thinking abt how I find a lot of villain apologists to be sus in their personal philosophies, and this gets to the heart of it... just because someone is sympathetic actually does not justify their actions, and if you think it does, ur sus to me

tweet by twitter user @cohavastarship, "Hot take. The reason why it's important to humanize villains is not so you can condone their actions, it's so you recognize that, given the right circumstances, you could become a villain too. And that is what some people cannot handle"

imagine thinking this guy would be unwashed or live in sweats... he's a dandy

Shen Qingqiu internally rolled with laughter. Liu Qingge shot him a glare, then reached into his lapels, pulled something out, and tossed it to him. Shen Qingqiu caught it and saw that it was one of the old folding fans he had left in Qing Jing Peak’s Bamboo House.
Shen Qingqiu couldn’t resist the urge to spread it with a sharp swish, and the resulting cool breeze immediately made him feel more lively and refreshed. A folding fan really was a deadly weapon when it came to acting badass—he could feel his B-Points explosively surging by the second!

I'm so incorrect and wrong, but he didn't know how SQQ loved here

“It’s true that Shizun’s smiles are never very wide,” Luo Binghe said. “But of course I know when Shizun is smiling within his heart.”
You’re lying on top of someone and acting spoiled while playing with a strand of their hair. Are you a little girl?!
Shen Qingqiu rolled his eyes. “Yes. You’re the roundworm in my stomach.”10
“I don’t want to be a roundworm.”
Shen Qingqiu smacked the hand playing with his hair like it was a mosquito. “Then what do you want to be? You tell me, just who has this master smiled at?”

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

'Death of the author' means that interpretations outside of the author's explicit intent CAN still be valid, not that it's impossible to misinterpret a story.

People don't like it when I say that Jiang Cheng and Xue Yang are parallels, but that's just because they can't read

“If you just wanted to kill him, why did you use lingchi?” Wei Wuxian pressed him. “It’s a form of torture meant to punish sinners. If you were avenging yourself, why did you use Shuanghua rather than Jiangzai? Why did you have to pluck out Chang Ping’s eyes, just like Xiao Xingchen?”
Xue Yang screamed his response for all he was worth. “Bullshit! That’s all bullshit! What, should I have let him die an easy death when I wanted revenge?!”
“Well, I agree that it was vengeance,” Wei Wuxian assured him. “But who, exactly, were you avenging? What a joke. If you really wanted vengeance, the one to suffer the thousand cuts of lingchi should’ve been your own damn self!”

He looked at Jiang Cheng and thought for a moment before saying dispassionately, “Sect Leader Jiang, calm down. I understand how you feel right now. You’re furious because you found out the truth about your golden core. Looking back on what you’ve done over the years, your proud heart feels a little guilty. You’re anxious to find a villain culpable for what happened to Wei-gongzi in his former life, a fiend whom you can saddle with the blame. Then you’ll lash out against him to avenge Wei-gongzi—and to relieve yourself a little of the burden.
“Perhaps you think that blaming me for everything from the Thousand Sores and Hundred Holes curse to the Qiongqi Path Ambush can alleviate your troubles. By all means, go ahead. It doesn’t matter if you think that way. But you have to understand that you are also responsible for what happened to Wei-gongzi. In fact, you played a large role. Why did so many people dedicate themselves to crusading against the Yiling Patriarch? Why did everyone involved—and even those who had nothing to do with the matter at all—donate their voices to the cause? Why was there such an overwhelming number of people baying for his blood? Was it really their sense of justice at work? Of course not. Part of the reason…was you.”

I think about this constantly... Sometimes, people make it seem like the Jiang Sect is more chill oe fun for WWX, and it's interesting, because, really, WWX's temperament is to make everything fun for himself

Someone asked, “The Lotus Pier of the Jiang Clan must be so much more fun than this place, right?”

Wei Wuxian laughed. “Whether something’s fun or not all depends on how you play. There’s definitely not as many rules though, and no need to get up so early.”

More evidence that this is canon... Look at Pubert's room before his sickness. Look at it after his sickness. Remind you of anything??? How about the way Shen Yuan changed PIDW from an edgy chuuni fantasy to a danmei love story???

It was her family that pressured JFM, not YZY who was somehow forced to marry him, lol. If he didn't want to, and her family pressured him after his father died, then, yeah, YZY knew what she got into, and had no right to be so angry, LOL

However, soon afterward, the MeishanYu Sect
proposed an alliance through marriage to the YunmengJiang Sect.
The leader of the Jiang Sect back then was
quite interested, but Jiang FengMian had no such intentions. He
didn’t like Yu ZiYuan’s conduct and felt that the two wouldn’t be
an appropriate match. He had politely refused the offer a handful
of times. However, the MeishanYu Sect set about multiple factors,
putting pressure on Jiang FengMian, who was at the time still
fairly young and had nothing to lean on. Along with the fact that,
not long later, ZangSe SanRen had become cultivation partners with
the most loyal servant at Jiang FengMian’s side, Wei ChangZe, and
rode off into the sunset, roaming around the world, Jiang FengMian
finally gave up.
Although Jiang and Yu were married, they had
ever since been a grudging couple. They had always been living
apart and held the most disagreeable of conversations. Aside from
the strengthening of their sect’s powers, nobody knew what other
benefits they had attained.

This entire scene is actually so funny when you consider that it's the only example we have of JFM favouring WWX over JC in text, and when you actually see what is happening... it's none of that. It's just YZY making shit up, and JC believing her garbage

Unseeli @unsee.li · 16/01/2025

If you didn't want to argue, you wouldn't have reposted my skeet, LOL. And, I think it's really funny that people keep talking about how JFM pays more attention to WWX than he does to JC, but, the only example we have is this scene, where JFM says, "well done", and then says this to JC

The HC and Binghe method of proposing... if they seem unwilling, pretend it's a joke

Luo Binghe was still clearly tense, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down when he saw Shen Qingqiu raise his head from where it hid in his hands. Seemingly having wanted to speak already, he hurriedly said, "Shizun, if you do not wish to, you don't need to answer the question! Do-Don't answer. I, I can understand what you mean anyway, you don't need to say it out loud. It's alright. If you think this is troublesome you don't need to pay heed to me, you can take it as a joke, it's nothing.."
Shen Qingqiu swung his fan down on Luo Binghe's head, making a resounding "pa". He said, "Nothing my ass!"
Luo Binghe's head was unexpectedly struck by a fan. He touched his head, blinking once and again. He didn't understand why he'd been hit. Shen Qingqiu on the other hand was terribly annoyed by his innocent expression.
Just a moment ago he still was secretly happy, and the very next moment the damn boy goes, "It's nothing, no need to answer. Take it as a joke!"
Because of that last sentence, Shen Qingqiu flew into a rage, swinging his fan repeatedly, "So you can crack jokes about this kind of thing?!"
Luo Binghe obediently took the thrashing, saying in an aggrieved voice, "I was wrong..."

"Gege, want to get married?"

"..."

"...Huh?" Xie Lian was startled.
Such a gaze, such words, they were in such close quarters with nowhere to run. Instantly, colours exploded in Xie Lian's vision, and his mind went completely blank. His entire person was frozen, stiffer than a corpse.
Seeing his reaction, Hua Cheng took his arm back and snickered. "It's a joke. Did I shock gege?"

"..." It was a good moment before Xie Lian snapped out of it. "...You're too much. How can you joke about something like that?"

Shen Yuan: How can someone love another so deeply with abandon? Is it laughable? It’s too incredible, can it really be done to that degree? They must have obsessive disorders! Xie Lian: I'm insane, you're insane, we're meant to be (all screenshots from MXTX's TGCF postscript)

This is a love story. It's about gentleness, dreams, something never to be given up on, and someone
never to be forgotten.
During middle
school and high school, sometimes I'd write some mind-boggling stories, but I've always had a random fixation, the belief that a person shouldn't see love as their life. They must have their own ambitions, their own ideals, their own goals in life, blah blah blah, otherwise - TGCF postscript

they won't have their own soul, not independent, blah blah blah. But, later this idea slowly began to change. Because I realized, although I'm always saying people shouldn't put so much emphasis on love, truthfully, what attracts my eyes the most is oftentimes the people whose emotions are so powerful they're like moths to flames. Does this count as the body being truthful while the mouth lies? Either way, after realizing this, I can't help but think what I thought when I was young is too arrogant and single-faceted.
How can someone love another so deeply with abandon? Is it laughable? It's too incredible, can it really be done to that degree? They must have obsessive disorders! There's probably not one in a million! But then when I think about it, a shocking dummy like Xie Lian, who works hard but pleases no one, refusing to look back even with his head cracked open, is equally hard to find one in a million. So if looked at in this way, then the two of you really are made for each other.
I've seen you at your worst, but so what.
You are my dream. - TGCF postscript

imprints on the first person to be kind to him after his mother's death, and acts childish, bratty, and obnoxious to get attention from the one he loves, and the one he loves cannot resist spoiling him because he's so cute

In the abandoned draft, Hua Cheng often sang to his beloved a love song in a long-lost language his mother taught him. If Xie Lian asked what he's singing, he'd blink slyly and tell nonsense. But as the novel progressed, I realized Hua Cheng's parents and his background didn't necessarily need to be written, so we can just chat about this setup then let it go, it's not important. - TGCF postscript

As a JGY hater, I think he ate with this speech

“If being determined that everything from the Hundred Holes curse to the attack at the Qiongqi Path was part of my singlehanded scheme would ease your troubles, then feel free to think whatever you please. But what you have to understand is that, for what happened to Young Master Wei in the end, you are responsible too and in fact, you are very much so. Why did so many people crusade against the YiLing Patriarch? Why did they shout their support, no matter if they were involved or not? Why was he one-sidedly condemned by so many? Was it really their sense of justice? Of course not. A part of the reason is you.”

Unseeli @unsee.li · 11/01/2025

remember when JC found out that WWX gave him his core, and then said this?

Wei WuXian continued, “Take it as my repayment to the Jiang Sect.”

Jiang Cheng looked up. He looked at him with teary, bloodshot eyes, and a hoarse voice, “… Repayment to my father, my mother, my sister?”

Unseeli @unsee.li · 06/01/2025

But how does WWX respond to these things? He knows exactly what XXC means to XY. He sees that Jin Guangyao is not trying to glorify himself when he makes the Guanyin look like himself. But, he doesn't want LXC to go soft on him

Wei WuXian continued, "That's a great reason you came up with. Unfortunately, the years don't add up. Someone like you who seeks revenge for the smallest things and murders in such ruthless ways wouldn't have waited so many years to finish off one clan, would you? You know the reason why you killed Chang Ping."
Xue Yang, "Then, tell me. What do I know? What do I know?!"
He shouted the last sentence. Wei WuXian asked again, "You didn't just kill him. Why did you choose to use lingchi, the torture that represents 'punishment'? If you were avenging for yourself, why did you use Shuanghua, instead of your own Jiangzai? Why did you dig out his eyes and make it so that he was just like Xiao XingChen?"
Xue Yang shouted himself hoarse, "Nonsense! That's all nonsense! It's revenge-why in the world would I have let him die comfortably?"
Wei WuXian, "You were indeed seeking revenge, but whose revenge were you actually seeking? What a joke. If you wanted to seek revenge, the one you should've executed lingchi on is yourself!"

"Lan Zhan, did you know? The one named SiSi seemed to have been a friend of Jin GuangYao's mother's."
Lan WangJi, "I did not."
Wei WuXian didn't know if he should laugh, "I was only making a comment, not that I was really asking you. I saw it back at the Guanyin Temple, in Empathy with the ghoul woman. She looked after Jin Guang Yao and his mother quite well."
With a moment of silence, Lan WangJi replied, "Thus, Jin GuangYao let the woman go."
Wei WuXian, "It should be the case. I was afraid ZeWu-Jun would go soft on him again, so I didn't say everything. Even now I still don't we should tell him."
Lan WangJi, "If he should ask in the future, I will let him know."
Wei WuXian, "Might as well."

"A fierce woman fears a sticky man, a brave hero fears a pampered woman. With enough labout, you can grind an iron bar into a needle. Even if he's as straight as an embroidery needle, you can still bend him into a paper clip!"

And, none of this is subtext, either. It's literally told to you, over and over again. You're simply ignoring it bc of your moral greyness fetish.

Jiang Cheng warned, "That's enough. It's fine if you talk about it, but don't actually walk such a crooked path."

Wei Wuxian smiled, "Why would I leave the nice, broad road, and walk on a single-plank bridge on a dark, narrow river instead? If it really is that easy, people would have already walked on it."

"What can I do apart from this?"

[Wei Wuxian] continued, "Give up the demonic path? Then what about the people on this mountain?

"Give them up? I wouldn't be able to do it. I believe that if you were I, you wouldn't be able to do it, either"

He continued, "Nobody can give me a nice, broad road to walk on. A road where I could protect those I want to protect without having to cultivate the ghostly path"

Reminder that when SQQ calls Zhuzhi Lang "pudding cup", Zhuzhi Lang hears, "delightful darling" ("lang", as we've seen in tgcf, is often used between lovers)

xi: to be fond of; to like; to enjoy; to be happy; to feel pleased; happiness; delight; glad
zhi: possessive particle; him; her; it
Lang: (archaic) minister; official; noun prefix denoting function or status; a youth
