I could write a fairly long list of reasons why Pei Ming SucksTM, but still I cannot help but feel a little bad for the guy.

Despite all of his bullshit, he has always managed to preserve some semblance of a moral code, and he never really crossed the line... Meanwhile, all the people he is close with? Out there committing the Most Atrocities Ever!

Like...

Rong Guang: Bro what if we, ahah, what if we usurped the throne and put you in charge?? Pei Ming: ... Bro what the fuck??? Xuan Ji: Beloved, I will betray my country for you!! Here's all of our secret strategies and plans!! Pei Ming: ??? No thanks! Pei Xiu: I may have been killing random humans for centuries to save my ghost lover... Pei Ming: Junior!! I believed in you!!! Shi Wudu: That's just humans. I actually stole the Fate of a future god and exchanged it with my brother's, ashtag #NoRegrets Pei Ming: ....... What the fuck is wrong with everybody??? Is it just me and Ling Wen now????? Ling Wen: ... Pei Ming: ....... please don't tell me Ling Wen: So remember that Very Cursed object we have in storage? Pei Ming: For Fuck's Sake

Mingguang vs. Xuan Su

Mingguang propaganda:

Let's make some noise for Mingguang!

This sword is SO gay. It's named after the shipname of its wielder and his "best friend" because they were so close. When said wielder was betrayed by his king, he broke Mingguang rather than his principles, and ascended to godhod. Mingguang is understandably salty about this even about 800 years later, and has joined up with the jealous vengeful spirit of that former best friend to take its wielder down. Power move or what? (@thecrimsonrainthatseekstheflower)

Xuan Su propaganda:

Xuan Su means "Dark and solemn". Yue Qingyuan's sword, vitality important to his backstory. Its so strong that few cultivators can even stand when he pulls it out, even by a sliver. It drain's yqy's lifeforce in exchange for incredible amounts of power! It wasn't even drawn fully during the sealing of Tianlang-jun, and was instrumental to his defeat. Even pidw Bingge couldn't defeat him one-on-one!

i haven't been able to get 'Xuan Su is YQY's erectile dysfunction' out of my head for multiple days and I have one thing to say about it: it's SO funny, please let Xuan Su win so that this extremely powerful, OP, life ending sword can instead be known as YQY's limp dick. (submitted by @valiantbarnes)

Xuan Su is quite possibly the strongest sword on this list. It is so powerful that when Yue Qingyuan first got it, he was forced (via many broken bones) into secluded meditation in a cave for YEARS to prevent a deadly qi deviation, preventing him from saving Shen Jiu, destroying their relationship. And even once YQY grew to be the most powerful cultivator in the world (Bingge couldn't even kill him without an ambush) he still couldn't draw it without it sapping years off of his life every time. YQY had to carry two swords for his entire life because his first sword could and would kill him if given the chance.

Also, in PIDW, after Bingge killed YQY and Xuan Su shattered, Bingge used the shards to taunt Shen Qingqiu and SQQ swallows the shards to kill himself. Imagine swallowing the shards of a sword that belonged to your beloved childhood friend turned kind-of boss who missed you so much even when you were right there and for whom you feel so much bitterness and longing and yet cared for so much that news of his death is the only thing that could have broken you, even after years of horrific torture. The drama of that alone should win it some points, I think. (submitted by @slythavakna)

Pei Ming Week Day 4: Sacrifice

Today I give you 3 drabbles because I went from having no ideas to multiple ideas! xD

Huge thank you to @kefis for the prompts @ococor for cheerleading <3

The first two are sort of related, the last one is not

I.

“I still say we should be helping Xianle,” Pei Ming grumbles. “This is disgraceful.” “Yong’an is the practical choice,” Rong Guang replies. “Xianle’s fall is a given. May as well farm goodwill with the future king.” Xianle has their prince, Pei Ming wants to retort, but the words taste like bile. Once again, his mind is dragged to Yushi, to the beloved queen that won her kingdom a scant few months. Already they don’t speak of her. Is Xianle’s god-pleasing prince doomed to the same fate? Rong Guang pats his shoulder. “There’s nothing praiseworthy about self-sacrifice. You should remember that.”

II.

“For his Highness,” the scrawny excuse of a soldier mutters as he swings his splintered practice sword. So young, head wrapped in bandages, a sword slipping from his grip, and still ready to sacrifice everything for some prince. There are many things Pei Ming wants to say to him. Dozens of scoldings, criticisms of his priorities – “Hey,” he called out despite himself. “Your sword grip is wrong.” Pei Ming gives some pointers and leaves, saluting the soldier in his heart. He doesn’t know why he’s bothering. This child won’t survive the battlefield anyway. His prince will never know his sacrifice.

III.

“How could you do this?” Pei Ming shouts. “This is your future – your divinity! How could you just throw it all away? And for a girl!” Pei Xiu forehead smacks against the ground.  “I have no regrets, General,” he pleads, voice quivering with emotion unfelt in two hundred years. “She sacrificed everything for my ambitions. She never deserved her fate. Even if I’m to be a disappointment in your eyes, this path for her freedom is a small price – please understand.” Pei Ming does not understand. Despite being heralded as the God of Love, he’s not much of a romantic.

There was a conversation on spiritual weapons and how it makes a god more powerful when they have their own tailor made to fit them. However, Xie Lian doesn't seem to have a spiritual weapon. There's Ruoye but he's a martial god so he should have a martial weapon. This brought up a little theory that Xie Lian maybe is so powerful that he can wield any weapon at all, except there's situations that disprove this theory. Like when they met Rong Guang and how they were more focused on getting away that touching that fuming sword. Xie Lian didn't really try to tame him. Even E'ming that offered himself up willingly was barely wielded and Xie Lian would often give him commands so E'ming would fight independently. Even Fang Xin, the sword he had for the longest time, sort of drifted to him because Bai Wuxiang intended for Xie Lian to inherit Fang Xin. It was never really his.

This brings me to MY headcanon theory rubs hands together.

The first is that Xie Lian's spiritual weapon are his hands because he tends to drop back to martial hand-to-hand combat a lot but that was just because he didn't have a physical weapon that could contain his power so I don't really think that's it.

But my second theory:

Xie Lian DOES have a spiritual weapon....but it's not particularly....a weapon. Hear me out! Hear me out!

In the discussion of the Xianle trio, someone explained that 17 year old didn't really see Feng Xin and Mu Qing as independent beings. He loved them, he cherished them, but to little him they were extensions of him. His precious treasures that he nurtured and raised to bring out their martial brilliance. He imagined they would always be with him because.....drum roll.....THEY WERE HIS WEAPONS! (It's not too farfetched).

I'm not saying that Feng Xin and Mu Qing are literally a bow and a saber (wouldn't mind fanfiction on that though), I'm saying their purpose in Xie Lian's life was a lot like weapons. He took them to every battle he fought, even when he went alone they'd eventually find him and save him (like the Land of Tender). They were the crutches he could always count on until his fall.... Then he started drawing away from his weapons, getting weaker and ultimately loosing everything. So his weapons leave and Xie Lian spends 800 hard years without his spiritual weapons.

Then he meets Hua Cheng...and Hua Cheng becomes his new weapon. Not weapon in the sense that Xie Lian can only see him as a tool, because Xie Lian cherishes his every weapon. He cries over them, he spoils them, he wants them in perfect working condition at all times, and Hua Cheng is always there for him. At first he hesitated with this new weapon, only using Hua Cheng when he has to. Soon, wielding Hua Cheng is as easy as breathing air. Anytime Xie Lian needs power, Hua Cheng just hands it over. With Hua Cheng, Xie Lian is so empowered that he's starting to become a problem to the heavens (with the unlocking so many previously buried drama XD). Xie Lian let's himself believe in eternal love yet again and his bond with his weapon grows infinitely stronger which brings me to my final addition which is....the final battle. ALL HIS WEAPONS ARE PRESENT. There was no fucking way he was gonna loose.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but TGCF fans keep teasing Feng Xin who came up with a simple way in naming his clone Nan Feng by picking up Nan from his official title and Feng from his name,but what about Pei Ming? His literal title is Ming Guang which he himself made by picking Ming from his Pei Ming name and Guang from his childhood friend's Rong Guang?Sure it was initially chosen to be his swords name ,but my point still stands.🤭

Pei Ming, Xuan Ji, and Rong Guang have so many problems with the other that they would drive even the best couples counselors to tears

"General Pei, why does your sword call you babygirl?"

"Your Highness, how about we stop talking for a little while?"

These two TIED in round one of the "Who Should Smoke Some Weed? (TGCF Edition)" bracket.

Winner moves on to the next round.

TGCF x Modern au x blood #5

Pei Ming Week Day 2: Famous Tales

Day 2 Drabble

“So did it really happen like that?” Rong Guang asks, splayed out across the sofa. “The General who Broke his Sword.” “You absorbed the sword’s essence. Shouldn’t you know?” “I want to hear it from you.” “Well what do you think?” “Unrealistic.” Pei Ming scoffs. For anyone else, he’d have a carefree shrug while gauging their interest in his tale to determine their continued associations. But this isn’t anyone else. It’s Rong Guang. Did he deserve the full version – the stay in prison, the interrogations, the forced confessions, the smuggled-in white cloth? Pei Ming shrugs. “It’s as the story goes.”

I was trying to recall Xuan Ji's name. XD

Google seems convinced though that the real Ex is Rong Guang.
