For context, before anything else, I myself am a lesbian.
Alright. So I don't quite know how to explain it, but Hualian really just has lesbian vibes. At least to me.
Being a lesbian is a lot of:
"You girls must be such good friends!"
"Do your boyfriends know you're here?"
"How come I never see you two apart?"
"Haha, two girls kissing? They must be best friends."
And look. Listen.
Hualian is constantly having people be like "You two must be such great friends!" from most of the other heavenly officials (until later on).
Xie Lian and San Lang at Puqi Village getting the "where's your wives?" every .5 seconds.
Xie Lian is constantly asked/talked about with "where's YOUR crimson rain sought flower?" or "If you are here, Crimson Rain is not far behind".
THEY KISS SO MUCH AND MOSTLY GET LOUDLY TOLD "there's other ways to exchange spiritual power!"
Also, there's something inherently powerful about a queer couple.
Being queer creates a space outside the norm. That unites us so much.
And it just feels like Hualian are the most lesbian-coded gay man couple I have seen in a long, long time.
i have been in this fandom for nearly 3 years and i only today realized that switchs color schemes are likely inspired by the day cycle thanks to the new album songs
MORNING: yellow eyes like the sun, red hair like the morning sky
DAY: yellow hair like the sun, blue eyes like the day sky
NIGHT: yellow eyes like the stars, blue hair like the night sky
for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of
also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut
the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)
🧘🏾♀️ for a screenshot associated with meditation or calm
"You know... I wasn't wholly serious. You don't actually have to meditate facing the sunset for any of this. We can do this anywhere."
"Shush. Meditating. Like you said I should."
"...gods, you're such a dork. I missed you, Ellie."
"...Missed you too, Lyse."
It didn't work out for them during the war of liberation, and Ellie's perfectly happy with her partners in the present day. But it'd be a lie to say she doesn't still deeply care for Lyse, and she's glad it's reciprocal and their connection remains close. And she still treasures getting to spend time with her as she learns how to throw a punch; there's no better mentor in the discipline for her, she's fair certain.
I'm listening to the masterful audio and every incarnation of master being appalled by how missy acts? they are afraid of her because she slays too hard. and jealous because they can't serve cunt as much as she can. they all met and were having a cunt-off and she came and won by simply appearing. and delgado!master wasn't there so she had no worthy opponent
shaking in anger i was posting nana earlier and wanted to caption it “can you imagine people denying they’re in love” BUT THEN I was like no that’s pretty much impossible. like it’s genuinely impossible to miss the mark on their love when all they talk about is “I feel like a teenage boy experiencing love for the first time” and all they obsess over is each other not to mention all the love songs, I digress, so, i’m over here thinking there’s NO WAY. no way people can be that stupid and as i’m scrolling now 2 hours later, i stumble across a nana post where people are deadass having deep discussions on how “they are platonic..but it’s open for interpretation” “huh, i didn’t see them as lesbians? i’m lesbian myself” WHAT? WHAT. then there’s like 50 upvotes and likes and not ONE person disagreeing? truly honestly genuinely holy fkn god give these people a brain. this isn’t even a discussion to be held. do these people watch nana with their eyes and ears closed idk
