two sons… one birthday ,,, ZERO justice !!!!!! (but anyway happy 20/feb which is jin zixuan and jin guangyao’s birthday)
[image is two drawings placed side-by-side. the first is a profile of a smiling jin zixuan, dressed lavishly in jin gold; a hand presumably belonging to his father is patting his shoulder affectionately. the second is a profile of meng yao, leaning heavily on one elbow as if sprawled on the ground, his clothes torn and his face bruised and bloodied.]
on one hand, I'm usually glad to see people appreciate Wen Ning & Wen Qing, because I'm a sucker for the Burial Mounds family content and they're definitely not appreciated enough in the fandom; on the other hand, the overlap between the Wen siblings stans and JC antis is very annoying tbh
the thing about jin guangshan is like… do you realise how badly you have to fuck up for your chinese child to kill you
and not just any chinese child but meng yao, who by all evidence is one of the most filial children in a series already stuffed with very filial children! he
obeyed his mother’s dying wish with utmost dutifulness despite great difficulty and also it being fairly evident that his efforts would ultimately be futile
remained filial for years to a man who insulted his mother, publicly humiliated and almost killed him, rejected him, then continued to emotionally abuse him even after accepting him into the household
never defended himself in any way against his stepmother even though she was verbally and physically abusing him to the point where he had to make efforts to hide it
built a whole-ass temple to honour his one good parent
really cannot stress just how far pushed jin guangyao would have had to be that he decided on patricide!!!
“Daozhang, why don’t you take me with you tonight?” Xiao Xingchen laughed, “Of course not. If you talk, I start laughing, and if I laugh, my sword won’t be steady anymore.”
