THIS. THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING. LIKE, IN MY AU, YIN YU DIDNT BASICALLY RAISE HUA MEI YING BC HE

Lin Mian my beloved

Actually Hua Cheng just leaving Ghost City the second Xie Lian shows up is so fucking funny because that man radiates neurosis.

You can not tell me every second he spent not searching for Xie Lian he was not micromanaging that city with a fine tooth comb literally acting as mayor, judge, law enforcement and James Gatsby probably while learning some niche new information on the side. Dragging along his equally workaholic desperate to be useful sectary with his designated emo phase mask and a shovel for like 600 years only to immediately yeet all his responsibilities onto Yin Yu’s overstimulated lap with a hair twirl and giggling about his Gege.

Like I think 4 months after he comes back and is chilling in the honeymoon phase he’ll wake up at 3am realise he hasn’t looked an abacus in over a year and go on a rampage fully fuelling Yin Yu into a fully formed wrath with sheer insanity because THERE IS WORK TO DO. He’s gotta paint the city from #8B0000 to #DC143C all before Xie Lian wakes up and realises he’s let his city go to ruins.

Something something Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang both losing their entire families to horrible violence and betrayal

Something something Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang both having the responsibility of leading a clan thrust on them before they were ready

Something something Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang both devoting their adult lives to revenge and looking down the barrel of their futures after Guanyin Temple, not knowing who they are without their anger

Something something Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang being the only people who can truly understand each other

Wangbians <3

good ending

spot the diff games go hard

Mobei Jun, annoyed with Shang Qinghua: Qingqiu. you are sleeping on the couch. Shen Qingqiu: WHAT- WHY AM I SLEEPING ON THE COUCH??? I DIDNT DO ANYTHING!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE ANNOYED WITH QINGHUA NOT ME? Mobei Jun: I am. Mobei Jun: but I also like him more. Mobei Jun: I am delegating my emotions. Shen Qingqiu: ITS SUPPOSED TO BE REGULATING, NOT DELEGATING. Mobei Jun: picks him up by the scruff of his neck like a cat and tosses him onto the couch while Shang Qinghua dies laughing

Shen Qingqiu underestimates Shang Qinghua’s sheer dumbassery, and thinks that he knows Mobei-jun is courting him and is just playing it coy. So when he realizes he ALSO likes the dumbass hamster, he decides to start using the same tactics. Meanwhile, Shang Qinghua is deeply confused and alarmed at why suddenly he has TWO men beating him up 2+ times a day. He’s not built for this! He’s just a little guy!

Jiang Cheng:Mingjue, I'm asking your permission to date your brother. Nie Mingjue (secretly very pleased Jiang Cheng asked and 1000% approves and has been shipping for 2 years atp): What is this, the dark ages? You know what? Since you've asked, no you can't. Beat me in a duel first.

Venti is used to people enjoying his music - he’s damn good, after all. But no one quite reacts like Xiao. There’s no one else who’s eyes just… light up again when they hear his music. Xiao’s eyes always seem so unreadable, that deep amber you could drown in. But every time Venti has brought him his music, they seem like endless pools of light.

He doesn’t realise it at first. It begins to take shape midway through, until by the end, it’s clear in every small whistle and dip in the music. He thinks, maybe, this might be his favourite composition yet.

Next time they meet, Venti will play Xiao’s song - and every time after that. Play the song made just for him, until one day Xiao sees his own name written in the music.
