Page One

Ch. 13 Summary: The Western European country of Lapona* is known as the 'Wealthiest country in the world'. Jin Kamurai, son of the Chief Cabinet Secretary, is entrusted the essential task of hosting and attending a banquet for Lapona's reigning monarch, Gaspard, and the royal family. The MC, alongside Kaito, Lucas, and Tohma, attend the party as servants of the Kamurai Family. However, it seems that the true reason for Gaspard's visit is to 'find a way to break a curse'… *Lapona is rendered in katakana as 'Rapona'. I have chosen Lapona over Rapona due to other Western European countries' names, as I think this is closest. As far as I know, this doesn't exist irl.

Outfit Blurb: At Gaspard's daughter's request, Frostheim have been dressed in accordance to Masquerade Ball dress code rules. Please take a look at their bewitchingly beautiful outfits♥️

Page Two

Screaming Kaito Blurb: A top-secret investigation at the banquet! In order to investigate the incognito arrival of the Royal Family, the Frostheim students head to the banquet. Gaspard's children reveal more circumstances around Gaspard's sickly appearance, saying: 'He's afraid of mirrors'….? *This could be like. Afraid of his own reflection in particular but also mirrors in general? tl;dr Gaspard is sick and his kids say he doesn't like mirrors anymore

Mirror Blurb: A sinister rumour; 'The Family Has Been Cursed' Gaspard's hobby is collecting both cursed and blessed* objects, but could there be an anomaly lurking within his collection? According to Lucas's investigation, the area around the Royal Family has recently experienced an incredible amount of deaths, leading the people to believe that 'the family has been cursed'. *I used blessed to contrast w cursed, but he basically collects cursed objects, protective charms, protective objects etc. Quote: If that's the case…. the problem truly is this mirror here.

Jin Smoke Quote: I can't say for certain yet, but there's definitely something going on.

Jin Mirror Blurb: Jin Kamurai: The son of the Chief Cabinet Secretary, as well as the son of the President of the Anomalous Investigation Institute's Japan Branch. Due to the importance of political relationships on this mission, his own dorm, Frostheim, are the only ones capable of completing it. But during this task, Jin looks into a mirror, and in the reflection he sees is…?* *The grammar implies this is a Bad Thing To See lmfao Quote: … 'A low-level anomaly', huh? Don't make me laugh*. *Pretty sure this is the intent. I think this is the anomaly saying it and not Jin. I think. Either way, I think the idea is the same regardless of if it's Jin or the anomaly.

I'm sorry but no one is ever going to convince me that #justice prevails at the end of mdzs (even the untamed), everyone seems so freaking sad about the events that unfolded. no one is going to convince me that nhs actually found satisfaction in the way jgy & nmj are now forever just chilling in a coffin, no peace whatsoever. jgy was someone who genuinely cared for nhs and i feel it goes vice versa. Don't even get me started on Jin Ling, that child is devastated, and then having to have dealings with the man that was indirectly/directly involved with your uncles death and that even depends on if nhs picks up the slack as sect leader cause huan and jiggy were doing the work for him.

The watchtowers probably going to get disbanded, don't even know what's going on with the Nie clan, Jing lin being forced to play the role of leader so early on in his life. This was not triumphant it felt so very depressing, like damn.

i mean you're preaching to the choir here, anon, i'm in agreement with you. the only people who are happy after the guanyin temple sequence concludes are wangxian, and i think it is entirely reasonable to presume that a lot of their happiness in that moment is a direct result of getting to fuck nasty. 🤷‍♀️ good for them, i guess.

HII please explain xianyao i am very intrigued by what you reblogged 🙇

OMG HAPPILY. So this won't be 100% comprehensive and may be a little incoherent because I am trying to get horizontal but so it goes

I am being a bit deceptive with the name – I don't actually ship them romanticsexually (I'm not opposed to it but even before the fact that I'm mostly interested in them being postcanon and WWX being in MXY's body makes it a no both for me and for JGY, my muses/ideas of them are just NOT into each other in that dimension), but I care . SAUR much abt them

So the thing is like . They pretty much never actually talk but JGY is kind of The most critical WWX parallel/foil in the narrative I would argue (unless we're counting LWJ who is the love interest), and they're kind of constantly ~in conversation on a narrative level – JGY's lot in life post-timeskip contrasted to MXY's and thus current WWX's but also especially as the plot goes on we get more comparisons wrt their origins, the ways they're dismissed, their relationships (WANGXIAN-XIYAO PARALLELS 4EVAR!!!!!!, to name the most significant but not only), and, most sharply, their downfalls. WWX, even as she agrees that JGY needs to be stopped, directly notes how the way the jianghu turns on JGY is chillingly familiar! And in the book from jump that kind of turning is regarded as functionally the same kind of dehumanization as ~pedestalization in a way. MXTX is so interested in how being in the public eye is kind of inherently dehumanizing in general, and in specific with how JGY's and WWX's pasts stick to them that effect is only redoubled – this is why I also call the dynamic shortlivedduo, after JGY's big speech in the temple, one of the few scenes they talk – JGY states frankly to WWX what the narrative has already been saying, that while WWX did some atrocities, that's not what matters, and the fact that she was misblamed isn't actually an anomaly – "that's just how you are," "you offend people wherever you go". And he in this speech places that on WWX's irreverence, and names that as the reason "people like [her] are destined to have a short life," but he's wrong, and he knows he's wrong. The actual gist of what he says to WWX is that she's a convenient scapegoat and that her being made into a sin eater is inevitable. And then fifteen minutes later he dies, and is regarded as the jianghu's new sin eater lol . And to pull further on that thread: WWX's irreverence and courage is the biggest foil point for them . JGY complies where WWX rebels; "it's exactly because he's [sic] right that he shouldn't say it"; that's the thing that makes them different, but it doesn't actually, because at the end of the day JGY is still as dehumanized by and disposable to the society he tries please as WWX ever was. Bc society, esp society as written in MDZS, is built to dehumanize people, especially people like him and WWX and MXY and XY. And that's the big lie! That's the big tragedy! JGY tried to be good by that society's standards his whole life but what he does doesn't actually matter and in many cases that priority is what limits his choices and drives him to sacrifice anything and anyone on the altar of that society until it's his turn to be sacrificed. And that's why I go so hard saying he's gay and homophobic

But more to the point . As I said WWX's big foil point to him is that she's willing to rebel where he isn't. She is willing and able to not succumb to learned helplessness and respectability when she sees injustice. And this isn't always effective, and it won't save the world, but it matters.

Like the post I rbed says . Especially after the hard lessons learned during and after Sunshot Wei Wuxian is willing to treat most anyone like a person and that's one of if not the primary narrative virtue most important to her arc .

JGY has spent frankly his entire life with the sharp knowledge that not everybody gets to be equally treated as a person, and certainly not as a person deserving of dignity or life. All privileges of personhood can be revoked at any time when it is convenient to those wielding social power – JGY has been victim and perpetrator of this both and the brutal and helpless acceptance of this is, again, what dooms him. Looking at the people in his life who matter to him too it's people who specifically don't mistreat him for that – LXC, QS, and SMS are obvious, but NMJ too is distinctly ~rigidly fair and never claims JGY is less worthy of the privileges of personhood until he is deep into qi deviation, and while we don't see much of his dynamic with NHS I think it's of note that NHS never treats him distinctly differently from how he treats LXC or NMJ, and that NHS is generally as a character much more cavalier abt the societal standards that tend to demean JGY. We don't see JGY with XY much or with MXY at all but XY regards him with pretty much as much dignity as XY is capable of and we do get that MXY to at least some extent looked up to him. JGY is drawn to and gets along with people who explicitly do not treat his personhood as conditional (wowwww so evil and sinister I know right (sorry... my apologism demons))

And that's what postcanon Xianyao is all about. 2 me. The fact that WWX recognizes the mechanisms that kill (or almost kill depending on the nature of whatever mechanism one is using to have JGY around) JGY. The fact that if anyone's capable of offering JGY an alternative to the paradigm JGY has bowed to for most of his life it's WWX. I don't think either of them necessarily like each other certainly not at first but I think that JGY's foil has something to teach him in that regard and I think WWX could be willing to do so. To treat him like a person. I think that kind of understanding and acceptance, even in absence of ~affection (honestly, especially in absence of that initially) is what JGY needs to start unlearning the shit that he destroys and betrayal himself for y'know? He needs to learn and start to internalize that dehumanization is not in fact a fundamental law of the world. WWX show him a better way. Blows up and dies

Other Xianyao thoughts: Everyone's said things abt the Yunmeng street kids parallels but that's also real. The fact that JGY's caution and diligence could also honestly be a solid influence on WWX and in terms of extending the themes of MDZS can tie back in to some of the ~social responsibility tht WWX is *free from* but maybe still shirking more than she should. Healing MXY's memory – JGY knew MXY in life where WWX never did and I think it's healing for both of them to unpack that. I think that as they do drift closer to actual friendship JGY starts calling WWX Wuxian in line with how he addresses NHS SMS MXY and sometimes XY by courtesy name

TL;DR: Jin Guangyao has wanted his whole life to be something other than the son of a whore and he was sold a lie about what that would mean, and Wei Wuxian's willingness to humanize The Enemy in contrast to their society's values can perhaps show him the actual way out

heihachi: returns in the most bullshit way imaginable

fans: that dlc story was alright. it's cool how heihachi returned <:)

jin: "redeemed" in the TK8 story after his character was ruined in TK6.

fans: i just think it's so bad how the story tries to redeem jin and make him out to be a good guy :/ like he was a super evil dude who killed millions he might as well be [insensitive reference to a real life dictator]

Would you say that Jin mori is an omnipotent bieng since he agreed to be a all powerful that creates balance throughout all the universe

Since it seems he can kill the fairies that are eating the universe (which were a damn pain in the ass on the Tathagata battle and they had already destroyed an universe), the series narrator said in the last episode "Taejin Park's age, Daewi and Mira child, having reached nirvana Mori Jin was capable of solving these problems easily" and, as you said, chose for himself to be all-powerful when XuanZang asked him what he wanted to do, I'd say that yes, he is omnipotent, not a perfet omtipotent being since it was said that he is ageing although slower than the others tho.

A very interesting question is how much of reality he could bent with his new power and how much power would be necessary to be called omnipotent. for example can he create things? can he cure illness? at least that last one is implied he can but it could be a wrong interpretation. Sadly the total capacity of his new powers isn't really touched upon the series finale.

Even so I would call him an omnipotent god since the definition of omnipotent is "having unlimited power" and I thing being "all-powerful" is a valid synonym.

Bount can manipulate Reishi and use it to heal / empower themselves but little known fact is that they can also manipulate Reishi to heal or empower others, too.

Normally;

this is all assuming that a Bount is within a realm where the concentration of Reishi in the atmosphere is high (Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, etc), but if a Bount draws Reishi into themselves, they can then in fact direct it into other Bount or non-Bount for healing or empowerment purposes through one of two ways. Either a Bount can indirectly channel the Reishi they are manipulating at a target individual, or they can more directly feed a target some of their blood, which will be infused with said Reishi-- both methods have their pros and cons.

The indirect method is quicker, and can be more easily utilized in fast pace combat situations, but the healing and empowering effects leave much to be desired. The indirect method is also less effective when used on other Bount, with it being far more practical for them to simply heal or empower themselves directly.

On the other hand, the direct method is a lot slower and cumbersome, what with a Bount having to cut themselves open and then steadily pour their blood into a targets mouth, but the healing and empowering effects are exceptional.

A Bount can almost bring someone back from the dead with the direct method, healing even the most grievous wounds and temporarily empowering a target far beyond their normal abilities.

Either method's effectiveness will also be influenced by a Bount's age, with older Bount being far better at utilizing manipulated Reishi in these manners.

Now, in regards to Jin specifically with this healing business;

he's of course a little special, and that's because Jin has something that most other Bount don't-- a Reishi and Reiryoku generating device that's been absorbed into his body, the Jokaisho. With the Jokaisho, Jin can heal and empower himself or others regardless of what realm he is in, because he can, whenever he wants, generate Reishi within himself.

Depending on how far along Jin is within his main verse at a given time, he may have to be more careful in how often he uses the Jokaisho (it can be fatal before its fully matured within him), but he still has tool at his disposal that can prove very useful to those around him, if he so chooses.

In non-bleach settings;

the same idea still follows, too, with Bount in general and with Jin and the Jokaisho, but its not 'Reishi' involved its 'insert magical or otherwise supernatural energy source' that can induce healing or empowerment (sometimes through the blood 😈, you know, real vampire shit).
