➤ this is a hella cool collage-based piece of art on the theme of beefleaf from tgcf
➤ highly recommend looking at it on a larger screen than just a phone screen if possible, as there's a lot going on
➤ it's composed so beautifully out of all these disparate parts to both look cool as a piece of art as a whole AND to have lots of details with meaning worth exploring when you look closer

- beefleaf prior to the black water arc
- sqx and her bff ming-xiong go to a party together! sqx explains to the hostess why ming-xiong is such a good friend, and it's definitely not about sex!
- they absolutely do have really good sex sometimes though. including at this party.
- the dynamics between sqx and hx are soooo good
- and ditto sqx having a great time being a beautiful woman at multiple after-parties, after the mid-autumn banquet
- what a delightful little gem of a fic

- beefleaf modern reincarnation! reincarnation isn't usually my thing but I liked how it was handled here
- he xuan has not developed any more chill over the years between when sqx dies and when sqx is finally reincarnated
- he xuan's pov is very fun. the drama! the pathos! meanwhile sqx is clearly just having a nice time bonding with he-jie. beefleaf always about contrasts :)
- I believe in u, he xuan! you can do it! have an actual relationship with sqx!!
- also the gender stuff is great.

- thanks to @roland for the rec!
I think you can make an argument that so many gods are queer in #tgcf because cultivation was one of the best ways to avoid the traditional expectations of marriage.
