Even after everything that happened, He Xuan still keeps an eye out for Shi Qingxuan. One day, He Xuan decides to buy Shi Qingxuan a present.
Jun Wu, leading a heavenly meeting: Anything of note to report from Ghost City?
He Xuan: Again, nothing to tell. Crimson Rain Sought Flower is elusive and it is hard to track his movements.
(after the meeting ends)
He Xuan, kicking Hua Cheng's door open: You are not going to fucking believe what Pei Ming said today.
“He no longer believed in anyone, especially himself.”

Ling Wen + The Blackwater Arc
There was a moment right after the Blackwater arc that really had me wondering what we get from Ling Wen over the course of the arc, so here we go.
Ling Wen first appears along with Shi Wudu and Pei Ming in Shi Wudu’s golden carriage, to come get Shi Qingxuan. Here, she’s clearly just as worried as Pei Ming is (in my translation, there is a lot of talk about both of their facial expressions dropping/changing over the course of that scene). Additionally, she’s the last to get back into the carriage, and says this to Xie Lian before she leaves:
Also, I like the detail about her picking up the Wind Master fan here! But this is mostly what I like to call a Siri moment—she’s kind of just providing context and narration. Except this time, she knows more than she lets on, and that continues to be the case throughout the rest of the novel (the main example being when Xie Lian calls her about the Brocade Immortal. Oops).
The next Ling Wen appearance happens when Xie Lian+Co come to help with Shi Wudu’s heavenly calamity. This is mostly another Siri moment, but its placement is honestly a little genius—because of the way it contrasts her following appearance.
For contrast, this is her next moment. It’s quite a while after, but the next time she appears is when the Shi brothers suddenly go missing… and she is freaked out. (The first line here is also her dialogue)
First of all, she’s yelling at other officials in the communication array. I don’t think we saw her do that before this point. And then there’s the line about how “she seemed to change into a completely different person”, when she saw Xie Lian.
Also, the fact that she only asks about Shi Wudu and Pei Ming… she’s got priorities, and I don’t blame her. This also is the last Ling Wen appearance before Shi Wudu dies.
The next we see of her, it’s after. It’s not specified whether she knows that Shi Wudu died or not (which I find a little sad). Anyway, here she’s sending Quan Yizhen to Puqi Shrine.
There isn’t much emotion in that moment, which honestly makes me think she doesn’t know about Shi Wudu’s death (at this point, Pei Ming doesn’t know either).
Then, we don’t see her again until the part that describes Shi Wudu’s funeral.
I do find it interesting that, while Pei Ming is mentioned as being the one who brought back Shi Wudu’s corpse, it’s never explicitly mentioned that he was at the funeral, even though Ling Wen was there. I kind of hope he was… but if he wasn’t, what then?
The last Ling Wen appearance of this arc is the one that made me so curious about her presence during it in the first place. Also… 😭😭
She hadn’t smiled in days. Ok, what if I just jumped out the window, what then.
Anyway, even if Ling Wen isn’t physically present during this arc, her concern and emotion is still there, and it also sets up her character a little more for the Brocade Immortal arc, which directly follows.
I just love her so much. And the three tumors make me sad. (Also, Shi Wudu and Ling Wen’s friendship is my favorite ever.)
If you made it here, thanks for reading!

AND IT'S SO GOOD
I will come back to scream after the season is over (or not, i might just scream here anyways)
thinking about how the mask of the god-pleasing warrior fell when xie lian caught hong hong'er in his arms at the procession. that he was meant to be pretending to be jun wu for the performance but instead broke character to save a little boy. just one. even if it meant disrupting the entire thing. how saving hong hong'er revealed his true face to the public. how that unmasked him and created a clear distinction between himself and jun wu from the very beginning. it's the very first thing we see xie lian do, the very first thing mxtx shows us about him. because that act was wholly his own and he took full responsibility for it even (especially!!!) if the heavens disapproved of it. just thinking about it. and how time and time again when xie lian wears a mask, whether it's for show or forced on or used to hide, in the end he cannot help but reveal the true face beneath. that his kind nature can never be restrained. that he will always do what he thinks is right, even if it causes uproar, even if it takes him a while to get there, even if it must be at the cost of his own life. isn't he so wonderful
happy halloween from xie lian and wuming <3
These are so incredibly cold!!
I was gonna write cool but, you know what, my autocorrect was actually right for once!! Cool is not cool enough for how awesome these are!!
AFTER WORKING ON THIS FOR ALMOST A WHOLE WEEK, I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED!!!!
I know I have written a lot, so do not feel obligated to read it all, but if you want to glance through just to see what classes + subclasses I have assigned, please feel free!! Here is a taste of what you will see below the cut:
BEYOND THIS POINT, THERE WILL BE HUGE SPOILERS. READING THE MANHUA OR WATCHING THE DONGHUA WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. THIS WILL HAVE MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR MULTIPLE MAJOR VILLAINS AND SECRET TWISTS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
This has been a huge labor of love, and I am really not expecting anybody but me and maybe one or two others to have any interest in this, so if you have read them all or even half, thank you so much!!! My intimate knowledge of every single 5e subclass finally has a use, yay!!!
If you wanna talk D&D or TGCF ever, feel free to message me. If you have differing ideas of what classes these people would be, I'm happy to talk about that!!!
Also most of all, thank you @liese1015 for inspiring me to get off my ass and participate in the fandom I love for once! 💖
TGCF References: Martial Gods (New Heaven AU)
This is something I’ve been slowly working on over the last few months, and I’m not even finished yet! This is only Part 1: The Martial Gods I’ll probably do the Ghost Kings next! This is suppossed to be just a simplified little reference sheet for myself, so I know what’s going on with their outfits and colors (hence why I couldn’t bother to draw them fingers in some cases, etc.) I basically started working on this because I was going absolutely insane that I couldn’t find clear references on any of the charachters, like the details on their outfits and their colors, soooo I made my own! Most of these are based on the Donghua designs (with my additions here and there where it wasn’t clear what’s goning on), for the charachters that don’t have a Donghua design yet I used the Manhua one, and those who have neither I used the Book/made up my own design, I’ll probably change those when we get official Donghua designs. This is also more of a reference sheet for my post-canon/next-gen New Heaven AU, which is why Xie Lian has the fancy new outfit and is the new Heavenly Emperor, and why the Ghost Kings won’t include Bai Wuxiang, but a secret new Ghost King instead!
