every few months I feel like making a post like 'physical weakness or disability isn't a character flaw to be fixed in fanon 😭 its not inherently feminist for women to simply punch good! making jyl a powerful fighter but affording her no inner life, opinions, personal goals, desires, or internal conflict is doing her a greater disservice than incorporating her physical weakness and her knowledge of her own status as aspects of a fully fleshed out character living in a particular setting and interacting with other characters.'

#I love women who fight so I always feel weird arguing that jyl shouldn't #but she's a weak cultivator and that doesn't have to make her a bad or shallow character...#I don't think I'd mind as much if ppl actually paid attention to her as a person when they made her stronger in fics #but they just do it to like...look cool...#feels like I'm watchint a marvel movie innit.#where's jyl!!!#she ran into a battlefield tonsave her #little brother even after he killed her husband. unarmed! because she loved him!#she DIED for him! she knew she had no power to fight anyone!#just as she knew her social status was precarious but she still took zixun down for daring to disrespect HER didi #it MATTERS that she's not strong or powerful or respected in the plot. bc she STILL stands up for wwx!#puts both jc and lwj to shame. smh #cql txp
