Syrupy Sweet

Y’all I’m only 1 vol into Heaven Official’s Blessing but my heart hurts for Xie Lian so much. Wdym the nicest guy ever who has only ever wanted to help ppl has been hurt so many times that he doesn’t even feel physical pain anymore. Wdym when others get angry at him for getting hurt he says it’s fine when his hand is swelling up with lethal poison. Wdym he’s so used to others seeing him as nothing that he thinks of himself that way sometimes. And then Hua Cheng with his ‘I won’t put you down, it’s dirty’ treating Xie Lian as too pure and precious to sully his feet by stepping in the blood and corpses of the people he just killed for his sake. I get it I get why you guys are insane abt them

we ran out of devotion that corrupts. would you guys be cool with devotion thats a little annoying to everyone

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.

say what you like about him but i have a lot of respect for luo binghe’s courtship methods. like he tried the “look what you’re missing out on” approach okay, he gave it a fair go. “look how cool and hot and powerful i am” is a straight up classic and he had it nailed down, he had his evil sword and dramatic poses to strike, he was locked tf in. but then when that failed to work he pivoted like a champion, going from his sexy badass persona to full-on sad kitten out in the rain, and i don’t think he gets enough credit for that. he is a grownass demonic emperor with subjects and presumably a lot of enemies looking for weakness, and yet he has fully committed to the untried and extremely specific “warbling baby bird” approach to wooing shen qingqiu. he is wailing and clinging to the best of his exceptional ability, all dignity abandoned, to get his man. that’s dedication.
