#making Xie Lian a stoat is the biggest brained move this fandom ever made

[adragonthatwrites]

I absolutely love a stoat being Xie Lian''s animal counterpart or whatever we call it, because while they are utterly adorable, they are also little MONSTERS.

Like do you have any idea how fierce those little mo-fo's are? They take down prey ten times their size. If I remember correctly they have incredibly high hunting success rates. They will run fades with rats larger than themselves.

And their energy levels... Insane!

What I'm saying here is that this animal perfectly encapsulates Xie Lian; adorable and seemingly harmless at a first glance, but secretly a crazy little weirdo that can and will kill things ten times his size before retreating into his little rundown shrine/nest to sleep in incomprehensible positions while wrapped several times over around his mildly concerned but also delighted fox husband.

#making Xie Lian a stoat is the biggest brained move this fandom ever made #There's also the weasel war dance to consider #which puts the image of Xie Lian wildly flailing himself about in some field #in an attempt to confuse some ghost into coming close enough to stab #I imagine it works very well on Hua Cheng #tgcf #xie lian #hualian
