Dont Leave This In The Tags.

Don’t leave this in the tags.

So I follow the mdzs subreddit, perhaps cuz i like torturing myself (that place is filled with jc and jgy stans), recently there have been a few more people in it with actual reading comprehension tho which is nice.

But to the point, in the last few days there have been quite a bit of posts by jgy stans whining about “why do people hate on jgy so much, when other characters also committed crimes like wwx” and “jgy only killed nmj out of self defense because the man was always trying to kill him so it’s justified” oh and the best one “actually jgy is too compassionate, he didn’t kill qin su or sisi and his life would have been so much easier if he had”

So Jin Guangyao killed Nie Mingjue, ok we can give him that one. Was killing all those sex workers he used to rape his father justified? Was burning the sex workers alive in the brothel justified? Was killing the He Clan justified? He takes credit for killing Qin Su by purposely waving a knife in her face that amplifies negative emotions and also permanently traps the souls of its victims after she refused to accept that he knowingly pursued an incestuous relationship with her, was that justified? Was killing Jin Rusong justified? Imprisoning Sisi for life in the darkest corner of the Koi Tower dungeons, was that justified simply because he didn’t kill her?

And I know folks like to stan the rich and powerful, but hurting a rich person’s feelings or challenging their authority doesn’t count as a crime. Wei Wuxian did nothing wrong.

That’s a marriage proposal.

my boyfriend gifted me the sweetest, most thoughtful birthday gift I have ever received and I need the internet to hear wangxian played from a music box

ML in the webnovel novel makes a huge social gaffe, pissing off the FL’s mom, when the FL walks in: I’m saved!

Me, remembering the backstory of why she calls him her ex-husband: you’re screwed.

Seems like something up your alley.

I think people get mixed up a lot about what is fun and what is rewarding. These are two very different kinds of pleasure. You need to be able to tell them apart because if you don't have a balanced diet of both then it will fuck you up, and I mean that in a "known cause of persistent clinical depression" kind of way.

I genuinely think The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty/14th Year of Chenghua is the most egregious case of "Watch the show before you read the book or you'll be so disappointed"

Because the plot COMPLETELY diverges after the first case, with only some things even being remotely similar and not even the first cases having the same conclusion, so watching the show doesn't spoil anything in the book at all.

But if you're used to God of Solving Cases Tang Fan with his ethereal elegance, you will have such a hard time getting used to Whiny Foodie Sleuth Tang Fan in the show.

I love both versions and Whiny Foodie Sleuth Tang Fan is my special baby, but I don't think I've seen anybody yet who actually enjoyed the show all that much after they read the book.

On the other hand, I watched the show, became obsessed, read the book, really enjoyed it, and rewatched the show and I'm still really enjoying it.

It's just that none of these people are the same characters and none of the plot is remotely similar.
