#tune back in for more yi city ramblings in a minute

Rereading this part of mdzs for no particular reason (😇) and laughing so hard bc

- Ppl really overstate the degree to which post-rez wwx is just a silly goofy innocent twink like. here he is spouting off a yllz style torture fantasy in his head unprompted. BRO'S STILL GOT IT

- he hated xue yang SO much from the moment he heard about him lmfao!! the diff between his attitude on XY vs his attitude on any other antagonist he meets post-rez is always interesting to me. i mean the first thing wwx heard of him is "oh yeah people somewhat blame you for his evil acts bc he was using the techniques you developed also oh yeah he rebuilt your doomsday weapon that you thought you destroyed and no one had to worry about anymore". tbh i do think wwx felt somewhat responsible

- "this little punk is out here doing disproportionate retribution on people >:( what if I did disproportionate retribution on HIM" ok, not getting into debate on the jianghu's opinion on the morality of torture, or whether it can be considered proportionate to anything. from MY perspective it's rly funny

- "Rip to people who don't run off in singleminded bloody revenge on the ppl who hurt their family out of consideration of their remaining family, but I'm different." + specifically referring to this as "dragging an opponent down with you". Never considered it from this angle before but wwx is pretty clearly reminded of the massacre of the Jiangs while empathizing with Chang Ping here. The subconscious(?) recognition from wwx that his revenge was destructive to himself and his loved ones I also find really interesting
