The Fics For Palestine Project Has Just Gone Through An Expansion! When We Created It, We Wanted The

The Fics For Palestine project has just gone through an expansion! When we created it, we wanted the project to reach as many people as possible, so now that it's stable, we decided to add a few more fandoms.

A reminder of how the project works, since this will be our new pinned post: we're a fanfiction-based fundraiser for Palestine that's both up on Twitter and here on Tumblr. You can support the project by:

Sharing our posts;

Donating (and, in exchange, getting a fanfic written just for you);

Joining us as a writer.

You can both request your fanfic and become a writer for the project by completing different sections of this form. You can also become a writer for the project by telling us of your interest on DMs (both here and on Twitter). If you don't have a Twitter account to put in the form, your Tumblr blog will work just fine.

We'll be accepting donations for:

Care For Gaza

Randomized Palestinian GoFundMe

Feel free to DM us or reply to this post if you have any further questions!

Eleanor update! This box is NOT for beans. NO beans inside the box.

Do you believe Jin Guangyao killed Jin Rusong? And I don't mean "is he ultimately responsible" or "how much of the guilt should he carry," although those are interesting questions too; I mead do you think he actively with his own two hands murdered his son? Because I did not get that impression at all, but I seem to be alone in that.

I haven’t answered a textual ask in a while, but I’ll give it my best shot, and I very much appreciate you separating out those questions, because I think it’s an important part of looking at this issue. You're certainly not alone, even if this company is smaller than I wish were.

Short answer: No, I don’t think JGY killed JRS.

Longer answer: In a range of scenarios that I consider to be consistent with canon, there’s definitely an argument to be made for some of them having JGY involved in JRS’ death to some degree or other. That said, given the information we have, JGY actually killing him seems unlikely. Here’s a brief rundown:

From everything we’re told, the official story of how JRS died is extremely plausible, and makes a lot of sense given what we know about cultivation society, JGY, and the watchtower project.

The main “evidence” for JGY killing JRS is brought up in a discussion that is pretty clearly presented as one of the text’s many examples of rumour-mongering; JGY is not present to defend himself, and we see the snowball effect of how people are willing to believe anything, no matter how outlandish, which is a major theme of the narrative.

When JGY is present to defend himself, what he has to say about the matter is strangely inconclusive, especially in light of what he does expand on in the temple; JGY explains a number of things in the temple sequence, including not denying anything about his father, but he does not address JRS’ death.

He’s also vague about it in his conversation with QS, and I don’t want to rely too much on phrasing since most people on here are interacting with a translation, but, even so, nothing he says is an actual admission of killing JRS.

Yes, JRS is included on the list of people JGY has “killed” at the end, but this list cannot be taken literally, since it also includes people we know JGY did not kill, as QS killed herself and WWX killed JZX.

As to the last point, I think it’s pretty clear that this list is supposed to function as a kind of sweeping “fine, I did every bad thing, but I still would never, etc,” but at most it can be read as a list of “deaths JGY feels responsible for,” which, as you so rightly point out, is a separate issue. Any responsibility JGY may or may not bear for JRS’ death is certainly interesting to speculate about, but it can only be speculation because of the limited information we have to go on, including almost nothing from JGY himself, which is not the case with many of the other matters in question.

At the very least, one cannot use the text to prove JGY did kill JRS, but while one also cannot use the text to prove he didn't, I think the text, taken as a whole, points to JGY not killing JRS as the most probable conclusion.

This is making me doubt reality
