#mxtx is a genius

Some idiots on Reddit...

"MXTX isn't very good at writing sex scenes"

"Why did WXs first time have to be in the dirt, in a bush"

"why couldn't they have found a nice inn instead"

Seriously? Are they stupid?

Firstly, I commend MXTX for writing more realistic (bar WWXs self-lubricating asshole) sex scenes. Especially first times, which can be messy and a fumble! Personally, I enjoyed the sex scenes in MDZS, they were important to the plot and even had bits of information and revelations peppered in them!

Secondly, it wasn't "in the dirt" you illiterate moron. MXTX actually set the scene beautifully with the morning dew perfusing in the air around them, the soft grass underneath them and everything. It was actually rather romantic in my opinion. MXTX had them do it there for two very important reasons, that should be obvious to anyone with half a brain cell.

They were so fucking turned on by each other, they simply couldn't wait. That's hot, that's sexy, that's romantic. They've had feelings for each other for years, both wanting the other's attention and affection. Finally, finally everything is cleared up and they know how in love they truly are. They can't wait a second longer. And why the fuck should they? Just because some idiot wanted cliché candles and a bed in an inn.

It wasn't feasible to have them do it in an inn either way. The amount of noise and egging on WWX spouted as they discovered their shared kinks! It had to be somewhere far away from people, otherwise it wouldn't have happened because WWX would have held himself back and so would have LWJ. MXTX set the scene for this perfectly.

And finally, the other reason MXTX has them get busy in the bushes... To clear up the final misunderstanding, the blindfolded kiss. The fact they were in the woods, with the scent of dewy grass was all part of her setting the scene to jog WWX memory and remind him of that time. Of that non-con kiss that contributed in giving him a bit of a sexual awakening (alongside seeing a hot and bothered LWJ) and a nod towards the CNC kink he had and obviously enjoyed!

We get to see just how turned on WWX is by LWJ being so forceful. How delighted he is that his first kiss was taken by the only person he ever had feelings for. He loves how crazy he drives LWJ, how unrestrained he can make him, and how much LWJ wants him. That's the whole god damn point of this scene! To show their kinks and have them explore them freely.

So, sorry it wasn't in some shitty inn... But MXTX wanted to actually further the plot and give WX so much more than just sex. Why don't you go read some fluffy, cliché porn without plot stories on AO3 instead of shitting on a masterpiece that clearly went above your head.

The contrast between Feng Xin and Mu Qing's powers.

Like FX is literally considered a Sex God. While MQ literally gets stronger in his Abstinence.

since it's the first of april let me talk abt my fav prank of tgcf is when xie lian made his communication array password be 'just recite the ethics sutra a thousand times' just cuz he thought he was being funny and I imagine it went like this

other gods : so, what's your communication array password ?? let's be friends

xie lian : just recite the ethics sutra a thousand times ^_^

other gods : ...

xie lian : the password is just recite the ethics sutra a thousand times

which led to no one talking to him in the first place during his first ascension meanwhile xie lian and feng xin just giggling together cuz of the joke

#oh xie lian your adorable little bean I LOVE YOU #he's such a genius for this ngl #what's the point if you don't make anyone speechless cuz of the shit you say with a straight face ??? #happy april fool's day you goofy goose #tgcf #heaven official's blessing #xie lian #tian guan ci fu #mxtx #danmei #heaven officials blessing #hua cheng #hualian

Instead of saying "I bet even MXTX didn't thought of that" let's appreaciats of how SHE DID thought about all these references, foils, side story's and all the amazing search and study she did, a lot of authors could never

so close to writing about mdzs for my greek tragedy class—wwx as a tragic figure who does everything “right” according to his moral sense but suffers anyways, the jianghu as the chorus switching allegiances at the drop of a hat, nhs as a sort of deus ex machina righting wrongs at the cost of the stability of the ruling class

I was reading a manhwa and when I saw HOHO i was like PEI MING???!?! and then it dawned on me - "Oh god tgcf has made me lose my sanity" The Hualian Brainrot is very much real and is rotting at my sanity as we speak

SVSSS thoughts; perspective

Perspective and the change of it is a major part of the story telling in Scum Villain. I think it’s used in such a genius way, because through Shen Qingqiu’s horrifically unreliable narration, the novel is distorted in such a way that makes characterisation a very difficult topic, alongside drastically altering the concepts and themes explored. 

Through Shen Qingqiu’s eyes, everything is rather black and white. “Luo Binghe will be blackened, Liu Qingge will die, Liu Mingyan, Sha Hualing, and Ning Yingying will marry Luo Binghe, and I’ll just try not to get pickled. Easy right?” But because Shen Qingqiu sees everyone through this extreme lens, the drama of the novel is downplayed significantly. Transmigration novels will always have a moment where the main character realises that they’re in a novel, that the people here all have thoughts and feelings just like they do, and it’s done in such an interesting way with Shen Qingqiu, because it’s one of the four (4) times he’s like entirely serious throughout the novel. He realises that he’s alive and breathing, and that the actions he takes affect those around him, and suddenly the world has a bit more of grey added to the spectrum. He rather quickly accepted he was in the novel originally, so this is essentially a world-shattering realisation for him, having to actually think about his feelings beyond speed running a sexuality crisis. 

But because the novel is through SQQ’s eyes, we don’t see the other side of the coin, we don’t see Luo Binghe, or Liu Qingge, or even Yue Qingyuan’s view on everything (which haunts me because it would be SO COOL AND INTERESTING). And they would all be such interesting topics to explore, because having Scum Villain from entirely Luo Binghe’s perspective would be a legitimate nightmare. Young and vaguely traumatised Luo Binghe being abused by his teacher, then suddenly he wakes up one day in his little woodshed and his Shizun is nice to him? And he continues to be nice to him for years? And then he pushes him into Actual Hell for no apparent reason (because at the end of the day, SQQ had gone around saying that demons were cool for years, before quick-step changing his mind the second his beloved student was one, which was ridiculous and he should be lucky LBH was only murderous for a few years because I would have done a lot worse honestly)? And then his teacher dies for him? And then comes back? And continues to sacrifice himself despite all the wrong he’s done, and you never get an explanation for it? Luo Binghe doesn’t need nor want an explanation for SQQ’s actions though, he’s content to just have his Shizun by his side.  

I found while writing my Luo Binghe analysis on his MBTI that it was seriously difficult to find good instances of characterisation simply because SQQ made everything difficult by being a blockhead about anyone and everyone. I really wanted to talk about this because SVSSS is my favourite of MXTX’s works and it deserves to be equal parts criticised and applauded for this narrative perspective. The unreliability presents a challenge to her audience, and also gives depth to the extent to which you can characterise and the extent one's head canons can prevail. I thought people would talk about this more, but I’ve only seen like 2 people ever talk about this </3

also, an obvious thing that I just realised

have you noticed that

tgcf basically starts with a story that’s extremely similar to yet drastically different from the main one

a ghost who waits for their beloved god for hundreds of years, unable and desperately wishing to meet him

familiar, isn’t it?

and it’s so, so smart how it’s about Xuan Ji

but also about Hua Cheng

such similar sounding love stories

yet it’s the “love” in them that makes the most important difference

tgcf starts with a story of a destructive, vile, selfish “love”

yet it follows with a story of the most beautiful, tender and utterly selfless love

At fifteen, during summer camp in Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian invents a bunch of talismans when bored or prompted by Nie Husaisang. Thinking it awfully funny, he creates a throwaway account at a professional cultivation research/purchase network and uploads them for sale for a modest fee. Then, he forgets about the whole thing. Years later, the mysterious Yiling Patriarch is known in all Jianghu as an elusive genius cultivator who revolutionised his field. Those two statements might or might not be related.

In other words: three different ways in which Wei Wuxian finds out he is filthy rich and academically acclaimed. That’s it. That’s the story.

A gift for @ladyunderthemolehill. Happy New Year!

Me thinking about the poetic genius behind how wei ying switched from suibian to chenqing. From his carefree “whatever” to his guarded “to explain one’s actions”. The way his weapons mirror his choices and his life in this essay I-

MXTX's use of in media res technique in the first chapter of Mo Dao Zu Shi is so brilliant, it's by far one of my favorite book beginnings, not only for the impact it brings (especially with the first sentence of the chapter), but also in how it dialogues perfectly with the theme of the book.

By presenting the protagonist through the (wrong) view of certain characters, she not only establishes one of the main themes of the book, which is precisely the rumors and how certain facts are extremely distorted in the cultivation world, but also establishes a foreshadow with the rest of the story.

This is noticeable not only in the presence of flashbacks throughout the book, but also in the way they are positioned throughout the chapters.

This all results in an incredible deconstruction in which we are introduced to a character who is supposed to be someone immoral and cruel, who used his cultivation for evil and brought only misfortunes, but who in the end we discover it was just someone who was convinced of doing good, even if it meant he would have to fight those in power....

Even if he had to die for it....

#mdzs #mdzs meta ?? #mxtx is a genius in her writing #I had more to say on this topic #like for example #the parallel of this chapter with the last one (113) by showing how they also harshly criticized jgy.... #but i don't know how to organize it into something understandable
