Summary:

When the heavens split, Rock (played by Lin Feng) transformed into a monster by chance, and became close friends with Canary (played by Jiang Yiyi). Their identities as monsters have caused them to encounter a lot of cold eyes and prejudice since their formation. He dreams of being a hero but has nothing to gain. After going through many hardships, he finally becomes a disciple of Patriarch Yaoguangdong Jie Kong. Fortunately, he is taken care of by his innocent fellow disciple Feng Ling (played by Cheng Yanqiu). Rock practiced hard day and night, during which he and the aloof and aloof Yang Lan (played by Jiang Mengjie) became confidants and jointly built Qilai Mountain.

The heavenly soldiers led by Marshal Beichen (played by Wu Kequn) in the heavens drove all the demons to death, and the demon world rose up to resist. However, all this was actually secretly controlled by the Wuji Shengzun (played by Yue Yueli) after the invasion of Hongmeng's inner demons. Rock led the demon world and the heavens in a bloody battle and became a hero protecting the weak monsters. At this time, Wuji Shengzun's purpose of causing trouble to the three realms is about to be achieved. At the time of crisis, in order to revive the way of heaven and protect the common people, Rock rushes to the Tiandao Stone without hesitation, trying to smash the conspiracy of Wuji Shengzun...

The play is adapted from the novel A Turtle Is Not a Turtle.

Papercraft commission of Xue Yang, Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan, in a pose based on That One Really Iconic Twelfth Night Photo! The photo has a beautiful composition, but I think the black of Xue Yang and Song Lan's clothing framing Xiao Xingchen's white robes makes it extra cool. Plus, the red stands out more! Only good times here in the Yi City arc! :D

ID in alt and also under cut for those curious!

[ID: A MDZS comic using dialogue from a Tumblr post. First, Xiao Xingchen looks upset and cries a bloody tear as he asks, "AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a corpse and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?"

Second, fierce corpse Song Lan asks worriedly, "AITA if i've been dead for a while but haven't told my best friend yet because he doesn't seem to have realized i'm a corpse and if he does i'm worried that he'll finally be able to accept it and let me go and i can't bear the thought of losing him?"

Finally, Xue Yang eats street food and says flatly, "AITA for killing that guy." End ID]

I think a lot of characters in mdzs are written to be foils of wei wuxian, you know, lan wangji, xue yang, jin guangyao, wen chao, jiang cheng, the list could keep going. BUT in contrast to these contrasts, wen ning is wei wuxian's parallel.

They're both a talented child who, under the prejudices of society, become corpses of themselves, yet despite it all are able to persist because of love and understanding. Of course, the corpse thing is more figurative in the case of wei wuxian if we look at him the moments before during and after nightless city. Where he is entirely the yiling patriarch society lauds him to be. Which is just a superficial inauthentic shell of who we know wei ying is. And then he actually dies, so boom, there's your corpse (except 404 corpse not found, my point still stands).

And idk, I think one of the best parts of mdzs is that any of the characters could be the main character. Any of these characters could be the main pov.

But overall, while wei wuxian's foils illuminate his bright sides, his parallels, like wen ning, just make his tragedies that much darker. It's like, wei wuxian, isn't just solely persecuted, this persecution of hope and brightness is an epidemic. And that's so fucked to recognize and so hot of mxtx's brain to deliver as a theme.

Official illustration for the 🇧🇷 version of the Villainous Friends extra.

Been meaning to post this in a while! The official 🇧🇷 version of MDZS is really impopular around here for the childish illustrations and bad revision, but this one was TOO FUNNY for me not to share.
