one thing that's striking me when reading the My Stand In novel scenes that align with ep 1-2 is that Joe aka ZhouXiang isn't stupid or oblivious. He doesn't know Ming is obsessed with his sister's man & using him to vent frustrated desires. But he knows Ming is completely self-absorbed, has "a bad temper", and swings hot & cold. Yet Joe/ZhouXiang is infatuated, a bit lonely, and is simply at a place where he's ready to settle down and get domesticated. Joe KNOWS this is Not Great Bob 🙃 but he finds himself justifying the allowances he's making (everyone forgives beautiful people!) and whenever Ming is involved now, Joe is acting out of character. He's fully aware that he started out just attracted and now he's digging himself deeper and he should stop, but he doesn't. And doesn't and doesn't.
It's painfully relatable: being self-aware that you really shouldn't get more enmeshed with someone... but not able to stop yourself from impulsively clinging. Watching yourself slide into a slow-motion car accident. Knowing it's partially your own damn fault.
It makes the tragedy that we know is coming - we know these circumstances somehow lead to his DEATH - even more pathetic, because he has his own part in this.
Like, he KNOWS the feelings are unbalanced but he's thinking, oh I'm making headway. I can make him return my feelings if I just put in the effort. Haven't we all been there once, chasing affection from someone withholding and almost addicted to the emotional highs/lows, thinking you've gained ground (they texted back! they stopped by late at night! they confessed a vulnerability!) only to see it yanked back.
If Ming is a villian in Joe's story, it's also because Joe is helping it be written that way.

i am about to be just as annoying about lucio as i am about julian i CANNOT with this shit
list of things lucio has done wrong, according to morga:
- was born
- was sick
- did not enjoy chores
- ran away when he was getting attacked by a bear
- had pretty fantastic survival instincts especially for a child that age?? if morga hadn't killed it the musk bear probably would have left on its own eventually?? "hide and wait for help" is literally what we teach children to do in emergencies irl?? i hate this bitch
- "turned into a liar" (read: was lied to by her so many times that she literally skewed his perception of himself)
- chose a different name (very cool, "identity inclusive" game studio)
- took the hint of something she wanted him to do (kill his father)
- realized he probably could not do that the exact same way his mother would have done it because they are two different people with two different sets of abilities
- found a clever way around that in order to accomplish the goal in his own way without doing something he had less confidence in his ability to achieve
- expected love in return for doing as he was told
- ran away when she tried to kill him
- ran away when she tried to kill him 2, the sequel
hello??? HELLO??? i'm losing my everloving mind. as always not a debate i will block you 🩷
