ik albedo's sassy ass is slightly pissed off with how they think so lowly of him

falsely (?) accused gang

killing your brother is normie behaviour. like some stories have us doing that since literally the second generation of humanity. it's whatever. but strangling your mother is something different and i just feel like we collectively need to lean more into how fucked up Albert James Moriarty is.

love that xie lian canonically gets jealous like he was so sullen and gloomy every time hua cheng brought up his special someone and he literally threw himself in front of hua cheng’s sweaty shirtless torso cause the idea of someone else seeing even an inch of his man half-naked had him stressed as hell ... i truly feel that xie lian is the possessive one cause while we all know hua cheng is protective and will hold a centuries-long grudge, i feel like he would never dare to lay claim to xl whereas xl is like mine mine mine, this ghost is mine!!! and if someone else touches him i'll throw up and dig a hole to die in!!

New official 2ha art for upcoming event CP31

I really love MXTX's narrative decision to have a character that is vital to the plot and then tell us NOTHING about him.

Who was the real Mo Xuan Yu?

An insane cutsleeve, we might say. But we don't actually know that. Most of what we're told about MXY is from other character's opinions and "common knowledge" but the main moral of the novel is that you can't trust either because public opinion is very easy to manipulate.

And we know Mo Xuanyu was at odds with an expert manipulator.

So, how much of it was true and how much was JGY ruining Mo Xuanyu's reputation to get him out of the way once he wasn't useful?

We can't know.

The only thing we have proof of is that, when he died, he was definitely mentally ill; it was evident from what he did and the writings he left. But, was he always like this? Or maybe the mistreatment at the hands of his family, or his contact with demonic cultivation (we don't know whether he practiced it before the ritual) eroded his mental health. Hell, by this point Jin Guangyao already knew how to use the songs of turmoil, who's to say he didn't do that to MXY for knowing too much.

Of him being a cutsleeve, there's no hard proof. Maybe the makeup, but that might be him just being theatrical. We don't know, it's Wei Wuxian who takes the rumors and runs with them full throttle. Though it is worth noting that the characters who knew MXY before don't seem to bat an eye when WWX is playing up the gayness, so there's that.

Him harrassing JGY is a complicated one. Because, again, no proof but the opinions of the people in Jinlintai, who may have been manipulated by Jiggy into believing that. We have seen the guy do worse, he's the king of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss. And if Mo Xuanyu was becoming an obstacle for knowing too much and refusing to cooperate... maybe it would look too suspicious for his newfound half-brother to mysteriously die, maybe he couldn't find a good excuse or scapegoat in time, or maybe JGY was planning to finish the job later, where MXY's death couldn't be connected to him. Either way, depriving him of any sympathy or credibility ensured no one would come asking questions if he disappeared. I wouldn't put it past him.

So, we really don't know anything concrete about him.

Which, if you ask me, is pretty harsh on him considering that without him the plot would be one paragraph long. "Good news! The Yiling Parriarch is dead!" And dead he stayed. The End.

Of course, from a meta perspective, why waste pages developing a character who is only there as a human McGuffin? Too complicated, let's just allude to his gayness to move the BL plot along and scrub any worldly connection he had. There, no loose threads. On with the story!

I mean, I get it.

honestly wei yings misunderstandings about lan wangji were 100% understandable like imagine a nun yelling at you and insisting you cover up your ankles. and youre like holy shit this lady is old fashioned and a total puritan. then she reveals no actually i have a huge ankle fetish and being around you makes me so horny i want to become an enemy of the church for you. you'd never fucking see that coming.

Aftermath

I'm thinking of bringing some of my old horrendous MDZS art on here. This one's titled "Goodbye (brother)"

I just think Shang Qinghua should get so angry one time that he unconsciously overrides the System and unlocks Admin privileges and just deletes entire clans out of existance in the blink of an eye while going "writing you in was a mistake".

And I also think everyone who saw that refuses to ever talk about it, but they're all scared shitless of the tiny human by Mobei-jun's side now because they realize he's not just really smart and an amazing strategist, he's also a god and can kill them all in 0.5 seconds. And now they all think that Shang Qinghua is actually the one running the show and Mobei-jun is just, like, the face of the Northern kingdom only.

Shang Qinghua is utterly horrified when he snaps out of it and realizes what he's done (somehow??? He doesn't know wtf just happened) and how now everyone is terrified of him except for Mobei-jun who is just looking at him with heart in his eyes lmao

I realized my WIP currently has “someone will die/of fun” energy but it’s more like:

stay up all night talking. among other things.

gonna take a hot shower and put on a big t shirt and my undies and i’m gonna sit on the floor and color at my coffee table like im 6 years old again and then i’ll feel better

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*
