there's a hazy, tangled up thread in my head that goes: cheng xin felt guilt over metaphorically selling her mother (yun tianming) to the brothel (space hell) -> she resolved not to make that mistake again -> when given the choice later, she keeps choosing the kind or ethical option over utilitarian "ends justify means" survival at all costs -> kept the kindness of humanity alive as opposed to blue space etc

though i don't want to attribute all that to cheng/yun because she was also just that kind of person before everything happened. does this make her writing any better? hm.

#rereading(listening) made me realize like 5 million things a whole month after i finished the book lmao turned off my brain the 1st time ig #i still don't understand wade though i just think he's mean. you could call him a utilitarian #to the core i guess. but ugh #like does he laugh at people's misfortune just because if he didnt he wouldnt have the strength to do terrible things to achieve his ends?#or what . no need to ruin other people's parties all the time idk .. some of his actions are so uncalled for jesus christ #三体 #my post #three body problem #every time i maintag my posts im like o no what if i get speared on a pike. o well #edit: minor adjustment I get wade’s character I guess but what I don’t get is all these ppl stanning him on weibo oh my god #I should stop looking at social media this is getting ridiculous. how can you pretend like he’s the most saintly man on earth or a savior o #Smth like girl. what
