I wonder if it's just a weird writing choice, or a weird but *significant* writing choice that Wu Xie is relaying Xiaoge's recollection of the Xisha expedition* from Chen Wenjing's point of view.
He's telling the reader stuff Xiaoge didn't notice at the time, and whenever the two split up, his narration follows Chen Wenjing, not Xiaoge.
*We know it's still his voice we're reading, because he throws in lines like 'and that's a direct quote!' when he wants to emphasise that Xiaoge literally said something, so we can assume he's paraphrasing and colouring in the rest.

WE NEED MORE MONSTERFUCKER WENCLAIR IN STREAMER ENID AU LORE— You mentioned that Glasses is a HUGE Wednesday Fan and is playing Yoko, that assumed, I feel like other fans and alike are also in the project and find out weird things about our favorite couple.
Some of them are just background actors and doing tiny gigs yet still catch a sight of the 9181827771 FOOT MONSTER suspiciously known as E. Addams and Miss Wednesday "I hate people" Addams herself being all sweet and shit. I just know that many people leaked stuff about them.
That being said, what would the cast interviews be like? Wednesday isn't that communicative and Enid is but how would she act next to her co-actors? Is she also the deep, dark, mysterious girl? Would Enid like Glasses? Would they remind Wenclair of their classmates? How would interview panels go? Since Enid is there, would she attend like all of them or just choose certain ones to go to?
Wednesday is probably seen as a legend. How do people feel seeing her with a newbie, no named, possibly monster being? How does her PR Team react to the monsterfucking allegations? Has E. Addams made any comment about the allegations? Has Wednesday responded? How about her fans like Endespair?
Someone on the set of the Untitled Movie Jenna recently acted on said that no one could take their eyes off her; When acting together, I'm sure Wenclair's chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS, is anyone mesmerized or impressed by their 'acting'?
Rumours about celebrities are always being spread— it wouldn't shock me if rumours about Wenclair DOING THE DEED ON SET ACTUALLY HAPPENED. I don't think they're that risky but if they were, I feel like they would be just like, "We were quiet though, and we never get caught!"
Fans can become crazy— what if they find Enid's old blog and find about Wenclair's sweet little relationship (of being besties and roomies) and history together? Will Wenclair be ever seen together outside of their job? Like paparazzi getting pictures of them doing normal stuff such as eating outside or buying groceries?
HOW DOD ALL OF THE CAST MEMBERS REACT WHEN THEY FIRST MET ENID? DID ANYTHING CHANGE AFTER A FEW MONTHS???? ARE WENCLAIR REALLU JUST GIVING US MONSTERFUCKER VIBES?????? WE NEED TO KNOWWWWW
Holy shit, U got no idea how excited I was to see such a long ask
Gimme a sec lemme use my braincells. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the peeps working on lunal curse are secret fans and admirers of Wednesday 💀
Not the random height for Enid, her og height was like 5'10 but rn it flipflopps bc the height diff is funny. There definitely is a lot of leaked photos, it's why despite Helios not being seen a lot for the trailers, people know that she's being played by E. Addams.
Idk abt cast interviews yet bc the show is still currently a wip, but there's a lot of new posts of people fangirling on being on set in some random forum somewhere.
Enid definitely likes glasses, she has that awkward flustered energy she could never see in yoko, it's pretty cute
Glasses is definitely passionate tho, so Enid respects the grind and she invited glasses for a breakfast someday.
For interviews, there's no way Wednesday is doing one without Enid. Before, she wouldn't even look at any official interview that wasn't just done on the spot and thus can't squeeze out off so producers just accept this newbie actor bc it means Wednesday Addams can be there.
I think interviews happen like... Midway through the show premiering or afterwards so people just really fawn over how excited Enid is for being there and the fact that Wednesday isn't that far apart from her. They're like clingy best friend goals! As some people say 😭
As for their chemistry, Helios and Viper gives a lot of unresolved sexual tension and it's low key suffocating on set when they're doing a scene
It turns off immediately when it's done however, bc Wenclair can't be far away for too long and they're just seen chatting and enjoying things together
Also E. Addams possibly being a monster can't even be considered. They see the teeth, the claws and the ears, it's hard to think she'd be anything but a werewolf
The PR team gave up and just goes with the cliche no response. Wednesday is known for making monster esque x normie shorts in her books, they can't say anything without potentially making the allegations worse.
Endespair's fans are definitely hyped asf at the rumor of Wednesday being a monsterfucker, theyre like 'one of us!' and some even say that endespair has a shot now.
Not Wenclair being said to do the deed on set.. Wednesday is shameless but she isn't going to expose Enid like that. They can be very intimate tho, like Wednesday has a hand under Enid's shirt or inside her pockets intimate. Not to mention the red marks that line Enid's arms or Wednesday's neck, the people on set learn to just be quiet
I FORGOT ENID HAD AN OLD BLOG.
I wouldn't be surprised if it got abandoned however :( their nevermore years was pretty stressful so Enid had other things to focus on. It definitely kick starts the theory that the forevermore series (aka the one based on Wenclair nevermore years) is just a retelling of Wednesday and E's school life.
Also yes, there definitely is a lot more pics of Enid and Wednesday hanging outside of work. If anything older pics of 'suitors' would resurface and make people realize that E had matching/similar scars, so they would go
'THEY KNEW EACH OTHER BEFORE THIS'
The cast meanwhile all have similar reactions to glasses. Enid came in rather late with Wednesday bc they both slept in, so the height diff kinda accentuated Enid's more monstrous features
They got more comfy as they continue filming but they definitely do side eyes when Enid yawns a lil bit too big and they catch sight of her fangs. It's also low key mesmerizing to see Enid's werewolf features appear during more intense scenes without need of effects

soooo many bluemaga posts on here boil down to "all these 18-year-olds opposing genocide should've just voted for hillary in 2016" as if 1. they even could've and 2. she didn't win the popular vote and get screwed over by the electoral college anyway????
like say what you will about the effectiveness of her campaign or the bullshit Bernie Bros voting for trump myth. she did get more votes. by more than a million.
you can blame flipfloppers in ohio or the fact that UW students couldnt expand their views 5 miles outside of laramie.
but all of that takes us back to the structural critique you're so desperate to avoid. abolish the electoral college. abolish gerrymandering. don't just shame people for being ambivalent about an election that's not for another six fucking months

When people talk about writing in games, they're often referring to narrative as a whole, and for a brief period Blizzard was actually great at that.
Starcraft 1 for example had some issues (Kerrigan, series-central face/heel flipflopper, is introduced with a sexual harassment joke) but it also had:
- Terran Campaign 1's 10-mission arc from "this government is oppressive" to "viva la revolution" to "shit, this new guy is going to be even worse" almost entirely through the strength of framing and context.
- The characterization of the Overmind as wholly justified from its own point of view, because it didn't really think of anyone else as people, and it had a really cool idea for an art project.
- The entire Queen of Blades betrayal, which is a single mission after nearly three FULL CAMPAIGNS of tension and mistrust. The player knows it's coming, they're invested in the characters they're about to betray, but it still feels incredible, and Raynor's "I'm the man who's gonna kill you someday" monologue is STILL top-tier because it's as weighty as it deserves to be, yet somehow manages to avoid being melodramatic.
It's not high art, but nobody acting in good faith is pretending it is. It's just characters acting like people, in narrative arcs reinforced by gameplay, with enough internal consistency to avoid distracting mistakes.
The point is, Blizzard eventually stopped doing that, and that's what people mean when they say Blizzard's writing has "gone downhill lately."
I'm willing to give anybody under the age of 35 the benefit of the doubt because they don't know any better, but it's wild to see folks of my generation argue with a straight face that Blizzard's writing has gone downhill lately. Like, no, buddy, Diablo's lore was not well-written – you were just fourteen.

carnival row really was so aesthetically beautiful and had so so much potential, it's sad to see how much of it was squandered by bad writing caused by premature cancellation and shitty politics
#personal#spoilers in tags#i cant believe they literally had a character ask her romantic interest to run away with her#and be met with ''i will not bc im important to u rn but ur a flipflopper and will abandon me once something shiny and new catches ur eye''#and then literally within 48hrs something new caught her attention and she DID go back on everything she'd said to her romantic interest#and then when she ended up not rly liking the new thing (bc she jumped into it without thinking) she abandoned that just as quickly#and then it just time skipped to their wedding w/o mentioning that last they saw each other they all but broke up#also one character had a plan that was like 'if i do this one (1) thing i essentially become the head of the govt and can change everything'#and it got thrown out after less than one attempt in exchange for violent revolution which is like. fine. HUGE body count but whatever#and then eventually there was a timeskip and suddenly it cut to them giving a speech to parliament#bc during the timeskip theyd done the plan and successfullybecome the head of the govt#but their speech was just ''you guys are bigots. i wanted to be the govthead to stop oppression. but you guys fucking suck.#that is why im resigning from my job as govthead w/o trying to change the oppression.#hopefully 1 day u'll stop being bigots long enough to elect another oppressed person to govthead. then They can stop the oppression. bye.''#and its like. im sure it felt good to tell them off but like. you couldve told them off without resigning#and u had the power to literlly change the laws to Immediately Stop Oppression. and u resigned on ur first day w/o doing Anything#and said in ur resignation you Wanted Oppression To Stop#you couldve singlehandedly moved the oppressed class leagues forward toward equality Overnight#but instead you said u hoped the bigots would pls someday (in the far future) realize theyre bigots and give oppressed ppl an inch or two#listen there are many pros and cons to trying to change the system from the inside#but i think we can all agree that uh. trying to do that requires actually yknow. being inside

Who is Lindsey Graham? Narrated by Geena Rocero | NowThis
Leningrad Lindsey, the guy who put the flop in flip-flop. The guy who once called tRump “nuts” and a “race baiting bigot”, but now powders his nose on his hind whiskers to get a free golf outing. The guy who has no loyalty to his friends and will turn on them to curry favor with the race baiting bigot. The once Russian war hawk who now pushes their propaganda against his one time friend he turned his back on. There must be a decent person who can represent the people of South Carolina. How about Jaime Harrison?
