Back then it was unrequited!! Before Jian Yi's confession and their talk (i would say more about this but i need to re-read). Now it's ambiguous... which pisses me off ngl. That arc meant a lot to me because i related to Zhang Xi's denial and Jian Yi's fear of losing him because of his "wrong" feelings </3 (classic queer experience) IT WAS SO PEAK

2026: i play the tomodachi life demo on the family switch over and over again. I can't buy it.

And like it used to actually have a story to tell and now it just feels like….nothing

Like I LOVED these characters for so long and now like it feels like the author themselves has reduced them down to their fandom stereotypes

Anyway just thought you were based as fuck have a good night

Exactly they've been reduced to stereotypes and tropes!! Old Xian LITERALLY gave my favorite character a lobotomy (....jian yi) sadly there's nothing we can do :/

Sometimes i feel sad that i dropped 19 Days but the constant timeskips, weird update schedule with 0 plot payoff.... it was ragebait atp (like rn i think there's nothing going on???)

The characters that meant everything to me from ages 15 to 20 now hurt to think about

It's such a shame the story that resonated with me back then when i didn't even know i was closeted is just... whatever it is..

Like i know it's always been yaoi slop (kinda)

But it used to have soul

Like I can't even put into words how much the unrequited zhanyi arc meant to me... that shit changed my life....

The worst part of all this??? i still want the damn merch.
