@yuanre​ asked   :   001: TGCF  -   send me a fandom/ship/character (accepting)
I split this into 3 cause it’s way too long to answer in one : ‘ ) 
001 | send me a fandom and i will tell you my:
favorite character:     It’s gotta be Xie LIan. Whole other post HERE about why, really, but it’s gotta be Xie Lian.
least favorite character:     You know, good question. This is one of those books where I like...don’t have clear dislikes? Like I don’t dislike a singular character in this whole thing completely (not even Bai Wuxiang, who, In his Calamity Form, I honestly view as more of a symbol than a character at times). Honestly I think all of them are...kind of fine tbh. But if I really had to, I guess...I’m not particularly fond of Rong Guang? I understand the narratives but I also like...am kind of shrug about him in general? Also man’s super noisy (and not even in the Qi Rong way) so like...ehhhhh.
5 favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Hualian (obviously), fengqing, xianle trio ot3 (and every leg of the ot3), pei xiu / banyue (idk what the ship name is or if ppl actually ship this but like...that good childhood friends vibe...I’m a ho sorry...), obligatory “I think Yushi Huang/Xuanji Would Be Neat”
character i find most attractive:     Look...look...if I was Hua Cheng and Xie Lian in his whole 太子悦神 get up flew into the air and caught me as I was falling to certain death...I would also be in love with him in 0.3 seconds and stay in love with him for the next 800 years...so there you go, that’s your answer.
character i would marry: ...Yin Yu. Idk, steady job, generally unwavering morals, not intimidating to talk to, we’d both look like Side Character A standing next to everyone else, I get a fluffy adoptive child quan yizhen by extension - sounds like a good life ok.
character i would be best friends with:     Can I be besties w/ Yushi Huang’s ox idk I just think that’d be neat fjsdlaflskdajf
a random thought:     I literally send a prayer to Ling Wen before I take a test now...call me superstitious but like, the first time I did that I aced my inorganic final...so it’s just Become a Thing That I Do. Also man, I wonder what the real earth master was like. Huuuuh.
an unpopular opinion:     I don’t know if I have an unpopular opinion about T.GCF. Uh, well, I guess I could reveal that I’m a Heartless Bitch and the Black Water Arc Angst....didn’t do much to me emotionally oops. Like I wasn’t spoiled or anything really, so the twist was like, A Good Plot Twist, but other than that I like...was like “rip” and not much else hhhh. Mostly I was shook by how much of a madlad He Xuan is lmao  Like my man literally pOPPED SHI WUDU’S HEAD OFF LIKE HE’S A LEGO MAN. I also? Don’t? Really? Ship? B.eefleaf? But in a like, “I don’t really care” way and not a “this is my notp” way so it’s okay don’t come at me with pitchforks or nothing -
my canon otp:     Hualian takes the cake sorry. There’s just. I don’t think I’ve seen a more wholesome ship in my entire life. They hit me in all the right places and I cry and conjure up brainrot about them...daily. Every night I go to bed with hualian brainrot and wake up with hualian brainrot.
my non-canon otp:     A good question? I’m still, like, sticking my feelers out into this fandom re: ships that Aren’t Canon or at least very popularly adjacent to canon. I wouldn’t say I feel super strongly about any of them yet, they’re just, all floating about somewhere.
most badass character:     Probably I have to give this one to Hua Cheng. He threw down against 33 gods and w o n and also jjokes around while he duels Junwu, come on - it doesn’t really get More Badass Than That : ‘ D
most epic villain:    Bai Wuxiang, Xie LIan’s (and my) sleep paralysis demon, lmao
pairing i am not a fan of:     Quanyin? Is that the ship name? Sorry, as mentioned...somewhere else, I’m Incapable of seeing Quan Yizhen as anything other than a Fluffy Child. They can be bros shhh. Also some people out there in the great wide world ship Lang Qianqiu w/ Qi Rong, which is just......extremely counter-intuitive to me, but like, you do you I guess???
character i feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):     I don’t think this is a character so much as it is a plot arc but while I’m on the Lang Qianqiu kick: they absolutely under-used him, like he was there for 1/4 of an arc and then he was gone lmao. Same w/ the sub-arc w/ Jian Lan and Cuo Cuo’s accusing a guy who killed them (cause like...it’s not Mu Qing, obviously hhh). Like, I could not discern why these things were in the book except for...plot device, and neither was really...resolved? I also do wish we’d gotten a lot more of Hua Cheng’s backstory pre-Xie Lian + pre-soldier + post dissipating as Wu Ming. in text. I understand that it wasn’t like...like, there wasn’t necessarily a good place to put it, but I would’ve liked an extra or two.
favourite friendship:     Xianle Trio Xianle Trio XIanle Trio repeat important things x 3.
character i most identify with:     I don’t want to say Xie Lian but I too have that “the can’s already broken so why not throw it on the ground it’s not like I can break it more” attitude about myself. So. Uh.
character i wish i could be:     Not to be unoriginal but like...Yushi Huang. That woman has massive 大道无为 energy and is like....at peace with what she does and knows where she’s going and is uninfluenced by the world and obsession and like...I just want to be at that stage of my personal cultivation already hhhh.
