Couldn't help myself, as per the usual. The owl house finale punched me in the guts so I made a Owl House sona! Her palisman is named Cooper and her octo-purse is named Gucci.

She used to be in the Beast Keeping coven but after the fall of Belos she rekindles her old passion for illusion magic as well!

qiao wanmian and di feisheng's first appearances in the present-day narrative are mirrors of each other, orbiting the presence of li xiangyi and li lianhua. episode 5 introduces them both in the same way, stepping back into li lianhua's life while he watches from out of sight. di feisheng emerges from seclusion, qiao wanmian meets xiao zijin in yucheng. and what other information this episode gives us about these characters is the inverse of what we would've expected. where we assumed qiao wanmian might be the ex-lover, still mourning after ten years of missing li xiangyi, the first thing we (and li lianhua) see is that she's happy with someone else. it comes to be more nuanced than that, but the first impression we get is that qiao wanmian has moved on. di feisheng's first moment he gets by himself, meanwhile, is him drinking his grief over li xiangyi's absence away. he has jinyuanmeng bowing to his feet and and a tremendous amount of power in the jianghu he could use against anyone, yet here is, seemingly, above many other things, lonely.

the next arc serves to reinforce this idea, that where qiao wanmian by normal genre conventions should be the one who couldn't get over li xiangyi, it's di feisheng who continues to cling onto his history with him instead. during the liansanjiao's trip to baichuanyuan and pudu temple, we see qiao wanmian trying to work through her lingering emotions about li xiangyi over and over, and eventually (thanks to li lianhua's intervention) achieves some kind of tenuous closure on that part of her past. all of we see of di feisheng, on the other hand, is him becoming increasingly obsessed with what he views as unresolved events, until he finally chokes li lianhua against a wall to interrogate him about it. mysterious lotus casebook swapped what might be more typical framing of these characters. qiao wanmian is not a sad figure waiting for her sweetheart to return, but someone who realizes she was more attached to what he represents than to him, and in finding him as a person manages to become friends in this new life of the present. di feisheng isn't someone who moves on from an existence measured against li xiangyi and finds a new way to define himself, but rather a person who wound up isolated and frozen in time for ten years after losing him, and still struggles to leave their relationship behind or allow it to evolve.

tl;dr the real jilted lover of li xiangyi by the choices of the story is di feisheng, not qiao wanmian

#hi i know i've said this before but I HAVE RECEIPTS NOW #this was gonna be a section of di feisheng gender meta but i've been keeping this to myself for months and needed to scream #some of y'all insist that the narrative rivalry over llh is qwm vs fdb but why would you pit two bad bitches against one another #when the real parallel/foil is qwm and dfs #mysterious lotus casebook #feihua #li xiangyi #qiao wanmian #di feisheng #mlc meta #ashton originals

every time i catch myself worrying about how much detail to put on an invoice, i think about jeff - rats and go my invoice is fine actually.

you would think "please include the name we need to make the payment out to as well as the address we need to send it to and the amount of the payment" would not be a big ask but here we are

#original #the only other thing that would be nice would be unique invoice numbers #that i can print on the check so i don't get a phone call that our payment was late bc you didn't know where to apply it #we've got one company that gives receipts for orders bought on credit and each receipt has an invoice number #which is ONLY visible on the monthly statement. there is no sign of an invoice number on the receipt. why. #what is DOES have is a receipt number which makes no appearance on the statement. or anywhere but the receipt. why.

TIRED NEW FRIENDS MADE YOUNG AGAIN

Sometimes I think that in a different world we would have grown up together. Imagine, now, that we were friends in kindergarten. And one day, I visited your house, and it turned out that you lived only a block away from me. Really think about it. If we had grown up building pillow forts and playing pretend and carving pumpkins on Halloween. Imagine that one day, one of us (doesn’t matter which one) confessed to the other that sometimes, we decide that one of our girl dolls is in love with our other girl doll. And now we both know that we do this, and it’s a secret. Neither of us know what lesbians are yet: the possibilities of plastic are endless, and not something we realize might fit into our own futures. Imagine if: You were there, when I was drawing on the sidewalk and slipped, and I skinned my elbow, and I bled & bled & bled and I still have the scar. You were there when I lost my first tooth, and instead of leaving it under my pillow I gave it to you. This is the sort of thing that lasts. You were there when I realized I had to give up. And you were there to make sure I rebuilt myself instead. And if I was there-? I don’t know. I love you. Tell me what you need and I’ll go back and fix it, okay? I’ll make it all better. I wish I’d known you sooner. I love you.

#my writing #this one was originally written on receipt paper at work. Love from me to anyone who reads this.

as garbage as civil war was, it really set up steves disillusionment with cap and his lack of need for the mantle, SHIELD, hell even the actual shield, leading into infinity war and endgame and that would have been the perfect time to focus on developing sams character as the new captain america for more than a three second scene instead of. groot fortnite dancing and taco bell or whatever

#i respect the path fatws took re sam processing the receipt of the shield and it’s implications for him etc #but i felt bad it had to be so rushed and crammed in around all the other plot involving the flag smashers walker bucky’s therapy #plus eli n isaiah AND his family stuff with sarah and the boys #basically what i’m saying is i just wanted all of that AND more starting earlier in the mcu #it should not have taken almost a decade to explore sams character im sorry! i love that he’s part of the next phase of the avengers #but the FALCON was part of the original phase too not that you’d know it from how they sidelined him :/ #i speak #captain america #steeb #sammich #sam wilson #steve rogers #anti endgame #anti mcu #anti endgame steve #sam!cap #avengers endgame #endgame #cacw #captain america civil war

Love the implication that if you have or ever had an issue with the constant homophobia of trans ideology, you’re automatically pro conservative and probably vote for them and you deserve any and all the homophobic laws potentially coming to you from them.

#no it doesn’t excuse anyone turning to the right but *you* are the one alienating the ones the lgbt was originally for…countless of them do #not know where to turn #even then gender criticism or simply being homosexual and therefore not agreeing w trans ideology does not automatically make someone a #conservative #gendie brainrot receipts #radfem safe #gender critical

Thoughts on why the main relationship in TGCF manages to be full of tropes that are trash-associated but is also deeply compelling:

There are SO MANY nuances of the complicated power dynamics and self-sacrifice in Hualian’s relationship that could’ve been cringily unhealthy at so many points and THEN they just WEREN’T. Not ever. Not once

Every time I revisit this novel, I remain so impressed with MXTX’s capacity for nuance. These two are so gone on each other. Hua Cheng literally worships Xie Lian like a god. They would commit atrocities for each other. There are literally characters in the novel who worry about the sheer, unconditional trust Xie Lian gives to Hua Cheng no matter how many secrets he has. In a lesser writer’s hands, this exact dynamic is unhealthy to the point of atrocity: one becoming an unmoored monster and the other both enabler and victim. The shadow of this dynamic is hinted at in the book 4 flashback but it is specifically not allowed to actually become that. Never do we see even a shade of that relationship slip into the book itself, because that’s not how it really is for these two, not even in the darkest flashback moments.

Many narratives in which this level of devotion is present, it would be accurate to call it blind devotion, which becomes uncomfortable for the sake of the follower and unhealthy for the development of their love interest, but here the devotion is so continuously and unfailingly anchored not in looking the other way (the damaging nature of doing so being one of the core themes of the novel) but is conversely about seeing clearly and understanding fully.

So when Hua Cheng does things like offering to take the plague sword and release the disease on Yong’an himself, it actually has the effect of letting Xie Lian see the effect these choices are having on himself more clearly. It was absolutely necessary that Wu Ming not say “let me do this because you want it done” but instead say “I would do this if you needed me to and you didn’t want to because I independently understand why you want this”, because then, refusing him is a real reflection for Xie Lian on himself. There is self-sacrificing devotion in the relationship, but only for the sake of their actual wellbeing, never just while following a blind desire to do what they say.

Like, Hua Cheng can refuse Xie Lian. That’s a pretty foundational thing that happened. He does refuse him things from the beginning, even in the most basic, relationship-defining things. Xie Lian asked him to forget him after the burning of his temples and he refused, and here we are now. It’s a devotion to each other’s wellbeing, that also manages to be so without either of them assuming they know better than the other what that person needs or wants. The only time Hua Cheng actively sacrifices himself (which Xie Lian definitely wouldn’t want if asked) it’s in pursuit of the goal/outcome that XL wanted/needed to happen.

There manages to be complete devotion to each other, and also deep respect for each other’s choices and judgement, and those things…. often don’t coexist in fiction. Like, Hua Cheng introduced nothing if not agency to Xie Lian’s life. In the grand majority of the side arcs, often the “twist” in the mystery we’re exploring is some variation on “was someone forced to do something? No, they had agency!” And whether what they did with it was bad is also very much up for debate. The backstories and current stories of our protags were often journeys in recognizing that they’re not absolved of personal responsibility for lack of easy options, and show them winning by choosing to wrest back agency instead, even to their own detriment. “Take the third path”, “no paths are bound” etc. are catchphrases of our main character for a reason. Sometimes the best option still ended in tragedy, but it didn’t compromise their integrity. I LOVE “no paths are bound” as a tagline for this book and a catchphrase for Xie Lian, because it ALSO ties the good things about the main relationship into the main themes of the book. Hua Cheng’s goal is not just to be able to protect, which he probably could have done as an ordinary super ghost, but to be powerful enough to put every single possibility on the table for Xie Lian. Hua Cheng needed to be the Most Powerful, because he decided that if Xie Lian wants to do something, Hua Cheng needs to be strong enough to make it happen, needs to make it so that that every option, every path, is always under serious consideration. He literally made it so that any roll of the dice was an equally good outcome (Which is the best rationale for designing an OP character I’ve ever heard in my life). He’s not preventing danger, but instead increasing his agency in the face of it. Essentially “If what you end up choosing is MORE DANGER then I’ll be unhappy about it but I won’t stop you, I will work to make that path walkable too. I’m not here to keep you on a path, I’m here to open and smooth the one you most want to use.”

And, moreover, both people are able to be insanely cool and insanely powerful and be looked up to by the other, because while the power dynamics between them, perceived or real, could’ve been uncomfortable at many points, they WEREN’T. The people involved are on even footing even when they think they’re not. There was never a time when their presence wasn’t good for each other, even before Xie Lian knew to pay attention. Even in Hua Cheng’s very earliest appearances in the book 2 flashbacks, it’s really notable that he had enough effect on Xie Lian and his well-being that he appears multiple times in Xie Lian’s memory of those events, even though he had no idea who he was, or even that all his appearances were the same person.

MXTX really seems to grasp what’s attractive about these protective/super-powerful-boyfriend dynamics in fiction, why they often go badly wrong/make fiction bad rep of healthy relationships, and then SHOWS THEM IN THEIR HEALTHY FUNCTIONAL FORM INSTEAD so we’re free to love what we love about them. At the end of the day, we’re shown the way the best of these things all ideally point to love and concern for the other person as they are, before any considerations of their role in your own life or what they do for you. BUT with the expectation of reciprocal respect and latitude to do what you need to do as well.

I’ve never seen another story do this quite so well with such so-often-abused tropes and dynamics, and it’s one of the reasons that the romance in particular makes this work so near and dear to me.

It kinda reaffirmed my ability to see these things I naturally love seeing in love stories as healthy, reasonable forms of affection and devotion when based in an actual healthy relationship. When much, much fiction that treats similar dynamics badly makes me want to feel bad for enjoying aspects of them.

So seeing THIS relationship be what it is was a validating, freeing, and clarifying experience.It basically explained for me why I like these things, and elucidated why, for me, they fit into my paradigm of ideal romance and devotion, even (especially) when they can be problematic if treated wrong.

In essence, seeing these tropes done well is also an exercise in seeing what was missing in cases where they were damagingly removed from context, and thus understanding their key aspects and the core behind their impact. This book actually literally kinda reframed the way I conceptualize romance by helping me put together how many of the tropes I love in romances actually fit into an ideal relationship.

A spring cleaning of my thoughts if you will.

An ordering of my conceptions.

And I bonded with it deeply for that.

And yet it is also trash, who would’ve thought.

(it is self-aware, culture-savvy, meta-commentary trash for the most part, that clearly leans into it with fond intention, so I really do not mind it. It manages to be genre bending while expressing only love for its own genre and why it is the way it is. No disdain here. Only love for things as they are.)

Every time people say trans and nonbinary didn't exist five years ago I think of these comics I made in 2007 and feel so fucking gaslit I'm gonna morb.

A friend later, around 2011-2012 said "my comics talked about gender before it was cool"

If the language is weird, again: it was 2007
