still cannot get over the audacity it takes to adapt a book series about gay people and necromancy fully knowing youre gonna have to censor both the gay people and the necromancy. thats a wild call

the cql/mdzs jianghu is like. your grandfathers built a big old house and its been passed down for generations and youre caring for it now to pass it down to your children but theres black mold. its fucking riddled with black mold. the house needs to be fucking demolished honestly or at the very least heavily renovated to cut out all this fucking black mold or its going to collapse on you or your children or your grandchildren but this is your home and you live here, what are you meant to do, rent like all those normal people? and its your grandfathers house you cant take it down you cant destroy their lifes work they put into it all so you would have a house to live in. so you ignore the black mold. its just a pattern on the wallpaper. everyone ignores the black mold. you have guests over and they dont look at your black mold and when you go visit them in the homes their grandfathers built you dont look at their black mold. sometimes you can genuinely forget about the black mold. and then wei wuxian and nie mingjue both come over and immediately point at the big fucking ever-growing patch of black mold and say "hey dont you think you should get that dealt with?" and well theyre right but isnt that so rude? everyone knows we ignore the black mold.

just realised that if jin guangyao had in fact let lan xichen stay and die with him then all 3 of those assholes wouldve been in the torture coffin together. imagine being nie mingjue trying to enact 100 years of vengeance upon the lying bastard who murdered you but your mutual boyfriend the conflict mediation pervert is sitting there like "guys stop cant we all just talk about our feelings :("

"well actually jiang cheng DID consent to having his core replaced so people need to stop making non-consensual surgery jokes" yea okay but what he consented to was baoshan sanren, famed immortal, doing some mysterious cultivation shit to him Not becoming the guinea pig for an untested doctoral thesis

um anyway does anybody else ever think about how jiang cheng especially in the later flashbacks is like painfully aware of the narrative being woven around wei wuxian and chooses to play a particular role in it but then ends up so locked into that character that he forgets who wei wuxian really was to him
