even if basen is always gonna be a side character i love him... his gimmick of herculean strength is literally always a gag and yet he struggles so much because of it. his buttons are fun to press and he doesn't have just two unlike lahans older brother (ok he has about 3). he still has a baby face and is 19 and still hasn't gotten laid in a setting where most people have at least had sex if not children a couple years earlier. guy got unwanted advances from jinshi bc he misunderstood it as some kind of normal duel instead of romance power struggles. can lecture maomao on a detailed history of li's founding (probably rote memory he was ordered to learn), but otherwise a bit too naive and oblivious and unsubtle. loyal to a fault. he described aduo as a proud hunting dog (what's jinshi then??). has a complex abt women that hes slowly working on. single dad to a duck that got his love life together and is constantly in danger of being cooked. how is it to have your dad be one of your superiors and your milk brother be another and you could beat both of them in brute strength but not in cleverness?? also how is it falling in love at first sight and sacrificing everything for someone you've barely talked to? how is it being raised by your sister bc your mom is busy with the emperor's younger brother and then serving the guy you were milk brothers w and grew up with
edit: anyways Basen likers hmu im always looking for side character enjoyers
#love letter to this hopeless kid let me pinch his cheeks and ruffle his hair#i can also force many headcanoned complexes onto him srry. born to enjoy main storyline forced to like side character#anyways i doubt we'll get any more significant parts w him but i enjoy his appearances all the same. valued member of ma family shenanigans#the apothecary diaries#my post#basen#knh spoilers#in the end all my thoughts circle back to โwow this kid is so naive/oblivious! relatable!โ goes back to bullying him affectionately#love at first sight is still crazy though. good for him but ill never understand that#ahโฆ will stop posting my unhinged ramblings in the main tag soon i promise
