Xie Lien - Tumblr Posts
is THIS your man? [shows an image of a malnourished injured exhausted man with big sad eyes looking up at the camera with blood smeared all over his face and mouth. and he is visibly trembling]
With Xie Lian in Ghost City, he no longer has to collect scraps and eat off the ground, right? So Hua Cheng tells him to go explore, get himself something nice idk spend his money cause thats what its there for, right?
So, a few hours later Xie Lian returns all embarrassed like "omg i spent so much money!"
And Yin Yu, who's keeping the books, expects something like half the treasury or whatever
Meanwhile Xie Lian spent the equivalent of like...20$
tgcf just got ruined for me because I realised hc calling xl gege is the equivalent of xl being called bhaiya. I cannot physically recover from this excuse me I need to lay down-

feel like the main take of mxtx novels that I think gets buried in all the headcanons and discourse is that when a character- mainly the mc does something right or good it's not because they are doing it to be heroic or upstanding people. it's because if they don't do it, no one else will.
actually i would like to note a few things
the main character has died at least once in all mxtx's books
they are not allergic to death, they eat it and survive
ever main character, in every universe: i'm allergic to death
