HIII I HAVE A FIC IDEA

Ok so hadestown right. This follows the time loop theory:

After countless repeats of the same story, something changes. Something goes wrong. Either Orpheus or Eurydice gains sentience (I haven’t decided yet) and remembers how things end. They try everything in their power to curb fate, to stay away from the other, but it all ends the same. It would be about trying to take control over your own destiny and inevitability and what roads that could take someone down. Maybe enemies to lovers?? I think knowing what’s to come, one would be insistent on distancing themselves out of fear for the other’s life. Omg I can imagine the tragedy of after they fall in love because one of them knows how it’s going to go.

Just watched Cathexis and after Chakotay awakens from his coma, with both of Kathryn’s hands on his chest he says, “It’s like I never left.”

Which is the same thing he tells Kathryn on Cracked Mirror during their reunion. With her hand on his chest.

What a lovely parallel!

will he let me be?

does he love me?

does he love me too?

does he care for me?

God I can't get over how perfectly lacy by olivia rodrigo suits jiang cheng and wei wuxian so well? It literally drives me insane, the envy, the vague obsession, the homoroticism. I'd say the first chorus and second verse suit them most but the whole song works so well. Like jiang cheng singing the song and wei wuxian is lacy

Just God I don't know how to word it, the quiet caring, the obsession God that's all jiang cheng, and the slight sarcastic tone of "well, aren't you the greatest thing to ever exist" ain't that mummy and daddy issues jiang cheng projecting on wei wuxian just a teeny wee bit as a treat for me.

Just God, this song, as a whole, is for them.

Okay wait

Win as someone who is deeply self critical and very aware of what others think of him (see: rap competition) but also as someone who externalizes all of that, who expresses himself in bursts of anger and immediate action/reaction

versus Gun as someone who is a lot more carefree and unbothered by other's perspective of him but also as someone who internalizes everything, who is impulsive but doesn't react immediately

So I've been wondering about one particuar point on the "Jiang Cheng marriage recquirement" list and it's the one about low cultivation.

Now on its face, except for the "must be nice to jin ling" point, the whole thing just looks like the most standard list of "ideal wife characteristics under a patriarchal society." naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient, coming from a good family, voice not too loud, etc. This leads to either the interpretation that jiang cheng really wants that (doubt dot png) or just... put all the most stereotypical things on a list even though that's not what he really wants.

In that context "cultivation must not be too high" sounds like a typical "men are scared of women who are smarter/stronger" thing. you know, the dudes who feel 'intimidated' when their wife or girlfriend makes more money than them.

...Except wasn't Yanli openly mocked for her low cultivation? Like, wasn't one of the reasons Jin Zixuan was such an ass to her initially because he shallowly assumed her lower cultivation made her an unworthy marriage candidate? Jin Guangshan may hate women who can read but society overal doesn't give the impression that high cultivation in women is seen as something undesirable. I mean... a wife that never looks like she's over 20 even as she starts aging? yeah I have no problem believing a misogynistic society is okay with high cultivation.

So if it's not there just to fit the stereotypical standard of an ideal wife...

Jiang Cheng, are you just describing your sister?

LIke?? Every single point on this list applies to Yanli. All of them. I don't mean this in a freudian incest-y way but in a "jiang cheng are you so unaware of what you want in a partner you just took the only woman you've had an unambiguously good relationship with and hoped no one would notice???" way. Does he know the difference in what you should like about your sister and what you should like in a spouse? Is he even aware he's doing this? Jiang Cheng answer meeeee.
