the most important step in the hero’s journey is the gay sex

Building on my Xie Lian is basically bugs bunny post, more evidence of him being essentially a trickster god. Feel free to add more.

His communication array password is a prank/trick

He regularly serves food he knows will poison his Friends and Guests. Essentially serving up laxatives, if you will.

Just the fact that he is a god pretending to be his own priest honestly

Pretending he doesn't recognize Nan Feng/Fu Yao and then talking shit about them to their face

Doing the same fucking thing to Hua Cheng when he's pretending to be Lang Ying (less shit talking, but he does mess with him).

Acting all Serious like he's gonna fight LQQ and then just tripping him with Ruoye lol

The I AM GOD flying meatball incident

Dressing up as a lady bugs bunny style so he can hide.

And dressing up as both a bride and a pregnant woman to lure two different ghosts also lol

Tormenting the Venerable of Empty Words (kind of a 'I'm not trapped with you, you're trapped with me' thing)

He's the only one who can actually rile up Qi Rong

Pretending to be HC's puppet to hide among the ghosts

I just love that because he avoids fighting unless he has to, his solution is usually to dress up and lie all the time. No wonder Hua Cheng is in love he's honestly so funny.

I need to write about how Jun Wu's belief that everyone has the capacity for evil, if you just push them hard enough, torment them long enough, is directly contradicted by the entire story of tgcf, which posits that, actually everyone has the capacity for good. The misogynistic womanizer, the depraved cannibal, the man dead set on revenge, the one filled with envious resentment, are all able to do the right thing when it comes down to it. In a way, doing good is a surrender, it's giving up, it's as easy as falling asleep. And it's so much easier than letting the evils of your past dog your heels for hundreds of years. Isn't it such a release to change? To not be stuck in your old ways?

They're not giving up on each other. In either timeline.

The latest scene in @somerandomdudelmao was so sad, but also made me so happy. It's always such a good feeling to see your head-canons coming through the work of other amazing creatives. These brothers would never abandon each other... not even if it meant escaping to a better place. No place is better than the one they're together in.

listen the nimona movie is proof that you can change some truly major shit in a story but as long as you stay true to the original themes and intentions people are gonna love it anyway. holy shit two cakes etc etc

gege, this time i want to accompany you till the end. 🦋

[u3pxx]

can i show you guys an old oc of mine her name is reina (she/he) and he is a retired villain and also he loves her superhero wife a lot

[thepremise66]

Ok so my headcannon is that vulcans have no issue talking about sex. Like sex is a perfectly logical thing to them. Pon Farr is only embarrassing to them bc of their loss of control over their emotions not the sex part

[disgracefulthings]

Shen Qingqiu: Like you, I also have a tragic backstory

Wei Wuxian: Oh, did you have an abusive family?

Shen Qingqiu: Nope

Xie Lian: Have you lived through poverty?

Shen Qingqiu: Not that either

Wei Wuxian: Then what?

Shen Qingqiu: One time I read a really bad story

Wei Wuxian: ...

Xie Lian: ...

not me sitting here sobbing thinking about how much charlotte loved george that she kept having his babies over the years but couldn’t be the loving and nurturing mother to them that she would have been if being the loving and nurturing wife to a husband she began to lose the moment they met hadn’t been her reality.

i am WRECKED at the thought.

something that’s always been funny to me is that long fics with smut tend to do better than long fics without but it’s like. if you write a longggg 10k+ word fic with a build up and plot and sprinkle in smut at the end, people will read that long build up and pay attention to the plot in order to get to the smut. and 99% of the time the tags and comments will talk about the plot itself and the way it was written as opposed to the sex and they will ask for more or for part 2’s and as annoying as the part 2 comments can be sometimes, it also means that they focused on the plot and not the smut. but if you post that fic without the smut—as in same fic and same build up and everything, but the smuts not there, a lot of those same people will simply not give the fic a chance. it’s just funny to me bc yes, a part of it is just horniness, but also i think it’s partly that there is also some conditioning to believe that a “perfect romance” or a “perfect story” of a romance is sealed with intimacy that’s more often than not sexual in order to actually be valid. and yeah. idk. it’s an interesting thing to see from a writers perspective
