I'll always be so obsessed with the part where Xie Lian is bracing himself for Hua Cheng finding out about the part of his life that he's most ashamed of. He knows how bad it was, how low he stooped, and truly believes that it would make him unlovable.
And then Hua Cheng kneels before him and reveals that yes, he already knows. He was there. He lived that nightmare with him.
And despite all of that, he still loves Xie Lian. Loved him then and loves him now.
Xie Lian's tears were so real and I could feel how cathartic it was for him to get that reassurance. I could feel his fear dissipate as he realized and WOW.
wow.

This description inspired the sketch… (it doesn’t match what’s actually happening in the scene tho)

Okay but like. Two things about the volume 8 statue [redacted] chapter.
Firstly. By god no amount of "yeah it was unhinged" comments on this website prepared me for whatever the fuck that was. I need at least 5 business days to process.
Second, was I the only one who read that scene as:
Hua Cheng, teeming with self-satisfaction to see Mu Qing near writhing with scorned disgust and fury: this was a 100% successful trip
Xie Lian: our statues are fucking in Mu Qing's palace oh god oh fuck what do you m e a n successful
Hua Cheng, smirk getting even bigger: this was a 100% successful trip

the more I think about it, the more I realize that the reason I love tgcf and hualian so much is that overarching theme of finding someone who loves you for who you are even when they've seen you at your absolute worst.
It hits so close to home on so many ways and when it all came together I had to just close my book and stare at a wall for like ten minutes

My copy of Volume 8 arrived!!
Now my series is complete (once I read it) and last I will collect are the home releases of the anime and the Hua Cheng 1/7th scale figure releasing next year (unless they make Black Water merch)
Spoilers for S-Edition merch under the cut!!
Two posters, a two-sided bookmark, sticker sheet, a full art cover notebook, postcards for each of the books with their animals on the back and a paper standee!! I’ll be framing the posters, postcards, stickers, and bookmark for safe keeping. I’ll post photos once I eventually do that!!

i will forever be baffled at people who think xie lian is an uwu softboy damsel in distress bottom or whatever. like the entire novel contradicts this. are you not paying attention to what he thinks and says. sure he's more subdued in the present than he was as a sassy teenager but even then he's still like this
