hes the crown PRINCESS to me

Hua Cheng being portrayed as stalking and always sticking to an indifferent Xie Lian in fandom is such an offensively bad portrayal when you read the novel and see Xie Lian sticking to him like glue at every encounter. Xie Lian’s the one who wanted to take Honghong’er along and keep him in the temple. Xie Lian’s the one who wanted to promote the young soldier to working directly under him. Xie Lian’s the one who saves the ghost flame and doesn spurn its presence. Xie Lian’s the one who asks San-lang to stay. Xie Lian’s the one who asks Hua Cheng to come to him. Xie Lian’s the one who confesses. Their entire relationship is Xie Lian looking at Hua Cheng at every stage of life and death and going, “Him. The one I want by my side is him.”

guys how bad of whiplash do you think i’m going to get from reading erha back to back with the fish mpreg

shipping a consensual, safe & sane pairing all the while i'm shaking my head in disapproval so the audience knows i still love wildly toxic abusive fictional dynamics

everytime i think about the concept of soulmates i mourn the fact that it's never turned on its head as a tragedy

stands up on my chair i think having a soulmate should be a kind of divine punishment
