very incoherent ramblings and can you even call this analysis? about yexuan and little painter that’s been in the drafts for ages that is def not spoiler free pls look away

yexuan…yexuan…firstly if I’m gonna describe him, he is a character that is a walking contradiction. He is someone so cruel and yet so gentle, someone who cares so much to the point it can be almost like fanatism, and yet cares so little that if you are unimportant to his plan he will not even remember your name, he is someone very decisive and yet someone who hesitates often, he is a very complicated character who changed so much and yet changed so little throughout the story. He is like a peak of unclimbable mountain where if you attempt to climb said mountain, you will never ever be cable to climb down again.

as for little painter during his route you’ll have to tell me if she’s like this in other mls route, but she’s more straightforward with her affections, she is barely embarrassed and yexuan even mentions that she’s like a cat who shows her belly without any defense. As their relationship progresses you start noticing that she always chases after him, always wanna know where he is to the point that you can call her clingy on some stories.

At first glance, yexuan is a gentle doting lover, to the point people have said that he lost his edge once he entered his relationship with little painter, which is very funny because a lot of his stories are about him going somewhere to eliminate source of future problems, any future threats that can harm little painter. He never ever lost his edge he is always worried about their future and he never stop thinking about how should he protect her.

Another thing is that in their relationship, despite at first it looks like yexuan has more power in the relationship, even assuming that for a moment, it’s very wrong. From the very start it’s always little painter that holds the power over him, most of his long life he barely made a decision for himself. During his early days, he became a powerful traveller because that’s what someone else decided for him to do, and it’s the same as well when he became a prefect of the empire. He barely made any choice for himself, I guess you can say that entering a relationship with little painter is his very first choice he made for himself but is it really? Like I said earlier little painter pretty much has to chase him down, to be more accurate it his choice to be caged by little painter.

in spirit world little painter discovers his past and influences it, leading for him to embark on a very long journey so that she can reunite with him again, in ragnarok his trump card is that 707 will fall in love with little painter because he so sure that even if it another version of him, they will still fall in love with little painter once he enters the relationship with little painter, every decision every choices he makes are all about her, she is his sheath, his anchor and with out her he will be the sharpest sword, a weapon of destruction.

however in his eyes he is not a protagonist, it’s little painter, well, game wise she is but that’s why he never makes a decision for himself, for him hes just a support she’s the protagonist, the lead , she’s the one making decisions, he’s just there support those decisions.

Now I’m here to talk about what fucked me so bad next thing I know I’m more comfortable on spending money on this game, his mist story route. I won’t talk much about the plot, they save the world yada yada, I’m here to talk about the progress of their relationship during that route.

So they started sickening sweet on this story. Someone even said that when yexuan looks on his sculpture based of little painter, it’s pure admiration instead of calling her his wife or lover, it’s his dream lover. they basically act like a couple on their honeymoon phase during the start, but there is change, yexuan is someone who like being in control, and finally despite the danger he’s fine being not in control, what ever happens happens, and both of them gets separated, with little painter being the protagonist and yexuan becomes the writer of her story, with him being replaced the personification of every possibility he did not take on an attempt to free him from the cage of his own doing.

That fake yexuan asks little painter important questions. DOES she really knows yexuan? And she wasn’t able to answer. If she forces fake yexuan to bring back her lover yexuan she gets a bad end where she does get her back but they get caged on their own little perfect era where she only cares about her lover yexuan and not about yexuan himself to the point t hat he can only smile in loneliness. In another bad ending he admits that he’s happy she chose to stay because “…that in love he a dictator unwilling to admit that he’s a dictator “

Bad endings aside people constantly commented on their relationship there the time where someone ask to paint them together and instantly fake yexuan posed as her kneeling knight but when he ask to be paired alone, I really should not call him just fake yexuan lmao but when he posed alone he can’t decide another couple commented that they are very similar to them and btw said couple is a toxic couple where the girl only thinks of the guy as a decoration in her life. In a relationship both parties should just not think that only each other is their world is what I’m saying and that’s what’s happening in here. Their lives revolve around each other now to the point it’s unhealthy. The other person is not your whole world, each person is their own and should understand that so they can walk towards to the future side by side as equals. Another thing about yexuan is that he’s very willing to push himself to the corner, he is willing to die for little painter and that’s bad in here he finally learns to ask for her help so they can solve problems together, it took him a long time but he finally learns to depend on little painter as well. He finally started to think about himself, asking for some alone time so he can discover his own goals, no more just protecting little painter, and little painter is also learning to give him some me time alone as well!!! both of them are still very mutually horny over each other but atleast yexuan is not waiting for little painter to move first, damn this man he’s so repressed he makes me so ill

TLDR: I LOVE BOTH OF THEM I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IM SO INVESTED OVER A COUPLE
