also I think I have identified what articulation is being written down as "mn" in fics all the time, thank you wen ning for your helpful illustrations
Yes, I think WN says this far more than LWJ does!
also however I see that jyl did all the actual functional parenting that wwx and jc received, which is a lot of pressure to put on someone who is herself a child
Right? I have SO many feelings about her as surrogate parent and how unfair that is to her but also...what else was she supposed to do?
yupppp I continue to be Upset about everything going on, aughhhh, everyone is saying things but nobody is Communicating
THE STORY of CQL tbh.
I wonder if jgy is glad he has a face that lends himself to looking young/cute/innocent, or if he wishes he had a different kind of face that he could do different things with. these thoughts brought to you by jgy's dimples
I know! I am willing to bet he relishes it sometimes and hates it others.
OH. It is CANON that jc and wwx have been planning their sister's wedding since childhood! AMAZING.
This is not a thing I'd considered about the way you do fandom-first-then-canon, but of course you would often have trouble knowing what's canon from what's fanon! Fascinating!
all those candles might be very atmospheric, but it seems like a rather wasteful use for a group of refugee subsistence farmers without money!
I really love that wwx and wq have this really close and emotionally intense and complicated relationship and it's not even a little bit romantic/sexual
YES.
jin ling and jiang cheng so clearly have the same communication style as each other and it's amazing watching them interact
IMAGINE BEING RAISED BY JC AND JYG.
NO, NO WAY, the chicken-stealing while drunk is CANON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#cql I adore these moments, where I discover something I was absolutely convinced was merely a fun bit of fanon is in fact DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE MATERIAL, NOTHING BUT 100% TRUTH
This makes me SO happy!
idk why this is so much harder for me than all the other really horrible things that happen in this show but HERE WE ARE
That specific kind of awful IS so much worse than other kinds!
honestly, the idea that you could listen to the same piece of music every day for months and not NOTICE that it's slightly different when it's played in front of someone else, it just seems fake to me. Nmj REALLY not a music person I guess!!
Music blind? Deaf, I guess?
(Btw, I have learned from this post that you can easily read emotions on faces, you just can't always distinguish one face from another. So interesting!)
I love all four the main juniors SO MUCH. So much!
ME TOO.
holy shit the golden core reveal ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN CANON???!!?!?!!?!!!!!
I am shrieking at the idea of you discovering this!
the parenting wwx and jc got sure fucked both of them up
This is the thing that kills me about them. Their love for each other is so pure, but it's warped by that parenting and the way they were constantly compared. And also by the fact that they're both SO bad at communicating. It's tragic in a classic Greek tragedy kind of way.
though I absolutely believe jgy believes he's never done any harm to lxc, and that he maybe even really means this
Agreed.
Thank you for sharing all this! I very much enjoyed revisiting the show through you!

Can you believe that help my family is dying! predates CQL???
