dude you look so masc wallowing in your misery like that
my modern au is also
ouyang: we're doomed we're so over if i am the iceberg he is the solid ship that is too sure of its fatal path and sees only the beauty of the fog that hinders his vision and seals his death and if he is the flame i am the moth drawn terribly into that brilliant light and we are like two planets in orbit spinning on eternal trajectories closer and closer and our collision will bring nothing but destruction, pain, suffering that will mark the cosmos forever, we are fixed we are so over we're SO doomed
esen: i think ouyang smiled at me today with his eyes ^_^

the people mad about ouyang/esen in the swbts tag are so funny like sorrrrrrry the pairing that ended really tragically has more fix it fanfic than the pairing that is canon, is still together, had a lot of cute scenes together, and will probably be heavily featured in the upcoming book 😭 our bad guys!

It's here and it's stunning
The cover of SWBTS was masculine—sun, fire, gold, yang—so He Who Drowned the World is feminine: moon, water, darkness, yin. We all know the special contempt the world has for effeminate men, so this is the story of someone who, after a lifetime of being spat upon, is here to slay
