Corn sticks: A metaphor for how we love
In episode 19 we are shown contrasts. Wang Zhen reminds Wang Shuo of when they were kids.
If we think about that corn stick as a metaphor for how we love, we can see that Wang Shuo does not like to share. He either wants all of it or to know that nobody gets any of it.
Which is exactly what happened with Wang Shuo and Chi Cheng. He either wanted Chi Cheng all to himself, or no one could have him. And Wang Zhen points out that is possession rather than love.
Later, we see Wang Zhen pose the same metaphor to Wu Suo Wei.
He breaks off the small part of the corn stick and tells Wang Zhen to have the bigger portion. Wang Zhen responds
And then Wu Suo Wei replies
Because for Wu Suo Wei, it's not about possession. It's about appreciating what you have, being willing to share, and waiting patiently. And that's why Wang Zhen tells him

now that wei wei and chi are back together healing and having fun by terrorizing their besties with the worst plans. and besides the other two's menacing, chengyu and shuai shuai are happily planning their future together. (and, sadly, even mrs wu is gone, at peace with her husband) i can take a moment, before wu suowei's kidnapping, to try once again to figure out what the hell is up with wang zhen and wang shuo.
there are so many layers of codependency between them. i've seen some posts talking about how possessive wang shuo is, he’d rather have all or nothing, no matter the cost. and we've seen the damage that reeked on chi cheng and guo chengyu, even with him not around. but wang zhen has been dealing with it since they were children. having to give everything, or watch it be destroyed. adding the suggestion that he's only allowed to stay because of wang shuo, and he truly had no one else.
zhen looks sad when shuo says he's never been in love. i think that's because he's never had the chance. not with anyone but wang shuo.
the twist cycle of possession and violence these two locked into at such an early age, warped them into something that can only fit together.
and they do love each other, in some strange, dark way. wang shuo biting zhen, though ridiculous and dramatic, is thematic no different than wu suowei doing the same to chi cheng. it's a claiming, when one was jealous of the other. just like wang zhen being willing to bait shuo and draw his anger, he crumbles in the face of him truly hurting. zhen had to look away when shuo was crying on his shoulder, the same way chi cheng could bear to see his wei wei cry.
i don't know what's supposed to happen between them, or if we'll even see them again. but now that i think wang shuo is finally letting go of chi cheng, he can start healing, and hopefully wang zhen will as well. maybe they'll find a non-violent (to each other) way to communicate.

I love the glimpses we see of the staff in the BTS. They are either overly excited or just cool as cucumbers telling the actors to do this, do that, even acting out the scenes themselves to show them XD

I’ve for the longest time wanted to figure out why, Wang Shuo, out of all the characters on this show, has caused me to have such a visceral reaction to wanting to be protective of him. Like I can’t say it’s because of his trauma cause I mean all these characters have trauma. But I think I figured out why after Ep. 19. & 20.
It’s due to the show narrative that treats him, if we are being honest here, like a punching bag. And a punching bag that deserves to be constantly punched with no breather. He had to deal with a boyfriend that couldn’t just fucking love him without his codependency to his friend. Just wanting reassurance from him that no he didn’t love Guo like that, not getting but instead getting his boyfriend saying Guo was the most important to him,
To having to watch his boyfriend get drunk and then kiss said best friend. And while the show only showed two kisses, we can be assured they didn’t do it just those two times. And much like this fandom, probably excusing the kisses as just drunken behaviors.
To having to deal with Guo constantly be there all the time but never once stopping to think to himself that maybe he should back off a bit and give these two space to be. Nor going to Chi and saying “Hey. We need to like draw a line here because we are kind of being too parasitic right now with each other.
(Wish to add to that, if Guo honestly felt that he never slept with Shuo and so didn’t tell Chi because he wanted Chi away from Shuo and his drama and the negative impact that was having on Chi like a lot of fans were saying was the reason, then why just not tell your best friend to break up with the guy instead of letting the relationship fester for 3 years. With how their relationship was, I’m pretty sure Chi would had listened and done just that. But I digress.)
To a brother that never truly acted like brother to Shuo. Beating your brother in front of his bullies instead of protecting him. Choke holding your brother to force him to take his Bipolar medicine. To knocking your brother out for no reason whatsoever. Still not over that scene when Chi x Shuo are first alone. Was that shit even necessarily? Shuo wasn’t being a danger to Chi or himself for Zhen to have to resort to that form of physicality to take Shuo home.
Another part is the fandom itself. Not saying all of the fandom is like this.
But much of them treat Shuo as a punching bag. Where his actions are worse than the others even if the tool he’s using is the same.
For example his “manipulation” with fans is far worse than the core 4. I haven’t seen much outrage or anger at some of the things Wei was doing to get Xiao to sleep with Guo. Pretending your boyfriend is abusing you, Pretending a s*ic*de attempt. Getting your boyfriend to pretend he wants to sleep with Xiao (and frankly Xiao was trembling in fear in the chair with the way Chi was crowding him. Just because he found out he wasn’t GR doesn’t mean the trauma of that sort of thing goes away.) It’s all fun and games because it gets Guo x Xiao to sleep together and is a bit of a fun get back for Xiao doing it to Wei to get him to sleep with Chu,
But somehow Shuo’s manipulation in making it seem like he slept with Guo was far too much. His manipulation, which frankly was really him just taking advantage of things that were happening and of Wei and Chi own fucking miscommunication, just so he can get Chi x Wei to break up is what made him a horrible person.
To this fandom from what I have seen, the Core 4 manipulation is okay but Shuo’s isn’t (and frankly I don’t care if the Core4 manipulation was to bring people together and Shuo was used to separate. Manipulation is manipulation is manipulation.)
There’s a hypocrisy in this fandom where the Core4 can get away with horrible stuff but Shuo isn’t allowed the same courtesy. You can’t claim you love that every one is toxic on this show but let others get away with their toxicity and not others.
The novel has also paid a part in it. Now I will be honest and say I’ve never read it and don’t plan to especially since the author herself has expressed that we shouldn’t cause she doesn’t stand by much of what she wrote in it since the last 10 years it was published.
Having said that, from the bits I’m seen from people that have read it, the novel goes into greater details about Shuo and it shows Shuo suffered a hell a lot more than what the show was able to get to. Apparently he lived a childhood where their mother enjoyed watching her sons fight. To Shuo being told by Chi’s circle of friends that he was the homewrecker getting in the way of Chi x Guo from getting together and Chi doing jackshit to defend Shuo from that. To seeing that in the novel, Shuo was able to eventually integrate himself into to the circle of the Core 4 only for his brother to whisk him away from them.
All of these factors have contributed so much to why I feel so overprotective of him. Why if I could narratively whisk him away from people that may have loved him but didn’t love him enough or loved him in the wrong way. To a fandom I feel truely doesn’t get him and just uses him in cartoonish villainous ways in their fanfiction for the sake of the drama and plot instead of treating him like the dimensional character he is.
*Sigh,This frankly got a lot longer than I meant to and probably not much are going to see down and read this…but yeah I just finally wanted to let out all the thoughts I had in my head ever since Shuo first got onto my screen and how this broken soul of a man just dug his way into my heart the way frankly no other character has been able to do in my 30s of fandom life.

The longer I watch this show, the more I realise that as much as I adore the main couple, my attention is just more drawn to the ghostship that doesn't even bother hiding well.
They are just so interesting, and that is my biggest need in a ship!

while the louella/lou lou actresses seem perfectly capable i can’t help but feel incredibly annoyed with the casting directors for completely fumbling the intention that was clear in the book.
black and native american girls go missing all the time in this country and absolutely no one bats an eye. many people simply turn their heads and write it off as normal. to have a character from the poorest section of her district die and for no one to care or even notice except the ones who closest to her could’ve been poignant commentary if not for the casting director’s ignorance. yea sure maybe the clone replacement part doesn’t happen irl but every other aspect happens every single day. girls who are brutally murdered and their lives are deemed unworthy enough to give a damn.
and really, do the actresses have to resemble jennifer lawrence to get the point across that katniss reminds haymitch of louella? like seriously? we already went through this with rue and prim, a character doesn’t have to be the same race or even have identical features to remind one of someone else.
“She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that, she’s very like Prim in size and demeanor.” it’s written SO CLEARLY in the book that this shouldn’t even be a conversation anymore. like obviously the hunger games fandom hasn’t changed much in the last 13 years. 😑

something something to be said about how chi cheng has always maintained his stance on wang shuo and him, that "i was in love with the situation, not the person."
the situation? what exactly is "the situation", if a romantic relationship is between 2 people? the situation is how cheng yu is there. always. the situation is how, when he's drunk, chi cheng yearns for and craves for cheng yu, not wang shuo. wants to touch cheng yu kiss cheng yu play with cheng yu calls out cheng yu's name in bed. the situation is how he can ~have~ wang shuo and ~have~ cheng yu. one when sober, the other when drunk. until he couldn't. bc he thought cheng yu would rather sleep with wang shuo, than him, chi cheng, soulmate of cheng yu, chi cheng, who's known cheng yu the longest and best, chi cheng, who's kissed cheng yu and touched cheng yu, chi cheng, who's whole world is just cheng yu cheng yu cheng yu.
truth is, the situation is that cheng yu must be there. has to be there. forever and always. non negotiable. its having cheng yu close by, just enough, without actually having him. see, there can never be a romance between chi cheng and cheng yu - they're just too ........ messed up for that. know each other too much and too much about each other and too well, at that. all they haven't done, is had sex. if one day they had to break up, well, they can't. they'd be toxic exes with too baggage to ever go back to just being just best friends again. it just. wouldn't be able to happen. and chi cheng and cheng yu are both too afraid to lose one another like that, "all for the sake of love, for a guy.", like cheng yu put it to xiao shuai.
but the idea of having cheng yu? is one that chi cheng verrrry much wants and could have. just. in a very. you know. roundabout way. enter wang shuo. and that's the situation chi cheng created with his own 2 hands, and loves.
