Hi.....If you don't mind me asking, who are your favorite MXTX characters (top 5 from each novel)? And why? I'm sorry if you've answered this question before.

hi! biggest apologies on a super late reply (i only logged back in rn whelp) —

and ahh fav?? hmm i think 5 from each is a lot bc while i do like almost all the chars, it takes quite a big thing for me to consider them as a “fav” so i’ll just give my top 5 overall haha

5. SHEN QINGQIU (svss): there’s something about his ability to compartmentalize and yet still have empathy that i love. it’s also how he learned from his past mistakes and continued on to be better (a journey he shares very well w/ LBH) that made me love his character.

4. LAN JINGYI (mdzs): my sunshine, my son, my favorite coined term of “the most un-lan lan in the history of lans” — imma give an abridged version and it’s basically how he stays true to himself no matter what and the idealism that still sticks w/ is fascinating to see if it’ll hold up once he grows older. (i made a gush post about him before lemme dig that up and reblog hah)

3. XIE LIAN (tgcf): ohgoood there’s something about characters who were so high up and then fell so damn low but managed to pick themselves up that speaks to my core?? it was so nice to witness his story from the idealisms of his youth, how time & experience made him realized how everyone is but a speck in the wide universe, and how he coped w/ what he can control whilst not losing who he is along the way.

2. WEI WUXIAN (mdzs): my og faaav!! i absolutely love shameless mcs that are confident af and very capable on a specific thing but a mess on everything else aka that fits him perfectly. it’s mostly about his resilience (from an orphan, losing his home multiple times, decorated as the big bad villain, etc) and how his kindness was there at his core that he won’t let injustice pass but without the annoying idealism of typical shounen protags. he really deserved that second chance. /sobs

1. SHI WUDU (tgcf): and ofc the man, the myth, the legend in my eyes haha i believe i also made a post gushing why exactly i love him but abridged version here — he was an extremely fascinating character!!! was what he did to he xuan wrong? yes! would a lot of us have done the same thing to save the one we love, the one we consider our world, the one we raised? also, interestingly, yes! [incoherent screams] i have so much to say about him but hhhnnggg lemme just slide the character exploration fic i have of him as a summary lmao

SV ch.60

what a day, guys, sv donghua’s pv blew up tumblr and twitter and now we are here reunited around ch.60. svsss is gonna kill us all :)

Ah, that’s right! After all, at the end of the day, a master is not obligated to help his disciple quench his fire. Even if he was the one who accidentally rubbed against it and stoked the fire, it’s all the same!!!

I SWEAR. 

I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY THIS, BUT 

I S W E A R I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE!!!! this since i am responsible i should help thing is nice and all (a cultural aspect, too, for sure), but applied to shizun (who is trying to convince himself that everything is fine, omg, CUTE) rubbing one out of lbh... like, shizun! even in his sleeping, lbh is horny for your ass-

EDIT: i naively thought, wow they got out! little did i know...

Despite the illusion of being in a jungle, they have not left the Holy Mausoleum but only arrived at one of the special crypts within it.

EDIT 2: shizun being protective of lbh is gonna be what ends my life, wow

EDIT 3: IS A JUNGLE ATTACKING SQQ

EDIT 4:

This obstacle had not been resolved before a second flash of white light struck. This time, it directly stabbed at Luo Binghe’s throat. The Xiu Ya sword was blocking the first sword and couldn’t be recalled; neither could he throw Luo Binghe aside. If he fell amongst those treacherous flowers and plants, he would be done for!

He raised his arm and seized the edge of the sword with his bare hand.

The blade cut deeply into his palm, but he could still hold it firmly, and it did not advance another half inch. Blood did not drip—it poured out. It spilled over Shen Qingqiu’s clothes and dyed the grass on the ground bright red.

He finally realized how painful it must have been when Luo Binghe had previously grabbed at his blade.

Shen Qingqiu’s eyes reddened. He jerked his head and his pupils shrank.

i am fine. i am fine, i’m not CRYING SCREAMING SOBBING CALLING SHIZUN’S NAME MUMBLING INCOHERENTLY BECAUSE ARE THOSE FEELINGS SHIZUN DID YOU UNDERSTAND YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE AND PPL ARE PPL EVEN IF YOU ARE IN A NOVEL AND YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FEEL or anything.

it’s not like shizun is letting someone’s sword cutting his palm in half for lbh

EDIT 5:

His expression did not change except for the addition of a fake smile: “Lady Qiu, Old Palace Master, I trust you’ve been well.”

oh, so these are the +2. mmmmh i think lbh did something bad to them we don’t know about...?

(bless shizun for always summing up the important stuff and making me remember names and events i would otherwise keep forgeting

but, like, how did these to end up being allies??)

EDIT 6: oh, here is another one who wanted to be lbh’s shifu but SQQ IS LBH’S ONLY MASTER SO SUCK IT UP THANK YOU. 

also, shizun finding out lbh wasn’t behind huan hua disciples bad mouthing him and i’m like, why didn’t you believe your precious disciple sooner, he wants you, just youuuuuu.

It would seem that back then, the Huan Hua Palace disciples’ antagonism towards him was not instigated by Luo Binghe, but rather the deliberate influence of the Old Palace Master. Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help shooting a glance at Luo Binghe. This child, if he had been less pig-headed and accepted other people as his master, a lot of grief could have been avoided. But Shen Qingqiu could not begrudge him his brainless willfulness.

(THESE TWO WERE BEHIND THE JINLAN CITY THING I WANNA STRANGLE THEM but wait, thank you for the water prison scene-

also, shizun and feelings toward lbh 2.0 i am alive todaaaaaay)

EDIT 7:

The Old Palace Master was actually sliced into a human stick! A great leader of his generation reduced to such a miserable state, barely considered human and more miserable than a ghost. Bedraggled and filthy, with only the head being able to turn about. The original Shen Qingqiu’s fate has been transferred to the Old Palace Master!

OKAY I DID NOT EXPECT THAT WTF

pls don’t let this affect sqq, pls don’t let him remind him about lbh’s counterpart in the original work, pls we need all the steps forward shizun was moving saojfoisjefiwof

EDIT 8:

When facing Tianlang-Jun, a character whose data had not existed previously, Luo Binghe’s plot armor was useless. But the Old Palace Master did play a role in the original work, and hence should be subjected to the same laws dictating the protagonist’s golden undying body. This effect should still be in place. He could try standing back, let the Old Palace Master hack at Luo Binghe, and like back at Shuang Hu City, see who ends up dead instead.

The Old Palace Master slowly said: “I will ask once more, will you stand aside, or not?”

Shen Qingqiu lowered his arm, the blood flowing from his palm had slowed to a trickle. He formed his reply.

He looked up and said coldly: “Just like the Old Palace Master has said, he is my good disciple. You tell me, would I stand aside?”

Can’t be helped, things have changed. Now it’s no longer the same as it was back then.

OKAY LET’S

LET’S JUST PAUSE FOR A SEC AND ANALYSE THIS BECAUSE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE SAID.

that’s actually a pretty good plan, like, nothing can happen to lbh as long as one of the known characters tries to kill him, so it could be the perfect escape route. sqq knows. sqq has thought this before, applied this principle to his first mission and suceeded! 

but

now it’s no longer the same as it was back then, which is huge! aside from romantic feelings and all, shizun is finally freaking acknowledging is affection toward this cutie, to the point that even if he knows the plot armor could work, he cannot bear the thought of putting lbh in an ideal danger. he doesn’t stand aside, he protects him with his body.

i. am. crying.

EDIT 9: 

On the way down, he twisted around and used himself as a meat shield, not letting Luo Binghe hit the ground. He ended up squashed by the full weight of his body and saw stars.

(*takes a deep breath* shizun stop being so freaking perfect okay thank you aofoaiejfioaejfuaehfoai)

Fine wispy threads of white floated over, about to land on Luo Binghe’s pale cheeks. Shen Qingqiu gently puffed at it, and the white fluff scattered away.

omg cute-

EDIT 10:

The Old Palace Master gazed at him for a long while then sighed: “When you close your eyes, you resemble her the most. And also when you’re being cold.”

His eyes traveled over Luo Binghe’s face greedily. If he still had hands, he would have reached out to fondle as well. Shen Qingqiu felt ill. He couldn’t help clasping Luo Binghe’s head and pulling him closer into his arms.

The two were now in a position where Luo Binghe was cozily snuggled against him with his head resting on Shen Qingqiu’s chest. Shen Qingqiu’s voice was low: “Open your eyes, he isn’t Su Xiyan.”

okay that was creepy as hell. i hope he didn’t try anything funny while he still had all his limbs on... or maybe that’s why lbh did it?

EDIT 11: DID HE DO SOMETHING TO LBH’S MOTHER? I KILL HIM FOR GOOD.

EDIT 12:

He spoke in a coaxing manner: “Xiyan…. come over here…. Shizun has something nice for you, drink this….”

The Old Palace Master sank into a confused state again, saliva dribbling from the corners of his mouth. Qiu Haitang backed away slowly, disgust brimming in her eyes. Shen Qingqiu’s heart felt frozen in his chest as his nausea grew.

Unable to tolerate the Old Palace Master leering at him, Shen Qingqiu lifted the back of Luo Binghe’s head with his hand and pressed his face to his chest. Fed up, he snapped: “That’s enough!”

I AM GONNA THROW UP ALL OVER THIS DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING but i am also gonna squeal in happines ‘cause LOOK AT SHIZUN GOING ALL PROTECTIVE OVER LBH HE DOESN’T WANT THAT MANIAC EVEN LOOKING AT HIM AND HE HIDES LBH FROM HIS SIGHT OMG 

BLESS
