final~heaven
[tgcf] novel spoilers (ch. 200 - to the end)
final~heaven
xie lian is using "hand seals" to move his giant divine statue and all I can imagine is him doing the Naruto ninja seals.
kikibug13
kikibug13
it's a naruto-gundam moment tbh
final~heaven
this novel is really wildin'
kikibug13
Yeeep
kikibug13
how are you doing after the book 4 knives
final~heaven
I'm alright. I kind of knew going in that things get bad. I sort of knew how ruoye came to be but that didn't really prepare me.
kikibug13
yeeeah
final~heaven
also I love that I'm able to pinpoint hua hua whenever he appears no matter his form.
kikibug13
and also with the little ghost light it explains SO MUCH about hua cheng
final~heaven
like yeah, that's my twink
kikibug13
yes
kikibug13
he's a tol twink but yeep
final~heaven
puberty really hit him hard
kikibug13
everything hit him really hard at that time
kikibug13
up to and including death but who slows down for that
kikibug13
ooh and you'll get more details about him soon too
kikibug13
beyond his arts and crafts project
final~heaven
oooh exciting
final~heaven
he and shi qingxuan are my absolute favs btw. I'm used to being attached to the mains but shi shi really came in here and ended my life.
kikibug13
windy is good
final~heaven
I think his arc has been the most devastating for me. rip xie lian and his suffering.
final~heaven
but it's probably because I went into that arc with no expectations.
kikibug13
124 (the number of the chapter where it all comes to a boil) is ... yeah
kikibug13
that's sort of the tgcf 'yi city'
kikibug13
that author really loves to leave her secondary characters dead or in pain
final~heaven
which is probably why I attach myself to mains lmao
kikibug13
I mean not that they don't get stabbed a hundred times ...
kikibug13
or get torn to shreds by their own ghosts...
final~heaven
they get happy endings and a lifeful of trauma but hey
kikibug13
anyway yeah. This book is wild.
final~heaven
xie lian's absolute suppression of past trauma is such a mood.
final~heaven
oh! but this chapter also has me worried about the live action drama because it's going to need budget to make this work. the untamed special effects will not cut it. but maybe they'll do something else because mecha statue is...a lot.
final~heaven
it'll look super cool animated tho
kikibug13
we'll have to wait and see
kikibug13
there is a lot to worry about in the la
final~heaven
yeah. I'm remaining hopeful though.
final~heaven
but if nothing else I think the first season of the donghua killed it.
kikibug13
it did
kikibug13
it also made my tiny ship so good
final~heaven
which ship?
kikibug13
ban yue and pei su
final~heaven
they're very cute
final~heaven
I was really glad to see them come back into the story later on.
final~heaven
but poor pei su and his human body
kikibug13
he got it better than xie lian
final~heaven
yeah but xie lian is such a beast at this point that nothing can take him down. he's used to being uncomfortable, and without spiritual power and he's still going.
final~heaven
pei su went down after a bowl of xie lian's cooking lmao
final~heaven
WHICH according to my reading comprehension he used to be able to cook fine. now he's an utter disaster just taking after his mom's level of cooking and it gives me emotions.
kikibug13
oh I meant when xl was first cast down aka circa beginning of book 4
final~heaven
the first time she named a dish I was like "oh no".
kikibug13
and yep. he cooks like this for her
final~heaven
oh yeah. for sure.
final~heaven
I'm just realizing how close I am to the end. I'm not ready.
final~heaven
....we're fighting mountains now.
kikibug13
gundam
final~heaven
the image in my head of hua cheng being chased down by three pissed off mountains.
final~heaven
guoshi I know you're in there. come out. I just want to talk.
kikibug13
hehe
final~heaven
please don't confuse my son qi ying for qi rong, yin yu. also why do you have them in the same pocket??
final~heaven
it's hilarious that he ended up being the carrier of the darumas
final~heaven
mu qing and feng xin needing to be separated to make the sword. they are both in a constant state of needing an adult. xie lian is the adult.
final~heaven
this is why hua cheng can't take ya'll seriously. lmao
final~heaven
boo white no face boo. how dare you break the giant statue.
kikibug13
oh man the white no face reveal is coming soon, feel free to yell
final~heaven
I would like to sue the author for damages done to my son wind master who has never done a thing wrong in his life.
final~heaven
guoshi really rolled up, tried to strangle XL and insulted shi shi's name. he's going to catch these hands.
kikibug13
windy is too good and really did not deserve any of this shit
final~heaven
....i knew jun wu was sus.
final~heaven
like I kinda suspected he would be a problem, being the big god he is. young XL was a bit radical with his "gods shouldn't be bowed to" etc. beliefs. my first reaction was probably the big papa god would want to put him in his place.
final~heaven
HC and me: oh the emperor is evil? it's cool we don't like him anyways. lmao
kikibug13
remember when xie lian and 'san lang' first met on the fox cart
kikibug13
and xie lian asked about jun wu
kikibug13
san lang was. Weeeelll he must dislike the crown prince of xian le a great deal
kikibug13
Hua Cheng knew
final~heaven
I mean that's not surprising. XL is too close to JW/the situation to have even suspected him.
kikibug13
yea
final~heaven
but HC also doesn't like anyone who isn't XL so it's not like he's bothered either way. lmao
kikibug13
/balancing motion
He does... not like anyone nearly as much, but he is also a good lord of ghost city and sheltering people who need to hide and be at peace...
kikibug13
the dislike for jun wu was very specific
kikibug13
... then again. He was there helping out when white no-face was making xie lian go down the dark path, he Knows.
final~heaven
aw poor yin yu
final~heaven
he drove me crazy but he didn't deserve that
kikibug13
yeeep
kikibug13
212 is like. the surprise knife you did not expect
final~heaven
and jun wu being the pettiest bitch in the land because of one thing a teenage boy said one time is confirmed.
final~heaven
it's so wild lmao
final~heaven
guoshi you've now insulted the existence of my son to his face twice now. I'd quit speaking now if I was you.
final~heaven
honestly I live for these moments where HC can reveal himself dramatically and unload his grievance. first mu qing, now guoshi. "bet you thought you'd seen the last of me" power moves.
final~heaven
you're doing great sweetie
final~heaven
who let qi rong in
final~heaven
poor pei ming. he never gets to rest with all the crazy ghosts that want to kill him.
final~heaven
"he owes me money. fight as you will." lmaooo
final~heaven
you kind of deserve this he xuan. after all your shenanigans.
kikibug13
he xuan and hua cheng's dynamic, man
final~heaven
I love them.
final~heaven
they're the only ghost kings who have rights
kikibug13
yup
kikibug13
hua cheng has very few characters he has interesting dynamics with, other than his highness
hu xuan. yin yu. ghost city population but that's different
kikibug13
so I take what precious little there is
final~heaven
qi ying: jumping on a bone dragon and using it to hold squeeze the life out of jun wu's mecha martial hall.
final~heaven
me: https://images.plurk.com/7CMioyxyhDjwr411NguTW7.jpg
final~heaven
it doesn't last but at least he tried
final~heaven
i'm dying over rong guang being so full of himself because he got pei ming to apologize to him. rofl
final~heaven
when will pei ming rest
kikibug13
pei ming started out as insufferable and then by this point it's like. He's just a jock, he's not that bad
final~heaven
he turned out to be the least shady of his trio. lol
kikibug13
yep
kikibug13
and he ships hualian
final~heaven
everyone else freaks out over them kissing
final~heaven
pei ming is just like where's my camera
kikibug13
lmao
xie lian: /kisses hua cheng's forhead
pei ming: ... his lips are not there
final~heaven
mu qing and feng xin really be serving the quality peanut gallery reactions
final~heaven
HC hugs XL
final~heaven
FX: really?? in front of my salad???
final~heaven
jiang cheng is quaking
final~heaven
also XL beginning to channel Wind Master with his awkward laughing is sending me.
final~heaven
I'm like Mu Qing is definitely shady but the fact that everyone always believes he's up to something without ever proving it makes me just believe he's gotten used to never explaining himself because people assume the worst anyways.
final~heaven
which makes him dramatic but not wrong
final~heaven
and by people I mean feng xin
final~heaven
he stays blaming mu qing for everything.
final~heaven
mu qing and I will never forgive/forget that earring? gem? pearl? thing. I don't even remember what it is all I know is it's HC's fav hair accessory now.
final~heaven
I still laugh at how quickly MQ clocked it after 800 years.
final~heaven
"...this hand isn't extended too late, right?"
final~heaven
I'm fine
final~heaven
e'ming being ready to fuck shit up as soon as he sees XL is such a mood. what a good boy.
final~heaven
lmao pei king being so bothered that rain master saved him. get over it dude. nobody cares but you.
kikibug13
he's still a jock
final~heaven
kikiiiii I finished the main story.
final~heaven
still have the extras but that'll be for another day because I'm having feelingsss
final~heaven
that last chapter was so cute.
final~heaven
love that the villagers used the gold to rebuild XL's temple.
kikibug13
I know
final~heaven
even if they can't design well lmao
kikibug13
I should dig up the meltsmeltsmelts cinematics
kikibug13
hehehe
kikibug13
dianxia, trust in me
kikibug13
I'm. xie lian changed so much between end up book 2 and the finale
final~heaven
he did. he had to grow up and shed his naivete. he really went through it but I'm glad he was able to hang onto his humanity. his belief in people. even if white no face was constantly there to screw it all up.
final~heaven
low key some of my favorite moments are jyst XL absolutely losing it and cursing WNF out.
final~heaven
king
kikibug13
yes
kikibug13
it took me a moment because I was following with the tl so a lot of the fandom back then knew cn so it was bwx (bai wu xian) as abbreviation for white no face
final~heaven
ah yeah I've seen that to but I forget the abbreviation sometimes.
kikibug13
*xiang
final~heaven
also he xuan blowing in just to eat all the soup and peace out. glorious.
final~heaven
but this is why he will never get out of debt to HC
kikibug13
it's not like he's trying to get out of debt
final~heaven
I mean I guess he must like having to do HC and XL favors then. as long as there's food.
final~heaven
I still can't get over him taking on HC's form and smacking Shi-shi to transfer spiritual energy, tossing him his newly made fan and then peacing out like nothing.
final~heaven
I need more then that after the emotional distress I've been put through.
kikibug13
I just. Him giving shi qingxuan the fan (instead of using it himself) was the reason I can ship them. I spent the entire tl staring blankly at people shipping them and THAT moment I went 'ah. They CAN be built up with some work'
final~heaven
yeah I mean it was a bit touch and go for me. but since I knew the ship was popular I was hoping that maybe there was some reconciliation of a sorts since I really liked their friendship. and him making the effort to fix the fan really does say something.
final~heaven
but they definitely need couple's therapy
final~heaven
shi qingxuan especially has things he needs to work through.
kikibug13
he xuan needs to do some making up because he sure ... messed up
kikibug13
shi qingxuan always tried to do his best and T_T augh
final~heaven
yeah he clearly had a dark period of his own considering....what his recklessness caused i.e. his injuries. but the fact that he's right back to his positive self and wanting to help XL once they meet up again makes me feel like he's going to be okay.
final~heaven
he has really positive energy
kikibug13
he's a good boy T_T
kikibug13
or girl
