People saying that Hua Cheng apparently has no interests outside of Xie Lian is so wild to me.
He is a sculptor and painter, he rules Ghost City, clearly has fun at the Gambling Den, pretends hes not friends with He Xuan (when they clearly share SOME form of camaraderie for him to LIE to XIE LIAN about it), is very well read (he would have to be, to defeat literature gods) and finally, clearly has fun with aesthetics/visuals, both in his residence and his clothing/powers (he didnt HAVE to go with a butterfly motif, he picked his aesthetic and IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH XIE LIAN).
He is a powerful ghost king who lords over his city and he loves it. Xie Lian also loves it (simp)
You know who didnt have any interests or opinions outside of Xie Lian? Wu Ming. Wu Ming followed him and didnt care about anything but him. And he didnt manage to stop Xie Lian or change his mind, a random guy with a bamboo hat did. In a way? That was a lesson for him. So he goes to Mount Tonglu, and slowly, over the centuries, he becomes his own person. By the time they meet again, he is fully his own individual.
Seriously, just because the guy is madly in love, doesnt mean he doesn't have a life. Dont take that away from him, just for a ridiculous 'hualian's relationship is unhealthy, actually' take.
Edit: thank you @ignite-the-moonlight for pointing out that he collects rare items as well
Rip to the Elktaur for not being able to recognize a monster fucker when he see’s one.

Another reason why I love the idea of Stiles Winchester

Sometimes a family is a gay Jewish trans lad with Mommy and Daddy issues, an autistic lass with anxiety and a special interest in a celebrity ghost, a possessed talking pug with magic powers, and a thousand year old demon who eats trash.
What "enemies to lovers" type are you ?
Like if you're the
"I hate you so much I cant belive I'm fucking you against the wall to show you whos really in charge " type
Or reblog if you're the
"I really hate you but you've done this nice thing for me, not even my best friends have ever done for me so maybe you're not so bad and- shit am I falling for you? " type
thinking so hard about caleb wittebane.
caleb is the most important character in the show. caleb died 400 years before the first episode. caleb is the reason philip came to the boiling isles, and caleb is the reason belos wants to destroy it. you cannot tell me that “saving humanity” is the only motivation for the man so obsessed with the brother he murdered. it’s his moral excuse to take revenge on the people he sees as having taken his brother away, a justification to himself that what he did was acceptable. he knows it wasn’t.

I read chapter 1 and 2 and have many thoughts about Victor's childhood and personality. Sorry for the long post.
First of all, he's first five years of life were privileged and self-centered. At the time he was a only child pampered be his rich parents, never knowing hardship. Through the chapters, he talks about how his parents were never strict, how they were nice, good people, etc.
This brings up, again, the facts that he never experienced real consequences for his actions, don't know how the real world works - believing that in the end everything always work out if you try hard enough - and see everything through the egocentric lens that he can never be wrong, everyone else just can't see his brilliance.
We can see this with his initial pursuit of knowledge about the Natural Sciences. He became interested in alchemy and don't believe his father about the lack veracity in this studies. He persists in this journey to the elixir of eternal life, seeking fame, but never stops to reflect what this discovery could mean to the world in its practical application.
He just stops when after receiving irrevocable proof that his scientific branch is wrong. This first disappointment's already too much to his ego, and instead of just correcting himself, he completely abandons the Natural Sciences as if it personally insulted him and his world view.
You can also see Victor's egocentrism from how, even though we learn he has a younger brother, he never tell us his brother's name and he never features in his stories of childhood. This brothers existence challenge his belief of being the center of his family, the center of his everything, so, therefore, is discarded.
We could talk, also, about how his relationship and thoughts about Elizabeth differ from his relationship and thoughts about his brother. He don't see Elizabeth as his own person, or even as family, not really. Ever since his mother presented her as "a gift" to him, that's how he views Elizabeth. She is but a extension of Victor, how he sees her is just a reflection of how he sees himself She's, like him, perfect in everyway and, as his present, every compliment she receives is a compliment to him, his "owner". Because that's what we do with objects that belong to us, if someone says: "I like your bracelet" the correct responde would be "thanks", because this person isn't really complimenting the bracelet, but its owner.
I'm stopping here, thanks for reading.
I haven’t seen literally anyone else mention this scene and it’s my favorite joke from the entire show
weirdy from the hollow had it figured out. be purple and morally ambiguous and create problems on purpose. all there is to life.
