Mu Qing - Blog Posts
Forgot about my Mu Qing obsession for a hot minute, glad the donghua team was COMITTED to ensuring I‘ll never do that again
Just watched the tgcf short film and I am happy to report that censorship is, in fact, dead
How Mu Qing gained a harem in Chaotic Minds - a TGCF Chat Crack Fic
Xie Lian simping over Mu Qing as a woman. As he should tbh
Mu Qing: pretty men like His Highness -
Xie Lian: *neuron activated* he called me pretty!!!!
Hua Cheng kissed Mu Qing. Mainly to save his life but.... huaqing for the win
Nah. Nah I don't gotta explain this. Huaqing for the WIN
Feng Xin stole Mu Qing's first kiss back in Xianle before the whole war started. He holds that over the other two for the rest of their lives.
Xie Lian finally kisses Mu Qing. It took him 800 years but he did it.
One down 🫵 two to go. Mandarin Ducks represent marital happiness and fidelity, so in all technicalities, Feng Xin was 'proposing' to Mu Qing ☺️
Xie Lian FINALLY gets to date Mu Qing. He wins in life.
Last and not least, Hua Cheng joins Mu Qing harem.
Now. HuaLian IS in this fic 🫵 But. Xianle Quartet is the MAIN SHIP..... because I wanna pamper Mu Qing he deserves the world.
Anyways enjoy.
out of all of the genres tgcf could belong to
i always first think of it as a romantic comedy
I find it hilarious how in tgcf book 8, FengQing’s opinion of Hualian does a complete 180 turnaround from the cave of ten thousand gods, not because they like Hua Cheng any better but because Xie Lian is having the gayest moment of his life.
Straight up went from “Xie Lian don’t go near him he’s a psycho stalker!” to “somebody get this man his husband or he’s going to burn this entire world to the ground with us in it”
This is breathtakingly beautiful, the backgrounds are perfection, everyone is right at home and they’re all happy 🥺😭
last one for now, I was hoping to get 4 posters done total for AB but I've got work to do so the final one is on the shelf until I get more free time 😩
also this one was cute in my head but jeSUS MY HAND IS DEAD why did I decide to draw a show where everyone's wearing 4+ robes 🙃
Tgcf book 5 is so funny to me because everyone is like “we have to keep this on the down low, we can’t let the ghosts know there’s a heavenly official infiltrating Mount Tonglu” and then everyone and their mother shows up for one reason or another and everyone is just like “yeah, this is fine”
Xie Lian can thank his lucky stars (ironically) that Mu Qing didn’t wake up cause he would’ve murdered him on the spot (and then Hua Cheng would have subsequently murdered Mu Qing for hurting his hubby)
Whoops
All Fun and Games until Someone dies
CW: one suggestive joke, mentions of a weapon
Using his last magnifying glass for this round, he takes a real close look at his next shot. …Red may be his favourite colour, but in this instance it´s just about the most dreadful thing he could be confronted with.
Even so, the decision is easy to make: No matter what, the man knew he would ensure his beloved to make it out alive of this one. He had just hoped to get a blue instead, if only to never even hold something that could potentially hurt his gege. He readjusts the gun and stares down the dark barrel, ready to shoot his brains out.
A worried, desperate voice: “San Lang, wait! Don´t do that!” He gazes at the other but keeps the gun where it is.
Trying to convince him otherwise, the brunet continuous: “You´ve come so far; don´t let this hinder you! Just shoot me and this can finally end…!”
He looks at their displays: Both only have one single arrow left. Then again, even if gege had had all of his still, Hua Cheng´s decision would remain the same.
“Gege, please let me be selfish.” “BUT I WANT TO BE SELFISH TOO AND NOT LOSE SAN LANG!” The declaration leaves both of them breathless for different reasons. Heaving, Xie Lian murmurs: “Don´t take him from me…please…!”
He smiles despite himself. It´s a saddened but sincere smile. “I´m sorry, gege.”
He shoots.
“SAN LANG!!!”
A case full of cold, hard cash is lowered in front of a silent Xie Lian, who does not even pay attention to the cursed thing. – They are his empty winnings, his unwanted reward.
A few seconds of terrible quietness reign supreme when-
“Fuck, you screamed loud! Is your throat okay?” Feng Qing asks over Discord, his profile picture flashing with the sound of his voice.
He receives no answer from the brunet.
“Hey, man, you there?” He asks less aggravated this time. Xie Lian´s profile picture of his boyfriend holding his pet snake Ruoye remains dark with a lack of response.
Then suddenly, Hua Cheng´s mic picks something up: His bedroom door opening and someone coming in. It must be Xie Lian, since these two live together.
“Gege? You´re eyes are red…Oh no, was this game to much?” Discord´s background noise cancelling function erases the responding hum from perception but knowing their friend, both Mu Qing and Feng Xin can guess as much.
“Want a hug, gege?”
Rustling follows.
“Oh? I never mentioned my lap, but I certainly don´t mind ;)” The black-haired man teases and his two biggest haters (besides maybe the man´s precious roommate who always vaguely smelled of fish) want to gag.
Now closer to the mic, they can hear the brunet talk: “I don´t like this game…It makes you shoot your friends and loved ones.” “Hah?! What do you sound so remorseful over?! You had no problem shooting us earlier!” Mu Qing complains. “You shot San Lang first.” He states very seriously, as if this wasn´t the entire idea behind the game in the first place, and that´s when Mu Qing gives up. – Fools! Fools in love! They should fuck each other instead of fucking with him when he has better things to do (He does not. He has no friends outside of those present.)!
Mu Qing goes offline; with a shout of “Wait up, prick!” Feng Xin does too.
This decision spares them the embarrassment of having to listen to a couple being all lovey-dovey over Discord for the next thirty minutes because they forgot to mute themselves.
Tgcf Fic I wish existed/promt???
!Spoiler warning!
So, pretty much, somehow, someway, after the events of cannon (minus the year that Xie Lian waited) Hualian kick the bucket, don't ask me to explain why. Its ideally after they win the fight against Jun Wu.
Obviously thing one (Feng Xin) and Thing two (Mu Qing) are distraught but years go by and the pain dulls. Oddly enough people do pray to hualian statues, usually asking for love, despite it being known that they are gone. Well, no big deal, mortals are weird.
Anyway, one day Mu Qing gets a few prayers about some ghost in a small town. Usually Feng Xin would be with him but the man likes to keep himself busy during this time (the anniversary). By the time he gets there some local cultivator had already worked things out. Peacefully too, hoe odd. So Mu Qing decides to investigate, perhaps someone destined to ascend.
He some how finds himself at a temple to Hualian, yay... though, there is the cultivator he was looking for. It's a young woman (probably a good thing Feng Xin didn't go) in peach colored robes. She didn't look anything special, her tanned skin indicated that she probably helped out in the fields. She has kind eyes.
What was she doing at that temple though? Praying for love? Maybe not praying but love was definitely a cause. Their was another young woman (oh God, another one) who tended to the shrine. She was probably about a year younger then the cultivator. She wore dark pink robes, almost red and her hair was on a lopsided ponytail.
Anyone could tell by the way they looked at each other... and... wait, Mu Qing recognized the cultivator's smile and the foxish smirk from the other
Oh
Mu Qing thought that gods did reincarnate. That's what everyone knew... but...
His Highness... Her Highness? Looked happy andsodidthatannoyinglittlebratturmedsupreme
Maybe it was best to let them have their peace...
Mu Qing returned back to heaven, something in his chest feeling lighter

using this as an opportunity to say that the hatred can be resolved SO easily because mu qing does not deserve most of the shit he gets. my boy tries so hard to be perfect and is almost always misunderstood i'm :((((( the fact that he only ever wanted hua cheng to stay alive because he KNEW the conditions hua cheng came from but couldn't bear to see him die because somewhere in there he saw his own past. jealousy didn't even cross his mind. the fact that he always, ALWAYS, admired xie lian to the point of doing anything for him, even when he thought xie lian hated him. he only left xie lian because of sheer desperation, and even then he hesitated. he came back. never once while reading tgcf did i get the impression that he was anything short of grateful to xie lian which makes him a better person than i would be if i had to consistently chalk up my achievements to someone who "allowed me to cultivate" (love you xie lian but just. no.)
the two solid reasons hua cheng hates him have a basis in misconceptions and it really fucks with my brain.
hualian is great but huaqing. ohhhh huaqing. two bastards with equally sharp tongues who will give as good as they get. but also if you dig a little deeper into their mutual dislike it's like. oh fuck they're so similar that it's easier for them to "hate" each other than admit the deeply ingrained insecurities they have.
i like the whole devoted aspect of hualian but if you shift canon a little and make it so that mu qing is the one who caught hong-er you get to see hua cheng watch someone who was born into the same situations as him, who was consistently ridiculed and treated as inferior, grow to be a fiercely powerful and loyal individual. it's not just god x devotee anymore, you've given it a raw humanizing aspect because mu qing CLAWED his way to where he is, and so did hua cheng.
even without changing canon you can see that hua cheng went down the path of surviving because gege became his reason FOR living, but mu qing has always been willing to keep himself and others afloat even as they kick and scream and beg to drown.
there's just this desperation mu qing carries in everything he does and to see that blend with hua cheng's uncaring or even disdainful attitude towards others is something that i think would be beautiful. like they balance out each other's most hidden and scarred parts so easily.
they're so similar yet so different it's like they're dancing around each other oh my fucking god i just. the parallels and possibilities huaqing has make me violently ill.

It's night
I have no idea how to draw hanging sleeves
And I don't understand what's going on at all 😭😭😭
Since I lacked practice so much, I decided to redraw the shots with the characters. Yes, there is a little bit of headcanon.
I haven't read all of the books yet either but I agree with you that Mu Qing doesn't deserve the hate that he gets. But he also gets a lot of love, people are just quieter about it.
No, what they went through is not comparable. They both suffered in different ways, and neither character is 100% perfect. That's how the author writes.
I'm sorry people are being so rude to you.
It's okay, i'm not in the fandom (obviously since i haven't read the books) but i am around it ig since i really like svsss, what i see is usually very 50/50 either people that love him or people that say weirdly hateful classist stuff about him, and it's quite interesting honestly, even Shen Jiu (one of) the villain of svsss is extremely loved and he is a whole child abuser 💀 i guess it's interesting to see how polarizing people's opinions of him are
Me: The Tgcf fandom is weirdly classist against Mu Qing, he doesn't owe Xie Lian eternal servitude
You people for some reason:
hii well personally I don't think mq leaving xl was a problem, the issues come after the whole mountain ordeal imo. He could have simply not been an asshole and gang up against xl with the other heavenly officials! Also I hadn't considered this before but. I do think xl having to live in poverty for 8 whole centuries is worse than whatever mq went through! I suggest reading the novel instead of posting shit takes like a retard ^_^
Tcgf fans when you think being classist to Mu Qing is weird:
You might want to learn how to read because living in poverty for however long and everything xie lian went through can both be bad. Are they comparable? No but i didn't compare them, you did.
Yeah of course 20 years in poverty are just as bad as 800 years lived in the literal street lmao. I'm guessing you've never been homeless 💀
I'm starting to think the reading comprehension of Tumblr users is 0 because i said "they are both bad" which is true. Now do you want to keep being rude or can you kindly get off my page?
Personally, I'm not blaming Mu Qing because he left his friends to take care of his mother. The issue is the way he left. There is nothing to do with him being poor whatsoever.. You can take care of your mother and check on your friend once in a while... I don't know, just saying... Anyway, what's done is done. You don't know how you'll react yourself until you're faced with the situation. And since he's very bad at communicating and expressing his feelings, it makes things worse
To be honest i don't care if someone doesn't reach out because they are taking care of their dying mother
