checking for interest in this as a resource, but if i were to make a blog dedicated to saving and organizing the wealth of meta and analysis posts that this wonderful fandom has created since mlc began airing, would people here find that useful?

li xiangyi/li lianhua and jiao liqiao both spent ten years obsessively doing everything for the sake of someone they loved. someone they missed, someone who saved their life a long time ago and they never forgot it. but that all turned to dust when they learned that whatever they'd thought the other person had felt for them was actually a lie, and they had no route left but to face that reality in whatever way they could grasp

haha that's a nice starry-eyed ambition you've got there buddy. sure hope the narrative doesn't warp it into something ruthless and all-consuming

in a modern with cultivation au wei wuxian to the juniors would be like. that one guy in your profession who literally everyone uses as a cautionary tale BUT he's simultaneously the single most cited dude in academic papers across the field and he's conducted at least a third of the original research to begin with

to every aromantic, aro-spec, or allo person content without a romantic partner who's feeling alienated this valentine's day: i'm sorry we live in an amatonormative hellscape that doubles down every february thanks to capitalism, but you're not in this alone. fuck the social norms and live the life you want. romance does not make the human experience, and you're not broken or pitiful without it. also i'm handing you a beverage of your choice and a hug if you want as reparations

the fact is that the john wick movies are at least a little camp and you simply cannot take them fully seriously if you want to get the most out of them. yes the dialogue can be ridiculously broody and dramatic. the plot is just a convoluted means to wrangle fight scene after fight scene into place. this entire setting is fucking absurd. and it's great!! who cares!!! you don't watch john wick for award-winning scriptwriting, you watch the films to see keanu reeves kill people for 2+ hours in a visual feast of stunt choreography and lighting. also there's genuinely hilarious dark comedy moments, and they Make some scenes at times. try to take john wick as a wholly gritty dark straight-faced action franchise and you will end up disappointed and also have no fun. if you ever find yourself doing so, please check yourself and remember that the catalyst for all these movies is john getting revenge for people shooting his dog. and the correct reaction to this is that he's entirely right. thank you and have a good night
