the only love/humanity/hope he could find when was just about to give up. emphasis on FIND. because he consciously made that decision to wait. And don't get me started on Wu ming. Please don't, i'll cry. hualian is literally the embodiment of what healthy love looks like. (except the dying and torture ykiyk) the communication, the support, the sitting between hua cheng's thigh's to teach him calligraphy, the spiritual energy exchanges. i love them so much.

Oh, and there's also Shi wudu ruining he xuan's life so that his brother could ascend with him.

[tuyo-truly]

Mom, please. Mom, let me in please. Mom. Please let me in. I don't wanna go anymore. I-I don't wanna leave please. Mom…! I don't wanna- please! Let me in! Open the door! Mom! Mom! Open the door please! I didn't mean to cry! I'm sorry, I’m so sorry. Please let me in. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna show my face. I thought it was nicer outside. I don't wanna go. I wanna stop crying. Please open the door. Someone will hear mom. I don't know what I'd say. I didn't wanna go outside I just wanted to go home.

Doing it for him <3

[tuyo-truly]

i wanna talk about grown up Jin Ling real quick

Like imagine he's in his early twenties and all of the cultivation world decides he needs to get married. Jiang Cheng specifically has very strong feelings on this topic.

He couldn't have a mother or a father, he at least deserves a wife. Plus, he's the third most eligible bachelor - the first being Lan Sizhui and the second being Lan Xichen for some reason (??) - so finding a wife should be easy.

Finding a wife turns out to not be easy. Apparently all women want to be Jin Ling's wife, including the matchmakers (??)

To narrow down the options, Jin Ling (with the help of his uncle) makes a list:

she should be soft spoken

should be good at cooking, especially soups

should be well-read

it does not matter whether she's from a sect or a rogue cultivator as long as she has good morals

must be his age

It takes 6 months to find the match. She's a very beautiful maiden and the head disciple of a small sect from the north.

Jin Ling seems unsure at first but agrees after being scolded by his uncle.

"I can not go through this again." Jiang Cheng says pinching the bridge of his nose.

"But I didn't even do anything!"

"You're just like your father! He was the same way when he was betrothed to Jiejie! Being so up in his head that he didn't know perfection as she stood right next to him!"

"Wait, A-Die didn't want to get married to A-Niang?"

"Not in the beginning, until your uncle Wei Wuxian punched him and then this other time, when your father had been an idiot and made Jiejie cry."

"WHAT???"

---------

Jin Ling turns into a puppy. Whatever his fiancee wants, she gets.

She likes to spar with him? They spar every day now. She likes the bedsheets draped a certain way? That's the only way they are draped now in all of Jinlintai. Sun keeps coming in her eyes? Jin Ling can stand the whole day with his arms over her head, using his sleeves as protection from the sun. She's a picky eater? Jin Ling will personally remove all the tomatoes from her plate.

He saw his Jiujiu shake his head one day when Jin Ling came to visit Jiang sect with his fiancee for the first time. He was removing the flower petals from her hair that the citizens had thrown at them when it happened.

He later asked his Jiujiu why he did so. In response to that Jiang Cheng had pulled out Zidian and whipped it.

He can not wait to get married.
