#Lian is so done

[azmaarts]

And That's How I Met Your Dad (Part II)

Link to Part I here.

Did I overdo the glitz and glam on that first panel? Absolutely.

No regerts tho.

Lian be so done.

Edit: I NEED a way to like reblogs.

Me when I watch two characters (not more b/c cliche, crammed-in romance subplots tend to be monoamorous and hetero) suddenly start making out with each other in an action/fantasy novel without any warning/build up:

#jason todd #roy harper #lian harper #batfamily #batfam #arrowfam #red hood #+ #arsenal #= #RedArse #jayroy #royjay #is there a difference? #Lian is so done #Lian be dialing up Jade like: #“Hey mom? Yeah. They're at it again.” #How do those romance bubble thingies work??? #like bruh #are they eye floaters?

Some frames I like from the tgcf book 4 animatic I'm in the process of putting together!

#heel turn 2 by the mountain goats has lived in my mind as THE xie lian dark era song for years #the lyrics are so perfect i had to make it #as soon as I fix a few frames and put it all together with the music it is DONE im so excited #i love my first tgcf animatic but it is. so old. #mayhaps i'll upload this one to youtube... #tgcf #tgcf fanart #xie lian

My rendition of @tempo-takoyaki's DTIYS!

Congrats on the milestones! And to everyone else, please go check out their 'Drawing TGCF (except I haven't read the books)' series!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #svsss #tgcf #wei wuxian #shen qingqiu #xie lian #better drawn mdzs #(Vaguely??? I think SQQ came out handsome enough to put him in my special gallery) #Showing up to submit this less than 3 days before the DTIYS ends is filling me with a bit of anxiety but it is done! #Initially I was going to do a descending level of realism/detail but noses make me nervous still. One day I'll get there. #The irony is that I was planning on drawing something to celebrate tempo finishing season 1 of their series only to find this DTIYS! #*and* it was their birthday recently. I am compelled to lift them into the air and shout their praises. #What a genuinely kind person with an art style I want to bite into like a crunchy apple!!! The *range* is incredible! #Also their xie lian is probably one of my favourite interpretations. So done with everything but not misanthropic. #Remembers everything and lets other's spin in circles with their lies for the sheer chaos of it all. Teases relentlessly. Deeply sad. #Give it a read! They are planning on continuing on so now is a great time to catch up! #Thanks for hosting this fun art challenge Tempo! We all appreciate you deeply B*) #I hope you have a better year in 2024 - you truly deserve the best.

While reading TGCF I kept a character chart so I wouldn't get lost on the plot and it VERY quickly derailed into my sassy ass gay opinions on each of them (1/2)

#gay person try not to be funny challange level impossible #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #xie lian #hua cheng #shi qingxuan #fuck it im not gonna taf all of them #oK WAIT ONE MORE #ling wen #OK IM DONE #snal posting #mxtx #also fun fact about the last one: #so in the beggining i wrote cinnamon roll #then after the ghost city arc i wrote war criminal #then after the first flashback i changed it to the secret third thing

这天下 · This world. lit. everything under the heaven. A term for an ancient Chinese cultural concept that symbolises all land and space beneath the sky.

回首改了面容 · lit. Looking back (my) face has changed. Translated it as "Everything took a turn", but also Li Lianhua's appearance literally changed along with his life.

缘分若停顿轮回何用 · What is the use of "reincarnation" if this is where "fate" stops. "Yuánfèn" often translated as "fate" or "destiny", is a Chinese concept describing chances of potential relationships. The term "lúnhuí" (reincarnation) derives from Saṃsāra.

Xie Lian: Why were you two fighting?

Mu Qing: So, Feng Xin sneezed earlier and I accidentally said "shut the hell up" instead of "bless you"

Feng Xin: How could you accidentally say "shut the hell up?!!"

Something about Hua Cheng's expression here is killing me--I know this is supposed to be a delicate moment of reassurance but the pure hater energy radiating off of him is just immaculate

#tgcf #hua cheng #xie lian #hualian #words cannot express how much I love hua cheng being a hater #hua cheng in this pic is that energy when you keep spamming the A button when an npc you don't like won't stop talking #like his face when lang qianqiu keeps going on and on about his parents meeting an untimely unjust and grisly end #is so 'it was hundreds of years ago and it wasn't even gege's fault for fucks sake grow up' #'leave my goddamn wife alone he raised you with love and diligence' #'you had your bloody revenge what more do you want. figure it out far away from us.' #spoken like a true ghost king who slaps eming every single time it expresses a single inconvenient emotion he has #every day i have to resist the urge to gush about hc he's just hilarious and peak every single time i love him #no notes just banger after banger after banger #that's the face of a man who was orphaned as a child and clawed his way through life to survive and keep his loved one alive + well #a bastion of unmoving strength for 800 years #unmoved by the whining of a young man born with everything and mourning the loss of his innocence way past his expiration date #10/10 hua cheng you've done it again #hc said 'oh? a traumatic life event? we have several dozens of those git gud' #and honestly i mean that with no malice i just feel like lang qianqiu is old enough to start parsing the world in a more nuanced way ;;;;; #as much as xl thought lying to him was the best outcome hc was right--the truth d o e s matter--and not just to absolve xl #its also about giving lang qianqiu closure and moving on. about qi rong facing the consequences of his actions #so much of what is wrong with the heavenly court is the obsession with maintaining appearances over being sincere #and so much of what hc adores about xl is that xl was never really interested in those empty words and empty sentiments #he truly wanted people to prosper and live well no matter the cost to himself

Interesting that the first case we see Xie Lian solve is basically about how love and devotion can go wrong.

Xuan Ji loves and worships Pei Ming to the point of obsession but it’s a selfish love. She doesn’t really care about how Pei Ming feels or what he wants—only about forcing her own feelings onto him. Even to the point of hurting herself in order to try and force Pei Ming to stay with her.

It’s a great contrast to how Hua Cheng handles his own love and devotion to Xie Lian. Hua Cheng’s love is one without expectations or demands. He’s never needed Xie Lian to return his feelings or even know of them because to him respecting Xie Lian’s autonomy and choices has always been more important.

Where Xuan Ji’s love is selfish Hua Cheng’s is selfless.

#tgcf #hua cheng #xuan ji #xie lian #literary foils #character contrasts #i love hua cheng so much #like how mxtx is like: alright here are all the pitfalls of this trope #now let me dismantle all of them one by one in this essay of love and devotion done right

A part of a comics for school (barely disguised tgcf fanart) i had to cut for pacing but still like.

errgh just hc never expecting anything from xl, nvr having a "oh no i put him on a pedestal he cant reach" and instead just wanting xl for things he has done, not things he will and how xl lost so much bc ppl put him on such a pedestal and how hc was the only one who listened when xl told him not to kneel and how the uniqueness in hc's view of xl isnt bc he sees him as untouchable when everyone saw him as touchable but because he saw him as touchable when everyone saw him as untouchable

#ergh just! just! them! they! #xl had to spend so much time earning everyones love constantly and eventually couldnt anymore and! and! he doesnt have to with hc cause hc #loves him for what hes done not what he will do!!!! #hc's devotion isnt based on seeing xl as above him but as seeing them as equals yet thinking xl has managed to do so much more with that!!! #ergh them #hua cheng #xie lian #hualian #tgcf #mxtx tgcf #heaven official’s blessing #i have so many emotions abt these two
