#Zhu Ran

[avionvadion]

Zhou Yu will NOT give up, oh my goodness. 🤣😭 He’s been trying to recruit my girl into Xiahou Dun’s army since I first started this playthrough. This is like the fifth time he’s tried. Like. My good sir, I adore you, but no. Zhu Ran is my emperor- and sworn sibling. Leaving would mean he’d have to abdicate the throne. NOOOO. He still hasn’t had the rivalry battle with Lu Xun’s kingdom!!!

I’m just gonna headcanon he’s pining super hard because they had an A relationship rank before I had my character recruit (and marry) Li Dian and move to Zhu Ran’s kingdom to serve him because the game is mean and won’t let you recruit another person if they’re already serving a ruler unless you have a certain passive action unlocked via your rank. Sigh.

I should have married Li Dian and gotten Zhou Yu up to sworn sibling first before moving kingdoms. Ah, well. Makes for some good headcanon drama, at least.

Freaking hilarious though that Zhu Ran decided to make him and my girl sworn siblings first instead of promoting her to Marshall or Strategist even though I DID THE ESCORT THE RULER QUEST THREE HECKING TIMES. As soon as I decided to serve his kingdom??? Bam, sworn sibling. Where’s my promotion, bro?

Also.

Yue Jin and Li Dian being besties, but Yue Jin is serving Daqiao and Li Dian is married to my character, who is serving Zhu Ran??? More drama!!! Because WOW I have fought this dude in almost every single “quest” I’ve taken so far.

One of these days I'm going to need to write something up about how the way characters' names are written in Chinese seems to influence the Dynasty Warriors' devs portrayal of them. Like Zhu Ran. His personal name is written as 然，you see those four little lines at the bottom? Yeah that's what we call a radical, which are parts of characters that are often repeated and can help give context clues as to the meaning of that character. Anyway, 灬 is a radical that means fire, and sometimes 然 itself is used to mean to blaze or simmer (although it can mean a few different things and I don't really see it used like that so much, it's complicated). And if you add the character for fire 火 to that, it makes it into 燃, which also means 'to burn or ignite'. Like aha. I see guys, I see what you did, you're fulfilling the literary tradition well, even if it is a bit brow-beating sometimes.

You would want to be her disciple, wouldn’t you, Zhu Ran? *sexy music plays*
