You may be a lover but you ain't no fucking dancer

It’s unfortunate that MDZS isn’t mainstream enough to reference in casual offline conversation, because “this is what killed Nie Mingjue” is thee best possible way to describe an offensively grating piece of music and there is simply no normie equivalent.

there’s just something so awesome about a character you love getting really badly hurt

ily characters that cry when they're angry and then get even more angry because they're crying

watching a scene with a fav character can be so humiliating sometimes. like yes i'm watching this scene with this character because i want to see the character. yes i've paused it multiple times because i got too excited. before the character fully entered the screen even. guhhhh

For what it's worth, the way it's framed I don't think is intended to redeem Jiang Cheng's character as a 'twist.' Rather, I think it's the narrative turning directly to face the audience and saying "hey, remember everything we've been saying in the story up to this point about the untrustworthiness of rumor and secondhand gossip and how people will take a falsehood and run riot with it and how you never know a person's full motivations? Well, guess what buddy, you fell for it too. You thought you knew what was happening and what a person was thinking and doing based entirely on secondhand reports, and it turns out you were wrong, and you sank a lot of emotional investment into that misunderstanding and it was all barking up the wrong tree. Chew on that for a bit." and then the story ends.

liking a popular pairing but not caring for the more popular takes on the characters’ supposed dynamic is agonizing like oh okay i guess i’ll just go fuck myself then. water water everywhere but not a drop to drink

together, with the power of angst and doomed yaoi, we can make chengxian even more toxic and insane about each other <3

u can be actively suicidal on here and people will tag it with their fandoms
