xie lian and identity issues
this is something i'll probably want to expand on more as i give it more thoughts later but right now i'm just. thinking.
i'm thinking of xie lian in book 2 who has to realize that he is not as invicible as he thought. he is powerful yet he cannot do enough. he is not enough. he cannot save his country, he cannot help the common people, if anything he makes it worse.
i'm thinking of xie lian in book 4 who has to get used to a life with no title, no riches, no priviledge. he has to live as no one, and if people find him out he will not be celebrated like he used to be, he will be captured, beaten, or worse, who knows.
i'm thinking of xie lian after being stabbed 100 times, so disconnected from his destroyed body that he can't recognize himself. i'm thinking of xie lian becoming white no face, hiding his face and seeking revenge, turning his back on everything he was before.
i'm thinking of xie lian after wuming's death, after changing his mind and not cursing the Yong'an people but causing the death of his last believer in the process. the distance between what he would have wanted to be and what he ended up being, doing.
i'm thinking of xie lian in mount tong'lu learning about the past of white no face and starting to think they're the same person. thinking maybe he was the one doing all this. thinking this was all meant to be.
it's just, like. young xie lian was so ambitious, and rightly so; everyone told him he could achieve anything, be anything, he ascended so early, was so powerful and so loved so early on. he started high, only to jump from heaven and land terribly low, in a 6-feet deep hole, unable to crawl out of it. the distance between what he was and what he ended up as. i know the war took a couple years to end but the change was still probably very brutal for him.
especially during his first banishment. at first it could have been alright. he had his parents. he had feng xin. he had mu qing. everything was new and unfamiliar and wrong but he had them, he knew them, they were familiar at least. even if xie lian had failed they were still with him, they still loved him.
and then mu qing left. and xie lian's view of relationships started to shatter. and then he was against mu qing on the land of cultivation and he was the one being humiliated and rejected. and then he was losing himself with the stress of white no face, becoming crazy with anguish and despair. and he couldn't provide enough for his parents, and he was afraid feng xin would leave, and he couldn't recognize himself. how had he fallen so low? how had he failed so much?
and then the temple. he wanted to fight white no face, to get rid of him once and for all. but white no face broke him without even lifting a finger. he shattered his faith in the goodness of the world by showing him how cruel it could be. and afterwards...
just think. being tortured for a whole night, used by hundreds of people for their own benefit, left torn open and raw without care. but you heal and you recover and your body hides any trace of that event. did you really go through it? did it really happen? did it happen like you think it did? was it really that bad? was the pain that severe? your body hid it all. you'll never know. the only thing you have are you memories. but can you trust them?
anyway. after that, xie lian comes back to his parents and feng xin. he steals. he doesn't care. he's angry, he's raw, he's weak. feng xin leaves. his parents leave. he's alone.
he's completely alone. he doesn't even have himself anymore. his old self is dead, his old self was nothing, his old self was naive and stupid. xie lian trying to kill himself even though it's useless is symbolic of him completely leaving his old self with his parents and what was familiar, to become someone else entirely. to abandon this part of himself.
it's explicit as white no face that xie lian completely rejects his previous identity of crown prince and god. he does not want to be called that. he does not want to be reminded of it. he hates this past self so much that being associated to it makes him feel humiliated and ridiculed.
only that old part of him is not entirely dead. xie lian still hesitates, deep down, to release the spirits. a part of him still wants to believe. he wants to be proven wrong. he wants the world to give naive xie lian another chance. it's the bamboo hat man that does that for him.
i just think the distance between xie lian, his body, and his mind, is very interesting. i didn't mention how he is completely disconnected from his body even 800 years later because i feel like it's more dissociation from the self than an identity issue (struggling to connect your thoughts to your actions and/or associate them with your perception of self, or even simply not having any definite perception of self especially when you are traumatized) but. i'll definitely make a post about that some day.
that was a bit long but i just. wanted to put some thoughts down. thx for reading up til here ??

A serious discussion: WTF is Wu Xie’s sexuality (in the Guardian x DMBJ crossover) Me: He could be read as ace before he met Zhao Yunlan... But since he has one romantic/sexual interest that is NOT an artifact, a tomb, an ancient place or thing he should not touch, I guess Idk tf he is.
@eleganttbarbara : He’s, indeed, zhaoyunlansexual
@the-marron : dangersexual. 
Me: Both options fit.

wip prince hua cheng and the scrap collector! (future ghost king xie lian, better known as just wu ming in this time)
"gege has the most beautiful smile this prince has ever seen."
"your highness, has anyone ever told you how insincere you are?"
"gege is the first."
"and will your highness continue to show such kindness to a simple scrap collector in your kingdom?"
"a god is just a human. a prince is just a human. trash is just trash. maybe the only difference is that gege has a prettier smile than mine."
ps: the age gap continues to exist!

about multishipping and hualian
first of all: this post isn’t directed to anyone in particular, i just want to put my thoughts down on here because the way i multiship in tgcf is kind of different from the way i multiship in other media.
so the thing is, i have ships where hualian are not together, but. it’s always with "hualian endgame" in mind. i can’t see either of them permanently in another relationship.
i like the thought of feng xin pining on xie lian as a teenager, because he admired him so much. maybe he made it known, maybe not (probably not, imo, for all the respect he had for him), maybe he wasn’t even aware of it. i just love thinking of him having to navigate confusing feelings towards xie lian, the person he swore to follow and protect anyway. his friend. the blurred lines of how close he should be or not! i just love it.
i like the thought of junlian because it is fucked up. i once saw someone say that people who ship junlian "need to reread the book". and i was just like. do you think i ship junlian because they’re in love? because i want them to live happily ever after with each other? i ship them because it’s so fucking angsty, because i love to imagine jun wu breaking xie lian mentally so much that xie lian can only turn to him for comfort (like he did when bwx hugged and comforted him in book 4). the pain is the gain, it’s the angst that i love. but of course they are not fit for each other in a healthy way. of course they can’t be happy (at least not xie lian) together.
i like the thought of huaxuan being each other’s only companion in misery. he xuan hating hua cheng but simultaneously admiring him. hua cheng taking his anger and frustration out on he xuan. do i think it’s canon? no, but i like imagining it.
i think those are the only ships i have that separate hualian, but like. the point is that the relationships can’t work. hualian will always need and want each other. they can’t be fulfilled and happy without each other in my eyes.

Jun Wu: Let's test something: describe your gender in a way that will baffle cis people but other trans and enby peeps will get. Yin Yu: I prefer to not be perceived by others. Qi Rong: Idk pick a slur Xie Lian: I drank too much gender juice i wish i was an abstract concept Lang Qianqiu: Ooblek. My gender is ooblek. Shi Qingxuan: none gender with left boygirl Hua Cheng: A shapeshifting shadow monster that takes the form of your gay aunt's wife Ling Wen: If gender is a performance then mine is the curtains which are drawn in to block stagehands switching props and the backdrop Yushi Huang: I'm a girl in a man way Feng Xin: When you order man from wish Xuan Ji: I'm gender fluid but not in a "sometimes a girl sometimes a boy" way. Sometimes my gender is Wesley from Princess bride, a sexy cowboy, pirate temptress and greasy gamer entity. Mu Qing: an old vending machine that only gives you coffee and lime soda Quan Yizhen: I'm a person Quan Yizhen: i don't know what i'm doing leave me alone Shi Wudu: Booby mcbeardy face Pei Ming: No matter who you are, if you have sex with me, it's gay Jian Lan: "Hi, I'm non-binary. Please refer to me with gender neutral terms." (Source)
