🧸 Danmei Book Recommendation: 安乐死 Euthanasia by 风溯君 Feng Su Jun

• Title in pinyin: an le si

• Genre/setting: Modern, entertainment industry (film)

• Introduction (translated by me):

Each day, how many people are born is how many people die. Those who don’t have a right to decide on their birth at least have a right to decide on their death. No one could figure out why young, tremendously wealthy John chose euthanasia.

He was well-prepared on the day of his death, but when he woke up again, he had acquired a legal husband.

• Pros: likeable cast of characters, interracial transnational couple, story interspersed with some humour, pursuit of dreams, mutual support, thoughtful verbalisations of affection and encouragement. John Williams’ expressiveness, quirkiness, and unabashed love of childish and feminine things go well with Liu Zhiwei’s stability (even-tempered, mature, resilient).

• Other tags: LGBTQ+ issues, family, rough personal histories. I excluded spoilery tags.

• Cons: many, many flaws (for example, the lack of detail regarding John’s rehabilitation, an incorrect depiction of how one should treat coral reefs while diving, an interview arrangement that doesn’t make sense), too troublesome to list them all

• Excerpt (translated by me):

“You are a part of my dream,” said John. “God played a prank on me, putting my dream on the other side of the globe. But luckily I found you in the end.”

• Despite the intro, Liu Zhiwei, not John, is the main character in my view. The story is told from several characters’ perspectives, but the book centres on Liu Zhiwei more than John.

• At the start of the story, Liu Zhiwei is a broke background actor with little hope left.

• It’s open to interpretation, but I think John is the top, haha.

• John’s name is not spelled as John in the book. I believe the name in the novel is not what the author would have chosen if their first language were English, because the spelling is unusual, yet it is mentioned in the book that there are many people in the US with that name. Hence, I’ve taken the liberty to use the similar-sounding “John” here.

something i wish i'd see more in trigun fanarts is people having vash speak their native/non-english languages completely unprompted, ive seen folks have him speak french, which he canonically knows, but i really do believe he's a polyglot. mostly because of that one time in the desert when he saw the samurai and wanted to greet him in japanese but struggled to remember how to even say hello.

my headcanon is that rem had them learn as many languages as possible but with the big fall and so many people dying, which i think is what led english to became No man's land main (or even only?) language, means that vash (and knives!) both got horribly out of practice and are various sort of rusty in every others languages.

what im saying if there's any pun or joke you've been dying to write but just doesn't work in english vash (and knives!!) are right there!

If you ever think you're petty, remember that when the French royal family was imprisoned in the Temple's tower during the Revolution (in 1792), the antechamber to King Louis XVI's bedroom was decorated with a wallpaper that "represented the inside of a prison cell", and on that wall, in a blue-white-red (revolutionary colours) frame, there was a copy of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen "written in very large print"

(from the Journal of Cléry, the King's last footman)
