i feel like no matter how often i read the novel, i still fall back into a default state that feeds off the show. not talking about characterization, vibe, or anything significant. more like the little details, plot points, backstories of side characters, and so on. for example, it hasnt been that long since i last read tyk, but between then and now i went back to thinking mhy is responsible for both cwn and axiang’s death, and that wen kexing takes his revenge on him both as a stand-in for axiang, but also because he lost his little sister because of this man, which isnt true, as i found out just now. i also forgot the atrociously different-to-woh detail about zzs’s sword; something woh handily embroidered a sect heirloom story around, and which i thought qhz might have gotten as a payment or smth from yby: not the case. when will this torment end? cry
#tian ya ke#does it have something to do with the fact that i consume woh verse in many ways beyond source material#while i consume tyk exclusively by reading tyk and interacting with tyk?#the thing is i dont think im alone in suffering from this phenomenon#ive seen other fans confuse these two canons. novel fans. fans speaking about tyk#its like there is a sort of. readiness to accept woh canon as The Canon#i dont mean that in any bad way#its moments like these that make me want to turn back time and to change the order of things#i love both canons in their own ways. i love them precicely for their differences#but when one constantly overlaps the other even when it has no buiness to do so#it really makes it agonizing to be a fan#sometimes i wish i had read the novel first#and discovered the show later#independently. ignorantly. without knowing one has to do with the other#and only dicsovering the link when im already emotionally invested and knee deep in the show#and would have realized instantly how dissimilar they are in the same moment i would find out about the link#it would have made things. easier#it would be like. consuming both things like the seperate stories they are#instead of being entangled in it like this#talking to the moon
