#rf kuang owes me therapy for her masterpieces

[adalinevanala]

i weep for chen kitay, for the future he could’ve had, if it were not for mugen or daji or vaisra or rin. i weep for the scholar that he could’ve been. how tragic that chen kitay could’ve been one of the greatest scholars, writers, philosophers, thinkers of his time — how his words could’ve influenced generations to come, immortalized in time. and yet, he is but a footnote in nikan’s history; a man who chose to follow fang runin to the grave the moment he tied his soul to hers.

i weep for all the chen kitays of the world; whose purpose is overwritten by war, by death, by suffering. how many more thinkers, scholars, creatives, and more could we have?
