I began following you because of your enlightened JGY takes and general thought-provoking meta, your off-the-chart quality shitposts, and the way that even when dissing bad anti-JGY takes, you do so with such detail and care they become almost another meta post on their own. Yours is one of the first blogs I started following when I arrived to the fandom months ago, looking for meta like yours that allowed me to form my own opinions and analyse the novel engaging with other people’s ideas. You’ve also helped me see other characters in a more nuanced way (ahem, NMJ, bc I kinda instantly latched onto him through fanon portrayal, and reading your posts made me realize that I mostly like being able to project my aroace mentally ill ass in fanon while hating how he behaves in canon), grow even fonder and more protective of JGY, and learn a whole bunch of things! So thank you a lot for sharing your hyperfixation with the lot of us!!!!
awwww heck!!!! you’re making me blush so damn hard. i’m extremely glad that my commentary has helped you in forming your own opinions about the book, because contrary to what some people believe about me, i don’t actually have any interest in telling other people what to think or how to feel about mdzs or any of the characters. i just want more people to willingly look beyond their own biases about the characters—and jin guangyao specifically—instead of doubling down when people disagree with them.
#that said#i have a new pet peeve when it comes to fandom discourse#and that pet peeve is lengthy ‘analytical essays’ that are written specifically to prove that a character is a bad person#/stares meaningfully at one specific reddit user who shall remain nameless#(blocking that user on reddit was the best decision i’ve made in recent fandom memory)#(if i have to read one more 5k word thinkpiece about how evil and duplicitous and manipulative jgy was#and how good and honest and virtuous snd unproblematic nmj was#i’m going to scream into a pillow i guess)#asks answered#salty peak sect 🧂
