could talk for hours about the themes of love (platonic/romantic/familial or otherwise) woven throughout the entirety of the poppy war trilogy. chaghan and qara? rin and kitay? rin and nezha? daji and jiang? the way love and- by extension- a sense of loyalty shape the decisions of every single character in a way that manages to feel both irrational and like the most logical thing in the world, as love often does, is so compelling,, no one is doing it like rf kuang

i am not immune to stories in which characters who have endured harsh, empty existences become absolutely transformed by someone’s sincere love for them and learn to live

having so much love in your heart is beautiful and amazing right up until you’re alone in your bedroom clutching at your chest and whimpering like a wounded dog

basically I think that if your protagonist doesn’t want to fuck someone so bad it makes them look stupid, then there probably isn’t enough energy in your story. “Fuck someone” isn’t literal btw—they can want to uncover the secrets of their parent’s death, they can want to prove their worth, they can want a donut from one particular bakery—it can be anything so long as they want it so bad that they’ll make decisions that make any sane person go “are you a moron??”, with little to no forethought, or even tons of forethought and this is still the option they chose. Because they want to fuck that thing so bad.
