So this is basically them right?

i think what bugs me about the jhinhwei fics i’ve read so far is the way they treat hwei. hwei isn’t naive. i think that’s a very important part of what makes the ship work, actually. hwei is tormented. maybe not as much as jhin (who is doing it like him really), but there’s a nuance to his actions and his feelings and his choices. it’s portrayed twice in his biography. first, by his deviancy from the temple’s curriculum, by his willingness to explore an aspect of himself that isn’t only harmful to hwei but to others as well. and the reason is selfish. he wants to know how far he can go, how good of an artist he really is. so he endangers his masters and almost kills them to simply test his abilities.

intellectually, i know halara's gender actually is up to the audience. kodaka didn't intend to write a nonbinary character, he intended to write a character who was generally mysterious so the player could come to their own conclusions. he's said in an interview that halara wasn't intended to be any sort of "political" statement. i get that.
