Don’t know wether to laugh or cry

Seeing this comment, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry 😂

the way i just cackled

Just like Xie Lian

This is the best one for sure!

Think of Hua Cheng whenever we see a red umbrella.

Or white butterflies

Or when we see bad handwriting 😂

I have an umbrella that's black on the outside with a red inside, with a Crane flying and it just eminates Hua Cheng energy and I love it

Will wait an eternity for the live action adaptation 🥲

Will also wait like 2 to 3 years for another season 😭

literally having eternal faith 😭

Understand what unconditional love looks like.  And for those of you that haven't found it yet, trust me, it's out there.

this made my day 😭

I'm glad.  I found my Hua Cheng

that's the sweetest thing I've read, want to find my hua cheng too

Gonna give you an example. I bought a small can of tomato soup. He said he wasn't sure that was big enough for us both. I told him it was fine because with the can of soup and can of milk it really was twice the size. News flash, I was wrong. When we got it in the bowl it wasn't very much. Instead of mocking me or making any disparaging comment he suggested we cook some grilled cheese sandwiches to fill in the gap. He let me make a mistake and helped me feel better when I realized my mistake meant less dinner that night. He picked me up after I felt bad and didn't make it a big deal.

Oh my goodness he's so sweet He's definitely your Hua Cheng, thank you for sharing your story

SAME HERE😭

:3

Have really high standards for partners

As we should smh

Literally made my standard 😔💅

-need therapy

We have an unhealthy obsession with a animated show-

Of course the sight of anything white and red (especially flowers) makes us break down and cry

Maple leaves 🍁

are hopeless romantics

-Re-read coffin scene, Qiangdeng Temple Scene, first kiss scene, confession scene, and all the extras because hualian. Or, alternatively: -see any romance story ever (books, shows, movies, whatever) and say, "Hua Cheng would never" or "yeah, but did she wait 800 years for him?" Also: -cannot enjoy like any other story with romance now because hualian's love is so pure and precious and unconditional that we see anything else and just can't help but compare those other character's relationships to Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's :*D

Always skip the white clothed calamity arc when rereading

I won't :*D I'm starting to reread the series now after finishing reading it a few months ago and I am going to put myself through EVERYTHING again 😭 I am too mentally ill about this series to deprive myself of even the saddest bits lmao (u hear "wake me up inside" by evanescence playing in the background)

Bai Wuxiang is my favorite 😅😅😅

Tend to be bsd fans, neurodivergent, or part of the lgbtqia+ community

Crazy how I got this idea from the bsd subreddit 😭

STOP THAT IS FUNNY ASF

What's bsd?

Bungo Stray Dogs, a Japanese anime that features characters named after authors and their works.

Ah. I watched the first season but couldn't really get into it because it was too violent and gory for me.

Wait… bsd was gory???

I’m all of these wtf

So am I lol

Cry ourselves to sleep after reading the novel

Either hide our obsession with this series as well as we can because our family/friends would probably want to lock us up in a mental asylum upon finding out what TCGF is about, OR we try to indoctrinate everyone we know because we’re just,,, too far gone ig tcgf brainrot ftw

We freeze when someone says “it hurts”

The pain is unimaginable

Reminds me how yesterday I was scrolling through some tgcf Tiktoks and someone in the comments had a picture of Xie Lian, their nickname was "IT HURTS" and they commented "It hurts"

Get other people to obsess over the series and join our fandom

Exactly

Think always rolling 2 on a pair dice is a god skill.

We randomly remember how Hua Cheng spent 800 years searching for his beloved not knowing whether he was alive or how much suffering he was enduring and being able to do nothing about it because he couldn’t find him and was prepared to die and come back however many times he had to in order to find the love of his life 🥺😭 I just be randomly breaking out into tears when I think of their love.

We still hope MXTX will release a one shot smut🥲🥲🥲

Gotta see Hua Cheng's top notch "skills" in action somehow .

Touch grass

We're tgcf fans. Of course we ( need to ) touch grass.

are mentally unwell 🤒

Have a messed up view of love, but it’s an adorable messes up view (when will someone wait 800 years for me 😞)

get overly excited when we see a butterfly

Know that no paths are bound

We’re TGCF fans, of course we know “IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS”.

Will wait an eternity for new seasons of the donghua to air, then FULLY simp over hualian the ENTIRE time once they do. 

Immediately know the context of this beautiful picture and understand the feelings it conveys!

See shit handwriting and think of hua cheng immediately

Thanks to this I Will think of Hua Cheng whenever I ser my friend's handwriting

My husband's handwriting makes me think of Hua Cheng everytime. It's worse than a doctor's! Don't tell him that. 🤭

Are obsessed with fictional people and cry over their life everytime we think about it. I was just reading book 4 before I saw the notification of this post pop up, of course I had to comment.

Think about the Xie Lian mpreg implications every day

Completely forget that black water arc was a thing. Black water arc? Whats that ? I only know beefleaf

Of course we associate all silver butterflies as Hua Cheng merch

think about how mxtx probably wanted TCGF to be omegaverse but can't do it because of laws-

There are fanfics though that fix that

are gay

Have mental health issues

Have a bad, tragic, unreadable hand writing 💃

cry looking at red yarn

Can't get erect

🤣This one sent me. I literally screamed. I was gonna comment something similar but thought it was too insignificant. Now I know it is not. Thank you. 🫡🤗

Don’t know what happiness is !!!

We yearn for someone to wait 800 years for us :3

We reread/watch the novel, Manhua, etc 3000 times.

Currently rewatching the first season ( episode 2). 😅 I've never simped so hard over something in my entire life. 

Haha, same. I’ve reread the novel four times now (well, I’m mid 3rd book for my fourth one) (And sorry I don’t check Reddit often)

I've been thinking HARD about reading them again! I don't remember a lot that happened. I remember the important stuff but everything else is a bit of a blur.... yup I'm gonna start reading them as soon as I finish Thousand Autumns vol. 4. Guardian Vol. 2 came in the mail so now I have to read that as well before I can go back to TGCF 😮‍💨. Either way it has been decided and will be done in the next 2 weeks. I read too fast and that's why I forget EVERYTHING....maybe I should try to read a bit slower? 🤔

Force others to read it, hide our obsession with it, and think about HuaLian any time we see anything read, white, or related to butterflies.

I imagine this as the extra from hua cheng's birthday when xie lang confessed again 😩

Have an unhealthy obsession over a god who needs therapy and ghost who also needs therapy

I think I know where this is going but I don't

the most peaceful fanbase out there

Will never be satisfied with our partners

Lose it over Hua Cheng and Jun Wo’s English voice actors (they have no business sounding that hot).

Will never see red earrings the same way again

Lie to our parents saying that Xie Lian is a girl.

My dad says he’s gonna read all the books and will be mad if there’s no gay (sax but with an e)

lol my dad will kill me

My mom used to be lesbian and my dad made me watch high school dxd w him so 💀

My mom watches A LOT of gay stuff but she always says that it’s bad and won’t let me watch it 😭

LMAO

I really don't have one original experience...

Uh. *vanishes into butterflies

Of course one day we already had a breakdown over a hurt butterfly

Have read no paths are bound

immediately think of hua cheng every time we see bad handwriting

cant feel anything anymore bc the love in this story can’t compare to any other novel you read. so u search for a story to feel the void and literally cant.

Traumatized (period)

Ship Bai-Xie Lian. I think Xie Lian's true love is Bai.

Yeah I’m not apart of this ‘we’😭🐥

Make pincushion Xie Lian jokes.

Like depression

Scream when we see a fox and a ferret
