got to the part in my yi city rewatch where xxc saves xy and i am wholeheartedly, in all my xuexiao shipping, shouting DON'T SAVE HIM YOU FOOL JUST WALK AWAY LEAVE HIM TO DIE IT'S WHAT HE DESERVES

remember when sjy said that xxc would save xy again even if he got to redo yi city, remember that?? GOD DAMN YOU AND YOUR MORALITY XXC

xxc knew in about 2 mins that a-qing wasn't really blind lbr

xy: whaaaaaat is haaaappeniiiing…………

xy: more like fate and i'm not leaving u

wwx called xy out on knowing how to act like he has empathy and feelings, that he wouldn't have suspected xy!xxc wasn't actually who he said he was had they not fought before, and oof xy really does sell that, even to a blind person

bros we're back where we started
XUE YANG PRETTY

tbh coffin city is both literal and appropriate bc once you're trapped in the same space with the emotional equivalent of a starving mountain lion you're fucking dead already

venomous spider is probably more appropriate but eh

beautiful but so dangerous

the way he just drops details on both aq and xxc? he could lie? but he chooses not to. huh.

HE MAKES XIAO XINGCHEN LAUGH

jesus fucking christ fuck xue yang honestly

i am Once Again thinking about laz's fic on yi city as seen by an outsider and I AM HORRIFIED AGAIN https://twitter.com/p_morguean/status/1265348398535802886?s=20

three years of domestic bliss. t h r e e.

oh isn't that a fun parallel for estranged bfs to have

sl, the mysophobe, grabs the arm of a (probably pretty dusty) stranger bc he finally has hope of seeing xxc again

xxc's eyes are looking beautiful in his face

i'm sorry sl this is why xxc fucked xy not you

man is given hope, man sees he's about to enter a place called COFFIN CITY, man's hand shakes, man loses all hope again

sl…very hot when he angry.

also i like to think he closed his eyes so tightly so xxc's eyes wouldn't have to see xxc and xy being Like That

SCREAMING xy sounds like an inconvenienced spouse "song-daozhang u should've said u were coming i'd have had the hubby put on a roast for u"

i'm sorry did u come here to RUIN our domestic bliss? i don't think so

but. he's not saying no to a threesome based on this lipbite

oh my fucking god I FORGOT HE FUCKING SHITS ON SL'S SHITTY CURSING

au where xy teaches sl to swear GO!!!

sorry sl he's got u there

so xy knows exactly what happened at baixue temple and what sl said to him and while there's a good chance he was just hanging around witnessing the fruits of his labor and all, i'm going to believe that somewhere in those 3 years xxc told xy all about it bc he trusted him

when they meet xxc doesn't ask xy what happened to him, why he was bloody and beaten bc he, too, had things he didn't want to talk about. but that doesn't mean he doesn't get to a point where he DOES want to tell xy about it? am i imagining it as a post-coital conversation? yes.

xxc crying bloody tears on xy's chest as he confesses the things sl said to him, how guilty he felt about having caused the massacre of his temple while xy tries not to laugh bc truly, TRULY, this is the sweetest revenge he's ever tasted

christ sl you were so so unmatched here

[yelling at the top of my lungs] XUE YANG IS DIABOLICAL AND YI CITY IS SO. FUCKED. UP.

interlude to say xue yang sexy

me watching this showdown

can't believe i genuinely screamed and paused when xxc came flying out and stabbed sl LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS COMING. OH MY GOD.

hmm tell me more about how xy is so numb he doesn't even react to pain. not like he reacted when sl cut his cheek either, so. like lol u ever think about how much pain he can take?

literally if xy didn't so desperately need wwx to help him fix xxc's soul he could've gotten away from this unscathed bc it's his home turf and he is so much smarter and craftier and more powerful than lwj wwx and wn combined??
but what does anything matter without xxc anymore

even losing his arm didn't really hurt him BUT when su she didn't manage to teleport him away? ho boi that face looks like fear there bro

just. thinking about how su she grabs the yin iron from xy so one of the very last things to happen to xy before he dies is having his usefulness depleted and being cast aside bc they're sure not gonna try to save him again, they already got the yin iron
