10 Strange and hilarious Facts About Mo Dao Zu Shi
This is posted on Moxiang Tongxiu (Mo Dao Zu Shi’s author)’s personal Weibo on 31/10/2017, in celebration of the novel’s second anniversary. Translated badly by tumblr user my-otp-list.
1. Fairy is actually a Husky. When I set up this character, I didn’t know that huskies were… not that intelligent, so now in my mind Fairy still has the look of a Husky. Let’s just think that Fairy is an extremely intelligent mutated Husky okay…
2. Lan Qiren has a beard from a young age. However, it was shaved clean by Zangse Sanren. He was so mad!
Later, the son of Zangse Sanren also shaved his beard… (but I did not write about it).
*For those who don’t know, Zangse Sanren is Wuxian’s mother.
3. When Jin Guangyao took in Lan Xichen during his runaway, Guangyao was working as a bookeepper.
Guangyao helped wash Xichen’s clothes, because Xichen himself did not know how to wash. It was not possible to ask others to wash, because it would be dangerous if the cloud patterns were recognised. Moreover the clothes could not be thrown away or burnt.
Jin Guangyao used to complain to Nie Mingjue that Lan Xichen’s arm was too strong that he tore apart his clothes while washing…
4. It was way too easy to make Xingchen laugh. Both Xueyang and Ah Qing knew about this but they would never tell Xingchen. Song Lan did not know about this, because the dude never ever laughed…
5. Jiang Cheng went to 3 blind dates. For various reasons, he got blacklisted by all the female cultivators.
Here are Jiang Cheng’s requirements in his partner: naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient, hard-working and thrifty, coming from a respected family, cultivation level not too high, personality not too strong, talking not too much, voice not too loud, spending money not too much. And must treat Jin Ling nicely.
6. Lan Sizhui is older than Jin Ling, but both of them are 172-cm tall. Sizhui suffered from malnutrition when he was a child, and only ate bland food when he was growing up, therefore his development is a bit slow…
Lan Jingyi is 168-cm tall.
7. In order to confess to Jiang Yanli, Jin Zixuan specifically hired someone to write a long long long cheesy essay, and he learnt it by heart. Turned out he did not use a single sentence.
One day, after their marriage, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he read it out loud to Jiang Yanli. Upon hearing it, Jiang Yanli gently stroked his cheek, turned her back and walked away. She was graceful enough to not roll on the floor laughing in front of her husband.
8. Lan Wangji has known very early on that Wei Wuxian is afraid of dogs.
Jin Zixuan used to own a dog, and he left it at the foot of Cloud Recesses’ mountain. One day, the dog ran up the mountain right when Wuxian was sneaking in through the wall. The dog snarked loudly at him; he was so scared he immediately ran to hide in a tree. It was Lan Wangji that chased the dog away.
However, Wuxian thought that Wangji did not see him trembling on the tree.
9. Even though Lan Wangji never talks about it, Wei Wuxian discovers that Lan Wangji loves to use all sorts of things to tie him up during (…)
10. Between the seme and the uke, Wei Wuxian was the first character to be set up.
Back then I even ranted on Weibo, “This uke is giving me so much headache; I don’t know what kind of seme I should give him!”
The seme has gone though many changes in personalities, appearances, ages, backgrounds, back stories… such a complicated process!
But in the end, a flash of Heaven’s light came right through me, I slammed the table and chose the very first version - “This is him!"
It can be seen that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are fated to be together. No matter what happens, in the end it will always be that person.

The story of how you outgrow your family home and fall in love...
Wei Wuxian. you’re quite close with Lan Wangji these days. You might as well become a Lan sect disciple and stay at Cloud Recesses. Don’t go back to Lotus Pier.
What are you thinking? How could Cloud Recesses be as great as Lotus Pier?

Happy to see positive outlooks on such a terrible ending. Thank you for this
Destiel is still canon.
Dean still wanted Chuck to bring Cas back, right after his sacrifice. He still mourned deeply, chased hope up the stairs of the bunker at the mere chance that Cas was still alive, and refused to tell Sammy what actually happened, refusing to deal with his emotions and queer panic.
We still got acknowledgement of the fact that Dean's perfect, happy afterlife - the reality of the afterlife as it really is, now - includes the fact, the TRUTH, that Cas is out of the empty (and in fact helped Jack improve the nature of Heaven, THANK YOU). He knows he will be coming back for him. He didn't even need to worry about it as he sat there on the porch with Bobby, he accepted it without question, with rightness, and was able to focus on waiting for Sammy.
So while I wish things had been different, shown instead of implied (as always), they didn't no-homo it. They still left things exactly where we already were - with Cas having openly confessed, and Dean having reciprocated (as always) by showing it, even if they didn't give him the space to be able to say it.
And now, in the afterlife, he has that time and space to process that about himself. To love, in the atmosphere of purest Love. To let himself BE, both as a queer person and with Cas, directly.
It wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to see it on screen, I admit. But we were given the groundwork, the actual set-up for that to be the OBVIOUS next step for them, and for that I am indeed grateful.
(Now come on fandom creators, let's get on showing what the writers felt they couldn't 💚💙)

Yeah, they really went there and were happy about it
“Lol we’re gonna be worse than game of thrones” is a weird way to talk up your show’s final season but whatever
