in honor of the last release of the english translation, here’s the cuties :)

i love them so much ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

to anyone who got the special edition, those postcards are so cute aren’t they? (≧∀≦)

forever your most devoted believer

I was going to make a case for a mdzs!tma au but then it came to me, tgcf!tma

Spoilers for both series under the cut. Major spoilers. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Xie Lian who is Jun Wu's version of Jonah Magnus's Jon. Someone puppeteered to be touched by ever major fear.

Xie Lian's The Buried? See Guoshi Fangxin being buried

Xie Lian's The Corruption? Human-Face disease

Xie Lian's The Dark? Not seeing the sun for a century would do it.

Xie Lian's The Desolation? When his temples and statues were destroyed, his legacy torn and burned.

Xie Lian's The End? He has truly been surrounded by so, so much death.

Xie Lian's The Eye? His very public fall from grace.

Xie Lian's The Flesh? Also Human Face disease! And all the other body horror he's seen in general.

Xie Lian's The Hunt? Bai Wuxiang chasing him down and swooping in when he's most vulnerable. Also just. His own monster of the week hunting.

Xie Lian's The Lonely? Remember when he said a malovent spirit tried to drive him mad and Xie Lian welcomed it because it was some company? Yeah.

Xie Lian's The Slaughter? "It hurts."

Xie Lian's The Spiral? The amount of times he has been made to doubt his own mind. (Re: When Xie Lian considered that Bai Wuxiang could be his own soul).

Xie Lian's The Stranger? Bai Wuxiang.

Xie Lian's The Vast? He's always made to feel insignificant.

Xie Lian's The Web? Once again, Bai fucking Wuxiang and Jun Wu.

Honorable mention to The Extinction being the human face disease (notably when XL was ready to unleash it)

I know that the fears back then were probably not as concrete as when tma is set but i just thought it was interesting! I could totally see a modern au of this too at the good old Magnus Institute. If Jonah Magnus takes over the body of a Chinese man is that him being lowkey racist?

Also when Jon went all paranoid in s2 and drove everyone away- XL after his first banishment. I can see it so clearly I swear.

Also, Hua Cheng was touched by the fears too;; right? Completely unintentionally. (Buried: Mount Tonglu, Corruption: Butterflies maybe? could also just he HFD again, Dark: He's probably spent years hidden in temples without a candle so he doesn't get caught, Desolation: 33 gods, End: He's died like;;; thrice? good enough, Eye: probably being bullied for his eye and wanting people to stop looking at him so he can disappear or how he could only watch as people drove a blade into xl's chest, Flesh: He tore his eye out and put in a sword for heaven's sake and just;;; ghost city vendors, Hunt: He's got that Prey turned Predator smugness, Lonely: Must I explain this., Slaughter: Tonglu probably but he's seen a lot more than that, Spiral: Def has been on the verge of going insane multiple times and doubting his memories, Stranger: ghosts shenanigans prolly, Vast: Falling at the parade, Web: he created his own trap for the 33 gods).

So this royally fucks up plans and boom love wins.

Hualian power couple supremacy because they can cuddle in summer and not get hot.
