16 years ago: ["Good News" from Wicked starts playing]

"The Yiling Patriarch is dead! That's really great news! He was evil and crafty and set the Clans against each other >:( The Jiang Clan took him in and it was nearly destroyed! He's evil!!!!"

[Cold cut to the Saddest Most Broken Man You've Ever Seen watching people kill each other and unable to stop them. He promptly jumps off a cliff. Very Evil, yes.]

"But they never found a body so. There's a tiny possibility he's not dead. But that's just rumor!"

16 years later: Mo Xuanyu "Oh you abuse me? You kick Xuyuan's body like the football? DEATH to the Mo Clan!!! Death to the Mo Clan for 1000 years via Yiling Patriarch himself!!!!!"

Now that Heated Rivalry has entered the chat (and I'd argue Schitt's Creek dipped a toe in first), we now have a new C-BL: Canadian BL. Since it might be tricky to tell the C-BLs apart, I've compiled a handy chart to help.

Hanguang-jun knew A-Yuan would never be as unrestrained as Wei Ying once was. Even so, he could not bring himself to subject the boy under the full severity of the Gusu Lan Sect’s discipline. Somewhere, there had to be a middle ground. Just enough structure, balanced with the freedom for A-Yuan to simply be himself. What Hanguang-jun had not anticipated was how quickly time would slip through his fingers. One day, A-Yuan was just tall enough to swing from his arms; the next, he was far too big for it. When had children started growing up so fast?

Jin Guangyao takes Lan Xichen hostage before the Second Siege of the Burial Mounds occurs, which means they're together full day at the very least before Wangxian catch up with them. However, Jin Guangyao's lore dump/explanation for his actions at the temple--and Lan Xichen's openness to hearing it--suggests that much of this is brand-new information for Lan Xichen.

So like... what did they TALK about during the several hours in which Lan Xichen was being disconsolately carted around to multiple cities with sealed cultivation by Jin Guangyao & Co.?

I have admittedly never been lovingly held hostage by my beloved friend whom I know for sure has murdered another friend, among other things, but I would be pretty curious about several things, such as "why did you kill my other friend?" and "why do you think you need to flee the country when as far as I know, nobody but me, my brother, and my brother's resurrected war criminal boyfriend even knows about that and we can't prove it?" and "why are we stopping at this temple in Yunmeng?" and "why are we excavating a grave in this temple in Yunmeng?"
