I Love How The Faux-politeness Of MDZS' Climax Takes Its Themes To Its Logical Conclusion. All Throughout,

I love how the faux-politeness of MDZS' climax takes its themes to its logical conclusion. All throughout, we've seem how sects and cultivators prioritise their reputations, seeking glory and status even when real lives are at danger, keeping up their appearances. We see that in the unwritten rule that major sects won't intervene in problems unless the prey is dangerous; we see it in how Lan Wangji is unique in the way he prioritises helping others over seeking glory; we see that in how the Wen situation plays out, with Wei Wuxian confronting the Jins about a concentration camp while they're focused on having a banquet.

So of course in the Guanyin Temple, even when Jin Guangyao is directly threatening people's lives, the interactions are polite! We're seeing what has always been present – the absolute disconnect between the actions and world of the Jianghu, and the real harm that real people are suffering through (both intentionally and not) as a result.

Lwj: I will but in ways you don't yet know

You know, I wonder what KinnPorsche the Series looked like to my non-BL mutuals. Uh, the short answer is Toxic Gay Mafia Drama. The long answer is long but here is a list of things that happened.

The main protagonist pisses in a fish pond, and as a punishment he gets put into a mermaid costume.

An important character is introduced working out butt-ass naked. This is not the last time this happens.

Traumatized man gets shown porn for the first time.

There is a blow job inside of a helicopter.

There is a supporting character with an Australian accent. No, he is not the character who is noted for speaking English.

There is a sex scene involving bread that exists purely to advertise said bread company (no I am not joking).

Secretly-Mafia singer gets turned on by fan's shrine to him.

He only sees said shrine because he broke into fan's room.

A dude spends his last moments lighting up a cigarette.

The tertiary couple only happens because one of them forces the other into a non-consensual pet play dynamic because he doesn't want to be lonely while blacklisted by the mafia.

The tertiary couple's first time together happens because of a hedgehog (they are the best written part of the show).

During the climatic final battle, the protagonist's love interest gropes his dick and calls it his lucky gun.

During the same climatic final battle, the secretly-mafia singer murders an entire bar of people to protect the fan who is too busy playing video games to notice the attempt on his life.

During the same climatic final battle, the 'owner' confesses his love to the 'pet' while the 'pet' is punching the fuck out of him. The 'pet' is sobbing and wailing while punching him (the 'pet' also shot him).

Yes, this all happens during the same show.

This show is a mess, and I love it.
