Golden Child vs Scapegoat (Pre-Canon)

[set in the Black Myth, New Gods AU.]

I said Fire and Ice was my Catradora.

The main conflict between Ao Bing/De Zheng and Nezha/Li Yunxiang is effectively Adora vs Catra, with a twist.

Basically, Ao Bing is the Adora, while Nezha is the Catra.

To explain this, I'm going to reference somethings I noticed (and used) from Nezha 2019.

[WARNING: mentions of child abuse, racism, infanticide, hints at genocide]

Ao Bing: the Golden Child

Something that was handled really well in Nezha 2019 (and the manhua Ao Bing Zhuan) was the subtle effects of Ao Bing's abuse.

You cannot tell me that what Ao Guang and Shen Gongbao did wasn't abuse.

Raising a child to be a weapon Beating it into his head that he needs to succeed or else Putting the fate & advancement of an entire species on his shoulders Forcing him to kill his friend's family Grabbing & shaking the child Guilt-tripping him into killing people Mocking him on the consequences of his choices (and subsequently mocking his independence)

Shen Gongbao and Ao Guang's reaction when Ao Bing said, "I made a friend" is extremely telling.

First, it's concern that someone might learn about Ao Bing's identity as the Spirit Pearl.

Dragons are seen as demonic/demon-kin (the villagers call Ao Bing 妖龙 yāolóng "Demonic Dragon"), and he is immediately persecuted and threatened. Taiyi even threatens to report Ao Bing to the Heavenly Court, which would mean that the entire Dragon Clan could risk being killed.

But the concern isn't about Ao Bing's well-being, but about how all their plans for the Spirit Pearl could easily fall apart.

Then, it's concern that this friendship is a "distraction" from Ao Bing's purpose.

Ao Guang chastises his son for being "distracted", reminding Ao Bing of his responsibilities and that the weight of the Dragon Clan is on his shoulders.

It's very telling that Ao Bing is hesitant to ask his master and father for anything. Yes, maybe it's the classic "Asian Parent-Child" anxiety.

But it also seems like he's afraid of what his father and master might say. He's immediately grateful, and gets the hell out of there before Shen Gongbao can take it back.

It's played for laughs, but you can see the relief and anxiety in Ao Bing's animation. He genuinely didn't think that his master would accept, and might even punish him for asking.

Shen Gongbao and Ao Guang saw Ao Bing as a tool first, and a person (a son) as a distant second.

Shen Gongbao even pushes his insecurities onto Ao Bing, grabbing and shaking a three-year-old for the crime of being confused.

When Ao Bing tries to save Nezha's family, Shen Gongbao mocks him when it goes wrong. Shen Gongbao implicitly puts the blame on Ao Bing, saying that because the boy screwed up, now there will be more casualties, as if Shen Gongbao didn't cause the very problem in the first place.

Shen Gongbao puts all the blame on Ao Bing, making the boy feel guilty, so that Ao Bing is easier to manipulate. He forces the boy to chose between "want (to save Nezha's family)" and "need (to elevate the Dragon Clan)".

Ao Bing is a tyke bomb raised as a weapon with high expectations and a guilt-responsibility complex, to serve the authority figures in their ascension.

Does this sound familiar?

Nezha: the Scapegoat

Nezha and Li Jing have a much better relationship (which I love when it's done correctly) in Nezha 2019 than they did in Investiture of the Gods...

But there is still something to be said about the way he is raised.

He was isolated his whole life, not allowed to interact with other people. He's a three-year-old child, so he wouldn't understand the depth of why he's isolated. Instead, he sees this as an unfair punishment for existing.

Li Jing can be harsh and demanding, but he's also a panicking father who is trying to live with the fact that his son is a demonic entity that is destined to die on his third birthday.

Taiyi Zhenren isn't the ideal mentor, but he obviously cares about Nezha and the Li Clan (probably compounded by the guilt that he was responsible for Nezha "being robbed" of his destiny and he was trying to kill baby Nezha).

But, no one is giving Nezha any direction. They point out his flaws and mistakes in training, but they provide no real direction for how he can improve.

When Nezha gets frustrated and refuses to listen, Li Jing loses his temper and takes away his weapons (his "toys"), forcing his son to sit through meditation to "think about what you've done" (this punishment never works, btw).

In Nezha's mind, this is punishment for "trying".

Based on that training session, it seems that this has been going on for quite some time, meaning Nezha has spent ~2 years being bombarded with criticisms whenever he tries.

As a result, Nezha gives up. He becomes a slacker, seemingly uncaring and carefree. It's a mask to cover how much the criticism hurts.

He's also incredibly lonely, but is unable to ask for companionship. Yes, it's because his father promised to keep the "Demon Child" locked up to keep ChengTang Pass safe. But Nezha doesn’t understand this, so it feels like more punishment.

Nezha wants love, but refuses to ask for it, since it would feel like "giving in", like showing weakness. If he asks and caves in, he feels like he's "losing".

He's been "losing" since day one, punished for existing, so why would he accept more loses?

He also has emotional outbursts in moments of vulnerability (a history of them, judging by the damage to the Li Manor). He's scared of being seen as "weak", and he expects Ao Bing to laugh at him for his display.

Nezha is a child who is never allowed to feel like he's done right, instead he is constantly vilified and punished for seemingly everything, so he pushes back aggressively.

Does this sound (somewhat) familiar?

i watched a friends episode this morning and realized something that some people will walk with me, some will call me crazy. chose your fighter and hear me out.

in "the one with the routine", rachel, phoebe and chandler went searching for the christmas gifts that monica bought for them. I won't get deep into the context but (since it´s one of the places they search for the gifts and it´s the place where chandler hid the gifts he bought for them) the word "closet" is said multiple times. they are wearing this palette during the whole thing, by the way.

important to note that in this specifc shot the girls are laughing about an "embarassing" item they found in chandler's old closet. yes, it´s one of the "chandler is gay" "jokes" but I don't think that it´s a joke. and I don't think he's gay either. in case it isn't clear enough, those are the exact colors of the bi flag.

"the show is old, they would never do that on purpose" yeah, maybe. but it's funny to me how the flag was designed in 1998 and this episode came out in 1999. and, besides, that's what queer-coding is about. and chandler definitely is queer-coded.

"ok, but he loves monica. he can't be bi" SO, THERE'S THIS THING
