#both flavors are equally good 😌😌

[hetacakes]

How about a this xiaolumi au idea where Lumine is forced to become a divine monster(aka Xiao)’s virginal sacrifice but all he tells her on their “wedding night” is “I won’t do anything that will make you uncomfortable, I’ll leave you be. Goodnight.” Who knew her new “monstrous husband” was a gentleman?

that's such xiao behavior he definitely would

then again i kinda wanna see him give in because i mean look they've given him such a perfect little star for him to do as he pleases so why shouldn't he? the demons seem to agree with that sentiment...

this idea can go both ways and both are equally good im so conflicted 👀👀 decisions decisions

#question for an answer #xiao would be a gentleman to lumi #they could deliver her half naked to his doorstep and he would still look away and give her privacy #he would also think about her in the middle of the night sooo 👀👀 #both flavors are equally good 😌😌

if you had an alternate profession for chrysi/jacks/azure/gil what would it be? what is everyones fave music genre…and some stuff for any ship: one thing both physical and non-physical they love abt their partner? what was the moment either one of them knew that they were really in love?

alt profession

chrysi: ohhh hmmmm…………………….. she’s the hardest to answer for, i feel, since so much of who she is boils down to “paranormal investigator of various flavors”………. she’d go too stir-crazy if she was an artist or an illustrator in any professional regard, and she deliberately didn’t pursue any type of concert pianist position since the competition would’ve driven her batty (triggered her bipolar disorder too badly)… srry to be stereotypical, but i think she would be a detective of sorts. :((. i cannot think of anything else besides mortician, but even that’s not exciting enough for chrysi unless there’s a constant string of demonic possessions <///3 sighs.

jacks: this man doesn’t know how to work. i want to put him in a minimum wage job as a barista and watch him shatter under the pressure. or perhaps he’d make an excellent secretary 🖤 jokes aside, i see him being, like, inherited position high up in an insurance company or something (maybe that’s the black ocn au kicking down my door rn,,:.,, he uses chrysi’s “psychic abilities” to make sure they don’t have to pay a ton of money back to ppl that bought their insurance a while back…. rlly chrysi can jst see when ppl are about to die 💀). jacks doesn’t seem the type that likes to work too hard, but he’s rlly good at being a socialite 🥰

azure: PHOTOJOURNALIST PHOTOJOURNALIST PHOTOJOURNALIST. first one i thought of!!!! or jst a journalist in general!!!! he meets chrysi because she’s a detective on a story he’s writing abt and they fall in love 🖤 or he could be a forensics photographer or w/e they’re called,,,, jst something to do w photography because he’s sooooo passionate abt it!!! literally house of leaves navidson but, like, his wife is equally insane abt the house doing fucked up spatial reconfigurations so it’s a happy ending this time 🥰

gil: literally. like. not to be lame, but probably as a detective or something… a private detective perhaps… it’s basic, i know. i would say he could be a bodyguard maybe, but it doesn’t fit his VIBE. he smokes so much because he’s a detective on a difficult case okay!!!! no, chrysi doesn’t have this problem but that’s because she didn’t think oscar vessalius looked cool as hell when she was growing up!!!….. truthfully, i think gil doesn’t know where to go with his profession, so he jst chose the one that he felt would make him be most needed. ((in reality, he should’ve jst become a housewife 🙄 he’s already an excellent role model for every single woman in the neighborhood!!! HOUSEWIFE GIL, HOUSEWIFE GIL!!!!!))

fav music genre

chrysi: difficult to say because of her various songs, but she defs falls into alternative rock / indie rock the most.. plus she loves any type of piano music since she’s a pianist 🥰

jacks: he’s into pop. i mean… like. yeah. and then a liiiiitle bit of electroswing, but he doesn’t tell anybody about that, now does he.

azure: generally he’s also an alternative music type of person, but he tends to err more towards melancholy music. also, he likes french pop. who knew?

gil: i think primarily pop punk. idk, whatever genre fall out boy is. he jst seems the type to have an intense fall out boy phase <///3 (because i was having a fall out boy phase when i first read the manga 💀 i can admit my wrongs). also, i think he’d listen to classical music, but he’s picky abt it and he tries not to let ppl know he’s picky abt it because he doesn’t want ppl to judge him :((

what they love: physical

chryzure: chrysi loves azure’s pretty eyes and hair so very much…. she likes running her fingers through his curls and looking him in the eyes :) ALSO she likes his long legs + collarbones because. obvi.

azure likes her neck 😌 it’s a very good place for him to kiss. he also thinks her face is nice to hold in his hands because she’s always batting her eyelashes and smiling up at him. OH WAIT, chrysi also has two little crescent moon marks—one on the edge of her rib cage and the other on the opposite hip, and azure likes those vv much bc. his symbol is a. crescent moon…. he has a crescent moon mark behind his ear……… that’s his wife gf soulmate…….. mark-bonded 🥺 ((this was an accidental move on my part and then i realized they are soulmates and it makes total sense 🖤🖤🖤)

chrysijacks: DIMPLES. she’s never ever going to admit it out loud, but chrysi loves jacks’s dimples + his smile and skcksiviejjceisjvndk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he sucks!!!! they’re dating.

jacks likes chrysi’s lips sm??? esp since she has a little freckle on her lower lip and he’s mesmerized by it. catch him staring openly at her mouth at all times because he is Going To Kiss Her. He’s Going To Kiss Her So Hard.

chrysigil: she thinks his eyes are a vv pretty gold (like… they feel like there’s life to it, versus her own (eventually) pale-gold eyes that r scary) and OBVIOUSLY SHES NOT GOING TO IGNORE HIS LITTLE THIGH HOLSTER FOR HIS PISTOL!!!!!!!!!! she is looking respectfully.

gil…. he likes how small chrysi is??? jst because he likes protecting ppl & when he holds her, she is so small and he likes the feeling of protecting her from the world……….. :)

what they love: non-physical

chryzure: chrysi loves azure’s practical nature (and how he leans into that to make countless deadpan jokes….. she thinks his sense of humor is top-notch) because it helps keep her grounded. azure, on the other hand, likes the way that chrysi’s so bright and outgoing and ruthless and that she experiences every single strong emotion, because it helps him feel less like a one-note person.,,,, they break up each other’s monotony and keep each other from falling into their various hells….

chrysijacks: chrysi likes how jacks is a schemer, even though she makes fun of him for it 🖤 she thinks it’s cute how he’ll always try something new and he’s vv determined and one-minded about things in a way to add interest to his life. jacks rlly likes how ruthless and cruel chrysi can be at the same time as being kind and good. it should be contradictory, but for chrysi, it makes sense….. her strong moral code fascinates him sm!!!!

chrysigil: chrysi likes how devoted gil is + how caring he is at his core. he loves helping people and it draws her to him (even though she tries to keep herself at a distance because she feels she cannot trust her heart with anyone after losing azure..,,,,,,, ;;;; ). gil likes chrysi’s own brand of caring for others and how everything she does is for the good of others (but it distresses him that it’s always done at her own expense… girl, STOP, you’re making gil want to cry ;; ) PLUS gil thinks chrysi’s curiosity is vv cute 😌

the moment they fell in love

chryzure: truly…. i think it was literally jst them doing something normal.. like when azure knew precisely where chrysi would be in the bookstore because he knew she visits the horror section first, and when he found her there and she looked up, she realized nobody else knew her quite as well as azure….. and when they were walking home, they decided to hold hands instead of keep them to themselves and they were looking up at the stars together and they kissed…… yeah :)

chrysijacks: a little more difficult, BUT i think right after jacks nearly drowned for chrysi, when chrysi realized he loved her and she realized she loved him back…! that she didn’t want anything bad to happen to jacks (even though he deserves it) and she liked being in his company… and that was when chrysi allowed herself to sink into jacks’s embrace 🥰 that was it. the moment of love. took long enough.

chrysigil: this is a messy one, but honestly, it’s way deeper into their relationship than you might think… like long after they’ve established themselves to be a Thing, where they’re close to each other and chrysi will kiss gil on occasion, but they don’t have a name for it. it’s after chrysi is saved from her own follies (i.e. waltzing off to take care of an investigation on her lonesome, when she was wildly emotional and not in her right mind) when gil is holding her in his hands and urging her to look into his eyes as he’s chastising her for not caring for herself and that everyone cares about her—and, yes, that includes him too!!!!… that’s when chrysi and gil lock eyes and it’s like “oh. oh, i see. we both love each other.” AUGH!!!!!

TGCF Ep 1-2 reactions

Okay it’s been a while since I’ve been in the TGCF hole but I bit and bought a 3-month bilibili subscription (it’s only $10 USD, worth it, definitely worth it, check nyerus’s how-to guide for deets)

and OH MY DIANXIA

IT’S SO FUCKING GOOD

anyway

(spoilers ahoy)

Ep 1

Okay, from the get-go, I love how they animated Xie Lian. He’s just so beautifully awkward and dorky, like, spot-on man

SOMEONE PLEASE SAY THANK YOU TO LING WEN XIE LIAN CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE. GOD YOU UNGRATEFUL HEAVENLY FUCKS

Mu Qing’s VA,,,,, :chefskiss: you are hitting every note my man (it is 胡良伟 (Hu Liangwei), by the way)

oh so w Mt. Yujun arc cannon fodder dude (yeah that’s right I used to be a living tgcf encyclopedia, now I don’t even remember his name), at first I was like ‘hmmm why is he bald’ but actually it makes sense bc convicts would have hair cut off as punishment, so it’s emphasizing his being a mob boss

godddddd the Xian Le trio dynamic is GAWRGOUUSSS

seriously I love fengqing like personally the ship isn’t my bag except as crack but as two people who can’t be in a room together, the DYNAMIC. THE FLAVOR,,,,,

D I C K Y A N G T E M P L E

the atmosphere is fantastic, btw. pacing is a bit quick, but that’s how it goes sometimes I can’t blame em it’s a long novel

okay again it’s been a while since I was super in the tgcf hole, but when the the sedan started moving through the woods and Xie Lian shooed fengqing away, and the BUTTERFLY??? I’m not gonna lie my mouth made some noises, enough to startle my cat

Oh so they’re just gonna spoil everything huh

JUN WU???????

SHOW ME DADDY’S FACE YOU COWARDS

(hey remember when someone sent that ask and I was like “I am not into daddy kink” hahaha well what happened? spl happened. I am very sorry.)

(actually I’m really only into calling Jun Wu daddy ironically he’s still a pillow princess in my heart uwu)

LMAO They’re just spoiling EVERYTHING. HUH.

IS THAT. FUCKING. RUOYE’S ORIGIN. THAT ROOM. YOU ARE. REMINDING ME ABOUT CH.191 RIGHT HERE ON THIS HUALIANWEEN IN FRONT OF THE CINNAMON ROLLS I BAKED FOR HUALIANWEEN ON HUALIANWEEN

BITCH

TAKE THAT BACK

no but really I actually... we’ll see where this goes tbh it’s prob good to have some knowledge of Hua Cheng’s background I mean let’s be real funi’s “SAN LANG, THE GHOST KING *bassdrop*” thing isn’t really all that bad I mean didn’t mxtx also spoil it in the author notes pretty much as soon as he showed up?

I mean if you didn’t get the whole San Lang=Hua Cheng thing from LITERALLY ALL THE ART (okay maybe that’s an exaggeration there’s been a lot of art) being Xie Lian & San Lang, like, I don’t know what to tell you

but that’s one thing, spoiling how he’s the kid Xie Lian saved and the “live for me” thing is another

but we’ll see how it changes the viewer experience

Ep 2

“His footsteps aren’t making imprints, he must be young.” HE’S DEAD, HAROLD

okay but for real Xie Lian in an updo 😌  good shit

lol I have way fewer reactions to this ep but yeah I dig I dig they’re definitely representing the novel faithfully (except the aforementioned spoilers AHAHA)

BITCH WHY Y’ALL AFRAID OF BLOOD AREN’T YOU BANDITS??

just realized how Mu Qing being the one to go back to heaven for reinforcements and Xie Lian being like “bye bitch” super parallels, uh, well you know

the brief look of hurt on his face 😭

I think you can tell by now I’m a Mu Qing stan LMAO

oh boy I am so looking forward to Xie Lian’s human face disease flashbacks next episode

donghua’s doing a lot of smart things, like interspersing Xie Lian’s deductions about Xuan Ji (FUCK I forgot that’s her name in pinyin sorry my favorite bird man for having to share that although to be fair you are both equally possessive of your lovers) and her faults with the cannon fodder’s, it’s good for pacing and mood

ALRIGHT THAT’S IT HAPPY HUALIANWEEN GHOSTFUCKERS

#tian guan ci fu #天官赐福 #天官赐福动画 #tgcf donghua #brim reacts #yeah guess I'll make this a series #anyway this was a treat #and tomorrow are ToT reveals #OH BOY
