like the wu ming reveal was all very nice but since this all happened nearly a thousand years before the events of books 1, 3, and 5 its like...okay? everything about their relationship in the flashback I either found creepy or didn't care about 😭 ik some fans like the idea of a character so loyal he's willing to destroy a whole country on the word of his god slash crush but umm I do not! also hc disguising himself as the child who was hanging out with xl was so weird why did he do that. age gap creepiness aside it was just stupid and eliminated a chatacter I was really excited about. and it pissed me off when he kicked qyz off the sedan chair like let him sit!!! his single-minded focus on xl got so so old and his insistence on inserting himself everywhere was intrusive and annoying! to me. got real tired of his 'fuck everyone else I got dianxia' mindset. immature. annoying. and unfair

#lwj is reserved and cool to strangers but hes not actively malicious or sadistic #he cares about his family and home and students and music #he does ignore ppl more than I'd like but hes not actively dismissive like hc often is #a small moment from the book I liked was when he first encountered 'mxy' he nodded respectfully in acknowledgement #obvi this doesnt mean mdzs or the writing for him isnt homophobic. it is. it has its own issues. Ive never even reread mdzs #but I think tgcf is just a less serious and more shallow and wishy-washy romance at its core #AND lwj is literally less petty and vengeful thab hc is even tho what jc allegedly did was way worse than what fxmq did #and lwj has literally a reputation for being petty so it doesn't seem fair that hc doesn't #actually tho I think much of that came from drama viewers who saw a gay man being kind of a dick to the guy who 1. was a dick to him first #and 2. suicide baited his loved one so I maintain thats reasonable #hes not unfair or short w anyone else #wait I lost my sentence structure. drama viewers labelled him as petty for being reasonably dickish to the dude he hates for good reason #which IS homophobic. but the comparative scale of mqfx's offenses + the fact that it happened so long ago and xl has long since recovered #makes hc look way more petty and unreasonable. but its not reflected in fan treatment or desc of him. tbf he gets over it by the end tho #ik cunty is a fun word but its not the only accurate one #tgcf txp #mdzs txp
