It's another type of heartbreak entirely when you realize that when Ashton said "I was there. I know what happened. I know the secrets you keep. What will happen when he finds out?” he was not talking about Addam finding out. The way he killed Ashton wasn't because of Addam, his visceral reaction came from something else, something worse. Rune would rather stain his hands with blood over and over again than ever let that reach him. It's a shame not even all the blood in the universe can keep them safe from this particular secret.

It was not a failing on part of Wei Wuxian, to choose to protect the Wens, especially when they were being treated inhumanly. For Jiang Cheng to demand he put them back into labor camps. Jiang Cheng in no way was ever under any threat from the other clans to make Wei Wuxian turn tail. They implied the issue was Wei Wuxian didn't respect Jiang Cheng (and we can debate as to what this means later) which is unilaterally untrue. Jiang Cheng was not ever worried about his own clan, it was for his ego of being dismissed as Wei Wuxian's leader and master.

It was not on Wei Wuxian to explain WHY Jiang Cheng should care about people being tortured when he had already won and it was expounded hypocrisy to dismiss it. Jiang Cheng was a failure of sympathy and empathy and it had nothing to do with "an obligation to his family".

Anyways. I know most of the fans prefer them romantically but QPR rune and brand is so real and so important to me. A book series where the main character has a love interest and yet the person who is most important to him, the person who is his soulmate and who he is sharing a love story with is unequivocally still his best friend is so. I don’t even know how to put it into words but it means everything to me

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

Hello there, anon, I do not publish the asks I receive with links. Much less ones that I have blocked (and in this case for good reason lol.)

But I will answer some of the ideas from it:

Madam Yu was angered that Jiang Fengmian was ambivalent to her as a person and he did not ideologically agree with her, they could never have even an amicable partnership to sustain Lotus Pier. She also was never in Lotus Pier enough as she was always on Night Hunts, not training disciples. She didn't take the name of Jiang Furen out of disrespect to the Jiang name, she had no responsibilities other than her own hate (stop reading fanfic of bad ass gurl boss bitch Madam Yu).

Jiang Fengmian undermined Madam Yu's choices by choosing to dissolve Jiang Yanli's forced marriage arrangement: So was the actual well being of his daughter just... not as important as what Madam Yu wanted? To also force her into the Jiang parents same situation of a marriage filled without respect, love? Because Madam Yu's logic is so reasonable??? Or your point for that matter???

Supposed undermining Jiang Fengmian speaks upon her and Jiang Cheng... She said that, not Jiang Fengmian, she made up a situation that was not even existent to degrade Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian (two children) and her own husband (based on a situationship she made up because it can't be her fault or her own flaws, it's someone else to blame, for not liking her or her image she carved into Jiang Cheng). She is the one that says Jiang Cheng is not good enough, while stoic Jiang Fengmian never implies Jiang Cheng is lesser, but wrong, for viewing others as lesser. What he learned from Madam Yu is wrong and cruel.

Courage and arrogance are not the same. She at no point was courageous as everything she did on page was filled with hate aside from one moment of decency to her own child she never expressed any sort of affection before to, while condemning an orphan, hating him, and manipulating his gratitude for a horrendously broken promise and unfair expectations that Jiang Cheng clung to just as hatefully.

Adding the democratic process to the games this season was not exactly a subtle metaphor, but it was an effective one. So many of us have felt the brutality of trying to make democracy work under a capitalist system that encourages those who have to oppress the have nots, to view politics as a zero sum game, and to wield their votes as a weapon to hoard wealth and resources for themselves. I can’t say this was a pleasant watch, but it definitely felt honest.

Have we ever talked abou all the adults that miserably failed Naruto even though they all knew who his parents were and that they sacrificed their life and their son to protect the village? Like, Konoha kept failing and failing those kids, it's honestly a miracle they had the ending they did because the system was awful and as things are set in Boruto, they haven't changed that much.

Sitting here so peacefully until remembering Naruto's upbringing and he literally did not have a parental figure until Iruka became a teacher at 16 at most and Naruto was 6.

I think there is something interesting in Jin Ling not taking Zidian, the legacy not of Yunmeng Jiang, but of Madam Yu and the ideals she raised Jiang Cheng on, and him literally shoving it back to Jiang Cheng. To stand up with other boys and Wei Wuxian despite the extreme circumstances and impossibility of surviving but choosing to fight and potentially die facing that threat.

Yunmeng Jiang's legacy lives in two orphans for all intents and purposes that aren't even heirs to its seat in Wei Wuxian and Jin Ling, whose tie as family metaphorical and biological was with Jiang Yanli of Yunmeng Jiang. While Jiang Cheng still lives in the shadow of what his mother expected him to be with the ideals she instilled in him.

Morally, I would take Wei Wuxian using dead soldiers corpses to win a war, protected his "past enemies" because further torture of them was kicking a down dog and hypocritical when he "won", and using abandoned grave ghosts.

Over, a man that orchestrated a rape of prostitutes and burnt them and their brothel, lied to his wife about committing incest, then choosing to threaten her with said committed incest and having killed their son under the guise of another clan who hates him having assassinated him.

Over, a man that tells another man to have let their fellow allies die, and to put a grandmother and a two-year old back into labor camps, while refusing to uphold his own debts yet screaming at everyone else about what they owe him.

Over, a man that claims righteousness, yet refuses to see cruelty and excessive violence for what it is because of my own hate for a family name despite winning a war against the family that hurt him, uses the fact that another's mother is a whore and that taints another from being able to be righteous.

Over, a man that chooses to buy into his own version of a friend despite the clear signs of manipulation and excessive cruelty and murders he has committed makes him uncomfortable to confront.

A good man admits to their actions and doesn't make excuses. Tell me, when at any point in text, did Wei Wuxian deny the consequences of what he chose to do and act on and make excuses for himself even as others chose words for him?

People when Wei Wuxian rightfully defends himself and then follows the Golden Rule and give them the reciprocity they earned
