“Tgcf is like the trolley problem except it’s Xie Lian’s fault that everyone dies because he wants to stop the trolley.” No, Tgcf is “like” the trolley problem if the problem was that every time Xie Lian attempted to stop a trolley, the trolley owner builds another trolley and sends it hurtling down another track to mass murder another set of people to prove to Xie Lian that the only “reasonable” response to witnessing mass death occurring is to stand to the side to watch the trolley kill the people you think least deserving of life, maybe while asking the trolley driver—who wants to kill—to slow down a little (but only maybe). In that regard, the op of that wretched take and the trolley owner seem to be on the same wavelength.

I suspect that it may be a common Asexual experience but when I imagine something as "sexy", I imagine something that makes your heart beat fast, that gives you goosebumps, that captures all your focus and puts a hitch in your breath and an odd tingle on the back of your neck, that is exciting and enjoyable to think about.

By extension, things that I believe are "sexy" include:

Office supply outlets

Hardware stores

Antique sewing machines in working order

Really good gel pens

People in eyeliner

Baroque art

Textile warehouses

Administrative filing systems

I want ths japanese manga to realease AAAAAAA

Here we go again…..

Having JC as Ace does not give him a free pass to being homophobic.

$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

when you can't super boop back because you're on mobile

me and my mutuals who I've never actually exchanged words with booping each other instead of striking up a conversation

The fascination to make the likes of Shen Jiu, Jiang Cheng, and Mu Qing everything they aren't while claiming to understand everything about their character will forever amaze me. No, you don't actually understand them as they are, especially because what's wanted is your own sense of redemption and what they deserve as way of a reward for their realizations.

Yet their acceptance of their horrid behaviors is their redemption. The bare minimum of acknowledging the cruelty they inflicted and put on to others as well is it. You do not get rewarded, nor should expect to be, for that realization that you have deliberately let others be hurt because of your own jealousy and hate. Realizing is just one part of betterment. The only one that does actively try to make amends and shows some sort of understanding to maintain an actual semblance of friendship that is now with boundaries and understanding of expectations from that, is Mu Qing. He is the only one that reaches out with his apologies to say he wants Xie Lian as a friend despite his jealousy and behavior of the past.

Shen Jiu and Jiang Cheng have no such regrets since their cynicism and self-absorption stays the principal feeling of their regrets. It is not for the sympathy and regret for what others did for them that they're upset, it's the way they know they have no right to disregard the selflessness that Wei Wuxian and Yue Qingyuan showed for them. The reality of having squandered and belittled that because of their own hate, self grandeur, and egoism convinced them it was appropriate and reasonable. Only one amongst these three did have the maturity to admit and willingly want to place the effort into maintaining the friendship he still wanted when saying he was actively wrong and jealous of who Xie Lian was. Shen Jiu still was forever bitter about Yue Qingyuan while also not wanting to think that perhaps Yue Qingyuan was suffering as well. Jiang Cheng still spoke in terms of debts and repayment as if Wei Wuxian was settling to buy off his own life to freedom. They did not want to actively change because they didn't see anything wrong in their own selves.

That is where at least Mu Qing has the opening to do and be better, to be a friend finally to Xie Lian. Redemption isn't meant to be satisfying for anyone but the one who seeks it in their own way. Sometimes it's also disappointing as an outside party that they don't want to change for the better with that realization of identity and still are hateful to the core.

I don't think I've ever seen fans with as much audacity as mxtx's fans because why are people saying they know the characters better than the person who created them.

Notable fact about Wei Wuxian is that when he's in good health and not like, losing his mind and dying of trauma, he has a perfectly regular sleep schedule. It just involves sleeping from one AM to nine AM. Solid eight hours.

Not more or less time than Lan Wangji sleeps, just...four hours later. He's a night owl, is all.

Which is admittedly a stupider schedule in a preindustrial society where artificial lighting is expensive, than it is today. But also his job calls for working nights so arguably his schedule is perfectly rational.

JC Stans: “Jiang Cheng has an excuse for being homophobic, he was living in a homophobic society during that time!”🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Also JC Stans: “Jiang Cheng didn’t consent getting Wei Wuxian’s golden core! It’s against his rights!”🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Why do they only apply modern society on some things but not on others?

Was I out of line to call someone a dumb bitch on Twitter? Maybe. But if that person was a JC stan that called GC transfer as non con, then yes, I will unapologetically call the dumb bitch because I now have zero tolerance for that take

Sorry not Sorry
