15. do you prefer space or the ocean?

I prefer the ocean! It means more within reach than space (even tho it’s not nearly as explored as space hahaha)

32. do you have any strange interests?

anime is strange ewe but jokes aside... i don’t think so??

Hi!

I’ve actually never set any of the characters apart in the manhua -- particularly in terms of their physical violence -- so my criticism of Zhengxi’s behaviour has always been as critical as it is with He Tian. 

Unfortunately I can’t find my old asks that discussed his behaviour bc they were deleted along with the rest of my posts on my old blog, but I’ve never seen Zhengxi’s actions as cutesy or protective. Like I said yesterday: intention does not change action. Jian Yi, if I’m recalling correctly, has never instigated physical violence. He’s always been the punching bag. He has played with Zhengxi’s fears once or twice, however (running off in the woods, jumping into the river, generally being a frustrating idiot), but none of that is deserved of physical abuse? That’s a very harmful way to handle it. 

I always remember a convo I had with alliandoalice once about why the two of them were actually friends, because a few months ago it just... seemed liked Zhengxi couldn’t stand Jian Yi? Like, if everything that Jian Yi did annoyed/irritated him/lead him to use violence, then what on earth was he doing hanging around him?

The difference between Tianshan and Xiyi is that Zhengxi and Jian Yi are essentially confirmed to be emotionally attached to one another -- they are self-professed best friends who care for one another, and look out for one another. Tianshan, on the other hand, is fundamentally controlled by He Tian, and when the attachment he’s looking for isn’t being fulfilled (ie. when Guan Shan doesn’t do what he wants/doesn’t reciprocate), he’s resorted to violence. Sure, maybe He Tian is looking out for Guan Shan at times, and sure, maybe Guan Shan feels affection for him, but He Tian is abusive when he doesn’t get what he wants. Zhengxi uses violence as an instinctive retaliation to Jian Yi putting himself in trouble/doing stupid things. Neither are acceptable; they are different. 

I might consider doing a full break-down of this discussion (ie. the violence in 19 Days) since it comes up time and time again, but I’m also aware that it’s going to open a whole can of worms that I don’t... really want to invite. 

I had a kinda similar ask recently. I can’t think of many of those, sadly. I can add

I love size differences too!! But seriously though He Tian is big compared to everyone tbh 😂😂😂

My feelings are mixed I guess, on one hand I don’t think it’s as bad as some fans say in the sense considering his age and the number of the days that passed in the story (which is not a lot), He Tian’s character is pretty consistent with how he was always like previously. I think it’s a bit unrealistic to expect He Tian to become an entirely gentle character with Guan shan, they had their tender moments but imo He Tian is not someone I consider a “gentle” character, and I don’t really expect their dynamic to change so soon because of how their personalities are like.

On the other hand saying that they are totally in love and all this is just usual OX comedy… that’s hard for me to swallow down too… I couldn’t really brush it off so I won’t pretend I don’t actually mind He Tian’s actions, I like He Tian a lot as a character because of his complexities, but as with everybody else he has his good and bad points. This is my personal opinion and I’m sorry if it’s a downer.
